About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals like dogs, cats, and even a few bunnies, so caring for them has felt natural for as long as I can remember. Seven months ago, I adopted a puppy of my own, and she’s taught me so much about patience, routines, and unconditional love. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur baby, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I’m especially good with puppies who are still learning, calm or sensitive pets, and following your pet’s routine exactly as needed. I bring a lot of love, calm energy, and attention to detail to every visit or walk. I’m very flexible! I work from home, so my schedule is wide open. I can take the doggies for walks, potty breaks, or just hang out with them! 😊 At my place, I make sure pets feel safe, comfy, and loved, just like they would at home. I keep things clean and chill, with lots of playtime, cuddles, and outdoor breaks. I also stick to their routine and take care of any special needs they have. When I’m at your place, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I know how important it is to keep things familiar for your pet, so I follow their usual schedule. That includes meals, walks, playtime, and any meds if needed. My goal is always to help them feel happy, relaxed, and cared for, wherever they are.
“Mia provides the BEST care imaginable --- so loving, friendly and welcoming. Since this was his second visit/stay, my Boone walked right in, wagging his tail knowing he was going to have a great time. The photos she sent during that time really showed that, too. I'm so happy to have Mia as a friend for him and all our kids.”
“Max was very good with Rocco. He was attentive and sent updates during the day. It was clear that Rocco was comfortable and well cared for. We look forward to working with Max again in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Allison did not disappoint! Allison's excellent communication skills gave me so much peace of mind throughout the whole process. I also really enjoyed receiving photos and updates throughout the day. I will definitely be booking with Allison again and highly recommend other to do the same!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them! Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, and care their dogs from when they were energetic puppies to older and more relaxed. I’m comfortable handling different personalities and needs, whether that means playtime, sticking to routines, or giving extra time and patience. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy and cared for. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pup and will often be available for last minute requests as well! I am available for drop ins and walks weekdays and weekends, and daycare and overnight stays during the week. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and have time for walks, play, and bathroom breaks. For daycare in my home, I provide a calm environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention.
“Ryan is awesome!! He has watched my 2 large golden doodles for a long weekend, and for daycare and both experiences have been seamless! Ryan’s responds almost instantaneously and is always available in a pinch. He makes pick up and drop off super easy and send lots of updates! My dogs have a blast playing in his backyard.”
“Keira helped us with care for our 7mo old puppy for the day. She was wonderful! Super communicative with updates during the stay. You can tell she really loves the pups she has the pleasure of taking care of! We look forward to more stays with Keira in the future!”
“We needed someone to watch Indie for the day while we were moving, and it was such a great experience. From the photos and updates throughout the day, Indie looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even fell asleep as soon as she got home, which is always a sign that she had a fun and busy day! We really appreciated the communication and would definitely recommend Grace to others. Thank you for taking such great care of Indie! 🐾”
“I cannot rave enough about Lynann. I am VERY overprotective of my, almost 15 year old, dog and Lynann did an AMAZING job at putting my mind at ease regarding leaving my pup with her. I received updates and pictures throughout the day for my dog and she came home exhausted and happy. I would highly recommend Lynann to anyone looking for someone to care for your pup. She is definitely our new go-to dog sitter.”

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs, a Golden Retriever named Miley, followed by Henry and a beagle terrier mix Tippy. I did feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I also had two guinea pigs, which taught me the importance of consistency and attention to detail when caring for pets. Over the years, I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, feeding, walking, and checking in on their pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members as if they were their own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I spend time each day feeding, playing with, and caring for my cat, as well as keeping her environment clean and comfortable. I also enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks fit easily into my schedule. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's instructions and routines. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I'm happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte
Winnie was just absolutely wonderful for my pup's doggy day care needs! I got tons of photos, check ins and I felt my pup looked so happy in all the photos. It can be hard to trust someone new with your baby and Winnie's kindness towards my pup really put my mind at ease. I would happily rebook her in the future and would highly recommend to others!
If Heaven was on earth should be the name of the post!!!! This was way more than an AMAZING experience! Bentley was nervous at arrival and was welcomed in with care and ease!! I was updated with pics and videos often enough for me to have not a one worry!! I’ve never been happier and couldn’t have asked for anything better! The care was above and beyond what i could have asked for!! Bentley has a sitter for life!!!!
Rachel is a huge gift from Rover!!!! My work schedule is a bit crazy and very unpredictable and she’s been so kind and understanding. Beyond that my Bodhi boy is always so excited when we pull down her street because he knows he’s going to have a fun day with her and her pup Leo! Definitely recommend this sitter!!!!
Audrey was absolutely wonderful with Tanto! From the moment we met her, we felt like he was in great hands. She watched him for about six hours, took him on walks, played hide-and-seek with treats to keep him mentally engaged, and gave him plenty of love and attention throughout the day. She also took the time to comfort Tonto after we left, which meant a lot to us and showed how patient and caring she is. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure he felt safe and happy. We really appreciated the updates and could tell Tanto had a great time. We'd absolutely trust Audrey with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and reliable dog sitter!
Kelly was wonderful with Ellie! She was flexible with both drop off and pick up times, which made everything so easy. Ellie came home happy, and I felt confident she was well cared for throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Kelly and would happily book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Charlotte on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 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 Charlotte 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.

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.
