About: I grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds—including cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens—which taught me from an early age how to care for different animals. I truly consider pets to be a part of the family, and I look forward to treating your pup with the same love and devotion I give my own. I am a proud owner of two wonderful dogs: a 6-year-old Samoyed and a 6-year-old Pomsky. Because I work from home, I am around all day to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of loving affection. Why My Home is a Dog Paradise • Massive Yard: Your dog will have full access to a 1/2-acre, completely fenced-in backyard perfect for zoomies, fetch, and safe outdoor exploration. • Spacious House: Inside, there is lots of open space for your dog to stretch out, play, or find a cozy spot to nap. • Full-Time Supervision: Since I work from home, your dog's safety and comfort are monitored throughout the day. My Services • Doggy Daycare: Perfect for workdays when you want your dog to have company, playtime, and a huge yard to run in. • Boarding (Overnight): A comfortable, cage or cage-free stay where your dog is treated like a member of our family. Because I work from home full-time, our daily routine is flexible, highly attentive, and packed with a perfect balance of structure, play, and rest. Secure 1/2-Acre Yard: My large backyard is entirely fenced-in and securely gated. Leaving your pet with someone new requires immense trust, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Growing up with a wide variety of animals and managing my own two dogs has taught me how to create a highly secure, stress-free, and structured environment.
“Vervica took such great care of our dog! She sent pictures and updates everyday and always responded in a timely manner. She was so accommodating and loved our girl like her own. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Claudia and Bryan are amazing. This was the first time I had to leave my pup overnight and they sent so many videos and photos to make sure that I could still have the happiness of my pup while I was away. He seemed to absolutely love it there. I greatly appreciate them and would highly recommend!”
“Mark was super accommodating. I was nervous for my puppy to go to a new environment and Mark was able to meet my puppy before confirming booking. He was attentive and kept me up to date with photos. Charlie definitely has a forever sitter with Mark!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cornelius
My usual dog sitter wasn’t available, and I needed someone that very day for a last minute trip. Lisa responded immediately, and once I met her I was confident I was leaving Ellie in great hands. She took wonderful care of Ellie on such short notice and was excellent at communicating, sending pictures throughout the stay. Ellie loved playing with Lisa’s dogs and was clearly happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Lisa and will definitely use her again!
Natia was fantastic! She was super easy to coordinate with and I felt very confident that my pup was in great hands. She sent frequent updates throughout the weekend. When we went to pick Baxter up, he didn’t want to leave!! Will absolutely be using Natia in the future
I would definitely recommend Collin. I could tell my puppy was well taken care of and loved in my absence. As a first time dog mom I was very nervous to leave my pup and Collin made things easier for me. He gave me updates, sent pictures and helped ease my worries while away. I plan to use Collin again for my upcoming travel arrangements.
Nancy was wonderful! This was Link’s first time staying with her, and it was obvious from the start how comfortable he was. I think he would have happily stayed longer if he could! Nancy kept me updated with messages and pictures, and every time I heard from her, it looked like Link was having the time of his life. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and so well cared for. I highly recommend Nancy!
Arya is a very attentive, experienced, and caring dog sitter. She took amazing care of my dog, sharing updates throughout the stay and going on lots of walks. My dog can be a bit anxious during stays and Arya quickly made her feel welcome and comfortable in her home. Would very much recommend to anyone looking for pet care.
I couldn't have asked for any better care! My dog was relaxed and happy staying with Joseph and Christine. They gave her the meds she needed and provided love, care, and exercise. In addition, I was provided with daily pictures and updates - more than once a day. Best dog care ever!
We are so grateful to have found Brianna, especially on fairly short notice! From the start, she was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and quick to arrange a meet-and-greet, which gave us great peace of mind. Brianna and her husband took such thoughtful, attentive care of Parker. It was clear they truly cared about her comfort and happiness. Her sweet little dogs were a wonderful bonus - Parker absolutely loves being around smaller dogs and had the best time with them! We especially appreciated how attentive Brianna was to Parker’s special needs. She gets anxious during thunderstorms and just needs lots of cuddles, and Brianna was more than happy to give her the extra comfort and reassurance she needed. Overall, Brianna went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and thoughtful dog sitter
Dawn took wonderful care of our puppy, Emi, and made our first Rover experience a great one. She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout Emi’s stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Emi was well looked after and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated Dawn’s communication and the genuine attention she gave to our puppy. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
