“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family since I was a teenager! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have one of my own now. I will take care of your baby like it’s my own! I would love to come to your home and take your dog on a walk, play with them or take them to a park to walk, or host them in my own home! I work full time as a teacher but am available for walks and drop-ins in the afternoons and evenings! My boyfriend and I are typically home on the weekends and on weekdays if your pup is staying with us, they would not be alone for longer than 5 hours. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise! I love going on walks and make sure to spend time hanging out and loving on them when you are away.
About: I have had dogs all my life but I adopted my baby Oliver almost 5 years ago and I have devoted my life to being a dog mom since! My husband and I would love to open our home to your fur babies and Oliver would love having a friend to play with! I currently work from home and we have a fenced in yard where our dog has free rein and can go in and out as he pleases. For exercise we go on walks around the neighborhood and special occasions we venture to the Dog Park! Treats and toys consume my house and our dog loves to play with other dogs of all sizes and would love to share! I currently work from home so our schedule is very open and flexible! I am able to accommodate the schedule your pup is used to! We have a fenced in yard and a crate available for use if requested! We like to know things that may be specific to your pup that needs to stay out of reach and we will accommodate.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. As an adult I gave rescued and fostered all sizes and breeds. Dogs have filled my homes with love and joy and I look forward to sharing my large fenced back yard with a playful puppy or a well seasoned frisbee catcher I currently work three days a week, no more than 6 hours per day. I can visit twice daily, depending on location if a walk is needed. If I am pet sitting or boarding the pets will not be alone for more than 5 hours at a time. I have a large fenced yard with a 1/4 mile walking path just beyond the gate, backing up to Haliburton Park. I am also just 10 minutes from Carolina Beach State Park and the dog park if your pup likes to socialize
“Valerie was wonderful with my pup. She sent updates and kept me informed as to how my pup did while he was with her. Her home and yard were safe and appropriate for pet sitting. I am very thankful that we found her to care for our boy.”
“Andrea is amazing! She watched my doggies all day while I was at work. She was very accommodating and responsive. I know they were very well taken care of. She even trimmed their nails!!!”
“Allie was wonderful! She has a great set up complete with fenced backyard and swimming pool. I loved that the pups in her care were closely monitored and friendly to my energetic, playful pup! I highly recommend and have my next visit booked already. Thanks, Allie!”
“Melody was so sweet! My dog Roscoe had the best time with her and her dog, so much that he couldn’t stop playing the whole time he was there! She was so considerate and thoughtful! She gave him a bath (he was all dirty from the beach) and a cute little goodie bag when we left! So helpful to have him clean on our drive home! We are from out of town but definitely will be contacting her again when we need a sitter in Wilmington and will refer my friends to her! Worth every penny! Thank you!!”
“I’m so grateful I found Susie on Rover. My dog Milo seemed very comfortable and well taken care of during his daytime stay at Susie‘s home. She sent great pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely be back for our next beach trip!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who will treat your pets like family. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I have a 13 year old bulldog, who is extremely sweet and loves being with other animals. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a lot of flexibility. I have a fenced in back yard with a pool. I am a loving stay at home mom to a 2 year old and 13 year old bulldog. My son goes to school 9-1pm, which I’m completely free without my child for extra fun pet activities. I am very attentive to all pets and know they are like our babies. They need the care, comfort, and love that their owners give when they are away.
About: Hi! I am a senior student at uncw! I have been around pets and taken care of them ever since I can remember. I had a beagle and now I have a lab and a dashound which I love:) I have taken care of my extended family’s pets for years when they can’t and I would love to take care of more❤️ I am working a part time job now and now that school is about to be out I will have a lot more free time and would love to take care of pets! I have a big yard that is not fenced but I leash them and they are still able to run around and play with lots of space!
“So glad we found Jacob. He did an awesome job watching our (very) anxious dog while we were at a wedding. He even sent an update with pictures to let us know how she was doing. If you are looking for pet care, we highly recommend him!”
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have cared for the companions of family and friends and have also fostered a sweet boy. I have two dogs I adore very much, named Love (7 years) and Kid (3 years). We are very active and we go on long walks through different trails and parks in Wilmington. A couple years ago I lived in a house where part of my rent contract was caring for two senior dogs, a cat, and 8 chickens. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends, and am happy to host dogs at my house as well. I have a fenced in yard, crates for my dogs, and can easily crate your dog if needed. We keep lots of toys and fresh water available at all times.
About: Aside from having animals my entire life, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I care for every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. I intentionally spend quality time with each animal — whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to help reinforce training for puppies as well. Since I work from home, pets get lots of attention and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind too 🐾 I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule where I can work anywhere and take many breaks. I can take same day/emergency request as well. I give lots of attention throughout the day, whether that’s play, cuddles, enrichment activities, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s personality — some love constant interaction, while others prefer a more relaxed and quieter environment, and I adjust accordingly.
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
“Cosette did a fantastic job! The photos and videos were so funny to watch back. My doggy did not want to go and cosette did a great job of handling me leaving. 100% will book again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arrowhead
Bridgette was truly a lifesaver during Kodi’s stay. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond in every possible way. She accepted my request with less than 24 hours’ notice due to a sudden work issue and was incredibly accommodating, flexible, and kind about the situation. On the way to drop Kodi off, I unfortunately totaled my car (watch out for stray cats haha). Bridgette immediately stepped in without hesitation. She offered to meet me so I wouldn’t have to worry about transporting Kodi while dealing with everything going on. She didn’t just take him off my hands. She stayed with me for a bit, kept me company, and made sure I was okay during a really overwhelming moment. What was originally supposed to be just a few hours of daycare turned into an overnight stay with a late-night pickup the next day, and she handled it all with complete grace and generosity. She even offered to keep Kodi as long as I needed, which gave me so much peace of mind while I sorted things out. Kodi was so well cared for, and it truly felt like he had a home away from home. I am beyond grateful to have found someone as compassionate and dependable as Bridgette. I will absolutely continue booking with her for future needs and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their fur babies. Thank you again, Bridgette — Kodi will definitely be seeing you again soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Arrowhead is $28 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $50 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 316 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Arrowhead. 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 Arrowhead 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.
As of October 2026, there are 316 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NC. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 NC 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
