“Ashley was so great with oscar! Sent lots of updates and brought him to play with other dogs to get all his energy out. You can tell she really cares about the animals she takes care of. She even brushed him and washed out his ears! Will definitely bring back my pup to stay with her!”
“Maddie had a wonderful spring break stay with Gabrielle and her family! She sent us a lot of cute pics and updates so we felt very comfortable. We had to make a last minute itinerary change and Gabrielle helped us with that. This family loves dogs and dies a fabulous job! Thanks- love Maddie and family”
“Hali and Levi are the best! They kept me up to date on my sweet baby while we were vacationing and very transparent when there was a boo boo involved. Hali jumped to take her to the vet for me just for reassurance! It was nothing Hali or Levi did, my little one just decided to be clumsy! I would 10 out of 10 recommend Hali and Levi for your pet sitting!”
“Makayla was absolutely amazing with our puppy Jovi! She was so accommodating to Jovi’s specific needs and she made sure that she was happy and comfortable the whole time. I received regular updates and pictures, and I was able to thoroughly enjoy my vacation because I knew our pup was in great hands! I highly recommend Makayla!!”
About: We offer a private alternative to traditional boarding. Dogs stay on acreage with plenty of outdoor time, but also a structured, safe environment. Each dog gets individual attention, consistency, and a calm experience—especially for dogs that don’t do well in busy kennels. Pet care is a central part of our daily routine. I work from home and spend much of my time on the property, so your dog is rarely left alone and gets consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can provide structured outdoor time in a safe, controlled environment, along with individual care based on each dog’s needs. I also intentionally limit the number of dogs at one time, which allows me to maintain a calm, low-stress setting and give each dog the level of attention they deserve Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family. We keep a clean, calm, and comfortable home environment, and your dog will be included in that same space and routine. I follow each dog’s needs closely—whether that’s a structured routine for feeding, exercise, or any special care—so their experience feels familiar and low-stress while you’re away.
“Samantha and Christopher were absolutely amazing with my two GSDs! They took such wonderful care of them, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Every picture they sent showed both of my dogs looking happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which meant the world to me. My dogs have separation anxiety, so leaving them is never easy, but Samantha and Christopher made the entire experience so much less stressful. It was clear they were patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about making my pups feel safe and comfortable. I'm incredibly grateful for the love and care they gave my dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of my babies! ❤️”
“So grateful we found Emma! Professional and passionate about caring for dogs. She made us feel comfortable and kept in touch sending pictures and text messages. We were cautious as our 13 year old spaniel has not been left with anyone other than family for many years. We’ve already rebooked! Donna”
“Jordan is so great. Will continue to use her services when we go away. Our giant lab stayed with her twice now for a week and he gets the most love and beat care. She's a professional at this!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have experience with many different breeds ranging from smaller dogs to bigger dogs. My fiancé and I rescued a beagle mix a couple years ago and she’s our baby! She is probably most sweet, happy, and quiet dog you could meet. We got her when she was 8 weeks old and could fit in the palm of my hand. Now she's a stubborn big back little girl that will do any trick you ask her if you have a treat in your hand. Overall I love dogs, I feel like you can never be mad when you have one. No matter what bad things they do, they win you back over by being cute and friendly. Pet care fits in my schedule every day of the week rather it's caring for my own pet, or taking care of someone else's. It would have to be either after I get off work or before I go in. On weekends anytime would work. How I/we care for our pets at home is by walking our dog 3-4 times a day depend on how many times she has to use the bathroom. And by also feeding her 2-3 times a day depending on how much she ate the time before. -We walk our dog in the morning before work, when we get home from work, and at night before we go to bed. Majority of the we’ll feed her after she goes out in the morning and then feed her again when we get home from work.
About: My family and I love pets and we always treat any pets as if they are our own we don’t do this for money we do it because we enjoy it. I work full time but I am flexible with checking in on pets and making sure they don’t need any other assistant I will be the only one doing so I have a fenced in yard with a dog myself that goes outside multiple times for outside play an stays in doors you can depend on me having the same respect for your animal as well.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and even bunnies of every kind for many years! I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pets I’m here for whatever needs you have! I can offer check ins, feedings, and letting them out during the day. As well as play and walking throughout the day. I can also do night/ overnight sitting any day! I can care for your pets in your home exactly as you prefer! I am comfortable with all pets and can provide compatible care for your little guys whenever needed!
About: One of my biggest strengths as a pet sitter is my high energy and fun loving personality. I genuinely enjoy being active, whether that means long walks and jogs or playing fetch for half an hour. Whether your pet wants to cuddle on the couch or burn off energy with playtime, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I'm out the door Monday- Friday from 0730 to approx. 1600. I could walk/run/feed your pets in the morning prior to then and anytime after I'm home from work. Saturday and Sunday I am very flexible :) I have two cats that I will keep upstairs to give your pet the privacy and space on the first floor when boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small front and backyard but would most likely be walking/ jogging around the block with your doggo if boarding.
About: I’ve been a dedicated Rover sitter for about four years, and I’ve proudly cared for the same wonderful family’s dogs for the past three. Their pups range from a senior (10+ years) who requires daily medication, to an energetic 2-year-old, to a growing puppy—so I’m very comfortable supporting dogs at all life stages, including basic puppy training and gentle senior care. I love building long-term relationships with pets and their families, so your dog can feel safe, familiar, and genuinely cared for every time I visit. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pups plenty of attention throughout the day, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship. I’m able to adjust my schedule as needed, making it easy to provide consistent and reliable care during the week. I typically care for pets in their own home, and many of the families I work with have fenced-in backyards where I love spending time playing with their pups. I make sure they get plenty of outdoor time and try to take them on walks as often as possible. When I watch close friends’ dogs, I’ll sometimes bring them along on small outings—like trips to the beach or nearby walking trails—to help them burn off energy while enjoying some fun companionship. I love keeping pups active, engaged, and comfortable in their routine
“Beatrice was amazing! We had never left our Oliver for more than a few days so we were very nervous. Beatrice kept us updated and gave us peace of mind. Oliver played all day every day with her two dogs. We could not be happier with Beatrice and the entire experience. We will absolutely book her again.”

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.
94% of sitters in Willard 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 Willard 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 Willard.
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 Willard. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Willard 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.
