“David was an absolutely superb sitter for our 6 month old German Shepherd puppy. Not only did he provide excellent care and stellar communication (we received multiple pictures of our puppy every day), but he went above and beyond to socialize her with other dogs and help her get over her separation and canine anxiety. She came back a different puppy -- playful, relaxed, and noticeably less anxious around other dogs. David was a godsend and we can't recommend him highly enough!”
“Amanda’s property is great for my active dog. Brandy enjoys playing, running and Jumping and this property has it. Brandy played with many dogs and came home all tuckered out. I will be booking Brandy again soon. I would recommend.”
About: I have a natural connection with dogs. I have owned dogs over the years, as a child and as an adult. I have been in contact with many breeds and I haven't met a dog that didn't like me or I didn't love. I would care for your pet as if they were my own. I'm reliable and attentive to your pets needs by showering them with love and affection. I have a happy home with many trails for walks and runs. I'm available most of the day and can accomodate most schedules. I currently have a small chiweenie (Dachshund-Chihuahua mix). She is spade and about 3 years old. She is a rescue dog. She is very well tempered and gets along with all dogs, big and small.
“David is fantastic! We had a last-minute dog sitter cancelation and wow did David come to the rescue. Our two dogs, one 6-month-old puppy and one super anxious 2-year-old spent the entire day over at David's, and honestly...I have never seen them happier from a doggy daycare pick-up! And we have done quite a few Rovers/daycares. The pups immediately loved David and his huge backyard. David was super responsive, asked for and delivered on our care instructions, and just provided an overall great booking/sitting experience. He will for sure be our go-to dog sitter from here on out!”

About: Hi, I have a passion for animals and I make sure they are well cared for! I go the extra mile to make sure they don’t feel sad while you are away. Hi! I am a mom of 3 and a nanny but I still pet sit. Sometimes I have to bring my kids and the kids I care for with me. I make sure they don’t damage anything. They are pampered with plenty of love! I treat them as part of the family and make sure to take pictures to send to the family.
“Zydae was wonderful from messaging to the Meet & Greet to the doggie daycare services. Our pup is a bit shy at first (stranger danger), so when she wagged her tail with Zydae and saw how they engaged together, we felt good about it :) As first time parents, Zydae communicated well throughout the day and sent photos and videos, which brought us so much joy since it was Ryn’s first drop-off ever! Huge plus that she has other pups to play with too. Would definitely book again. Thank you Zydae ?”
“Karla and her family are amazing, and care so much for our little boy. Within a few hours of our first day care stay, I knew Karla’s place would be a great spot for Koda’s weekly daycare. He has so much fun with Karla’s dog Dexter - he’s always as happy as can be when I pick it up. I highly recommend Karla for anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter for their pup!”

“Jade made time to meet us prior to watching Marvel. She's kind, attentive and responsive. She took care of him while I was at my office and Marvel will be spending two nights with Jade as well. It's nice to have someone you can rely on to take care of your fur baby! Thank you Jade”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 510 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across McDade. 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 McDade 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
