“Annie is wonderful! I can tell our dog, Atticus, loves being there because he was excited and ran to her front door when I dropped him off for his second stay! Annie and Grandma Grace were welcoming and very kind. They went the extra mile to make Atticus feel at home and part of their family during his stay. Annie always sent messages and pictures of Atticus to help us know that he was happy and having fun. She even helped Atticus write a cute Mother's Day card and letter :) Annie is the first person I've felt 100% comfortable leaving Atticus with and will definitely have him visit again!”
“Chloe had an amazing experience with Kristian, her family, and her very sweet dogs! She sent pictures and updates daily. Kristian is very experienced, flexible, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Plus, her backyard is huge and gives dogs a wonderful place to play and explore! So happy to have found Kristian and I cannot recommend her enough!! A thousand stars!”
“Carolina did a wonderful job of taking care of Seamus. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the week. It’s great that she has a dog that my dog could play with and run around with. Will definitely book again!”
“Amy & Ross always take such great care of our senior dog! We love getting photos and updates from them. We will continue to contact them for our future dog sitting needs! Highly recommend!”
“Couldn’t be happier. Brittany came in and saved the day! Such an amazing sitter! Extremely communicative, caring, and made me feel so comfortable being away. My pup was so happy. I will 1000% be rebooking”
“London and her family took such great care of my three babies. I will absolutely take them there to get spoiled and loved on again. London gave me lots of updates and pictures so I always felt comfortable that they were cared for and safe.”
“Hailey responded rapidly from prebooking all the way through the last day of boarding. I highly recommend her to watch your dog. Our dog Dasher was very happy when I came to pick him up. I would definitely use her again.”
“We had a fabulous experience with Ilanna! It was the first time we used a pet sitter at their home, and we couldn’t have been happier with their care. She sent pictures almost every day and was quick to respond to any questions or communication. I’m sure our Milo wasn’t as easy as she told us, but her positive feedback gave us such peace of mind on our trip. I couldn’t recommend her more highly…just wonderful.”
“Kathryn is a very conscientious and caring pet sitter. She genuinely loves dogs, loves spending time with them, asks important questions about your dog's dietary needs, likes and dislikes, potential allergies, sleeping needs and habits, and she is very hospitable and accommodating. An excellent and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“My Golden Retriever stayed with Vedad and Karina for 2 days and they were great. Very easy to communicate and they sent pictures and updates. He was happy and not stressed when we pick him up. Great service and like to keep him with them again.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience for both myself and most importantly, my Hatch dog. Very communicative, kind, flexible, and sent wonderful videos and photos of Hatch playing everyday! Highly recommended Alexis for your dog sitting needs- you can tell she is a true dog lover and treats yours as her own. Thank you, Alexis!”
“Ashley was a perfect fit for our dog, Ollie. She was great with him and kept us updated with messages and pictures of how he was doing. We will definitely ask Ashley first if we need somewhere for Ollie tp stay.”
“Can’t say thank you enough. We have been going through a rough couple of weeks with the storm in Asheville. Big help last minute from these 2 and I absolutely know my dog couldn’t have been taken care of by anyone else. Thank you both,”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our three dogs—Axel, Yannis, and Jaxson. She maintained great communication throughout their stay, sending multiple videos each day that gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy they were. Her large backyard was a huge plus, giving the dogs plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with our dogs again.”
“Lizbeth helped me out at the last minute to watch my dog cooper. While we were on vacation she sent me updates on how he was doing she took him for walks and played with him she also followed his feeding schedule and gave him his allgery pills he came home exhausted and happy she was great with him and I would trust her to watch him again she was very sweet and good with him”
“Jennifer went so much above and beyond when caring for my dog. She set up a meet and greet and I was so impressed by the level of care she gave to my dog. She sent so many pictures and updates and was super flexible when my travel plans changed and my flight was cancelled. Highly highly recommend, thank you Jennifer!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
96% of sitters in Polkton 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 Polkton 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 Polkton.
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 Polkton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 Polkton 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.
