About: Hello! My name is Khara and I am a physician assistant who also has a love for animals. I have always had a passion for animals, but volunteering at my local animal shelter and having pets of my own doesn’t quite fill that void! I would describe myself as punctual, reliable, and an optimistic person overall. I have 10 years of dog sitting/watching/walking experience. Growing up I had one chocolate lab and I currently have one boxer/lab mix, as well as three cats. I have open availability. Let me know timing you need during the week and/or weekend. Just message me and I’ll ensure to make time for your pet :) I go on many walks alone, so I would be glad to take your fur baby with me! Hanging at home and playing inside is my favorite is well.
“Aubrea has been so wonderful! She responds quickly, is so sweet and patient with my dog, and you can tell she’s genuinely a sweet soul and loves animals. It’s also a plus my dog Gunner absolutely loves Aubrea’s dog Remi! Definitely book her for all your pup needs!!❤️”
About: Have always had a dog. Have fostered many puppies. My own dog was a shop dog and very well behaved. She is the perfect companion for any dog and would help them enjoy their stay. I am recently retired and have the time and energy to care for your dog along with my own. I am mostly home except for when I play tennis or go to the store. I live in a very dog friendly condo, pet stations, dog wash, etc... there is a green lawn area next to my building, as well as walking trails. Also live near Laurel Hill trails which is great place to walk dogs.
About: • Lifetime Dog Lover: I’ve had dogs for years and cared for many family dogs, so I understand their needs and quirks. • Professional Experience: I worked at a dog kennel where I cared for all kinds of breeds, and I loved every single part of it. • Compassionate Care: I’m patient, kind, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved. • Dedicated Attention: As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I can truly focus on your dog’s care and happiness. As a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to devote to caring for pets. I’m available throughout the day and week, which allows me to give consistent attention and love to the animals I watch. I do have a friendly, well-trained dog in my home who is very social and used to dogs staying with us. Safety is my top priority, and I always supervise introductions and interactions carefully. If needed, dogs can also be kept separated to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure their routines stay as consistent and comfortable as possible. In my home, I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely from feeding schedules to walks, playtime, and cuddles so their pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and make them feel happy, safe, and loved.
“We were traveling through the area and had a 1/2 day trip that our pup could not come on with us. Luceny responded quickly to my inquiry and we are so glad she did. She loved on my pup and sent us plenty of pictures while we were gone. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area!”
“Delia and her husband are great! They have become family to Lucy dog and I. They take care of Lucy at a moments notice. If I could give her 10 🌟 I would.”
“My puppy’s first day at Gaelle’s home was wonderful. He loved playing with the other dogs. There was opportunity for plenty of running in the backyard. Gaelle keeps a relaxed natural environment and there was a loving interaction between Gaelle and my pup. He came home healthy and happy!”
“Cannot say enough good things! Leigh Ann was so prompt with responding and helped me out with dog-sitting when I was in a bind. Her and her family are so sweet and took such great care of my fur baby- I know she had so much fun based on how pooped out she is now! Would 100% recommend and use again!”
“Nikki was so great! She worked with my hours, which were very early in the morning, and sent me lots of pictures and videos. My puppy is very shy but by day three she was running towards Nikki, so I know she takes care of her. It’s hard to trust strangers with your fur babies but it’s easy with Nikki. My puppy comes home happy and worn down from playing. Thank you Nikki for being so good to my girl.”

About: **Pets must be good with children** I’ve been caring for animals since childhood, from volunteering at shelters to fostering and rescuing pets. With experience in everything from administering medication to bathing and walking dogs, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I treat every pet like my own, offering meet & greets, daily updates, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to handle extras like checking mail, giving baths, or caring for small pets and exotics at no extra cost. Whether you have a playful pup, a senior dog with special needs, or other pets at home, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care and flexible scheduling to fit your needs. I look forward to spending time with your beloved companions! As a stay-at-home mother with a passion for animal welfare, I am seeking to provide pet owners with peace of mind through pet-sitting services. My toddler will likely accompany me on visits scheduled on weekdays or overnights. I am committed to promoting positive interactions between my child and animals, prioritizing safety for both. Please inform me if your pet has any known sensitivities or is not accustomed to interacting with children. When I'm house-sitting, I'll take care of your pets just like you do! They'll be happy knowing I'm there to love and look after them while you're away.
