“We were very happy with the care Cosmo received from Barbara. She welcomed him into their home and treated him like their own. She’s very friendly and easy to communicate with. I will be using her again when the need arises.”
“Thank you Linda for taking such good care of my precious girl. Pebbles is a senior dog with special needs and Linda took exceptional care of her. Pebbles is unable to walk, Linda took her outside to enjoy some fresh air and administered her medication as needed. It was wonderful receiving videos and photographs throughout the day updating me on how she was doing. Such a relief to find such a warm and friendly person to leave my baby with for the day. Pebbles cannot be left alone anymore, I will not hesitate to call on Linda again in the future. Thank you again.”
“Bob saved our family trip day! We are new to the platform, referred by a family member to join, and it worked out great! Bob was there when we were in a pinch to find a sitter for our furby! Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Natalie! I’ve been providing foster care for the local AWL and Suncoast humane Society for several years! You can trust your pets in my care! Dogs are my passion! I will love yours as my own! I run a local business and set my own schedule! Your pet and its comfort and care will be my top priority! I’m used to adjusting to make the animals in my care happy and comfortable I care for every pet as I would my own! I think they deserve to be babied and pampered!! My love for animals is so strong everyone who knows me can validate that! Please note: our yard is mostly pool!! So if you have a pup that likes the water they will have a blast!

“Teri is wonderful. She is one of the best sitters I have found on Rover. She was quick to respond, very friendly, and sweet and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. She has a good heart, I can tell. Her husband, Ken enjoyed having Bella there, too. He talked to her and gave her treats. He used to have a Bella. They said, Bella is welcome back anytime. Even said that she would be Bella's Grandma #2! They treated her like she was their own. We will be going back, we are actually going back today for day camp and we will be boarding with her. We love our Bella and will not leave her with just anyone. With them, we do not have to worry about her at all. We are originally from Tennessee and still have family there. So, I like to have several people that I can rely on to watch Bella, just in case we have a family emergency. We rescued that loan when she was 5 months old and she has been socializing since she is a four-year-old Goldendoodle, and she has a lot of energy so, she does well with going to day camp twice a week, sometimes three times. Teri will definitely be my go to! It's rate them a 10 🌟, if I could. Thank y'all so much!!”
“Erin and Stephen were great and treated Scooby like their own baby. Great communication and always kept us up to date with video and pictures. Would use them again next time we're in the area.”
“Thanks to Nicole and her family for looking after Latte; she also got to spend time with Ollie and Willow. It’s a wonderful place where your furry friend will be well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Latte with Nicole again.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years I work from home Monday- Friday allowing me to care for a pet in my home and have the ability to take walks, play and love on your pet. We currently do not have any pets but both of us love dogs and would love to care for yours. We are active and loving.
“Sophie's daycare time with Connie went perfectly. Sophie was happy on arrival and, though happy on my return to pick her up, seemed totally content to stay if she needed to. Connie's home is clean and as well-cared for as her canine clients. I'm so glad I found her on Rover and highly recommend her services.”
About: We are retired and would love to welcome your dog into our home for daytime, evening, or overnight care. We offer a comfortable, cage-free environment, unless you prefer that your dog be crated. We only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup will receive lots of individual attention and won’t be overwhelmed by a house full of unfamiliar dogs. We live in a home on the Port Charlotte/Englewood border and have a sweet little dog named GiGi who loves having a furry friend to play with. GiGi is definitely spoiled! She normally sleeps with us, and while staying here, your dog is welcome to sleep wherever he or she feels most comfortable. We want your pup to feel at home—and you can be sure they’ll get plenty of love and attention from us, too. We had our beloved Maltese, Bella, for 13 wonderful years, so we are very comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. We know how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for your pet. Our goal is to give your dog a safe, relaxed, loving home-away-from-home where they’re treated like part of the family until you return. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾💕 We are happily married and retired, living in East Englewood, which gives us plenty of time to provide your dog with lots of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. We have one miniature Cockapoo named GiGi, who is friendly and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Since we’re retired, we have a very flexible schedule and are available for daytime, evening, and overnight care. Your dog will have plenty of company and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. 🐾💕 We have always been dog lovers and have had dogs in our home throughout our lives. To us, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re part of the family, bringing so much love, companionship, and comfort into our lives. We only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup will receive plenty of individual attention in a calm, comfortable home environment. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel safe, secure, and loved while they’re with us. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog will be treated just like one of our own—and very well loved! 🐾💕
“We are so grateful to have found Taylor to take care of our fur baby Bowser. He has really bad separation anxiety so he can’t be left alone. Taylor made sure he received lots of play, attention, and love. He seemed very happy when we picked him up. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative. We will be calling her again next time we need a sitter 🫶”
“Ana was amazing! We met her a couple days before and she and her dog Lex immediately connected with our pup, and then this morning when we went to drop our pup off, she happily trotted in the house to meet Lex instead of freaking out like she normally does when we leave her! She had a great day, we got a bunch of pictures, and she was clearly very happy when we picked her up. Very glad to have found Ana!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manasota Key
Linda and her family took phenomenal care of Tony and Woody for three days in a row of daycare! Leaving two dogs—especially with different energy levels and personalities—can make you nervous, but Linda made us feel completely at ease right from the start. Her family welcomed them with open arms, and it was so clear that Tony and Woody were treated like part of their own family. Communication was prompt and reassuring, and getting sweet daily updates and photos gave us complete peace of mind while we were out during the day. Both boys came home happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired each afternoon. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and attentive sitter, I cannot recommend Linda and her family enough. We will definitely be booking with them again!
I couldn’t have picked a better couple to watch my two girls from Ohio while vacationing in Florida. We decided to bring the girls with us while vacationing, and came upon this site, and decided to give it a try. Big back yard for the girls to run, and the couple even sent us pics playing ball with the girls. Got there to pick them up, and it was like they were right at home . If you are looking for dog care I HIGHLY recommend Glenda and Greg !! Thank you again Glenda and Greg Malinda and Jeff Foster / Pepper and Chili

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Manasota Key
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 505 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Manasota Key. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Manasota Key commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 505 sitters in Manasota Key, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
