“Myra is very awesome! She made sure we were updated. She was great in ensuring the safety of the dogs, keeping them separated if needed. Obi came back very happy. I’m pretty sure Obi didn’t even miss us lol. We will definitely use her services again!”

“Tonya took excellent care of my diabetic cat for 10 days. She gave her the shots that she needed and sent me pictures and let her have her own space to stay in. Tonya lives on a nice farm with other animals around and she is a total professional. Very glad we met you, Tonya!”

About: 👋🏼Hi! Thanks for taking the time and swinging by! My husband and I know what it means to find someone you can completely trust to care for your pet(s) and to feel at ease knowing that they will be taken care of. We each grew up with dogs and also had different kinds of pets (hamsters, lizards, fish, turtles, cats, dogs, birds) while the kids were growing up. 🐾We offer boarding, daycare and drop-in visits, ensuring your pets get consistent care tailored to their routine. 🏡We live in a house with a secure, fully fenced-in backyard where your dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, explore and do their business. 🐶🐶We are the proud pet (grand)parents of two sweet, 15-year-old sister dogs. Because they are seniors, they cannot hear very well anymore. They are very gentle, and a little shy but friendly. 💖Your pets will find a peaceful, patient, and understanding environment here. Whether your pet is staying at our house or we need to drop by, they will receive attentive care. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! We are both always at home during the daytime. Michael works from home. We usually try and go to the gym early in the mornings. 🌳We have a nice sized well manicured back yard that is fenced in. There is also plenty of room in the house for more dog beds or crates if you need to bring those.
“Kahlynne was a lifesaver this past May! I needed a late request for Ava to board just for a day and Kahlynne was flexible and able to accommodate my request. She sent photos of Ava and kept me updated on as needed. Thanks again!”

I am a registered nurse taking a break from nursing and have flexible availability to watch your pets! I am home most of the time aside from errands! I have a clean home, clutter free and no carpet. I have a yard for your pets! Cages available if needed, LOTS of toys, extra bowls, I allow dogs to sleep on the furniture or in bed if approved by owners! I’ll love your pet like it’s my own!
“Amy is a very nice and approachable person and really knows her stuff when it comes to dogs I must say, having lots of them at home herself. I was very pleased with the care she puts towards axle. I would really recommend her if you’re going on vacation to leave your pups in her care, you won’t regret it promise. Every time I texted her to check on my pup she answer almost immediately and told me everything was fine. 5 stars for her and thanks Amy for your work.”
“Hope and her family were absolutely fantastic! She was extremely accommodating, as it was a late notice booking. It was clear immediately that her experience made her a fantastic sitter. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs, particularly huskies, which was very important for me, as she kept my three year old husky. He has separation anxiety (and let’s be honest, leaving our fur babies is hard on us too!), but Hope went leaps and bounds to make sure he was loved on and felt safe. She sent me lots of updates, pictures, and videos. Atticus left her care having made some fantastic friends with their dogs. Anytime Atticus needs taken care of, Hope will be the first call I make! Do your fur babies and yourself a favor—book with Hope! ??”

“Cosmo had a few of his happiest days with Jessica, Doug and their family. He bonded with their pups and got to play chase and football on their spacious property. He’s already asking to hang out with Sky and George, their two pups, again! Jessica and Doug went out of their way to keep me updated with pictures. I felt at ease the whole time.”
“We are so grateful to have found Claudia!!! She is the best!!! ? She is so sweet and caring and did an amazing job taking care of our girls! ?

We are truly thankful for the love and care she gave them! They had a blast and especially loved spending time with Tango!! ? We can’t wait to bring our fur babies back the next time we go out of town! ❤️”
“Holly was fabulous! She accommodated my Creed on a last minute booking! She sent me numerous pics and videos of him without reminders and I felt he was in such good hands! I will definitely be using her again when we are back in the area!”
“Summer was exactly who I was looking for to watch my pup. Originally she was going to watch him for the day but because my work schedule constantly changes, she was flexible and was able to watch Hurley overnight too. Hurley and her dog had so much fun. When she dropped Hurley off he waited by door wondering when she was coming back. 10/10 would definitely recommend.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
96% of sitters in Northlakes 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 Northlakes 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 Northlakes.
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 Northlakes. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Northlakes 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.
