Marlene and Frank were amazing with my dog Coco! From the start, their home felt welcoming, clean, and full of space for the dogs to play — including their own playground. It was my first time booking with them, and they made me feel completely at ease by sending lots of photo updates showing how happy and well cared for he was. Their communication was great, and it was clear they truly love what they do. I’m so grateful to have found them and would absolutely recommend them! 💗🐾Marlene, Coco looks forward to seeing you again very soon!

I can’t say enough good things about Francesca! She took such great care of my dog, and it was clear from the start how much my dog loved being around her. She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and trustworthy. I also really appreciated how she kept me updated throughout the day with messages and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she truly cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with over 5 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m also very comfortable with dogs who aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of other dogs or people. My own dog is reactive, so I’m used to being patient, paying attention to body language, avoiding situations that may overwhelm a dog, and giving them the space they need. Because of this, I understand that every dog is different and that some pups need a little extra patience and care. I’ve mainly done dog walking and sitting in clients’ homes since I’m unable to board dogs at my own house due to my dog’s reactivity. I’m reliable, responsible, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE dogs and would be so excited to spend time with yours! 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student at FIU, but I have a pretty flexible class schedule. I have two classes on Monday and Wednesday, one class on Tuesday and Thursday, and no classes on Fridays or throughout the weekend. Because of this, I’m at my apartment often and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I also have my car here, so I am able to easily commute to different locations. I’m also a very active person and love going on walks, so taking a dog on longer walks is something I would genuinely enjoy. I live right near campus, and there is a grassy area directly below my apartment where people regularly take their dogs out, which makes quick potty breaks really convenient. I also have one roommate who loves dogs, so your pup would definitely be welcomed and cared for while they’re with me! I’m happy to work pet care into my schedule and make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and attention that I would give my own. I have a genuine passion for animals and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, especially because I have experience with dogs who may be nervous or reactive. If I ever have any concerns about a pet, I will communicate them to the owner right away. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive environment and make sure the dog is happy and well cared for.

About: Crecí rodeada de mascotas de todo tipo, por lo que desarrollé una conexión natural con los animales desde muy joven. Tengo experiencia cuidando tanto cachorros llenos de energía como perros mayores que requieren más paciencia, comodidad y atención a sus necesidades individuales. Respeto cuidadosamente los horarios de alimentación, paseos, descanso y cualquier rutina especial de cada mascota. Como paso gran parte del día en casa, puedo ofrecer supervisión cercana, compañía y mucho cariño. Mi objetivo es que cada perro se sienta seguro, cómodo, acompañado y verdaderamente como en casa durante su estadía. A typical day is tailored to your dog’s usual routine, personality, and needs. Since I am home full-time, I’m able to provide close supervision, companionship, frequent potty breaks, personalized playtime, walks, enrichment, and plenty of time to rest and relax. I intentionally care for only a small number of dogs at a time so each guest can receive individual attention and enjoy a calm, home-style environment. I do my best to keep feeding, potty, activity, and sleep routines as familiar as possible, helping every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home while their family is away. My home is clean, comfortable, and designed to help dogs feel safe and at ease in the 33172 area. One of its best features is the large, fully fenced backyard with a beautiful lake view, giving dogs plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. The front entrance is also gated, adding another layer of security. Guests can enjoy the open first floor and are welcome to relax comfortably on the couch or wherever they feel most at home. The surrounding area is great for peaceful walks, with plenty of interesting sights and smells along the way. Outdoor time and walks are adapted to each dog’s comfort level and behavior, so they can enjoy the environment safely and at their own pace. Because I intentionally care for only a small number of dogs at a time, I’m able to supervise closely and adapt each stay to your dog’s personality, routine, and needs.

I can’t thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of Chewbacca. He had the best time with your dog, they were like siblings! I could see how happy he was when I picked him up; he was beaming. It was clear he really bonded with you. Chewbacca had so much fun with his new friend that he came home completely tired, which is super rare since he’s usually very active at night. I’m so grateful, thank you for everything!

It was clear he felt comfortable and well cared for and he even made some new furry friends. Nayerlin was attentive and proactive the entire time, she kept sending videos and pictures of chewie which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate the love and attention she gave him.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Sweetwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sweetwater on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,173 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sweetwater. 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 Sweetwater 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 3,173 sitters in Sweetwater, 86% 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.
