Tracy and her dogs are so sweet and took great care of my pup! He was super excited to go back after the first day, and he came home very tired! I would definitely recommend Tracy!

Nicole and Telly are AMAZING!!!! They have helped me and my dogs through an incredibly stressful transition moving across country. They treat my dogs like part of the family! My girls look forward to spending their day with them and their dog Apollo. The dogs wrestle together, bask in the sunshine, roll in the yard and go on long walks. When I pick them up they are POOPED and sleep the whole 20 min back to the Airbnb that we are currently staying in. This is so helpful for one of my dogs who has massive anxiety issues, because she’s too tired to stress about all of the changes we’re going through. Nicole, Telly and their kids truly love animals and are fabulous caregivers! I feel so fortunate to have found them!🙏🏻

Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.

About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.

Michael & wife (Tracy, I think) were such a pleasant surprise considering I booked last minute. So accommodating and super sweet people. Amazing with dogs, as my baby is very skiddish and slow to warm but adopted easily in their home. The second day my dog came right up to Michael, excited and tail wagging. It was a huge relief. I booked last minute after a little crisis and was so thankful to have such good people take care of my dogs. There a little out of my way but I trust them 100% with my dog. Thank you again!

Totally amazing! My dog can be slow to warm up to new people but she was able to make him feel comfortable and safe from the first day. I really appreciated the updates as well, would rebook any time I need a sitter.

I am very impressed with Daniel! He and Bentley got along beautifully and Max proved to be a good doggie friend. Daniel has a very calm demeanor and sweet disposition- Bentley became attached immediately since he is rather calm. Daniel took exceptional care and responded quickly to my silly check-ins during the day. I highly recommend Daniel!

About: Ever since I was little I've preferred the company of pets over people. My first job was at petco as a sales associate then after in the grooming salon and there i blossomed into who I am now! Currently taking a break from work after my stroke and what better way to spend that down time than cuddling with your babies? My favorite thing to do is work with animals and it truly does not feel like work to me. I dont have a fenced in yard so all walks are on leash. I do have long lines for times they need to stretch their legs and will be adding seperated fenced in areas for the dogs to have some safe secure fun in the good weather times.

Eileen was a very pleasant lady and great with Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her, who had a good time with her dog. The fenced backyard was great for Daisy to roam around. I would recommend Eileen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have experience caring for family pets on a daily basis. Through feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and companionship, I’ve learned how to understand dogs’ needs and make them feel comfortable and safe. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends dogs on multiple occasions. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to treating every pet with the same care and patience I give my own dogs. I’m currently a college student with a part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. When I’m not in class or at work, I’m usually home and available for walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I’ll always communicate my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them plenty of attention. I grew up with dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for them and know that every pet is different. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always treated them with all love and care. Dogs and cats both and all kinds. I am a college student using my free time to care for animals, so in between classes, after, and before I’ll be using my time to dog walk, etc. How I care for my pets at home is by giving them attention by playing with them, taking them on long enjoyable walks, making sure they are eating the best and are healthy.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I understand the routines, personalities, and little quirks that make each dog unique. Being a lifelong dog mom means I’ve handled everything — feeding schedules, exercise needs, training basics, medication routines, and plenty of love. I’m very active, so your dog will enjoy engaging walks, outdoor time, and fun play sessions that match their energy level. Whether they’re a high‑energy adventurer or a slow‑paced stroller, I make sure every outing is safe, stimulating, and tailored to their comfort. At home, I’m all about affection. Snuggles, belly rubs, ear scratches, and kisses are part of the daily routine. I create a warm, cozy environment where dogs feel secure, loved, and completely at ease. My goal is always to make your pup feel like they’re part of my family while you’re away. I’m a stay‑at‑home mom, which means my schedule is wide open and fully flexible. I’m home throughout the day and able to care for puppies and dogs anytime. Whether you need last‑minute help, daytime care, or consistent weekly support, I’m available and ready to give your pup all the attention, playtime, and snuggles they need. Your pup will have a blast here- a fenced yard to run and play. Have a sweet fur baby here to keep them company and help feel right at home. It’s a fun, safe, and social environment full of wagging tails. I’m also happy to stay in your home if your pup feels more comfortable in their own environment. I provide the same loving care, snuggles, playtime, and attention right where they feel safest. To help maintain their routine and provide consistent, reliable care. This option can help reduce stress and keep your fur baby in a familiar, comfortable space.

Chad was very accommodating to our variable timeline. He was super responsive, and sent updates during our dogs visit at his house. Our dog had so much fun being able to go in and out of the doggy door and play in the backyard!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - North

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 210 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across North. 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 North 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 SC 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 210 sitters in North, 81% 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.

With Rover, you can find a trustworthy, loving pet sitter to take care of your dog while you're at work or have a day full or errands. Stays are booked on Rover every minute of every day, and more than 92% of the population lives within a short drive of one of the more 40,000 sitters who've listed their services on Rover. That way, you're sure to find a doggy day care who's right for your needs. We're proud that 95% of our sitters have 100% 5-star reviews, and we think your dog will love them too. Search for a sitter who offers doggy day care, schedule a Meet & Greet, and book the stay if it seems like a good fit. No matter how often you need day care, you're sure to find a sitter who will treat your dog like family.
