“Anthony took great care of my pal Rowlf while I was in Miami for work. He went above and beyond with trips to the dog park and feeding him his special dinner every night. Rowlf was always excited to see him when I dropped him off. I'll definitely use Anthony again when we're back in Surfside!”

“Jonathan is a caring wonderful person to leave our very loved puppy. Jonathan is warm, safe communicative. We really appreciate the way he took care of our puppy. We would definitely feel comfortable with our puppy Havhav spending time again with Jonathan.”
“Great experience! Lourdes suggested a meet and greet by video chat prior to the visit just to ensure that all our inquiries were addressed so when we arrived, she was already familiar with my dog Lola and what my expectations were. She met them all and more! Highly recommend her! I couldn't find a sitter available in my immediate neighbourhood so it was a 20 minute drive, well worth the trip. Thank you Lourdes! Lola is already asking when she can come back!”
“Andres is awesome. He was the first "new person" (non-family/friend) to watch my rescue pup Dezi. And I never worried -- it is clear he has great instincts regarding what her needs/sensitivity. Eg. she was shy initially, preferring to sit on his couch quietly. On the walk, he let her guide the way. By the end of day, she was ready for belly rubs!! I'll use Andres again. Thanks for taking such good care of my sweet little girl!”
About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for my own dog from playful puppyhood to his golden senior years. I understand the special attention, patience, and gentle care that older dogs need, and I’m comfortable adapting walks and activities to match their pace and health. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a slow stroll, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m a college student studying Data Science, currently on summer break, which means I have a flexible schedule and am available all day for dog walks. Whether you need regular daily walks or occasional outings, I’m happy to help keep your dog active and happy whenever it suits you. Before our walks, I’ll ask you about your dog’s personality, any special needs, and specific requests to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. I prioritize keeping my eyes on your dog at all times during our walks, making sure they’re safe, secure, and happy every step of the way. 🐾
About: Pet boarding & house sitting services offered. I require transportation. I love animals. I really enjoy cats of all types, from cuddly to shy. I am very responsible when it comes to dogs, I will walk dogs based on their walk schedules. As of right now, I stay home most of the day while I seek full-time employment. I currently live with my mother, so having her around is an extra set of eyes on your pet. Neither of us are allergic to any animals. My daily routine is very flexible as of right now, I am just looking for a full-time job. I can walk dogs based on their schedules & have all the time in the world for a cat companion. I live in an apartment with a balcony & will not allow your pet on the balcony unless it is okay with you (the owner). Pets are family. Pet care fits perfectly throughout my daily & weekly routine. My schedule is very flexible while I search for full-time employment (I am searching for something that is related to sustainability). I mostly allow pets to roam around as they please, unless the owner requests a different style of caretaking. I stick to their schedules, ensuring that the temporary transition into my home is as enjoyable & stress-free as possible (most of my bookings happen to be boarding in my home, rather than in the owner's). I am always available to house-sit & watch your pet from the comfort of their own home, if that is a better fit for your pet.
“I previously requested Lioras dog walking service which was 5 stats, and now I'm glad to rate her 5 stars on day care in the sitters home. She's awesome and I feel grateful to have her as a caring and attentive person willing to look after him. Thank you!!!”

About: I have been responsible for the care of dogs and cats since childhood. I consistently derive pleasure from their companionship and engagement. Their presence contributes significantly to my professional satisfaction and personal well-being, as I consider them integral members of our family. Their safety and wellbeing is paramount for me.

About: I live in one of the most beautiful cities in Miami, the Village of Biscayne Park, neighboring Miami Shores and El Portal. I have loved & cared for dogs all my life from many of my own to friends & family pets as well. From puppies to senior care I have owned Great Danes, Sharpeis, Frenchies, Italian Greyhounds, Chihuahuas & many more. I always vibe well with dogs. I have the patience & experience on how to administer all type of medications, exercise, diets & special food. I work from home, which makes me available 24/7 -including holidays- and allows me to do dog boarding and day care. Therefore, you can be assured your pet will get all my love, attention as well as lots of play time. Our pets have access to the whole inside of the house in a very comfortable environment. I also have a fence-secured backyard, where they’re free to roam around with supervision at all times. I normally will let our dogs out in the yard about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I live one block away from our city recreational park for those nice long walks. 🐾🐶🦮🐕🦺.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have been vegan since 2018 because I believe in respecting and protecting all animals. I currently care for three rescued Shih Tzus who have been part of my life for over 10 years they are truly like my children. This is not just pet care for me, it is a way of life. I have over 10 years of real experience living daily with dogs, understanding their needs, emotions, and routines. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to the park, and even to the beach when possible, always making sure they feel safe, active, and loved. My approach is simple: treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide calm, responsible, and attentive care in a safe environment. If you are looking for someone who truly loves animals and doesn’t see this as just a job, I would be happy to take care of your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work remotely Monday through Friday, with only one in-office day per week for about three hours. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the dogs I care for during the week. I already have three rescued Shih Tzus, so caring for dogs is a normal and essential part of my everyday life. My routine is built around their needs morning walks, regular potty breaks, play time, and a calm, structured environment throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time during weekdays, I can provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never an “extra task” in my day they are part of my lifestyle. On Saturdays, I am fully available and can dedicate more time for boarding, walks, and extended care. Sundays are my day off since I work on-site and am not available. I’m used to balancing work and pet care in a way that ensures every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I live in a secure, pet-friendly luxury apartment in Miami, just steps from the beach and some of the city’s most beautiful parks. The environment is calm, clean, and fully suitable for dogs, providing a safe and comfortable space at all times. In addition, I have access to a private home outside Miami with a garden and pool, which I occasionally use for extended outdoor time and enrichment activities, depending on scheduling and suitability. As a dog owner myself with three rescued Shih Tzus, my entire lifestyle is built around structure, safety, and high-quality care. Every space I use is fully adapted to ensure a secure, supervised, and stress-free environment for dogs. My priority is to provide a refined, attentive, and trustworthy care experience where dogs feel relaxed, safe, and genuinely at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Surfside
Alex was great with Thor! He was patient, caring, and made Thor feel comfortable right away. You could tell he genuinely enjoys being around dogs, and Thor was so excited to see him which made me feel even better leaving him in Alex’s care. He was also super communicative and reliable throughout everything. Definitely recommend him!
Charuwan took the absolute BEST care of my Dubu. From the moment we arrived, Dubu instantly felt comfortable and walked right into her house like she’d been there before. Charuwan has such warm, calm, and loving energy — and I truly believe Dubu felt that too. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos of all their little adventures, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares. When we came to pick Dubu up, she didn’t even want to leave! That alone says everything. We were also a little late picking her up, and Charuwan was incredibly kind and understanding about it. I’m so grateful we found her and will absolutely be booking again 🤍🐶
Gustavo and Ales were incredible. Our dog Micah came along on her trip to Miami and spent about a week staying with them. He came home tired and happy each day. Ales was always flexible, even when we had to change days and times, definitely more than most sitters would have been. Always so friendly and communicative - would highly recommend them to anyone. Will definitely use them again when we come next time!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Surfside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Surfside on Rover is $40.25 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,694 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Surfside. 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 Surfside 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.

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.
