“***** that's 5 more to make 10. Charli and her family-the human and furry kind-far exceeded my expectations! Several videos and updates. She worked hard to help my somewhat new rescue come out of her shell...and was beyond successful! She speaks our language! By the time I got back after 8hrs, Athena was conflicted about whether she wanted to stay or go. She has a gift to be cherished! Thank you!”
“Dennis has been great with my 3 month old Chocolate lab puppy. Romeo really seems to enjoy being with him. I greatly appreciate his patience when deal with a puppy and flexibility to accommodate my change in schedule as an educator. Thank so very much.”
“Saira was great with our elderly dog and she provided us with regular updates and photos. We are so grateful to find a good sitter on the spur of the moment when the dog was too anxious to be left alone in our hotel room.”
“Alexus was amazing and took great care of Dexter! She was super flexible with the pickup time too. Would definitely recommend her services (and use them again if she’d like to have Dexter). Thank you so much!!”
“Miss Bee had a great doggy day care with Krista B! Krista sent pics and updates of BeeBee hanging out on the sofa and cooling off in the pool. Thank you, Krista - we're looking forward to our next stay with you.”
About: I've had animals all my life. Dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs! I have always been an animal lover! Currently my husband and I have 2 toy poodles-Teddy and Tucker-both turning 10 this year (2025). I was a stay at home mom to my two children, my son who almost 20-he's off at college and my daughter who is 28 and married. So now I'm officially a stay at home dog mom to Teddy and Tucker. We own our home, we have a fenced in yard and our two sweet pups would love to play with your little one. I'm a non smoker, almost never drink and taking care of the pups is what I love to do.
About: Update! June 4th, to all my regular clients, I have officially moved into our new place in Tavares and my address has been updated on my profile as well so when you book your stay, it will direct you to our new address. Thank you guys so much for constantly booking with me it means so much to our family! We absolutely love your pets! Here's some info about me to anyone who hasn't booked with before☺️ 🩷I always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’m a stay at home mom so I will be home the whole time with your fur babies! We typically get up around 6am so for your pups who are used to early morning potty breaks we got you covered! We live in a house with a fenced in backyard so plenty of space for your pups to run around! I have 3 kids also who love animals and will keep them very entertained as well!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs all my life. I’ve volunteered at the Lake County Animal Shelter before. I am patient and loving with animals. I’m currently available and flexible with my schedule. Call me or text me for any additional details regarding scheduling. Looking forward to working with you. I don’t currently have pets. So I can give all my attention to your furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard so leashes are required.
“Marley had a wonderful snowy day with Kaitilin! Im so thankful he had such a nice relaxing day. I enjoyed recieving pictures and updates during the day! We look forward to the next time he comes to visit!”
About: We come from a loving pet family and love meeting new ones. My name is Mike, my wife is Ruby, and our son Lincoln, who is now in the Navy. We treat our two dogs like children. There are toys all over the house to play with and whenever they are tired they lay on our recliners or couch to sleep. We are able to follow any schedule and can provide medication if needed. Your loved ones will be treated like family ❤️ I will provide hands on care such as playing, walking or anything extra required. There will always be either myself or my wife at home. I work during the week days but my wife Ruby is home during the day. During the weekends we both are home. We have a fenced in yard and a park near by that we can walk to. Our two male dogs are neutered and we will only care for one family's pet(s) at a time.
About: I’m Brooke! Lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. For me, it’s their stay, their way! They lead me on their walks, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course. I might even bring them along for a beach trip and can make some new friends! Pet stores are a given. Starbucks pup cups are a given. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet y'all and let’s play fetch! I’ll even give them a bath if you want! Just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin! 🐶 I’m currently a Paralegal remote, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and attend to them! ❤️ Some call me the dog whisperer but I credit my dog attraction success by understanding that “it’s the dogs world and I’m just living in it”. Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly house with a fenced in yard. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them in the tub. If they need certain medications, I can do so. I am also known to make cute treat dog baskets. They’ll be spoiled by me! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply providing companionship and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. I also make time to send updates and photos to pet parents so they can feel connected and reassured while they’re away. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an active adult pet, or a senior companion who needs extra patience and care, I am committed to making sure every pet receives the attention, love, and individualized care they deserve. My goal is to help pets feel relaxed and at home while giving owners peace of mind. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I take the time to learn their individual needs, personality, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I know that many pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I work to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I ensure they have plenty of attention, supervised playtime, exercise, comfortable resting areas, and constant access to fresh water. I closely monitor pets for any signs of stress or discomfort and adjust care to meet their needs. No matter where I am caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their furry family member is receiving loving, dependable care every day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tavares
Our dogs had a great time spent with Rowan and Ashley and were nice and tired out when they got home! It was very comforting how responsive and communicative they were with us prior to our pups coming and during their visit. The pictures and videos they shared made us feel great that our dogs were in good hands and we look forward to our dogs having a longer stay with them in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Tavares on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of June 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 Tavares 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 1,482 sitters in Tavares, 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.
