Kerri and her husband are amazing dog sitters. They sent me pictures and videos during the day and I could see that Ollie had a great time. I highly recommend Kerri and will bring Ollie back when I need another doggy day care.

This was the first time for my dogs, Phoebe and Freddie, with Sonia at her daycare. I love the fact that she kept me informed as to how they were doing. I even got pictures of my dogs with their new friends. Sonia’s husband also gave me so pointers on how to keep Phoebe from pulling on leash. Phoebe and Freddie were exhausted when they got home! They will definitely be going back. Thank you, Sonia and Jeff!

Booked last minute when previous sitter backed out night before doggy day care was to begin. They also have dogs which worked out even better since my pup loves to play. This family is my “go to” when I come up to visit. Can’t thank them enough for helping us for this New Year holiday.

About: I have grown up with dogs in the house (6) since I was a child! I have had 2 small dogs (a Pomeranian and a Shorkie) for 8 years and they get tired of each other so they love making new dog friends! I work from home so have the ability to be around your dog(s) 24/7! I work from home Monday - Friday and not mandatory to go into the office though I do love to go on Tuesdays but can miss it if you need your dog watched! I have 2 very friendly dogs to keep your dog(s) company and entertained! I don’t have a fenced in back yard yet but I have the capability to take them on walks and have a large townhome where they have space to roam and I can even crate your dog if you’d like but I let mine on the couch and sleep in bed with me!

About: I have grown up with and taken care of snakes, bunnies, hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, chickens a tarantula and a ferret. I have raised 5 puppies including a yellow Labrador, 2 Australian Shepherds, a Great Dane/Black Lab and a 1 year old Rescue Hound Mix with one eye. I have cared for a Senior Dog and 2 Senior Cats. I treat every animal with love, care & respect just like my own. Pet Care is my #1 job! I can try to be available for boarding your animal at my home, As Long As they are crate trained and enjoy sleeping and staying in their crate overnight or for short daytime breaks. I would prefer drop in visits. I have 3 dogs that live with me FT, and no extra room for a visiting pup to sleep in my bed. Typically have time for 3 drop-in visits per day, sometimes 4 if necessary. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Exercise, Attention and Nutrition are the 3 most important ways I care for my own pets and my clients. Safety is also extremely important. I have a large 1 acre fenced in backyard at my own home. Always use a harness and a leash for walks or outings. I will make sure your pet is feeling loved, safe and fed with plenty of scratches & snuggles (if they like that), walks or outdoor play, fresh water and food and comfort.

Sharon was wonderful! She was flexible and was able to meet all of my dogs needs while at daycare . She went above and beyond to make sure he was not only comfortable, but happy. She sent numerous pictures throughout the day highlighting my dog lounging and going for walks throughout the neighborhood. He also received his mid day medication without hesitation. I am truly appreciative of the time and care provided by Sharon. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone in the wake forest area.

Ivy is an awesome sitter! She is communicative and sends multiple updates through the day; I love getting cute mid-play action pics! Her dog, Skylar, is just the cutest and is super friendly. My pup wasted no time warming up to her and playing right away. Will definitely book again ☺️

Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.

About: Whether you're heading out for a weekend or a longer trip, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I offer personalized dog sitting and comfortable home-based boarding where your pup will enjoy plenty of attention, daily walks, playtime, and a calm environment. With a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs, I treat every fur guest my own —because your fur baby deserves nothing less. Care for my fur guest fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home. This allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day, whether it's for feeding, potty breaks, walks, or just some comforting company. I’m able to maintain a calm and consistent environment where pets feel safe and cared for. Being home full-time means my fur guest will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adapt to their individual needs and routines. I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or special care instructions. My fur guest have access to cozy resting areas, safe indoor and outdoor spaces, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you always know how they are doing. My goal is to create a stress-free, happy stay that gives you peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

Best pet sitter ever!! Sylvia has provided daycare for our dog during weekdays over the summer and it has been such a wonderful experience. Our puppy is a high energy breed and requires tons of exercise. When we pick him up at the end of the day he is happy and exhausted! He even pulls towards her door when we drop him off in the mornings because he is so excited. Her dog Fitz Roy is very patient with our puppy and Sylvia sends us daily videos of them playing together which has been great. We couldn’t ask for a better situation to socialize our puppy while knowing he’s in great hands. To showcase Sylvia’s kindness and high level of care for our puppy even more, Sylvia and her husband offered to provide a higher level of care for our puppy after he recently obtained a sports injury playing frisbee with his owners (us). Placing him in somebody’s care is a huge deal to us, just as it would be for our child yet we trust Sylvia and her husband with our puppy. They are going above and beyond to make sure he has constant supervision and gets his meds etc. and that is saying something. Like all pet owners know, it is extremely important to make sure your pet is with the right “fit” and I am driving 3.5 hours round trip daily to take him to her place before and after work because I feel so strongly that Sylvia is trustworthy, responsible, caring and will go above and beyond to make sure our dog is looked after and loved!

About: I've cared for many dogs and cats of various breeds, ages and temperaments, I was a caregiver for an elderly woman in her 90s, I am confident in my care ability. I am available to care for your pet just as I care for mine daily. I currently work part time in the afternoons 12-6pm so your pet will not be left alone for longer than that. I ensure that their food is given on time twice a day and clean up any mess they may have made. I make sure my cats litter box is clean and they're clean.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - New Light

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in New Light on Rover is $32.64 per day (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,352 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across New Light. 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 New Light 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 1,352 sitters in New Light, 88% 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.
