“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!”
“Ellie was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about dogs. A good home and yard for dogs. I feel very comfortable about taking Molly there for our next trip. I hope they are available the next time we need card for our elderly dog.”
“Candice took such great care of my little Biscuit. Was initially hesitant since his previous Rover caregiver left the area but thanks to little Charlie, Biscuit found his new best friend and twin look alike which made his stay all the best. Thanks Candice!!!!!”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of my pomeranian during boarding. She kept up with all of his special care instructions and grooming needs. I can tell she genuinely loves dogs and is very experienced in caring for them. My little guy had the best time staying with Rebecca and her family! Absolutely recommend 🥰”
“Katie took excellent care of Zeke while I was away. She is very attentive to the pets' needs that are in her care. Very accommodating and super friendly. Will definitely consider for future sitting needs.”
“Tulasi took good care of my dogs. I was not worried about my dogs while we were out of town for the most part. The only reason is because one of my dogs have Addison’s disease so he was a bit overstressed but that was because of the long stay, nothing to do with the sitter. My dogs returned home without any problems and seemed happy when they were picked up.”
“Hannah was so awesome and went above and beyond to make our golden doodle happy. We have a tall 60 lb dog and he got to run and play and rest- just what he needed. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Christopher was very sweet and attentive to Turkey. He sent me updates and pictures while I was away. Turkey had a great time and loved playing with other friends!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Excellent experience!! Ashley text photos of our pet and kept us updated since this was our first time using a dog sitter. Our “Bailey” looked happy and content! We anticipate using Ashley again in the future!!”
“Can't say enough good things about Andrea. She is so nice, accommodating, and did a great job taking care of Mella. Throughout Mella's stay, Andrea sent pictures and gave constant updates. She was respectful of Mella's new feeding schedule and potty routine. She also took Mella on several walks throughout the day which I really appreciated! She made the whole boarding process so simple. I will definitely be using Andrea again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rudy had a great overnight stay with Mary. She is a good communicator and sent me pics which I appreciated getting. Mary is a great new resource to me especially since she is only 5 minutes from my home. Thanks again, Mary!”
“Sarah was so great! This was my first time on Rover and a last minute stay. I know my lab can be a little overwhelming with her energy and my little one is a bit bossy, but Sarah did such a great job! If she will have them back, we will absolutely be returning clients!”
“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! ?”
“10 out of 10!! Super accommodating! And super loving to my only child. Lots of pictures and was open to keeping him an extra day due to my fight being canceled. I didn't have to worry about him at all! Cooper will be back! Thank you!!”

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.
