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.
“Being new to the area, we were looking for someone to board our older Golden Retriever during a night away. We found Christopher and Rachelle to be attentive and sweet caretakers, i felt he was in good hands. At the meet and greet they made sure our dog mixed well with theirs as well as asking about any other special needs requests. They are at the top of our list when we need to board again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Kernersville is $40

Walker seemed to have a great time and Paige was super sweet and very responsive. We received lots of pictures of Walker playing outside and being cozy on the furniture. The whole family really made Walker one of their own and we would book with Paige again anytime!
We are so thankful for the wonderful care they provided to Pluto! The daily updates were especially appreciated and gave us reassurance throughout our trip. They were responsive , flexible, and very accommodating with Plutos's food requirements and our late pick up. Most importantly,Pluto was well cared for. We would definitely trust them with him again.
Gabrielle was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and made me feel comfortable and at ease while I was away. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and well taken care of. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which I really appreciated, and I could tell my dog was in good hands. I’m so grateful for Gabrielle and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!

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.
94% of sitters in Kernersville 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 Kernersville 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 Kernersville.
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 Kernersville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Kernersville 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.
