About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm an animal lover who works from home full-time! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra love and attention. Working remotely gives me a super flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time at home with your furry friends! Whether they love playing, going on walks, or just having someone nearby to cuddle with, I'm happy to match their personality and routine. I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind with plenty of pictures and updates along the way! ❤️ I work remotely full-time, giving me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention throughout the day for your pets! I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment.
About: Hi, my name is James “Pete” Peedin. Growing up with Labs, Pekingese, Pugs, and Boykin Spaniels, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Because my family used to breed puppies, I’m well versed in handling high-energy young dogs, crate routines, and basic training. I also have direct experience with senior dog care, from accommodating slower paces to supporting mobility needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a gentle senior needing extra TLC, I’ll provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their stage of life. I work remotely so I can be very flexible with my schedule. I can make same day adjustments to best suit pet needs. I just may need a few hours in advance from time to time but I can be readily available most days. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, keeping routines consistent so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walking, and house rules. Beyond basic care, I keep your home secure, clean, and well-maintained while you’re away, sending frequent photo and video updates so you have full peace of mind.
“Alayna was AMAZING! She watch my brand new pup on super short notice and took such good care of my girl. She updated me all day and clearly knows what she’s talking about when it comes to animals! I’m so happy with my experience and will absolutely have her care for Libby again 🫶🏼”
“Lauren was amazing! She took GREAT care of my Goldendoodle Tobi. I found her last minute and she was so accommodating! I can’t say enough good things about her! I will book with Lauren again and again! ❤️”
“Dawn was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. She was friendly and easy to communicate with. My dogs were very happy when I picked them up and were exhausted on the drive home. Very pleased.”
“Everything went great. River was tired after playing with her dog all day. I got pictures through out the day which I really like. Great communication, big yard , got enough water. And I liked that she was very close to where I was staying. I would recommend her and use her again”

I have a fenced in backyard, security cameras, and friendly neighbors with dogs of their own. Every dog is well behaved, and gets along nicely with my girls.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including both dogs and cats, and I’ve also cared for other people’s pets. I absolutely love animals and will treat your fur baby like they’re my own! I’m incredibly reliable, trustworthy, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Moving to a new area without a local network of trusted friends and family to help care for your pet can be daunting. Finding Onelia was a huge relief. She is an exceptionally caring and attentive dog sitter. I felt so completely at ease with her that I didn't even feel the need to check in constantly. Caring for a senior dog comes with unique needs—much like having a puppy again—and Onelia handled everything wonderfully. While a selfish part of me wants to keep her a secret so she doesn't get fully booked, I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: Hi! My husband and I are both hybrid workers, so we’re home often and have flexible schedules that allow us to spend quality time with the dogs we watch. We live in a two-story home with no kids or pets of our own, which means your dog will have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Since there aren’t other animals or distractions, we’re able to give your dog our full attention, lots of love, and care tailored just to them. My experience with dogs goes back to when I was 3 years old, and had my first family dog that I grew up with like a sibling! From that moment, I always treated dogs as part of the family. I rescued my second dog while I was in college from a shelter, and I also spent many years pet sitting for my neighbors, which was truly a dream job because I got to spend all day long playing with dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and routine they often need—whether it's administering medications, helping them up stairs, or just giving them a peaceful spot to nap. We work full-time, but have hybrid schedules where we work from home most of the week. We make sure to rotate our in office days so one of us is always home. We are able to provide potty breaks every hour! For exercise, our neighborhood is suitable for long walks. We also have a yard where we can play with your dog, as well as several nearby trails.
“We had the most perfect day because of the most perfect dog sitter. We came to town and we were a little desperate because we had an unexpected day of plans with our family and no 12 take care of the dog. Bethany and her husband were so gracious and kind and their home is perfect. Our little daisy felt comfortable right away and so did we. Thank you for your kindness and assistance.”
“Briana is awesome! She took such good care of Gus and made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her for the day. I could tell he was absolutely spoiled the entire time. We’d definitely recommend booking with her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Blackburn is $31 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $40 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 411 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Blackburn. 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 Blackburn 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 411 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
