“This was the second time Maple was with Leslie. Maple was eager to go in and play with Leslie's dogs. Leslie updated me on how Maple is doing. She was able to accommodate us picking up Maple little later than we originally anticipated. I would definitely recommend Leslie for others.”
“I had no worries with Shanna, every interaction showed her care for my pet was her first concern. Great communication and pictures while I was away, I truly could not have asked for more.”
About: I have always watched all my families fur babies. They have been well loved just as my own. I’m always watching training videos on dog behavior as to be ready at all times and recognizing when to step in. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home majority of my days unless I’m running errands. So they are in my care at all times. I love to send videos and pictures to keep everyone updated. So I’m hoping to love on your fur-babies soon. I’m a stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of my days unless I’m out running an errand or out with my sister doing an activity with my kids. But most of my days consist of being at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a really big back yard and open front yard and woods. We are back in the corner of the woods. I also have 2 big dogs that will help guide your dog on how to do things. I also have a crate if need be for a large breed dog if that’s something they are use too. I’m more than welcome to walk your dogs on a leash if you felt more comfortable
“Kathy was great with our 2 dogs. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. She kept them on their schedules and she sent pictures and updates to us, so we could stay informed. Any time I requested an update Kathy was very prompt. We picked up the same happy and healthy dogs we dropped off. We highly recommend her!!”
“It was are first time with Norma and our Lexy and the service was outstanding. We received daily pictures(so comforting) and Norma responded to our texts in a timely manor. Our girl really seemed happy and tired when we picked her up! We found are new sitter!”
“Winnie had a great time at Mari’s and even though she is all puppy- she seemed to acclimate and be right at home when I went to pick her up!! I was impressed by Mari’s patience and understanding since having a 7mo old lab is ALOT!! I hope to use her again!!”
“Arleen was very engaged and active with Loki from our first get to know you meeting to his week long stay. She was attentive to his dietary, sleeping and play needs. She walked Loki daily and took him on outings. He was well taken care of and we will definitely have her take care of Loki again! I think Loki has missed her since coming home!”
“Once again just the perfect sitter that makes life easy and flexible for us- and sends our puppers bad smelling fresh and clean. They probably look forward to the next vacation as much as we do!”
“Carrie is wonderful with my old, eccentric girl. She sends lots of updates and pics/videos, so I know my little girl is thriving. This was Minnie’s second stay with Carrie, and she settled in quickly. It’s such a relief to find such a perfect second home for our little Min!”
“Ira thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Kelly and her pups. She loves all dogs and handles them all well. She even took care of Ira's ‘boo-boo’ over her eye. I would highly recommend Kelly for caring for your sweet fur babies ??”
“Mary and William treated our dogs like their own. They kept us updated with how the pups were doing and just went above and beyond. We would definitely book again in the future. Very happy with our experience!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Brittany! They took such great care of our Cooke while we were away—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure all of our pup’s needs were met. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about animals and treated our dog like family. When we came to pick Cooke up he was so happy and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter!”
“Steve and Brittany did such a great job watching Finn! You can tell Finn loved his time there. Finn really enjoyed being able to play in their huge fenced in yard with Anakin. We will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Rachel has been the best with our dog Beef:) Super attentive, responds quickly and communicates well. She was great with our dogs different needs/quirks and they got along great. We now plan on using her regularly from here on out!”

“Diamond is such a phenomenal sitter! She had a birthday party for one of my pups complete with pictures, treats, gifts, and a party hat! I know my pups feel comfortable with her because when we arrive they run directly to the door with tails wagging and leashes dragging!”

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.
93% of Albemarle 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 Albemarle 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 Albemarle 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 Albemarle.
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 Albemarle 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.
