“Linett is the absolute best 10/10 service!!!! We cannot thank you enough for caring for our pup Fenway. Your flexibility, consistent communication, and attention to Fen definitely put us at ease. We appreciate you, and Fen absolutely LOVES you lol. We will be booking again”
“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”
“Adrienne & Jarrod are incredible! They are kind, responsive, and accommodating which made the experience stress-free. Through the numerous photos they provided it was clear that our dog, Harley, got along very well with Remy and received a great balance of exercise and enrichment throughout the day. Harley can't wait for her next stay!”
“Amanda was amazing and highly communicative throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond to help my anxious pup feel comfortable, which made a huge difference. I really appreciated her care and attention.”
“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”
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.
“Ana was my best experience on rover thus far. She took amazing care of my dog on a difficult day for my fiancée and I. My dog had a great time with her, and she was excellent at communicating. Highly recommend.”
“Mia was great. She took care of my pups on a very short notice. She is very flexible and willing to make things work. She sent tons of pictures of their walks and play time. I will definitely bring my pups to the Inn for our future trips.”
“Big milestone for Gus this week—his very first stay with Isabella, and it couldn’t have gone better. 🐾 About a month ago, we did a meet-and-greet so they could get acquainted, and today was the perfect chance for them to spend more time together and strengthen that bond before our trip next week. It means so much knowing he’s becoming comfortable, confident, and happy in her care. Isabella has such a calm, gentle presence, and Gus settled in almost immediately. Even though it was just a day visit, she sent texts and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part? Gus had such a wonderful time that he didn’t even want to go home. 💛 That’s the kind of reassurance every dog parent hopes for!”
About: I have been taking care of my dog for 6 years and have experience dogsitting for over 10years. My dog loves to have a friend over and we love to make their stay as amazing as we can. As a dog owner, I want to provide the relief that your dog is well taken care of of while you are away 😊 I currently work from home. Your dog would get plenty of walks throughout the day as well as playtime with my dog. I also have a small courtyard they can access for potty breaks and smell breaks. I have a very small fenced in courtyard for potty breaks and just hanging out outside. I take my dog on walks multiple times a day and we have an afternoon/evening playtime session. My dog Charlie, is a gentle giant and loves guests.
About: I've been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up on my grandparents' farm taking care of dogs, bunnies, pigs, sheep, cows, you name it. That's where my love for them started. I've trained every dog I've ever owned myself — from a big Rottweiler to a tiny Chihuahua-pug mix, and now my German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy. I'm good at reading their body language, teaching manners, and fixing leash reactivity so walks are actually enjoyable. Been walking dogs for friends and family for years and house-sat a bunch of times. I'll treat your pets like my own — give them the love and attention they deserve, keep them well-behaved, and make sure you have total peace of mind while you're gone. Your dog will be spoiled, safe, and happy with me. I just got laid off from my job, so my schedule is wide open right now. I’m home pretty much all day, every day — weekdays and weekends. That means I can take your dog out for potty breaks, longer walks, playtime, whatever they need. I’ve got plenty of time to make sure they’re well taken care of. In my home, the dog always gets my full attention. I'll make sure they feel safe and comfortable, keep them entertained with playtime, and work on training — I love watching them go from not knowing a command to nailing a solid sit, heel, or place. Of course I'll handle all the basics too — feeding exactly how you tell me, potty breaks on schedule, and making sure they're never stressed or bored. Whether it's at my place or yours, I'll treat your dog like my own and give them the attention they need.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for family and friends since I was 18. I love meeting new dogs and letting brewer make new pup friends! I’ve been trusted with over night stays, feedings, baths, long walks, etc. I have dog training skills as well such as leash control, obeying commands, etc. I work remotely full time at my own schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, play time, feedings, etc. I am able to keep a crate if needed. My apartment complex has a dog park for playing and I have a super friendly dog to keep your dog entertained and loves to play. I also live a block across from the walking trail which is perfect for walks.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two family dogs, giving me years of hands on experience with daily care, including walking, feeding, and playtime. