“Bob saved our family trip day! We are new to the platform, referred by a family member to join, and it worked out great! Bob was there when we were in a pinch to find a sitter for our furby! Thank you!”
“Teri is absolutely one of the BEST sitters that I've found on Rover. She is sweet, accommodating, and was really quick to respond to my messages. We've got an almost 4 years old, Goldendoodle and her name is Bella. She still has lots of energy and NEEDS playtime with her furry friends. Plus, I’m a firm believer in socializing her to different people. One of our regular sitters were on vacation , and the other one had an emergency to come up suddenly. So, I jumped on to Rover.com and was very fortunate to have found Teri. We live in Arcadia and we've got a pawnshop in Port Charlotte. We moved to Florida 4 years ago from Tennessee , and we still have family there. Well, I like to a Plan A, B and C for Bella's day camp and boarding options, just in case an emergency pops up or if we just want to have a date night then we have options for our girl 🧡 We will definitely recommend Teri to others and Bella will be returning soon, like on the next few days. Teri texted me updates and pictures throughout the day and she was very pleasant to text and talk with. She also teolf me that her husband really enjoy having Bella there as well. Bella loves to play with her furry friends a nd she usually steals the hearts of the sitters, too 🧡 And here's thec icing on the cake, Bella, came home and told me how wonderful her day was by smiling, wagging her tail and sleeping so peacefully last night and most of today as well. It is such a relief to know we have such wonderful options for our girl. We'll see Teri and Ken soon for more day camp and I feel very comfortable to leave Bella for boarding as well ❤️ That's such a huge relief 😊 Thank y'all so much for taking such good care of our girl, Bella!! We greatly appreciate it. They'll definitely be our go to for day camp and boarding for Bella ❤️🐶❤️”
“Olga was absolutely wonderful with Ruth and very accommodating to my unpredictable schedule at times. Ruth was newly adopted and had a couple issues, so I wanted to make her transition to her new life as easy as possible. Every time I picked her up, she was very happy and seemed to be coming out of her shell. I’m so grateful I found Olga on Rover and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Mike was great he took neno my brothers dog in and sent me the cutest pics of him and I was so happy that Mike had other dogs for him to play with definitely would book him again”
“Highly recommend Floyd and Connie! Very nice, friendly couple. They are great about sending pics/giving updates and it was very apparent that our Maxi had a great time. You can’t go wrong with entrusting your fur baby with them.”
“We were very happy with the care Cosmo received from Barbara. She welcomed him into their home and treated him like their own. She’s very friendly and easy to communicate with. I will be using her again when the need arises.”
“We used Eva for our 2 Frenchie's and she was wonderful! Since this was our first time using her I was a little nervous, but she put me right at ease. Since we have a newly rescued pup we had some concerns and made us feel at very comfortable when we dropped them off. The pictures and video's convinced us they were in good hands and having a wonderful time and allowed us to enjoy ourselves for the day and not worry about the fur babies.”
“Erin and Stephen were great and treated Scooby like their own baby. Great communication and always kept us up to date with video and pictures. Would use them again next time we're in the area.”
“Our pup, Hallie, loved staying with Lauren, Chris, and their dog, Winston. They are very warm and welcoming, not to mention very flexible, responsive, and accommodating. Winston is a sweet, playful dog that Hallie had a great time becoming friends with. We hope they will watch Hallie for us many times in the future and feel very comfortable and confident that she is being well taken care of when we are away from home.”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hattie. She sent pictures of her periodically during playtime and walks. I would highly recommend her for doggy daycare!”
“We were visiting the area for my son's golf tournament. When we arrived at our "pet-friendly" vacation rental home, we were told that the owner does not allow pets to be left alone in the home AT ALL. We were so flustered and worried we wouldn't be able to leave the house to watch our son. Luckily, Shelley made this terrible inconvenience manageable by allowing us to drop off our dog at her home for a few hours each day while we watched our son's tournament. Shelley was super responsive, even very late in the evening, and cared for our dog as if it were her own. I would absolutely recommend Shelley to anyone and will happily re-book when we are in the area. Thank you so much, Shelley!”

“Jennifer was great. Very sweet and gentle girl. First time for our 15 year old dog with a sitter. She kept the pictures and videos coming all day, putting our minds at ease. The location was nice and her home is immaculately clean. We were able to spend a very enjoyable whole day away from our rental.”
“Bryanna took wonderful care of Gilda, my 10 month old English Cocker Spaniel, for two days this week. Bryanna communicated extremely well. She provides secure indoor and outdoor space, and lots of play activities. After the first day, Gilda was extremely eager to return to Bryanna’s care for the second day. And, after the second day, Gilda was exhausted from 2 straight days of play and activities. I will book again with Bryanna, and recommend that you book with her too. Have fun in Punta Gorda, while knowing your precious fur baby is being well cared for by Bryanna.”
“Friendly and safe spot for your pup. Attentive and communicative hosts who send pics to keep you informed. Highly recommend; we're passing thru on a winter journey and would feel comfortable sending my fur pup there again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4:4)”
“Harleigh had the best day ever playing with the other doggies!!! We felt bad that we were running a little late to pick her up but Jeanne was so nice and accommodating and encouraged us to take our time. She sent us videos and pictures through out the day to see how much fun Harleigh was having. That really put our minds at ease.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Placida
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 451 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Placida. 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 Placida 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 451 sitters in Placida, 85% 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.
