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: 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: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

Our days consist of many walks, so your dog would we well exercised and cared for while you are away I have a fenced in yard for your dog to go out for a quick potty break if needed.

About: Hello, my name is Tianna and I’m 28. I’ve been a huge animal lover since I was a child where I’ve brought different animals home to take care of such as kitties, turtles, and even a peacock! I’ve fostered and owned a variety of dogs from lap dogs to larger breeds. I have 4 dogs of my own and another 5 that reside back in Texas with my family. 2 are seniors so senior dogs have a special place in my heart! I currently work at a fitness studio where I’m gone for 2-3 hours max a day but can schedule around to accommodate to you and your pets needs! I have a smoke free home where your pets can lounge on the sofa and bed :) I have a small fenced yard and 4 small dogs who are crate trained so they can be put away to keep your dog comfortable and safe if needed. **My pets are currently back in Texas**

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals—especially dogs! Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs on the couch, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior sweethearts, and I treat each one like part of the family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’m attentive, patient, and experienced with feeding schedules, medication, crate training, and special needs care. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is in kind and capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your pup! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time from 7am to 4pm, but I’m still flexible and make time for morning walks, evening visits, and weekend care. I’m committed to making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for—whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. Your pet’s comfort is always a priority in my schedule. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routine. I stick to their feeding schedule, take them on familiar walks, give them playtime, and make sure they feel safe in their own space. I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I offer plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a cozy place to rest—just like home. I’m mindful of each pet’s needs and personality, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.

About: I have a big beautiful dog back home, around 121 pounds. I learned a lot living with him and taking care of him, and I also took care of friends' dogs. I love animals and I had a pet since I was little. I will make sure that your pet is happy with me! I'm currently staying at home so I have a lot of free time to spend with your lovely pets and give them attention that they deserve. We have fenced yard in the house and a lot of space. Usually I like to take them for a walk, play in the park or whatever make them happy.

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).

About: • All breeds, temperaments, sizes & quirks • Administering medications • Decade of dog care and training experience Hi, I’m Kylie! I’ve been working with dogs for over a decade, including time spent learning under and alongside professional dog trainers. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and quirks. I run my services out of my home, where every dog is treated like family. We’ve created a dedicated dog room designed for comfort, structure, and relaxation, giving pups their own safe space when needed. Our fully fenced-in yard provides plenty of room for supervised play, exercise, and fresh air, so your dog can enjoy a balance of activity and downtime. I do my best to keep each pup’s daily routine as close to their at-home schedule as possible, which helps them feel comfortable and lowers stress. My care is always personalized—whether your dog needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or structured guidance, I adjust to fit their needs. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I make sure every pet in my care feels loved, secure, and well taken care of. During the day, dogs in my care follow a balanced and structured routine designed to keep them happy, comfortable, and engaged. Potty breaks are offered every two hours (unless an owner requests otherwise), giving each pup plenty of chances to go outside and stretch their legs. Playgroups are always supervised and matched based on each dog’s likes, dislikes, and play style, so social time is safe and enjoyable. Mini training sessions can be worked into the day upon request, reinforcing good manners and keeping pups mentally stimulated. To help dogs recharge, I include structured nap times where they can relax in a calm environment. And of course, there’s plenty of time to hang out with humans—whether that’s lounging on the furniture for snuggles or just enjoying companionship. This balance of activity, rest, and affection ensures every dog feels at home while staying with me. As a stay at home wife my entire day is structured around our own dogs and our visiting dogs. In my home we do boarding and daycare! Boarding dogs are on a slightly different schedule than daycare dogs, as they’re with me all day instead of only during the day. Boarding dogs routines vary based off energy level, temperament and their usual routine at their own homes. Depending on the dogs temperament and who they get along with we swap play groups around just to ensure the best time for everyone! All dogs in my home are treated like family. I’d want my own dogs to be treated as such during boarding or daycare, so it makes sense that i treat all client dogs the same.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Tarawa Terrace

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Tarawa Terrace on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 167 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Tarawa Terrace. 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 Tarawa Terrace 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 167 sitters in Tarawa Terrace, 93% 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.
