“Kate was amazing! She was able to get us in last minute and my dog absolutely loved her (she sent pics of the puppy kisses). My dog came home happy (Kate even brought her home!) And tired from all her adventures. I was so nervous to leave my pupper with someone new, but Kate sent lots of pictures and my dog was clearly comfortable with her! Will absolutely use her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my 3-year-old Goldendoodle and 8-year-old Golden Retriever. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving both energetic and senior dogs the attention they need. I’m flexible and able to work around most schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays with advance notice, and I’ll always communicate clearly to confirm timing before each booking. When your pet is with me, you can expect consistent care, attention, and safety, including walks, playtime, feeding, and water checks exactly as instructed, along with a calm and patient approach for all dog personalities and energy levels. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing, and I treat every dog like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority at all times. I provide a calm, secure, and supervised environment where dogs are never left unattended during care, and I always follow owner instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable, whether they’re energetic or more laid-back. I also keep a clean environment and make sure pets are always in a safe space during visits or stays.
About: Before bringing a dog into your family it is important to know how to take care of them. You need to provide love and affection and kindness. They are treated like family members. I enjoy playing with them in the backyard or in the house. Love to take them for walks if that is what is preferred. Keeps us both healthy. I love cuddling with them on the couch and petting them. They are such great company and love the loyalty they provide. I love all kinds of dogs they are smart and curious little guys. They must be taken to a vet to keep up with their shots and health. I don't like to feed them from the table and I always read articles on what is or what isn't good for them. I am home and I can be with your pet 24/7. I enjoy sitting and cuddling with the fur babies and sometimes my grandson who is 18 comes to visit he loves animals and just plays with them and will cuddle with them. I usually give the pet free range of the home and they usually love the freedom. I also allow them to watch tv dog shows. Lol
“I would HIGHLY recommend Norma to care for your fur baby. You'll immediately feel at ease with her. She was so easy to work with on arrangements and superb with communication.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life! I would love to take care of your baby’s for you and treat them like my own! I have taken care of dogs & cats at every age and other animals. I don’t have a full-time job right now, so I have time to take care of animals when people need my help when they can’t. I’ve treated every animal as if they were my child. I would do the same whether yours is at my house or I stop in and check on them at yours. I always say I would hate someone forever if they ever let my cat out the door..so you can trust me with your animal!
“I booked Nickeyias for doggy daycare and she took amazing care of my Bintley. He felt completely comfortable with her and her family from the start, and she treated him like he was part of her family. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed his day. I already scheduled his next visit — highly recommend!”
“She was very communicative. Sent lots of pictures and videos. When an issue arose, she handled it perfectly and communicated what happened and we established a plan for if it should come up again.”
“Such an awesome experience from first contact to drop-off and pickup! Dennise is absolutely amazing - so helpful, caring, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. I won’t hesitate to book our little guy with her again. Highly recommend! Thank you so much, Dennise!”
About: I have lifelong experience with dogs, caring for both my own and others’ pets since childhood. My experience includes providing attentive care to elderly dogs, particularly during my time with my aging corgi. While I love dogs of all ages, I understand the unique needs of senior dogs and am committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. Unfortunately, we cannot accept pit bulls or Staffordshire terriers. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to tailor my schedule to your dog’s needs and level of activity. I can provide exceptional care for your pet because I will be home all day during the work week. I am especially good at following your instructions. I have been been taking a walk every day for years and would love to take your dog with me.
“Alicia & Don are a sweet and very nice couple. They took care of my sweet boy and he was very happy. They keep me update and sent me pics of my boy. I am so happy o was able to find a nice family to take care of my boy when I need it.”
“She was wonderful and so adaptable to my dog’s needs! Sent lots of pictures and videos. My pup was so happy when I picked him up. Because of her great care, we have decided to book with her for reoccurring daycare each week!”
“Stevie and Moose loved staying at Catherine’s house for day care. This was their first time but definitely not the last. Catherine is very communicative and we appreciated that. Thank you to Catherine and her daughter for such a great care of ours dogs ❤️.”
About: I had dogs growing up and got our own rescue dog 6 years ago. I prefer older dogs who like a quiet home. I understand dogs that every dog has their own quirks and embrace that. I work from home so am always around minus trips to the gym or errands. Morning breakfast, several potty breaks. Dinner at anytime that suits the pup. I have a 10 year old grumpy rat terrier/chi mix. He seems scary at first but once we can sniff another dog he calms down and coexists with other calm dogs just fine.

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 Locust 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
