About: Beginning in childhood, I’ve had several dog breeds (over 20!) that I’ve been tasked to take care of, play with, keep healthy and whose needs I’ve grown to pay attention to and understand. I adore animals and I approach them gently and mindfully, always considering what support will help prolong their lifespan and keep them happy, yet trained and behaved. My friends and family often call on me to either keep their pets company, train or housesit them, and I’m always more than happy to spend time with their animals. I firmly believe pets are not toys, and much more like our own kids, deserving of care, compassion, joy and attention. I have 17+ years experience taking care of and loving French bulldogs and pugs, who notoriously require extra responsibility, attention and instruction, as they can be stubborn and prone to health and breathing issues (often brought on by heat). I have cared for senior dogs who deserve nothing but love towards the end of their lives, and also puppies who need time spent on training and feeling safe, and lots of play and activity to stimulate their growing minds. I am a graduate student, with flexible availability between Saturday to Tuesday, during my off days, when I’ll be studying from home, often lounging and relaxing in my space. Having a pet to look after, feed and care for would not only be a very welcomed time commitment, but would make my space feel even more homely and bring me joy. I have enough time to play with dogs, pay attention to their unique needs and keep them active and joyful, or to simply accompany them while they rest and rejuvenate. I have a spacious apartment and a shaded dog park within my apartment community, as well as a dog wash corner next to the park - helpful during hot days in Florida. I am extremely mindful towards any pet staying with me, and provide them with a comfortable, safe and cooled space, in which I am committed to staying aware of their habits, likes and dislikes, and learning to understand their groove. There are several areas for them to use the bathroom outside, take a walk within the apartment community, as well as designated pee pads inside the apartment. I am happy to be in touch with the clients as often as needed, to help them feel at ease about letting their little one stay with someone new. I care about building trust with a dog, and taking the time to grow our bond, so they can be at ease in their surroundings and reduce any anxiety from a new environment.
“Maria saved the day! We were in town for graduation and our dog was whining when we left him at daughter’s new apartment. Maria was available immediately and she was so sweet, had a great house, yard, and son to help our dog feel better about staying in a new place. She also sent lots of pics and kept in touch so we wouldn’t have to worry.??”
“Took such great care of little Miss Fancy Pants that the next time I dropped her off she ran up and jumped on him (and dobermans are very selective in who they like).”
About: I’ve dog sat for friends and family and have two dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from 4:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. each day, so I’m available every afternoon and evening to provide attentive care for your pet. After work, I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they stay on their regular routine and feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My dogs are part of my family, and I love spending time with them every day. I make sure they’re fed on a regular schedule, get plenty of walks and playtime, always have fresh water, and receive lots of love, attention, and cuddles. I do everything I can to keep them happy, healthy, safe, and comfortable.
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Luna. I felt so good about leaving my deaf dog with her. She kept me updated throughout the day. I will definitely have Luna come back to see Rachel again!”
“Lotte had a great day as always with lots of playtime and naps. Debra was able to take Lotte with last minute notice and even got me a little personalized keychain for mother‘s day 🥰”
About: I got my first dog when I was in 6th grade and he was a shitzu. He was the calmest dog I ever had and people told me he kind of resembled me. That was 14 years ago and I have learned a lot of patience, love, and care throughout that time. After he passed 6 years ago, I’ve continued to love animals through fostering (longest was 2 months) and dog sitting both short term and long term. While your pet stays in my home overnight, I will give all my attention to whatever needs they have. I will play with your dog as if they were my own because that is how much I I love them. My special skill is that I am patient with pretty much everything I do so when it comes to your pets, I will keep a cool head when things get “hairy”. I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to give them attention and company. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking trails that will be perfect to explore! I try my best to treat all pets as if they were my own. I also don’t mind if they snuggle next to me on the bed or if they want to relax on the couch.
“Becky was an amazing sitter! She took care of Oli as if she were her own. She sent us pictures every day and kept us updated with everything. She was very loving and we will be leaving Oli with her again in the future for sure!”
