“Eric and his family were amazing! They took care of my 10 year old Brin. I was a little worried about my dog being around new friends but they insured me that she did fine. Thank you so much! Would recommend!”
“Maria and Matthew were absolutely the best Rovers to trust with our Frenchie. They took such great care of him and truly made him feel right at home. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“I was beyond happy to find a place for my girls that was like home for them. They were safe and well cared for. My dogs are very small & had never been away from me.

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.
“Excellent boarding and care for my three dogs! Very accommodating and flexible. Highly recommended, will be a return customer when we are back in Virginia!”
“We are so pleased to have found this wonderful family to take care of our Tilly. We received sweet updates and pictures of our four legged family member thoughout her stay, she was treated as one of their own fur family members. We want to thank them for taking such good and gracious care of our pupper. This was our first experience using Rover.com and with this family your pupper will be well cared for and loved. Thank you to all of you for your kindness and care towards our girl.”
“Courtney was amazing with both of my boys. She even worked with the one we adopted a couple months ago and gave me tips on what to do with him at home. She also sent updates on a regular basis which I loved and definitely put my mind at ease while I was away. Thank you so much Courtney!”
“I knew immediately upon dropping my dog Ace off that he would be in good hands! I felt at such peace all weekend knowing he was getting lots of love and attention! Gail was great about sending pictures and updates! 5 stars!”
“Sherry watched our sweet chocolate lab for the first time. She sent several pictures daily and was very responsive. She really seems super genuine and you can tell she loves the dogs she takes care of. Thank you and your family for taking great care of Thor!”
“Rachael was absolutely wonderful! It was the first time we were away from our sweet puppy girl for more than a few hours. Rachael made sure we felt comfortable, asking questions to find out what our dog needed to feel safe and comfortable. She sent regular videos to ease our minds, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. I would use Rachael again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their fur baby!”
“Benjamin was fantastic with my 2 elder dogs for the week that he had them. He sent me pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing which made me feel so much better about leaving them while I was on vacation. My dogs have never stayed with anyone other than family, and I'm so pleased with how Benjamin was with them. I've already highly recommended him and Rover to friends and will continue to do so!”
“Nyah is very sweet. She was accommodating to a last minute, same day request with a drop off within 2 hours. Amazing right! What a blessing We had an extremely important event the following day and our original pet plan didn’t work out Nyah opened her home and allowed 2 night boarding for our kitty Being on vacation and unfamiliar with the areas pet care Rover was my only option. This was our first time using Rover, Thankfully the site provides quality sitters like Nyah who have availability to get you out of a pinch It didn’t hurt that Nyah has a cat of her own We were excited that Coda could spend some time with a fellow feline:) She communicated well and sent updates and pics daily. I recommend this home for your pet baby needs and would use Nyah as a sitter again.”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our sweet girl Jewel ! We received lots of great pictures and communication! Jewel definitely was living her best life and had a great doggy vacay while we were also on vacation ! I would recommend her to everyone !”
“Took great Care of our brownie! She was very accommodating despite us contacting her the day before our trip when our dog sitter had to cancel! And provided us with updates during our trip! I highly recommend her!”
“Heidi was easy to communicate with and sent pictures and updates on our pup. Her home is clean and spacious with plenty of room for a dog to be comfortable. We hadn’t left our puppy anywhere since before the start of the COVID pandemic, so she was definitely a little out of sorts while we were gone, but she transitioned just fine when we brought her back home. We already have booked Heidi a second time when we will travel again. Thank you Heidi!”
About: As a pet sitter, my goal is to provide more than basic care. I want your dog to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in your absence while maintaining the routines and expectations they are accustomed to at home. I understand the importance of secure handling, appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and respecting each dog’s individual temperament. I am especially passionate about caring for working and high-drive breeds, including dogs that may require experienced handling, structured routines, or additional enrichment. I also understand that some dogs can be sensitive to changes in environment or routine, and I strive to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. Your pets are part of your family, and I treat their care with the same seriousness, attention, and respect I would expect for my own animals. My years of experience with working dogs allow me to provide knowledgeable, dependable, and individualized care for dogs that need someone who truly understands them. Running my own farm allows me the freedom and flexibility to accommodate almost any routines needed for daily walks or drop ins or house sitting. I’ll provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic household care. With 25 years of experience working with animals, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and routines.

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.
96% of sitters in Shawboro 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 Shawboro 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 Shawboro.
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 Shawboro. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Shawboro 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.