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for friends and helped care for their dogs while they were away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work fully remote, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to take dogs on walks, provide drop in visits, and give them the attention they need. I also enjoy going on walks and runs as part of my own routine, so staying active with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always providing a safe environment. I live in an apartment community with a fenced-in dog park, which provides a secure space for dogs to get exercise and enjoy time outdoors while being closely supervised. I am attentive to each pet’s routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitting and dog walking expert is my deep commitment to providing a tailored and enriching experience for every furry friend in my care. My extensive training in animal behavior and pet first aid ensures that I can confidently handle any situation that may arise. I have a proven track record of successfully managing dogs of various breeds and temperaments, making me adaptable and capable of meeting the unique needs of each dog. What truly distinguishes me is my passion for fostering positive behaviors and connections. With a background in positive reinforcement training, I can work with your dog to reinforce good behaviors and address any challenges they might face during our time together. Additionally, my dedication to maintaining their routine and providing mental stimulation ensures they feel comfortable and content while you're away. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment that gives your dog the exercise, companionship, and care they need. With a blend of expertise, personalized attention, and a genuine love for animals, I'm confident that your furry companion will have an exceptional experience under my care. Ideally I'm looking for a few Paw Pals to walk or sit on regular basis and keeping their routine would bebof top importance. My schedule is open. First I like to ask the parents how is the dog care for at home so I can try to emulate that at my home. As for the walks and play area, I live next door to a nice large fenced in dog walking area which is perfect for throwing the ball or frisbee and having fun. Also I believe walks are the perfect opportunity to encourage learning and training activities.
“Oriana was a fantastic caregiver for our pup Linus. She was very communicative and took some amazing pics of our little boy. Would def recommend for your furry friends!”
About: I have had dogs in my home my whole life. When I was young, I started to learn responsibility by taking care of our pets. I’ve spent years walking, feeding, and grooming dogs. When any of my friends, family, or neighbors go out of town, I am their first call for a pet sitter. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, St. Bernards, and Pitbulls. I have had rescue dogs that need extra care and love due to their past, and am patient and gentle with those that are nervous. I also have experience with puppies, as I have raised some of my pets. I can even help with commands like sit, stay, and place. There is not a dog in the world I wouldn’t love! I work full time in live sports, and December is our off-season, so I will not return to work everyday until mid-January. I will be able to provide as much attention to your pet as you like! If your pet were to come stay with me in my home, they would be in a very clean and comfortable apartment. There is a balcony that they would not be able jump over or squeeze through, but they can enjoy the sun and fresh air! We have a fenced in dog park area, and per your request, I can either let your pet explore while it is empty, or take them to socialize with the others. If I am coming into your home to care for your pet, I will follow the guidelines you provide me exactly. I will always ensure the door is locked behind me, and that your home stays tidy as you’ve left it. I will make sure your pet comfortable as well, since it is also their home I will be coming into!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte
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!
I feel so lucky to have found Winnie as a sitter for Rowan! Whether she’s there for daycare or boarding, I always know she’s in loving and capable hands. I especially appreciate the photos and updates throughout the day. Winnie consistently goes above and beyond, even taking extra time and care to help Rowan feel comfortable when she’s anxious. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Linett took such wonderful care of my dog, Khan. She was very accommodating, punctual, and great about sending me adorable snuggle pics throughout the day. Khan loved her so much he didn’t want to come home with me! I will be booking Linett over and over again and can’t recommend her enough.
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! 🐾
Nia was so patient for me and Malcolm’s first pet sitter experience. I had a million questions and she answered all timely and helped me prepare for this experience and we discussed how to plan moving forward. Will definitely be bringing Malcolm again to help him get more acquainted with new spaces

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Charlotte
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Charlotte on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,772 sitters in Charlotte, 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.
