“Jenn helped us as we traveled to Tampa for the weekend with our dog and need last minute dog day care with late hours. My husband and I were most appreciative of the service she povided and the interaction Winter was able to have with the othe dogs. Thank you again, Jenn!”
“Melinda was truly amazing! I needed a last minute pet sitter and she responded quick. She was incredibly kind and flexible. She shared photo updates of my pup throughout the day, and he looked like he was having a great time, it was awesome he got to interact with other friendly dogs too. I felt comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly highly recommend Melinda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I treat every pet like my own. I have experience with puppies who need patience and basic training, as well as senior pets who need extra care and attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe and comfortable. IG:thepetnanyy Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent attention and care throughout the day and week. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in a client’s home. This includes feeding on schedule, walks or playtime, cleaning up after them, and giving lots of attention. I also make sure their space is safe, clean, and comfortable, and I keep owners updated so they feel at ease while they’re away.
“My little fur baby has found her second family! A hurricane was coming through and she was so accommodating to the emergency change to my work schedule. We look forward to our next visit. FYI, our little London thought she was headed to Melina's house this morning for doggy daycare.”
About: I care for my own dog every day and have been pet sitting for family and friends for the past 2 years. I always treat every pet as my own, giving them love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I do school at home, which allows me to take frequent breaks to care for pets throughout the day. I’m usually home, so your dog won’t be left alone, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and exercise. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my home. Your dog will be supervised at all times, cared for with attention and affection, and given plenty of playtime and walks. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and like part of the family while in my care. To make sure every pet has a safe and happy stay, I can only host dogs who are spayed/neutered and not in heat. This helps keep things calm, fun, and stress-free for all the pups in my care. Thank you for understanding! 💕🐾
About: I’ve take care of dogs of every kind since more 20 years. I have more of 2 dogs al of my life. I like to take care of dogs I’m currently working remote part time. I’m in my house all the day and I have the enough time to take care of your babies. I have a fenced yard for the security of dogs. I have friendly dogs that will accompany your dogs. We stay inside my house and go to the back yard for play and do the needs.
“Heidy and her family is super friendly and nice! It was pleasure to meet them and we left our puppy without any hesitation! Heidy texted me how my dog felt, sent me some pictures and I’m glad that my pet had a lot of fun while we were in LEGOLAND with kids.”
“They were excellent with my pup and he was always excited to get dropped off. They were also very flexible with drop offs and pick ups which really helped me a lot. I would highly recommend!”
“Amy did great with my Willow girl! I felt very safe leaving Willow with her. She kept me updated throughout the day and gave me an overview of how the day went at pickup. She also offers training and other services, I would highly recommend booking Amy!”
“Tony was fantastic! Not only was he able to watch our Bailey on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, he made sure that celebrating with his family didn’t distract from making sure Bailey got plenty of walks in. I was updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which was a nice addition. We will definitely use Tony again when we are in town. Could not be more satisfied! Thanks Tony!”
“My cavalier, Lola, had the best time with Jamie! I went to Universal for the day and I loved knowing that Lola was safe, and getting tons of love and attention while I was gone! Jamie even sent me a couple photos during the day so that I could see Lola playing with the other dogs. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands-on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school Monday through Thursday from 8–12, and because it’s a veterinary program, I’m able to bring new animals with me every day if that’s something an owner is comfortable with. This allows me to spend even more time with your pet and keep them with me throughout the day. Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications. Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer. I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off. Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum. Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.
“Patricia was awesome! She was so loving and caring to our “Nervous Nellie”, Cinder, a cocker spaniel with issues. Patricia communicated throughout the day with messages and pics. It was a wonderful experience and we would certainly give her 6 stars if we could.”

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 Winter Haven 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 1,099 sitters in Winter Haven, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
