“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.”
“This is our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Kathy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Oreo. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, and provided consistent updates and pictures throughout his stay. We hope to utilize her in the future, and would definitely recommend her services.”
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
“Recently got a red lab puppy and had to go out of town. Leslie provided excellent care for the puppy and we are using her to watch Lucy, now 6 months old during our vacation this summer. Highly recommended”
“Itzel was so great with our pup. She was very communicative and sent pics every day. We could tell she loved him and he was taken care of while he was there. Thanks so much!”
“Communication was impeccable. I appreciate the consistency of the detailed information provided daily. I had zero worries while on my trip out of the country. I knew my dog was in the perfect care with a family whom is loving and caring. Highly recommend. I would definitely leave my Ocean in Kayla’s care again.”
“I was short notice finding boarding and Brittany got back to me very timely. She provided updates as well as pictures which made my first time using her very comfortable. Will use again!”
“Ashley is a great sitter! She was very nice and made me feel comfortable leaving my Max with her! She sent awesome updates daily with cute pictures of Max enjoying himself! Definitely getting her to sit Max again! 10/10 Definitely Recommend !!”
“Norma is awesome!! She is so accommodating to your schedule, keeps you well informed with lots of pictures and status updates and clearly loves what she does! Baker made some great new friends and came home exhausted after his long weekend with Norma.”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough about the excellent care my baby receives from Carrie. Gravy just loves to spend time with her and comes home so happy. I always feel at ease leaving her and know that she is in the best of hands ❤️.”
“Great experience! Tyeriah kept my very energetic JRT for 3 days while I was on vacation. She was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures and texts with updates. He was exercised and cuddled and shown lots of love until we returned.”
“I want to thank Jeanette for taking good care of Buster. He enjoyed himself so much, especially around other dogs that were his size, although he likes big dogs. Her dog care site was well organized and clean. All of the dogs had an open play area to just run, be free and play. One of the best out of the few I have booked with thus far. I plan on booking with Jeanette again in the near future.”
“Rhona was great! She took care of Zeus like he was her own and sent updates and pictures. She has a perfect fenced in backyard and Zeus had a blast running around and playing. I highly recommend Rhona's as the place to board your pet.”
“Amy & Ross always take such great care of our senior dog! We love getting photos and updates from them. We will continue to contact them for our future dog sitting needs! Highly recommend!”

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.
