“Sabrina and her family are awesome and were amazing caregivers to my Bella! They treated her like part of their family. She had a great time and experience with her new furbuddy Blaze too! Thanks for taking such good care of her.”
“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.”
“Stephanie and Matthew were super easy to communicate with. Our Rose had a wonderful doggie vacation and had other pups to play with to help get some of her energy out. They have a great backyard for Rose to run and play.”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Morgan is amazing!! She did not bat an eyelash when I requested her pet sitting services on short notice for my GSD. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors and I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Duncan said he cannot wait to go see her again! 😂. Thank you so much, Morgan!!! 🥰”
“Amazing sitters! Luna loved her stay with Samatha and Tim. They sent photos and videos throughout the time Luna was there. They provided plenty of love, attention and exercise. I would highly recommend Samantha and Tim for your upcoming dog sitting needs. You will not be disappointed!!”
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’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kalyn! She was incredibly friendly, positive, and welcoming from the start. She asked thoughtful questions to get to know our dog and make sure she felt comfortable during her stay. We received plenty of updates, which gave us such peace of mind! She was also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Her joyful personality and genuine love for dogs really shine through. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Kalyn and will definitely book with her again!”
“My dog always has a good time at Jared and Sharon's house. She likes to play with their dogs and follows them into their house instead of trying to run back to my car like she does with the groomer, so she must like it there. They have a nice fenced yard and Jared works from home so someone is usually around. They treat her like one of the family, and they are always my first choice when I need someone to watch my dog.”
“Amanda and her family are very compassionate and attentive people. I don't think my dog wanted to come home lol they took excellent care of her. I don't leave her often and I get nervous leaving her in the first place but I would 100% leave her with them again. I trusted she was well cared for and she was, she sent pictures and asked if they could watch her again which is very kind and generous. Even at drop off her fiance sat on the ground with Pancake and let her get used to him. I can't thank y'all enough for caring for her while I was away, thank you again”
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.
“Darcy is the BEST!!! She took fantastic care of my boys. Gave me daily updates and sent me the cutest pictures! I am so grateful she loved them like her own for the week 🥰 She even sent their bowls back sparkling clean ✨ 10/10 recommend!! I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Meghan was excellent at sending us daily updates and pictures of our girl while we were gone for 9 days! She was very flexible for drop off and pick up times. Toccoa had so much fun playing with her and her boys. She had plenty of outside time in her back yard! It’s assuring to know your pup is being well taken care of and having fun while you’re away from home. We are planning on rebooking with this sweet family.”
“Loren is top notch! Our dogs loved being able to run around her property and play with her dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay and was always very quick to respond. Loren is super easy to work with and was very flexible when I had some last minute changes in pick up time. And she gave the boys baths and nail trims- I mean what more could you ask for. 10/10!”

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.

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.
95% 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, 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 Pilot Mountain.
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.

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 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.
