After going through a few people and having terrible experiences and can as say alexis brought my trust back in rover. She updated me about my puppy at every step to the point I felt like i was there with her. I absolutely loved that. My puppy seemed to really be enjoying her time with Alexis and her dogs. I will definitely be using her service again.

About: IF YOUR DOG IS NOT LEASH TRAINED AND CANNOT FOLLOW COMMANDS OR LISTEN, I WILL CANCEL THE BOOKING EARLY AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PICK UP YOUR DOG. So ask yourself that before you book, thank you. I love dogs and it is my job to make your dog feel like family by treating them with the same love and care that I treat my own dog at home. I’ve had a dog all my life. I’m working from home, so I am very flexible to offer my services! I’m working on my own schedule so your pet will be cared for 24/7 and not alone and will have playtime whenever and walks whenever! If I’m not home, my partner is so your pet won’t be home alone. I have a cat he is the sweetest little angel and loves making new friends so won’t be any problems with him. I love to exercise so walking far or short is no problem.

I was very happy with the care Sam received. Brenda is very patient and knowledgeable. Sam was very shy and she worked with that. He loved running with her. Her daughter was amazing with him. He followed her everywhere. He also got along with Brenda’s pets. I have already booked her again.

About: I currently have 4 husky pups that are very well socialized and would love more friends to play with. I also work with rescue groups to help pups in need. I have never met a pup I didn’t love! I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized. I also feel like meet and greets are important to ensure your pup(s) interact well with mine. Safety is my number one concern. As I have stated mine are well socialized and I want nothing more to help others socialize theirs as well. Safety is a top priority in my home. I do accept puppies you well you just need to message me separately is we can discuss. My yard is fully fenced in and almost a 1/2 acre. I stop my work day to play fetch it for them for about an hour.

About: Hi! My name is Imelda and I’ve had all sorts of pets most of my life from Dogs and Cats to Guinea Pigs, Bunnies, Fish and Birds! I’m a big animal lover and a volunteer transporter for a Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. For me all of my fur babies ARE my children and they know it. I have experience in administering medication orally to dogs, rabbits and Guinea Pigs. I have two dogs Chief (11) and Sofie (3). They are Chihuahua Mixes and get along great with MOST dogs (a meet and greet is important). I have a large fenced in yard with a walking trail in my neighborhood. Your babies will be allowed on the couch and free to make themselves as comfortable as they would at home. I’ve cared for Pets of friends and family for several years. Now that I work from home 100% of the time, I look forward to making new fur friends! We also have 2 guinea pigs Tiny and Theodore that are kept in a my daughter’s room closed off. I do ask for vaccinations to be up to date and records provided as I would like all fur babies that come into my home to always be safe and protected. I currently work remote full-time so I will be available for all of your babies play and bathroom needs! Working from home also allows me to administer any medication that is needed at specific times. I have a fenced yard at my apartment and there is also a dog park at the complex as well so your pup will get plenty of exercise!

About: I have always loved dogs. And I’ve Had Dog For About 15 Years Now. I Am Also Petsitting My Friends Doggies At Times. My House Is Ready To Receive Doggies With Plenty Of Toys And Places To Lounge. I Have A Fully Fenced Yard Where They Can Run And Play As They Need. Currently in between jobs so available any day for day care or boarding. I am in the house most of the day and love to be on my front porch watching my dog in the yard. I have a fully fence front and back yard. Usually only in the front yard. I have gates I can open or close to go in the back yard. My office is the doggies bedroom as well where I have my dog’s crate (she only spends the night in her crate) and an extra crate for small/medium dog. My cat roams free in the house but has a shelf by the window to be alone when my dog bothers him! Ahah We love to play and create new enrichment activities and work on basic commands or learn new tricks. My dog went to a puppy school and day care so she is socialized with other dogs of any sizes.

I have never left my 8-year old beagle, Cody with anyone other than immediate family, and I couldn't have been happier of the way Karlee and her dogs "kept a good eye" on Cody. Karlee got to experience how much of a cuddler Cody is, and it gave him a much-needed opportunity to interact with other dogs, especially dogs that are bigger. Karlee is a very "upbeat" and positive person, and a real dog lover, so I would recommend her to anyone in the Charlotte area.

