Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two friendly dogs who are shy at first to new friends, but do well once they warm up. Over the years, I’ve also fostered animals when my schedule allows, which has given me experience with pets of different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications when required and have plenty of hands on experience through regularly pet sitting for neighbors. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m more than happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs and treat them like part of the family while they’re with me! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule! I usually work only half a day and spend the rest of my day hanging out with my fur babies until my husband gets home! I have a basket full of toys, my pups get fed twice a day, they always have water available throughout the day. Usually a walk or playtime outside daily. Of course some snuggles all day! My pets are allowed on the furniture and to sleep in my bed if wanted! My pets are my children (in my eyes)!

About: ~ Volunteered at Boca’s Tri County Dog Rescue ~ Have a 3 fur babies of my own named Hudson ~ Available at all hours ~ Will send follow up messages to owner of requested I’ve dealt with dogs all my life, experienced with all breeds. I strive to make sure that whenever you leave your pets with me, they are happy and taken care of. Having pets myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your 4 legged children at someone’s else’s home. I have a strong background in both puppy training and senior pet care, ensuring that I can cater to the unique needs of pets at different life stages. My approach combines patience, empathy, and effective communication, allowing me to build trust and create a safe, nurturing environment for your pets. I am available at all hours, any day. I work from home, therefore, I have plenty of time to spend time with your pets. I can walk them frequently & give medicine if/whenever needed. I am flexible and understand things happen, so you don’t have to worry if your pet(s) need to stay an extra day or hour with me. As always, it will be my pleasure. I live in a town home with my dogs Hudson, Bella, & Grayson. Hudson is a Beabull, weighs 40lbs and is 6 years old. Bella is also a Beabull, weighs 35lbs/3 years old. Gray is a French Bulldog, weighs 25 lbs /2 years old. I take them everyday to our dog park located in our community, since they have to remain active to burn energy. It’s a big park where they can run and play. I also use my backyard. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Each morning, I start by feeding my pet and taking them for a walk, which helps both of us wake up and sets a positive tone for the day. Throughout the week, I schedule playtime and training sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also make time for regular grooming and vet check-ups to ensure their health. Overall, integrating pet care into my routine keeps both my pet and me happy and fulfilled. I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each pet's needs. In my home, I ensure a safe environment with plenty of stimulation, including playtime and exercise. I follow a consistent feeding schedule and monitor their health closely. For clients' homes, I maintain their routines as closely as possible, ensuring pets are fed on time, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I also prioritize following any specific instructions from pet owners and keep a log of activities to share updates. This personalized approach helps pets feel secure and cared for, whether at home or away.

About: I have cared for all sorts of animals from dogs to birds to lizards to bunnies. I love all of them the same! I have many neighbors and family/friends that trust me to take care of and love their babies. Including walks, drop in with lots of attention each time, feedings, in-home stays, tank/litter cleaning. I honestly just love all animals so much and this is a great way for me to love more babies! I’m new to rover but not new to the pet care life! I am currently on summer break from school so my schedule has opened up a lot. I am available most of the day every day of the week! When I care for someone else’s pet, I care for them like my own. I truly will love them at first sight. No matter how rambunctious or timid they may be. I give lots of attention and have to pry myself away when I’m leaving a drop in care. For in-home, I don’t have to leave so I get to give nonstop love! I always send my clients daily pictures to ease their minds and help them enjoy whatever activity or trip they may be on to need my help in the first place. They will be well cared and well loved!

About: Hi, I’m Celina, an animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I recently relocated from Alaska to North Carolina and am excited to provide top-quality care for pets in my new community. My passion for animals drives me to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether you need a regular pet sitter or someone for a special occasion, I’m here to help! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked with dogs who have anxiety and understand how to make them feel more at ease, whether it’s through a calming environment, routine, or extra attention. I’m also skilled at administering medication to both cats and dogs, so you can trust that your pet’s health is in good hands. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, house sitting and doggy daycare. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel secure. Additionally, I can assist with light housework, such as cleaning up after pets and watering plants. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I genuinely love taking care of pets and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs medication, special attention, or just someone to be there while you're away, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! As a stay-at-home mom, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily life. I take my daughter on daily walks, so having a friendly dog to accompany us is always a joy—if your dog is comfortable and safe around children. If not, no worries! I can leave my daughter with a trusted person while I give your pet my full attention. I have my own car, so transportation to your location is never an issue. Your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they need, no matter what! When caring for pets in your home, I provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, ensuring your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. During my visits, I’ll feed, water, and play with your pet, as well as clean up after them. I take special care to ensure your pet’s safety by following your guidelines and routines, keeping doors securely closed, and making sure they’re always supervised. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, companionship, or medication, I ensure they’re safe and happy until you return. Safety is my top priority when walking dogs. I ensure that dogs are always leashed and carefully monitored during walks. If your dog enjoys walks and is safe around children, I can bring them along on my daily walks with my daughter. For dogs that require more individualized attention, I provide solo walks in quiet, pet-friendly areas to keep them safe. While house sitting, I make sure your pet stays safe and secure in your home, following their routine to minimize any stress. I also keep your home secure, clean up after your pet, and take care of light tasks like watering plants. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and secure environment for your pets, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Chelsa! I have had dogs my entire life. I love them like the family members they are. I've trained many of our family dogs over the years. I take care of my friends’ and neighbors' dogs frequently. When your dog stays with me, they will be loved like my own. I'll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe and "at home" with me. Our goal here, as a family, is to help your dog feel like part of our family while they stay. We’re not a boarding facility. We’re a family who wants to welcome your fur family into ours. 💜 I am a stay at home Mom to one child so I am home most of the day. Your dog will be able to access our fenced backyard at anytime throughout the day when I am home. I love to go on walks and will happily take your dog on walks throughout their stay. Dogs are cared for like they are our own. I am happy to let them in and out as often as they’d like. All dogs need to be up to date on core vaccines. We have a young son so they must be comfortable/safe around children. We allow dogs on our couches and chairs and they're welcome to cuddle up and be comfortable. It's even better if they want to cuddle up on my lap!

Our family could not be more blessed to have found Kayleene! My dog is my world and I have tried a few other siteers before meeting Kayleene and hitting it off. My dog loves her. There is nothing more reassuring than my dog being happy and excited to go to Kayleene’s house! I have also met Kayleene’s family which are just as wonderful as she is. Mavis (Kayleene’s furry baby) is adorable and just so sweet. I get pictures every visit, VERY prompt feedback, and she is just so friendly and welcoming! We have definitely found a the best person for our family!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Barbecue

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Barbecue on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 629 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Barbecue. 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 Barbecue 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 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 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 629 sitters in Barbecue, 89% 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.
