“Jerry was amazing and took excellent care of Raya. He even celebrated her first birthday with a pup cup and doggy cookies! I very much appreciated the updates and pictures of how she was doing. Highly recommend Jerry!”
“Walker has some unexpected challenges while staying with Hilary and we felt that she navigated them well and also communicated them clearly. You don’t know what you don’t know sometimes! Our dog got plenty of exercise and playtime while there even though he had to stay crated more than usual. We were very pleased with Hilary!”
“I have an anxious small dog and Helena was absolutely wonderful and gave me great peace of mind while I left him for 4 days. She gave frequent updates and photos so I knew he was doing well. I will definitely be using her from now on anytime I need someone to watch my little guy!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Angela took excellent care of my dog and I appreciated her daily updates while I was away. Your dog is in great hands with her!”
“I was very pleased with my dog sitting experience with Kate! I wanted to find a local dog sitter that was reputable and nice. Kate was great! She treated my dog as if he was one of her own. I was very pleased and will definitely have her watch him again! I would recommend her to anyone :) Thank you Kate!”
“Allison was so understanding of my little guys disabilities and I felt totally comfortable with him being there while I was away. She's very caring and loving. He even bonded with one of her pups and that warmed my heart. Thank you Allison for giving me the peace of mind while I was enjoying time with my son. Will be back definitely!!!”
About: ***Update: I am currently only taking cats as clients due to my full-time work schedule. Sorry, but no dogs at this time.*** I can also help with other small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, or hamsters! I love playing with cats, giving them undivided attention and lots of pets! I have had cats my entire life so know how to quietly connect with different felines and their personalities. I currently volunteer my time with a local cat rescue here in Wilmington, NC and often pet-sit for the owner of the organization when she is away (this means taking care of 15+ cats at a time). I know how to properly feed and care for cats and enjoy playing with them, snuggling, and giving them the love and attention that they deserve! I would love the chance to care for your cat/s while you are away! I work from home and do not start until 10am so my mornings are flexible. I am available for some afternoon shifts, although I prefer 6:30pm or later for evening drop-ins. I will follow your directions to ensure that your pet is cared for the same way you care for them. I will do my best to comfort your pet so that I can become a trusted friend of their's!
“Andrea was quick to accommodate our last minute booking and did a wonderful job keeping us updated during our dog - Lupine’s stay with her. Lupine came home happy, relaxed and tired after her sleepover. She can be shy around excited people but Andrea and her home seemed like a calm respite. I would definitely recommend Andrea and will use her again when we’re in the area.”
“Brittany is more than a dog sitter. She involves her whole family in the care of our Daisy whenever our pup has been there . This gives us the assurance that Daisy is as comfortable there as she is at our own home. She gets plenty of exercise and stimulation there. When we drop Daisy off she immediately looks through the house for the kids to play with or for the sweet family cat for some fun. I can’t thank Brittany enough for the personal attention she gives and the precious experience Daisy has with her kids captured on awesome pictures sent throughout the day. We’d nominate Brittany for the best sitter award if Rover has one!”
“Gabrielle was AMAZING!!! My dog had such a good time, he wasn’t even super excited to see me when I picked him up 😂 I will definitely be using her again! She took great care of my baby and kept me updated and was quick to respond.”
About: I'm a dog lover and owner who has worked with other dogs for 10+ years. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to trust with your fur babies! My goal is to be that person for you! I'm currently working part-time from home so I have flexibility to do walking or day care during the week and can facilitate boarding on some weekends! Please reach out for availability!! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I can come to you or you can drop your fur baby off to me! I have a fully fenced yard (high fence) and also have two different sized crates depending on your fur baby's needs!
“Carey was literally amazing, I am so happy she was able to take my dogs for a night on a day of request. Seriously so sweet with the sweetest kids that played and loved on my pups for a night. No complaints and so happy to have found her!!!”
“Hali and Levi are the best! They kept me up to date on my sweet baby while we were vacationing and very transparent when there was a boo boo involved. Hali jumped to take her to the vet for me just for reassurance! It was nothing Hali or Levi did, my little one just decided to be clumsy! I would 10 out of 10 recommend Hali and Levi for your pet sitting!”
“Sydney is so sweet and my baby, Coffee adored her. She sent me pics everyday and is very quick with texting you back. My flight back home got delayed and she worked with me and I can't thank her enough. Any trips I take from now on, I will be contacting her!”
