About: I have always been the one everyone goes to for animal care. Animals are driven to me. And when I come into somebody's home, the animals always sit with me or love up on me. I know how to take care of a variety of animals from dogs, cats, exotic animals, too farm animals. I have started watching pets on my own and have nothing but great reviews. I work for myself and I need a flexible schedule, as my son is autistic. He loves having animals around as well. I am a single mom and I love the fact that I can teach my son the appreciation for animals and what they bring into the home. When I am able to care for your pet in my home, they are able to socialize with my dog is well. He is very active. He is a lab pit mix. He is friendly and never had any issue with any other kind of animals. Your pet will also have more one on one care. When i do check ups at your home I'm only there for a short time and tend to get anxiety from being alone too long.
About: (Base Access) Hello! I’m a Veteran, Mom of 3 kiddos, married to a Veteran and in my thirties with experience birthing puppies and goats, walking/running with dogs. I’ve taken care of 3 elderly dogs and helped them be as comfortable as possible before dying at home. Groomed our family dogs for years. I’ve helped my dogs and others after surgery and have experience giving medication. We have a single story home with only three steps to the backyard and two to the front yard. My husband and children are wonderful at cuddling and playing with all the dogs we get to meet. We will provide the full spectrum of care needed to help your furbaby feel loved and safe while away from their own family. I’m home most of the day every day, we go on walks as a family in the morning & evening. I have a minivan available for transporting all sizes of animals. We homeschool and my husband helps whenever I need to take the kids to activities. There are very few times where we are all away from home, so we are able to give extra attention. I have a large fenced yard with chickens (in their own fenced area) and my cats are friendly and live outside the home. Our home is a single story and the only steps are three to the backyard and two to the front yard. Our garage is heated/cooled and a great space to keep large kenneled pets. Our neighborhood is quiet and has a great road for walking on.

“Pam and Frank were so good with Dexter! They sent plenty of pictures which helped me feel so much better about leaving him. They played with him, snuggled him, and wore him out during his visit. We will definitely utilize their services again!”
“Marcia was very kind and accommodated our travel plans which was much appreciated. She shared pictures during his day and took great care of him. We will be using her services again”

“My dogs received excellent care by Kelly. She went above and beyond our expectations! The care felt like dropping our babies off at a second home. We highly recommend her and will be going to her again in the future.”
“Aramae was great with my large Lab. My doggie daycare request was short notice, but she was able to accommodate us, giving me peace of mind that my dog was well cared for when I headed into the office.”
About: My love for animals could never be replaced!! I’ve grown up around animals as big as horses and as small as little kittens. I have 4+ years of animal hospital experience and currently have been working in veterinary emergency for 2 years…Many people have been able to count on me to check in on their pet wether it be to feed them or even just play with them. I’ve only worked in animal hospitals my whole life so even if you just have questions about your pet I’ll most likely be able to give you some good advice. I love all animals and have also successfully trained all of my own and helped others train their pets as well! My rates were carefully thought through and decided upon how well I will love and care for your pet as if they were one of my own. (Mine are too spoiled for their own good) my babies love to run around in the back yard and play ball!! I would LOVE to meet your furry baby and give them the best care and send as many pictures as you wish so you have no need to worry. :) I’m currently working part-time at an emergency animal clinic which is only night time hours. Weekends if I work are different due to most other animal hospitals having limited hours or being closed which means my emergency clinic is open for those who need their pet cared for. I have a fenced in yard (tall private wooded fence) and 2 extremely friendly fluff ball friends of my own who are all vaccinated and healthy and they would love to meet some new friends other than at the doggy park! If your pup isn’t good with other dogs, that’s totally not a problem at all either!!
“Tonya was an absolute savior! She took great care of my puppers! She sent many pictures throughout the time. I believe she even got some cuddles in!! I am so happy that she was available last minute. Anybody in the Jacksonville area I highly recommend her. We were only in the area for one day, otherwise I would definitely use her again”
About: I have had a love for a animals since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies when they are gone. I keep them posted to allow them peace of mind when they are not around. I am a teacher and get off at 2:15. I am available after that. During the summers I am available all day. I can do almost anything on the weekends. I have a fenced in back yard with two other dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate them also if needed. I will walk them and play with them during the day to keep them happy.
About: As a Family I’ve been taking care of pets for over 40 years. We took in bunnies, parakeets, dogs, cats. Especially close to my heart are senior pets. I am retired but help out with school drop off and pick up for my grandkids and watch them when they are out of school. They are all pet lovers and respectful of pets. I have a fenced in backyard and an elderly dog who loves spending time with other dogs I also go to friends and relatives houses to take care of their pets.
About: I’ve had and taking care of many dogs over the years, I have extensive experience with elderly dogs and puppies alike. My own dog lived a very happy life and recently passed at 16. I am eager to have dogs to care for again. I currently work close to home and my partner is working from home. Ben would be free to walk the dog when needed throughout the day and let them out whenever they needed to go out. We are both home at night! Ben is home all day and we are both generally home all night! I work for the school system, so I will be out of work mid afternoon each day. We did Rover for many months without a fenced in yard or a house so we are excited to be able to give dogs a place to run around!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Half Moon on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of June 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 Half Moon 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 169 sitters in Half Moon, 93% 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.
