“Kerri, we want to thank you very much for watching our Jazzy. She was very happy and we could tell that by the way she took to you right away. We are sure she is in good hands with you and your children and other pets. Cant express enough we are pleased. Looking forward to the ability to leave her with you in the future and we can relax knowing she is well cared for. Thank you very much, Rick and Yvonne Brown.”
About: Whether you're heading out for a weekend or a longer trip, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I offer personalized dog sitting and comfortable home-based boarding where your pup will enjoy plenty of attention, daily walks, playtime, and a calm environment. With a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs, I treat every fur guest my own —because your fur baby deserves nothing less. Care for my fur guest fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home. This allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day, whether it's for feeding, potty breaks, walks, or just some comforting company. I’m able to maintain a calm and consistent environment where pets feel safe and cared for. Being home full-time means my fur guest will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adapt to their individual needs and routines. I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or special care instructions. My fur guest have access to cozy resting areas, safe indoor and outdoor spaces, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you always know how they are doing. My goal is to create a stress-free, happy stay that gives you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Ashley did great for my pups today! She was flexible and communicative and my generally a little bit nervous dogs seem to do great at her place! Her two dogs are adorable and very friendly and I’m sure did a lot to make mine feel comfortable. Will absolutely be using Ashley again for daycare!”
“Miriam was wonderful from the start. She communicated so well, conforming details and answering questions promptly. She was professional, kind and helpful. Plus, our little Daisy loved her! We will definitely book pup sitting with Miriam again!”
About: I grew up with a pair of golden retrievers and currently have two Puli and one Old English Sheepdog pup (he is big boy). I am patient, loving and affectionate towards all dogs. I will make your dog feel cared for while giving them the highest standard of care and attention. I work from home mostly and have the flexibility to spend time with dogs. Just like your pup, It's good for me to take breaks and get outside too. We will have a fence in the next few months and will have a beautiful backyard for dogs to run. We have a large home with lots of windows and light and would love to host other furry guests.
“Sylvia is great! I felt so comfortable leaving Percy with her and really appreciate her experience with rescue dogs. Percy had a wonderful time playing with Sylvia’s dog and came home super tired! Really appreciate the clear and quick communication as well. Thanks!”
“Our dogs loved their stay with Kourtney and her family. They were received with great care and attention. Kourtney provided several pictures and updates throughout the stay. I would certainly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with and taken care of snakes, bunnies, hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, chickens a tarantula and a ferret. I have raised 5 puppies including a yellow Labrador, 2 Australian Shepherds, a Great Dane/Black Lab and a 1 year old Rescue Hound Mix with one eye. I have cared for a Senior Dog and 2 Senior Cats. I treat every animal with love, care & respect just like my own. Pet Care is my #1 job! I can try to be available for boarding your animal at my home, As Long As they are crate trained and enjoy sleeping and staying in their crate overnight or for short daytime breaks. I would prefer drop in visits. I have 3 dogs that live with me FT, and no extra room for a visiting pup to sleep in my bed. Typically have time for 3 drop-in visits per day, sometimes 4 if necessary. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Exercise, Attention and Nutrition are the 3 most important ways I care for my own pets and my clients. Safety is also extremely important. I have a large 1 acre fenced in backyard at my own home. Always use a harness and a leash for walks or outings. I will make sure your pet is feeling loved, safe and fed with plenty of scratches & snuggles (if they like that), walks or outdoor play, fresh water and food and comfort.
About: I’m currently taking a break from my career as a veterinary assistant and being a stay at home mom to two beautiful kids and our spoiled dog, Nori. I miss the relationships I had with my patients so I’m looking to build new ones through dog walking. I am very comfortable medicating dogs, oral and injectable. I understand how hard it is to find a pet sitter you can trust to love and care for your pet while you’re away. I am confident in handling everything from high energy breeds that need to play to older seniors that just want to sun bathe. As a SAHM, I may have my 10 month old or 5 year old with me for visits. Rest assured, your pet will get all the love and snuggles they want during our visits. I can’t wait to build a new friendship with you and your pets! I am currently looking for little jobs here and there. I am a stay at home mom now but I miss being there for my four legged patients. I am hoping that I will be able to get to know several clients and regularly care for their pets during the week. At the moment, I cannot watch dogs in their personal home. I am happy to watch small and medium sized dogs at my home. I am able to do drop in visits for cats, and other small animals in their personal homes. I have a valid license and personal vehicle to get around quickly and efficiently.
