“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! Beginning with a prompt response and a meet and greet, Elizabeth made me feel comfortable and at ease with my senior dogs staying with her. She communicated with us every day, and when one of my critters got sick, she was quick to alert me, coordinate a visit with the vet, and keep me to to date at every step. I can’t recommend her enough, and we will always look to Elizabeth in the future we we need a sitter!”

“I’ve had April and Rob watch my Australian cattle dog twice, and they’re extremely reliable, communicative and are obvious animal lovers! The second time I brought Mochi to their home he got SO excited to see his new friend (their dog) Remi again he pretty much forgot I existed and bolted out the car door! Highly recommend.”

“This was the second time my pups have stayed with Robin and they had a blast. She kept us up to date on how they were doing which helped me feel better about them being with someone else. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter. We will gladly use her again when we travel.”

About: Lifelong dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I’ve cared for my own dogs and watched friends’ and family’s pets for so many years. I work part-time and home typically by noon. If your pup is an overnight I do have safe places for your baby to stay while I’m gone. If your baby is super friendly and understands dog doors I have that available. #1 is safety and feeling comfortable and loved. My backyard has a wooden privacy fence. I’m present and interact with them. The backyard is big with lots of running space.

“Tami excels in caring for pups in every way. She is communicative, thoughtful, organized, and truly cares about the well being and happiness of the dogs who stay with her. She is wonderful to work with for the parents as well. She is thorough with following the routine they have in place at home, making sure all meds and schedules are met. The environment is clean and safe and we can always be at ease when we have to leave our dog in her care. Thank you, Tami. You are great at what you do!”

About: Pet care in our home is truly a calling for me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for animals, and I humbly believe God has given me a special gift for working with them. I provide hands-on, attentive care every day, including walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and—most importantly—genuine affection and companionship. I offer a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, not just clients. I am comfortable working with a wide variety of pets and take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention. I take time to understand each pet's personality, comfort level, and needs, whether that means active engagement, gentle training, or quiet companionship. Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.

About: I have a 4 month old puppy named Leo, he is great with dogs especially bigger dogs(even though he is 9 pounds) he still loves his big dogs. I have dog sat many of my neighbors dogs. Some for a month or even longer. I've cared for various breeds and sizes, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and exercise they need. My time with each dog has helped me develop strong skills in handling different personalities and needs, making me a reliable choice for pet care. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just cuddling, I always strive to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for every pup in my care. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to car for the pup. My schedules are pretty flexible and I spend a lot of time at home. I like always being with the dog whether it is walking, cuddling or just hanging out with them. I live closer to the country so I have lots of space to take the pups out.

They will always be safe, they will always be loved both individually and as a group ! I have trained my own my furry babies over the years ! They were all loving and accepting of all creatures and my babies were little ones ! The little ones get branded not so good but I see the best in them all and attend to their individual needs when they come into my home they become a member of my family and receive the love and attention they need !!! I am retired, therefore I am available 24/7 . I have the priveleage of being home to ensure that each sweetie that comes into my home is attended to both with love and any care they will require anywhere from young puppy to our senior babies who will require more attention in regards to medicine massages for their joints and simply love I have a fenced yard to accommodate small dogs I have one myself who is 7lbs.

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 Lake Santeetlah 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 Lake Santeetlah.

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 Lake Santeetlah 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.
