“Was scrambling to find a sitter the night before work and Ana was so accommodating. My pup is still learning how to be around people/dogs and she was so warm & welcoming. I got update pictures throughout the day and Knoxx looked so happy to be there! She is absolutely amazing and most definitely will be using her services again!”
“Maribel was super attentive to our pup Mochi! She sent us updates during the sitting, and as soon as we brought Mochi home, she fell right asleep!! Thank you so much for watching our pup!!”
“We had a great experience with our Rover sitter, Jeanette! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for our pup was. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we felt completely confident leaving our dog in her care. We would absolutely book with Jeanette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Sheila and her entire family make Sarge feel so welcome! He literally drags us to her door because he is so excited to visit! They are clearly animal lovers and treat him as their own. Highly recommend!”
About: I've always had pets growing up from turtles, fish, ferrets and cats and dogs! I have watched several of my friends and family pets. I am currently working from home 40 hours a week and can host a dog or 2 depending on size for daycare/boarding. I am also available for morning and evening check-ins and walks! I do work from home so your babies can come hang out with me and my puppers during the work day and play out all their energy! I do have a 1.5 yr old golden doodle who loves to play and stays home with me now that I work from home. We love to go on walks or go to the park.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since my teenage years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large German Shepherds. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Neptune, our 7-year-old Pomsky, and two rescued shelter cats from Louisiana. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My husband also works remotely part-time from home, so there is usually someone home during the day. Our teenage daughter is home for the summer as well, meaning your pets will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We recently added a fenced 0.34-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Our home is calm, family-oriented, and full of animal lovers, with multiple people available to give attention and care. I’m experienced with dogs of many sizes and personalities and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Valerie is really good with Onyx.She treated him as her own.Very happy with her service.Will definitely contact her again if I need doggie daycare.Mahalo Valerie for accepting Onyx in a short notice.”
“Tyeshia did an amazing job watching my fur baby, Uno! She was caring, attentive, and kept me updated which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Uno was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets!”
“Nicole was WONDERFUL to deal with! We booked very last minute changed plans 3 times and picked her up early due to plan changes and Nicole was super cool and easy to communicate with the entire time. My pup is very anxious and she went right into Nicoles home like she had been there 100 times. Finding a sitter for Lilah is soooo difficult and stressful with her anxiety and Nicole made it a breeze. She truly was a blessing 💕”
About: I’m not sure that I’m much different then most pet loving people. I do have experience training adults and puppies, I have had a variety of breeds for pets. I feel that I can connect with dogs. My pets went to obedience school, allowing me to pick up some training skills. I haven’t met a friendly dog that I didn’t fall in love with yet. As I said before- Let me love your pets. Plenty of time for whatever you and your pets needs may be. I have open availability at this time, so please take advantage while it lasts. I have a large fenced in backyard with a pool. If your baby likes to swim, provide the life jacket and we will have some fun in the water.
About: I have cared for and trained canines for decades. As a decades long instructor, I have a developed strong compassionate care attributes that have blended well with my care for furry friends. I am retired and spend most of my time at home or doing activities with my fur child. Taking care of my pet is what I do. I have a fully fenced property with plenty of room to run. I am conscientious and respectful of persons reasonable requests that are unique to their pet.
“They took good care of my baby, Perry. We came to Miramar, FL not knowing that you need a permit to bring dogs to the beach- which was the plan to bring Perry to see the beach for the first time- and Andrew & Maria came to the rescue to babysit Perry for a whole day while my husband & I had a beach date. Definitely will contact them again next time we're there.”
About: I've been taking care of animals ever since I was young, from hamsters to fish to dogs and more. I've managed both calm and trouble making animals and have experience dealing with the full age range of pets due to my personal experience as a dog owner, and from my time volunteering as a foster home for dog shelters. I'm currently working part-time, and so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm available for just about hour of day for any period of time. Taking care of animals has been my weekly norm since I was a kid, so it's just what I'm used to. I have a large fenced yard for pets to feel free and roam around, and I've a multitude of my own resources at home such as bowls, crates, and pens to be used as needed. I usually like to give a pet a feel of independence to wander however they'd like throughout the home and yard, but can easily step in if greater supervision is needed. I'm usually always in the same space as my animals.
About: Hi, I'm Kayle (pronounced Kay-Lee), but feel free to call me “Kat” both names work for me! I've had a lifelong passion for animals and have been caring for them since childhood.

I have extensive experience with a variety of dog breeds, including Beagles, Dalmatians, Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Dachshunds, Aussies, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and more. I’m also well versed in looking after kittens and cats. I provide drop-in visits, daily walks, and house-sitting services. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and can administer oral medication if necessary. I actively volunteer with the local dog rescues, walking and socializing the dogs waiting for their forever homes. Additionally, I foster rescue dogs from time to time, focusing on socialization (both with my own pets and individually), basic behavioral training, and helping them become comfortable with grooming and handling. I’m active duty serving at Eglin AFB as a medical technician. My main schedule is Monday through Friday, from 7 am to 4 pm.

