“I couldn’t recommend Erica enough! I had a last minute out of town trip, and she was happy to accommodate. When we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and knew exactly how to care for my pup. She provided regular updates and pictures of all the fun Norman and the other pups were having. He is a high energy dog, and her place was the perfect spot for him to get out and exercise! She truly went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Erica, for taking care of Norman while I was away!”

“Heather was amazing! She watched Barley during our wedding weekend, and she sent us lots of photos and updates so we knew we didn’t have to worry about him during an important weekend.”

“I was very happy with the care and attention Tokyo received. The caregiver was very attentive, kind, and responsible. She kept me updated and patiently answered all of my questions, which gave me great peace of mind. You can tell she truly cares about animals and puts a lot of dedication into what she does. I would definitely trust her with Tokyo again. Thank you so much for everything! 🐾❤️”


About: As a first responder, I’m very comfortable around K9s and understand the importance of patience, consistency, awareness, and responsible handling around animals. I also have two dogs of my own, Millie, a Vizsla, and Aksel, a German Shepherd. I’ve had Millie her entire life, and Aksel came to us as a rescue about a year ago. When we first brought Aksel home, he needed extra patience, structure, and training, and we’ve worked with him consistently to help him become the happy, well-tempered dog he is today. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, working with them, and helping them learn. I work as a first responder, so my schedule is different from a traditional Monday–Friday schedule. I have set days off that allow me to offer pet care, and I primarily schedule boarding on my days off so I can give your pet plenty of attention and supervision. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits when my schedule allows. I keep my availability updated and am happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs fit my schedule. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for exercise and play. I have two dogs of my own, a Vizsla and a German Shepherd, who are part of my household. Before boarding, I’m happy to discuss your dog’s temperament, comfort level, and how they do around other dogs. I can use indoor movable pet gates/kennels to safely separate dogs when needed, whether for feeding, rest, or simply giving them their own space. I always prioritize safety and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs.
“I highly recommend Andrea. Luna had a great time staying with her and her family. Knowing that she is well taken care of and loved when I'm out of town is a great feeling! Thank you so much!”

“Samantha and Tim are a blessing to our family!! We love dropping off Axel to a place he is loved well! Axel loves his time with them and is happy to see them each time. They send us pictures of his adventures while we are away. Their kids love Axel and that's precious to us since our kids love him as well. Definitely recommend them to friends!”

“Amanda was amazing! We needed to book a sitter last minute and over 4th of July weekend at that and she was so accommodating. Not only was she great at communicating and sending updates, you could tell how happy our pup was during his stay from all the pictures! Will 100% rebook if we travel to Salem again, we had a great experience!”

“Paisley was very helpful and took very good care of our dogs. She kept us updated on their status with pictures and texts. She was extremely flexible about the drop off and pick up schedule. I would definitely recommend her.!”

About: My family had two aging beagles I helped care for that eventually passed away. They both required much attention and medication. Any time my family members or friends need someone to watch their dog, they ask me. I have experience working with smaller sized dogs and much bigger dogs. I have also worked at a humane society. I just graduated from grad school so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies and will make sure they are happy and healthy! I will make sure they go to the bathroom regularly, make sure they get plenty of exercise/walks, make sure they are well fed, and make sure they are overall safe and comfortable. It is my job to make sure your fur baby is happy! If using boarding services, my apartment complex is very pet friendly and has a great dog park!
“We are so happy that we had Amy watch Sadie! She sent constant updates and we were never worried about her for one second. It was clear through the pictures and videos that Sadie was very comfortable and felt right at home. She was happy (and tired!) when we picked her up, which says it all. Amy truly cared for her like she was her own. Sadie can be a little quirky and needy, but Amy handled it all so well. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again for sitting and walks!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
“Tyler did awesome with my two doggies when a last minute overnight came up! I will definetly be using him again! He also sent pictures and videos :) my boys are happy and safe and had a great time!”

“I can’t recommend Natalie enough! They took such great care of Shiro and were incredibly accommodating, even with my last-minute request. It’s clear how much Shiro enjoys his time there, he gets so excited when we arrive and even pulls me toward the door as soon as I park the car! It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands. Thank you for always treating him like one of your own!”

“We had to board Pickle for 2 weeks for an extended trip and were really worried about him due to a recent bad experience. But Jared and Sharon reassured us they would treat Pickle as their own and they totally delivered on their promise. Pickle seemed really happy while he was with them and they provided regular updates and photos throughout. Thanks very much for welcoming Pickle and giving him a home away from home, much appreciated!”

“We did 2 nights having our pup stay with Thomas and everything was great!! He gave us updates about twice a day and always with pictures. If we ever need our dog to be watched again we will definetly look to book with Thomas :)”

“Tammera was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, responsive, and always quick to answer. She kept me updated with pictures and made sure my fur baby was happy and well taken care of. She even brushed him, which was such a sweet extra touch! Tammera is a lovely woman and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 🐾❤️…Att, Angel & Pritesh.”

“Our first time boarding our boy and couldn’t have gone better! She updated us daily and come to me with any questions not previously gone over. My pup was extremely happy and well taken care of.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pilot Mountain
Freya had a much more challenging time being away from me this weekend for some reason and struggled to adjust, but Heather and her family did an amazing job accommodating her and loving her. It’s hard to be away, even for a short time, when your pup is missing you. But Heather’s communication and care was incredible throughout.

Heather and Andrew provided excellent care for my dog during a weekend stay. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to my dog’s needs. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My dog got regular walks and came home happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend their services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pilot Mountain is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $57 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 236 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pilot Mountain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Pilot Mountain 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 Pilot Mountain 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 Pilot Mountain.
<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 Pilot Mountain 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.
