“We booked two daycare visits with Chelsea with short notice. She came back both days SUPER tired from playing with Jack. It sounds like everything went smoothly, and we're happy to have found Chelesa to look after Remi for us! We're confident and comfortable leaving Remi with Chelsea the next time we need it!”


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.
“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!!!”

“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.”

“Absolutely the best!!!! My pups were well taken care of. I received wonderful photos well me and hubby were out attending a birthday celebration for our two grandchildren two hors away. I highly recommend and will definitely use again if before September. Since they are making a move to Texas. We wish them well and really wish they were staying and had used them sooner. Thank you for loving our babies.”


“I had a great experience with LeNai. She was thorough during the intake, giving me a full tour and taking the time to get to know my dogs and their individual quirks. Rocko can be an anxious dog, but she took it in stride and was very patient with him. She gradually introduced him to other dogs safely and calmly, and was able to pick up on behavioral cues very well. She sent many photos and videos throughout the day to let me know they were doing well. I will most definitely use her services again.”

“My pup spent the day with Leslie and her family, and she came home happy and exhausted, which is a great thing. I love receiving little videos or photos of how Gabbi is doing, it helps when I can see her in the environment. Thanks for a great visit, Leslie!”

“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 am retired, have trained and shown dogs for over fifty years, live in a condo with one sheltie and one cat. I like to sit ONE dog at a time so it can have special one on one attention. Special arrangements can be made with two dogs that are from the same family. My floors are tile and I sterilize them between visits. I do NOT have a fenced yard but we have a 20 x 80 fenced dog run right outside my back door and we walk every two to three hours and once during the night. Since I am retired, I can be with your dog 24/7 with small exceptions. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I do insist that dogs be house trained and crate trained since we feed in crates or crate them if I have to be away. If you want personal care and attention for your dog, we would love to supply that service. We do NOT do meet and greets. We find that those brief encounters simply put stress on my dogs and yours. I take about an hour when a dog has arrived to acclimate him safely and comfortably. I only care for small dogs, under 30 pounds, and no puppies. Since I am retired, my schedule is pretty much staying around the house. There are no children and things are pretty quiet most of the time.

About: Amo a las mascotas sobretodo los perros, sé que no son niños pero los trato tal cual respetuosa y cuidadora, me he criado con una mascota en casa desde mi infancia, mi primera mascota era un Rottweiler llamada Danger, ella era una belleza de perro, era grande e imponente, mi hermano y yo la entrenamos al punto que salía a caminar sin leash en la calle, acataba todas las ordenes que le dabamos, era muy inteligente. Al pasar de los años cuando conocí a mi esposo, el ya tenía un perro, era un poodle llamado Blacky el se convirtió rápidamente en mi bebe el no tenía muchos habitos de entrenamiento y con el pasar del tiempo le fui enseñando cosas básicas, como sentarse, dar la pata y caminar al lado sin que saliera corriendo sin leash, el falleció hace un par de años, su perdida fue muy dura de verdad. Y no hemos tenido más perros por los momentos, pero amigos y vecinos me han dado sus perros con lo ojos cerrados porque saben que los cuido muy bien, soy muy respetuosa y cariñosa, lo más importantes es que siempre busco de enseñarle algún truco, en mis fotos podrán ver algunos perros que he tenido cuidando varios dias, tengo a Toby que aparece en mi foto de perfil parecido a mi perro Blacky a Mila una cachorra hermosa, y luna una viejita hermosa. me gusta jugar con ellos y darle mucho amor. 🐕🦺Tener una mascota es mucha responsabilidad amor y paciencia. Estoy comenzando en esta app Rover formalmente y me gustaría cuidar a tu peludito. 🤗🐶 Actualmente trabajo por mi cuenta y estoy la gran parte de las veces en casa. Podría usar una parte de mi tiempo para visitar a tu mascota y recargar las energía con ella. Tengo un jardín súper grande y tengo bastante espacio para jugar con el o ella. Tambien en la urbanización puedo darle varias vueltas y conozcan la zona
“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’ve been working with dogs for 6 years, but they’ve been my biggest passion since I was little. I have a certification in dog training, have taken a first aid class, and have experience with all kinds of pups! Dogs are my full-time job, which means your pup gets all of my time and attention! My day revolves around the care of my furr-ends! I have a fenced in yard and have a room in my home dedicated to the care of my clients! I have large comfy kennel spaces for each of my guests but if your pup happens to be social and non-destructive I would allow them to free-roam!
“Nathalie was awesome with Teddy . She and her dog echo were very welcoming to Teddy and he clearly enjoyed being there. She took videos and constantly kept in communication with me. Thank you again. Will definitely book again.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - New Salem
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,301 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across New Salem. 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 Salem 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 1,301 sitters in New Salem, 86% 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.