“Laura is as exceptional with our dogs. Extremely responsive, sent lots of pictures and I could tell that our dogs were calm and comfortable with her. She made sure to have a meet and greet first and made sure all dogs were comfortable and a good fit. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone needing some peace of mind for their pets while they go out of town. Not only that, she helped one of our fast eaters find a better bowl. Completely above and beyond!!! Thank you laura.”
“Abigail communicated well and took good care of Cleo. She sent photos and kept me up to date. Cleo seemed to have a good time also. Just be sure to be clear if you only are looking for your pet to be the only dog as Cleo ended up boarding with another dog even though the sitters profile only indicated one pet at a time.”
About: I grew up working on a farm and have always had dogs in my life. I have a sweet goldendoodle of my own. Currently attending dog grooming school at CFCC! 🐕 🐾 I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Enjoy being outdoors and would love to meet some new furry friends to join me! I have extensive pet sitting experience and will love yours like my own. I prioritize being present with your pet and communicating if any questions arise. *I DO NOT ACCEPT RESERVATIONS AT HOTELS*
“Cosette and her daughter took great care of Honey while I was away! Honey was a little nervous and had a hard time eating so she pulled out all the tricks to ensure she ate while we were gone!”
About: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arrowhead
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kim! She was incredibly professional, attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring from start to finish. Bailey requires medication and can be a little anxious, so finding someone I completely trust with her means everything. Kim went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while keeping me reassured with frequent updates and photos. It was so heartwarming to see how much Bailey enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her children! It was clear she wasn’t just being looked after, but was genuinely welcomed and loved. Being able to enjoy my time away knowing Bailey was in such wonderful hands was priceless. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I’ve already booked her again for this weekend! I couldn’t recommend her more highly and am so grateful to have found someone I trust so completely with Bailey!
Ellie gets along great with this family, who is so loving and kind to her. She came home a happy and contented dog. Great at responding to emails and sending me pictures while I was away, making my trip far more enjoyable without worrying about my dog. No doubt, they are my number 1 pick for dog care.
I used rover.com for the first time to find a sitter for a weekend. I am thankful to have found Hilary for our German Shepherd puppy. She responded quickly to my first message and was very responsive throughout the weekend. I so appreciated her updates, texts and photos. Fortunately, she has a very sweet and well adjusted dog herself so that my dog had an immediate playmate and new Bestie. I strongly recommend Hilary for your pet! I wish I could give her more than five stars. I will definitely reserve with her again next time I am in town.
Angela is fabulous! We drove from a long distance, our arrival time was uncertain, and Angela was so kind to work with us. Most importantly, our dog seemed to have a great experience. She connected with Angela from the start, and clearly had a good time while she stayed. She was calm and happy when we picked her up. Thank you, Angela, for the walks and cuddles that kept our girl happy! I highly recommend Angela as a Rover sitter!
We had a wonderful experience boarding our dog with Kim for a week! This was the first time our dog had ever been boarded in someone’s home, so naturally, we were a little nervous and worried about how she would do. From the very beginning, Kim made us feel comfortable and reassured. Kim took excellent care of our dog. We especially appreciated the photos and videos she sent. We will definitely use her again.
Amy and family took great care of my boys. Thank you! I received photos and updates from Amy. The boys seemed so comfortable when I came to pick them up. They even catered to Marley’s addiction to TV. Awesome experience. I will definitely book with Amy again. Thanks again!
This was the first time we booked with Lisa. It was a "last minute" request. Lisa quickly agreed to host Demetri and we squeezed in a meet and greet the same day I booked. That's flexibility. Lisa has dogs and our boy fit into with the pack no problem. We would book with Lisa again.
This was our first time booking with Jessica and Kevin. They did a great job taking care of our bernedoddle. They have a huge backyard and a playful dog, Howie, so our dog had a blast. Jessica is a great communicator. She sent photos and kept us posted on how everything was going. We will book with them again!
She was absolutely amazing with my baby girl Bella, constantly gave me updates and sent lots of pictures. It made being away a lot easier when I knew how well taken care of she was! I definitely recommend her if you’re in need of someone trustworthy to watch your pup.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Arrowhead home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Arrowhead.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Arrowhead sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
