“Hannah was prompt when picking up the boys. Excellent communication. The boys were tired when they got home. Looked as if they all enjoyed themselves. Thank you Hannah! Look forward to using your services again.”
“Becca is our dogs' best friend! We hadn't seen her in 3 months (pandemic) and as soon as we got out of the car at her house, our dogs ran right up the stairs to go into her house! I could tell they were excited to see her and she was equally excited to see them. I trust her 100% with my pups.”
“Gretchen was absolutely amazing with our dog, Molly. This was our first time using Rover, and naturally we were a little nervous leaving her with someone new, especially because Molly can be anxious and has a few special considerations. Gretchen immediately put us at ease. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making Molly feel safe and comfortable in her home. We received updates and could tell Molly was being genuinely cared for, not just watched. Gretchen was also very patient with Molly’s quirks and made the entire experience stress-free for us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive.”
“Our puppy loves going to Kerri’s house. He even whined and cried when we got there and she hadn’t made it outside fast enough for his 15 second attention span. 😂 He just loves going to her house. Hops right out of the car and never looks back.”
“Brianna was able to help out with last minute dog day care for our new rescue! She responded quickly and was easy to schedule with. Our boy had a great time making new friends and was ready for a nap when we got home! Made us feel so much better that he had someone to hang out with while we worked, would recommend!!”

Our neighborhood is quiet and great for walks. I usually board at my home in Nashville (Near Rocky Mount and Spring Hope) but I also have a location in Raleigh that is also a big home with a large backyard and two separate floors. For sitting, I would likely stay with the pet most of the day as I work remotely.I do require high-speed internet access and preferably a decent work desk area.

Each animal that I care for is like my own pet. We keep them secure in a fenced yard for dogs. We have space inside and have set up a rabbit fencing area with cage. Your pets will be safe and happy while they board with us! I am currently a home school mom with 3 children ages 5-10. My oldest child helps care for pets as well as playing, feeding and walking pets. We can care for pets any day of the week. We have a female puppy who is active and ready to play with your furbaby. We can also crate and provide a quiet space for your fur kid as well. You do not need to provide a crate unless you have multiple pets and want them to be separated. Visiting clients houses will include a lot of love and care with treats (if allowed in their diet). My 10 year old daughter loves to help walk dogs and play with animals of all kinds.
“The best daycare day for my pups! I have two anxious animals but they were at ease with Arden and had the chillest, most fun day. They get their attachment issues honestly...I was nervous too but dropped them off feeling confident for their safety and good time. Vegas met a friend, Lucy found a comfy place to relax....they'll definitely be back!”
“Paige was WONDERFUL! Very communicative and personable. She asked that I come 15–20 minutes early to discuss Dakota's routine, ask any questions, and tour her home and backyard. It made me feel super comfortable, and I appreciated her willingness to help. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: 8 years of experience in dog care and basic training. We go for walks, to the dog park. At my house I have a fairly large field with a fence and I am always with them. I don't have cages, if you want them to sleep in their cage for training, you will have to bring it. Every day I get up at 6 am, go for a walk and do routines at home. I work from home although sometimes I have to go out for an appointment. When I take care of dogs, I like to do activities with them, teach them tricks, basic training skills and obedience. I have a fenced yard and 3 very friendly and sociable dogs who have all their vaccinations up to date. Whenever we go out, they are on a leash.
About: Hi I am Suzanne! I have cared for many dogs throughout the years of both friends and family members who are traveling out of town. I have a genuine love for dogs and will do everything within my power to foster a warm, inviting home away from home for your dog. I have experience walking, feeding, crating, and playing with dogs of many different breeds. I am the right home away from home for your pup if he/she loves being around attentive, nurturing family with children. I am a homeschool mom of three children, aged 6, 9, and 11. As a homeschool mom, I am home a large majority of the time. I am available and present weekdays and weekends to care for and spend quality time with your pup! Any pup in our home will be well-loved, played with, cuddled, and attended to in a kind, gentle way! While I am home, your pup will be able to freely wander our downstairs area and screened in porch. At bedtime and when I have to leave the house, I will crate your pup. I have a large yard and a great neighborhood to walk your dog frequently. I have a screened in porch for your pup to lounge in on beautiful days and a large downstairs area to ensure your dog has a comfortable place to stay and an indoor place to play ball and snuggle. I can accommodate small and medium dogs who are crate-trained. For fully-potty trained dogs, I have a downstairs area that I can safely accommodate smaller pups who are not crate-trained.
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”
About: Experienced pet sitter with a customer service mindset. Having worked in an emergency Veterinary Hospital here in Utah, a Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Colorado and on a sheep farm as well, where I trained dogs for sheep herding races. Although I no longer have pets of my own I still love spending time with and interacting with animals. I understand that each animal has its own personality, whether they are extremely excited or like to be left alone and in their own space, I can easily adapt. I consider myself to be very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I am comfortable administering medication, as needed, taking animals to veterinary appointments, bathing, walking and cleaning up after animals. Can't wait to meet your and all your awesome animals!
“Maria was wonderful with my little Lexi. Lexi stayed overnight and Maria made sure she was comfortable and so did her husband. She sent me pics and made a video ..I was nervous about leaving Lexi with anyone as this was my first overnight exp.. going away on a cruise and wanted Lexi to spend the night so she knew I would be. coming back. Will be using Maria for my upcoming vacation. Highly recommend her. She is wonderful and very caring .”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Middlesex
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Middlesex is $31 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $31 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 967 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Middlesex. 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 Middlesex 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.
As of November 2026, there are 967 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NC. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
