“Our dogs are pretty hard headed and hard to get along with, but they loved Brittany. From the first meet & greet all the way through the boarding, they were loved and valued as if they were her own dogs! She gave us so many photos and updates so we were always in-the-know on how our dogs were doing. Brittany is so thoughtful she noticed one dog had some bad dry skin so she gave her an oatmeal bath to make her more comfortable. We will definitely be contacting Brittany again!”
“Isabel was great to work with. She came in so clutch, after our original sitter got sick, and we needed to scramble to find someone in a day. It ended up being the best thing that could have happened - as Isabel did a wonderful job. She was fast to respond, and scheduled a meet and greet right away. She lives in a rural area, and has a fenced in backyard - which is ideal for dogs like Brady to roam free and have fun. She was also great about sending pictures and updates - without me having to ask, which I really appreciated. Brady seemed to have a wonderful time, and I'd highly recommend her.”
“Thank you June for taking such great care of my two pups. You made me and them feel at ease as soon as we walked that the door. I especially enjoyed the pics and videos to let me know how they are doing.”
“Ross and Sarah were absolutely amazing! I am blown away with how much time and care they put in to caring for my sweet special boy. They were so understanding of his quirks and they communicated clearly on how he was doing and what they were doing to help him be happy and comfortable. They sent many pictures and videos daily so I can see just how happy and how much fun he was having. Their patience, adaptability, and knowledge was everything to make me feel comfortable knowing my boy was in good hands. I couldn't give higher praise and will be happy to recommend them and ask them to watch my dog again in the future.”
“Mary and William were AMAZING with our kitten! They sent pictures and kept in contact. They were very welcoming and took very good care of our baby. We will definitely use them again!”
“Colleen watched our dog Bear for a weekend and she is absolutely fantastic. She is kind and caring and Bear really enjoyed the time with her. He was well cared for and she went above and beyond. It was our first time leaving him for an extended period and we had no worries while Bear was in her care. I would 100% recommend her.”
“Candice did an amazing job. This was the first time I have ever left my dog with an overnight sitter so I was nervous. With Candice I had no worries at all. She kept me updated with my dog, made sure he had everything he needed. I would definitely book her again for an overnight trip. Thank you!”
About: I have been in the vet field for 12 years and a registered Veterinarian Technician for 6 of those. I have a special place in my heart for senior and special needs pets. I currently have 5 dogs that are all older and been taken in when their owners could no longer care for them. Me and my family will treat your fur baby as our own. Truly a home away from home. I am currently only working 2 days a week so my schedule if very flexible. Other than those 2 days I am a stay at home mom. I have a fenced in yard and other dogs to keep yours company. My dogs are older, so not hyper and usually calm, unless it’s time for dinner :) I have 2 levels to my home so we can rotate dogs as needed for individual play time or cuddles. We also have the available set up and space to keep your dog separate if they prefer to be away from children. If your dog prefers be the only dog or need some alone/down time, we can make that happen too.
“Mary was fantastic. She kept me updated with how my dog, Gemma, was adjusting and sent great photos that made it obvious her family was enjoying Gemma and Gemma was loving her time there as well.”
“Lakonka was theeee best sitter. From the meet and greet to the end of Phoebe’s stay, she was extremely professional, super friendly and easy to communicate with. I received pictures or a video every day which is truly appreciated when I’m away from my baby awhile. I highly recommend Lakonka for your fur baby’s needs. So much so, I’ve already coordinated the next time Phoebe will be in her care :)”
“Scott and his family always take such good care of our dog. They send lots of pics and videos of her playing. She loves getting to go see all the kids and play with them.”
About: My experience for the last 7 years has been raising and training working search and rescue dogs. I also have a combined 10 years of volunteering and fostering with rescues and animal shelters. I especially love caring for senior dogs ensuring they are given their best years with the love and grace they deserve. As my jobs for the last 12 years have been working from home, I have time to also take care of your pets! My 3 dogs and 1 cat are my family and I understand the trust you need for me to take care of your family as well. If your dog is staying with me, they will enjoy 13 fenced-in acres with supervised exploration and playtime. When not outside playing, they will stay in my home with me. I also have heavy duty indestructible crates for those that need the extra help staying in their crate!
About: As a former pet owner, I have firsthand experience caring for pets and understand the attention, patience, and love/affection that they need to thrive. I'm committed to treating each pet like they are my own. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks and exercise are already part of my routine. I live in a residential neighborhood that is perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. With nearby parks and plenty of safe walking routes, your pet will enjoy lots of exercise, fresh air, and attention while in my care.
“Kimberly was the absolute best. She allowed me and nova to come over a couple of days before our scheduled appointment and allowed nova to get adjusted to her space. Kimberly was super accommodating to nova and sent me pictures and updates throughout nova's boarding. I was super nervous because this was my first time boarding nova but Kimberly eased that anxiety with her kindness, care for nova, and professionalism. Thank you Kimberly!”
“Christina was an amazing sitter for my dog! She was super communicative with me and provided updates everyday and at my request. I could tell that my dog was super taken care of and was able to live comfortably the entirety of her stay. I would highly recommend if you’re looking to drop off your pet in good hands!”

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.
95% of sitters in Franklinville 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 Franklinville 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 Franklinville.
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 Franklinville. On Rover:

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 Franklinville 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.
