Brian was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! I could not be anymore thankful for finding someone to cat sit for my Rose. He was extremely loving, caring, and attentive to her while making sure she was comfortable and adjusted. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future visits to watch Rose and recommend him to anyone!

Excellent care for our Ms. Giggles. Ashley took great care of her. It was like a vacation resort for our dog. Her own animals are great play mates. Highly recommend her.

About: I have taken care of animals big and small, disability’s and special needs included, for many years. I am very flexible and a responsible young adult that would love to spend time with your pet regardless:) I’m currently working full time. I am a very aware and responsible person. I am responsive to unsettling situations without hesitation, and I know many things about an animal's body language and habits overall. I work every weekday 6am-2:30pm and I’m off every weekend. I go to church every Sunday but should be gone no more than 4 hours :) I try my best to establish and follow comfortable boundaries with pet parents and pets alike and I carefully follow instructions left to me to the best of my ability :)

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for them. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve always had pets, so caring for animals is already a part of my daily life. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I make sure pets are well cared for by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I have a fenced area at my home where dogs can safely play and get exercise. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!

About: Hey! I’m Mars, your dog’s new favorite guy 🐶😎 I’m a fun, reliable, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping their routine on track, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how hard it is to be away from your dog, so I send photo and video updates to keep you smiling and worry-free. Your pup will get plenty of attention, good energy, and tail-wagging fun the whole time we’re together. Your dog won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend 🐕✨ I’m currently working full-time Monday through Friday and I’m off on the weekends so I have plenty of free time to attend to your dog! I have a fence yard and one dog that’s very friendly, but for my preference, my dog will be in a separate area than your dog, because your dog is the number one priority and safety as well I live alone, so your dog is like part of the family, I also recommend you provide your own crate. And provide any special toys that your dog enjoys playing with that will make his/her stay enjoyable.

First time getting a sitter for our dog and would definitely do it again! Kassie was flexible and shared plenty of pictures while we were out of town. Her sweet dog Benji gets along well with other pups and for sure helped my dog be more comfortable. Our dog enjoyed her stayed and the trips to the dog park!

About: I love to care for dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was 4 years old. I have friends and family asked and relied on me to walk, feed, and/or bathe their pets. I’m a retired veteran, so I’m fortunate enough to have the time to attend and care to your fur babies’ needs. I’ll be able to visit your pet anytime of the week with a proper notice. I can visit your home to care for your pet. I’ll be able to take them on walks or dog parks. I also have a personal companion dog (morkie) that can provide a perfect playmate.

Jeneen was attentive. She spoke very kindly to Ruby and Lizzy and encouraged them to eat and play. We got pictures and videos at each visit and she wasn’t in a rush but spent time with them. when I introduced Lizzy to Jeneen Lizzy hissed at her so during our time away, she allowed our Lizzy the space needed to warm up to her. By the end of the time, Lizzy was coming to Jeneen when called. Thank you for your care for our girls!

About: I’m a mom of one boy, and one boy cat (neutered). I love all fur babies like they were my human babies. I dog sat for 6 Dalmatians at once, for 2 years, and it was a great experience! Trust me to take care of your babies, and you’ll become like family too. Willing to bathe and brush, minimal nail clipping if desired (extra services not included in base pricing). Also available for walks if needed. My son is well aware of the proper way to care for and handle animals, he may just love them too much! Let’s chat and discuss how I can help you feel comfortable with leaving your precious pets in my care. Ready to meet your littles and have a blast with them!! I am going back to college to finish my BS, Business Management, and looking to support my family financially through spending time with pets-which can easily be done as a remote student. I have experience in working with senior dogs, administering medications, and going above and beyond to look after special needs. I have stayed in homes over night on extended stays

About: Me and my wife love animals. We have a cat an a dog in our home country, the Schnauzer and the kitty from the picts. Sadly t they are not living with us right now. We love animals, we feel very comfortable around them and enjoy their company. My work is flexible son I can be with them anytime. We do not travel very often, so weekends work for us as well. My wife is a teacher so she stays at home after school. I work from home so I can always provide them company and walk them around anytime. There is a small backyard in our house. Enough for them to relax, walk around and enjoy a sunny day. We took care a big dog the other day and she enjoyed being there relaxing of course under our supervision!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog. As a pet caretaker with a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s needs. I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm. This approach helps me give attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly two year old female German Shepherd loves to play. And also a male rat terrier mix. I can also crate if needed. Also lots of treats and toys!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Whitakers

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 41 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Whitakers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter 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.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Whitakers 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 Whitakers.

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 Whitakers 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.
