“I recently moved to NC and needed to find boarding for my dachshund, and I’m so grateful I found Ashley! From our very first conversation through the meet-and-greet and then the big event — his two-night stay — she truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease leaving Barkley with her. Her genuine love and care for animals is apparent, and she treated him like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pup!”
“Linda was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time Boarding our dog Bailey and we were so nervous but once we saw the acres of land where the dogs could play we immediately felt relief. She was so kind in sending tons of photos and videos of our pup having the time of his life! We were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! Highly recommend her”
“This was the 3rd time we had Molly sitting Kiki during our vacation. Molly sent daily pictures about Kiki's activities and we were so happy to see her under good care while we were away.”
“Jenny is excellent and took great care of my dog and treated her like family and was giving me updates and pictures of her every Day and she gave me a piece of mind knowing she’s in safe hands with Jenny . Definitely recommend and will use her again for future”
“Emily and Will had the perfect setup for our Aussie — a house with two friendly pups and a spacious fenced-in yard. We appreciated that they keep their Rover pups to a maximum of two, so our girl got plenty of attention! They were also very communicative throughout the stay and sent plenty of cute pics. Also, also just really kind, friendly people! We’d definitely book them again.”
“Masie lived her best life while staying with Alex and his family, especially being able to stretch her legs in their fenced in backyard and the hike they took her on!! She and I both rate her stay a 10/10 ~ Definitely recommend! 🐾💜”
“Alison was fantastic, I was very nervous especially leaving Jake with a sitter for the first time. Alison was very attentive and sent pictures of Jake playing ball. I highly recommend Alison and will definitely use her again.”
“Yara and Angel were great watching my babies! They sent daily updates and pictures and my boys thoroughly enjoyed playing with their daughter!! Will definitely contact them for future dog sitting!”
“Qian is amazing! We boarded our Golden with her over Labor Day weekend. She was incredibly responsive and sent daily updates with photos of walks, deck relaxation, and food updates. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Cole had an amazing time with Mary & Jonathan during his 2 week stay at their place. We felt so comfortable with them taking the best care of him while we were out of the country. They sent frequent updates, followed his semi-complicated routine, and made him feel at home!”
“Went above and beyond. Very caring and conscientious. Great communication. Sent a lot of pictures. We knew our dog was in very good hands. Would definitely use again.”
“Michelle and her family far exceeded my expectations for a sitter for our Goldendoodle Gracie!! From the meet and greet to the drop off to the pick up this family was amazing with our dog. Not only did they take excellent care of her while we were away but they sent me daily pictures, videos and updates about how she was doing!! I felt very comfortable leaving Gracie and will 1000% be using this family again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy with our experience! Vanessa was wonderful with our dog and sent us updates and photos. We will definitely go back to Vanessa again!”
“Sharon took great care of our little dog and tended to him when he came down with an upset tummy. We appreciate the communication throughout his stay with her! Always good to see pictures of him walking out in the woods and sleeping peacefully in his bed.”
“It was our first experience with Danielle. She was very professional, very responsive with her communications. She was very caring and loving towards our 4 year old German Shepherd. We felt very confident from the moment we left and till pickup that our pet was in safe hands. We would highly recommend her services to any and all pet owners who are looking for dedicated home care for their furry kids. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DANIELLE!”
“So incredibly thankful Joi & Lynda were able to watch my Simba! He is incredibly shy and they sent photos/videos of him cuddling and playing with them! Our flights were delayed coming home and they kept him longer for us! We would definitely request for them to watch Simba again if they’ll have us!”
“Krystene and her family are awesome! My dog Wilbur has stayed with them twice now and we had a great experience both times. Wilbur can have a lot of separation anxiety, so it was amazing to see how comfortable he was with Krystene even after staying with her only once. Would definitely recommend Krystene!”
“Our dogs came home happy and healthy. Kristen was very communicative and seemed to genuinely care for our (everyone’s) dogs. We will absolutely reach out to her the next time we vacation. We’re very pleased to have this resource and encourage others to trust her with your dogs.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Haywood 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 Haywood 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 Haywood.
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 Haywood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Haywood 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.
