“We are so impressed with Amy and John. Since this was our first time using their petsitting services, they offered an initial meet and greet to help ensure a good fit. Our 2.5 year old Rottie mix stayed with them for 3 days/2 nights and it was clear that she was well-cared for. They were so attentive to our requests for her feeding and care. She's young and still has some puppy behaviors and they were patient and able to correct and manage her appropriately. Really grateful to have found Amy and John.”
“Mar and her family took wonderful care of Poppy while we were away for a week! Mar was very responsive when we needed to adjust our dates, and she sent lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. Poppy got lots of walks and playtime with their dog, Togo. We would definitely use them again!”
“Cathy is the absolute best Rover we have ever used! She sent us frequent updates with pictures, went above and beyond to provide the best care, was extremely flexible with drop-off/pick-up & treated Olivia like she was her own! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Ashley is the single best dog sitter of all time. Our pup gets so happy the moment we pull up to Ashely’s house.. Communication is terrific and we feel very safe leaving our girl. The huge back yard is one of Sophie’s favorite places in the world.”
“Sharon was fantastic with Benji I would trust her with him again in the future. Great place for dogs to run, play, and just be dogs! Very cute homestead with lots of animals. I was updated with photos and videos frequently and it was always easy to get in touch with Sharon. Thank you again for everything .”
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! My rabbit Jeff had the time of his life with Amber and seems rather disappointed now to be back home with us. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
“Keon did a great job sitting our Cherry, sending us regular photo and video updates. We’re thrilled that Cherry felt right at home and was so happy and cheerful. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely book with him again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Claire, in the care of an amazing dog sitter africa , and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and took the time to get to know Claire’s personality, habits, and needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Africa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Trenon was very watchful of my puppy. She made sure she had exercise and playtime. Trenons personality is calm and in control, perfect for my timid dog. It’s my first time leaving my puppy and Trenon sent me so many happy pics while I was gone!”
“Molly was fantastic! She took great care of our needy rescue dog, was communicative, and followed our many requests. Molly has a peaceful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!”
“Angela (and her own little dog and young son) provided a wonderful week for my old, anxious little dog. She kept me posted with her photos and comments - Sandy clearly felt at home and very secure. I will definitely be booking with her whenever we need boarding or day care for Sandy!”
“Leo had a great time at Amanda’s. He enjoyed playing with other dogs and running around in her backyard. She does have a huge back yard. When we picked him up, he went back to Amanda and her mom to get more cuddles n hugs, which definitely indicated he had a great time.”
“This was the 1st time we've left Hero with anyone while we went out of town, but when we had our initial meet and greet with Christy, I felt comfortable leaving him. Christy sent us pictures and we laughed because he looked right at home. I definitely will be using Christy again and will be recommending her! Thank you Christy”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saxapahaw
Amy and John (Alex) were absolutely amazing with my pup! They treated him like he was part of their family, even gave him a little nickname. You can truly tell how much they love and care for animals. Bill boy is on the anxious side and he instantly felt comfortable with them and actually excited to stay with them. It was like he got a little vacation too! I can’t recommend them enough!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Saxapahaw 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 Saxapahaw 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 Saxapahaw.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saxapahaw. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Saxapahaw 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.
