“I've used them for boarding before and now Buttercup does Doggie daycare with them and I could not be happier. They are communicative and send updates. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. Thank you both and your family for loving my Buttercup like she's one of your own!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I honestly can’t remember a time when I didn’t have them! I’ve grown up with dogs, and I currently share my life with a border collie. I found a love for training animals, when I was really young. My pup is a a high energy border collie, so a lot of my free time is spent putting his energy to good use. He knows quite a bit of tricks and I had a lot of fun teaching him. For the past three years, I’ve worked as a Veterinary Assistant. These experiences have given me strong skills in animal care, handling, and communication, especially when it comes to working with scared or timid dogs. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. I’d love to chat about how I can help care for your pets! I am currently a full time student, so I am home all days of the week. I have one dog myself, that loves all other dogs. I am able to let your dog out as many times as they need. We can also go for walks, and play as needed. When caring for your pets my top priorities are always safety, comfort, and trust. In your home, I make sure to maintain your pet’s normal schedule and environment as closely as possible. I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. My background as a Veterinary Assistant allows me to confidently handle pets with special needs, administer medication, and recognize early signs of stress or illness. I believe trust is built through consistency, communication, and care. You can count on me to treat your pets as if they were my own.
“Outstanding service. This was our first time having a babysitter for our dogs and we are so happy with the service provided. We enjoyed the pictures and the updates on how I fur babies we’re doing while we were gone. Can’t wait to use services again thank you for an awesome job.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Buddy stayed with Jacky for eight days, and from the very first day we knew he was in great hands. Every morning he was excited to go to her, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he felt with her. Jacky took wonderful care of him, kept him active, and made sure he felt safe and loved throughout his stay. It was such a relief knowing that Buddy was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and Buddy came home happy and tired every day. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention Jacky gave him and would trust her with Buddy again without hesitation. Highly recommended – 5 stars all the way”
“I needed someone in a pinch to watch my dog as I was out of town. I am so happy that I contacted Natalie. I will over and over again recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She was absolutely wonderful. She even came 1 day before to meet my dog Leo as I wanted to meet her before booking a dog sitter. She made me feel at ease and I just knew that my dog would be ok with her. The most sweetest person I have ever met.”
“Bianca was wonderful! We needed a quick sitter while we went out of town for a memorial service, but rather than leaving our pup in our home city, we took her with us and had Bianca watch her while we were at the service. Ness got walked and slept and played with Biana's two pups. The whole affair was perfect.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockfish
This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving my dogs with someone new, especially since we were traveling. Waddell eased any worries completely, and I knew my babies were in good hands while I attended an event. He was incredibly friendly and my dogs were comfortable in his home right away. They had a huge yard to run around in and AC available to them! I know they had a great time at Waddell’s home. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your fur babies, Waddell is the perfect choice! I cannot than him enough and will keep him in mind next time we are in town.
The Best Sitter Ever! Mel is truly incredible! From day one, my dog Belle treated her like a best friend. It was so heartwarming to see how much Belle loved their time together. The highlight was definitely the hikes. She took Belle on adventurous trails that I’d never be able to take her on, which made Belle extra happy. She also sent constant photos and updates, so I felt like I was right there with them the whole time. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated or loving person to watch my girl!
Where do I start Seriously…..Haven has so much experience with dogs I can tell because she has 5 dogs of her own and my frenchie Cash fit right in with hers. She kept Cash in doggy daycare all day and shared photos of his day. He went swimming in the doggy pool, played indoor and outdoor, went on a pack walk to the lake and splashed around! My baby came home knocked out from a long enjoyable day and he can’t wait to go back! I Absolutely Love Haven and Trust her with My Baby Cash!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rockfish on Rover is $27.25 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Rockfish 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 309 sitters in Rockfish, 89% 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.
