“Danielle was amazing! Incredible communication and pictures every day! Highly recommend! I definitely would book again with Danielle. Thank you so much for taking care of Buzz 😊”
“Melissa is friendly and easy to communicate with! I was worried about my dog getting along with hers but they all did well together and I will be rebooking another stay for my dog with Melissa soon!”
“I could not have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving Otis with her. She has such a warm, loving home, a big yard for him to run and play in, and a sweet little girl dog of her own to keep him company. She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept me updated on how he was doing, which meant so much to me. Otis is still a puppy with LOTS of energy, and he can definitely test the limits and be a little naughty at times! 😂 She handled all of his puppy antics like an absolute pro—with patience, kindness, and a great sense of humor. Most importantly, I could tell that Otis was genuinely cared for and loved while he was there. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your dog and know that he’s not just being “watched,” but is actually comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. I would absolutely trust her with Otis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and capable sitter. We definitely found our Rover sitter! ❤️🐾”
“Lindsay and Jeremy were fantastic! We got daily updates and videos. Our boy played hard and came home happy and tired. :) We will definitely be using them again for pettsitting!”
“Everything went great! Brian was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. It’s always nice to get a vacation knowing your pet is in safe hands. Thanks again Brian!!”
“Zach and family did such a great job with our golden doodle. This is the first time we had left our dog with anyone else, and we would not hesitate to do it again with Zach. Our dog Baker Blu enjoyed daily walks and a lot of playtime with Zac’s dog Millie. In fact, I think Baker Blu was a little depressed when he came back home for the first couple of days because he missed Millie so much. Thanks Zach, appreciate you taking such good care of Baker Blu while we were away.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 1/2 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 1/2 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. Boarding Notes: I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! House Sitting Notes: I am more than happy to pack up and come stay at your home to watch your dog(s)! My only condition is that I would need to bring my two dogs with me for the house sitting stay. If this is something you would not allow, I will not be able to house sit for you. If you are open to this, we can discuss more about rules/regulations if I were to house sit for you to make sure you are fully comfortable with me and my two dogs staying in your home once you submit the request! Drop In Notes: I am happy to do drop in's to care for your dogs, instead of boarding them at my house. For drop in's, I would stop by 1 or 2 times each day for a length of time you request to play and care for your dogs. I would not stay overnight. I do this for families that would prefer their dogs stay in their own environment and not get boarded. You should only book this if your dog(s) can go 12 hours or more without a bathroom break. If your dog(s) cannot do that, I would strongly encourage you to board your dogs with me or request I house sit - either way I would make sure they are very comfortable and safe. I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term boarding, drop ins, house sitting - plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! My services are worth the investment so you have peace of mind! If you are interested in my services, put a request in so we can plan everything out. I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!
“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”
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.
“Tainah was great! She was able to take Penny in for the Thanksgiving weekend on a pretty short notice. She had 2 great dogs that got along wonderfully. Penny came home a happy lab (that's saying something since labs are always happy to begin with)! Definitely will use again.”
“Angela was amazing 🤩 She kept us updated on our fur babies stay. We couldn’t wait to see the daily pictures and videos. My babies looked so happy 😁 Thank you Angela for caring for Obi-Wan and BigFoot. 🫶🏽”
“Nicole is great with my baby and sent pictures everyday. She was available and happy to take care of my cat and I plan to use her services again come end of the month! Recommend her for sure!”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I offer dog sitting in my safe and welcoming home in Oxford, NC, where your pup will get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise. Whether your dog loves to run around, play fetch, or just relax and cuddle, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like family. I also send lots of pictures and updates so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Creating a fun, clean, and safe environment for every pet is my top priority, and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m able to accommodate pets close to my area easily and make their care a priority while keeping a consistent, calm, and loving environment. Providing a safe environment for pets is very important to me. I have a large yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise while always being supervised and monitored closely. Inside my home, I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and routines to make sure they stay happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Afton 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 Afton.
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 Afton 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.
