“We had a great day! Whitney was awesome. She let me run & play with her dogs. She took me for walks. She even let me sit on her lap..., not that I gave her much choice! LOL. Mom said I could come back anytime. I sure hope it's soon!! --- Bronwyn, Rottweiler dog”
“I would absolutely use Jeanette again for doggy daycare and boarding! My dog, Lacey, had back surgery and had to relearn how to walk. She still has some special needs, and Jeanette provided outstanding care throughout. She and her own dog welcomed Lacey, and the two became great buddies. Lacey loved spending time in the large, fenced-in yard, which gave her plenty of space to explore and enjoy. She also made herself comfy on the couch for her afternoon naps, clearly feeling safe and at home. I appreciated the frequent updates and the many adorable pictures that reassured me she was in loving hands. Jeanette is a true professional who takes her role seriously, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for dedicated, compassionate care for their pup.”
“Lucia is fantastic. She kept my young energetic dog and my old sensitive nervous couch potato! When I picked them up they were both happy and content. I received frequent photos and texts throughout the day along with an end of day report. Will definitely return and also use for overnight boarding.”

“Christina is wonderful! Super close to me, very responsive, and clearly cares about dogs. My dog had a blast and came home tired and happy after a day of romping with her pup.”
“Jennifer was very accommodating and friendly. We dropped our dog two days in a row for daycare, and he was very happy when we picked him and excited to return the next day. We will definitely go to Jennifer again when we’re back in Pinehurst.”
About: I have tons of experience in doggy day care, and my husband and I moved to the area 3 years ago. He is active duty ARMY, so he can be gone a lot, and what better way to fill the time than with furry friends! I will love your dog like my own. I go to the gym in the morning, than I am home the rest of the day! We will have plenty of time for walks and play time and I hope you meet you and you furry friend soon! I am getting my masters degree in nutrition from an online university so I do all of my work from home! It is the perfect home for your doggie too! I will love your pet as you do! Walk and feed in the morning and then feed and a walk after dinner plus the dog gets free roam in and out of the house because we have a fully fenced in yard I’m a stay at home mom with two little kids! They are two and five. We have a huge fenced in yard and I am never gone for more than an hour or two.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Before I became of mom to 3 beautiful children, ages 14, 10 and 8, I worked around dogs for 5 years at a 5 star hotel pet resort in Alexandria, VA. The love I have for animals is indescribable. Having an animal around fills my heart with so much joy! I'm that person who wants to adopt every dog I see because I know I could give it the best home and family to be loved by. We love to go on walks daily!! If throwing toys and playing fetch is your thing we also love doing that! Whether you’re dog wants to relax or play we’ve got a solution for it all! I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for any dog to relax or to run! We love to be outside when it’s nice and inside when it’s too hot!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to watch over their dogs while they were away. My whole family loves animals, and we currently have 3 dogs: a dachshund, a corgi, and a golden doodle. We take them everywhere with us! For the last decade, I have been working remotely, giving me the flexibility to drop by and attend to your dog. Whether it’s a walk, a quick check in, or some playtime, I’m available! I understand the challenges of balancing work away from home with pet ownership. That’s why a reliable person to keep your dog, engaged throughout the day is invaluable. There’s no greater joy than returning home to a happy and eagerly awaiting furry friend! I have 18 acres and a fenced-in back yard for my dogs. The golden Doodle (Cora Bell) loves everyone, the Dachshund (Dutton) loves to play, and the corgi (Waffles) will run the property until she tuckers out!
“We were on vacation from Louisiana during the fourth of July weekend and needed one day to ourselves with out Sara. Katie did wonderful. She constantly was sending pictures and updates. Sara was just exhausted when we got home, and slept like a beauty on the 8 hour drive home the next day. If I lived in the area I would defiantly be a repeat customer!”
