About: I love all animals but especially dogs. I’ve had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember. I know your fur baby is family and I’ll treat them like one. I am a stay at home dog grandmother and available most of the time. I do travel to see my daughter occasionally but always have plenty of advance notice. I don’t have a fenced yard but can take your pup(s) on short walks. Dogs are welcome anywhere they feel the most comfortable in my home, including couches.
“Gabrielle was amazing! We needed a few hours for our boy to hang out and she furnished a safe and loving environment. Will definitely use again on our next visit down.”
About: I have many years of experience in rescuing, sitting, and rehabbing animals from domestic to wild. I love what I do and my children (ages 11-12) have been brought up the same way. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about all animals! While in my care, you can expect individualized compassionate care! I make sure your fur baby/s have fun, feel loved, safe and blend like one of the pack! They can roam free in our fenced in back or front yard, lounge on the screened in deck or cozy up on the couches inside with many plushy dog beds throughout our home. I don't crate unless requested so roaming through the house is just what they will do. Fully supervised of course! Our home is literally their home! I can also offer to help with anxiety, trauma and or sibling rivalry at no extra cost. It’s my passion to help animals :) I have lots of energy, free time and would love to give your pet/s every moment of the day! Your baby/s will feel right at home with all the love and attention received :) When it comes to pet sitting my kids (ages 11-12) and I are a full time team and we work together to make sure your baby/s are fully supervised, entertained, and even spoiled! We have a big fenced back and front yard, a screened in deck, lounge areas throughout the house, grain free kibbles, home made treats, filtered water, plushy beds and secured home with cameras and security system. We strive to give your baby/s a safely wonderful and comfy stay with total peace of mind for you!
“Savannah is great! She went above and beyond to accommodate my fluctuating schedule while I was in town for family events. She was extremely kind and sensitive to Sunny's needs. He is an older dog, and needs medication and TLC. She sent updates and photos, always a reassuring thing! I would give her 10 stars if I could, and am very happy to have found her. I will absolutely use her again!”

I have one small dog of my own that is old and very easy going. I currently work full time with kids with Autism. I usually work from 10-4. I prefer dogs that are crate trained and that can be left alone for a few hours. I am also available to dog walk before and after work! I have a large backyard area, however; it is not fully fenced. I make sure dogs are leashed when we hang out in the backyard!

About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed
About: I have been taking care of dogs sin e I was a child but as an adult have had multiple smaller breed dogs and have family members (that I help care for their dogs) that have German shepherds, pit bull mixes, golden retrievers, and Alaskan Husky! I currently work from home and am able to set my own schedule, so it makes it very easy for me to take time for potty breaks and playtime. We don't have a fenced yard but do have a nice big deck with a special place with "turf" and "plants" for them to potty on or we can put leashes on and go out in the front yard. We also have dog beds and some toys to play with.
“Steven and his family did a fantastic job caring for my pup! Walks, play and he even gave him a bath after a long day of play. Steven was very cordial, prompt and sent some pics throughout the day!”
“We selected Julia for our Carolina Dog based on reviews, her experience with big dogs and the fact that she is a certified dog trainer. We were delighted to find that in addition to all of that she is kind and caring too. Zoë has found a new friend as well as a home away from home and we have found piece of mind.”
“Rebecca was a perfect sitter for our puppy. She had her dog to be a playmate for our rambunctious Jack Russell. It was very convenient to drop him off and pick up. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been around animals all my life. We raised our children with dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and even butterflies! I love animals and often care for family and friends whose pets need care. I have worked in New York, Arizona, and now North Carolina caring for these precious pets! I believe deeply that these fur babies are intuitive, intelligent, and capable of giving and receiving love. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. My day revolves around the needs of the pets I care for. I manage our rentals on our property so I am always close by! The pets I care for are free to roam around and explore inside our home. We have a back deck and open backyard. We back up to a nature preserve so there are walking trails and lots of places for exercise. Our neighborhood is quiet and well established. There are many dogs walking throughout in the morning and evening with their owners!
“Mrs. Kellie is like family. She is a true one of a kind. Your babies will love their time in her care. They will come home tired and hungry from a long day of playing. Thank you, Mrs. Kellie.”
“Michaela was fantastic with Hope! I was definitely stressed out leaving her with new people but Hope settled right in, and turns out I had nothing to worry about. Michaela sent me updates and let me know how Hope was doing. She is a great sitter and I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my families pets since I was 13, and I became a dog owner 4 years ago!! My baby Jack is a beagle - cavalier king charles spaniel mix and he is the sweetest. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, bathing them, cuddling with them, and so much more. I absolutely love dogs and spending my time with them :) I work from home during the school year (Aug-May) so I’m available for drop ins, walks, and house sitting after school hours (4pm-late)! I am very flexible with hours and days. For boarding and doggy day care, I work from home 9am-4pm M-F. I see clients in person 4:30-6:30 Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. For doggy daycare my hours are 8am-4pm. if you are unable to pick your dog up before 4:00, then they can be crated during 4-6:30pm. Or, I can drop them off by 4. Weekends I do not work so drop offs at 8am and pick ups are flexible. I can provide play time with my dog inside the home and outside in my yard. They will be supervised at all times by myself or my spouse. They can be let out hourly or more. Can go to the dog park in my neighborhood right behind my house during my lunch break and when I get off at 4. must be friendly with other dogs because my dog will be present! during the summer I only work 1 day/week so very open! I will not allow dogs out without a leash if there’s no fence, and I will always listen to an owners instructions on how to best care for their fur babies. in my home, I have a fenced in backyard. I do not leave dogs home alone unless they are in a crate or kennel. There is a neighborhood dog park right behind my house ( that is typically empty ) that our dogs can play in as well.
About: I love animals, especially dogs. I lost my 11 year old lab last year and currently have a 1 1/2 year old black lab and a 4 year old cat. I trained our puppy from 8 weeks old and she is super sweet and well behaved. She loves all dogs and loves to make new friends! I am currently home full time and spend lots of time outdoors. I walk at least one walk a day, sometimes two. My dog loves to play ball and spend time laying on our porch. I have a very friendly lab that is a year old who loves playing with other dogs. My home is quiet and calm with lots of opportunity for rest or play at anytime during the day.
“I have taken my grand dog, Kai to Danika the last two weeks for doggie day care. Kai receives the best exercise and care while attending. Danika and her sweet family provide a loving and caring environment for Kai. When I pull up to drop off Kai, and he sees Danika he nearly jumps out the window to get to her. He gets plenty of outside exercise and live by her daughters too. Danika send pics of Kai for us to see how much fun he has. He truly is exhausted when we get home. Truly is a home away from home for Kai.”
About: I am filled with patience, love and care. One of my joys is working with any fur baby to make sure they’re safe and happy when there owner is away, making sure they stay on their normal routine as best to my ability and what is required of me. I currently don’t have a job and I love any fur baby so I have full time to help with yours and make sure they’re safe and taken care of. I have a fenced backyard, training with dog sitting, flexible hours and can follow instructions. I will make sure they are fed, exercised, and meet the client’s needs.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Topsail Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 377 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Topsail Beach. 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 Topsail Beach 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 377 sitters in Topsail Beach, 87% 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.
