âMyra was amazing!!! She took such great care of our dog Rocky! She was attentive and took him on walks and spent a lot of time with him. She sent us daily updates and photos. She is compassionate and a true lover of dogs. Highly recommend Myra. We will definitely be using her again.â

âCould not recommended Laura enough! She did an amazing job with Ebeneezer and even though we were worried about his anxietyâŚhe felt right at home with her! She constantly provided updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. Plus she responded quickly to any texts we sent! Would definitely use her services again in the future đâ

âWe had never used a pet sitter from Rover before and were concerned about how a week long pet sitting would work out. Kathleen O was excellent. Our Bo was obviously well cared for. Kathleen sent us pictures showing Bo on different days. Thank you Kathleen!â


âDonald does a great job picking Duke up, watching him at his home and bringing Duke back home. He communicates daily with pictures and texts. Duke is always happy and well following his stays. Donald is our go to dog sitter and we highly recommend him.â

âOur boys were well taken care of and loved on at Giniaâs home for a full week! She sent daily pictures and kept us up-to-date with their daily activities. It was such a relief to know they were being treated like family. I highly recommend Ginia !â

âSecond time our Buddy has stayed with Kahlynne and we'll be back again. Kahlynne always keeps us updated with pics and info, and Buddy always looks great and is happy when we pick him up. This time at drop-off, Buddy just followed Kahlynne into her home and didn't even look back. Highly recommendđâ

âSamantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.â

About: Ive taken care of dogs for a little over 6 years but have been around dogs and cats all my life. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their pets and I enjoy taking care of fur babies. I work from home and finish work around 3:30pm. I am free most weekends for walks and care. With enough time in advance I can dog/cat sit in your home. I ensure a welcoming environment for your pet. I do have a 3 year old chocolate labrador who loves to have guests. I stay as true to their normal routine as possible making it an easy transition for when the owner is gone. I make sure I give extra love and attention to the pets as I would want this for my own pet.
âMy pup had a really great time & made new friends. We got all kinds of pics which put any concerns at ease. Very communicative & responsive. Would recommend jiji for your pets stay.â


About: Iâve been around animals my entire life and have cared for four dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I currently have an 8-year-old mutt named Tucker who is incredibly sweet. Tucker previously went through heartworm treatment, so I have experience following medication schedules and giving medication as directed. Iâm comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, basic grooming, and giving pets plenty of attention. Iâve also owned and cared for parrots, iguanas, lizards, hamsters, and many other animals. I genuinely love animals and will treat every pet like one of my own. Iâm currently in college and only have about three hours of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. Iâm available throughout most of the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. My apartment is very pet-friendly and comfortable, with plenty of places for dogs to relax. I even have a couch specifically for dogs, along with a dog bed and other cozy spots throughout the apartment. Iâll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while theyâre with me, and Iâm happy to follow any routines or special instructions you provide.
About: I am 27 year old business analyst looking for a part time job. I love pets and people so I thought this would be a great fit for me. I am a kind, determined young professional that is easy going, but also determined. I recently moved to the city from New York. In New York my parents have a golden retriever that I helped raise and look after. My roommates also had a cat on college that I helped assist. I look forward to this new opportunity and will be as polite and careful with your pets as possible. To me animals are like mini people that require a certain level of responsible. Thank you for the opportunity to look after your pets and work with you. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am also mobile. I do have a job, but it is very flexible. Thank you. I have a fenced yard. My house is very clean and there are no hazardous materials or items around. I am very friendly and will treat your pets with the utmost kindness.
About: Hi, my name is James âPeteâ Peedin. Growing up with Labs, Pekingese, Pugs, and Boykin Spaniels, Iâve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Because my family used to breed puppies, Iâm well versed in handling high-energy young dogs, crate routines, and basic training. I also have direct experience with senior dog care, from accommodating slower paces to supporting mobility needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a gentle senior needing extra TLC, Iâll provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their stage of life. I work remotely so I can be very flexible with my schedule. I can make same day adjustments to best suit pet needs. I just may need a few hours in advance from time to time but I can be readily available most days. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, keeping routines consistent so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walking, and house rules. Beyond basic care, I keep your home secure, clean, and well-maintained while youâre away, sending frequent photo and video updates so you have full peace of mind.
About: Hey friends, I have loved animals since I was a small child, I have a few of my own and love them as if theyâre my children. Your babies are in the right hands, canât wait to meet yall! I currently have a job that is split shift, so the middle part of my day is wide open and lots of room to walk or take care of the fur babies! I have a large yard and 3 very well trained dogs to keep yours company, I can also crate if needed. Lots of time in the day for walks and free weekends for activities.
About: As an animal advocate and veterinary technician, I pour my heart and soul into loving and caring for ALL animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, and a variety of other animals, so I am no stranger to animals of all shapes, breeds and sizes. Aside from caring for my own animals, I have provided overnight care and routine check-ins for my friends dogs/cats, walked dogs professionally for over a year, and cared for people's fur babies within my own home. I have cared for various canines ranging from chihuahua's to pit bull's and felines ranging from Siamese to Main Coon's. If you're looking for an honest, responsible, and compassionate individual who will love your dogs and cats as if they are my own, you came to the right place! I work, volunteer and go to school, but I still find time for pet care. It is important to me to spend quality time with animals and give them the love and care they deserve. I work a variety of day and night shifts, usually 3 days a week, leaving plenty of other days for me to pet sit/board. Some of my work days are from home, allowing me to still pet sit while working. Itâs an unconventional schedule, but I like to think itâs reflective of my time management skills and determination to make time for what I love most; animals. There are two dog parks within the complex I live in. I routinely take the dogs to play/potty and walk a quarter mile loop with the dogs on leash. There is also a nature trail to take a short hike on. Sometimes I go for runs with my own dogs on leash, and would be happy to run with your dog if thatâs something they would enjoy.
About: I have taken care of my household dogs for over 20 years now. I joined the military in 2016 as a dog trainer and instantly fell in love with the profession. When I separated from the military in 2022, I continued to board pets as well as train dogs for private companies as well as for my business. This is my full time job, so it is not about how your pet fits into my schedule because my schedule revolves around your pets! I live in a 3 level home where I have one level dedicated to boarding and training. So itâs plenty of space to run around inside, or outside on my 1.3 acre lot. I will provide continuous updates and transparent communication.
About: I love dogs and cats and grew up with both in my home since I was a baby. I pet sit on the side for friends and family and have loved it. I love to play and cuddle and walk your dogs. I live in the North Wilkesboro area. I have one dog who is 3 yrs old and loves friends. I am an administrator by trade so dedicated, hard-working, and responsible. I am clean and tidy so you don't have to worry about coming home to a dirty house. I don't mind cleaning up after myself or your pet. I work full time 8-4:30. I am home on the weekend. I spend my nights and weekends with my dog so we can easily include yours as well! I have one 3 year old female dog. She is fixed, trained and wonât be a problem. We go on walks and I have a long chain for the dogs to explore the yard with. I live in a safe neighborhood with no worries or issues. I treat the dogs like family. They can be on furniture and I normally do not crate my dog. If yours needs crated I have a spare room so they can feel safe and not upset not being with my dog.

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Sawmills can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Sawmills 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 Sawmills.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Sawmills. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Sawmills sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
