“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..”
“Our pup had a great time! He was happy and well care for. Jared was super helpful stepping in at the last minute for us. He made sure he had enough information to take good care of Weston and accommodated him on his sleeping habits. We would definitely stay with Jared again! ❤️”
“I was so grateful for Samantha and Tim! They kept Remy on such short notice and made my first rover experience absolutely amazing! They sent daily updates that made me feel at ease! Will definitely be using them again!”
“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!!”
About: I've owned, trained, been around, worked with animals for over 25 years. I would absolutely love to help love on and care for your pet! I work part time from home with a very flexible schedule that I manage myself. I am often found walking the neighborhood with my pup while listening to a podcast! I have a secure fenced in back yard and also have an XL dog kennel as well as a Small size kennel available, if needed.
“Can't say enough good things about Andrea. She is so nice, accommodating, and did a great job taking care of Mella. Throughout Mella's stay, Andrea sent pictures and gave constant updates. She was respectful of Mella's new feeding schedule and potty routine. She also took Mella on several walks throughout the day which I really appreciated! She made the whole boarding process so simple. I will definitely be using Andrea again and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: As early as I can remember, I have had a connection to animals. Since then, I have surrounded myself with them, from dogs, to horses, cats, chickens, snakes- you name it! I have 15+ years of professional animal care experience, prioritizing animal welfare, top-quality care, and overall wellbeing. I am also a skilled animal behaviorist, currently pursuing certification with the IAABC. Additionally, I have competed with my personal dog in dog sports like FastCAT. I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication (oral or injectable), caring for behaviorally complicated dogs (separation anxiety, people reactivity, etc), or anything else your family member needs. PLEASE NOTE: I work full time, and I am out of the house during the following times: M-F: 7:30a-5:15p Sat & Sun: 6:30am-12pm Thanks for reading! Have a great day! I am currently most available on weekends, but can accept weekday care needs depending on your dog's needs. My available hours are as follows: M-F: 5am-7:30am, 5:15pm-8pm Sat-Sun: 5am-6:30am, 12pm-3pm I have a spacious fenced in backyard, and one very trustworthy and playful adult dog! Jinx is an absolutely wonderful teacher dog and friend. She gets along well with any dog, and will deliver fair, appropriate corrections if another dog is out of line. Your dog will have a new best friend and be treated like family in a clean, safe, and organized environment! When I am in your home, I am respectful, tidy, and I leave every space a bit better than I found it. I will follow your and your dog(s)' rules closely, ensuring a happy and low-stress time away for you!
“Our pups had a good time with them. They got the care they needed including medication administration and catering to their anxiety. They also offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. They shared lots of photos and regular updates.”
“Nicole did a great job of communicating - sending photos and videos. Brody was in great shape who e we picked him up and even tired out due to his fun playing with the other dogs. We would leave him with Nicole again when needed.”
“Tonja and her husband were very attentive and caring to my senior dog who has separation anxiety. They took him on frequent walks, and were in constant contact with me over the three days he boarded with them. I recommend them wholeheartedly! Capri Foy”
About: I have over four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including managing illnesses, administering medications, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Through this experience, I’ve learned to pay close attention to canine behavior and body language, allowing me to pick up on subtle cues about a dog’s comfort, needs, and emotions. I understand how to respond calmly in emergency situations and how to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s encouraging a dog to eat, maintaining their routine, or simply providing companionship, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and genuine compassion. I truly see dogs as family members and believe they deserve the same respect, kindness, and care that we give to people. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, secure, and understood while they’re in my care. As a therapist who works from home, I am able to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My schedule includes regular breaks, allowing me to attend to your dog’s needs, offer potty breaks, playtime, walks, affection, and companionship without long periods of separation. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as multiple rooms that can be used to give dogs their own space when needed. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, creating a comfortable, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. Most importantly, I will be home the entire time your dog is in my care, ensuring they receive attentive supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their stay.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and attentive lawyer and dog lover. I have a flexible schedule and huge back yard, and I would love to help you feel confident knowing your pup is in good hands while you’re away! I have full-time dog sitting availability! Love to take pups for long walks and snuggle on the sofa. Available to take out as much as needed. Your pup will have lots of love and a huge fenced yard that they will love to play in! I have two small dogs who love a playmate more than anything.
“Amazing sitter. Can’t believe we even almost took our boys to a boarding facility, this is the way to go. Gabrielle was fantastic looking after our little furry family members taking them to the dog park, walking regularly and even getting them pup cups for Sam’s birthday. She is also good with giving updates and sending pictures/videos throughout their stay. If Gabrielle is someone you’re thinking about requesting to take care of your fur baby and she is available look no further she’s perfect! <3”
“Even though it’s a bit late; me and my girl were headin outta town for Valentine’s Day weekend; found Catie and decided to take our dog Buckeye to visit with her dogs to make sure they got along. After a few minutes everything went well and a couple weekends later we dropped buck off at her house. Throughout the getaway she sent us updates constantly along with pics and a couple videos of her dogs and Buckeye playin and havin fun. She kept our nerves at bay and when we picked him back up he was worn out from playin. We will definitely be using catie from now on. Thank you so much for babysitting Buckeye.”
“We have boarded with Rachelle and Christopher several times in the last year and we LOVE THEM!! They’re always so accommodating and communicative. I get pics of my girls through their stay. 10/10 will always recommend!”
About: I had my first furry friend when I was 18 against my mom’s will and everyone knows how the story ends right?! Yes she was calling herself grandma after the first week. I’m married now and we have 2 kids, waffles and pancake, yes we love breakfast food. Playing and going for walks aside from giving them love is my skill, they are also here for one lifetime experience so they do deserve to get all the love that they give us. I am currently working full time but I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day, I’m mostly looking to help around the weekends or evening care after 5pm 7 days a week. We live in an apartment, our cat goes on walks once a day and I would be happy to care for your pet in your home as well.
“First time leaving my dog with anyone other than family so I was anxious to say the least. Thankfully, Ashley was agreeable to a meet and greet before my trip which helped put me at ease. During my trip, she text updates and pics of my girl regularly! This also put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away with friends!”

Carson was such a great sitter for my Milano!! She sent pics and updates everyday, made me feel really safe and extra assured that she was taking good care of my baby. Her dogs were also very welcoming so they made him feel right at home! Definitely recommend her!!
They are excellent !!! Very loving and caring for our pets pets are for babies. Especially dealing with our hyper eccentric puppy Cooper lol. He even seems much calmer when he came home .They took excellent care and pictures and videos constant updates and always communicated with us. We are so thankful to have had them to care for our pets and such a great experience. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
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!

There are 502 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Winston-Salem. About 93% of Winston-Salem sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