“Carol is the best! She had great communication, took wonderful care of Obi, and has a great yard and home that is pet friendly and safe. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: Your dog will have plenty of playtime with our own, playful Fiona. We will make sure your dog keeps active, going to the park, walks and at our fenced patio. We live near several dog parks in midtown Sacramento. We have been trained with K9 and know how to train a dog on verbal and leash commands. Our dog is a “good dog citizen” by the AKC (American Kennel Club). We play dog playlists, give them treats, play hide n seek, and ball, and more ... We are utterly patient with picky eaters, as our dog is a picky eater too. Your dog will be supervised for several hours a day since I work from home and can keep an eye on them. Let's meet and greet!
“Erica was absolutely wonderful with Missy! She was so gentle and caring, and I could tell Missy felt relaxed and happy in her care. I really appreciated Erica’s attention and kindness, and I’m definitely looking forward to booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was so great! I needed help with my very energetic Golden puppy last minute and she was a life saver! Yelena was so tired when she got home from all the fun she had!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs for my friends and family since college and until recently, had an amazing little Maltese named Sawyer for 14 wonderful years. After his passing earlier this year, I have had 3 different housesitting jobs for my friends which has shown me how much I miss having an animal companion, but I am just not ready to get another one. The max number of dogs that I have ever watched was four but depending on temperament, I could be comfortable with more. By working from home, I’m able to care for dogs in my home or travel to your home, depending on your preference. My typical work schedule is 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, and because I work remotely, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I’m happiest when I’m curled up with a good book and a fur baby nearby. My experience with pet sitting has primarily been with families whose pets are not crate trained, so I’m very comfortable with pets having access to furniture and sleeping in the bed. The animals in my life have always been treated as part of the family, and I’m comfortable accommodating different routines and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs who are graze eaters as well as dogs who follow a specific feeding schedule. Before he passed, my little guy was taking several medications, so I’m also comfortable administering medications and keeping up with specific timing and routines. I live in a ranch-style townhouse with a yard, although it is not fenced in. Because of this, I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor time and would not allow a pet outside unattended.
About: I’m a licensed veterinary technician with 7 years of experience at a specialty animal hospital, specializing in canine rehab. I’ve always loved animals and grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, and a rabbit. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs, from playful pups to seniors. I work full-time, but my schedule allows me to provide plenty of quality time and attention to your pet before and after work. My boyfriend is also home during the day and can help provide companionship and supervision while I’m away. For boarding, I make sure each pet’s routine is maintained, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m available for boarding on weekends and select weekdays depending on my work schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 7+ years of specialty animal-care experience, I provide attentive care, follow routines, and can confidently administer medications when needed.
“Still in recovery from an attack by a large dog, our little seven pound puppy Maui needed extra TLC. Martine and Ron were as loving and caring as we could ever had hoped for. I recommend them most highly and without reservation!”
“This was our first time using Arden, and we could tell right away that she’s wonderful with dogs — especially with Rooney! We were well informed with updates and photos throughout the day, and it was clear Rooney was happy, safe, and well cared for. Arden took her on walks and let her relax on the gated back porch, which she loved. We’ll definitely book with Arden again!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my baby with a sitter for the first time but Rebecca was very reassuring. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and let me know that Roxy was having fun while staying with her. I will definitely be leaving Roxy with her in the future!”
About: 8 years of experience in dog care and basic training. We go for walks, to the dog park. At my house I have a fairly large field with a fence and I am always with them. I don't have cages, if you want them to sleep in their cage for training, you will have to bring it. Every day I get up at 6 am, go for a walk and do routines at home. I work from home although sometimes I have to go out for an appointment. When I take care of dogs, I like to do activities with them, teach them tricks, basic training skills and obedience. I have a fenced yard and 3 very friendly and sociable dogs who have all their vaccinations up to date. Whenever we go out, they are on a leash.
“Nicole was an excellent Rover sitter. My dog had the best time with her and was so excited to see on day 2. Will definitely be bringing Púca back to Nicole whenever I need day care!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Wake Forest is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $43 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,312 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Wake Forest. 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 Wake Forest 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,312 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NC. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
