“My dog, Harlan, is a rescue we've had for a year. We recently had an event at our house that included over 30 adults and children who he has never met. I decided a pet sitter. Was a good option. Harlan was very nervous when we got to Christopher's house., but Christopher gained his trust quickly. A feat still not accomplished by friends Harlan knows well. Would definitely recommend.”
“Honestly, the most amazing pet sitters ever! I’ve used them many times now, and every single experience has been incredible. They always go above and beyond, even accepting my last-minute booking requests whenever they can. They send frequent updates and lots of pictures, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing my baby is safe, happy, and well cared for. He absolutely loves staying with them, and I never have to worry while I’m away. It’s such a relief to have people I completely trust to care for my dog. I couldn’t recommend them more, and they’ll always be my first choice for pet sitting!”
“Haley was awesome..... she was ready and waiting for me when I dropped off the dogs and picked them up. She gave me all kinds of feedback on the dogs and it looks like they got PLENTY of exercise... the pictures and videos were great! My dogs are going back to her this evening and through the weekend and I'm very they will be with someone that I trust and know she will take care of my pups.”
“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 ☺️”
“Marisol was amazing! Was able to accommodate a last-minute booking which really helped me out. She was very helpful and thoughtful, sent pictures and updates and was very responsive in communication. I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and currently help care for three dogs at my family home. I also have hands-on experience fostering rescue dogs, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs.

I also have CNA healthcare experience, which has strengthened my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety and comfort. I currently live in a pet-free home, which allows me to board dogs in a calm environment without other animals getting in the way. With a flexible schedule and 24+ hours’ notice, I’m able to accommodate a range of pet care requests including boarding, sitting, and drop-ins. I prioritize reliability, communication, and creating a calm, consistent experience for every pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and attentive care in every booking.

“Bailey enjoyed her stay with Tabitha. Tabitha accepted a last minute request, was pleasant, friendly, and helpful. She was very accommodating with our request for a late evening pickup. We were 15 minutes later than expected and she was fine with it. She has an amazing huge property that is secluded. She has two fenced areas available for outdoor time. I would bring my dog to Tabitha again and would recommend her. Thanks!”
About: I grew up with dogs at home so it’s a thing and I can train puppies. Hope I can watch your pets and train your little pups too 😁 I’m currently working from home and Just looking for a few extra bucks all while working on my business plans. I’m excited to sit your fur baby 😁 I have a porch your fur babies can go outside on or they just roam around the house. I don’t mind 😊 I also have room if you’d like your fur baby in a crate ☺️
“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.”
“Accepted my girls last minute which is a blessing. I’m a truck driver and when my girls are with me and we have some downtime I like to get them off the truck for some fun a flexible and reliable sitter is paramount”
“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!?”
“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.”
“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!”
“Carley is simply the best. The way she treats my little dog like her own really warms my heart and gives me so much peace. She attends to the dogs all day long and is very vigilant. I’m happy to have found someone I can count on ❤️”

About: My last pet was a blue nose pit, his name was Apollo. We got him when he was only 8 weeks old. I trained him and loved him dearly. He was such a big part of our family, He was a beautifulI soul! As he got older, even though it was hard to see his aging, I was grateful to be part of the process and be able to help him when times were rough. He left me with a void and a lot of love to give. I’m not quite ready for my own yet, but I would love to share my love and time with your fur baby. I have a pretty flexible schedule I work from home. My hours are 8 to 5. I take frequent breaks and I go on walks frequently. I’m a workout nut so I love to get outside and enjoy the day. I try to make sure that schedules are followed as well as incorporating activities when time permits I feel it’s very important for exercise. I always try to make sure that my visitors are comfortable and happy

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Thonotosassa on Rover is $31.08 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 .

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 2,509 sitters in Thonotosassa, 85% 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.
