“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!”
“Benji was treated like part of the family and absolutely loved his time with your family. Thank you so much for taking great care of him, sending updates and allowing us to enjoy our time away. We will definitely be back!”

“Ellie and Karson were so good to my girl! Ellie kept me updated with pictures and took her on walks. My baby was taken very good care of! I would definitely let Ellie and Karson keep Charlie again in the future!!”
“Andrea was amazing with our fur baby!!! She kept us updated with pictures and messages the entire time. He was in great spirits when we picked Jax up and looked like he had a wonderful time. No issues what so ever! HIGHLY recommend Andrea for your babies needs!”
“Scooter spent another great week with Brianna and her family! He had an injury several weeks prior to his stay and Brianna took amazing care of him and made me feel safe knowing that he was being well cared for.”
“Thank you for taking care of Cleo! You can tell that Jessica is very attentive to the pets she takes care of. She returned all of the items we sent her with and they all came back cleaned! Very amazed. Definitely recommend to book with her and we will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“I’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“Candace was a phenomenal caregiver to my Bella. She provided daily updates and photos. I wasn't sure how my Bella would interact with her fur babies, but they got along wonderful. I highly recommend her to spoil and care for your pet whenever you are away.”
“Gina was great she provided daily updates and sent pics of my furry baby. I never worried about him I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Maribel was an incredible sitter for my dog, Gumbeaux. She was incredibly responsive, sent daily updates with pictures and was very willing to work with my schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing boarding for their dog.”

“Ashley is a very nice person and great to work with in setting up the sit. She was very responsive to email messages before, during, and after the sit. Ashley provided photos of our dog during her stay with her. We felt that Abby received great care during the week she stayed with Ashley. When we arrived to drop off Abby and when we picked her up, Ashley was ready for us and had everything organized. We received good feedback on the stay from Ashley and will certainly use her in the future. It was a great experience for our dog and us.”
“Wonderful experience, great communication. Our quirky little Bugg had a blast and came home happy, healthy, and well exercised. It was our first time leaving him with non-family and Amber & boys put our minds at ease. Highly recommend!”
“My wife and I cannot express enough gratitude for Jenna and Shane who watched our dog on such short notice. They stepped in last minute to help us out, allowing my wife and I to enjoy a much-needed week at the beach. Our dog returned home full of energy and joy, clearly having had a fantastic time playing with their dogs. The care and attention they provided were exceptional, and it's evident that our furry friend felt right at home. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable, loving dog sitter. Thank you both for everything and we will absolutely be seeing you again!”
“Jane sends me updates about Max with pictures on a regular basis. I can tell looking at the pictures that Max is very happy with Jane. I feel safe leaving Max with her. I think both of them got along really well. I highly recommend Jane if you intend to be away for a week. She’s very responsible and I trust her with my dog.”
“Piper was well taken care of, I received lots of updates and pictures. She had lots of time outside to play which is good for her energy level and had fun with their pup Hazel. The updates kept me at ease when I was out of town. Thanks for the great care!”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”

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!
Pat was fantastic with our little guy. We got quick updates, and we could tell he was very loved while we were out on our trip. When we returned, he looked totally at home with her 2 dogs and was very happy just hanging out - no stress at all! We'll definitely be using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Walnut Cove on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 469 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walnut Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
92% 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.
