About: I have never had a dog of my own, but have plenty of experience around them! I have helped family and friends with their pets on many occasions. I am a stay at home mom and I don’t go anywhere often, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a large 2 story house and a fenced in area. I do have my 4 year old son and 5 year old girls at home until they go to school in August so your babies need to like kids! I have a cat, but she keeps to herself on the completely opposite side of my house from any other animals that come in. If going to someone else’s home, I will follow all instructions left for me, and take care of your home and pets as I do my own! 🩷
“Sandra is an amazing sitter! She took very good care of my dog Ruby, being very communicative, loving, and caring throughout the stay. I highly recommend her and will continue to book her for boarding.”
“Took excellent care of my two dogs even though it was a last minute request. They came back tired from all the fun they had, i would absolutely recommend and will definitely request again when im in town.”
About: Hi there! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I treat every pup like my own. I provide full time, round the clock care, playtime in a secure fenced yard, and a calm, loving home where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Prior to this, I spent years managing people and daily operations in my professional career, and I bring that same dependability, structure, and consistency into pet care. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs, whether it’s medication, special diets, or just extra affection. I’m home all day, every day, and I keep owners updated with photos, videos, and honest communication so you always know how your best friend is doing. My goal is simple: you leave worry free, and your dog leaves tail wagging and excited to come back. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. I do this full-time, so I’m home throughout the day to give dogs my full attention. My mornings start with walks in the neighborhood, feeding, and playtime. Throughout the day, I keep dogs active, comfortable, and supervised, with plenty of breaks, affection, and quiet time. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe and comfortable space where they get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and personality, creating a calm, positive environment that helps them settle in and feel loved while their owners are away.
“Our inaugural visit today was a great success! Riley was made to feel quite welcomed and it’s clear that Diana and Juan are happy to host our pup! Great communication, photos and videos! We’ll be back!”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages for the past 20 years. I have always used a very simple approach to dog sitting. A tired dog that is engaged is easy to take care of. My property has lots of things that will keep your dog curious and entertained. I have squirrels that run around in the trees and moles that leave chutes in the ground. Outside my fence you will often see rabbits, deer and the occasional opossum. Your dog will love the new smells and occasional sightings of these animals. For physical activity I have plenty of long stretches for play and ball chasing as well as some basic agility obstacles your dog may find interesting. My semi wooded lot has lots of sticks to chew on. Your pet will be included in walks around the neighborhood and my local park. Having recently retired from corporate America I am looking for things to keep me busy and make use of my love of pets and experience caring for them. I also recently lost my dog to cancer and while I am not quite ready to adopt a new dog I miss having one around. I do not have a 9-5 so except for the occasional errand I will be around for your pet full time. I take the responsibility of caring for your dog very seriously. I attach a tracking tag to the collar of every dog in my care as well as an extra layer of security. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have and rest assured you will not regret booking me for any of your pet needs. I am retired so with the exception of an errand I will be available to your pet full time. Pets are allowed on my furniture and bed. Please advise if this is a behavioral you are trying to discourage! Your pet will enjoy plenty of time outside and walks around my neighborhood and local park. I have a fenced in wooded acre. Your pet will be given free range of my home, but I will crate or contain them when I am away for their protection. I currently have no pets so your dog will receive my full attention.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little- training, grooming and understanding every wag and whine. I bring patience, love, and attention to detail, ensuring each dog feels safe, happy and well cared for like their part of my own family Pet care is part of my daily life- I take care of my Goldendoodle with morning walks, meals, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I make sure she is groomed, happy and healthy When I want to play with my goldendoodle, I usually take her out to the small dog park outside my house. It is a medium sized fenced in area where your dog can run around and there are doggy bags to pick up their poop.
“Sarah is incredibly kind and accommodating. We initially had a meet-and-greet as Sunny can be shy and wary of new environments but in this case, she was taken with Sarah right away. Sarah was very understanding of Sunny’s medical condition and was super attentive and encouraging with her, and I appreciated how she took great care to make Sunny feel comfortable and safe. I loved that Sarah communicated throughout the day and provided quality photos and video of how Sunny was doing. One other huge plus was the amount of outdoor space she had available to sniff and roam. We’ll definitely be back and I would highly recommend her services!”
“Gonzalo and his family are incredibly loving! You feel that warmth the second you step into their home. Pets run around happily like they own the place. Muffin was absolutely thrilled both times, playing right up until pickup. We loved getting their timely photo and video updates. We have found a home away from home for Muffin!”
About: I adore animals and their personalities. I have animals of my own! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats. 2 of my dogs are babies 8 months and 9 months old, 3 month old kitten. I’m up every morning walking feeding changing puppy pads as I’m in the process of potty training 2 puppies also in the process of litter box training my kitten. I try to stay on a routine especially for the animals, if that involves feeding medication exercise. My animals stay on a schedule every morning and every night.
“My Husky is so loved and well taken care of with Jennifer and Matthew. I work long days, and can trust that she's gotten all her zoomies out and is super happy when I pick her up. That's a huge relief for me knowing she gets her needs met while I'm working.”
“I would highly recommend Sara. She kept my pup while I worked all day and to ease my mind, she sent pics and video. She took very good care of my Carebear. He was so happy to play with her pups. I am booking again”
“Krystle was great with my last minute request. My pups came home happy and with a little treat! We wouldn't hesitate to book again when we are back in Charlotte. It was a great option for us to drop the dogs off before visiting Carowinds. She had a large backyard too for my dogs to lounge in the sun.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Hickory Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 552 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hickory Grove. 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 Hickory Grove 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 552 sitters in Hickory Grove, 86% 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.
