“Lucy had a wonderful play date with Alex and her pups! Alex is great to communicate with, and it was helpful to do a meet and greet to ensure all the doggies got along (they did). Appreciated the pics and video updates during her stay!”
“Karissa and Robert took such great care of Sherman for his first week at day care. He enjoyed his time so much and they made his new environment so comforting and easy. Thank you both so much, can’t wait for Sherman to go back to have a great time again this week.”
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”
About: I was born and raised with German Shepherds growing up. I love dogs. I haven't found a dog yet that didn't like me. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own. While the dogs are at my home, they will not be caged, they will be free to run around the house and let me know when they need to go out as well. Most will let me know if they want to go out to play too. They may be tired when you come to pick them up from my place or even if I sit at your home. Please provide dog food and a crate (If Needed) for your dog. I don't have any breed or size restrictions but do ask they be up to date on vaccines AND flea/tick prevention. I'd like to know of any medical conditions, food sensitivities, and any little traits they may have such as being an escape artist, loving to chew, etc. Feel free to share their favorite things to do so I can make their stay as enjoyable as possible! **** I can also keep multiple dogs from the same family. **** I usually only take one family at a time, I do not book more than one family unless there is a day/hour overlap between bookings. Updates: 08/01/21 - I have security cameras now that you can log into to see me playing with your dog during their stay. No extra costs for this feature. TODAY - I'm always home now. I was laid off on 05/29/26. So now I'm home all the time. I have a fenced backyard. I take care of your dog as part of my family. They are inside with me and ounds.tside to play and go potty. They roam around the house just as I do. I take care of them throughout the day. Feed them as you recommend. I take them out often to play unless I see they get too tired, etc. I always look out for the dogs. I have always updated owners if the dogs ever get hurt and keep an eye out for their health and safety. Update - I'm always home now. I was laid off on 05/29/26. So now I'm home all the time. I will treat the kids as family. I always look out for the dogs. I always update owners if the dogs get hurt and keep an eye on their health and safety. During the summer and winter, I make sure they drink water if they're very active outside. ****** I will no longer dog-sit Pitbulls and Rottweilers for my own safety! *****
“James was professional, kind, flexible and easy to communicate with. He treated Phoebe like she was one of his own and that made her and myself extremely comfortable. I plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again for everything😊”
About: I will love your pets just as I love mine. I currently have 3 cats and a 4 year old pitty I have owned 2 additional cats and 2 additional dogs in the past. I love all of my pets with a passion I do work from home Monday through Friday but I am very flexible when it comes to coming during the day. I can take breaks and lunches as I please. I can also come anytime during weekends. If your pet needs special care, I am able to follow instructions very carefully. If your pet can be stubborn when it comes to medicine, I am very patient. I will send you periodic updates when I arrive and leave your house so you can trust that I show up and keep your pet company while you are away.
About: While we know we can’t commit to having a full-time pet right now, we absolutely love the idea of getting to love on and care for yours. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including puppies and senior dogs, as well as smaller animals and rodents. I grew up in a house full of animals—dogs, cats, hamsters, and pretty much any pet we could convince our parents to let us have! Then adulthood, careers, and kids happened, and somehow I became a “responsible adult” without a house full of pets. 😂 And my kids? They ask almost daily, “Can we have a rabbit? A dog? Hamsters?” So getting to shower your pets with attention would probably make all of us very happy. We work from home, so your pet will have company during the day! We are flexible for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, lots of attention. We’re a two-parent household with two kids (9 and 5) and, somehow, we’re the only house on the street without a dog! 😂 We have a fenced-in yard, a super pet-friendly neighborhood, and plenty of space to play and hang out. Our home is well-maintained and pet-friendly, with baby gates available to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have trained puppies, given medicine and my pets live long pampered lives. I have 2 dogs now! I am not working so my schedule is flexible. I can make visits many times throughout the day. Overnights are not a problem at all. I do watch my grandchildren periodically so must get along with kids. I have 2 dogs and a fenced in yard. I am also very diligent about safety and keeping pets contained. I understand the dangers of lost pets. I volunteer with Lost and Found sites and rescues.
About: Hi! I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and look forward to treating your four-legged family members like my own. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and feline friends. I have experience administering insulin shots and other medications. I look forward to meeting your four-legged family members! By profession, I do lights for concerts! But when I’m not on the road I love to spend time with animals. I am able to easily adapt to any schedule as I pet sit on my downtime from work. I care for every pet with love and attention to their individual needs. I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, walks, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also make sure their space stays clean, safe, and comfortable so they feel happy and cared for.
About: I have experience caring for dogs through family friends, along with hands-on experience raising multiple dogs, cats, and even lizards of my own. I also volunteer full-time at a dog shelter in my college town, where I work closely with dogs on training and building positive behaviors. In addition, I’m comfortable administering medication if your dog needs any extra care. I am currently at home for summer break giving me plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I am a University student, so my availability will only be from May-July as I will need to go back to North Carolina for school. I am extremely flexible and am so excited to get to know your pets! I have a fenced in back yard with 1 friendly dog. She plays better with larger dogs, but can adapt to everyone! I will prefer to pet sit/dog walk from your home over boarding, just because my home can be hectic from time to time, I want to ensure your pup has the best time possible with me! I love to go on long walks, hikes, drives, and all of the above with dogs, so activity will not be a problem for me :)
About: At Miles + Me Pet Care, LLC, I specialize in caring for just 1 dog or 2 from the same household at one time, so the vibes are chill. I’ve found that nervous dogs and first-time boarders tend to settle in really well here and thrive with this kind of one-on-one care. My dog Miles is a 6 years old mixed breed dog who plays a big role in that—he has a natural way of bringing out the best in every dog that stays with us and helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I work from home, which both Miles and I love! We have a large fenced in yard with a nice deck where he can sunbathe, do his zoomies, and just live his best life! Miles can get a little bored while I work, so a furry sibling would make his day! I just feel like there would be a lot of winning going on! ❤️ Our home: Miles and I live in a two-story house and a large 100’ x 50’ fenced in yard—one of the main reasons I bought it (that’s how much I love my dog! 😄). The first floor is the main living space and is very dog-friendly: vinyl floors, washable rugs, and protective couch covers. Miles sleeps in the bed at night and roams the house while I work or need to run errands. With that being said, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and whatever that looks like for them—stress-free is always the motto. We’re in a safe, quiet country setting with only "one way in and one way out" road so very low amount of traffic, perfect for relaxed pets. I only watch one dog at a time or two if they are from the same household. Your home: I am also happy to come to your house if that would be a better fit for you and your pet. The only caveat at would be that I have to bring Miles with. Think of it as a built-in bro for your pet. Bonus points: I also could work from your home if you needed that as well! Happy to help!
“Kristopher took care of Haru for us as daycare for 1 day and I could tell that she felt relaxed and at ease in their home. She is pretty shy but I could tell she felt welcomed there. I also appreciated how professional he is. Thanks again Kristopher for faking care of my baby ☺️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garner
Our pup Ollie had such a good time at daycare for the day. Alexandria was very professional. She provided plenty of photos, videos, and updates. She gave Ollie some extra treats which he loved! We picked him up and he’s been sleeping since- he is so wiped out from having the best time playing all day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Garner is $31 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,376 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Garner. 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 Garner 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.

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 .

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.
