“Heather is absolutely GREAT with dogs, having 4 of her own! She welcomes them with warm love and is so caring and attentive with each one. Gracie had a wonderful first time experience and will definitely be back as we have already booked a few more dates with Heather. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and I’ve cared for dogs from puppies to seniors. I’m very comfortable with all sizes and temperaments. I’m calm, reliable, and focused on safety, exercise, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I am currently available anytime of the day and any day of the week. I can come as early or as late as you need! I do live in an apartment but plenty of room to walk them here. I will accommodate them however you ask , I treat them like babies.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 25 years. I have fostered and adopted special needs dogs. I would be honored to care for your fur babies too. I work full time at home. I would love to have one dog for daycare in my home with my other two. I also can do a drop in locally morning noon and evening most days. I do not have a fenced yard. I will take your dog out on a leash when just going out in the back. My two dogs are off leash and respond to verbal commands. We will go on a couple short walks during the day. Fresh water abailable all day and your pups dietary directions will be followed.
“Debra is just amazing!! I was so nervous to leave my pup for the first time and she did everything to ease my mind. I will for sure be brining Ellie Mae back for the day! Thank you Debra!!”
“Lana took exceptional care of Oliver. Her home is very clean and perfectly comfortable for a pup to play, rest, and visit with Lana's 3 year old. (Who was very sweet to Ollie) The surrounding neiborhood is very nice and full of green space for picturesque walks. Lana is a wonderful communicator and a talented photographer, she took an awesome picture of Oliver which my husband promptly made his profile picture. In my opinion anyone would be lucky to have Lana babysit their pet.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. Growing up, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors trusted to pet sit, and that’s continued into adulthood. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands on experience caring for multiple dogs, understanding different temperaments, and maintaining a safe, structured environment. I have experience with large breeds and am comfortable handling big dogs, as well as administering medication when needed. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Because I build pet care into my daily routine, I’m able to stay attentive, stick to your pet’s schedule, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a calm, structured home environment and intentionally care for only up to two families at a time, allowing every dog to receive plenty of individual attention, love, and care. I offer complimentary meet and greets before every boarding stay so we can get to know each other, discuss your pup’s routine, and make sure we’re the perfect fit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. Your pup will enjoy supervised playtime in my spacious backyard, walks, enrichment, plenty of love and attention, and a calm home environment. If they get muddy or messy during their stay, I’m happy to give them a bath with your permission. I provide a clean XL crate and cozy dog bed for dogs that are comfortable using one, but I understand every dog has a different routine. If your pup normally sleeps in bed and you’re comfortable with it, they’re welcome to snuggle up with me at night. My goal is to make every guest feel as safe, loved, and at home as possible. You’ll receive photo updates throughout the day, plus a bedtime photo each evening so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and well cared for. If I ever notice anything out of the ordinary, I’ll contact you right away.
About: Hi there, and thanks for stopping by! I’m so excited at the chance to care for your furry family member! A quick note up front: if your pup isn’t potty trained, I do ask for pee pads and a crate during their stay, and at this time I’m unable to accommodate puppies—thank you so much for understanding! I also kindly ask that your pup comes to me clean so everyone stays fresh and comfortable during their visit. I recently transitioned out of the military and am now a student working from home. That means I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have had several pets of my own. I’m a big supporter of fostering and adopting dogs from shelters, and I care for every pup as if they were my own—lots of patience, love, and plenty of cuddles included!
“Thank you Samantha and family for welcoming our 4-month-old puppy, Chewy, into your home! He was happy, well cared for, and came home tired from lots of playtime. We really appreciated the updates and feel so comfortable leaving him in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: I've been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for years, and I truly love getting to know each dog's unique needs. Whether an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing a slower pace, or a shy pup who needs a little extra patience, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I offer boarding in my home. I work remotely, so your pup will be treated with plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience providing drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love while you're away. I currently work from home so your fur baby will receive lots of attention. This also allows for more flexibility with your selected pick up and drop off times. I allow the dogs on couches and beds. (Unless you request otherwise). I have one very friendly 10 yr old dog. He is sweet, calm, and gentle.
“AJ has been wonderful with our dog Josie! He has been so patient and kind with her and let her go at her own pace. She has had several visits and is getting more comfortable each time. AJ, Trish, and Goose are tremendous hosts. AJ is the bomb! I strongly recommend him and his family for doggie daycare.”
“Adam and Sarah treated my dog indy like family. He was so well cared for . He loved their dogs and little girl too. They both went out of their way by picking up and dropping off our sweet dog. I couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Kenneth is extremely considerate and caring. I know my normally cautious Franklin likes him because he’s excited to be at Kenneth’s house. His two kids are equally respectful, fun and loving to my dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 10 years old, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I also have care experience with saltwater fish tanks, reptiles, rodents, poultry and more! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own. I share my home with cats, bunnies, and multiple saltwater aquariums! so I truly understand how important it is to give each animal personalized attention, patience, and affection. I’m also pursuing a career as a vet tech, which gives me extra knowledge and care skills that I bring to every pet I meet. I’m an active volunteer at the Humane society in Tampa and The Mercyful Project in St. Pete where I participate in a program called “doggy day out” where you take a shelter dog out for the day and give them a memorable experience! I decided to leave corporate America to pursue more animal time! I’m currently working part-time for my boyfriend while also going to school, so I have plenty of flexibility to devote to your pets. I’m available on weekends and weekdays for walks, drop-ins, in home sitting :) Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I can easily crate your pup if needed, and I always maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment. With years of hands-on experience and a true passion for animals, I’ll make sure your pets feel cared for and loved like part of the family.
“My dogs had a great time at Teresa’s home! I have a coonhound mix who has more energy and she was great with her. We will use Teresa again for daycare services and would recommend her.”
About: Hi I’m Josh. I recently moved to Tampa from California. I have a one year old golden doodle and before I had two dogs of my own for 15 years that just recently passed away. I was in the Air Force for 8 years and now I work in advertising sales. I am very active and I love being in the outdoors. I love taking dogs on walks. I am very relaxed and have no problem allowing your furry friend to be on the furniture or to sleep in bed with me. I work from home, so your pet will always have company . I am the only one in the house so I will make sure to give your animal tons of love. I work from home so your pet will have constant love and care. I provide constant care and walks throughout the day. I have a nice dog park in my complex. I provide constant affection and take them on walks throughout the day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood Lakes
Our pup received the warmest welcome at our meet and greet. Laura definitely has a knack with fur babies and it is easy to tell she has years of experience with them. We looked forward to scheduling a daycare date. Thankfully, she was available during the time of my Mom's visit which enabled the two of us to enjoy our day of shopping. (Mom is fussy with her granddog and fully approved of Laura's care admiring the way she looked after him.) We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Laura and her family. We appreciated the photos throughout the day (adored the ones with belly rubs from her sons) and up-to-date communications. Thank you, Laura.

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 Westwood Lakes 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 2,536 sitters in Westwood Lakes, 84% 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.
