“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!”
“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 💕”
“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!”
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.
“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: 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.
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“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 love fur babies! I believe God created them for us to love and enjoy them! We have to take good care of them! There are times we have to be away and need help with them! I know how it feels to leave my babies and have to trust someone to care for them and love them!!! I assure you I can do this for you! I can walk them, visit them or in most cases board them. I will take care of them like they are my own! I have a 5?year old goldendoodle. He weighs 61 lbs! I can handle your small babies or the big babies too! I look forward to taking care of your sweet babies while you are away!
About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have one dog, three cats (one senior with chronic illnesses/daily meds), four hermit crabs, one ball python, and 10 quail. In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.
“Cheryl was awesome! She came to the rescue when our last min vacation pet sitting plans fell through. Both of my Golden Retrievers seemed to enjoy their stay at her home. Even my problem child dog did well which says a lot. Thank you, Cheryl! I was nervous since this was my first time with Rover but if I am ever in the area again I would gladly contact you again.”
“My family and I where visiting destin and needed a quick sitter for my two chihuahua! Barbara was available and immediately responded and was able to help in such a short notice! Sent photos of my dogs and”
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.

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.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Shalimar on Rover is $29.96 per day (as of August 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 Shalimar 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 353 sitters in Shalimar, 89% 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.
