“Idalis is a great hostess for our dog Daisy. She is a cream lab and Idalis’s pet golden Logan was a great playmate for her. She spent 5 days there for doggie day care. The first day she was scared when we dropped her off. But the next 4 days she was super happy as soon as she saw us picked up the leash. She was ready to go! She seemed to enjoy being out of the house for some playtime and walk, and when she comes home she is tired. I know she will miss Idalis and her whole family. When we go vacation we will definitely take daisy there for boarding.”
“I would only leave my dog for one day because we were open to leaving him with someone strange, but we like Poliana so much that we will leave it for a total of 4 days 😅🥰”
“Viviana and her husband have been absolutely amazing with my puppy. By day 3 he was running from my car to go have the best day with them. They’re great about keeping you updated with photos and videos to give you peace of mind while you’re at work.”
“This was my first experience leaving my dog Lupe with Andreana, she took great care of him and sent us plenty of updates. Highly recommend her! Thank you Adreana, Lupe had a great time with you!!!”
“Julie is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of Groot, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he’s with her. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about him. Groot loves her, which says it all! We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter. Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Great experience! Elisabeth is terrific with Henry, my 2 yr old miniature poodle mix. Henry is timid and not used to being away from me at home. He did exceptionally well with Elisabeth. She sent pictures and videos so we could see how he was doing. He was playing and was 100% happy when I picked him up. Her house is very clean and there’s a lovely fenced yard. I will definitely use Elisabeth for our upcoming trips!”
“Danielle is the best. Very responsive and sent photos throughout the day. My dog never eats at daycare bc of nerves but she ate at Danielle’s. She was very well taken care of. I hope she’ll have us back!”
“There are no words to describe how great Roseli has been ❤️. Georgina loves her and her new friends. Roseli helped our dog to be more self confident and to improve her relation with other people as our dog is extremely shy. We've been receiving pictures and videos constantly and we were really happy to see how much fun she was having. We will definitely come back to Roseli each time we are on the Orlando area 🙂. See you soon Roseli! 🐶”
“Jared was great! He sent lots of pictures and took great care of my Loki. She came home and was so tired from all of the play with his pups! Would definitely book again.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Coco! We appreciate you for always being so kind and flexible. We know she loves going to your house because she runs out of the car to your front door - she can't wait to stay with you!”
“Chella takes such great care of Skip! She makes sure he gets his walks in and stays on his usual schedule. He always seems so happy and comfortable at her place -and comes home completely tired and ready for a nap! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and that Skip genuinely enjoys being around. Thank you, Chella! 🐾❤️”

“My dog had a great day with Alexandria. He was comfortable from the beginning and received the care and attention he needed. She did an awesome job caring for Lucky. Not to mention the picture updates throughout the day (my favorite part of his stay). Alexandria was consistent with keeping me posted during his stay and he was happy!”
About: I've had the utter joy of dog sitting for over 10 years for friends, family, and word of mouth. Caring for dogs brings me much pleasure and I’m able to do so as I work from home. My work is very flexible and I’m able to go for walks on my breaks with your dog. I love dogs of every breed in particular. I have one Pomeranian fur-baby that is pretty shy and will probably want to just stay in her own space. You can rest assured that your fur baby will be comfortable and well loved in my home. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible work load that allows me to give attention to your fur-baby and take them on nice walks I have one small Pomeranian that stays to herself. I live in a quiet safe neighborhood and will take your dog for a nice walk if desired.
“Helene was incredible! My partner and I decided to spend a few weeks near Orlando and brought our pup Cedric along for the ride. We wanted to go to Universal Studios for a day so needed a dog sitter. Helene met with us for a meet and greet a few days before our boarding so that we were all very comfortable and Cedric would be okay spending time at her house. On the day Helene was fantastic. She sent us photo updates and let us know he was eating his meals. Gave us some peace of mind during our trip. Cannot recommend Helene highly enough.”
About: Hi! My name is Alyssa. I am a lifelong dog owner and former dog foster parent. I have experience caring for dogs of all natures - senior dogs, reactive dogs, and administering medications. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your fur baby. Leave that worry at the door when your pet stays in my home! I will love and care for you let as if they are our own! My work allows me to be home all day, allowing me to provide personalized care and attention, never miss medication doses, and plenty of cuddles! My husband also works remotely two days a week. Although he will not be responsible for care, he shares my love and compassion for dogs and will love your pet like his own too! We own a 5 year old, 80lb Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix named Duke. He is neutered, well-trained (he talks with buttons!), very socialized, and adapts well to visiting dogs. He will lie down when playing with smaller dogs and respects boundaries when playtime is over. My home is currently child-free, creating a quiet environment with a perfectly sized, fenced in backyard. My home and yard provide a variety of enrichment and separate spaces for dogs who prefer their own area. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet in our home!

