About: I love animals and know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else — I want you to feel completely confident they're in good hands. I share my home with an 8 y.o. border collie who is friendly with other dogs and enjoys long walks and naps. We also have a calm 12 y.o. cat who is used to dogs and mostly keeps to herself. I live in an apartment with a dog park and walking trails nearby, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and outdoor time every day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pets are never left alone and get lots of attention throughout the day. I'd love to take great care of your dog while you're away! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will always have company during the day. We typically go on 4 walks: a 15–20 minute morning walk to start the day, a 15–20 minute midday break, a longer evening walk around 6 PM (30–40 minutes), and another walk around 9 PM. In between, there's plenty of playtime, cuddles, and belly rubs on demand. I'm happy to adjust to your dog's routine to help them feel at home. I live in a clean, smoke-free, pet-friendly apartment where your dog will always be supervised and treated like part of the family. I'm near Morrisville trails, perfect for sniffing and exploring, and have access to a fenced dog park for safe off-leash fun. I keep plenty of toys on hand to keep your pup entertained. You'll also receive photos and updates throughout their stay so you can see how they're doing.
“I left my two little guys at Maninder’s for day care while visiting the Raleigh area while at an event that wasn’t dog-friendly. She and her family were so sweet with River and Ember and sent me several updates even though they were only with her for about 5 hours. Their yard was great and house super dog-friendly. Would recommend!”
“Wonderful experience. Loki had a great time at Nilesh's home. He also sent several pics of Loki during the day, letting us know how was everything going. We recommend Nilesh!”
“My Prince had such a wonderful time during his short visit with Anirban, his wife and fur baby Dave! Prince didn’t want to leave and I’m so happy he enjoyed his time! I will definitely be rebooking - highly recommended! Thank you for the updates and prompt communication! I will be in touch soon!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carpenter
We had a great experience with Nilesh! He is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Leo. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Leo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend to everyone.
Balto had so much fun with Allison and her pup! He came home belly full, energy depleted and ready for bed which is exactly what we needed after very long work days. Allison is very responsive and will keep you updated. Will definitely have her looking over our pup again in the future!
Cherie was very nice to deal with all the way from the initial booking to picking up Wilson to bring him back home. This was my first time using Rover and I was worried about him about half an hour after I had dropped him off. The next thing I know my phone dings and there’s a couple of pictures of Wilson looking happy with his new friends! I was very happy with his care and we are looking forward to working with Cherie again soon.
Angela took such wonderful care of my dog during his daycare visit, and I’m truly grateful. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was safe, well-exercised, and happy. I really appreciated the updates and kindness she showed throughout. I would absolutely trust her again with my dog and highly recommend her care!
Maninder took good care of my dog for a one time visit - I was in Raleigh on vacation & needed pet care for 6 hours. However, I found her communication prior to my visit lacking. The response time & having to ask questions that I felt weren't answered too clearly was a bit frustrating. I apprecaite her help, but would have liked better communication.

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 Carpenter 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.

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.
