About: I have been around for 19 years and have owned a pet every single one of them. I have nursed my childhood dog from his rescuse up until his trip to heaven. I adore taking care of my babies I have right now both dogs and cats. I have given my most recent kitten her shots and have been able to teach almost all my pets simple things like sitting and staying. I love spending time with animals and would appreciate time in caring for yours. I am available all day on weekends and during the weekdays I can come in early in the morning to Feed, Walk, or any other Care you would like extended to your pets. I get off work around 3 and can show up to your residence at 4:00 or anytime after for Bed Time, Sitting, Walks, Feeding, and anything else you would like done. I can stay and entertain your animal in your home, keeping them fed and safe. I am fairly active so taking trips to the park and going on walks is always a welcome activety. In the event I am asked to care for your pet in my home I myself have 2 kittens and 2 rooms in the event that they get scared. My kittens are very outgoing and love playing with eachother so I see no problem. My male kitten is not sexually mature to be neutred yet but in a few weeks we have an appointment set up. I will update this when he gets fixed.
About: I have a flexible schedule at the moment and would love to help you out with your pet! We have a backyard - it is not fenced in yet but will be soon. We also have a golden retriever of our own named Millie. She is as sweet as can be and gets along with other dogs and animals. I am comfortable and willing to help with all kinds of dogs- preferably, kind and obedient. I can provide the love, care and exercise your dog needs! If you are interested please let me know. I have a flexible schedule right now during the summer months and have plenty of time to help. Plenty of opportunities for walks, play time, and adventures I have a yard and another pup to keep yours occupied! I will always have eyes on the animals and will make sure they are fed, have water, and go outside regularly. If I am visiting a home I will make sure to follow all directions given by the owner.

We have used Jason several times now for our Daisy and he goes above and beyond every time. I can’t recommend him enough. It takes so much weight off our shoulders knowing she is in a loving house with a big sunny backyard and humans to snuggle. He is truly a fur baby lover 🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Emerald Isle is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 179 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Emerald Isle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of sitters in Emerald Isle 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 Emerald Isle home-away-from-home, 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 Emerald Isle.
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.
You and your Emerald Isle 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 , 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 .
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.
