About: I have a friendly dog that always wants a new friend. I have plenty of time to be able to spend time with your fur baby to ensure they feel welcomed and at home. **hablo español tambien** I currently work from home. I can be here for your fur baby all day and night the same way that I already am for my fur child. Your dog’s well-being is my #1 priority. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pup can feel secure and cared for—whether it’s for a short visit or an extended stay. Safety First: I carefully follow all instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, leash use, crate routines, and more. I only use your leashes or secure, well-maintained leashes, harnesses, and gates to ensure your dog stays safe at all times—indoors and outdoors. I supervise all playtime (especially with toys or other dogs) to prevent any accidents or overstimulation. Trust & Communication: I treat your pet like one of my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'm reliable, punctual, and committed to maintaining your dog's regular routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. A Calm, Clean & Comfortable Space: Whether I’m staying in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I create a peaceful environment with cozy resting areas, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I take cleanliness seriously and always make sure the space is tidy, sanitized, and safe for all pets. Your dog will have plenty of love, attention, and the space to relax, play, and just be themselves. Let me take care of your dog with the same love and attention you would give them yourself—so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

She was the first Dogsitter we’ve had since our pup is terrified of everyone and everything but she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed about everything!”
“We’ve had Rebecca watch my girl every week for the past month or so, and she has been the absolute best! She always makes sure Rani has ample time to play and have so much fun! It’s nice not having to worry about how she’s doing while I’m at the office ☺️”

“Glad to have our first experience with Rover with them. They sent me updates and were really understanding that my dog is not yet fully house trained. Sherlock was worn out when we took him back, probably from playing with the other dogs at their home. Our dog was evidently happy with his stay. We are very satisfied!”
“Kimberly and her husband are so sweet and treated my two labs like their own babies. We did a meet n greet so my girls could meet their pet pig. It all went well and so they stayed two days. They have a doggy door so my girls could come and go. They have a huge, wonderful fenced in yard. A very safe place for them to play. I highly recommend Kimberly to care for your fur babies.”

“Iyorima was amazing! Jin loved her and got used to her fairly quickly. I get paranoid pretty easily and she understood and sent me photos and text messages about Jin to calm me down. Jin was a happy boy when he was there and that’s all I care about.”
“We dropped Ginger off while passing through town for a few hours while we made some stops. Ginger was at ease right away and happy when we picked her up. Thanks Hillary!?”

“I couldnt be happier I chose Sarah to watch my puppy. My dog loves going to her so much he gets excited when we pull in the driveway. When I pick him up I can tell he was well attended to and played a lot. She has also helped me potty train him and he started waiting by the door for the first time when he needed to go potty. I’m so relieved to have someone I can count on to take care of my pup. :))”

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 .

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 Thonotosassa 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 2,496 sitters in Thonotosassa, 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.
