“Our energetic sweet dog had a great day with Ro. I felt totally comfortable with her. She seemed like a natural with dogs, had a great backyard, played with our dog during the day. Our dog was loving all over her when we came to pick him up. Ro is great. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“I cannot say enough good things about this pet sitter. Chris truly went above and beyond—constant communication, thoughtful updates, extra attention to my Gracie, and genuine care. Gracie totally adored him, and I felt completely at ease while I was away from her. A wonderful experience from start to finish.”
“Our dogs Luna and Lehla had an amazing time. Both were very well cared for. We were sent pictures of them playing through out the day as well. Highly recommend booking her for your first babies!”
“Bentley had a great time with Abriana and her dogs! She accomodated our specific requests graciously. She spent time helping him get acquainted with her property and animals. She sent us updates and photos while we were at the NC Zoo. Bentley was more content than anxious at pick-up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Morgann took great care of our pup and was super understanding with our dogs first ever puppy sitter. We were really happy with how she communicated and her flexibility with our shifting schedule. Our pup came home super happy and in great spirits!”

About: I grew up taking care of pet dogs and cats -- often at the same time! From raising tabbies to keeping up with an active husky, I've gained diverse experience in caring for furry personalities. I typically work full-time during the school year, keeping a more flexible schedule during breaks. I'm available for boarding weekdays starting at 11am (after 6pm during school months), weekends starting 12pm. While I'm home, your pet is welcome to roam around or hunker down where they feel most comfortable. They can sleep/rest safely in my room as well. I will work to accommodate any specific care.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for 12+ years. I have experience in senior care, diabetes, CPR, blindness, administering oral and injection medication, and grooming. I love all breeds! I'm able to walk, feed, bathe, and play with your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom of a 4 year old and also have a fur baby of my own. So, I'm available 24/7 for all of your pets needs. I have a big fenced in yard that my dog loves and I'm sure yours will as well. My door is always "open" for your pets to run free in my fenced in yard or come in to do as they please. I do walks also! I do have a large crate for crate trained dogs.
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs in the house from the day we were born, so we each have 20+ years of experience! I also was a house/pet sitter through most of high school and college, where I gained experience with senior and diabetic dogs, as well. We’d love nothing more than to love your pups for you whenever they unfortunately can’t travel along! My husband and I both work primarily from home, along with our two children and our own three dogs, so we are readily available for any and all of your pups needs! Apart from the occasional work or summer trip, we are available for boarding, play dates, walks, and the like as needed! We have a fenced in yard with a covered deck perfect for playing fetch or just catching some sun. We have a three year old and a nine month old, as well as three dogs of our own, two corgis and one boxer, who would love to keep your fur babies company while you’re away! We do have the ability to keep dogs in separate spaces if needed though, so there will be no concerns for anyone who isn’t a fan of little ones or just likes to have their own space. We both work primarily from home, so we will be at your pups beck and call for whatever they need whenever they need it! We know they are a member of your family, and we will provide the best home-away-from-home for them while you travel. We do require that all dogs who will visit our home be up-to-date on Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper vaccines and also be spayed/neutered if old enough (>1 yr.) This is to ensure the safety of all pups, both those visiting and our own. A digital or paper copy of your dogs vaccine records must be provided for the first booking, and will be kept on file for future use (and updated as needed). All dogs must also have a collar and ID tag when staying in our home. Everyone’s safety is our top priority! We do allow meet and greets for anyone who is interested so that we can all meet in person, and your pup(s) can sniff around and get comfortable before their stay.

About: I have had dogs all my life - all sizes & breeds. I specialize in smaller size breeds. I currently have 2 Miniature Schnauzers and they are my “children” and are spoiled rotten as will your baby when they are here. Dogs are not crated unless otherwise told. Pups are able to sleep where they feel most comfortable and if allowed homemade treats are given. They will be pampered & spoiled while they are home away from home. I am flexible and reliable and try to eliminate stress for all involved. If medication is needed, I am trained in oral as well as giving injections. Homemade treats for our precious babies are provided. Only the best. I work a hybrid schedule so I am home full time Thursday thru Sunday. Monday thru Wednesday I am in the office but home starting at 5:30 pm till morning. Fur babies are always supervised. Long walks are taken in the evening along with shorter ones thru the day. Nice wilderness trail to explore in addition to a park down the road for the more adventurous. Grassy areas close for those quick walks then in the evenings a nice safe walk around the neighborhood.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Sophia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 325 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sophia. 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 Sophia 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 325 sitters in Sophia, 91% 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.