About: I've been pet-sitting for friends, family, and referrals for the past 10 years. Yorkies, Doodles, Dachshunds, and other mixed breed dogs, cats, and birds. I love caring for pets, especially cats and dogs and keeping them on their routines, feeling safe and loved while their owners are away. I've cared for senior dogs and have administered medications to both cats and dogs. I love taking dogs for their walks ...I personally walk 3+ miles every day and will gladly sit for dogs who love a good, long walk. I typically do overnight stays from 2 nights to 6 weeks. I am now accepting dogs, one at a time, for day sits in my home. I have a big fenced in yard and currently no pets. As a writer and yoga teacher I work from home and have lots of time to play with, walk and provide lots of loving attention to your pets. I do not currently have a pet. I used to have cats and I love all pets. I have a fenced in back yard. I typically pet sit in the pet's home when owners travel and am now offering daycare for one dog at a time in my home. I love to send pictures of the pets to their owners to let them know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Absolutely terrific! The whole process was extremely easy. Sending pictures of our doggies and seeing how happy and relaxed they were brought so much ease to my mind. This was our first time ever using a pet sitter and we will be using Barb for all future dog sitting needs!”
“Kristina IS AMAZING! Stop looking and book her. Her house is very clean, her yard is big, and she is super sweet with my baby Tank. She sends pics throughout the day and contacts me immediately if she has any concerns. I love taking Tank to her and he loves to play with her beautiful dog Lucy. THANK YOU KRISTINA for being so amazing!”
“Linwood was great with our dog. He made him feel comfortable and took him on walks. When our fur baby came home that night he was exhausted from him fun filled day.We will definitely be using him again.”
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I’m 25 years old. I’m currently employed full time in a fully remote job. I love all animals. I am familiar with all types of dogs or cats, big or small. I can't wait to start getting to know your animal! The care I provide is both relaxed and active, depending on the request of the owner and the energy level of the dog. My experience with dogs is extensive, ranging from running outside or a more casual day of just lounging. I’ve worked with all sizes of dogs and breeds. I love being a positive attitude and being a quick learner about anything needed to help take care of your dog! I work full time remote, with a regular schedule of 8-5pm every weekday. On weekends, I spend mostly at home or running errands so your animal won’t be alone for more than a few hours at a time. To be the best caretaker, I think the best way to care for an animal is to hear what the owner has to say about them! I’m flexible with most things and aim to be flexible for you.
“I highly recommend Patama. I have a high energy Corgi with a bit of an attitude. He is usually a picky eater, and it’s very hard to tire him out. After spending a day with Patama, he came home tired and actually ate all of his food. I received photos of him throughout the day, and I could tell he was having a great time. I can honestly say he enjoyed his day. Thank you, Patama!”
“Sara took great care of our pup, Cleo! Cleo came home happy and relaxed from her recent day care stay, and Sara kept us updated with photos and messages. Highly recommend Sara for anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog-sitter.”

We’ve brought Boomer to Santo a few times now, and he lovesss it every single time. He’s always so excited to go and is treated with so much care. Santo and her husband are incredibly sweet, and they always send pictures and videos to let us know how well Boomer is doing. We trust them completely and feel at ease knowing Boomer is in great hands. It takes all the stress away when we are away from him for the day or night. We’ll definitely keep bringing Boomer to them, he’s always happy to go and comes home a very happy pup.

Daniela was amazing with our Miniature Schnauzer, Hanna! You could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with her and took great care of her. We felt completely at ease knowing Hanna was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Daniela again — highly recommend!
Brittany is great! Dependable, great communication, warm and welcoming. I have been a regular for a short bit, but have no thoughts of going anywhere else. Brittany works with my schedule and is always goes the extra mile to make sure my puppy is loved and taken care of. Couldn’t say enough nice things to capture all that Brittany does. There is more to it than just day care. It’s an immersive caring experience. Will be back again shortly :-)
Cindy is a STAR with our pup. He always looks forward to going there and we are so comfortable leaving him with her. We get so many updates and know that he is just as loved there and he is in our own home. Cindy is an angel among Dogsitters and we are so lucky to have found her ❤️
I was in town for a dinner and did not want to leave Chutney alone for over 4 hours. Sara was generous to give us a quick meet and greet so Chutney could check out Sara's two dogs plus her father's dog. They were all calm and gentle with twenty pound Chutney. When I dropped Chutney off, Sara took the time to let her settle in with just her for a while, then introduce her dogs again. I could tell from the pictures Sara sent that Chutney was calm and happy. Thank you Sara for taking such kind care of my Chutney.
Second daycare with my pups and they are basically fully comfortable with her! My anxious dog isn’t so anxious with her anymore and now lets her pet him and take him outside in the backyard with no issues! I’m so happy I found a sitter for my dogs! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Winter Park on Rover is $32.19 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 Winter Park 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 2,246 sitters in Winter Park, 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.
