“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!”

“Holly is great with my dog! She’s been walking her and my dog just had her first overnight stay with Holly. I trust her and she cares for my dog as she would her own. I Highly recommended her!”

“All I can say is that I didn’t know Georgie could possibly be more spoiled than he already was but he is and that is a good thing! Made the entire trip away perfect knowing he was being so loved. Anyone who adores their dog and considers them their baby and not just a pet, do not hesitate to trust Toni to care for them.”

“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”

“Brittany is EXACTLY what my senior dog needed. She met all his needs plus some and understood all his quirks. Even gave him a bath with a bonus bandana before pickup ?. She was able to feed him medicine and carry him up/down stairs. Very accomadable to providing him comfort with his multiple beds, blankets and pillows. Her family and children reacted well and she sent plenty of updates, pictures and videos to make me feel at ease. I have full confidence that any pet will feel welcome in her cozy log cabin home sitting on a couple acres with plenty of grass area for them to run and play. Brittany was able to provide constant supervision for my dementia boy who panics when alone. He had no anxiety while with her and didn't even care that I left, he felt right at home with Brittany. So glad she was available and local to home, it was a yuge relief!!”
“We have used Connie and Ron to keep our Sadie for years. They are wonderful~very caring and provide a great atmosphere and environment for their doggie guests. I appreciate the fact that they sent pictures and videos and always respond quickly to any question or enquiry.”

“I have used Dara multiple times and she has always been great. My girls love when she drops in for a visit or an overnight stay at her house while I'm away. My dogs are in good hands.”

“Our pupper had a great stay!! Gouda was a great fur buddy to play with. Marnie and Dave sent frequent updates and pictures which was much appreciated. Their backyard is very large and fenced in. Truly a haven for dogs. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks guys!”

“They were great very professional and reasonable. They also send pictures and videos and respond back very fast. Had a great experience with them my dog didn’t want to come back home.”


“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!”

“What a relief to find Tammy through Rover! Our sweet min Schnauzer had a great stay with Ms. Tammy for an extended time we had to be away. She was thorough, and sent us an update & pics each day we were away. I knew our pup was doing great. She got to go on walks, play and she ate well the entire stay. In other words, Tammy spoiled her like we do! We will not hesitate to call on Tammy again for her excellent care for our fur baby. They bonded well and it was a great week where I did not have to worry one bit. Thanks, Tammy!!”

“It was my first time using the Rover App . Kashawna was very quick and responsive, answered all my questions that I had. Drop off and pick up went smoothly and she took great care of my sweet allie. I enjoyed receiving the several pictures she sent !”

About: 25 years of heartfelt experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I bring genuine love and expert knowledge to every furry friend. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior cat, or anything in between, my deep understanding ensures compassionate, personalized care that nurtures their health and happiness. Every pet is treated like family, making their well-being and joy my top priority. Extremely flexible schedule, I am willing to travel, work remotely, willing to respond quickly, living on 1.5 acres, here to help with your pet needs. I have plenty of space to walk the dogs, a dog runner, crate, and one female cat named Bubbles. Bubbles will most likely stay in the basement where she thrives in her own space.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had more than the average number of pets, which gave me extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the last six years, my family has owned and operated Cedar Brook German Shepherds, where I have helped care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs while helping them find loving homes. Through my experience with dogs, I have learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every dog has unique needs and routines. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise routines, basic grooming, administering medications as instructed, and providing extra care and attention to senior dogs and puppies. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine care I have for every pet I work with. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give every pet the same level of care, attention, and affection that I would want for my own. Pet care fits very well into my schedule. I am currently finishing my master’s degree online and work as a personal trainer/basketball coach, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Because I complete my coursework from home and have control over much of my work schedule, I am able to dedicate time to pet visits, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit alongside my current responsibilities. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or consistent care while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they receive reliable attention, care, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I have a fenced-in backyard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and get exercise. I also have spacious crates available if a pet is crate-trained or if an owner prefers their pet to have a designated space. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am also happy to care for pets in their own home. I understand that many pets are most comfortable in a familiar environment, so I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and any special needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same level of attention, patience, and care that I give my own pets.
“Heather has kept my beagle, King, twice now and did an awesome job. She sent lots of pictures and updates so I knew was King having a good time. She gave King really good baths, I don’t know that he is ever been that clean. Heather will be our go to sitter in the future, highly recommend booking with her.”

“Kharen and her husband are a lovely couple who are very warm and friendly. The have a cute backyard which is so convenient. We have always felt that our dog is left in good hands!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rutherfordton 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 Rutherfordton.
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 Rutherfordton 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.
