Anne was an excellent day care sitter for Teddy. She used facetime for our meet and great. She asked all the right questions to understand Teddy's needs. She made her home very inviting for Teddy to have an enjoyable stay. She was good about sending updates and pictures for our comfort. She even gave good suggestions on food and other experiences. We recommend her and will request her again.

So grateful for Ray and Randy! They were able to take our Ollie for a few hours today so that we could enjoy Easter dinner with at my very allergic brother's house. Ollie slept there which meant he felt comfortable. Ray and Randy were so calm and gentle with him. Highly recommend them and will definitely book again. Thank you!!!!

I had a great experience with this sitter! They took such good care of my puppy Bear, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. Bear is still young and full of energy, but they were very patient, attentive, and made sure he got plenty of care and attention. They also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Bear up, he was happy and relaxed, which showed me he had a great time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again for Bear! 🐾

Carrie and her husband Mike did a great job taking care of Peaches for an afternoon while we were on vacation in the area. She got plenty of attention and exercise too. They have no pets of their own at present so are a great choice if you want your fur-baby to have 1:1 attention.

Carol and Butch were amazing, and such a perfect match for our little Squirt. This was my first time using Rover, and they made it such a great experience. They took such great care of my little man and put my mind at ease with pupdates. Hope they’ll be available for us next year! Thank you so so much, Carol and Butch!

Kelli was awesome! We needed a last minute cat sitter as we found out we were having some work done to our apartment, and she opened our kitty with open arms! Also super welcoming and is more than happy to show you where your pet will be staying. Also kept us updated throughout the day! Will definitely request her again when we need a cat sitter! Thanks so much Kelli.

I had to go down to Carson City last minute and couldn’t find a sitter. Kari was incredibly sweet and I’m thankful she could take my pup at last minute request. She took him to the nearby grass area and sent pictures and videos of him playing. He seemed to be having a great time and was tired when we picked him up to take him home. She had plenty of toys for him to rummage through, as well. I highly reccomend Kari to anyone.

About: Hi! I’m Marianna, a lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats. Animals are truly part of my family. I share my home with my amazing Golden Lab, Phoebe, who is incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and adventurous — she goes paddle boarding, loves the water, and is even a diver! Phoebe is a Theraphy dog . She is a calm, confident, and friendly role model for other dogs. We also have two wonderful cats: Pharaoh (Abyssinian) and Phoenix (Scottish Fold). They are very social, affectionate, and used to being around dogs, so our home is a peaceful, happy, and interactive environment for all pets. I’m certified in Pet First Aid & CPR for both cats and dogs, so your pet’s safety is always a top priority. In addition to loving care, I also offer support with behavioral training and confidence building. I’ve personally trained my own 2.5-year-old pup to a very high level of obedience, and I enjoy helping other dogs feel calm, safe, and well-mannered. Our home features a fenced yard, a swimming pool (with supervision), and plenty of space to play, rest, and relax in a loving, low-stress environment. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, swim, or simply nap in the sun, they will feel right at home here. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I would be honored to care for your furry family while you’re away 🐶🐱💛 Ps . For safety, any signs of prey drive toward cats (staring, lunging, chasing) will result in immediate separation or early pick-up. That’s why Meet and Greet is a MUST for me. I keep a flexible schedule so your pet receives calm, unhurried attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends, and I intentionally limit how many pets I take (1-2 great pets at a time ONLY) to ensure each one feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. Dogs are always monitored, kept on routine, and can be crated if needed. I follow owner instructions closely, prioritize cleanliness, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Venice Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Venice Gardens on Rover is $33.3 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 603 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Venice Gardens. 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 Venice Gardens 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 603 sitters in Venice Gardens, 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.
