“Pat is amazing! I was looking for a sitter to not only watch my new fur baby while I was out of town, but also someone who does daycare. When reaching out to Pat she started the process with a meet-and-greet to ensure our fur babies were a good fit, I really appreciated that extra step. I sent my baby to Pat yesterday for daycare for the very first time, and Pat made the experience amazing! She sent me pictures and videos to quell my nerves and sadness for having to leave my baby while I went to work for a 12-hour shift. I felt like she cared for my Miss Lucille like it was her own dog. Speaking of her own dog, Pat has the sweetest fur baby, Gilly. Gilly is a gentle giant who is so patient with Lucille, as Lucille is still learning to play with fur friends. I am 100% satisfied and thrilled to have found Pat as a sitter for my baby, and I already have my next two sittings booked with her.”
“I was very grateful to Christy for her warm welcome and my dogs took to her, too. We did a meet n greet, so they could sniff everything around her home for daycare, and eventually overnights. I left them for 2 hours for their first daycare, and Christy sent me pictures, asked questions and was very attentive to their needs, even with things I forgot to mention (like putting out a water dish). They were calm and content when I picked them up and I can tell Christy’s calm and friendly nature and home were just perfect for their needs. Thank you!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and other animals almost my whole life! I've watched dogs for friends and family, and dogs of all sizes! I love each and every pet I meet, and have a beloved little dog of my own! I believe each and every pet has their own personality, and each deserve their own unique love, care, and quality time. From big, small, old and young, I will take care of your pet as if they were my very own! I am currently not employed in a work setting, but do work on my side business as a crocheter part time, so I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! My schedule is very flexible, so I can work with your schedule too! I have a partially fenced yard, with one small side not fenced, so taking dogs out on a leash is no problem for me! In home there are no breakable items within reach of any sized pet, and no harmful items within reach either. My super comfy couch and bed is pet friendly so your fur babies can rest their heads wherever they would like! If going for a walk, I live on a road that stretches almost a mile long with a sidewalk on both sides. If in the clients home, the house will be respected and any notes or rules will be followed (ex. House codes and gate codes, potty breaks outside, walks, any needs of the pet). If a pet needs medication, assistance or any other specific care, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is healthy and happy!
“Mark made Hudson feel right at home and like he was part of the pack. He made me feel at ease when I dropped him off as sometimes Hudson can be a bit persnickety and I left knowing he would have control of the situation and Hudson fit right in! Would recommend and book again!”
“Jorge’s service was great. My pets spent the day with him and were returned to me well. I received pictures and he was responsive to my check texts. His property is welcoming and so was he. I would recommend his services to anyone looking in this area.”
“Cessna was excited when she met Paul, and he took her for a walk as soon as I dropped her off. I really liked that. Paul sent me lots of pictures of her throughout the day, and I felt good knowing she was safe and comfortable while I was away. I also loved that she was the only dog in his care.”
“Dominique did an amazing job minding our girl a few times while we were in the area. On day two she was excitedly waiting at her door wagging her tail! Dominique was kind and really spent time getting to know Pepsi, we really appreciate her and would not hesitate to highly recommend her!”
“Luca absolutely loves spending time with Nytza and her family. They have been extremely flexible with me and the needs that we have when it concerns Luca. They are amazing and we are appreciative.”
“Had a great experience with Olivia! They were super communicative, sending me photos and updates of my dog playing and relaxing. It was clear that my dog had a blast and was well taken care of. When I picked him up he was a happy, tired dog, and I'll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Dan was amazing! I chose him because he was careful and wanted to meet Nakita before accepting the booking. She was comfortable with him almost immediately, and he was exactly what I was looking for! Highly recommend the meet-and-greet for anyone who watches your pups. Thanks Dan for taking great care of our girl🥰”
“I love my little girl so much and I’m very particular about who she stays with. She can be a whole lotta personality. Let me tell you how absolutely amazing and fantastic Darcy and Dave are! They welcomed her with open arms and took such good care of her. Tulip even asked me on the way home when the next time was, she could go and play at Miss Darcy and Mr. Dave‘s house. So trust these two to treat your babies better than you treat them!”
“An amazing family that kept my pups happy and busy! They sent frequent pics and updates without me having to reach out first, which is always much appreciated! They will definitely become my sitter of choice!”
“My Chiweenie Brandi just spent the day at Doggy day care with Jami. Brandi was a rescue and is very timid and does not do well in new situations. Jami made her "feel at home" and when Jami sent me a picture during the day, I could tell Brandi was happy! Jami was amazing and I hope Brandi is a regular visitor there! Thank you, Jami!”
“My fur baby had the best time with Carly! I don’t think she wanted to come home. Carly did a great job keeping me updated throughout the day and made me feel assured that Nala was in great hands.”
“Last minute notice while I was moving and had to work and they helped me massively! Despite my buddy being a bit rambunctious they made him comfortable. Highly recommend, very responsive, kind and helpful! Even watched my fish bowl!”

We feel very comfortable with our 5-month old border collie, Luffy, being cared for by Patricia. Patricia seems to really care about her charges and sends us pictures and updates about how Luffy is doing. She has a very nice big back yard where Luffy can run and play. Luffy absolutely LOVES Patricia. We can highly recommend Patricia without any reservations.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Palm Shores on Rover is $29.97 per day (as of September 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 Palm Shores 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 462 sitters in Palm Shores, 88% 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.
