“Forever thankful to Mr. Clayton for watching my precious little puppy. He was very understanding when I had to change the dates of my puppies stay and even allowed me to pick him up later than agreed. Overall superb dog sitter!!!”
“Jazmine was beyond amazing in caring for our dog and cat! She was very flexible with our ever changing dates. She provided a loving environment for our dog and home check ins for our cat. She sent lots of picture and video updates. We will definitely be booking with her in the future and highly recommend her for anyone looking for pet care!!”
“Heidi is a wonderful pet sitter. Our old dog was treated very well during our week of traveling. She sent us photos and updates on a daily basis which was very comforting for us. Thank you Heidi, look forward to bringing our dog the next time.”
“Karen did an amazing job keeping up with us through photos about his walks, down time and eating while at Karen's home. Asher was fed our food and Karen stayed with our schedule for him. Karen likes dogs and asked me questions prior to sitting Asher. I would hire Kkaren again, she did a superb job with him and Asher looked happy at pick up..”
“Ann took wonderful care of my Bernedoodle at her home, and I couldn't be more grateful! She gave me total peace of mind throughout the trip by sending daily pictures and videos. She truly cared for my dog who instantly fell in love with her, and had a blast playing ball all day. Ann was also incredibly accommodating and flexible when I needed to pick my dog up for a day and bring her back. Highly recommended!”
“Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!”
About: Hi! I am Christy! I’m married to Jefrey, and we have 3 lively, happy children who love dogs! We currently have no dogs ourselves but we have do have chickens in a coop. I’ve grown up with dogs and provide care for friends pets when they need. We love to provide people with trustworthy, loving care for their pets and know how important that is. I am comfortable with daily medication giving. Although I will be the only one responsible for caring for your pets, we do ask that all dogs be friendly with children and we make sure our children respect dog boundaries. We have a large 6ft privacy fence in the back yard with the front and sides of the fence being privacy fence, and the back part of the fence is chain link. The dogs will be free to go in and out throughout the day as they please. I recently had to leave my job to stay home and care for my children, so I have plenty of time to be home and take care of your pets while you are away! In the morning, we would get up and let the dogs outside to go potty and get some fresh morning air. They will have plenty of opportunity for cuddles or playtime throughout the day, and will be able to go in and out as they please. I have three children who love animals. All dogs must be child friendly, and I will make sure that my children are respectful of the dog's boundaries. We have a fenced in back yard and plenty of space for them to run and play.
“Excellent services with Sarah and her Husband. They gave our dog (a 70lbs) German Shepherd mix beyond the best care in their home. Loved their flexible schedule and availability. Sarah, sent me multiple photos and constant updates on our girl. I would highly recommend their services for boarding and dog walking. Thank you again Sarah.”
“Jessica sent video and photo updates regularly of my puppy acclimating and having fun, so I was able to enjoy my vacation without worry. Her own dog was very tolerant of my pup’s antics while letting him lounge around with him. An overall great experience!”
About: I’ve had experience handling, training and caring for dogs of any breed, fifteen plus years. Just recently moved from Washington where I volunteered and donated to Summit Assistance Dogs. My experience with puppies has come from the association above. Though I know how to administer meds and exercise through personal experience with my own kids (dogs). I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, attending part-time college. My schedule is open Monday-Friday, due to weekends for my children’s games. Have plenty of time for fur babies. I have a fenced backyard, behind us I have a walking path to the forest. Plenty of space to get zoomies and games of fetch or catch. My family (older children) offers plenty of playtime and cuddles!
“Our 9 yr old Pup stayed with Jessica for three weeks. He has been boarded before but never this long. Jessica was patient with his needs as he struggled with separation anxiety and feeling homesick. She met his needs daily to make him as comfortable as possible and communicated her concerns and how he was doing on a frequent basis. He always appeared happy and well cared for in his pictures and videos. Jessica is laid back and enjoys the pups she has as well as her boarders. We felt our pup was well cared for and she was very patient with his need to adjust. We will happily use her again.”
