“Katelyn is an answer to prayer for a dependable Dogsitter who works well with our shy, anxious dog. Yancy warmed up to her quickly and is happy when we greet her after being cared for by Katelyn. When we were between homes for a day, Katelyn graciously cared for Yancy, giving us peace of mind. We trust her to watch our pet anytime and highly recommend her!”

“Leaving Louie with Donna was the absolute best decision! We went on a vacation, and Louie got to have a fantastic little vacation of his own. Donna is such a kind, genuine person, and she truly treated him like one of her own family members. We loved getting all the wonderful photo updates from his big adventure. 20 out of 5 stars—she went completely above and beyond!”

“Buoy was happy and well taken care of while staying with Sidney! She is so flexible on drop off and pick up times. I was so thankful. Always willing to send pictures and updates. Very quick to respond to messages. We will be rebooking a stay soon! So thankful to have a place that Buoy is happy to go to while I’m out of town. The pack that she has welcomed him in seamlessly :)”


“Abigail was warm and loving with Blitz! He was unsure of her at first and she immediately put him at ease--as an experienced fur baby Mom. :) Blitz is very high energy and she handled him very well. Thank you, Abigail, for allowing us to enjoy our vacation while you cared for Blitz.”

“We were extremely happy with the updates the pics and video they sent,and our pup seemed very happy with them. We will be using the again when we return to the area. Lee”

“Lara did a outstanding job with our little dog Izzy. She kept us informed on how Izzy was doing with photos, videos, and text messages since we were gone for two weeks to visit our family in Anchorage. We will definitely use her again. I was afraid that our Izzy wasn't going to want to come back home. I highly recommend that you give her a try. Very reasonable compared to other sitters.”

“Atina is absolutely wonderful! She is very easy going, super kind, and has a home specially set up for older dogs. Communication was great and our dog settled in easily with her!”

“It was our first time using Rover.com. Danielle was fantastic! She set up a meet and greet and a drop off and pick up time that was convenient. Our dog was well cared for, allowed in the big back yard, was given treats and she sent pictures of him! We will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while you’re away I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, exercise, and play. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m happy to introduce them carefully and make sure every pet is comfortable. I can follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and I can crate your dog if needed. Safety, supervision, and making your pet feel at home are always my priorities.
About: Your dog deserves to have fun, feel loved, and be part of the adventure! I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, and I truly believe they’re family. My motto is “They only have one life too, so bring them along!” I love taking pups on walks, adventures, and everyday outings whenever possible, while making sure they get plenty of cuddles, playtime, attention, and love. When you book with me, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re getting someone who will genuinely care about your dog and treat them like they’re my own. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, safe, comfortable, and in loving hands. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog, spoil them a little, keep them active, and give them the attention they deserve, I’d love to meet your pup! Let’s make their next stay an adventure they’ll love! I am currently working from home so I will be available to tend to them all day long. I am also available on the weekends. I have a large fenced in backyard with two friendly dogs, an eight-year-old, female Boston terrier. and a four year-old, female German shorthair pointer. My dogs have full range of the house and are allowed on furniture. I can also crate your dog if you feel more comfortable with that.
“This was my first time ever having to leave a baby behind on vacation and I’m too happy Darlene accepted my request. My baby whom was never away from home or us, adjusted well slowly but they gained his trust. She continued to update me about him throughout the day with pictures included! Thank you again!”


“As with the last sitting, my dog Sweetums had a wonderful time with Joe and Celeste. When we dropped her off for this stay, she knew where she was and was excited to stay. Sweetums is 4 months old but she remembered from her last stay the doggy door they have. She ran back and forth a few times like this is cool. Now I'm going to have to get a doggy door LOL. They treat her like she was their own. And I swear she grew an inch in 4 days. Thanks Joe & Celeste”

“If I could leave more stars I would, I can not recommend Kyle enough! Our pups stayed for a week and had a blast. Kyle kept in contact with updates, brought them to see us (we were local to a fun spot for them to try the beach out), and he took wonderful care of our puppies. If you need a sitter in the area, I would definitely recommend going with Kyle!”


“Trina is the ABSOLUTE BEST dog sitter we could have ever found! She took such good and loving care of our Maltipoo, Sadie. She constantly sent us updates and pictures Sadie. With Trina having a fenced in backyard, Sadie was able to run around and play with Trina’s other pets. It was obvious Sadie was so happy and at peace being watched by Trina. We will most definitely use her services again!!”

“Maddie was absolutely exceptional this past weekend. She provided details and sent pictures and videos and our kids especially appreciated that part. She was such a pleasure and will use her time and time again”

“Family friendly home. Fenced yard and clean. My girls were taken great care of, and I was updated through my vacation. I would recommend Amy and will be booking again.”

“Laura took great care of our high energy pup! He got along well with her pet and got in some great walks too. Great communication as well. We hope to use them again in the future. 5 stars!!”

Atina is nothing short of amazing! She took care of my two dogs, one of which is a senior chiweenie with heart and skin conditions. My dogs were so loved and cared for and I was completely at ease. She was also very accommodating with my schedule for drop off and pick up. I will absolutely book with Atina again!

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.
95% of sitters in Carolina Shores can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Carolina Shores 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 Carolina Shores.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Carolina Shores 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.
