“Rachael and her family were life savers for a last-minute booking! Our dog has little “quirks” that make him not the easiest dog of the bunch but they were so patient and understanding! We could tell Reddy was very comfortable. They’re super friendly to chat with as well! Hope to see them again!”
“My experience with Nicole was very professional and pleasant. Communicating with her was clear and precise, Plus she gave me updates with my puppy throughout the day. When picking up my dog from our home, he was calm and less hyper than he usually is, so I know he enjoyed himself. I plan to scheduled her for more play days when I am unable to be with him for a majority of the day!!!”
“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Kathleen is so great, she kept us updated throughout the whole day and even sent videos of Lola! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her again!”
About: I'm a high school math teacher and my wife works from home full time. Looking to watch after your little guys so we don’t have to get another one. Our dog Penny, has recently passed however we would like to keep her pictures and memory alive on this profile*. Most days I'm up early and dont mind being active and taking morning walks. Experience wise ive taken care of neighbors cats and dogs as a teen and have had 2 dogs myself over my adult years as well as turtles if you care about that. Dropping off your pet at my place seems like the best but I'm open to stopping by your place if need be. One of us is almost always at home full time to care for your pup. My wife loves snuggles and always looking for another blanket buddy We have a large yard and one friendly toddler looking for her next best friend. Overall it is a quiet home with lots of space.
“Mr. Eugene and his family were absolutely wonderful with my boys! I’m always hesitant regarding people watching them unless I personally know them but my boys were definitely in great hands and I am so happy!”
“What can I say about Lorraine’s daughters and husband who watched my furbaby yesterday!??!? They were absolutely AMAZING—10/10!!! I was 100 percent at peace after meeting this beautiful family and putting Sophie in their hands! I will definitely be booking with this family again and again!!!!”

About: We have always had a dog in the home and always will - that's a rule of life. We love the outdoors and have some chickens and plan on getting goats. Animals connect us with nature and with each other and teach us patience and love. Want to return the favor of dog watching for those that helped me throughout my navy career. I'm a nurse currently working M-F 8hr type shifts, and can be available for potty breaks or outdoor breaks. My husband also works the same style shifts and we have a live-in au pair for childcare, but I am your dedicated sitter! We have 3 acres for your dog to play in and a friendly dog and toddler. We have a fenced dog run if needed and space for crates. We also have extra collars for our invisible fence.
“We left our puppy with Dustin for a few hours so he could get familiar with Dexter before we board with him. It was our first time leaving him with other dogs around and was a little nervous. There was absolutely no need! Dustin is great. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and is very professional. Dexter seemed to enjoy himself and was nice and tired! We feel very comfortable with Dexter staying with him while we are away for 3 weeks. Thank you Dustin.”
“Amazing service! My dog seemed very comfortable here and they were very friendly! Even though it was a one time visit for a vacation if I lived here this would definitely be somewhere I took him every time.”
“I will be continuing to take my pup to Priscilla as long as she will have her. Honestly my senior citizen pup has never been alone and lost her companion recently, Priscilla has comforted her and put me at ease. I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for her.”

“Rachel was absolutely amazing! This was first time using Rover and what a great experience! She took great care of our baby boy. We could not have asked for more. She made our trip work and I cannot thank her enough!”
“We felt very lucky to have connected with Janelle! We were able to leave Benny with her for day care so we could enjoy the beach and dinner out, knowing he was in good hands. Janelle was very responsive to communications and patiently answered all our questions. We were able to have a meet and greet to confirm that Benny would be comfortable with Janelle - and vice versa - before he stayed for day care. Would definitely do this again. Thanks, Janelle!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Knotts Island commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 344 sitters in Knotts Island, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
