“Fred had a long-term stay with David and his family while we were in the middle of a cross-country move. He had a meow-velous time and was returned to us happy and with new toys. Dave's kids treated him like one of their own and Fred loved his time with them. We were so relieved to have a comfortable, caring home-away-from-home so gave us piece of mind so that we could concentrate on selling our house, packing it up, waiting for the new house, move in and unpack -- a two-month process that avoided a lot of trauma for our cat and worrying for us. So happy that Dave was such a good fit!”
“Katrin is so good with my anxious Wes. She’s super communicative with me, always sending pics & vids. She even added in an extra day of care when my flight got delayed.”
“Tracy was the best dog sitter for our two small dogs over the holidays! She provided daily updates and photos, all of which involved lots of snuggles, but wasn’t overwhelming with communication. It seemed like our dogs were instantly comfortable in her presence, which is a testament to her experience as a dog sitter. She was very thoughtful on New Years Eve comforting one of our dogs who is afraid of fireworks. We will definitely be reaching out to her first with our dog sitting needs in the future.”
“Denetra was wonderful and it was a smooth & easy process from the initial meet & greet throughout the entire stay. She was responsive and provided daily updates. I found her in a pinch ahead of the July 4th weekend. She was a life saver and Duke seemed to settle in with her immediately! #dogwhisperer”
“Julie and her husband were great! They took on a big job with our 4 month old puppy and seemed to do it effortlessly. We really appreciated their updates, personalized communication, and all the loving attention they gave our little girl. We will definitely bring her back!”
“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!”
“Ravon and her husband were the nicest people! They took great care of out 3 cats, Great communicator! Sent pictures and updates to let us know how the cats were doing, highly recommend.”
“Krystina is amazing! My dog always gets SO excited to spend time with Krystina and loves his playdates with her dog! She is always on top of his meds, attentive to our dog, and communicates well with how our dog is doing and shares pictures regularly. I always know my dog is in great hands with Krystina, I highly recommend her for any services! She is the best! We’re moving out of state but wish we could take her with us for future sitting needs!”
“Amanda was a dream. She helped me out when I had my days mixed up and was lovely with my pup. She was so gre At my pup didn’t want to leave. Would definitely recommend and rebook.”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! We had never before left Watson for this long and were anxious about it. But Lauren sent pictures and comments frequently and it was clear he was soon having a great time with her and Dito! We can't thank Lauren enough for her great care and thoughtfulness!”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with Mavis! This was a stay of over a week, and I immediately felt at ease knowing Mavis was in good hands. Amber was willing to take Mavis even though it was her first time being away from me and she was still working through some anxiety as a recent rescue. Amber went above and beyond to make sure Mavis was happy, comfortable, and having fun—from trips to the dog park to letting her sleep on the bed with Amber and her two sweet dogs, Tootsie & Gilly. Mavis got along amazingly with both of them! Amber was also incredibly communicative, sending pictures every day and responding quickly to messages. I would absolutely recommend Amber (and Tootsie & Gilly!) and will definitely book with her again whenever Mavis needs a sitter. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! ❤️”
“We love Hannah and Wally. They are very welcoming and friendly. Hannah is great with communication and shares photos of your dog so you feel relaxed because you know you dog is in good care. Our first visit went so well that we rebooked when we returned to visit NC. We plan to have our dog stay with Hannah and Wally again.”
“Jodie was available to watch our sweet Shiba with little notice when we decided to sneak away to the beach last minute. Jodie is an excellent communicator, sending frequent photos and updates, and it is very obvious that she makes her canine guests feel comfortable and at home. We highly highly recommend Jodie!”
“Paris did a wonderful job watching my Senior dachshund for a week. It was my pet’s first time staying with someone who she didn’t know. I was really nervous about leaving her but my pet did great. Paris sent pictures and messages every day about what had happened during that day. My pet seemed to settle in well and had a great stay. I definitely will contact Paris again if I need to board my little Doxie again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Timberlake
Rachel was terrific! This was the first time we have left Bella since we got her four months ago, and we knew it would be scary for her. We couldn't have picked a better place. Rachel's kids were calm and gentle and patient with her, and Bella soon learned that lap-surfing was a pretty good deal. Rachel communicated regularly about how things were going and included photos, which helped reassure us a lot. We are grateful for the good care and love Bella received for the three nights we were gone, and we will definitely be repeat clients!

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 Timberlake 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 Timberlake 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 Timberlake.
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 Timberlake. On Rover:
- 87% 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 Timberlake 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.