“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
About: I've had dogs and cats (and everything else in between) for as long as I can remember! I've walked, boarded, and house-sat for cats and dogs of all kinds. I'm in an in-between phase of life and have a very flexible schedule. Let me know how I can help you with your furry friends! Walks/Runs/Drop-ins: I'm currently not working so I am VERY flexible! With that being said, I still like keeping a schedule of some sort. If you are looking for something consistent throughout the week, I'd love to discuss how I can help with a routine that works for you. House-sitting: I've watched up to three dogs for 8 days. I'm open to pretty much anything but would like to meet your pups/cats/other beforehand. I can board but that is dependent on the dog since I have a cat at home. Open to discussion! My home has a fenced in yard for those pups that want to roam.
About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood pet sitter—animal nerd, plant parent, and professional chaos manager 🌿🐾 From pocket-sized hamsters to majestic Great Danes, opinionated parrots to mysterious snakes, I love animals of every variety. Fur, feathers, or scales? I’m in. I approach pet care like a science and an art—learning routines, decoding body language, and adapting my care to match each pet’s unique personality (yes, even the dramatic ones). When I’m not hanging out with pets, I’m probably fussing over plants and making sure every living thing around me is thriving. Whether it’s following a color-coded care sheet, calming nervous pets, administering meds, or watering your beloved jungle, I’ve got it handled. You can head out knowing your pets (and plants!) are safe, spoiled, and genuinely cared for by someone who treats every home like a tiny ecosystem worth protecting. 🐈🌸🐶🐍🌱 Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you're away! My wife and I recently made the move to Southern Pines from Florida and have been enjoying getting to know the community—especially its many pets! I believe good pet care starts with clear expectations, happy routines, and making sure every member of the household—furred, feathered, scaled, or leafy—feels safe and well looked after. I’m happy to offer pet sitting, house sitting, doggy daycare, and more. I have a large fenced backyard for safe playtime and live in a lovely, pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for walks, adventures, or just soaking up some sun. Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away!
“Jacki was awesome. We are pleased with her professionalism. Loved seeing photos during the day. One of our dogs can be skittish, but quickly warmed up to Jacki. Great to feel safe leaving our babies with her.”
“Charlotte had a great day with Lilli and her family! We are thinking she will be in the rotation now for my Charli girl. So many cute pics and I could tell she was loved. I was nervous since it was a first day. But Charlotte was tired when she came home so she must have been played and cuddled. We look forward to spending the week with Lilli and her pups!”
About: My background spans everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I do not just monitor pets, I actively engage them. I focus on positive reinforcement, structure, and maintaining your exact home routine. Owners trust me because I treat their pets like my own. You will receive consistent updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home, your pet receives my full attention. My flexible routine ensures consistent neighborhood walks, frequent potty breaks, and dedicated companionship all day long. Whether you need overnight boarding, interactive playdates, daily walking, or quick potty breaks, I easily accommodate your schedule. I offer a safe home environment with one friendly dog for constant companionship. Our routine includes daily leashed neighborhood walks and optional off-leash socialization trips to Martin Dog Park. I also provide secure crating at night for a safe, restful sleep.
About: I have always been around dogs, whether I personally owned them or they were pets of family and friends. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I do not currently have any pets, so I am able to accommodate animals who may have anxiety or prefer to be the only animal in the house. I am a work from home dad and my wife homeschools our 2 children. There will always be someone here to take care of and show your fur baby lots of love! With a large fenced in yard to roam in, even the most active dog will have space to play. I am very flexible when it comes to watching any animal. I have plenty of space to crate an animal, or they may roam free in the house. I am open to walking them around our neighborhood. I do live on a quiet, dead-end road. Any animals that may need special care are always welcome! I will provide as much communication as you would like, including pictures of your pet while they stay with my family.
About: Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details). I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in. I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive. I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities. I’m mindful at doors, leashes, transitions, and the environment around us so your dog’s experience is secure, structured, and positive.
“We are so grateful to Evelin for taking care of our sweet Bichon, Lily, while we attended a family funeral. It was such a comfort to know that Lily was in loving, capable hands during such a difficult time. Evelin went above and beyond to make sure Lily was happy and comfortable, sending us updates that gave us peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Evelin, for being there for us and for treating Lily like one of your own. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Carthage on Rover is $27.75 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 .

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 Carthage 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 227 sitters in Carthage, 87% 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.
