About: I have cared for and lived with several dogs throughout my life. We have a female black lab named Vanta. There is someone home at nearly all times of the day, so your dogs will have free roam of the house and can go in and out of the fenced in back yard as they please! We also have an 8 year old son that loves to help! I am a preschool teacher, so I am able to do afternoon and evening visits during the week and anytime on the weekend and during school breaks. I work normal school hours, but there is another adult home at almost all times of the day. We have a fenced in yard and a doggy door into the backyard. We have a black lab and a 8 year old son, so there is plenty of opportunities for your dog to have play time and burn some energy if needed or get snuggles if they prefer that!
About: I have a very consistent schedule, i love animals and have a great support system. Your pet couldn’t be in better hands. I have an 8 year old son and 6 year old son who love to help me and LOVE to see their baby (our dog rocky) make new friends. My downstairs is open to any dog staying in my home and full access to my large privacy fenced in backyard. I am also very close to the b&o walking trail that animals love to go to. My dog rocky loves to share his toys and will play tug of war with dogs of any size. I work full time, i am gone early morning 7-8am and back around 6pm. My wife is at home and they’ll never be alone. I have a pretty big house, upstairs and downstair, dog gates and a large doggy door(my 100lb dog fits through it) to my big privacy fenced in backyard. I have a small pool for my dog on hot days and a screened in porch for them to be in the shade if they want to be outside but not in the sun.

“Kristen and Kenneth were phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog Ace. They were so welcoming, made sure everyone was a good fit, let us see where the dogs would be and helped us and our boy get acclimated to the environment! They sent updates throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures! I never once worried about Ace (and we often do as he is a very anxious dog)! Not only this, but they helped us pull off an engagement and made accommodations so that the proposal could go perfectly without us having to worry about Ace (: we will 10000% be using them again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Stacy and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had several rescue dogs. I'm the first call for anyone I know who needs a dog sitter or walker. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet yall and lets play fetch! A move in ready kennel is available if needed. I'm located conveniently near the airport, 465, and 70 for easy drop off and pick-up! I work from home full time. I'm a total home body so staying home with dogs is a dream for me. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a 4 years old dog and son ready to play at all times! Dogs are family members so they are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a fully fenced yard and love to take walks daily. I am very happy to drop by for walks , potty breaks, and pets. My son excels at giving pets and love!
“She was great , I need someone to take care of my dog last minute , and she kept me updated on her with pictures and video , canela came back tired and very happy I could tell she had enjoy her stay . Would definitely book again”
“Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”
“Libby is awesome! Our pup loves coming over to her house. He is normally apprehensive of people at first but he has warmed up to her so well, wags his tail and wiggles right out of the car when we get to her house. Highly recommend!”
“Daisy, my 4-year-old miniature schnauzer, had her first visit to Stan's house for daycare. It was a wonderful time for her. She got along very well with the two other dogs, and she was able to experience for the first time how a "doggy door" works. I'm sure she will get the hang of it with a little more practice. She is already looking forward to her next time at Stan's house. He was very caring and thoughtful as he watched over Daisy for the first time.”
“Jackson was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. Also, he is very knowledgeable on the needs of dogs when at daycare such as resting/calm time. As someone that is very particular about the care of my dog, I trust Jackson! Definitely recommend!”
“It was another GREAT day with Mrs. Emily today!! Hank can’t wait to see her every Thursday and he is always a happy boy when I pick him up.. Thanks Mrs. Emily for being such a fantastic sitter!! If you’re looking for someone to watch your furry baby, we HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Tolu was a great person to work with. We used him on 3 different days for daycare services as we toured the city. He was very flexible with drop off and pickup times as they changed each day. Zeke loved his time with Tolu!!”
“Brittany, was wonderful with my little Maggie and her dog Waylon was great with Maggie too!! She sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I love being around animals and helping friends and family take care of them when they’re away! I have a cat myself, but grew up with dogs my entire life! I’m a full time teacher, and currently working summer school half the day. I would love to fill my afternoons being out in the beautiful weather! I will be coming to your location, so whatever you have I will work with! I love being active and taking dogs out for walks, and if you’re a cat owner I have no problem staying in and playing for a while!
“Tracy is awesome. This was my first time leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of her and reassured me along the way too. I’ll definitely be using her again”
About: I’ve grew up with dogs in my house. Since I was 12 years old I was in charge of feed, bath and walk my dog.

(8-5pm) Sat and Sundays: all day long and night I will respect the rules that you have in your house like where that sleep or if they are allowed to be on the furniture, etc
“Dayana was an amazing dog sitter! Her communication was excellent, and she made sure to send cute pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided a safe and comfortable environment, and my puppy came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend Dayana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Chapel Hill on Rover is $16.05 per day (as of July 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 Chapel Hill 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 IN 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 655 sitters in Chapel Hill, 86% 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.
