“Lisa has been great to work with. She's been absolutely gentle with our giant and very communicative with the progress of his visits. Looking forward to having both her Dakota sit for us.”
“Stephanie was amazing with my sweet Sadie, she updated constantly throughout the day and sent me the most adorable pictures of my girl. She is quick to respond and she understands how much I love and care for my dog. Sadie had a blast with Stephanie, and I had true peace of mind knowing she was well taken care of while I worked. For reference Sadie had to have surgery and now needs supervision so she doesn’t mess up her surgery, which is exactly the care that Stephanie provided to my sweet girl. I will gladly be leaving Sadie with Stephanie and her family in the future!”

“Bryanna was great! First time leaving my 2 dogs with her. We received so many pics which really helps put us at ease. Also very responsive and quick to answer. It was evident my dogs were in a safe and comfortable environment. They were nice and calm upon picking them up.”
“Davis was amazing! He was ready to go when I arrived and made sure to keep me updated as he was watching him. Was flexible with timing and overall an pleasure to work with! Highly recommend Davis!”
“As a dog mom, we get very nervous about leaving our doggy babies. Today, I was fortunate to meet Xavier and his mom and they were a joy. Milo was a little timid at first but once he saw Xavier’s mom he was mushy. They kept me updated with pictures and communication was great. I’m very happy with the service we received and comfortable with letting Milo stay with them again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Most recently, I cared for my own dogs: a Boxer named Rosa and a Pitbull named Gypsy, both of whom taught me so much about loyalty, energy management, and attentive care. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs of all sizes, from small pups to medium and large breeds which made me organically gravitate towards doing this professionally. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and needs. I've been doing this for a couple of years now ( since the passing of my dog) and loving it! While I have less hands, on experience with cats, I love animals overall and am always patient, respectful, and eager to learn what makes your pet feel safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure, loved, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life, so it’s already built into how I plan my days and weeks. I’m consistent with routines and flexible when pets need extra care or attention I care for pets as if they were my own, keeping to their routines and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My focus is always on comfort, safety, and helping them feel relaxed in their space
“She is amazing!!!! She was very accommodated and understanding with my puppies. She spoiled them a lot and took plenty of pictures and send to me during the day. I recommend her with my eyes close and definitely will use her service again thank you so much.”
“Natasha is fantastic! She watches my sweet Maisie girl 4 times a week for doggy day care. This was our first week with Natasha and my puppy was all smiles and tired after spending the days playing with her family and their own pup, Dolly. She is very reliable and professional and took great care of Maisie! We already rescheduled for next weeks doggy day care!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sunshine Acres on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 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 Sunshine Acres 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 3,747 sitters in Sunshine Acres, 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.
