“Kerri was amazing for us with our doodle puppy in a last minute booking. She stayed in communication with us with lots of pictures and video. Maverick was taken care of just as well as he is at our house during his stay. Can’t say enough positive about this experience, which was our first with Rover and someone outside of our family keeping our dog.”
“Our Molly had the best time with Lorraine. Could not have asked for a better experience. She is so nice and genuinely loves dogs. So happy to have found her and will definitely use again.”
“Wonderful place! They updated me with pictures. Clearly our dogs had fun based on how tired they are. They check everyone's vaccine records to insure safety. I'm really glad we picked them! I felt they were in good hands!”
“Sharon was very attentive and took great care of our dog Solo. She sent tons of photos and videos. Solo looked very happy in all the photos. I will definitely ask Sharon to care for Solo if the needed..”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“Renee was so awesome and helpful in watching our pup Migo on a last minute short notice. She was very responsive, available to meet and even flexible with my schedule, and sent us pictures and updates of our dog throughout the stay. He seemed to have a great time with her and we hope that he can stay with her again in the future!”
“My dog had a wonderful short stay with Sayaka. She let me know when he settled in and shared lots of photos. He got along well with her dog and. Appreciated the attention from her son. Definitely recommend.”
“I've tried several Rover dog sitters and Alcino is the best. They take your dog in as one of the family. No spending long hours in a crate. Just jump in and feel at home.”
“Scott & Heather are fantastic!! I’ve rebooked multiple times. Not only are they kind and welcoming they’re knowledgeable about dogs. They made me feel extremely comfortable during the meet and greet. My dog, Jade, is a super energetic lab and they handled her with ease. They send pictures of her to keep us updated throughout her stay. Their house is very warm and inviting. I love that Jade is with a family on her mini vacation when we travel. You can tell they have a love for dogs it shows in their service. They’re definitely our go to sitter!”
“Zach and family took such great care of Luna and I felt comfortable while traveling knowing she was in good hands! They were great about sending pics and videos as well as being flexible around dropoff and pickup. Thanks again and we will be seeing you all again soon!”
“Haven and her family were wonderful! They were so friendly and welcoming when we dropped our dog off and she sent great updates throughout our trip. Her dog was so friendly and sweet also. We will definitely book with Haven again.”
“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”
“We feel so lucky to have found such a great home to leave our Benny for the weekend. We appreciate the pictures, laid back demeanor, and flexibility. Our boy came home very happy. 10/10.”
“Kourtney and her family went above and beyond in caring for our two pups while we were on vacation out of the country. Our young male cavapoos were cared for nine days and returned looking wonderful and very content. Communication was excellent while we were away as we received pictures and updates daily. Both dogs bonded with Kourtney and her family, slept well, ate well and got plenty of exercise. They chose favorite spots in the house and near Kourtney just as they do in our own home. Additionally, we were late with drop off and Kourtney worked with us. She was extremely cordial, professional and put our young pups at ease quickly…and us, too! I highly recommended Kourtney. You will have no worries with your pets! We will definitely use her again.”
“Mandi was phenomenal with my pups. They had a great time, she sent plenty of updates/pictures throughout the weekend, and they were very well taken care of. 10/10 recommend!”
“I have a problem pup that I didn’t initially know was going to be a problem. Paige did a wonderful job working with my skittish female shepherd, keep her safe and loved until I got back home! She even checked up on my chickens for me while I was gone! 10/10 would recommend.”
About: My name is AnnaMarie, and I love dogs. I work from home Thursday thru Sunday and would love to spend some time with your pups. This is my way of NOT getting another dog even though I want to lol. I used to pet sit for my neighbors whenever they would go on vacation, and I have two dogs myself (one a 4-month old puppy!) and am very protective. I'm always very respectful in other's homes and would provide the best time for your pups. I am available for helping with dogs as I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I am accustomed to early morning, midday and evening walks and am very familiar with providing medication as one of our dogs was a senior with a variety of health issues. I now also have a 4-month old puppy so I understand all the puppy antics too! At my own house, I have a big fenced in backyard and a very walkable neighborhood for walk breaks. I also am able to crate your dog or my dogs depending on your dogs personality and what suits them best. In client homes, I am extremely respectful of your space and happy to to do walks, medications, clean up if needed, etc.
“Dellys was a wonderful dog sitter! She was very kind and thoughtful, both to me and my pup. She sent tons of photos, and took my dog to do loads of fun and engaging things. She clearly loves dogs and loves taking care of them. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
About: I love all animals. I love walking, am playful with them and take them to parks etc. I had a German Pointer, Vita, from puppy til her death. She was extremely loyal to me. Although I lived with my husband and kids, I was her person. Overall, I can tell animals are very "attracted" to me and even my friends notice that with their pets. I help taking care of my son's black lab. Im available most of days after 4PM and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I love walking in the parks and neighberhoods. Your pets will be safe and get necessary care and excersises with me. If boarded in my house I will take care of him like my own pet. No worries. I have an unfanced big yard but I love walking so Id do that twice a day. With your permission I'd take the dog to the parks and hiking trails.

As of November 2026, there are 305 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Willow Oaks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Willow Oaks 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 Willow Oaks 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 Willow Oaks.
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 Willow Oaks. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Willow Oaks 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.
