“Candice is a wonderful, caring person who knows dogs well. Our Katie would have just as well have been happy to continue her stay in Candice's loving home as to come home with us. We are very glad we were able to find Candice through Rover.com.”
“Amber was fantastic! She took such great care of Sherman while we were away, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was dependable, caring, and easy to communicate with. Sherman was happy and well cared for when we got home. We would absolutely recommend Amber and wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Sherman again. Thank you!”
“Rhianna was so amazing 5 stars are not enough. My fur baby Deuce is very particular and has allergies and a strict diet. Rhianna not only followed Deuce’s routine she provided the love and care he would receive at home. We were visiting. Danville and needed a sitter at the last minute to enjoy a family reunion and Rhianna was a God sent. She was very thorough, professional, warm, and welcoming. She sent multiple pictures and videos the entire time and I never had to reach out to her to ask about Deuce. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody in the Danville area and when we return we will use her services again.”
“Mary was fantastic. She kept me updated with how my dog, Gemma, was adjusting and sent great photos that made it obvious her family was enjoying Gemma and Gemma was loving her time there as well.”
“This was my first time boarding my Aussie, and I was honestly a bit nervous — but she did an amazing job reassuring me from the start. She made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, which I really appreciated. I was especially worried because she has three dogs, and my Aussie can get a little overwhelmed. But she handled introductions perfectly — slow, one at a time — and my dog adjusted way better than I expected. Fast forward to pickup time… I think my dog may have forgotten who I am Not only was she completely comfortable, but she had already decided that the husband was her human now (and she normally reserves that level of love for my own husband). At one point, he was petting one of his own dogs, and mine started whining like, “Excuse me?? That’s MY attention.” The jealousy was very real. So overall: ✅ Great communication and reassurance ✅ Thoughtful, safe dog introductions ✅ Happy, well-adjusted pup ❗ Slight risk your dog will try to move in permanently Would absolutely book again — just emotionally preparing myself for the betrayal next time”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“We are so lucky to have found Lisa. We are THOSE dog parents. Maggie and Jasper are great hosts. Tabitha loves sharing her toys. Thank you Lisa. We will have a trip in a few months when Tabitha would love to visit.”
“We had a positive experience! Kristen took very good care of our baby and was very good with responding to any questions. She’s pleasant and appears attentive to a pet’s needs. Thank you!! We would utilize her again for our pet sitting needs!”
“Thank you again Katie for taking such great care of Georgia! Katie is wonderful with our senior dog, she sends photos and updates daily and takes such great care of our pup every time.”
“Adoni has watched our pup many times for one and two week periods. We have complete confidence in her . Our little Yorkie has come to love and enjoy spending time with Adoni. We are always getting notes and pics sent to us while we are away and have come to consider her a good friend”
“Rebecca took amazing care of Boomer!! Great communication and she sent pictures and videos throughout of walks and play time. She has a large fenced in backyard that is perfect. She went the extra mile of helping him eat when he was initially a little nervous. We will definitely book with Rebecca again and really appreciate the great care!!”
“Stephanie was a great sitter for SamE! She is quick with her communication, accommodating with her schedule, made sure our dogs were comfortable together, and kept me updated during SamE’s stay. I appreciate the care she provided and have already rebooked her.”
“Sadie was so well taken care of by Crystal and her family. The communication was easy and prompt. They treated Sadie as one of their own. We would certainly use Crystal again. This was a great experience!”
“Stephanie was the perfect sitter for my quirky little dog! Fiji was happy and safe, hanging out inside the house with Stephanie and a few dog buddies, with access to a fenced yard as needed. The weather was extremely hot, so this arrangement was just what we needed. Fiji has some PTSD and Stephanie was great with her. She sent pics often. We'll definitely be booking again!”
“Woody and Shamira were the best and it seemed like our dog had a great time! They sent us updates and pictures, and we’re super accommodating when our flight was delayed coming home. We would definitely book with them again to watch our dog!”
About: I have loved, owned and cared for pets all my life (dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice, birds, fish, chickens). I have also volunteered for many pet-related organizations (SPCA, Wake County Animal Shelter, Second Chance Pet Adoption and the Guilford County Animal Shelter [GCAS]). I currently foster dogs for GCAS; all are strays or surrenders with unknown backgrounds and varying temperaments, some of whom I house train and teach to walk on a leash, and all of whom I shower with patience, love and affection. I am here to do the same for your pet: provide the love, personalized care and comfort that he and/or she deserves. I work from home (I am a freelancer with lots of free time), so I can easily adapt to pet needs, whether it be walks, enjoying/playing in the fenced-in backyard, and any schedules. Plus, my partner is retired and is at home much of the time, and he loves and dotes on pets just as much as I do. I have a fenced-in yard and pets can go out anytime they wish during the day/evening before bedtime. Plus, in the house, there are plenty of windows so dogs can see the world around them. Lastly, we live in a one-story home, so it's easy for pets of all ages to get around.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Shannon Forest is CA$40

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.
95% of sitters in Shannon Forest 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 Shannon Forest 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 Shannon Forest.
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 Shannon Forest. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Shannon Forest 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.