“Sarah is amazing!!! I contacted her a few days before Christmas for an immediate spot and she responded immediately. I took Coby over and she spent time with us to make sure Coby would be a good fit with her pets. She sent pictures and updates regularly. Coby was very well cared for and would have been happy to stay a few more days! Thank you Sarah!!!”
About: Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving care, handle special needs, and keep pets comfortable while keeping owners updated and reassured. My contract job just ended so I have a lot of time available to care for your pups and kitties. I love getting out and walking. When I visit a clients home, I care for their pets like my own making sure they have a good walk if they're a dog freshwater and food and snuggles. With kitties I will happily utilize the enrichment toys you have.
“Leaving our sweet boy behind has never been as comforting and low stress as it was with having Jason watch him for us. Knowing Colt was having a great time and in a loving home while we were out of town means the world to us! We came back to a safe and happy boy. We are so grateful!!”
About: I love caring for dogs and cats and creating fun enrichment treats for them. I have gained experience with different animal behaviors. Since I previously worked at Petsmart, I am very knowledgeable in pet products such as foods, toys, etc. If I get the chance to take care of your fur baby or babies, I will treat them as if they are my own :) I am available all days of the week at any time due to working at home and also being a college student. I have 2 dogs of my own and we do many fun things together on a daily basis such as walking on natural trails, going to the beach, food enrichment ideas, and more. I also have 2 cats and currently 2 foster kitties. I am open to taking care of your fur babies 7 days a week (even on holidays). I also have base access. I am all about anything for pets! I will make sure everything stays clean including all surfaces, bowls, crates, etc. If you have a set schedule for your pet(s), I will ensure to follow it. I will always send you pictures and/or videos of your fur baby every day and update you with what we do throughout the day.
“Absolutely FANTASTIC!! Nick treated our dog as if he were his own. He sent through daily updates with photos and it was clear our boy couldn’t have been happier. He took great care with his special diet and supplements and got him out on multiple walks. His own dog is an absolute sweetheart and we can’t recommend them both enough. If you need a sitter, Nick should be your first option! Looking forward to booking with him again.”
“Cynthia is amazing!!!! She took such good care of our boys and we will surely be back. Our dogs loved her so much and she was amazing at keeping in touch and with photos. She made sure to get them out every day and they were indeed two happy boys while we were away. Anyone looking for an amazing sitter......look no further.”

Olivia was very easy to communicate with and attentive to all of my dogs needs. She made Silas stay away from home very fun and relaxing, making sure all of his usual dietary, exercise and playtime activities were met as well as providing him extra attention and affection. She also regularly provided updates and pictures showing he was having a fun time in her home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for dog sitting outside the home.
Marcia was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Biscuit! We were away on a family vacation in Topsail, and unfortunately our rental didn’t allow puppies, so leaving my baby boy behind was definitely hard for me. Marcia made me feel so much better the entire time. She was extremely communicative, sent me lots of pictures and updates, and even FaceTimed me when her internet was down so I could still see Biscuit! 🥹❤️ It meant so much to know he was being loved and well taken care of while we were away. I felt completely comfortable having him with her and would absolutely recommend Marcia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby. Thank you so much, Marcia! 🐾❤️
Talia was amazing with my two dogs (a Labrador Retriever and a Shih Tzu)! From the very beginning, she was great at communicating and even arranged a meet-and-greet so everyone felt comfortable. This was actually my dogs first time being watched at someone else’s house, anytime we are out of town they are cared for at home our home with some friends watching them so I was a little nervous at first using Rover for the first time but Talia made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and messages, which was really great!My dogs had an absolute amazing time playing with her dog, and it was clear they felt right at home. You can really tell she loves and cares for the pets she watches. My Shih Tzu got sick during the stay and she personally made some rice and chicken to make sure she gets better which she didn’t have to do but that shows you what type of person Talia is!!

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.
95% of sitters in Pumpkin Center 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 Pumpkin Center 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 Pumpkin Center.
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 Pumpkin Center. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 Pumpkin Center 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.