About: Hey there! I'm Jaznie and I'm absolutely thrilled to offer the best care for your beloved family member right here in Fort Walton Beach! I have years of experience as a dedicated pet owner, growing up my house was always full of bunnies, dogs, cats, turtles and even little parrots. I understand that your pets aren't just animals, they're members of the home. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a cozy lap to nap on, or your feline friend requires some extra playtime and cuddles, I'm here to provide personalized attention and a safe, loving environment. I'm passionate about making sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. Why choose me? I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely adore animals. I'm also committed to clear communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how much fun your pet is having! Let's connect and chat about how I can be the perfect pal for your pet. I'm thrilled to offer exclusive, one-on-one pet care. My schedule is wide open, meaning your pets will be the sole focus of my attention. No juggling multiple clients here! I want every pet to feel loved and cared for, not uncomfortable by the presence of other animals they haven't been properly introduced to. A typical day with me starts early between 7 and 8 AM with a refreshing walk around my neighborhood. We'll then settle into a rhythm that includes dedicated playtime, mental stimulation through trick practice (with owner-approved treats!), and plenty of cuddles. Midday will bring another chance for outdoor adventure, ensuring your pet is happy and active. As evening approaches, I'll gently guide them into their wind-down routine, aiming for a consistent bedtime. They can even sleep in my room for extra comfort and security, unless you prefer they have their own space. I'm constantly attuned to their needs – whether it's a longer walk, more water, or just extra snuggles. And I will send pictures throughout the day of the things your pet is doing so you know everything is going accordingly. How I Care for Pets in My Home (Boarding): When your furry family member stays with me, they become part of my temporary household! I only host one family's pets at a time, ensuring your beloved companion receives my undivided attention and a stress-free environment. This means no sharing space or attention with other clients' animals, just personalized love for your pet. A typical day begins between 7 and 8 AM with a neighborhood walk. We then settle into a comfortable routine that includes: Plenty of Playtime & Cuddles: Engaging play sessions tailored to their energy level or cozy snuggles on the couch. Mental Stimulation: We can practice tricks and provide treats (approved by you, of course!) to keep their minds sharp and engaged. Consistent Potty Breaks: Another walk is always on the agenda later in the day to ensure they're comfortable. Attentive Care: I'm always checking on water levels and food, ensuring they get the perfect amount of outdoor time, and watching for any signs of discomfort. Nighttime Routine: As the day winds down, I help them settle into their evening routine, aiming for a consistent bedtime. For their comfort and security, your pet is welcome to sleep in my room (unless you prefer they have their own designated, comfortable space). Daily Updates: You'll receive regular photo and text updates, so you can see how much fun your pet is having and have complete peace of mind. To ensure your pet feels perfectly at home and comfortable during their stay, please pack everything they'll need for their visit. This helps maintain their routine and makes them feel more secure! Here's a quick list to get you started: Their Bed: Please ensure it's thoroughly clean before drop-off, or I can clean it for an additional fee. Food: Enough for their entire stay, plus a little extra just in case! Food & Water Bowls Favorite Toys Collar & Leash Crate (if applicable): If they are crate-trained or use one for sleeping. Any Medications with clear instructions. Anything else you feel is necessary to make their stay feel like home! I'm truly excited to welcome your furry friend and provide them with a fantastic, loving experience here in my home.
“This was our first time leaving Arnie with Lauren for day care and he had the best day. We got updates with pictures when they went on walks or were doing anything. Really appreciate Lauren's quick responses and how caring she was towards Arnie. Will be booking again whenever we're back in Destin!”

Tyeshia did an amazing job watching my fur baby, Uno! She was caring, attentive, and kept me updated which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Uno was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets!
If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby look no further… seriously, you can stop here. This was my first time using the Rover app and I was so worried. Jeannette took my dog in not only last minute but on Mother’s Day when I had a groomer back out on me. She was so kind, my dog immediately felt at home she treated her like family. Let her lay on the couch and lounge with her, played outside, and she has the sweetest kids that gave her so much love. It’s clear she knows how to take care of all different types of breeds of dogs and same goes for her husband who was also very kind. I immediately felt relieved when I dropped nala off and enjoyed my time with family. She sent photos and asked all the questions to make sure I was comfortable and even better that Nala was comfortable. I will be visiting the area again because Nala loved staying here! She also enjoyed playing with her dog that was as sweet as can be. 🩷🩷
One of the best ever! Maria - Andrew’s wife took such a very great care of my pup!! She sent me many pics and videos during his 8 hours+ stay and I could freely enjoy the day without even wonder how Tony was! He is a very loving human-attached Boston Terrier, and Maria ensured he was loved and spoiled all the time. If you meet her, you can tell from the meet up that she is so kind, calm and love dogs!! Thanks so much! We would definitely book again! 🤍
I am so grateful I have found Sheila. Sheila and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Lily. From the moment I met them, I felt completely at ease knowing Lily would be in such caring hands. Sheila kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for kind and caring dog sitter.
Alexandra was amazing. We traveled to Destin for a night. We needed a dog sitter for the day. Alexandra was accommodating and corresponded well prior and during the visit. Our dog was initially nervous. Alexandra made her feel safe. She updated us throughout the day with texts and photos. We could not have been happier. I would highly recommend Alexandra for any dog needs whether you live in the area or are on vacation.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ocean City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ocean City on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 379 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ocean City. 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 Ocean City 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.

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.
