Clayton & his wife are phenomenal. I 100 percent recommend them both. I recently got a new puppy and work as a nurse with long hours. They took him in like family and made him feel very welcomed. Nuka gets excited to see them when I drop them off. He has such a great doggy day care & I’m glad Nuka and I found this crew.!

About: Experienced in animal rehabilitation with a lifelong background growing up on a farm, providing compassionate, attentive care to multiple dog breeds and animals of all ages. As a young adult with no children or personal pets, I offer a calm, spacious environment with plenty of one-on-one attention—perfect for shy dogs needing comfort or outgoing pups ready for play and companionship. Currently, I have availability anytime after 1 PM until August 17. If your dog needs care for multiple days, I am able to stay home and provide around-the-clock attention and companionship. Once school is back in session, I will still be available to care for your furry friend Friday through Sunday. When caring for pets, I pay close attention to their body language and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. My home has a fenced backyard where they can use the restroom, play, and get exercise. Pets can stay comfortably inside the house or in the garage depending on their needs and preferences. I am happy to discuss any specific routines, requirements, or accommodations to help provide them with a safe and enjoyable stay.

Sterling loved it at their house. He was always exhausted when I would pink him up in the evenings, and be super excited the second he recognized their street in the mornings. They were super flexible working with me around some inconsistent pickup and drop off times. Will book again next time we're in the area.

About: Hello, my name is Emily! I have 6 years of experience taking care of pets, and would love to help you with your fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am home and available 7 days a week unless my schedule states otherwise. We have a female dog, Luna, she is very sweet and good with cats as well as dogs. My family loves all animals and will make sure your pet(s) are not only taken care of but also loved on while you are away. I will only dog sit potty trained pets and I prefer not to use crates if possible. We do have a toddler, she understands boundaries with pets, but if your dog or cat is afraid of or aggressive towards small children we won’t be a good fit. Please feel free to message me with any questions! Thank you ♥️🐈🐕‍🦺 I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am home full time unless otherwise stated on my personal Rover schedule which can be found on my profile :) I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run around in, any holes have been blocked by center blocks to prevent anyone wanting to escape. We also have baby gates on hand to make safe spaces for your pet in my home!

About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).

Stella and Kaila has a blast and were wore out when they got home! They went straight to bed ?❤️ 5/5 recommend Emily any day! She was very polite quick responses and so easy to reach. She sent photos of the girls while they were there, and we even went home with a note saying how their stay was! Overall great experience! Thanks again Emily! ?

About: My love for animals could never be replaced!! I’ve grown up around animals as big as horses and as small as little kittens. I have 4+ years of animal hospital experience and currently have been working in veterinary emergency for 2 years…Many people have been able to count on me to check in on their pet wether it be to feed them or even just play with them. I’ve only worked in animal hospitals my whole life so even if you just have questions about your pet I’ll most likely be able to give you some good advice. I love all animals and have also successfully trained all of my own and helped others train their pets as well! My rates were carefully thought through and decided upon how well I will love and care for your pet as if they were one of my own. (Mine are too spoiled for their own good) my babies love to run around in the back yard and play ball!! I would LOVE to meet your furry baby and give them the best care and send as many pictures as you wish so you have no need to worry. :) I’m currently working part-time at an emergency animal clinic which is only night time hours. Weekends if I work are different due to most other animal hospitals having limited hours or being closed which means my emergency clinic is open for those who need their pet cared for. I have a fenced in yard (tall private wooded fence) and 2 extremely friendly fluff ball friends of my own who are all vaccinated and healthy and they would love to meet some new friends other than at the doggy park! If your pup isn’t good with other dogs, that’s totally not a problem at all either!!

About: I have always been the one everyone goes to for animal care. Animals are driven to me. And when I come into somebody's home, the animals always sit with me or love up on me. I know how to take care of a variety of animals from dogs, cats, exotic animals, too farm animals. I have started watching pets on my own and have nothing but great reviews. I work for myself and I need a flexible schedule, as my son is autistic. He loves having animals around as well. I am a single mom and I love the fact that I can teach my son the appreciation for animals and what they bring into the home. When I am able to care for your pet in my home, they are able to socialize with my dog is well. He is very active. He is a lab pit mix. He is friendly and never had any issue with any other kind of animals. Your pet will also have more one on one care. When i do check ups at your home I'm only there for a short time and tend to get anxiety from being alone too long.

Pam and Frank were so good with Dexter! They sent plenty of pictures which helped me feel so much better about leaving him. They played with him, snuggled him, and wore him out during his visit. We will definitely utilize their services again!

About: (Base Access) Hello! I’m a Veteran, Mom of 3 kiddos, married to a Veteran and in my thirties with experience birthing puppies and goats, walking/running with dogs. I’ve taken care of 3 elderly dogs and helped them be as comfortable as possible before dying at home. Groomed our family dogs for years. I’ve helped my dogs and others after surgery and have experience giving medication. We have a single story home with only three steps to the backyard and two to the front yard. My husband and children are wonderful at cuddling and playing with all the dogs we get to meet. We will provide the full spectrum of care needed to help your furbaby feel loved and safe while away from their own family. I’m home most of the day every day, we go on walks as a family in the morning & evening. I have a minivan available for transporting all sizes of animals. We homeschool and my husband helps whenever I need to take the kids to activities. There are very few times where we are all away from home, so we are able to give extra attention. I have a large fenced yard with chickens (in their own fenced area) and my cats are friendly and live outside the home. Our home is a single story and the only steps are three to the backyard and two to the front yard. Our garage is heated/cooled and a great space to keep large kenneled pets. Our neighborhood is quiet and has a great road for walking on.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Pumpkin Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Pumpkin Center on Rover is $31.08 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 168 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Pumpkin Center. 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 Pumpkin Center 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 168 sitters in Pumpkin Center, 90% 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.
