“Communication was great! For our first time we felt so comfortable leaving our baby! I was a nervous wreck but was constantly comforted with messages and pictures! She was in great hands during our absence. When we left she was so excited to see us but also so sad to leave her new family. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you for taking great care of our girl and for being so flexible!”
“Another wonderful stay with John B.! Daisy was happy to arrive and remembered John’s and his home even though it had been a while since our last visit. John’s daily picture updates are a nice touch as well.”
“Lauren and her wonderful family are the very best sitters and genuinely love dogs. This is Ollie's second time visiting, and I know he's happy and loved; he always has a blast playing with Lauren's dog, Milo. Thank you!”
“We've been using Jenn for over a year now, and every experience has been absolutely wonderful. She takes such great care of our dogs, they always come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Jenn goes above and beyond with regular updates and tons of adorable photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we're away. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so dependable, kind, and attentive. Jenn is truly an amazing sitter and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dogs!”
“I’m always very grateful to Dalton for taking such great care of Coco. You can tell he treats him with so much love and attention because every time Coco comes home, he is always happy and content. Thank you, Dalton, for taking such great care of our Coco! 🐶❤️”
“This was our second time having Cassie and Tradd watch our dog while we were in vacation and we can’t recommend them enough! He ran right in, so excited to be there, and we always appreciate all the updates they send. Definitely the best home away from home for our fur child ❤️”
“So happy with our experience with Ricardo! He treated our lab just like family, and by the photos I could tell just how much Bailey was enjoying himself at the farm! He got ample play and love time. Ricardo was great about keeping us up to date on how Bailey was doing every day! We were very busy day of and chose to have pick up and drop off which was also very easy! Overall, I highly recommend Ricardo and will use him any other time Bailey needs to be boarded!”
“Gail was excellent! She sent photos to reassure us that our dogs were doing well. My very nervous dog was completely comfortable and didn't even whine to go home when I arrived for pickup. It's clear they had a great time with Gail.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, including senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, and care. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether they love walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. Because I’m home, I’m able to easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, walks, medications, naps, and whatever routine your dog is used to. I only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup will get lots of individual attention while staying with me. Your dog will be welcomed into our home like part of the family. We have a house with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs are welcome to relax on our furniture and even sleep in our bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I only board one dog at a time, which allows me to provide a calm, comfortable environment and plenty of personal attention. We also have Eddie, our 17-year-old Maltese, who loves other animals and is extremely calm, easygoing, and mostly interested in relaxing these days. I want your dog’s stay to feel as close to home as possible, so I’m happy to follow their normal routines, preferences, and little quirks that make them feel comfortable.
“Lily had another wonderful stay with Amanda! I'm pretty sure she thinks of it as her home away from home. : ) From the pics I can see Lily makes herself right at home there and looks so happy and comfy. We are so grateful for Amanda and all the attention she gives Lily to make her feel so welcomed in her home.”
“She was so great with my little boy. I just knew as sweet as my baby was, she would have to end the stay early. But she was so kind and patient with him. She sent pictures and videos of him and what he was up to. He was able to have the same one on one time with her like he would work my regular schedule. He had a ball. If she allows him back, I will definitely book with her again.”
“Nicole is amazing! She has watched our dogs multiple times and has become our go to sitter. We don’t have the easiest of dogs and her expertise have been amazing!”
“Jordan was amazing with my puppy! She always updated me, listened to all my instructions, and took amazing care of her. Would definitely trust her with my dog again!”
“Our 1 year old Great Pyrenees mix was so happy during her stay with Sara and her golden retriever Scarlet! We loved the updates Sara provided and Nina was taken great care of! We are so happy that we have found a family that cares just as much about Nina as we do :) We will absolutely be contacting Sara for our future stay needs!”
“I was so nervous about leaving my Bella but immediately after meeting Linda I was at ease. I loved her spirit, the environment, and the love she has for animals. Bella was well taken care of and roamed as if it was her house upon picking her up lol. I will gladly take Bella back whenever we travel. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“Michelle was an absolute dream sitter! Communication, updates and pictures were so consistent and brightened my day! She kept me posted on my pups health and all of his fun activities! He is often overwhelmed by other pups but her Zoey was so wonderful to hang out and play with my max. I could see how happy he was with Michelle and how well he was loved and cared for. 1000% recommend to everyone! I couldn’t ask for any better!!”
“Chris takes such good care of my little fella that Dash looks forward to seeing him and knows he will get lots of walks, love and attention during his stay. I think he’s fantastic!”
“Leah was very friendly and took good care of my Daisy girl. She also took my booking request really last minute, lifesaver! My pooch came back relaxed and happy, and apparently didnt have any problems with the super friendly resident lab.”
“Tammy was absolutely wonderful with Macie! She took such great care of her during the 5 days she watched her, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves dogs. Tammy kept me updated every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Macie was happy and well cared for when I came back, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Tammy to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”

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 Knotts Island home-away-from-home, 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 Knotts Island.
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.
You and your Knotts Island 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 , 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 .
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.