About: Hi there! I am a loving, active dog sitter with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from energetic little pups to gentle giants. Dogs aren't just pets for me; I love "working" with them, playing brain games, and practicing fun tricks to keep them happy and engaged. I have my own beloved 13-year-old female White Swiss Shepherd. Because my sweet senior lady is getting older, I'm not ready to bring a new dog permanently into my life just yet—but I have so much love to give, which is why I would love to help you out with yours! My Home & Routine: Always Supervised: I work from home, meaning your dog will have constant company, plenty of bathroom breaks, and endless attention. The Yard: I have a great garden for fresh air and stretching legs. Please note: It is currently unfenced, so I always supervise outdoor time and use long training leashes for safety. Special Care: Because of my experience with my own senior dog, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication if your dog needs it. What I am looking for: Since I have kids, it is very important for me that your pup is fully comfortable and friendly with kids. I can't wait to treat your dog like a member of my own family! As a long-time Rover user, I know exactly what goes into providing excellent care. To give you peace of mind, I would be happy to meet you before you book! And! As a photographer, I also offer a mini-photoshoot for your dog—in addition to the regular updates and photos. I am always at home. Our children are at daycare during the day. But they are already looking forward to playing and cuddling with your dogs and my husband works from home. I have a garden, but no fence. Your dog is free to roam throughout the house. I will go for three walks: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. If it is very warm at midday, I extend morning and evening walks so that your dog doesn't burn their paws. Our dog will be kept separate from yours.

About: I grew up with pets and have always had dogs and cats in my home, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’m a proud cat mom and also have a friendly, playful 2-year-old Labrador who loves being around other dogs. I work from home for a few hours in the morning, so I’m home all day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live in a house with a big fenced yard, providing a safe space for pets to play and feel comfortable. I also have two young children, so it’s important to me that pets are friendly and comfortable around kids. My kids are gentle and used to being around animals, and I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone is safe and happy. I treat every pet like part of the family and always follow their routine to help them feel at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home for a few hours in the morning, so I am home most of the day and able to provide attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for all pets in my care. I live in a house with a fenced yard, which allows pets to play and explore safely under supervision. I always make sure pets are secure and never left unattended outside .Since I work from home part of the day, I am able to supervise pets closely and provide regular attention, potty breaks, playtime, and feeding according to their routine.I treat every pet like part of my family and follow all instructions from pet owners carefully to ensure consistency and comfort. I introduce pets slowly and carefully to my own dog and always supervise interactions to ensure everyone gets along safely. I also have two children, and I make sure that any pets in my home are comfortable around kids. All interactions are supervised to keep both pets and children safe and happy.

About: We are a family in need of pets to love on. We love dogs and cats and have had pets our whole lives. We have 2 outdoor cats currently, but they generally keep to themselves. Our most recent dog, Waldo, is no longer with us and we would be happy to love on another’s pet! We are comfortable giving meds (oral) to pets. We have a large yard and live at the end of a cul-de-sac that does not have any through traffic. We also have installed automatic-closing doors to all our outside doors to ensure safety and little chance of a beloved pet escaping. We are flexible on animal type, breed and type as long as the pet is kid-friendly. We have children under 10 that have tons of energy and laps to snuggle. We look forward to helping with your pet soon! Two adults who work from home with flexible schedules. Kids will be at school during the day and on the weekends we are home to love on your pets and walk your dogs whenever needed. We don’t require crates and do allow pets to sleep with whoever they choose. We can accommodate most needs for your pet, including frequent walks and potty breaks. 2 adults work from home every day. On weekends, we are usually home with all kids to play with your pet. We can accommodate walks and frequent potty breaks. We have AirTags that we put on your dogs collar to ensure if your dog did get out, we would always know where they were. We have all doors on automatic closers and can gate our deck for more outside time when we are out there.

Our doggy daycare shut down suddenly and we were in need of overnight boarding for our little dachshund, Trinco. Amy was available and took great care of him! We did a day of daycare with her one day before to get Trinco more familiar with Amy. She treated him like her own pup, and gave him lots of love and attention. We felt relieved knowing that Amy is very familiar with taking care of dogs and was so caring and understanding of how anxious Trinco was to be around new people/surroundings. Amy was also great at sending us updates and pictures to reassure us that he was doing well! We would definitely work with Amy again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Buford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 577 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Buford. 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 Buford 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 SC 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 577 sitters in Buford, 85% 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.
