“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! Leaving all of our dogs for the first time was incredibly nerve-wracking for us because, honestly, we have never been apart from them like this before. We were so nervous about how they would handle being away from home, but from the very beginning, we knew they were in amazing hands. The pictures and updates we received throughout their stay meant so much to us. Being able to see their happy faces, know what they were up to, and get little updates throughout the day gave us such peace of mind while we were away. They were incredibly gentle, patient, and understanding with Maple, who is still very new and was understandably a little unsure of everything. They took the time to understand each of our dogs’ very different and interesting personalities and made sure each one was comfortable and happy in their own way. And of course, Ace, Zatanna and Ember absolutely LOVED their pool time! 😂 Seeing them having the time of their lives running around, playing, swimming, and getting all the love and attention they could possibly want made our hearts so happy. All of the dogs clearly had an absolute blast. They got to run around, play, explore, and most importantly, they were given so much individual love and attention. They truly made our dogs feel like they were at home rather than somewhere they had never been before. For dogs who had never been boarded before, I honestly could not have asked for a better first experience. They came home happy, tired, and clearly very well loved. That means everything to us. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies, for being so patient with them, and especially for keeping us updated and sending so many pictures. You made something that was VERY difficult for us so much easier, and we are incredibly grateful. We absolutely cannot wait to use you again for future vacations! Our dogs may have had their own little vacation while we were gone, and I think they’re already looking forward to the next one! ❤️🐾”

“Olivia was amazing! We left our 7m kitten with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and well taken care of. He absolutely loved staying with her! He got along so well with her male cat and even had fun with her two kids. Olivia was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and we could tell our kitten was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

“Jessica was an amazing Sitter. She’s a great care of our Sheepadoodle. He loved being there she must update it on how he was doing and sent us lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her to watch your dog.”

“Amazing is all I can say!!! This was the first time Marcus stayed away from us and from the pics and videos we had nothing to worry about!! Faith was so so sweet and welcoming!! Even her mom came out to welcome him and they had home made treats!! Yes, home made!!!! 🍪 If you need puppy care, look no further, Faith is wonderful!! Thank you so so much for loving our fur baby! 🩵🐶”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend her! She did an amazing job taking care of Bruno and made the whole experience stress-free. She was patient, caring, and treated him like he was her own. I could tell Bruno was comfortable and happy, which means a lot. Great communication, reliable, and someone I’d definitely trust with him again!”

“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”

About: I’ve worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility for the last 2 years, and have done volunteering and sitting previously. I’ve cared for many dogs ranging from 8 weeks to in their late senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs as well as administering medication by mouth. I’m currently working and in school part time, so I have some extra time throughout the week and weekends! I am available any weekday except Wednesdays and Fridays. When I’m not in school or working, I would love to care for your pup! I would follow the feeding instructions, making sure your pup has food and water at all necessary times. I would make sure their space is clean, and that they are let out to use the bathroom periodically. To ensure that your pup is safe and comfortable I would love to know their typical habits and behaviors around your home.
About: Hi! I am JoLynn and I am a pet owner and animal lover that enjoys dedicating my time to dog walking and drop in animal care! I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters and domestic ducks. My current pets are a miniature dachshund, a large breed doberman, a blue and gold macaw and a domestic duck! I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I will make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and love he/she needs while you are away. Your pets will receive the same care I would want for my own. I am an energetic, trustworthy, caring person with a flexible schedule and would love to care for your pet! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Thank you❣
“Remi and Harper had a fabulous stay over the holidays! It was so comforting getting daily messages and pictures to show that my pups were in good hands while I was away! We were even able to set up a meet and greet prior to their stay to ensure all the dogs got along! I would highly recommend Jessica for any future boarding needs - I’m already looking at their availability for our trip in the spring!”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was 21. I am a nurse and feel comfortable taking care of dogs of any age. I currently have my own doggo who is a 14yr old, spade, lab beagle mix. I am presently working from home and have availability for daily pet care. Even for my own dog I am traditionally not away for more than a few hours. I have a fenced in patio and my own dog to help keep your pet company. Walks will always be leashed ones. If there are any concerns with how your pet and mine would get along I would be more than happy to conduct meet and greets.

“Elise was absolutely wonderful to work with. She has great customer/pet skills. She offered a meet and greet, which meant a lot to me personally. She communicated with me throughout summer‘s entire stay including pictures. She made Summer feel as if she were right at home and I could see that in the pictures I would highly recommend Elise to any first time users and I will definitely use her again when needed.”

About: I have grown up around pets, mainly dogs and cats, but I also currently have fish and have been around rabbits as well! I currently have a 10 year old beagle, who is chill but still loves to play and interact. I am currently a stay at home mom to an almost 3 year old daughter. She loves animals and is gentle and respectful of their space as well. I have some fish and a 10 year old beagle as well! I am flexible with my schedule due to being a stay at home mom and can provide care throughout the day as well! I have a screened in porch area and a fenced in backyard. I have plenty of space inside as well and walking paths in my neighborhood!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. My family currently breeds labradoodles, so I know all about puppy energy and overall high-energy pups. We currently have 4 dogs of our own. As a full-time student at ECU, I keep an organized schedule that allows me to provide reliable, consistent care for pets throughout the week. When I'm not in class or studying, I dedicate my time to pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I communicate my availability in advance and plan my schedule carefully to be dependable for both new and returning clients. When caring for your pet, I try to stick closely to their routine—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications—to keep them happy and comfortable in their familiar space. I aim to be reliable, respectful of your home, and I'm always more than happy to send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet (and owner) comfort is a high priority, especially with the stress everyone is probably feeling! I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!
“Candace was wonderful. She helped me out last minute over thanksgiving. My dog came home calm and happy. She loved Candace’s dogs and I received lots of updates. We will definitely use her again!”

“Bianka took such good care of our two huskies- they went on plenty of walks and Bianka kept us frequently updated with messages and pictures. Our dogs came home tired and we would happily have them stay with her again!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing reliable, attentive care. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by following routines closely, ensuring safety, and giving each pet individualized attention so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I don’t work outside the home and complete my college classes online. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on walks, feedings, playtime, and individualized care, while being attentive to each pet’s needs throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I enter. I follow each pet’s routine closely, respect house rules, and ensure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times. I have over four years of experience caring for cats, including my own 7-month-old kitten who was recently spayed, which has strengthened my attention to detail and patience. For walks, I focus on safe routes and attentive handling, and for overnight stays, I keep pets comfortable, maintain cleanliness, and provide consistent updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

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.
97% of sitters in Vanceboro 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 Vanceboro 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 Vanceboro.
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 Vanceboro. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Vanceboro 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.
