“Jorge’s service was great. My pets spent the day with him and were returned to me well. I received pictures and he was responsive to my check texts. His property is welcoming and so was he. I would recommend his services to anyone looking in this area.”
“We’re so grateful to have found such an amazing and reliable dogsitter! Ms Pat treats our dog like her own, and it shows—Poppy absolutely adores her and is always so excited to see her. We work a lot so it gives us total peace of mind knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful family. Our Turtle was spoiled with their love and attention (they even brushed her out and made her a wonderful fluff ball. We will hope Turtle can visit her new friends again.”
“Debra did an amazing job watching my little girl Nina. She’s very easy to setup with. She has other great dogs she watches over which gives my dog plenty of play time and socialization. Would highly recommend Debra who clearly loves animals.”
About: We adopted our first pups in 2004 and cared for them for 18 pup-snuggled years. During that time, and since then, we have rescued, fostered and adopted animals of all kinds to include chickens, ducks and a pig named Kevin Bacon! Currently, we're home to Guinevere, the mild-mannered, 6 year-old rescued mutt. We do have an 11-year-old hooman "puppy" who is just as loving and respectful of animals as we are. We will love and care for your fur-babies as if they were our very own. We are home almost all day, every day, so your pet will never be alone. I homeschool our son, and my husband works from home. Your pet will have ample opportunities to play outside in our 1/2 acre back yard. Our neighborhood is very quiet with houses situated on ~acre lots. We have neighbors with dogs, but they usually just run over to the fence to say hello and then go about their business. In our home, your fur-babies can roam freely, and they will have access to our 1/2, partially shaded, completely fenced-in back yard as often as they need. If your dog is one who prefers walks, our peaceful neighborhood has lots of places to explore; there is a nice park 1/2 mile away where they can sniff around where all of the turtles and ducks like to hang out. Pups who stay with us overnight are welcome to stay in their crate (if that's what they prefer), anywhere in the house, and, likely, on one of our beds.
About: I am an animal lover! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am not here for the money but for your babies to have a great experience while you are away. Have had dogs and cats for most of my adulthood. After my last furbaby passed, I decided instead of getting another one, I would share my love with other people's fur babies. I would love to take care of your 4-legged family members and treat your babies as my own. My love and care are endless. I can stay and play with your beloved furbabies all day 7 days a week. Since I work from home, your cat/dog is guaranteed to have companionship around the clock, and I believe dogs and cats are happiest when humans accompany them and show them affection, and play with them. I do prefer your child/dog/cat to come with his/her own food because it's one less thing for them to adjust. I do however have treats and dog food if needed. I will adhere to your instructions to administer food and/or medicine. I work from home currently. So I should be around your fur babies 24/7 except for grocery or eating out when pets are boarding with me or house-sitting for you. I go to Church on Sunday mornings if the stay goes on Sunday. If you need me to drop in at your place or walk your dog, they can be arranged multiple times a day. I don't have pets or children so no worries about your fur friend fitting in. I will attend to your furball without distractions since I only take a single furbaby each time. I live next to a man-made lake, so I don't have a fenced-in yard, I always walk dogs around our neighboring park. So, no accidents should ever happen in this household indoors or outdoors. If I care for your babies at your place, I always respect your property and leave the house in great shape.

“My goodness. We needed day care for our two pups and, boy, were we pleased with Alexander and Dorys. They were not only communicative, friendly, obvious dog lovers, but took such great care of our boys. It was quite clear they were interacting with our pups, the entire day! We look forward to using them, again. (Especially since the boys can't stop talking about all the fun they had.) We are very grateful.”

“I’d definitely book him again and would recommend him to anyone using Rover who wants someone trustworthy and attentive for their pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Melbourne
Jorge and Osvaldo were absolutely amazing with Izzy! They treated her like she was one of their own and kept me updated throughout her stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. Izzy was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. It’s obvious they genuinely love dogs and take pride in providing a safe, welcoming environment. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would trust them with Izzy again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Brian (Lee & Pearl) were very welcoming from the start with our meet and greet. Beauty was very well cared for during my family get away. I was kept informed daily on her progress. I highly recommend Brian and his outstanding service. My dog is my baby. I will only leave her with people I just whole heartedly. Thank you again for loving my girl.
I’d definitely book him again and would recommend him to anyone using Rover who wants someone trustworthy and attentive for their pet.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - West Melbourne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in West Melbourne on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 388 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across West Melbourne. 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 West Melbourne 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 388 sitters in West Melbourne, 87% 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.
