“Pat took my baby in an emergency situation. She worked with me and went out of her way to make sure that my baby was taken care of. She gave me good updates and communicated with me so I would not worry for this was a first time my baby had to stay with someone that she didn't know. She was wonderful, and I would definitely ask her to keep my baby again.”
“We felt at peace with Ellie watching Jax while we were away on a family vacation. We got great pictures and updates throughout the trip. Jax looked like he was having a great time! Will definitely continue to use Ellie’s dog sitting services for any futures trips!”
“This was the first time we left our dog with Stephanie and Matthew and it was for a 5-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were away, we were naturally a bit nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, the environment was incredibly warm, welcoming, clean and spacious, giving our dog plenty of room to feel right at home. It was clear from the daily updates that Ollie was receiving top-notch care and exercise every single day. We loved getting the pictures and comments daily—it truly brightened our trip and showed us just how well cared for and happy our dog was. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating Ollie like family!”
“Holly took the best care of our puppies, they didn’t want to leave! Her and her family treated the dogs like their own and sent lots of pictures and updates☺️ will definitely be returning to Holly the next time we’re out of town!!”
“Lutisa provided excellent care for our Shipoo, Juno. He was in her care for two weeks while our family was on vacation and I received prompt updates from her with pictures on his wellbeing. She had a good setup for Juno and when we had the meet n greet, I could tell that Juno was comfortable and felt safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Lutisa again. She is truly a pet lover and it shows when you meet her.”
“Jessica and her family were very pleasant to work with. Their house and approach felt responsible and safe for my dogs. I plan to use them again when I am in the area. Thanks!”
“Tulasi and her family have done a great job taking care of my dog Zuri. Zuri's last stay was her fourth stay already. They do a great job communicating about her care and send regular updates and pictures. I have no doubt Zuri will always be well taken care of at Tulasi's house. It is a great stress reliever to know my dog is in good hands while I am out of town.”
“Words can’t express how thankful we are for Candice. She was an amazing sitter for our fur baby. She keep us up to date on his daily activities and overall report. I will definitely be using her again. Our fur baby enjoyed himself was it was like home. We can’t thank you enough. Thank you again 🤗”
“Maribel is the sweetest and she was so caring and kept me up to date with pictures while being on my trip. Her dog Molly is so sweet and calm and perfect around other dogs. Benji didn’t want to leave when it was time to pick him up. Thank you Maribel!”
“Excellent!! Gabrielle watched our 2 Yorkies when we took a trip overseas. She was attentive and kept us updated with how our pups were doing and sent pictures regularly. This gave us peace of mind while we were halfway across the globe. When we returned from our trip and picked up our dogs, it was obvious they had been well taken care of. I highly recommend Gabrielle. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Super satisfied with my experience with Shane. He took good care of my pups. I could tell my pups were happy with their stay. Happy to have them in great hands, will definitely book again!”

“Samantha and Tim are a blessing to our family!! We love dropping off Axel to a place he is loved well! Axel loves his time with them and is happy to see them each time. They send us pictures of his adventures while we are away. Their kids love Axel and that's precious to us since our kids love him as well. Definitely recommend them to friends!”
“Andrea was fantastic!! She was so friendly and welcoming at drop off-our dog, Lily, went right on into her home without hesitation and she is typically a very nervous dog in new settings. She sent picture updates almost daily which we loved! I would recommend her and would definitely use her again!”
“I found Christopher to be genuine, caring and professional. Rudy isn’t quick to warm up to people, and he adjusted well to Christopher’s home. Christopher seemed take each dog’s needs into account to make sure everyone was cared for comfortable.”
“First time with Elizabeth. Pups seemed happy staying with her. One of them was even dealing with an infection and she was great taking care of him. Would be happy to have them stay with her again. Only wish she sent more frequent photos, but I am obsessed with my pups!”
“Absolute wonderful experience. My first time using Rover so I was nervous especially since I always take my chihuahua with me. Erica and her husband took care of my Hemi like he was their dog. Sent updates and pictures daily so it made my birthday trip so much nicer knowing my boy was safe and having fun. If you’re local to here you’ll want to look them up. Wonderful smoke free, safe environment.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Cove
We left our two fur babies with Pat this last weekend. She kept us informed how they were doing, while we were gone and even sent the cutest pictures of them! Just what mama needed to hear!! Pat is so sweet and kind. The minute we met her, we knew we wouldn’t be disappointed ~ you won’t be, either! Thank you, “Mimi” Pat!! 🩷
Pat is so sweet and friendly! My dog Molly has stayed with her several times and it has been a tranquil stay for Molly. Pat has a great outdoor area for the dogs to play and enjoy themselves. If you want photos and updates just reach out and she will send you a few. If you prefer a cadence or daily photos, I would recommend just letting Pat know in advance. Molly will be staying with Pat over Christmas and I know she will be in great hands!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Walnut Cove sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Walnut Cove landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Walnut Cove 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 Walnut Cove.
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 Walnut Cove 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.
