About: I’ve grown up owning dogs of all breeds, from Yorkies to Old English Bulldogs, and have experience caring for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs. I’m a responsible, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter who understands that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every pet, taking the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I’ll treat your furry family member like my own, providing personalized care, plenty of affection, and peace of mind while you’re away. As a recent college graduate working part-time from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daytime care, and overnight stays with advance planning. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to honoring agreed-upon schedules, so you can feel confident knowing your pet will receive consistent attention, loving care, and reliable companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to communicate openly about availability to ensure I can meet your pet’s needs and provide you with peace of mind :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I currently don’t have any dogs of my own at home, so your pup can enjoy a pet-friendly environment without other dogs present. Although I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I do have outdoor space and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and walking paths. I also live across from the beach, offering a beautiful setting for walks when appropriate and safe for your dog. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, prioritize leash safety and supervision outdoors, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have always had dogs, usually multiple amongst a wide variety of other pets. I am a big animal lover of all types! When I was younger I lived on a farm in Southern California where we had many dogs, cows, goats, horses and cats whom I helped care for. I live alone and would love a pet but hope to be more stable in my career before making that commitment so, for now, pup-sitting is as good as it gets!! I currently work as an artist from home so I am available all day everyday with a flexible schedule! I love pet sitting and having the company while I WFH. I happily take breaks to hangout in the backyard with them or get our steps in on a walk! I have a house with a big yard that’s fully enclosed so no need to worry that your pet could get out. I will happily take them on walks in my lovely neighborhood but they can also play in the yard all day or relax in the house.

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 Sandy Ridge 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 Sandy Ridge 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 Sandy Ridge.
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 Sandy Ridge 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.
