“I couldn't be happier with the care my two older dogs received! Amanda was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves animals. My dogs both require medications and she administered them with no issues. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Finn and Skye came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know I have someone I can trust with my dog when I travel. Her children also were helpful and played with my dogs while in her care. They sent the dogs home with the cutest hand-drawn pictures. Highly recommend!”

“Denise and Oscar were amazing with Chip! They were understanding of my anxiety with using rover and all of chips needs. They sent me photos and updates the whole time he was there.

Will always be my go to people now if I need to for Chip!”

“I had never boarded my dog Phoebe at someone’s home so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Melissa was awesome, she was able to accommodate a four night stay with less than 24 hours notice. She’s extremely professional, before accepting the booking she requested vaccination records and actually read them as she required further clarification from the vet so I know that she doesn’t take just any random dog for monetary reasons. Clearly she cares about the health and safety of the dogs in her care as well as her own dogs. When I dropped Phoebe off and saw the fenced in yard and heard her dogs I knew she was about to have a good time, and she did. Highly recommend Melissa and would 1000% trust Phoebe with her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family for years. I’ve looked after all kinds of dogs, from big Rottweilers to tiny senior dogs near the end of life who needed to be carried down the stairs to potty. That range has taught me to be patient, to read each dog’s needs, and to adjust my care to fit their age, energy, and health. I sit small to medium dogs in my own home, and someone is almost always here, so your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. We have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe potty breaks and playtime. My two pugs, Maggie and Bob, live here too and will be happy to keep your dog company if they’re comfortable with other dogs. I’m glad to follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special care needs, and I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home two days a week, and my wife and kids are home every day since our boys are homeschooled. That means there’s almost always someone here with your dog, so they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of company throughout the day. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, so just let me know what works for you. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, especially around other dogs and young boys. I take time to learn what makes your dog comfortable and go at their pace with introductions. I treat every dog like my own, with all the love and attention they deserve, so you can relax while you’re away knowing they’re in good hands.

“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”

About: Hi, I’m the person your pets think about when you’re gone. I offer personalized pet sitting, boarding, and training with a focus on routine, trust, and real connection. Every animal in my care is treated like my own—whether that means sticking closely to their home schedule, giving them space to decompress, or matching their energy with play, structure, and attention. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments, from high-energy and “chaotic” personalities to anxious or more reserved pets. I’m also comfortable working with exotics, including reptiles and other non-traditional pets—something you won’t find everywhere. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your pet’s world feeling stable and familiar ➡️ Build trust through consistency and understanding ➡️ Give you peace of mind while you’re away You won’t get one-size-fits-all care here. I pay attention to the little things—feeding routines, quirks, behaviors, and body language—because that’s what makes the biggest difference. Whether your pet is clingy, independent, vocal, or a little mischievous, they’ll have a safe, structured, and genuinely caring environment with me Pet care is built into my routine to ensure consistency and reliable attention. I work four 10-hour shifts each week at a veterinary hospital and have three days off for more flexible, hands-on care. On workdays, pets receive morning and evening care including feeding, exercise, and one-on-one attention, while I keep their routine as close to home as possible. On my days off, I’m available for more time, enrichment, and individualized care. My veterinary experience also allows me to monitor health, recognize behavior changes, and administer medications if needed—giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, exercise, medication, and any specific routines, while keeping their space clean and low-stress. In my home, pets are treated like part of the household with structured care for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest, adjusted to their individual needs and energy levels. Across both settings, I provide attentive supervision, enrichment, and calm companionship, with experience recognizing behavior changes and handling medications when needed. My goal is consistent, reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I love all animals. I love walking, am playful with them and take them to parks etc. I had a German Pointer, Vita, from puppy til her death. She was extremely loyal to me. Although I lived with my husband and kids, I was her person. Overall, I can tell animals are very "attracted" to me and even my friends notice that with their pets. I help taking care of my son's black lab. Im available most of days after 4PM and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I love walking in the parks and neighberhoods. Your pets will be safe and get necessary care and excersises with me. If boarded in my house I will take care of him like my own pet. No worries. I have an unfanced big yard but I love walking so Id do that twice a day. With your permission I'd take the dog to the parks and hiking trails.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 South Henderson home-away-from-home, 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 South Henderson.

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 South Henderson 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 , 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 .

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.
