“Heather is great! This was the first time I had left my babies with someone different and I was a nervous mama, but Heather did send me photos every day of my babies. If you are looking for a well qualified sitter, book it with Heather.”
“Lilli took amazing care of our two dogs. My husband and I had a complete peace of mind the whole time we were out of town. Lilli was awesome and made sure to send daily updates and photos. Our dogs got along so great with her two dogs and definitely had a blast. We are so grateful for everything Lilli and her husband did for our dogs!”
“Annie was very cooperative in planning for Sadie’s stay with her. We loved receiving the updates and pictures while we were gone. We will keep her in mind in the future as we have the need.”
“Alexander was amazing with our dog, Tidus! We were gone for a little over 2 weeks, and we got updates about our fur baby the whole time including pictures! Honestly wouldn't want anyone else to sit for our boy!”
“We were very thankful Mary was available to watch Odin and Oakley! We had a great meet and greet and we felt our pups would be in great hands! They enjoyed their stay with much outdoor play and we knew they would be well cared for. Thank you!”
“Lucia is a very kind person and a great sitter! She has a large, fenced-in yard, two small dogs that got along great with mine, and gave them plenty of attention and care. Highly recommended!”
“Jennifer was so sweet to our three cats. She responded quickly and sent pictures of our cats with updates. What a nice, loving lady. Our cats were fine when they came home. They were happy and didn't have any attitudes. I would highly recommend her. And we'll use her again when needed. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Rebeka was absolutely amazing with our dog. He was new to us and we had never boarded him before. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. She sent multiple updates and photos to help put me at ease. She listened to our requests and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“Nathan and Courtney are good people who opened their home to our beloved dog, and also to us when we paid them a visit. Excellent almost daily communication with pictures were provided. Penny was taken on daily walks, and also entertained by their gentle kitties, dog and other barnyard pets! She was calm and happy when we picked her up.”
“My dog Star was well taken care of. He was provided with lots of cuddles and hugs while I was away. I think he even got a bath of some sorts. I will use Brooke again to watch Star if I go out of town. Thanks!”
“Melanie is not JUST an incredible boarder and dog lover, but an all around beautiful human. I immediately felt at ease about leaving my big boys with her when we met. She sent amazing photos, updates, and was extremely supportive and flexible when my times had to be adjusted. I am even thinking of boarding them with her once a month just because they loved her sooo much. 100,0000,000% Recommend!”
“I cannot say enough great things about this dog sitting family! My two dogs absolutely adored their two kiddos! They enjoyed playing outside with the family's dog, Yogi. Even Rowen, who usually prefers staying inside, joined in on the fun and had a wonderful time.🤗 I felt at ease the whole time I was out of town because they kept me updated and sent pictures. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”
About: What sets me apart is my professional experience with dogs in a variety of settings. I spent two years as a dog trainer, where I learned how to understand canine behavior, reinforce good habits, and work with dogs of all personalities. I also have two years of experience in veterinary medicine, giving me the knowledge to recognize changes in a pet’s health, administer medications when needed, and respond calmly in unexpected situations. With more than four years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I know every animal is different. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, shy, or senior, I take the time to learn their routine and provide care that fits their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind through dependable care and regular updates. As a stay-at-home mom and full-time remote student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My coursework is completed from home, so I’m able to stick to your pet’s routine, including potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs frequent check-ins, overnight care, or extra companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I do my best to keep their routine as close to home as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I also understand that every pet is different. Whether they enjoy playing, lounging on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I adjust my care to fit their personality and needs. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Amber did a wonderful job taking care of my Skye. She stayed updating me on everything that was going on. If you’re looking for someone who is going to treat and love your babies right Amber is the perfect person.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life, always love meeting and caring for new animals and I take pride in making the animals around me feel loved, safe, and cared for while their owners are away I currently am working roughly 3 hours daily for 3 days a week and would love taking in animals on a day to day basis I live near a road that doesn’t typically have traffic (major side road in the country), but even still I always make sure to take dogs out on leashes to ensure their safety. I do have cats but they can be put away to ensure your animal doesn’t feel threatened or scared. I have a safe space with plenty of quiet for your animal to be crated if they are feeling stressed or just need some alone time

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rockingham on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rockingham 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 Rockingham.
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 Rockingham 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.
