“Heather was absolutley wonderful! Her communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept updated and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Ranger was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Heather is fantastic with dogs and treated Ranger like her own. We are so grateful for the great care and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I was worried cause Haushi is a nervous mess usually, but she was right at home with this family! I was away for almost 6 days and it was so reassuring because Lannette sent photos of Haushi every day, sometimes twice a day! Haushi was very well cared for and was much loved by Lannette, her husband, their little girls, and their two pups! Thank you so much Lannette and family for making Haushi a part of your home!!!”
“This was our first time leaving Winkle with someone else and we were super nervous. From the time I dropped Winkle off to the time I picked her up all my nerves went away. Summer really gave me the peace of mind I needed. She constantly sent updates and pictures to let us know how Winkle was doing. I would recommend her to anyone! We will definitely be having Summer keep Winkle for future trips!”
“Ms. Karin was absolutely amazing with my new puppy!!!! She went above and beyond with my little one!!!!! Clean home, big backyard, amazing communication. "Noodle was very well taken care of!!!!! Don't choose anyone else if she's available!!!!”
“We found a jewel in Allison. She was loving to our dog Bailey and I didn’t worry one bit after I met Allison. She had her own dog for Bailey to play with and also a little boy that Bailey clearly loved! I had to go out of town for a drs appointment. It was so nice not to worry about Bailey while she was with Allison. I’ve definitely got a sitter now for Bailey when I have something to do. Thank you Rover and Allison!!”
“I couldn’t have found a better person to take care of my dogs. Monica took such great care of them, showered them with affection, and kept me updated throughout the week. So glad to have found such a great person to take care of my little ones.”
About: I’ve worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility for the last 2 years, and have done volunteering and sitting previously. I’ve cared for many dogs ranging from 8 weeks to in their late senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs as well as administering medication by mouth. I’m currently working and in school part time, so I have some extra time throughout the week and weekends! I am available any weekday except Wednesdays and Fridays. When I’m not in school or working, I would love to care for your pup! I would follow the feeding instructions, making sure your pup has food and water at all necessary times. I would make sure their space is clean, and that they are let out to use the bathroom periodically. To ensure that your pup is safe and comfortable I would love to know their typical habits and behaviors around your home.
“Last minute booking. Nice location with a fenced backyard. I received pictures and updates while gone, along with feedback. While Areli is not Carl’s primary sitter, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. Thank you, ma’am.”
“Margo and Thomas were amazing with Thor! He was a very happy puppy when we picked him up and very tired from all the exercise he got while there. We got daily updates and pictures of how he was doing while we were gone. We will definitely be using them again for all of our dog sitting needs!”
“Mrs. Jennifer and her husband were great with my CoCo. They made us feel very comfortable with the decision to leave CoCo in their care. I was impressed with the opportunity to have a meet and greet before the stay. My first experience with Rover didn't have this opportunity and I was hesitant to use Rover again but an emergency situation came up. I'm thankful that I was able to come across Mrs. Jennifer's profile. CoCo was in a safe, clean environment and it showed when they sent pictures and videos and when I picked her up she was very happy. This was not our experience with Rover before. I will definitely recommend them for your boarding needs and I'll definitely be booking again.”

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 Kinston 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 Kinston.
<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 Kinston 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.
