“Radar had a great day with Desi and her very cute pup posse. Desi was very open about showing me her home and yard where the dogs would be. She introduced her dogs to Radar one at a time and was very mindful to make me feel comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. Desi has great dog energy and sent me photos and videos. I will definitely call on Desi for dog care in the future!”

About: I have owned dogs all my life and also cats . My 6 children always were surrounded by with pets and they all received the utmost care . I firmly believe that regular veterinary care is essential and if you can’t afford it don’t have a pet . I recently lost my wife of 60 years and caring for a pet would fill a void ! Dogs are precious and deserve a caring safe environment. I have a fenced yard and a 5 year old pug who is friendly !my cottage is clean and well maintained . The rooms are solid wood so no problem if a dog has an indoor accident . I am retired and spend most of my time at home so I welcome a dog as very nice company

“Taylor and his family were SO sweet and I could not be more grateful for them! Taylor sent lots of pictures and I could tell Beaux had a great time. We will definitely be booking with Taylor next time we’re in the area.”

About: I’ve cared for pets for decades and I have 2 grand dogs and 5 grand cats. I have been blessed to care for many dogs, a half dozen cats, fish, hamsters, 3 baby squirrels and a hedgehog at my home and in others. Familiar with senior pet care, giving meds, raising puppies & kittens and I love to snuggle. I am retired and am available night and day. I miss our senior dog that we rescued as a puppy who passed a few months ago. In need of snuggles! I have pretty large grassy backyard for your dogs activities and a sunroom with full length windows for your pet to watch for birds, squirrels, hummingbirds, ect. I don’t mind having pets on my furniture or in my bed. I will provide the routine that your pet is used too and I am very familiar with senior dog care and puppy care too. We are in a gated community and I will be able to be home most of the time with the exception of a few small errands.
About: I have grown up having multiple dogs throughout my entire life and know how important it is to find someone reliable and trusting with a fur family member. I have dog and cat sitting experience starting from 13 years old to now being an adult! I’ve had multiple experiences with many sizes and breeds of dogs. I am also more than happy to do a brief meet and greet to see if it’s a good fit! I also think it’s helpful (in my experience) to receive pictures of your pet(s) while away - that’s always helped me, so I tend to do the same and send updates and pictures to the families of the dog/cat as well. I currently work from home and have flexibility throughout the day. I already have walks planned into my day and live in a neighborhood that’s easily walkable! I have a fenced in yard if your dog prefers staying outdoors or going out for potty breaks. I also have the space to crate if needed.
“Helena was quick and thorough with communication. She went above and beyond to help Dakota feel comfortable. It is evident how much Helena loves dogs and wants them to feel at home. I felt very comfortable leaving my senior pup with her.”

“Jessica & Kevin were fantastic! My dog came home super tired after playing with their dog all day. I Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my pup. 10 out of 10 recommended and will definitely be using again.”

“Laura was wonderful and so were her pups!! Will definitely book with her again. Great backyard that my dog loved and she handled his separation anxiety really well. Buddy loves her and her little fam!”

About: Hailing from an animal loving family, I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I've worked with small and large, young and old, male and female, loud ones, quiet ones lol, playful, not so playful haha. I have one current furchild and best child, Sunny, who is very friendly and outgoing with all walks of life. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. During the summer I work some local farmers markets but most of the time I am home hanging with Sunny, going on an adventure with him, or doing a photo shoot either in my home studio or on location in the area. Bonus, I can take a professional photo of your baby in my home studio! I have a huge fenced in backyard perfect for zoomies and playing and my neighborhood, in general, is extremely dog friendly with plenty of walking trails. With your consent, I'm also happy to take your pup to the beach, for a pup cup, to the dog park, or any other suitable adventure. I have two large crates if needed and treats, toys, and balls galore.
“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!!”

About: I grew up having cats and reptiles but I've always wanted a dog to have around. I want to experience what it would be like to have a dog so I can finally own one of my own one day. I love animals I wanted to become a vet when I was younger. I have a tortoise right now which is a good pet because they can live very long. I want to eventually own a farm and raise farm animal's when I get older. I use to also own fish and have a gecko as well. My children also take to animal's very well because they are kind and gentle souls like me. I want to provide an excellent service to anyone that needs it.
About: I have always had either a cat or dog. I recently had to say goodbye to our cat and lost my dachshund about 2 years ago.

I have always been the "go to" trusted person for many of my friends for pet sitting. I enjoy being active and outdoors as much as possible. I usually go for a walk or run first thing in the morning and would love to have a buddy for that. I am also open to dogs that are older and need some extra time and attention. My Daschund had seizures for the last couple years of life so, I have experience with some senior dog issues. I work from home every day so, I can spend a lot of time with your pet. My schedule is very flexible so, I can scheduled in walk(s) and potty breaks throughout the day for in home and care at my home. I live in a very safe townhouse community with an ideal low traffic area for walks. I live very close to several parks. I have a screened in back porch and a small fenced in yard with grass.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Carolina Beach on Rover is $48.84 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Carolina Beach 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 311 sitters in Carolina Beach, 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.
