“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
“Candice is a wonderful, caring person who knows dogs well. Our Katie would have just as well have been happy to continue her stay in Candice's loving home as to come home with us. We are very glad we were able to find Candice through Rover.com.”
“Maribel and her sweet dog Molly were awesome! Our girl Emma has a bit of separation anxiety but Maribel was patient and caring for Emma to help her adjust. She always kept us in the loop with pictures and info on how things were going. Many thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“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!!”
“Katie is wonderful! She loves and takes excellent care of Zeke. He's a senior and I don't like to leave him. I don't worry when he's with Katie; she's always my first choice.”
“Our Labradoodle Bella has a great time staying with Tina! We get lots of photos and other feedback while she is there, which is great! Bella gets to interact with Charlie, Tina's dog, and any other dog that may be staying, which is great socialization.”
“We are so lucky to have found Lisa. We are THOSE dog parents. Maggie and Jasper are great hosts. Tabitha loves sharing her toys. Thank you Lisa. We will have a trip in a few months when Tabitha would love to visit.”
“Taylor is amazing! She took such a good care of Canelo while I was at work, her dog Rêve played with him all day. It was wonderful to come home and have him tired out and happy.”
“Once again, Scout was taken in (on short notice!) and cared for. He comes home clean and happy and well-exercised. Erica and Christian's home is easy to get to, easy to park, and very clean and welcoming. Happy to have found our home away from home for Scout.”
“Our pups had a good time with them. They got the care they needed including medication administration and catering to their anxiety. They also offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. They shared lots of photos and regular updates.”
“Jared was absolutely wonderful with our dog Jake! I think Jake was sad to leave! Jared is welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely book with him again…and again, and again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kate loves spending time with Samantha and Tim. They were so accommodating with our (very) last minute request for boarding. She was very relaxed in the car ride home and seemed as happy as could be!”
“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”
“We were very happy with the care and attention provided to Penny during her boarding. The updates and pictures we received put us at ease knowing that she was having fun and getting plenty of exercise! Boarding with Tyra was a great decision for us. Penny didn't appear to have missed us at all, which is wonderful!! We highly recommend Tyra for your pup's next adventure!”
“Ro is the best!!! As soon as I met her I knew she was someone who genuinely loves dogs. She was communicative, flexible in our scheduling, kind, and sent lots updates about our dog with wonderful pictures that made it clear our pup was having the time of her life! I’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely have my dog stay with her again. Thanks Ro!”

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.
94% of sitters in Pine Knolls 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 Pine Knolls 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 Pine Knolls.
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 Pine Knolls. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Pine Knolls 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.
