“So grateful for Tara! She was very accommodating and patient with my many questions. Once you meet Tara and her family you can tell they are animal lovers. Autzen was well cared for the entire time. Tara's home is a perfect space for running and relaxing. We will definitely be returning!!”
“Olivia was wonderful! My pup loves staying with her and her family. She responds quickly to messages and sends me pictures of my pup throughout the day. She treats him as like he is hers. Olivia has a nice backyard and he loves running around there too! Her daughter is also sweet and gentle with my pup. it’s such a joy to see pictures of them running around and having a great time. It gives me peace of mind that I can leave my pup with this loving family to take care of him when I can’t. Wish I could give Olivia more stars!”
“Sally Ann enjoyed daycare with Elizabeth and her doggies. We were sent many pictures throughout the day, and communication through text was great! We certainly hope Sally would be welcome to come again,”
“Cody had a lovely time with Caitlin! And I was completely comfortable that he was being well taken care of, through great communication and photos. We’re so happy to have found Caitlin that we’ve already rebooked Cody to stay with her!”
“Morgan and her family were absolutely AMAZING to my sweet pup! You can really tell that she (along with her children) really just love to care for animals. I was very satisfied with everything, my pup had two days of “day care” when my work schedule was extremely busy & my pup was so excited to go back the next day and see her family. Thank you again Morgan!”
“Milo loves Sanya! She sent pictures of him interacting with the other dogs, playing, outside...he had a ball! Got all of his energy out. He is the most laid back now I have ever seen him! Thanks Sanya!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats well over 40 years. This includes small and large animals of many breeds including young animals and also seniors with temperaments as well. I'm a dedicated animal lover with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats and other animals as well. I currently work from home so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet and allow potty breaks as needed as well. I have a fenced back yard and two friendly animals (cat and dog) to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable while being cared for. I will also provide companionship, cleaning litter boxes and pet areas, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities and my goal is to treat every pet s if they were my own, giving their owners peace while away and knowing they will be in good hands.
“I booked Michael with only 2 days notice as I had to figure out last minute work travel plans. Booking and during the stay he was responsive and sent me updates throughout the day. He asked questions and we were aligned on daycare expectations. Macy had a messy bathroom accident shortly after I left and I felt that Michael handled this professionally and understanding as a fellow dog parent.”
“Communication from the beginning has been fantastic! I was looking for a daycare weeks before I actually needed it because of a relocation and Rachelle and Christopher answered every question and addressed every concern. I have a challenging dog and she’s only ever been in one daycare in her life. She and her sister had an amazing time during their first visit. Driving from Greensboro is totally worth it!”
About: What sets me apart isn’t just my certifications or years of experience. It’s my commitment to creating customized training plans that teach both the dog and the handler. Every dog learns differently and every owner deserves to understand why their dog behaves the way it does. My goal is to build lasting communication, confidence and reliability that extends far beyond our training sessions, whether I’m working with a family pet, a behavior case, or a future service dog. Because I work with dogs daily in my own home or on location it fits right into what we do here. Board and trains also come into play as we offer a family environment over kennels and runs. Our pets are part of our family and believe that they deserve the world and as much unconditional love just as they show us, no matter our faults are. ALL DOGS WHO BOARD WITH US MUST HAVE UP TO DATE VACCINES INCLUDING KENNEL COUGH - no exceptions.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life but only sitting for 2 years! I love animals and am always looking forward to learning more. I’m a Cornell student home in NC for the Summer. I work remotely with an internship. With this schedule it is easy to take pets on walks, drop by and check on them, and make sure they get all the care and attention they deserve! I always leave things the way I found them if not better! Including living spaces and animals. I always want to make sure I keep someone’s area clean and make sure I keep someone’s animal safe and happy while with me!
“Valkyrie has a wonderful time with Mary and comes home acting like her normal self. I’m so glad to have found Mary. She sends photos and updates throughout the day and my mama heart knows my baby is taken care of. 🥰🐶”
About: Since my college years, I have provided dog sitting services - from dog walking to staying in homes and providing in-home services. Now that I have my own home I am excited to continue helping those who need boarding assistance. Hi, My name is Emily! I'm so happy you stumbled on my profile. I am a freelance social media manager as well as a dog trainer. These jobs allow for a flexible schedule. I have grown up around dogs my whole life, and I'm currently a dog mama! I have personally used Rover and know how stressful it is to find the perfect person to watch your fur-babies. I can't wait to meet you and I hope I can help you whether you need day-care assistance or dog-sitting services. While I don't have a fenced in yard, I do take your dog out for frequent potty breaks. I think this is better than having a fenced yard because it means your pup gets more walks and interaction.
About: Hi! I’m Amanda, and dogs are a big part of everyday life in our home. I have several dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the importance of making sure each dog receives the individual attention they need. I keep my boarding numbers limited because I want every dog staying with me to feel comfortable and cared for—not like they’re just one of many. My partner works from home, so someone is usually here throughout the day, and dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. We also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised potty breaks, playtime, sniffing, and time outside throughout the day. I also have a wooded area behind my house for hiking adventures! A typical stay may include walks, outdoor time, enrichment, play, rest breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to adjust the routine based on your dog’s normal schedule, personality, energy level, and comfort. Safety is always a priority in our home. I take introductions slowly, closely supervise interactions, and can keep boarding dogs separate from my personal dogs when needed. I understand that not every dog is immediately comfortable in a new place, so they’ll be given the time and space they need to settle in. I also have experience with dog training and enjoy providing dogs with structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement during their stay. Feel free to message me about your dog’s training needs and the individualized options that may be available! I know leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog receives thoughtful, personalized care and is treated like one of our own.
About: 3. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to each pet. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and preferences, and tailor my care accordingly. I also prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure that they are updated and informed about their pet's well-being while under my care. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that they have a comfortable and safe space to stay in. I provide them with food, water, and toys, and take them on regular walks or playtime. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their routines and schedules as closely as possible and make sure to provide them with the same level of care and attention as if they were in my own home. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to schedule enough time to feed, walk, play with, and care for pets.
“Sent tons of pictures of my pup. Took a lot of stress off my day and picked up/dropped off on time. Will definitely use her again. Her dogs are gentle giants and did great with jazzy.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Advance commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 343 sitters in Advance, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
