“This was the first time we left our dog with Stephanie and Matthew and it was for a 5-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were away, we were naturally a bit nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, the environment was incredibly warm, welcoming, clean and spacious, giving our dog plenty of room to feel right at home. It was clear from the daily updates that Ollie was receiving top-notch care and exercise every single day. We loved getting the pictures and comments daily—it truly brightened our trip and showed us just how well cared for and happy our dog was. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating Ollie like family!”
“This was our first time using Rebecca. We felt very comfortable leaving Rusty in her care. She was very prompt in answering our texts and sent updates and pictures of Rusty.”
“It was a great experience. Katie took care of Hope (my shihpoo dog) very well. She understood the requirements of my dog and took care of them perfectly. Being first time to leave Hope alone I had so many doubts and queries. Katie was very patient with answering all of my queries and she ensured a comfortable stay for Hope. Katie is very friendly, reliable and experienced. I will most definitely be using Katie for my next vacations!!”
“Dessie took great care of our dogs. She took them to the dog park and sent us updates daily. She also gave us a nice bag of treats, doggie bags, and a nice letter! I could tell my dogs were super happy with their stay and well taken care of”
“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!!”
“My review is a few days late but not because we were unhappy with Lindsay……quite the opposite!!!! Lindsay is the absolute best!!!!!!! She truly loves what she does and my dog loves her. Lindsay took care of our dog for five days and our dog loved every minute of it! If you want an attentive dog sitter for your pet, book Lindsay!!!!”
“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.”
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!
“Nelcy was an excellent sitter for our lab. She loved on her and cared for her like she was her own. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again!”
“This was Phoebe’s second time with Paige and her family. Phoebe seemed excited to visit again and I received pics daily showing a happy, cozy pup. Will rebook again in the future!”
“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.”
“Bruce came home very tired and very loved. We received pictures and messages from Jared which was very appreciated since this was our first time using Rover. Bruce will definitely be back!”
“Meghan made me feel very comfortable about my first time using Rover! She updated me with pictures several times while I was gone and she was very flexible about drop-off and pickup times. I would trust her anytime to watch my dog!”
“Big thanks to Sarah for caring for our Rudy on such short notice due to a sitter cancellation. She welcomed him and even allowed our spoiled baby to sleep on the bed.”
“Catie did a fabulous job with my 93 lb lab! She agreed on short notice (due to a last minute cancellation) & was extremely accommodating. She sent updates & pics each day giving me complete peace of mind. My lab got along great with her 2 dogs & looked completely at ease in the pics. I will definitely use Catie again & highly recommend her!”
“5 stars just isn’t enough! The service Tyra provides is phenomenal!! I am definitely a helicopter mom and it’s very rare I trust people with my Great Dane especially for long periods of time. However, I completely felt at ease the entire time my Dane was with Tyra. Everyday I would receive several pictures with an update. Overall, the entire experience was remarkable and I’ll definitely be using Tyra in the future! ?”
“Banjo had a wonderful time with Ro. She took such good care of him, was an excellent communicator and sent pics and updates each day. Would absolutely book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<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 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 , 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.
