“Recently got a red lab puppy and had to go out of town. Leslie provided excellent care for the puppy and we are using her to watch Lucy, now 6 months old during our vacation this summer. Highly recommended”
“We had an amazing experience with Kayla and family watching our Tate! From the moment we dropped Tate off, we knew he was in great hands. They truly treated him like he was their own—making sure he was well cared for, loved, and comfortable the entire time. What we appreciated most was the constant communication. They stayed in contact with us throughout our vacation and sent plenty of photos, which gave us a peace of mind. We will absolutely be bringing him back and using Kayla and family again. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, we highly recommend them!”

“Sam was awesome and treated my baby girl as if she were her own! photos were sent of the fun time that was had while we were also having a great time! We will most definitely be contacting her again for our next planned vacation!”

“Teddy stayed with Illy and Tre for 6 nights. They were very communicative and made drop off/pickup easy and smooth. They responded to texts immediately and sent photos of Teddy every day. Seeing Teddy so happy playing in their backyard put me at ease and made my time away so much easier! Thank you Illy and Tre for caring for Teddy so well. I'll definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Peaches. From the moment we arrived, she and her family seemed to connect with Peaches immediately. I was initially apprehensive about leaving her in a home with other dogs, but any concerns quickly disappeared when Peaches started playing with her new friends before we could even leave. Throughout the stay, Michelle provided daily photos and kept us updated on Peaches's eating habits and potty activities, which gave us great peace of mind. Peaches also enjoyed plenty of exercise, including daily walks on the nearby trails. It's clear that Michelle genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like part of the family. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Brittany took wonderful care of our dog, Lola. She sent pictures and videos everyday and had plenty of love and care. Lola has become best friends with her poodle too!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Cottonville 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 Cottonville 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 Cottonville.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottonville. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Cottonville 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
