“We have been using Elizabeth & Kevin for about a year now. We moved here temporarily while our house is being built & I’m so sad that we’ll be too far away to use their services when we move. They have been a godsend! We have used both their daycare & boarding services & I feel extremely comfortable with both. They are super sweet & treat my baby as if he’s their own. Ryder is super attached to us so I always feel so bad leaving him but it helps so much to know that he’s well taken care of loved on while we’re away. They always send tons of photos & videos so I’m always assured he’s having a great time. I can’t thank Elizabeth & Kevin enough for the peace of mind they provide to us. They are THE BEST!!!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for 6 years, but they’ve been my biggest passion since I was little. I have a certification in dog training, have taken a first aid class, and have experience with all kinds of pups! Dogs are my full-time job, which means your pup gets all of my time and attention! My day revolves around the care of my furr-ends! I have a fenced in yard and have a room in my home dedicated to the care of my clients! I have large comfy kennel spaces for each of my guests but if your pup happens to be social and non-destructive I would allow them to free-roam!
“We were visiting relatives and needed someone to take care of our peach. Ana did a great job for two nights. We were able to relax while enjoying our family without worrying about how peach was doing. Thanks Ana I recommend her if you need someone.”
About: I am a total dog lover! My husband and I rescued our dog Roscoe almost 6 years ago. He is one of the most spoiled dogs I know and is a huge mama’s boy. We enjoy hiking together, and going on walks and for runs along the local greenways in Charlotte and in the neighborhood. He enjoys having other dogs to play with and we pet sit for a few friends and neighbors when they go on vacation, having their dog come and spend time in our home. They always get excited when I pick them up and go home tired from all our walks and outdoor play in our fenced in yard. I send pictures and updates daily. We love spending time playing with other dogs, especially Roscoe! I’m a special education teacher and my husband works in the restaurant business, so he’s home most days and I’m home after school and evenings. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, playful dog to keep your fur baby active. We are happy to crate your dog when we are not here/at night if this is what they’re used to. Otherwise, we block the stairs off when we need to leave with Roscoe upstairs and your pet downstairs.

We also have experience working as a dog bather as well as having dog sat previously. one of us currently works part time leaving mornings and nights available for any walks and feeding need. The other works occasionally and is there when needed. weekends we a both available. We live on a dead end so not many cars pass by. We also have 1 senior dog who is small and tranquil. There is lots of room in the house for dogs to have plenty of space if they would like.
“Sheila was awesome with my dog Walter. She was very patient and eager to learn about him and his quirks. She was very patient and gave Walter time to acclimate to the environment slowly. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pup!!”
“Tina has been great with our dogs. She was very helpful and responsive in answering our questions prior to the booking. She is a very caring dog lover and asked detailed questions in getting to know our dogs and their specific needs. Her house is very clean and welcoming. Our dogs had a great time!”
“Sandra is very communicative and reliable! Bingo had a great visit for daycare with her. She sent many pics and videos so I knew he was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!!”
“Dana was the best! She was flexible with our schedule and sent multiple updates throughout the day. Milo had a great day playing in her backyard with the other dogs she had and came home tired and happy!!”
About: I am retired, have trained and shown dogs for over fifty years, live in a condo with one sheltie and one cat. I like to sit ONE dog at a time so it can have special one on one attention. Special arrangements can be made with two dogs that are from the same family. My floors are tile and I sterilize them between visits. I do NOT have a fenced yard but we have a 20 x 80 fenced dog run right outside my back door and we walk every two to three hours and once during the night. Since I am retired, I can be with your dog 24/7 with small exceptions. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I do insist that dogs be house trained and crate trained since we feed in crates or crate them if I have to be away. If you want personal care and attention for your dog, we would love to supply that service. We do NOT do meet and greets. We find that those brief encounters simply put stress on my dogs and yours. I take about an hour when a dog has arrived to acclimate him safely and comfortably. I only care for small dogs, under 30 pounds, and no puppies. Since I am retired, my schedule is pretty much staying around the house. There are no children and things are pretty quiet most of the time.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Park
Kristian is amazing. She watched 2 of our dogs and what a great experience. She was loving and patient with our 1 dog that is very shy and my pup let herself be pet which usually doesn’t happen until a few visits. We recd pictures several times as well as videos and updates letting us know all was going great. I highly recommend Kristian- just wow !!
Summer took wonderful care of my puppy, Bailey 🐾! She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, which made me feel so comfortable leaving Bailey in someone else's care for the first time. Throughout the day, Summer kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was happy and doing well. Communication was excellent from both drop-off to pick-up, and she took the time to learn about Bailey's routine and needs so she could provide the best possible care. I truly appreciated the love and attention Bailey received, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Summer again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Fantastic care and caregiver! I was so happy to have met Dorriann, she helped me out in a last minute pinch and has become our go to. Her Izzy welcomed our pup into her home with no problem. I would highly recommend Dorriann to anyone who wants their dog in a safe and loving space, whether it be for hours or longer. 10 stars!

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 Lake Park 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 1,593 sitters in Lake Park, 85% 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.
