“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 have two male dachshunds. I have had the. since they were puppies. I had three, but my oldest passed away on Dec. 16, 2025. He was 13 years old and I have had him since I was 21 years old. My second oldest is 12 years old and the youngest is 4 years old. The dogs are allowed on furniture. We have ramps to help them onto the couch and they have a nice ramp up to a comfy window bed area. Our dogs love sleeping there and looking out the window. I am used to dogs with health issues. My oldest dog, Odie, had a very sensitive stomach and had to have a strict diet or he got pancreatitis. Our youngest has had back surgery and was paralyzed and slowly regained mobility. Taking care of dogs with health issues is not a problem for me. When booking with me. Let me know about your pets personality. Be specific with eating schedule. We have a big backyard that is perfect for exploring and running around. When the dogs get hot, we have a small pool that my dog Oscar loves to jump in to cool off. I am 35 years old and live with my husband, 40 years old. We have 2 kids. I taught Elementary School for 12 years and beginning 2026 resigned to stay home with my youngest. I will be home all day to make sure your dog is loved on and gets plenty of outside time. My dogs have a ramp leading up to the window where they also sleep on a platform. The perfect spot for small dogs to look out the window and sleep. I have 5 dog beds. Plenty to pick from. I do allow dogs on the couch. If it's okay with you. We have a BIG backyard and your dog will get lots of loves at my house. We are big dog lovers. I live with my husband and two children. I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old who are gentle with dogs. My 6 year old actually has her own dog. The youngest dachshund, Jack, is hers. They have a great bond and he always sleeps in her bed at night. Oscar likes to sleep in our bed.
“I can safely say that out of all, Summer stood out the best. She was polite, timely and easy to work with. Highly recommend here and will absolutely use her services if we are in the area again!!!”
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.
“Luette had an absolute BLAST with Donna, she was extremely communicative & Luette was pooped when she came home which is exactly what we needed. We will be using Donna again!”
About: I’m new to rover, but I’m anything but new to pet care! I grew up taking care of all sorts of animals — goats, ferrets, guinea pigs, lizards, you name it! And in the last ten years, I’ve unintentionally built up quite a resume with pet sitting just because of my passionate love for animals. I am many pet owners’ go-to for pet sitting because they trust me to take care of their fur babies in the exact way they would, so you can trust me too:) My husband currently provides the only source of income for us, so my goal with Rover is to turn my pet sitting hobby into a little bit of extra income for us. Since I have no other job, I am free as a bird with an open and flexible schedule! I can easily adapt to your schedule and your pets’ needs:) I can easily provide whatever is needed for your pet. Your pet can run freely inside or be crated to your preference. The only thing I can’t provide is a fenced in yard, but our yard is huge and far from neighbors, and I have a totally free schedule to walk and entertain your pet however much you’d like. If I am coming to your home, you can trust me to follow whatever directions you have. You can also trust me to never take on more pets than I can handle just for the sake of the money, because my main objective is to provide excellent care above all else! We have one medium-sized dog, but he stays with “grandma and grandpa” while I am pet sitting unless of course you request for your pet to have some company!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years, including my own dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, turtles, and more. Friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, board, and love their pets as if they were my own. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and my commitment to giving each pet a tailored experience. I pay close attention not just to their needs but also to their unique personalities and preferences whether that means a long walk, playtime, or extra snuggles. I’m comfortable with everything from puppy energy to senior care and make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I work from home and have an open schedule, so pet care is part of my daily routine. I let dogs play in my fenced yard, take them on neighborhood walks, and provide plenty of attention, feeding, and playtime throughout the day. My own Goldendoodle also loves having furry friends around to keep her company. I have a safe, fenced backyard and live in a pet-friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks. My 30-pound Goldendoodle is gentle and loves every dog she meets. Pets in my care are never left alone for long, and I can crate if needed. My husband and children also enjoy helping, so your pet will always have love, company, and supervision. UNLESS you require your dog to not be around other dogs. I can accommodate that as well.
“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.”
“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!”
“Chlo’e got an abundance of attention she was herself. She can be a diva sometimes. Happy for her. She has a safe place when we are in Charlotte. Dana took her last minute for boarding care, for me to be with my new grandbabies. Forever thankful for that. Most sitters want notice before booking understandable, these trips last few weeks was not scheduled trips. Grandbabies were ready to make their grand debu. Thank you Dana.”
About: Most of my life I have had pets, I love having them with me, play with them and give them affection and love. For me they are part of the family and I treat them like children. I have enough time to dedicate myself to them and take care of them as they deserve. When you leave me in their care, I dedicate myself to their exclusive care so that they are protected. I always keep them with me where I am safely and inside my house. When I'm with them, they are my priority. Having them by my side fills me with tranquility and company.
About: I have my own pets and I have been babysitting animals since I was a kid. I have taken care of family and friends pets. I've also made friends at the dog park that have asked me to babysit. My dog loves other animals and is super social. I like long walks with my puppers. Please reach out regarding boarding and babysitting costs if you have more than 1 dog. I will be available on the holidays! I am available Monday - Sunday. Let me know if you'd like to do a meet and greet beforehand. I try to be sure I put everything back in place and clean up after messes. I want to make sure your pets are having fun and feel comfortable!

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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lake Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake Park on Rover is $38.15 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,604 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lake Park. 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 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 1,604 sitters in Lake Park, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
