“We had an excellent experience with Cinthia and Fernando. They took great care of our puppy, Zizou, and kept us updated with tons of pictures and videos. It made a huge difference seeing how happy and comfortable he was. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”
“Ruth boarded my dog Jack for five days , she sent pictures every day which helped a lot. Jack fell in love as soon as he met her because he loves all the scratches and rubs. Enzo, Ruth's dog is a big loveable baby and Jack and Enzo got a long well. When I picked Jack up he was his happy healthy self.. No complaints from me and I just re-booked.”

“This was my first time meeting Gina. She was Awesome and made me comfortable leaving Robin with her. She sent pictures and I knew she was taking great care of my Yorkie. Definitely someone I will reach out to again. Thank you Gina for being a great sitter.”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful. She showed so much care and interest in my two Pomeranians. She was highly interested in making sure she knew and took care of all my doggie needs. I would highly recommend her, especially if you have older dogs requiring special attention.”
“This was Daisy’s first time being away from home. It was a good experience. We got photos and feed back on how she was doing. Highly recommend. You can tell they are animal people.”
“Rover newby here so everything was last minute but Beth was so accommodating and understanding. Woody took right up with her loving nature and made besties with Dodge and the others. She kept me informed all week and she was very quick in responding if I had a question. Definitely recommend. Thank you so much Beth. Woody will be back.”
“Honestly super impressed and happy with Onelia. She treated our yorkie with so much love and the best care. Our dog needed a medicine administered at the last minute and Onelia was great about it. Attentive, easy to work with, and gave us peace of mind with updates/photos. 🤍”
“Christopher was incredible. I had a very last minute need to board for two days over a weekend and he was able to be extremely flexible for us. Had to drop her off late and then picked her up early due to my crazy work schedule and he was more than willing to accommodate. Will be brining my girl Zoey back to him again for sure.”
“Marley and Cali LOVED staying with Megan and her family. In fact, they did not want to come home! Marley loved swimming in the pool and chasing balls while Cali enjoyed playing with the kids and bonding with the chicken, Howie. Megan took fantastic care of our dogs and we are thrilled to have found such a wonderful sitter.”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
About: I’ve grown up with and had dogs for most of my life, and have taken care of cats for the last ten years. I currently have three cats (Ollie, Nell, and Poppy). I took vet assisting classes when I was younger and also have experience working with larger farm animals. I currently work remote full-time from 7:00AM to 3:00PM, but I have the flexibility to bring my laptop with me if extended animal care is needed. I do also go to school part-time in Charlotte, Monday through Thursday. In my home, I have an unfenced backyard I can use for walking and I also have a large dog crate. Because I have cats, I do require that any dog(s) be friendly with cats. If doing an overnight stay at my house, it would also need to be on the weekend (Friday through Sunday) where I would be home all day. In a client’s home, I always follow whatever guidelines are put in place by the owner so the animal(s) can stay in their usual routine with as little disruption as possible.
“Brianna was amazing. She kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos. Deuce had a great time and came home worn out. Definitely would recommend and rebook!”
“Steve and Brittany did such a great job watching Finn! You can tell Finn loved his time there. Finn really enjoyed being able to play in their huge fenced in yard with Anakin. We will definitely rebook in the future.”
“I’m glad I chose Maribel. I considered a place that had lots going on in the kids and other animals department. The moment me and Like walked in, I knew the quiet and relaxing environment would be just right for him. Her friendly and low key Bassett hound Molly was a great big sis for those five days. She kindly accommodated our request for an extra day. I’ll happily book her again next time Luke needs a home away from home.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kalyn! She was incredibly friendly, positive, and welcoming from the start. She asked thoughtful questions to get to know our dog and make sure she felt comfortable during her stay. We received plenty of updates, which gave us such peace of mind! She was also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Her joyful personality and genuine love for dogs really shine through. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Kalyn and will definitely book with her again!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
95% of sitters in Linwood 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 Linwood 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 Linwood.
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 Linwood. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Linwood 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.
