“This was my first time using Rover and I must say that Lutisa was phenomenal with my little Coco. She sent pictures and video and reassured me that my sweet and spicy little Coco would be just fine. I will book again with Lutisa if she will have my little Coco.”
“Paisley was so good with Toph and responsive. She sent me pictures everyday and updated me on how she was doing. Paisley is great with animals and If recommend her to anyone!”
“Maribel was so sweet with our dogs! I have one that is 14 so I do worry about her more when we leave, but it was so nice knowing that we didn’t need to worry about her while we were on vacation. I will definitely try to use her again!”
“Ellie and Karson took great care of our dog, Moose, while my wife and I were gone for our wedding. We have an anxious dog, and I could tell he was super comfortable in their home. We will definitely be coming back to them for any upcoming vacations!”
“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!!”
“Alvaro and Catherine were absolutely amazing with my Yorkie, Atlas! From the moment I dropped him off, they made me feel comfortable and reassured that he was in great hands. Throughout the entire week, they kept me updated with pictures and videos of Atlas playing with other dogs, enjoying walks, and having such a good time. It truly meant so much to see how happy and cared for he was while I was away. Their communication, kindness, and attention to detail were outstanding. You can tell they genuinely love and care for the dogs they board. I’m beyond grateful for the care they gave Atlas, and I will definitely be using their services again. 10/10 experience — highly recommend! 😊🐾”
“We’ve had Angela take care of our dog Vinny for the second time now, and once again she did an amazing job. It’s such a relief knowing Vinny is in good hands when we’re away. Angela is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does—Vinny was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time. Communication was great, and she kept us updated, which we really appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“Holly and her family are the best! This was the first time we left our pup with someone since adopting her, but she cared for Sydney like her own! I truly appreciated the frequent updates and pictures to let me know she was doing great. I know Sydney will be excited to go back to their house and get spoiled in the future.”
About: I have always had a fondness for animals, I believe they show us the best parts of love! I have taken care of many animals including cats, dogs, and goats for many friends and family. I love spending time with the little babies who need a bit of extra attention, time, and patience! I am currently employed full time within walking distance from my apartment. I go on walks in the morning and evening, and would love more companions! I have a knack for reading how people/animals are doing in new situations, so I do my best to provide a gentle, patient, and loving home away from home!
“Ann was amazing. I have a rescue pup and I am very specific with his training and commands as he can be reactive at times. She was so responsive to my messages and knowledgeable about all things dog. She sent photos and updates throughout his stay. I would highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Excellent sitter! Very caring, attentive and loving. Sends pics and msgs to keep me updated so we could enjoy our holiday while knowing he was being were taken care of. Thank you so much and I will definitely rebook for future trips!”
“If I could give a 10 outta 5 I would. I literally just rescued Daisy, my 1lb chihuahua, and already had planned a trip home to Ohio. I'm in NC for work, and my closest friend is 3 hours away. I was petrified to leave this new scared baby with a stranger.. We met Amanda and INSTANTLY LOVED HER! I got pics and videos of my sweet tiny tot, and Amanda's dogs were PERFECT FUN AND GENTLE. I will not look for anyone else while I'm here to watch Daisy unless it's am emergency or Amanda is busy..”
“Brianna is amazing! She was incredibly thoughtful with her updates and photos. We were never concerned for how our fur baby was doing - because we constantly knew he was having fun and well taken care of. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

Maribel was very sweet with Scout, and respected his initial nervousness. We had a meet and greet prior to his stay. She has a clean and lovely home, and a well-kept large back yard, fenced in. great communication every day with photos. You're in good hands with Maribel and Molly
Margaret was an excellent sitter for my attention needy Cavalier. Margaret spotted her wanting to be near her at all times and the two of them became close. I felt confident and comfortable while I was away from her. I would highly recommend Margaret as a sitter for your “small” dog.
Our pup thoroughly enjoyed staying with Mackenzie this weekend. She was snuggled and spoiled and loved playing with her dog too. I felt so relieved to hear that she was doing well in her updates and loved seeing all the fun she was having. I would definitely trust Mackenzie to keep her again!
As first-time users of a pet sitter, we weren't sure how Eren would respond, especially given his high energy. Elisé was exceptionally patient with him and maintained constant communication, providing daily updates and valuable insights throughout our experience. When she dropped Eren off, I could tell he was genuinely sad to leave her. We felt so fortunate to have him in her care!
Rachel took great care of my fur baby and provided updates. This was my first time boarding my dog. She's my emotional support dog so I've only left her with family. All of my family moved to a different state. I was having surgery so, I had no choice but to board Menty. Rachel let Menty and I meet her ahead of time which made me more comfortable and because I was having surgery she was sweet enough to bring Menty home, even though that was not our original deal. I would definitely recommend her and I will use her services in the future. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

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.
94% of Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem.
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 Winston-Salem 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.
