“Margaret was very patient with me since it was my first time using this service. She was very understanding and easy to communicate with. I will definitely use her again!”

“If y’all need a sitter in the Goldsboro area, Naomi is the one to go to! She was so caring of my dog and treated him amazingly. So great that he didn’t want to leave her place when I got back. All jokes aside Naomi did a phenomenal job at taking care of my lil boy. Highly recommend her!”

“We were so pleased with the care Allison showed our fur babies. She kept in touch through messages and plenty of pictures to reassure us that they were doing great! I would definitely recommend her for your fur babies home away from home. We’ll definitely let our babies stay again.”

About: “I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets, particularly dogs.

I also have that available.

“Kentrice was very patient and understanding of CoCo, our mini Dachshund. Coco had been in our home for only 3 weeks when I had to go out of town for work. It was an adjustment for the both of us and the puppy in her was a little trying as she adjusted to the numerous transitions she was experiencing. Kentrice was very knowledgeable and share many many tips to aid in training CoCo which has been greatly appreciated.”

“Thomas and Margaret were wonderful! They were very flexible with pick up and drop off times and were communicative of how my pup was doing during his stay. I will definitely rebook with them in the future. :)”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my 3 fur babies. My 3 girls have never been anywhere without me. Likewise, I have never traveled without them. However, I was caught in a situation where I needed a fur baby sitter ASAP. My girls had some anxiety issues and Shannon was extremely understanding, calming, kept me up to date, and my heart at ease. I highly recommend Shannon and look forward to using her services in the future if the need arises! Thank you Shannon! You are awesome!”

“We are always able to count on Katrina to take good care of our pups! They are always excited to see her so we know that they have been well taken care in her hands. One of my pups had a special circumstance this visit and Katrina made sure that she kept a close eye on her and made accommodations based on the situation. As always I definitely recommend Katrina!”

About: I’ve always been a lover of animals. I have my own 2 cats and doggo and they’re my whole world. Before that I had family dogs and cats ever since I was young and they were my favorite thing to see when I came home after a long day. I love to workout with people themselves and animals! It benefits everyone to get up and move throughout the day. Plus dogs should get to experience the world around them too! I’m a stay at home mom, I am expecting our first baby in December. So once the baby is here, I may take a break for a little bit, but I’ll be back! I’m available to walk during typical business hours while my husband is working. I have a two story spacious home with a large fenced in backyard! Our bedroom is on the first floor so even if the dogs are older, they wouldn’t need to go up any stairs. I have a loving dog that will play and run around with them and 2 cats! One is super friendly and will play with them. The other is a little more timid and will most likely just hide.

Once again Kimberly never seems to amaze us because here standard of care is above & beyond our expectations. Elphie loves her visits there more and more. This is our 3rd time booking with Kimberly and it wont be our last. There's no else we would recommend for our Elphie.

Excellent experience with Megan. My dog Harvey essentially became part of Megan’s household and family. She is capable of giving meds daily. Her children are very dog loving and Harvey bonded with both of her boys. Megan is very warm and welcoming and I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!

This was our second time leaving our pups with Jackie, and we are so thankful for her being willing to keep them on a holiday weekend last minute! She sent many pictures and updates throughout their stay and responded quickly any time we reached out. Highly, highly recommend trusting your fur babies with this sweet lady. Thank you so much!! :)

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 Elroy 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 Elroy.
<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 Elroy 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.
