“From the first few minutes of meeting Alison and Richard, we knew they were loving, caring people who would take great care of our boy. Griffin had an absolute BLAST during his stay! I got updates and pictures every day and felt so at ease. He loves Wrigley and Sunny (the perfect play mates and leaders for him), and so do we! We will continue to ask Alison and Richard to watch Griffin for as long as they let us :) I highly recommend anyone use them if they are looking for a fun, caring, home environment for their dog- and stress free for owners- while they are away.”
“Amy is a an amazing caretaker and pet lover! Her home is an awesome environment for my pup and anyone’s! She has several outdoor spaces. My dog loves to be in the sunshine and he can do that and get in the shade if he’s hot or be inside with her while she works at home. He’s been so loved in her care. Amy followed my follow up communication preference so perfectly. I had a very busy weekend so she sent me a couple updates and answered so quickly when I had time to reach out. Amy is the best and she is so affordable. Book her today! I will definitely be back.”
“Rachel and Donald watched our black lab Abby for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. It was the first time we left her for so long. Rachel and Donald treated Abby like family, their two dogs got along great with Abby and we were updated with notes and pictures regularly.”
“We had never used a pet sitter from Rover before and were concerned about how a week long pet sitting would work out. Kathleen O was excellent. Our Bo was obviously well cared for. Kathleen sent us pictures showing Bo on different days. Thank you Kathleen!”
“Amelia and Grant took the best care of our baby for over a week! They sent pictures and videos of him cuddled up with them, playing, and going for walks. I know he had a wonderful time! Our dog can be nervous of new people, but he immediately warmed to them in the meet and greet. They have a beautiful home and neighborhood. They took note of all his special quirks haha. Our pup will definitely love to visit them again!”
“Kim was wonderful with my 14½-year-old Min Pin, Ralph. She was kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. I felt completely confident knowing he was in her care. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Great experience. Sent daily communication and pics. Seems to have a lot of experience working with dogs with unique personalities and needs. Veronica and family will be at the top of our list when we look for boarding in the future!”
“Laurie is totally AWESOME! We were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of our experience. She is top notch and provided excellent care and attention for our pup, who loved her from the moment they met. I can't begin to say how comforting it was to know that she was cared for as well, or even better, than we could imagine. Laurie kept us updated with texts and photos and we just knew that Miley was more than okay the entire visit. Thank You Laurie and Thank You Rover.com for such a pleasant service!”
About: I have 6 years of pet care experience and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. I provide attentive, reliable care through comfortable overnight boarding and enjoyable daily walks. Whether your dog loves playing outdoors, going on adventures, or simply relaxing and receiving attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I offer a flexible schedule for dog boarding and walking, allowing me to dedicate quality time and attention to the dogs in my care. For boarding, I make sure dogs have a comfortable place to relax, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of companionship. For walks, I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged while accommodating their individual energy levels and routines. I'll also provide regular photo updates so you know your furry family member is doing well. My dog Charlie is also part of the household, so visiting dogs may have a furry companion during their stay. I prioritize proper introductions, compatibility, and supervision to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I want every dog to enjoy a relaxed, welcoming home environment with plenty of attention and care.
“Christina was great with Bowie. She provided updates on a regular basis and was always willing to provide extra updates when requested. She is responsive and professional. We would certainly use her again.”
“Caitlin is soooo amazing! She sent updates, videos, and asked questions. She gave my dog additional dog food because I didn’t pack enough. I will definitely reach out in the future because my dog loved her and she loves my dog 😊”
“Very professional and informative during my trip. It was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased and my baby seemed very comfortable on her first overnight stay with sitter”
“Thank you for taking good care of my Kinsey it was a pleasure I felt good having you to take care of her I felt she was safe and that is what was important to me to have her in a loving and caring home while I was entertaining my grandchildren who were a little afraid of her thank you again”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of both of our dogs and treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lincolnton
Susan and her family took such wonderful care of our greyhound Misu for almost two weeks. This was our first time leaving her with someone outside of family, so we were a little nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. We also loved receiving daily pictures and videos. Misu came home happy and healthy. Highly recommend!
Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.

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.
97% of sitters in Lincolnton 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 Lincolnton 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 Lincolnton.
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 Lincolnton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Lincolnton 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.