He has been noted to comfort and welcome new dogs at his day care. He is impressive with understanding boundaries and can either give your dog space or be your dog’s new BFF (best furry friend!)! I
About: Since I can remember, I’ve been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by pets. My family taught me from a young age to love, respect, and properly care for animals, and caring for them has always been something very special to me. Over the years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I enjoy spending time with them, playing, going on walks, giving baths, keeping their space clean and comfortable, and making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. For me, caring for a pet is more than just a responsibility. it’s about making sure they feel happy, safe, and at home. 🐾❤️ I also work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. This means I can give your pet plenty of attention, follow their routine, and make sure they don’t feel alone for long periods of time. I live in a perfect area full of nature and safe places for your pets for walks, I have a house with enough space and I have a medium-sized balcony that is safe for them.
About: Hi! I'm Cherry, an Orlando-based dog lover offering boarding and day care. Because I work from home full-time, your pup is never left alone — there's always someone here for potty breaks, play, and company throughout the day, which makes a real difference for boarding and for dogs who get anxious or need a little extra attention. I've spent years caring for my sister's small dog — daily walks, feeding, and lots of playtime — so I'm comfortable with everyone from bouncy little dogs to calm, low-key companions. I treat every dog like my own: steady routines, plenty of exercise, and a safe, relaxed space to settle in. You'll get clear communication and regular photo updates, so you always know how your dog is doing. I'm happy to start with a free meet-and-greet to make sure it's a great fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! I'm available on both weekdays and weekends with advance notice. Since I work from home, I have good flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I'm happy to arrange boarding and daycare when booked ahead. I'll always do my best to accommodate your schedule — just reach out early so we can plan the details and make sure it's a great fit. I live in a quiet, non-smoking home with no children and a small fenced backyard, which makes for a calm, low-stress environment for dogs to relax in. My neighborhood is peaceful with community parks nearby and a dog park close by, so there's plenty of opportunity for safe walks and exercise.
About: I've walked dogs as a kid, I have cared for my family's own 4 dogs (at different times). Dogs are my passion and I knew from an early age that I wanted to work with animals.

My two dogs spend time inside and outside in my fenced in yard and look forward to playing with your dog! My main passion has always been dogs. I have a fenced yard. I can easily crate my older dog If needed...my puppy gets along with everyone. Walk, feed, play, medication(s) if needed. My older dog is on heart medication.

Chella takes such great care of Skip! She makes sure he gets his walks in and stays on his usual schedule.

We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and that Skip genuinely enjoys being around. Thank you, Chella! 🐾❤️
If you are looking for a pet sitter who will treat your pet like her own, it would be Grace. I cannot speak highly enough about Grace and her wonderful family watching my pup. We recently adopted lab puppy who needs a lot of attention. Without hesitation, Grace accepted my last minute requests for day camp at her home. Her communication was amazing. I received so many pictures and updates throughout the day. My pup is only 3 months old and can still get into trouble. They have created a very safe environment for her and gave her plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep her happy and busy. She loved going for walks, playing in the backyard and even got to have water day which was perfect on a hot day. If you are looking for the perfect pet sitter, look no further.
A few reasons why we would recommend Caroline as a sitter: - phenomenal communication before booking as well as during the stay - many photos/videos received throughout the day - flexibility with drop off and pickup times - major plus that Sailor made friends with her doggos and they had a great time playing We are so thankful for Caroline for opening up her home to our pup for the day!

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 Oakland 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
