“Kelly and Jacob were great. They took care of my hyper 3month old Lab puppy for the weekend. My dog seemed to feel safe with them as he was cuddling up with the kids on the couch. Kelly was great about sending pictures of my puppy during his stay and made me not have to worry about if he was okay.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’ll provide patient and dependable care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. This gives me plenty of time for feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. I understand how important routines are for pets and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and special care requests. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs to ensure they remain safe, happy, and stress-free. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Pam is an extraordinary dog sitter! Your dogs will be loved and admired and well taken care of by Pam the entire time. Her home is beautiful and full of toys and all amenities you need for your dog. She also has a lovely fenced in yard that our dogs loved running around in. She sends pictures and updates and is easy to communicate with. I will definitely reach out to her again the next time I’m out of town! Thanks Pam!!!”

“My husband and I went on a week long vacation at the end of June, and we were so pleased to have Michellle C take care of our Lewey. She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met for a Meet and Greet, and Lewey loved her!😊 She kept us updated with videos and pictures, and it made it so easy for me to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. She truly has a loving and caring spirit that she demonstrates for dogs. I will continue to use her services. The area of her home is so inviting for dogs to run around outside, and she also took Lewey for walks. It was nice that he also had a little “buddy” who was being taken care of as well. Thank you, Michelle!😊”

“Paulette and Chad are AMAZING!!! They not only took amazing care of our dog but they ultimately took good care of us. It started when they gave us the option to bring our dog over to meet their dog. They were so patient and kind. The communication while we were gone was amazing and they were very flexible when our flight was delayed. I could tell our girl felt right at home. Best sitters and just good people. Will absolutely ask them to pet sit again.”

About: For the past year I've been pet sitting for friends and clients. I take care of the feeding, walks, and playtime, and I stick to whatever routine your pet is used to. I set my own work hours, so it's pretty easy for me to fit pet care in. I'm usually free weekday evenings and weekends and I'm happy to plan visits around whatever your pet's used to. Since I have two dogs myself, I know all about that stuff. You can be assured that your dog will get his food on time, he will get enough potty stops and play as well. My backyard is fenced / I walk him always on the leash, and I will be checking all the doors and gates each time.

About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience combined with deep instinctual empathy. Having cared for dogs for 17+ years, I am highly attuned to their body language, unique personalities, and emotional needs. I am flexible and can travel to different homes whether is Wake County or Johnston County! Special Skills I Bring to Your Home: Senior & Special Needs Comfort: My extensive experience means I have the deep patience required for aging dogs. I am familiar with maintaining strict medication schedules, managing low-mobility routines, and providing a calm, reassuring presence. Puppy Patience & Routine: I know how crucial consistency is for younger dogs. I will gladly reinforce your house-training rules, basic command structures, and positive behavior techniques. Anxious or Shy Dog Care: Because I understand dog behavior, I know how to give nervous pups their space to adjust, building trust gently at their own pace. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekend routine as a focused part-time commitment. Availability: Friday 5:00 PM – Monday 8:00 AM pickup. Service Options: Dog sitting at your home or overnight boarding at mine. Yard & Safety: Secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor exercise and play. Built-in Buddy: I have a calm, friendly medium-sized mixed pup, so your dog will always have gentle company and never feel alone." Boarding at My Home (Friday 5:00 PM – Monday 8:00 AM) Safe Outdoor Play: Dogs enjoy frequent, supervised access to a secure, fully fenced yard for exercise, bathroom breaks, and fresh air. Built-in Companionship: My calm, friendly, medium-sized mixed dog provides gentle company so guest pups never feel lonely. Routine Continuity: I closely follow the owner’s regular feeding schedule, medication needs, and bedtime habits to keep stress low. Cozy Environment: Dogs have free access to comfortable resting areas inside the house, treated just like family members. Client Updates: Owners receive daily photo and text updates so they know their pet is relaxed and having fun. Daytime Care at the Client's Home (Fridays Starting at 5:00 PM & Weekends) Familiar Surroundings: Pets stay in their own comfortable environment, which is ideal for dogs that get anxious away from home. Tailored Attention: Each visit includes scheduled feedings, fresh water refills, potty breaks, neighborhood walks, and interactive play sessions. Home Care & Security: Beyond pet care, visits help keep the home secure by bringing in mail, rotating lights, and keeping everything tidy. Real-Time Check-Ins: I send quick updates and photos after visits to confirm arrival, activities, and departure.

About: I have always had a passion for animals. As an adolescent I volunteered at the local animal shelter, and as I became old enough I started caring for friends, and family friend’s pets. I provide all the love, care, and attention that your furry friend needs, and wants! All my work and time is dedicated towards pet sitting for the foreseeable future. My availability is WIDE open. I am mostly always by my phone so I am just a call or click away! I have one dog of my own, a 100 pound German Shepherd. I have a large fenced in back yard where he or any other dog can run freely. I have worked with 1 dog, to 7 dogs at a time.. whether that be letting them out directly into a yard or walking them. I am very attentive of their behavior and needs. I have experience with feeding, walking, giving medicine and just simply providing love!

About: Hi, I’m Destiny! I just moved to the Pikeville area and bring 9 years of pet care experience. I spent 3 years dog walking in NYC and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I treat every pet like my own—reliable, loving, and trustworthy care you can count on. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they’re fed, walked, and loved just like at home. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment.

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️‍🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi I’m Kristin, and I’d love to be your next choice for animal care! I’ve owned a dog my entire life and have several years of experience pet sitting in high school and college. I’m available most days, and have my own car. I’m definitely a dog person, but I’ve cared for many species, including turtles, cats, lizards, and birds. I love animals and would treat your animals with all the love that you do! I truly believe that pets more suitably can be called family members, and should be treated as such! I’m very accommodating and will do whatever you need to ensure your pet receives the best care! Whatever you need for peace of mind, I’m happy to provide! I’m a positive person and would provide warm, loving care to your (fur)baby! I’m currently working full-time in the office, so I generally will be able to stop in once every four hours or so during the work week! Although I’m not approved for remote work at this time, I hope that will change in the near future! I’m primarily available at this time for morning and evening care ☺️ I am very active and fit, and can provide your fur baby with any amount of exercise and care that they may need! I live in the Elizabeth area, but I have my own car and can easily make the drive anywhere across Charlotte!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Pikeville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 292 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pikeville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

97% of sitters in Pikeville 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 Pikeville 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 Pikeville.

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 Pikeville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 Pikeville 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.
