“Larry and Pam were the absolute best! They sent me daily updates and photos of Oliver and gave me complete peace of mind. We will definitely reach out again if we need to board him in the future!!”

“Coco is my mini Dachshund shadow, and fur companion. We have bonded in our 5 weeks since her adoption. She has been a great source of comfort in a quiet home since the passing of my spouse. Kimberly and her family were available to care for my lil Diva Princess, on short notice. The original boarder was no longer available and I had a trip planned to visit with my daughter out of state. I am truly grateful for the new connection we have made with Kimberly. CoCo was integrated into her family as if she was their own, and I sincerely appreciate the love and care they extended to her. Kimberly’s daughter, Ava spent a lot of time loving CoCo, playing with her, and teaching her new tricks. If you are looking for a sitter that will treat your fur pup like her own, then I encourage you to reach out and try Kimberly.”

“Absolutely awesome. Amber was very kind and attentive taking care of our dog. He is blind and sometimes has potty troubles when in new places. She took that in stride, and when it seemed like his stomach was upset she even made him chicken and rice with pumpkin to help him feel better. Can't say enough! We are so very thankful to her, and her family, welcoming our dog into their home and treating him well.”

“They were very flexible with my last-minute time changes. Due to transportation issues, I had to change drop off times twice. I love the pictures sent to me while away.”

“I hate to send this glowing review because I want to keep Pam’s schedule open just for me!! ? She literally is an answer to prayer. Being newly empty nesters, we’ve been wanting to take several short trips but had no one to keep our 10 year old dog. She’s never been boarded so we didn’t want to go that route. We found Pam through Rover and booked with her because of the rave reviews. And, she was better than any of our expectations. She LOVED on our girl, sent pics and updates every day, and Lexi came home so happy, healthy, and with no separation anxiety. We feel so blessed to have found Pam and her husband Dave was awesome with Lexi as well. Thank you so much!!!”

“Naomi was great with Bandit! He was able to run around her fenced in back yard and watch murder mysteries! We got picture updates and kept up to date with all his adventures.”
About: 🐾 About Me Pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. ❤️ I’m a military spouse and lifelong animal lover. Before being stationed in North Carolina, I spent six years working at an animal hospital in Rhode Island, where I worked as a veterinary assistant, cared for animals in the kennel, and provided dog-sitting services. I truly understand how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about mine. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want for my own.

About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
About: Hi there! My name is Miles and I was raised to love animals I actually grew up on a farm surrounded by horses, chickens, dogs, cats, and more! Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I currently have two pups of my own — one I rescued 8 years ago and another I adopted just last year — and they’ve only deepened my love and understanding of all kinds of pets. I have a very flexible schedule right now and am more than happy to work with you to fit your (and your fur babies’) needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like my own! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily adjust to fit you and your pet’s needs — whether that’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra cuddle time.

“I have never left my dog with anyone that i wasn’t sure about. Morgan made me and my pup feel comfortable and safe. I really love the way she would keep me updated everyday that he was there. She worked around my schedule and helped me with any concerns I had. I highly recommend Morgan for your dog sitter ! 😊”

About: I’m a SAHM whose 2 year toddler can’t seem to get enough of our own fluffy friends! We can’t to play with yours! I have had my own 2 dogs for about 8-9 years but have had animals my whole life growing up on a diary farm. June is our blue nose staffordshire terrier who lives for fetch followed by a good snooze and kisses and Mila is our fluff ball of joy and crazy eyes, who unfortunately never quite runs out of energy and can sometimes be a bit mischievous like many other high energy husky’s so I have much experience with caring for high energy dogs! While staying with me you can be sure to know your dog will have plenty of room to roam in and outside of our house with our 1 acre yard that is perfect for some chuck-it fetch time and being able to do their business with plenty of room. I also pride myself in keeping my home clean to include the outside so you never have to worry about your dogs picking up any illness during their time with in our home. We can’t wait for your little four legged friends to have a comfortable and worry free stay with us! Home all day unless I gotta take a quick trip to the grocery store or get a little workout in. I usually workout that leaves us from the house for no more than 2 hrs. I have a fully fenced in acre back yard that is cleaned daily to ensure the yard stays as poop free as possible and keep a clean and tidy home so dogs are not in danger of consuming old toys or other objects that they may have a hard time digesting. We also have hard wood floors which helps with my allergy prone visitors!

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 Keener 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 Keener.
<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 Keener 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.
