Valerie was wonderful with my pup. She sent updates and kept me informed as to how my pup did while he was with her. Her home and yard were safe and appropriate for pet sitting. I am very thankful that we found her to care for our boy.

Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!

Desi was able to dog sit at her place near Boone on very short notice allowing me to attend a non dog friendly event. My dog had a great time exploring the property and meeting other friendly dogs. I would definitely work with Desi again as she is prompt, has clear availability and clearly loves dogs!

Helena was quick and thorough with communication. She went above and beyond to help Dakota feel comfortable. It is evident how much Helena loves dogs and wants them to feel at home. I felt very comfortable leaving my senior pup with her.

About: I treat every pet as if they are my own. I have grown up with dogs and have my own. I’ll sent photos and updates and I am quick to respond. I work from home so I can hang out all day with them, take walks during the day, cuddles, play time, etc. I will make sure they are loved and taken care of. If they are having a sleepover, I have a yard beside my house I can let them run and I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them.** I have a dog of my own that LOVES new friends and to play. He is featured in my profile. If boarding at my house, dog has to get along** I’m also available to come let out and take your dog(s) on a walk throughout the day.

About: I have always had either a cat or dog. I recently had to say goodbye to our cat and lost my dachshund about 2 years ago. My son and I are not ready to get another pet of our own but, we would like to take care of your pet as we would our own. I have always been the "go to" trusted person for many of my friends for pet sitting. I enjoy being active and outdoors as much as possible. I usually go for a walk or run first thing in the morning and would love to have a buddy for that. I am also open to dogs that are older and need some extra time and attention. My Daschund had seizures for the last couple years of life so, I have experience with some senior dog issues. I work from home every day so, I can spend a lot of time with your pet. My schedule is very flexible so, I can scheduled in walk(s) and potty breaks throughout the day for in home and care at my home. I live in a very safe townhouse community with an ideal low traffic area for walks. I live very close to several parks. I have a screened in back porch and a small fenced in yard with grass. I am flexible and willing to do works best to keep your pet safe and happy.

About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

About: my name is Ryan, and I’m a social worker and work through Rover. I grew up around dogs my entire life, and I currrently have a dachshund mix that I adore and spoil. My goal is to make sure your dogs get the best care possible. Each dog is different, so if you have any special requests to best fit their individualized needs, please let me know. I love taking dogs to the beach, parks, and trails throughout Wilmington. My schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what works best for your schedule. And I will make sure I’m able to help with services. I make sure dogs feel comfortable and at home. If I notice they are stressed, I will sit with them for a few minutes and then take them on a walk to get some energy out. If there’s anything specific your dog likes to feel more comfortable, let me know and I’ll take that into consideration. I will also give them my 100 percent undivided attention and all the pets and belly rubs they want!

About: Hailing from an animal loving family, I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I've worked with small and large, young and old, male and female, loud ones, quiet ones lol, playful, not so playful haha. I have one current furchild and best child, Sunny, who is very friendly and outgoing with all walks of life. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. During the summer I work some local farmers markets but most of the time I am home hanging with Sunny, going on an adventure with him, or doing a photo shoot either in my home studio or on location in the area. Bonus, I can take a professional photo of your baby in my home studio! I have a huge fenced in backyard perfect for zoomies and playing and my neighborhood, in general, is extremely dog friendly with plenty of walking trails. With your consent, I'm also happy to take your pup to the beach, for a pup cup, to the dog park, or any other suitable adventure. I have two large crates if needed and treats, toys, and balls galore.

Yueqian is very professional and experienced in taking care of dogs. Wren spent a wonderful time at the dog park with Yueqian and her three dogs, and enjoyed a walk in another park as well. Yueqian also sent me some photos of Wren to give me an update. When I picked up Wren, she looks happy, showing no signs of separation anxiety even though it was her first daycare experience. I highly recommend Yueqian for anyone looking for a caring and professional dog daycare service. Thank you for taking such great care of Wren!

Radar had a great day with Desi and her very cute pup posse. Desi was very open about showing me her home and yard where the dogs would be. She introduced her dogs to Radar one at a time and was very mindful to make me feel comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. Desi has great dog energy and sent me photos and videos. I will definitely call on Desi for dog care in the future!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Kure Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Kure Beach on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 296 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Kure Beach. 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 Kure Beach 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 296 sitters in Kure Beach, 87% 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.
