“I highly recommend Elizabeth and Kevin. I really liked how we had a quick meet and greet before Maximus staying there. Great communication throughout the process and the day he was there. Plenty of pictures and for a first time stay, I had no worries, which speaks volumes. 100% he will be coming back. :)”
“Sarah and her family took amazing care of our dog Berry!! He had a wonderful time playing in the yard and with other dogs. Sarah was incredibly responsive and sent us pictures and updates throughout his time with her. We really appreciate her accommodating our last minute day care request and highly reccomend her!”

About: I grew up with pets and have always had dogs and cats in my home, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’m a proud cat mom and also have a friendly, playful 2-year-old Labrador who loves being around other dogs. I work from home for a few hours in the morning, so I’m home all day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live in a house with a big fenced yard, providing a safe space for pets to play and feel comfortable. I also have two young children, so it’s important to me that pets are friendly and comfortable around kids. My kids are gentle and used to being around animals, and I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone is safe and happy. I treat every pet like part of the family and always follow their routine to help them feel at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home for a few hours in the morning, so I am home most of the day and able to provide attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for all pets in my care. I live in a house with a fenced yard, which allows pets to play and explore safely under supervision. I always make sure pets are secure and never left unattended outside .Since I work from home part of the day, I am able to supervise pets closely and provide regular attention, potty breaks, playtime, and feeding according to their routine.I treat every pet like part of my family and follow all instructions from pet owners carefully to ensure consistency and comfort. I introduce pets slowly and carefully to my own dog and always supervise interactions to ensure everyone gets along safely. I also have two children, and I make sure that any pets in my home are comfortable around kids. All interactions are supervised to keep both pets and children safe and happy.
About: I have always had a love for all dogs and want to pat every one I see! We had our own beautiful pup previously. As we don’t have a dog right now, I love to treat yours like family and make sure they feel safe, loved and neutered for while in my care. I can only have hypoallergenic dogs in my home right now but happy to do drop ins or walk any type of dog. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and gives me more time to provide attention to your fur baby. For drop ins we have the ability to be flexible with time and for in boarding it means your dog will have people around a majority of the time. We allow pets to go where they feel comfortable whether it be the sofa, upstairs or to sleep in a bedroom. I will follow whatever feeding schedule you prefer and your preferences on where you would prefer they sleep. We have a fully fenced, large backyard for them to run, play and explore.
“great dog sitter! Laura took great care of our pup, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again!😊”
“My dog Pepsi went straight in with Mrs.Ann and didn't look back and didn't whine when I left. Mrs.Ann was nothing but fantastic and I would definitely recommend her services and will definitely let her watch Pepsi again next year during our Carowinds trips.”
“Sandra is an amazing sitter! She took very good care of my dog Ruby, being very communicative, loving, and caring throughout the stay. I highly recommend her and will continue to book her for boarding.”
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs throughout my life and I've owned up to 3 dogs at once. I understand what it means to have a family member taken care of the right way. I've trained German Shepards and Chihuahuas. I have trained my stepdads's Husky as well. Cuddles are definitely a bonus! I'm currently working part time overnight. Other than that, I am home all day. I usually order items online, so I stay home for most things. I have a son who loves pets. He does very well with any type of pet. I have a large 3 bedroom apartment with a large patio. I live on the 3rd floor but the floors are not carpet so there are no issues with an potty accidents that could occur if the pet needs special care.
About: We've been caring for a minimum of 4 of our own dogs for 20 years as well as a rotating door of foster's/friend's dogs for just as long. I'll treat yours like I treat mine. I'm home full time currently. I have four dogs of my own that have a set routine and are walked daily. Most dogs that we've cared for in the past assimilate to the pack norms quickly. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space/dog beds in our home. I've introduced many dogs to my various packs. Play time is always monitored.
“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!!!”
“From the moment we drove up our dog was ready to get inside to see Aunt Dana and he hadn't even met her yet! He even tried to open her door by reaching for the knob. Dana is welcoming and loving! She knows her stuff when it comes to what dogs love! Hopper felt at home right away. He had fun playing with her dog Bailey in the yard, catching some rays and taking naps. She also sent several updates to us throughout the day.”
“Brian was terrific! He took great care of my dogs and sent photos and an update to let us know how they were doing during the day. He took care to follow our instructions with respect to meals and medications. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Freddy had a great day with Monie along with her 2-legged and 4-legged family members! He made friends with everyone, enjoyed belly rubs, treats, adventures in the back yard and treats! Everything went really well - he will be back! I highly recommend Monie!”
“Christine and Andrew have been the best with taking care of Wilma weekly. They are sure to keep us updated and send pictures - they also make sure she gets plenty of toys :) Wilma looks forward to her time with them each week and it has been so seamless working with the both of them. I highly recommend working with them on pet sitting needs - they rock!”
“Sheila was awesome with my dog Walter. She was very patient and eager to learn about him and his quirks. She was very patient and gave Walter time to acclimate to the environment slowly. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pup!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,321 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Roughedge. 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 Roughedge 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 1,321 sitters in Roughedge, 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.