“This was my first time ever using Rover, Megan made it a very comfortable first experience. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and text! She made sure Rambo had a lot of exercise and fun. I will definitely will be rebooking and 100% recommend you using Megan for your dogs! Thank you so much”
About: I love dogs, cats, horses, birds… all animals really! I grew up with a lot of animals and enjoyed spending time with them. I helped take care of litters of puppies and kittens when I was little. I also helped with large breed dogs, cats, birds, and fish. We always had a dog at home that I fed, bathed, and walked. As I got older, I cared for family and friends' animals, while they were away, before becoming a professional Pet Sitter. I personally have owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and a ferret. i have experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs and cats, as well as with horses, rabbits, chickens, parrots, parakeet, guinea pigs, mice, and baby ferrets. I love them all! I have always had a huge heart and special bond with dogs. I still get excited and have to say "hi" to new furry faces everywhere I go. It makes my day just seeing their happy smiles and wagging tails. One of my jobs back in the day required me to go inside people’s homes to assess for taxes and I would always hear people tell me their dogs were not this friendly with anyone else or not that playful.. they would follow me around, bring me toys, and seemed to crave my attention while I was there. I think they love me as much as I love them! I always look forward to my time with my furry friends. I treat your dog like part of the family. We have love, snuggles, playtime, and of course I talk to them like they are people. 😊 When I wake up, i say good morning, give them love and make sure they get right out for potty and then again after breakfast. I take them out at lunch time and get some exercise walking and/or playing in the yard so they can run around. If it’s hot, i try to get most of the playtime in the morning or at night. I have little chats with them and tell them how pretty, fun, and smart they are all through the day. I love to play, brush them, massage them, and sometimes just lay on the floor with them and pet them. The kids also love to play and cuddle with our furry friends so they get extra attention every day. We love dogs and are looking forward to sharing our days and nights with your fur baby. I enjoy time with animals! I love playing, walking, brushing, belly rubs, and sharing smiles! Dogs who stay here can run around freely in the fenced yard and play catch, fetch, or play “name that smell” on our walks. I will send pictures and update you on how they’re doing throughout the stay and of course, I will give lots of love at my home, or yours. 😊
About: I love taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for many years. I love any kind of furry friend and am looking forward to assisting in the caring of your pet! I work from home and have very open availability to taking care of pets. I am able to walk dogs on my breaks or on my lunch. I can keep close watch on any pet during the day because I work in my home. I have a fenced area where each fur friend will have access to. I love to walk and run with dogs while they are on a leash also.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life, they have always been a huge part of my family! I am a firm believer that all pet’s are family & deserve to be treated as such. I’ve always helped look after my neighbors pets when growing up & now that I’m an adult, I also look after my friends’ pets as well. If I could spend all day everyday just taking care of them, I absolutely would! I have three pups of my own & to say that they are spoiled rotten is an absolute understatement. Benelli is GSD/husky, who is neutered & will be 5 in June. Daisy is 2, not yet spayed & is a chow chow mix. Lena will be 1 in March & is pure GSD. All of my pups are trained & do not go into a crate. They are both fun, loving & outgoing beings & we would love for your baby/babies to come play with us sometime! I’m a stay at home mom & have a 1 year old daughter. She loves all furry friends, big & small! I’m new to staying at home so I’m excited to get back into pup sitting, doing something I genuinely love to do! I have a fenced in backyard for my pups to express their energy & get some good playtime in, throughout the day. I am quite generous with the treats in between feedings as well. My pups eat twice a day & I keep it as close to 12 hour intervals as possible. Typically being 7am for breakfast & 7pm for dinner. If I were to care for your pets in your home, I will alter my schedule to accommodate your pets needs to best of my ability!
“Here’s a polished review you can use: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Dog Sitter! I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. My dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were at dinner, which gave me complete peace of mind. I appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication throughout the stay. It was clear that my dog received plenty of attention and affection. I returned home to a relaxed and happy dog. I highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their furry family member. I will definitely book with her again! 🐾💙”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Old Joe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 743 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Old Joe. 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 Old Joe 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 743 sitters in Old Joe, 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.
