About: Hi my name is Carole. I had a petsitting business many years ago when I realized how difficult it was asking friends to take care of my menagerie all the time. Loved loved loved petsitting and all the interesting pets (and their owners) I met over the years. I recently retired and thought PERFECT this is what I want to do again! I currently have three dogs and a cat. But in the past I’ve had every animal you could think of…Potbelly pigs, sugar gliders, hedgehogs, Caiman gator, chameleons, goats, turkeys, ducks… I love animals! I have been involved with dog shows over the past 40 years ( do not currently show at all). Did mostly obedience and agility. And was very involved with our breed rescue group. Let your pet stay home with loving and compassionate care for your pet in the comfort of a familiar and safe environment. I am available anytime, as I said I am retired 😊 and home all the time. And able to travel… have a place out of state you need pets and home looked after? For boarding in my home…I have two separate fenced yard’s. A total of about a half an acre. Very secure and landscaped. The big yard has gardens and a ditch that dogs love to sniff around. And a small yard in case your dog doesn’t want to be around my dogs 😊. I also have a doggie door that goes out to a fenced in small area. I have three medium size dogs that are extremely mellow couch potatoes and get along with all dogs! For overnight stays or drop in visits in your home… Again I will try to keep them on their regular schedule and work with you for whatever you need for your pet!
“Cooper loves Carrie! And she loves him. He’s tired when he comes home, so I’m so happy he gets to play with his friends. Thank you for all the photos during the day, so I can see my boy having fun with the others.”
“Super thrilled at the amount of care Stephanie gave my Shepard/husky mix! Plenty of playtime and walks that my boy was thoroughly tired when he got home. She covered any concerns I had left with her and ensured he got the care needed”
“Oskar had a great time at doggy daycare. He was well cared for and came home happy! Amanda responded quick whenever I texted and shared some cute pics of my puppy during his stay. She’s very sweet and clearly loves animals and takes great care of them. I would definitely recommend her to watch you pup.”
About: I have had pets my entire life in one way or another. While currently we do not have any pets, due to the passing of 3 dogs within a year due to age, we miss having animals around and in our home. I currently am working full time from home so have plenty of time to play/walk any animals. I have 3 children who are lovers of animals and love spoiling them. I offer boarding 24/7 due to my working from home that allows me that flexibility. Me and my children live in a townhome that does not have a yard, but there is plenty of room in the neighborhood for walks around. I can crate animals if preferred as well.
About: I've loved dogs and cared for them all my life. I have a special place in my heart for the scent hound breeds! I understand what dogs need to be comfortable and thrive, and I am honored that you put trust in me to take care of your four-legged family members. I'll spoil your babies as I do my own. I have three dogs of my own that are very well spoiled and cared for. I do not have human children, so I can focus my efforts on your baby. Pets are family members in my home. They have free reign to rest where they choose while they are here. I love pets and cuddles! Dogs are not crated unless requested or absolutely necessary or directed. I feed in separate rooms to avoid possessive behaviors, and dogs are always monitored and supervised while playing together. I take directions very well and will make sure to care for your babies just as you would if you were here with them.

“Our pup Barney is so anxious. With Kathy, He was greeted with the same love that I give him so he seemed immediately comfortable! Through the day, we got pictures of him playing with another dog, at the dog park, and making himself comfortable on the couch. By the time we picked him up, he seemed totally normal/relaxed (unique for him after being away!!) and then he slept the rest of the afternoon. We’re SO GRATEFUL Kathy and her hubbo took such good care of our pup and can’t wait for them to do so in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 424 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Tampa. 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 Tampa 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 CO 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 424 sitters in Tampa, 90% 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.
