“2nd time booking Shayla to watch Max and so happy she could watch him. I feel so at ease knowing he’s with someone who truly cares about our furry babies. Sent updates and pictures and Max had no issues eating so he remembered going over and immediately felt comfortable which makes me happier 😊 thank you again!”
“Robyn and her family were great to accommodate Sauvi on short notice and gave her a warm welcome. Their dog was super sweet and made the introduction stress free. I would definitely love to have Sauvi stay with Robyn again in the future.”
“Brydget is the best!! I love how comfortable our dogs are with her and they always come back so happy! She sends lots of pictures and keeps us updated on them. She is also always so flexible with us.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for 9 days while we were out of town unexpectedly. I received a quick acceptance of booking and received pictures of our Doodle bug throughout our time out of state. This is our 2nd time booking and would highly recommend.”
“Sarah was very accommodating to my last minute care need. My girl is very anxious around other people but she was comfortable around Sarah from the first meeting. My girl enjoyed her day and I would definitely recommend Sarah to care for your fury babies!”
“Tiffany is everything I wanted in a pet sitter. She listened to my concerns, responded when I checked in, she texted me with any questions and reassured me my baby was well. And sure enough, my baby was calm and is still calm - no anxiety at all! I'm so grateful! Definitely will be using Tiffany again and again.”
“The first time I met Melissa, I knew our fox terrier, Hershey ♥️ would be in good hands. Melissa is kind, caring, responsible and sends daily pictures with updates. She has a beautiful fenced in yard. I highly recommend Melissa♥️”
“Julie was great! She was very responsive and accommodating. My dog seemed to have a lot of fun with Julie and her family. She periodically sent photos and updates regarding how my dog was doing. She was accommodating when my flight got delayed, and Django had to stay another night. I look forward to another stay with Julie.”
“Kim is amazing! She took such great care of our little Mabel. She communicated each day telling me about their day and sent pictures as well! We look forward to using Kim for our next trip!”
“This was the first time I have left Olive with Shana and to say how happy I was is an understatement. Olive was happy in her home from the moment we dropped her off to the time we picked her up. She sent pictures to us throughout the weekend and it was clear that they loved having her as well. I would definitely use Shana again!!”
“The short notice was definitely appreciated! Quickly adjusted to the mishap with the time drop off! Sent several pics of Ash to ensure is he was being well taken care of and comfortable! Will definitely be using Misty again and will recommend to anyone in need of boarding services!”
“William was great he took care of our baby and took him to the beach and to the park and dealt with him howling and stuff . Really appreciate everything would highly recommend. William took our booking last minute due to moving situations which helped us so much ! Provided us with pictures and everything. Our dog is not the easiest to deal with but he managed to take care of him !”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a heartbeat for me. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing adequate playtime and basic obedience reinforcement. With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a lifelong passion. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing structured play and basic obedience reinforcement. I have a massive, fenced yard where your pup can securely run, play fetch, and burn off energy safely throughout the day!! A typical day/schedule would flow similar to this: Mornings: * 7:00 AM: Morning potty break in the huge yard, followed by a fresh breakfast and water. * 8:00 AM: A brisk morning walk or active fetching session to burn off early energy before work starts. * 9:00 AM: As I log onto work, dogs settle into my office. They can snooze on a cozy dog bed right next to my desk or look out the window. Afternoon: Play Breaks and Stretch Time • 12:00 PM: Lunch break! We head out to the big yard for 30 minutes of supervised play, sniffing, and sunshine. Afternoons/Evenings: 3:00 PM: A quick stretch and potty break. If a puppy needs a strict schedule or a senior dog needs frequent relief, this is when they get extra attention. Evening: Wind Down with added Hugs/Cuddling/Loving up on them! • 5:00 PM: Workday ends. We celebrate with dinner and a long, relaxing evening walk around the neighborhood. • 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Couch time. Dogs hang out with me in the living room for brushing, belly rubs, and plenty of love. • 10:30 PM: Final potty break in the fenced yard before a safe, peaceful bedtime. Daily sweeps of yard for any hazards; constant supervision, especially during yard times and feeding; transparency in meet ups, daily video or photo updates can be provided to help with any uneasiness or anxiety; leashes used during walks; this list is not all inclusive.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Growing up, my family had three Schnauzers and a big lab/pit mix which gave me experience with both small and large breeds from an early age! Starting around age 10, I began to regularly dog sit and care for neighbors’ pets. My experience includes potty and crate training feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, basic grooming, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away!! I’m comfortable caring for everything from small dogs to large breeds and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. I am a stay-at-home mom, my children are all school-aged, thus leaving ample time and flexibility to care for your furry friends!! I will be the sole caretaker of your animal in our home. We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, exercise, and plenty of playtime! I’m also happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs or crate your pup if that’s part of their normal routine. We have comfortable dog beds and other cozy spaces to help visiting pups feel at home, relaxed, and secure.
About: I have always had a pet in my life, and I love animals! I haven't met a dog or cat that I haven't hit it off with, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your fur baby :) My dog is definitely quirky and a bit of scaredy cat, so I know what it's like to be worried to leave your dog with someone! I have a lot of patience from my experience as a teacher, and I will make sure your fur baby feels at home! People tell me I have a calming presence, and so far it has helped with initial pet anxiety! I want to make sure you have peace of mind when you're away and that your baby has a great day :) Thank you for considering me! I am a dog mom to a chill border collie and a sassy cocker spaniel. By day, I am a romantic comedy author and a graphic designer, so my schedule is flexible and I’d love to spend some time with your fur baby/babies 🐶 My cocker spaniel would appreciate it too. lol. I want to work with you to make sure your pet is given the best possible care! I work from home so I am happy to come to you or share my home with your fur baby :) I will do everything possible so that your pet is comfortable and feels safe in their environment. Let me know what your baby enjoys and what makes them feel most at home! My dog is a bit of a scaredy cat, so I know how hard it can be with strangers and I have a lot of patience from my experience as a teacher. I love spending time with animals and haven't found a dog or cat that I haven't hit it off with yet!
About: I love animals and want to take care of them and make you feel at ease when leaving your beloved pets! My dog is friendly and would love to play but if you are not ok with that it is ok too. I work full time but I am free on the weekends to help with your pets! I can also help nights. The mornings are hard unless they stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to play with others if you are ok with that. My cat is friendly and keeps to himself.

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 Tarboro 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 Tarboro 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 Tarboro.
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 Tarboro 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 SC 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.
