“Ashley was great! She was really responsive and flexible, which we much appreciated. Our dog loved her, and we could tell from the pictures he was having a good time. Will definitely be back :)”
“My pups had an awesome day. I had them stay with Mary for a couple of “day” visits to get used to her and her home. Next time she will be keeping them overnight for several days. Mary is awesome… she takes puppies as well as adult dogs. She was working with my dogs on sit commands. They loved being there. Highly recommend!!”
“Maria is definitely a 5 Star pet sitter! We contacted her somewhat last minute for our 2 pups. She was so friendly and welcoming, also sent several photos and updates throughout the day which was so comforting.”
“Andy and his Dad Julio were phenomenal. They gave me updates and my dog got to play with other dogs! They even let him on the couch since he’s hypoallergenic and doesn't shed. They sent pictures and updates. And most importantly tried to keep him as cool as possible in the hot Miami heat. That goes a long way. Definitely recommend. I will be booking again.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13 (now 36) from dog and cats to lizards and snakes. I don't discriminate. When I was younger I only took care of friends and family but now I found rover I am currently on hiatus from my employer so I have ample amount of time to take care of and play with your fur baby. I have a very large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play. I also have my own fur baby to help keep your baby company. I don't crate my small French bulldog but i do have a large crate big enough for a 70 pound dog just in case your dog needs it.
About: I have 10 years of personal pet care experience. I have taken care of dogs for years, with passion and love. I previously adopted two dogs from Broward animal shelter to make them part of our loving family. I offer a safe, loving home environment with a fully fenced spacious backyard for your fur babies to run and let out their energy. As many pets have a routine, I strictly follow their feeding, potty, and medication routine if needed. Whether it’s a couple hours, to a couple days, they become my main priority when they step through the door. I have a free schedule from Monday through Saturday. I offer doggy daycare starting from 8:30am to 6:30pm. I also offer boarding, from 7pm till pickup (example: 7pm the next day) I have a fully fenced spacious backyard for your fur babies to run and play in all day safely. I care for your pet in my loving home, with lots of space to play inside. The minute they walk through the door, they will have constant love.
“Camilla and Maribela were amazing take care of our two dogs for the day! They were very sweet and attentive to the two pups, and sent us the cutest photos of the dogs having a great time. We were running late to pick up the dogs due to traffic, and they were so accomodating and understanding. We will go to them again when we need a dog sitter!”

I had a great experience with Ryela. She was kind, reliable, and accommodating. She cared for my furbaby throughout the day, sent some photos to let me know he was doing well, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in a calm environment. He was happy when I picked him up and brought toys back to Ryela which gave me assurance she treated him well. I would trust her to watch him again. Thank you for taking such good care of Maverick!
Brigitta was amazing! I don’t even know how to describe how awesome she was. We were in town for a week going to a conference and wanted someone to play with our very energetic puppy. She took him running or walking every day. She even went roller blading with him! She sent us photos and updated us throughout the day without us asking. By the end of the week, our dog knew when we were getting close to her place and started getting so excited. If you are looking for someone to take excellent care of your dog, tire them out, or just be loved on….i would recommend Brigitta!
Natalie and her family are always an absolute pleasure! We wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for our fur baby, Pepper. I truly appreciate how they treat her like one of their own. They are our first choice, always and forever! We love you, Natalie and family. Repeat clients for life!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Melrose Park on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Melrose Park 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 3,715 sitters in Melrose Park, 87% 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.
