“Charles was great with my high energy girl. She had a great fenced in yard to wander and a convenient dog door as well. She got along great with his dog Pippa. Charles was also very accommodating and kind enough to pick her up and drop her off while I had my car in the shop. I would definitely use Charles as a sitter again!”

“This was our first visit and the first time my dog has ever been boarded. Kathleen was wonderful—she sent pictures and letting me know that Kenzie was doing fine…which really helped put my mind at ease. She went out of her way to make both me and my Kenzie feel comfortable about being apart. So grateful for the care and thoughtfulness!”

“Natalie, kept my two beloved pups on short notice. She did a great job, and I know she took very good care of my pups. She provided updates on how they were doing, plus sent photos, which certainly set my mind at ease. I certainly recommend her, as I will ask her again to pet sit for them in her home. Thank you Natalie!”

“I recently hired Michelle to care for my dog, and it was an amazing experience! From our first meeting, it was clear that Michelle is a true dog lover. She took the time to understand my dog's needs, which made me feel at ease. Throughout the stay, Michelle provided excellent care, ensuring my dog received plenty of love, exercise, and attention. She sent regular updates and adorable photos, and videos showing that my dog was enjoying his time. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle for anyone needing a caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my dog!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the hands‑on experience I’ve gained caring for my own dog with special adult needs, along with years of looking after friends’ dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand how important individualized care is — whether that means managing routines, providing extra patience, supporting mobility needs, or creating a calm environment for anxious pups. I’m comfortable with senior care, medication routines, and adapting to each dog’s unique preferences. Because I’ve lived it myself, I treat every dog like family, offering attentive, one‑on‑one care that keeps your furry family safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while you’re away. Because I work full time from home, I’m able to maintain a consistent daily and weekly routine that allows me to give your furry family plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule offers the flexibility to handle feeding times, outdoor breaks, play sessions, and individualized care. With my fenced yard and steady at‑home presence, your dog enjoys a safe environment, regular supervision, and a calm, predictable rhythm that keeps them comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention, thanks to my full‑time work‑from‑home schedule and fenced‑in yard for safe outdoor time. My own senior dog sets a gentle, steady rhythm in the home, which helps visiting dogs feel relaxed and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means scheduled feedings, medication support, mobility assistance, or extra patience for anxious pups. With consistent supervision, personalized care, and a secure space to play and unwind, I make sure every dog feels safe, supported, and truly at home.

“We have an senior English bulldog, who doesn’t require a lot of attention but does need a little extra care to get around. Keith is so patient and takes great care of her. We have had Keith take care of her a few times now, and we are very comfortable with leaving her in his charge. He is communicative and sends pictures, so we don’t feel too separated from her :-). Highly recommend for dog sitting!”

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 Northlakes 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 Northlakes.

<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 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 , 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.
