“Pat is the most wonderful caregiver! We feel so confident leaving our precious pug with her - it's like having her stay with a favorite Auntie for the day! Our dog has a great, exciting day hanging out with Pat and meeting some new dog-friends and we have no worries while we're gone. Thank you Pat and Rover for making dog-care - even while we are on vacation away from home - such an easy and delightful process! Hugs from Amee, David & Gruntle”
“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!”
“Mark took our request on very short notice and took really good care of Beanie. Beanie can be a little anxious around other dogs, but he handled it really well and made him feel comfortable. He had a great time playing and completely dozed off after coming home, which means he had lots of fun!”
“Paul was fantastic with Molly. Even though our request was last-minute, he was incredibly accommodating and took wonderful care of her. He kept us at ease by sending frequent updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. Molly came home happy and well cared for—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“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.”
“Today was Luca's first day with Nytza and her family. He was very calm when I picked him up and fell asleep as soon as we came home so, I will assume that he had a very active and happy day. I was extremely appreciative for the pictures and video that were sent. Luca will be boarding with Nytza and her family later this week so today was mainly a trial run to ensure that he played well with their dog and small children. The communication throughout this process was great. It's comforting to know that Luca had a good day but even more comforting to know that you and your family liked having him. I am sure that he will have a great time with you guys while we are away.”
“Darcy and Dave are so sweet to my puppy. they are always so responsive and send pictures of my puppy and update on how the day is going. i had been worried that bringing my puppy to a daycare so young that she wouldn’t do well but it seems to be the opposite! Darcy is super helpful and her time with darcy has been a huge help for helping to teach her”
“Another 5 star rating! Dominique was awesome. We did a very thorough meet and greet the night before service and my fur babies knew immediately they would be comfortable with her. I can tell because they pick their humans carefully. On the day she cared for them, they received lots of walks and I got many pictures which put my mind at ease. She asked about their needs and I especially like the fact that she only cares for one fur family at a time. As a bonus, she is very close to me. I will definitely be a repeat customer and I cannot recommend highly enough!”
“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!”
“Dan was great with our pup. He has a large fenced yard for the pooches to run and play He was very responsive to communication and I will definitely use him again.”
“Brittany was absolutely fantastic both before and throughout our first day of boarding with Hoola. There was great communication with a meet and greet and eventual day of fun with Brittany and Hugo (who is truly a gem of a dog.) Hoola was clearly very well cared for and loved in our absence. Thanks for making this experience so positive and we look forward to booking with you again soon. Definitely would highly recommend.”
About: I have had 2-4 pets in my home for my entire life and they have always been cared for lovingly and well. I am consistently trusted to check in on or dog/house sit for family and friends. I am a college student home for the summer so I have full availability during days and nights. I am willing to overnight sit and drop in throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and two small elderly dogs. They are crate trained and can stay separate from the dogs I am dog sitting if needed. They are friendly and low energy. All size dogs welcome for my services!
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!
“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!”
About: I’ve always took care of my best friends dog since I got here. I can shower, feed, play and spend time with them. Take care of them as my own dog. I have my own job it’s my timing whenever I can take care of the dogs I make my timing for them. And on here it’s scheduled. I love them as my own. I take them out a lot and play with them. Let them in my furniture and anywhere around my house. My neighbor has a puppy and she always comes to my house so they can be together and make friends.
About: I’d love to watch your pups at my house or at yours! *your dog MUST be crated trained to stay at my house* I have two dogs of my own who LOVE other dogs. We have a fully fenced in yard, so they get lots of exercise daily. I work from home, and can take the dogs out as much as possible during the day. They are hardly left alone! I work from home full time, so I am able to care for your pet during the day at anytime! I can take them on walks, drop in just to say hi, and do feedings. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home to keep your dog company! I can easily crate your dog as well. My dogs are crated when I leave the house. I know how to administer insulin, as my parent’s dog is diabetic and I have given her the shot many times.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Palm Shores on Rover is $29.97 per day (as of June 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 464 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.
