About: I’m an extra large( Anatolian) and small( mug) dog breed owner with a nice sized backyard. I love to walk and I love dogs. I’ve had experience training not only my dogs, but a few stubborn breeds. So for all my large and extra large dog owners, I’m here to help. I work from home, so if your dog is dog friendly, they can board or spend time in my home if not, I’m available for a dog walking early mornings and evenings. I have a fence yard and two friendly fur babies. I’m a large human being so walking any breed of dog will not be a problem.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for family pets and about 7 years of hands on experience training and caring for my own dogs. I currently have a small Maltese/Yorkie mix and i understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs. I’m naturally fun and high functioning energy, so I’m comfortable keeping up with active dogs, but I’d say patience is one of my biggest strengths. Working in healthcare has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and compassion are, and I bring that same approach when caring for animals. I work PRN(as needed) in healthcare, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My availability can vary week to week, but I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care and make sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with access to a dog park, a large open field directly in front of my complex, and several nearby walking trails. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. I’ll also follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special care preferences you provide so your pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible.
“Pepper had a great time with Stephanie. This was our first time leaving her here and we were lucky to find Stephanie. She was very patient with Pepper's anxiety ridden persona. Pepper is a miniature dachshund, who doesn't like to be left with strangers. She did great with Stephanie and her fur baby. Thanks Stephanie!”
“Paige was perfect and kind. My two dogs warmed up to her pretty much immediately. I got update texts in the morning and night with pictures of my dogs. I will definitely be going to Paige first when looking for a dog sitter whenever it comes up again.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with Kodak! She treated him like one of her very own! She made sure he had his medicine and even took him to our vet for an unexpected appointment! I don’t know that he wasn’t a little disappointed to come home. He had a blast and we will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks again!”
“Emily and Adam were great! My fur baby was very comfortable with them and he made himself at home right away. They kept me updated throughput the stay and sent pics. I highly recommend them and will book them again in the future when needed!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful Goldendoodles and Labs to tiny pups and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of companionship, love, and individualized care throughout the day. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s routine, energy level, and unique needs, helping them feel safe, happy, and right at home. I work from home Monday - Friday. My hours and schedule are flexible. Dogs are welcome in my home office or just to roam around my house. I have a small fenced in yard and a dog park in my neighborhood! There are also walking trails and additional dog parka near my home.
“Morgan truly cares about animals. She was communicative, thorough and honest. She sent pictures and updates the entirety of our vacation. I would recommend her services to anyone.”
“If I could give a 10 outta 5 I would. I literally just rescued Daisy, my 1lb chihuahua, and already had planned a trip home to Ohio. I'm in NC for work, and my closest friend is 3 hours away. I was petrified to leave this new scared baby with a stranger.. We met Amanda and INSTANTLY LOVED HER! I got pics and videos of my sweet tiny tot, and Amanda's dogs were PERFECT FUN AND GENTLE. I will not look for anyone else while I'm here to watch Daisy unless it's am emergency or Amanda is busy..”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a huge love for animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different breeds and sizes, from Chihuahuas to Dobermans and everything in between. I’m a passionate animal lover and advocate, and I’ve also fostered dogs through rescues. Fostering has given me a special place in my heart for fearful, shy, anxious, and misunderstood dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I believe in giving them patience, kindness, and time to feel safe. As a registered nurse, I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions. I’m also comfortable with bathing and basic grooming needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love being around dogs. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. 🐾❤️ I’m a registered nurse and work 12-hour shifts, typically 2 days per week and every other weekend. On my weekends off, I have 5 days off in a row, which is when I’m available for boarding. My availability is therefore every other week, making me a great fit for families looking for care during weekend getaways, short trips, or extended weekends. I provide a safe, loving, home-based environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for while their families are away. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time and play, and I keep the number of boarding dogs limited so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. As a registered nurse, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and responding appropriately if an unexpected situation arises. I also have experience and knowledge in canine CPR and emergency first aid. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort level before their stay. I have a special soft spot for fearful and anxious dogs and believe patience and a calm environment are essential.
“Loren truly loves Mia and took very good care of her. She is reliable and flexible. It was very easy to communicate with her. I also appreciated her daily update photos. Thank you Loren!”
“Nicole and Ryan took the best care of our dog Shug when we needed a sitter at the last minute. Their dogs Milo and Gracelyn were gentle and sweet friends to Shug while he was in their care too. We can't recommend them all enough.”
“Victoria has such a beautiful home. She also is a very warm and kind person. Our dog instantly took to her. We scheduled a sleepover so our dog can get to know her and her dog better before our big trip in a few weeks. It was a great experience. We picked up our dog and she was just so happy. When we left our dog at a kennel before this she did not look well when we picked her up. This was a total different experience, she had a lot of fun and was well taken care of. Victoria was great at sending me updates and a video. I think my dog misses her and her dog lol!!! I'm definitely going to feel better when I leave her for a week knowing she's in good hands. Thank you Victoria”
“Nancy, I wanna say THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH? I never left my Milo with anyone in his 5yrs. Leaving him for the first time was nerve wreaking...but thanks to Nancy she made ot all easy. She kept me posted she replied quickly and sent lots of pictures and videos. I was able to enjoy my vacation thanks to her taking GREAT CARE of my little guy ❤ Highly recommend ?”
“Wow! My two pups were pampered with Blanca this week. They received so much love and attention and I received lots of updates throughout the day. We were in the middle of a move from out of state and Blanca was so accommodating to some changes in our schedule too. Highly recommend!”
“Talia and A were wonderful with my dog, Kenzie. At a late notice, they were able to take her and they were so gentle with her. Kenzie had a great time, my family and I had no worries, and Kenzie adapted quickly to her sitters and their home. I will definitely used Talia and A again.”

We are so thankful for the wonderful care they provided to Pluto! The daily updates were especially appreciated and gave us reassurance throughout our trip. They were responsive , flexible, and very accommodating with Plutos's food requirements and our late pick up. Most importantly,Pluto was well cared for. We would definitely trust them with him again.
I had a very last-minute, not-ideal situation — Billy hadn't met the sitter, it was short notice, and honestly it was a tricky ask. She accommodated everything we could possibly ask for and tried her absolute best in a situation that wasn't perfect. She made the most of it and did everything she possibly could. Billy ended up falling in love with her kids and had a really wonderful time. I was so lucky to have found Jess for our emergency last minute boarding needs. She and her family went out of their way to make Billy feel special and loved and included. He didn't want to leave! If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond and make your baby feel at home, book her. She's the best.
Rachael made our first Rover/dog sitting experience a great one!! She communicated quickly when we were trying to book our stay and asked questions to make sure it would be a good fit, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pictures and updates on how things were going throughout the week. Drop off and pick up was a breeze…she made it super easy and quick and had everything ready to go. We will absolutely use her again in the future.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
