“Zoe enjoyed spending time with Chantel and family. Chantel provided frequent updates and pictures. I’m sure Zoe will return for additional visits. Thanks Chantel for taking care of our Zoe.”
“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“They were just wonderful! I got updates and pictures daily. She had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing she was in trusted hands!”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“Jordan is incredibly trustworthy and a great communicator. He was very thorough in asking all the necessary questions to care for my dog, introducing his dogs to mine and ensuring my dog was comfortable with them, and getting my dog situated in his home. He gave me plenty of updates and I felt at ease the whole time knowing my dog was well cared for! Would definitely reccomend to anyone!”
“This was our second time having Ksenia watch Caesar for us. She’s so kind and very responsive via messaging. It was clear that Caesar was happy and well cared for when we picked him up. We’re so grateful for her excellent care of Caesar so we don’t have to worry about him while we’re on vacation.”
About: I have a background in animal husbandry with experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, fish, and reptiles in both professional and personal settings. I have a B.S. degree in Zoology and have worked at a veterinarian’s office, Zoos & Aquariums, as well as ran my own rabbitry business. I love caring for animals, it is my passion. I would love to care for yours! I am insured through Pet Care Insurance. I am currently a stay at home mom and work from home part time as a travel agent so I have plenty of time to care for pets and make sure they are well cared for. I have a large indoor space and a large backyard, with plenty of walking areas in my neighborhood. I live with my husband, two kids, and Cavapoo puppy.
“We're very happy and pleased that we found Kelley on such short notice! She is so kind and her home offers the perfect environment for any pet. She sent us pictures of Marshall while we were away on vacation and that really helped put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our trip that much more because we knew he was in great hands. Marshall was very happy to have another dog and a couple loving boys to keep him company. I would highly recommend Kelley and look forward to using her again!”
“Aimee was great! Very responsive, proactive with updates (and lots of pictures), and had a variety of activities for our dog to do at her place. She’s certainly our first choice for a local dog sitter going forward.”
“Heather is fantastic! Our little guy usually stays with family, so this was our first experience with a sitter. Heather took such good care of him, was very responsive, and let us have a meet and greet before the actual stay. Your pup will be in great hands!”
“It’s hard to find someone you can trust with your fur baby, but Carol was wonderful. Great communication, very caring, and reliable. I highly recommend Carol!”
“Alex was so great with my 2 dogs! We had a meet and greet to introduce the dogs and she made me feel super comfortable about leaving them in capable hands. Very responsive, provided great updates, and I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. I would definitely recommend and will book again with Alex when I need a sitter!”
“Pam is an extraordinary dog sitter! Your dogs will be loved and admired and well taken care of by Pam the entire time. Her home is beautiful and full of toys and all amenities you need for your dog. She also has a lovely fenced in yard that our dogs loved running around in. She sends pictures and updates and is easy to communicate with. I will definitely reach out to her again the next time I’m out of town! Thanks Pam!!!”
“Cay was great! I called on him last minute because I had a family emergency out of town and overnight. My big girl had medical needs, finicky eater and not well socialized with other dogs. It was a big ask! He was a great substitute parent. She’s home now, happy and was well cared for. Thank you, Cay! Will definitely use your services again.”
About: My father owned a pet care business in New Jersey but now that I've moved to North Carolina I'm ready to continue doing what I love by myself. I plan on making this my full time job, I currently work remote so I am free any time of the day any day of the week 😁. My care is fully respectful of my clients wishes, pets will never be over or under fed, they will have plenty of exercise and play time and the house will always be clean when I'm done.
“This was Logan’s first time with Haley. He was running around and happy within 5 minutes of meeting her. Haley is a caring and loving sister. I am happy that I found her!”
“Amber was AMAZING! She was incredibly responsive, kind, and took the absolute best care of Ms. Lola. She provided multiple updates, and we never had to worry about Lola while we were out of town. I would 100% book with her again, she and her dog Charlie are the best!”
About: I have 20 years of experience caring for animals and have worked professionally in pet care, dog daycare, and grooming environments. I previously worked at PetSmart supervising pet hotel operations and at a grooming salon and daycare managing daily care and customer needs. I also help my husband with our at home grooming salon. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I understand how important patience, safety, and attention to detail are. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away! As a stay-at-home mom with one child and two dogs of our own, I have flexibility in my schedule and can coordinate pet care around my family’s routine. I’m happy to discuss availability with pet parents in advance to find times that work for everyone. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other care needs. Safety, trust, and making every pet feel at home are my top priorities! I have two extremely friendly dogs of my own who love to play and can help visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcome in a new environment. With my 20 years of pet care experience, including working in pet hotels, daycare, and grooming, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and paying attention to each dog’s personality and needs. I always follow pet parents’ instructions and routines, and I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and cared for while away from their family. I’m happy to discuss introductions and make sure all dogs are comfortable together before playtime.

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 Turlington 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 Turlington 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 Turlington.
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 Turlington. On Rover:
- 89% 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 Turlington 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.
