About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life! Currently, I own two dogs and I treat them like children. I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. My family and friends would ask me to watch, feed, walk and play with their dog when out of town. I work from home so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for weekend boarding, drop off anytime. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can play with your fur baby. I have a crate for your fur baby if needed.

About: I have always loved dogs. Since, I was a child pet sitting has been one of my favorite things to do to make extra money. I currently work full-time from home. Having a pet to care for will not only help past time but also bring joy while working full-time. I have lots of free space in my home, allowing pets to run freely throughout their stay. It is very homey for both humans and pets. I will ensure your pet is safe & well taken care of.

About: I have been a pet parent for 11 years and I’m looking to find some small, furry playmates for my sweet golden retriever to hang out with during the day. I’m a service connected Veteran and I’m home most of the time. I would be home with your dog the whole time of course. I’m very attentive and cautious and being a dog mom myself I understand how scary it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I am a bit of a helicopter parent with my boy and will be with your baby as well. If I’m available, I’m happy to help. If not I will let you know. I only take drop ins the day of or a day in advance due to my health. I have a large living space with multiple rooms. I am able to keep the dogs in my main living space easily so they can be observed the whole time they are with me. They must be good on the leash for potty breaks because my yard isn’t fenced but I’m very cautious when walking my boy and can take your dog out separately so they have my full attention.

“Brianna was able to help out with last minute dog day care for our new rescue! She responded quickly and was easy to schedule with. Our boy had a great time making new friends and was ready for a nap when we got home! Made us feel so much better that he had someone to hang out with while we worked, would recommend!!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for animals for the past 19 years. I have most experience with small breed dogs. I’ve worked for a similar service and kept dogs, cats and bunnies in my home before. Each animal that I care for is like my own pet. We keep them secure in a fenced yard for dogs. We have space inside and have set up a rabbit fencing area with cage. Your pets will be safe and happy while they board with us! I am currently a home school mom with 3 children ages 5-10. My oldest child helps care for pets as well as playing, feeding and walking pets. We can care for pets any day of the week. We have a female puppy who is active and ready to play with your furbaby. We can also crate and provide a quiet space for your fur kid as well. You do not need to provide a crate unless you have multiple pets and want them to be separated. Visiting clients houses will include a lot of love and care with treats (if allowed in their diet). My 10 year old daughter loves to help walk dogs and play with animals of all kinds.

I’ve pet sat previously and also volunteer at a local dog shelter where I get to care for tons of dogs from all walks of life. I work from home so I am available at all times to care for your pup! I have a flexible schedule that allows for drop in visits and walks as well. Your fur baby would get my full and undivided attention. They will have room to play and I live in a neighborhood full of sidewalks - great for long walks!

About: Experienced pet sitter with a customer service mindset. Having worked in an emergency Veterinary Hospital here in Utah, a Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Colorado and on a sheep farm as well, where I trained dogs for sheep herding races. Although I no longer have pets of my own I still love spending time with and interacting with animals. I understand that each animal has its own personality, whether they are extremely excited or like to be left alone and in their own space, I can easily adapt. I consider myself to be very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I am comfortable administering medication, as needed, taking animals to veterinary appointments, bathing, walking and cleaning up after animals. Can't wait to meet your and all your awesome animals!

About: Hi, I’m Dillon! I’ve been caring for dogs for about 3 years and have built my own pet care business, Dillon’s Pet Care. I work with regular clients for walks, drop ins, and overnight care, and I really enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m insured for my pet care business and take the safety of every pet I watch seriously. I’m reliable, flexible, and always make sure to follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions from their owner! I have a very flexible schedule and am available pretty much any day and time. I’m able to work around your pet’s normal routine and can provide consistent care for walks, drop ins, feeding, and overnight stays. I’ve been dog sitting for over three years now, so I’m used to being reliable, staying on schedule, and making sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work with different routines and do whatever I can to make things easy and stress free for both you and your pet! I have a large fenced in backyard where dogs can safely play, get some exercise, and enjoy some time outside. I also have two friendly dogs who are used to being around other dogs, but I always introduce everyone slowly and make sure they’re comfortable with each other. I keep a close eye on the dogs throughout the day and can separate them when needed. I run my own pet care business, Dillon’s Pet Care, and I’m fully insured, so I take the safety and care of every pet I watch very seriously. I follow each dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and having a great time while you’re away!

So why not help others with their dogs! I’m a stay at home mom which means I have tons of free time for all dog needs and wants and even healthy conditions and tons of love I have a large dog park right next to my complex that hardly many dogs go to and even has some training equipment inside for extra exercise

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Emit

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,051 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Emit. 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 Emit 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,051 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NC. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,051 sitters in Emit, 90% 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 , 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.
