“They have taken care of Sandy for us multiple times. She was much more at ease when we dropped her off this time because she is familiar with them now & we are at peace knowing that they care about her & are taking very good care of her.”

“Sydney willingly agreed to dog-sit our vizsla last-minute, even though she hadn't taken care of our dog before. We described our dog to her and it seemed like a good fit. Our dog was well taken care of, and enjoyed playing with the other dogs, and cuddling with Sydney. Sydney sent several photos over the stay of 5 days.”

“Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of Ozzy! He was so happy and loving when we picked him up. He had a blast playing and made new friends. What a blessing we found Jennifer she is a true fur baby lover and she made Ozzy feel welcomed and loved!”

“Donna has watched our dog multiple times and can’t say enough good things about her! Our dog loves her and she takes great care of him, always sending pics and videos.”

“Lara took wonderful care of our little Teddy! He got plenty of attention and loving from her and her sweet children. I appreciated that she sent pictures and texts to let me know that he was adjusting and doing well!”


“Emily went above and beyond for our dog Ellie. We are new to the area and was worried about leaving her with someone for the first time. Our worries are gone and have a place for Ellie to go when we are away and cannot take her. She is very easy to communicate with and answerd all our questions quickly. Emily and her family made Ellie apart of their family and we appreciate that”

“Danielle was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family and she was so understanding! We felt at ease and comfortable from the minute we arrived for our appointment until the moment we picked him up! I highly recommend Danielle if you need a pet sitter.”
“I could not have been happier with Katherine. She sent me pictures every day of Lola and I know she gave her all the attention my pup needs. Highly recommend her if you are in need of a sitter for you dog.”


“Janet was absolutely wonderful to my elder Chihuahua Pork Chop and my new addition to the family Nacho. She took Wonderful care of them and kept me updated with photos. She has been my pet sitter since 2018.”

“We were so nervous to leave our boy, having only boarded him once in his life—but Skyla has been absolutely wonderful. She’s communicative, insightful, and truly cares for the pups she watches. Our high-energy German Shepherd gets multiple walks, outdoor playtime, and even training sessions with her. You can tell she loves what she does. We’re incredibly grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, attentive care.”

“We were so fortunate that Amanda was available last minute for us. We traveled from Virginia to NC to visit family with our Australian shepherd mix, Josie. We had intended to take Josie on all our outings with us. It was just way too hot to keep her out all day, so we got on Rover (we have used it at home numerous times) and were lucky enough to find Amanda. Josie enjoyed playing with her children and the family pets as well. We know she was much happier there that being out in the heat all day. Amanda responded quickly to our request and took great care of Josie. We would definitely use her again.”

“Atina was amazing! Aspyn, our 15w/o Mini Aussie is a ball of energy and needs lots of attention, so I had several questions and requests before booking. Atina delivered perfectly! I loved that Aspyn received one-on-one attention, playtime, daily walks, and socialization with her senior dogs while still sticking to her normal routine as much as possible. She accommodated everything I needed, and offered more, which I appreciated so much. From the moment I arrived and saw the setup she created for her “clients”, it was obvious she has truly found her calling and goes above and beyond for every fur baby in her care. The regular pictures and updates made being away so much easier. Aspyn will continue to go on vacation with us, but stay 15 minutes away with Atina. I highly recommend Atina for dogs of any age! Everyone needs a little Atina in their life!💜🐶✌🏼”

“This was my first time ever having to leave a baby behind on vacation and I’m too happy Darlene accepted my request. My baby whom was never away from home or us, adjusted well slowly but they gained his trust. She continued to update me about him throughout the day with pictures included! Thank you again!”

“This was Annabelle’s first stay with Maria & she stayed for just 24 hours. She wasn’t stressed at all when we brought her home and know she had a good time with the other dogs and was comfortable with Maria.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while you’re away I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, exercise, and play. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m happy to introduce them carefully and make sure every pet is comfortable. I can follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and I can crate your dog if needed. Safety, supervision, and making your pet feel at home are always my priorities.
“If I could leave more stars I would, I can not recommend Kyle enough! Our pups stayed for a week and had a blast. Kyle kept in contact with updates, brought them to see us (we were local to a fun spot for them to try the beach out), and he took wonderful care of our puppies. If you need a sitter in the area, I would definitely recommend going with Kyle!”

About: Your dog deserves to have fun, feel loved, and be part of the adventure! I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, and I truly believe they’re family. My motto is “They only have one life too, so bring them along!” I love taking pups on walks, adventures, and everyday outings whenever possible, while making sure they get plenty of cuddles, playtime, attention, and love. When you book with me, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re getting someone who will genuinely care about your dog and treat them like they’re my own. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, safe, comfortable, and in loving hands. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog, spoil them a little, keep them active, and give them the attention they deserve, I’d love to meet your pup! Let’s make their next stay an adventure they’ll love! I am currently working from home so I will be available to tend to them all day long. I am also available on the weekends. I have a large fenced in backyard with two friendly dogs, an eight-year-old, female Boston terrier. and a four year-old, female German shorthair pointer. My dogs have full range of the house and are allowed on furniture. I can also crate your dog if you feel more comfortable with that.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to hamsters and rats—and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster kittens and gain hands-on experience with a variety of pets. My mom was a veterinary technician for 30 years, so I grew up learning a lot about animal care, behavior, and what it means to keep pets happy and healthy. At 18, I started my own pet-sitting business back home in Connecticut. When I moved out of state, I left the business behind, but I’ve always wanted to get back into pet sitting—and now feels like the perfect time! I currently have two cats and two ball pythons of my own. My schedule is also very flexible right now, which means I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. My time spent with your pets will involve lots of love and cuddles, walks and playtime, as well as treats as appropriate. I also have experience with administering medications to pets, so if this is something you need assistance with just let me know! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐾 I'm currently in between jobs and looking for something part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your babies, whether that be drop-ins or boarding. If needed, I have a dog crate at home for the safety of your pet while I am not at home. I have a 3 bedroom home in a peaceful community in Conway.

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.
96% of sitters in Nakina 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 Nakina 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 Nakina.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Nakina 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.
