“Thank you Lindsy, my baby Millie had a wonderful time with you and your family. She came home happy and tired from playing and napping all day. I appreciate your accommodation and kindness, we will be booking again for sure, probably today!”
“Amy is a very nice and approachable person and really knows her stuff when it comes to dogs I must say, having lots of them at home herself. I was very pleased with the care she puts towards axle. I would really recommend her if you’re going on vacation to leave your pups in her care, you won’t regret it promise. Every time I texted her to check on my pup she answer almost immediately and told me everything was fine. 5 stars for her and thanks Amy for your work.”
“Ashley was great! Chang looked like he was having a great time in his pictures that she sent to me. I’m very appreciative of her being comfortable with Chang being old and having several issues. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Katie took very good care of my goldendoodle for a week. She was very caring and sent me pictures during the week. I’d definitely use Katie again and I highly recommend her for your fur baby.”
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
“They are amazing.. so incredibly kind. Clean tidy home. Kept my update with photos throughout the day. I can tell Deacon misses them and sweet Charlie. I am so glad I found them here on Rover. Deacon will definitely be a repeat!!”
“Laurie is totally AWESOME! We were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of our experience. She is top notch and provided excellent care and attention for our pup, who loved her from the moment they met. I can't begin to say how comforting it was to know that she was cared for as well, or even better, than we could imagine. Laurie kept us updated with texts and photos and we just knew that Miley was more than okay the entire visit. Thank You Laurie and Thank You Rover.com for such a pleasant service!”
“Kahlynne was great! She was very professional replied quick easy to deal with and made me feel very confident and comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She sent text updates and pics. Could not ask for a better person to sit my dogs. I’m so glad Rover exist and was able to get us in touch with Kahlynne. We look forward to using her services again! Thank you Kahlynne”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. I also spent 4 years working in animal control, where I gained hands-on experience with animal behavior, medical care, and administering medications. I’m a huge animal lover and have quite a few of my own, including two dogs, four cats, and chickens! I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. I offer doggy daycare, overnight stays, and drop-in visits for pets and farm animals. My home sits on 2 acres in a quiet country neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in good hands! I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and care for the animals I watch! I do residential cleaning during the weekdays, typically between 9 AM and 2 PM, but I work around my pet-sitting commitments as much as possible. I’m available for pet sitting seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. I offer daycare, overnight stays, and drop-in visits. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care they may need. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I always want them to feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away!O Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I live in a quiet country neighborhood on 2 acres, giving dogs plenty of space to enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. My property is not fenced, so dogs are never allowed to roam freely or be outside unsupervised. I take extra precautions to make sure every pet stays safe and secure. With over 10 years of animal care experience and 4 years working in animal control, I’m comfortable handling different personalities, temperaments, and special care needs. I’m also experienced in administering medications and recognizing when an animal may need extra attention. I have two dogs, four cats, and chickens of my own, so I understand the importance of making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I take introductions seriously and always consider each animal’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like part of my family and make sure their owners can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I also believe communication is important and am happy to provide updates and pictures while you’re away!
“Mason and Christian were very accommodating, even when we needed to come back one day late. Hermione seemed to thrive in their care. We will use them again!”
“David took great care of our puppy. He was really responsive and good at communicating, both in the days leading up to Nico's stay and while he was with him. Nico got along well with David's daughter's dog, Percy, and they had a good time playing. I will definitely use David as a sitter next time we're going to be out of town!”
“Tammy could not have done a better job! I had never left my cat to go on a trip before, but Tammy's experience with cats led me to leave Charlie with her. Although he took a few days to warm up, Tammy completely understood and did not give up on him. Also, she sent me pictures and updated me almost every day that I was gone so I could check up on Charlie; this was especially appreciated since I was so nervous to leave him with a sitter. I would definitely recommend Tammy!!”
“Misty was super helpful while we were in Roanoke overnight over the weekend and let us board our dog at her house for a night. She was a great communicator and our dog was a happy girl when we picked her up the next morning. We appreciate Misty helping us out!”

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 Polkville 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 Polkville 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 Polkville.
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 Polkville 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.
