About: I bring a rare mix of professional veterinary experience and full-time, in-home care to every pet I watch. I spent eight years working at Cleveland Park East Animal Hospital, where I managed large boarding groups and assisted with medications, surgeries, and specialized care. That background allows me to confidently care for pets who need medical attention or extra support. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home all day so pets are never left alone and receive constant care and companionship. They also become part of our family, enjoying gentle love and attention from my children. Your pet would truly be part of our family! I am blessed to be a stay at home mother, so I am available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your pet would have constant care and attention from myself. They would also get to enjoy playing around our yard and porch and soak up all the extra cuddles. We have an outdoor cat, and we previously had our loving dog who passed away. We are used to having pets at home! While we do not have a fence, we have a grassy front yard and a large backyard with trees, grass, and even a creek. Our neighborhood boast 17 acres of natural space that include walking trails and a 3 acre pond. Your pet would love getting to go on unleashed walks with us throughout the day to explore all of these areas. As for our home, considering we have pets ourselves, our home is very pet friendly. Our cat prefers to explore outside during the day, but she absolutely loves dogs. Having lived with one for most of her life. We have baby gates to prevent dogs from going to the upstairs portion of our house, which leaves the entire downstairs for play, roaming, and resting.
“My dog, Buster, loves coming to play with Garrett and Garrett’s pup, Dax, for doggy day care! Even though Buster is older he still has a lot of energy, and he is the only dog in our home. Buster gets socialization and play time with Dax in Garrett’s fenced in backyard and comes home both happy and tired! Highly recommend Garrett (and Dax)!”
“Such a wonderful caregiver! Send s multiple photos and videos. Has a spectacular set up in the backyard for playtime. Asks appropriate questions that shows she cares about your pets needs and safety. Highly recommended!”
About: I am ready to provide your dog with the love, care, and attention they deserve. I am a low volume sitter usually only caring for one family at a time in my home. I have a 2 yr old dachshund who loves to play. I have a big fenced in back yard. Drop off and pickup must be between the hours of 7am and 9:00pm. I am a stay at home mom to two kids who are 6 and 11 so your dog must be good with kids. Caring for our furry guests is something the whole family takes part in. While in my care, I will do my best to replicate what your dog is used to at home but I do not allow dogs to sleep in my bed as I wouldn’t be able to sleep myself.
“Lindsay took excellent care of our pup. She has a quiet, welcoming home with lots of indoor space as well as a backyard with a fence and lots of room to explore. She was attentive to our dogs needs regarding feeding and medication, and provided us with regular updates and plenty of pictures, making us feel at-ease with leaving our timid rescue pitty in her care for the afternoon.”
“Rachel was super thorough even before our daycare day, reviewing our pup Shadow's instructions and asking questions about his breakfast time which would overlap with his drop-off which was super appreciated. Rachel and her fiance kept us updated with videos and great pictures of Shadow. Shadow had a great time with Dax, they were super fast friends and really wore eachother out. Shadow was tired for days afterwards from the exertion which was great for us. We will happily use them again for daycare or a longer stay.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a baby in Germany – they’ve always been my family and have taught me how much joy, love, and calm pets can bring. Now I’m spending a year in the U.S. and am excited to care for new furry friends. I truly believe that animals make the world a better place, and I often love them even more than people. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them love, attention, and care. As a trustworthy, reliable, and responsible pet sitter, my goal is to make sure your pets feel happy and safe while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and making their day special! Pet care is my main focus, and I dedicate my time fully to looking after furry friends. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to different routines, whether it’s daily walks, feeding times, play sessions, or cuddles. Caring for pets is not just a task for me—it’s a joyful part of my day, and I make sure each animal gets the attention, love, and exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their individual needs. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and playful environment where pets feel relaxed and happy. At clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely, making sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for just as they are used to, giving them plenty of affection and reassurance while their owners are away.
About: I’m Lydia, a lifelong dog mom who turned my passion for dogs into a full-time dog nannying career. GPC Certified Trainer, privately insured and registered LLC. What sets me apart is the way I form a bond with every dog in my care. I have a deeply intuitive, relational approach informed by science and psychology. We see “pets” as family, so I carefully blend structure with fun so that every dog gets their unique needs met. Every pup gets exercise, enrichment, and engagement that fits their personality. I’m especially passionate about helping working professionals with high-energy breeds meet their dogs' needs for exercise & enrichment. I have hands-on experience raising big breeds from puppyhood, rehabilitating anxious rescues, and caring for senior dogs with special medical needs. I provide custom care to every family, so if you have a special request don’t hesitate to ask. (Additional fees may apply.) *Meet & greet with my 2 dogs is required before I accept first-time daycare/overnight requests. *All dogs must be current on pest prevention as well as vaccines. No exceptions. Pet care is my full time "job" (passion). My own two dogs set the rhythm of the day with regular walks, snuggles, naps, and play sessions, and my regulars help reinforce the routine when new friends join us for a day or two. My 2 dogs are trained, neutered males with medium-high energy levels and high social skills. I am present throughout the day to supervise, play with the dogs, and help make sure everyone feels at home. Weekends are just as consistent—dogs get the same structure and care, but multiplied x2 since my dog-loving husband is home. (We can accommodate dogs who fear men.) I keep a clean, dog-friendly home with safety gates, dozens of toys, and 100% dog-friendly furniture. Dogs are never left alone for long stretches, and I tailor their play groups depending on the dogs' personalities, energy levels, and varying social skills + moods. While I don’t have an attached yard, we make up for it with frequent strolls over to the nearby dog park. In clients’ homes, I follow your established routines closely so your babies feel secure and cared for in their own space.

About: I have years of dog-care experience, including working at a pet resort, administering medications, training, owning, and fostering pregnant and nursing cats and kittens. I absolutely love training, so if you have a skill or command you want your dog practiced or taught, I can do training while you're away. Have experience with animal behavior. Love walking dogs of all sizes. I have administered oral medications for dogs that don't like it. Willing to do light grooming (bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, nail dremmel for those who are trained for grooming). Having a high energy puppy, I’m accustomed to being out doing heavy exercise around 2 hours a day plus lower intensity walks as needed. For older or lower intensity dogs who just want to snuggle they can have very opportunity to do so! I like to keep dogs leashed for safety and have heavy duty long lines to allow them to run and chase or sniff at will. Able to do a variety of enrichment games and puzzles to get their brains working and tired.
“Katherine was great. She took such good care of Hank and sent pictures. She was very responsive and we felt very comfortable leaving Hank in her care. We'll definitely book again. Thanks Katherine!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Five Forks on Rover is $22.2 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 Five Forks 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 SC 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 504 sitters in Five Forks, 84% 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.
