“Heather was great with River. We were in town visiting family and we booked ahead. Heather stayed in constant communication right up until her visit and during with the cutest pictures of River having a great time. She stayed with her for 4 days during the day and River already misses her! I would give her 10 stars if I could. Thank You Heather!!”
“WOW! Angie went above and beyond to make Honey's birthday at her house wonderful. She made homemade GF pumpkin cakes (after asking Honey's dietary needs), found party hats, and made it an absolute party. I was having a rough, stressful day, and the photos and updates Angie sent of Honey + Winnie celebrating made my whole day. We will continue trusting Angie with our fur babies!”
About: *Important* I just had a baby in February so all dogs must be okay with small babies! 💙 We're a package deal! I've had dogs my whole life, from big to small, they are all my favorite! This is the first time I've had an empty nest! ❤️ I have experience from newborn puppies all the way up until senior dogs. I've dog sat for friends and family my whole life. I love animals as if they were my kids, and would love an opportunity to care for your furbabies as my own. My schedule is pretty flexible! Tell me about your pets needs and we can go over how I can provide the best care for them! I will treat your babies, of any kind, as if they were my own. I love cuddles on the couch, walks, playing and taking naps! We can work on tricks too! I can also clean and take care of plants or anything else if needed!
“Ariana was great with my pup! She was flexible and accommodating, which I so appreciate. My pup came back tired and happy from daycare with Ariana and her pups, so I know she had a good time! Would totally recommend her to watch your kiddos!”
“Maria, provided excellent care to my dog in daycare. She sent photos through out the day and my dog looked very happy and comfortable. She was flexible with me and kind as well. I would ask Maria to watch my dog again.”
About: I have 2 of my own dogs that are very much like children to me! I have been around dogs my whole life and have always loved them like they were my own. I have also taken courses on dog training and understanding their behaviors. I will give your dogs a loving and relaxed experience just like I would want for my own! I currently stay at home full time with the dream of having my own dog boarding business so you will never have to worry about your pets being alone! I am a huge dog person so my dogs get treated almost like humans and so would yours! We have plenty of area for your dog/s to roam and be relaxed. I am also able to separate my dogs from others if the situation requires it.
“Robin was exceptional!!! I would 100% revisit her every time I am in Nashville. She created such a welcoming and comforting space for my Tucci, made sure she was active, and constantly communicated updates! Robin was super friendly, flexible, and she had so much access to good green, safe, dog-friendly spaces! Best sitter ever! Thanks Robin!”
“Belle was very good about explaining everything---areas available to the dog, other dogs at the home, toys, food, water, vet etc. Everything was clean. It was the first time my dog had been left with someone other than myself and so it was all new to him. I felt confident that Flynn was well taken care of and will use Belle again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and horses most of my life and just generally enjoy their company. I am familiar w administering meds, adept at noticing issues and detail oriented. I am available full time during the week at my home and can do morning and evening drop-ins as well. Overnight stays are available as well. I have a fenced in yard, a pool for those that like to swim. A large area for running when weather permits. My home includes two kitty cats and one medium-sized gentle doodle who enjoys playing and snoozing depending on what your dog enjoys. :)
“Luigi had tons of fun at daycare today, thanks Ashley! Loved seeing all the pictures taken throughout his day and happy to hear he did well on his leash/walks too :)”
“Ute was great proving day care for our new puppy. As he was in a new home and trying to adapt to life without his mom and littermates, Ute went the extra mile to attend to his needs as a young puppy. I highly recommend Ute!”
About: Dogs have always been part of my everyday life. I’m not just a sitter; I’m a genuine animal lover who understands how important your pup is to you. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, giving each the patience, love, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. My own dog, Dottie, is a gentle, social butterfly who loves making new furry friends. She’s well-traveled, kid-friendly, and has even been a source of comfort for people in my corporate office. If your pup loves companionship, they’ll have a ready-made best friend waiting here. I work 100% from home, which means your pet will never be left feeling lonely. I have the flexibility to give them plenty of attention throughout the day — walks, backyard playtime, cuddle breaks, or quiet time if that’s their speed. Daily care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s a natural and joyful part of my routine. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My half-acre backyard is fully fenced with a spacious patio and a covered area for shade, perfect for supervised play or lounging. Inside, your dog will be welcomed like family — cozy, cared for, and never crated unless that’s part of their routine. I get to know each dog’s personality and needs so I can mirror their home life as much as possible. I keep things consistent, calm, and full of love. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication every step of the way.
“Our dog loved spending time with Larissa and her family. We were so glad she got to enjoy time with kids and other dogs. It would have been great if there was a fenced outdoor area in the home but it’s not that big of a deal. We will 100% have Larissa care for our pup again soon!”
About: I've taken care of many types of dogs my whole life. In our adult years, my husband and I have watched many dogs for friends. We welcome senior dogs, puppies and anything in between. We do have two dogs of our own who are very friendly. I am a stay at home mom over the summer so my schedule is very open to take care of pets. My daughters are 5 and 7 and will be with me for all pet care. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to play with your pup. We have a doggy door installed and a large water bowl. We have crates and places to put additional crates if needed.
About: I’m a homeowner with a huge fenced in backyard. I WFH so potty breaks and play time is not a problem. I have a 70lb golden retriever who loves to play. I take my own dog for a minimum of two walks a day. Most days I get out three or four times. I have a huge fenced in backyard for in between walks. I have a very sweet 5 year old golden who loves other dogs. I have experimented caring for super young all the way to end of life care for senior dogs.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Charlotte
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Charlotte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 TN 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 887 sitters in Charlotte, 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
