About: Experienced with puppies, seniors, rescues, and large breeds. I provide patient, attentive care while maintaining routines, medications, training, exercise, and plenty of love and time. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day, with time for walks, play, potty breaks, cuddles, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. I have a fenced in yard. We also really love to walk if that’s your dog’s vibe 😎. I have a 2 year old female husky mix who is always looking for a new friend to play with. She loves dogs of all sizes and ages as long as they love her.

“Elizabeth was amazing with Tex! I got daily updates and Tex seemed to really enjoy himself at their home. Communication was very easy from a meet and greet beforehand, to drop off, updated throughout his stay, and pick up. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you need a stress free place for your pet to stay while you’re away!”

“Daniella did such a great job with the dogs! We have never left them this long before and we were worried how they would be when we got back. They came home happy and full of energy, totally their normal selves. It was great getting photo updates every day. I would certainly use Danielle again. Thanks so much Daniella!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Emma is absolutely great super caring for my 7 month old German Shepherd. My pup left happy and exhausted from playing and having fun even left with a new toy! Will definitely be coming back next time I need to board my pup. Thanks so much for giving my pup a great first boarding experience.”

“We left our dog Molly with Kay and Zada after she didn’t get along with another dog on our trip. So the stay was very last minute and we were very anxious about the situation. Kay and Zada were both so sweet and accommodating that we felt a ton of relief leaving Molly with them. Our dog can be temperamental when first meeting a new dog and Zada rolled with her style! Kay was also very obviously comfortable with and knowledgeable about dog behavior and body language. We really appreciated how she worked to make sure we were all comfortable before we left. Kay let Molly play with some of Zada’s toys and offered to give her Zada’s food as well! Zada was very cool with Molly laying on her bed and playing with her toys - she is such a cool dog! When we picked our dog up, she was being very lovey with Zada and gave Kay lots of attention. This made it obvious that Kay took amazing care of our dog and that she and Zada became good buddies! We cannot recommend Kay and Zada enough, they are an amazing duo! Communication was great and Kay was so flexible with our schedule! We will be leaving our dog with them anytime we’re in the area!”

About: I’ve had dogs in the home since I was a small child and host small dogs (under 20 pounds) in my home. I'm new to booking through Rover, but can supply references, if requested. I’m excited to open my door (and heart) to your pup for day visits or overnights. I have one super tough 6 pound Shihtzu-Chihuahua in the house so your pups must be friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with puppies and caring for senior dogs. I work from home so I'm at home all day and night during the week. On weekends, I'm never gone for more than 3- 4 hours at any one time. Most of the time, I'm home with the fur babies. I have a house with ample room to welcome up to 2 dogs (same owner) at a time. I have a fenced back yard area allowing for exercise and free roaming. I never leave pets outdoors unattended. Dog's will normally sleep in my bed with me, but totally fine if they prefer their own bed in my room.

About: Animals simply fill me with happiness. Ever since childhood, I have felt connected to the language of animals and have gotten such a deep and inexplicable joy from hanging out with them. I have worked professionally as an independent pet sitter in various parts of the country for the past seven years and have had some of the most rewarding experiences with the animals I've befriended. I offer overnight stays in my home where I live alone on three acres of pristine property in Weaverville, NC. At my house, your pets well being and happiness is considered my top priority while you are away. A little aside: I am also an herbalist and researcher/writer and a lot of my work is done quietly and remotely, so choosing you leave your pet with me ensures that I will be present for your animal(s) and give them ample attention while you are out of town. I offer genuine presence, nourishment, and heartfelt attention to your beloved creatures while giving them a lovely space with lots of land and beauty, and peace all around. I grew up with many animals that have touched my life tremendously, and I have developed an intuitive understanding of their communication style and overall needs. I offer free meet and greets, am adaptable to requests, and have worked with dogs and cats of many shapes, sizes, and situations. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to ask me any anything or set up a time to connect! I work from home as a Clinical Herbalist, researcher and writer, so I'm available to give my full attention to animals in my care, with excitement and gratitude. With utmost love and integrity. I am an animal lover to the core, and I aim to give animals a deeply rewarding and safe experience.

About: I have 10+ years of experience with cat and dog sitting, and also have experience caring for farm animals (I've worked on several farms). I’m comfortable and experienced working with pets of a variety of ages, from young kittens to older senior pups. I am available for pet sitting gigs in your home most days of the week. I also offer doggy day care and overnight boarding in my home Thursday afternoons through Sundays. I’m a flexible and responsive sitter, please reach out to connect! Our home is located in a private, quiet country setting. We have a fenced in yard for pups to play in. We have a dog ourselves who enjoys time with other pups and we also have an outdoor cat. Happy to take dogs on walks, run around in the fenced area, play fetch. etc. And, if cuddling is their thing, then I'll be curled up right beside them. Snugs = the best.

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 Relief 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 Relief.

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 Relief 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.
