“Amy was great! We made a request somewhat late. She did not hesitate to accept. She watched our 2 boys while we did an excursion for the day. She greeted us and right away was super friendly with the boys. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our babies for the day. She checked in to let us know how they were doing. The boys were worn out when we picked them up.😀 We even discussed booking her next year when we come back! Highly recommend her!”
“Ms Mary was incredibly patient and loving with Rooster the 3 days she watched him. He was very nervous but she took the time to let him get comfortable, which made things so much easier and less stressful for both Rooster and I. Would recommend Ms Mary any day.”
“Amanda took great care of Chloe during Chloe’s doggy day care visit! Her space is beautiful, with plenty of outdoor space for the dogs to roam freely. I will definitely be using Amanda again in the future!”
“So awesome! Really went above and beyond when we were in a bind! And was gracious when we held him up. Hugely recommend! His yard is perfect for pups aa well! You can tell he really cares:)”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I am a trustworthy retired RN who is looking to spoil your dogs while you are away. I am a non-smoker and very active with walking/hikes and pickleball. I am retired now for 5 years and spend my day actively with hike/bikes/pickleball to name a few activities. I am available most days with proper notice. I do not have a fenced yard but do have a 7-year-old dog named Dori who gets her exercise walking daily. If you pup likes fenced in yards caring for your dog would be better at your home.
“Kaitlyn is a wonderful dog sitter. She sent pictures that showed Abby in various activities throughout the day. It was obvious that Abby enjoyed her time with Kaitlyn, her dog and daughter. She was extremely flexible on the drop-off and pick-up times. This was our first time to use her and she will be our first choice in future bookings. Thank you, Kaitlyn!!”

“Adam es el mejor, se preocupó mucho por el bienestar de Bella y nos mantuvo informados con fotos y videos todo el tiempo! Es mi primera vez dejando a mi bebé con alguien y estaba indecisa pero Adam hizo que nos sintiéramos muy tranquilos durante todo el día. Gracias gracias!!”
“Christal was great! My pup, who is often initially sad when we leave her with a sitter, loved Christal immediately and had a great time. She went above and beyond, taking my dog on a long walk at Forest Park. Wish I was a local so I could re-book!”
About: I have had pets all my life and at this time I have 2 very gentle German Shepherds that get along well with other dogs. I actually jog 3 miles with one of them several times a week so taking dogs for a walk will not be a problem. I have a part time job that I work out of my house so I am available everyday except Sunday mornings when I go to church. My husband is a firefighter/paramedic and has showed me some CPR. He will be around some days and will be able to assist me if need be. I am at a time in my life right now where I have the time to enjoy my pets and would love to offer my services to people with their fur-babies. I am retired and so is my husband. We just love all dogs and this gives us lots of pleasure being able to care for them. I have a wraparound porch in the mountains that has a closed gate. Also, have an area that is fenced with a ramp going down to this fenced yard, dogs can go freely.

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 Cullowhee 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 80 sitters in Cullowhee, 100% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
