“Kerri and her family took such good care of my dog Ollie. He came back home a happy boy! Kerri sent me daily pictures and kept me informed on Ollie’s routine and activities. I highly recommend Kerri and her family.”
“Our lovely beagle, Snoop, had lots of fun at Rajita’s house with her lovely family! No problems with pick up and drop off and received some cute pictures while I was away. Thank you!!”
“Stacey was wonderful with our dog! She watched her for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. Stacey kept us updated at least once a day and sent lots of pictures of them enjoying different activities together. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. We really appreciated the communication and care she provided, and we would definitely use Stacey again!”
“Our dog Archer had a wonderful weekend with Sharon. Sharon provides many pictures during your time away and she focuses on helping your dog feel comfortable. She is definitely is an experienced dog owner and it shows. Sharon does a great job!”
“I can not believe our luck in finding Suzanne. She treats my pup like family. It's so great that she has children for my Buddy to play with. She goes above and beyond to understand your pet's needs and does everything she can to make their time away from home as comfortable as possible. She even took into account how Buddy likes to sleep, with me, of course. My only fear when I leave him with her and her family is that he won't want to come home.”
“We could not be more thrilled with Jeremy and Lauren! After the "pet resort" we were planning to board our sweet girl Lexie at turned out to be more kennel than resort, we reached out to Jeremy and Lauren about watching Lexie over the Thanksgiving holiday. They were very amenable to us coming by before booking to see how Lexie would do with their dogs (spoiler alert: she loved them!) and for us to see their space. It was the longest we'd ever left our girl before, and they kindly answered any and every question these nervous pet-parents had. When it came time to drop her off, she was having so much fun in their backyard she didn't notice we were gone. While out of town, Jeremy sent a photo everyday and it was clear that Lexie was having a blast. Which meant we were able to enjoy our vacation WAY MORE than I expected!! My mom was actually picking Lexie up, and arranging that was easy. Lexie came home happy but worn out from playing non-stop during her stay. Can not say enough wonderful things about Jeremy and Lauren. They care for your pets like their own. Will use them again... and again... and again... anytime we need somewhere for Lexie to stay. Our only concern: Lexie will end up liking their house more than ours!!”
“Such a great experience! We have a dog that is a little bit of a handful and Melissa kept us updated and sent pictures all throughout! She knew how to make them feel right at home with no issues at all. They did a fantastic job our dogs were so happy the whole time🤩 We will definitely be using them again!”
“Sonia and Jeff are the best. They have hosted Cookie twice, and she always returns home healthy and happy. Even with a short notice request they have been in the best disposition to take her. We are so grateful with them.”
“Kimberly, Dustin and their son are amazing! They took such great care of our Aussie and I couldn’t recommend them enough. They sent lots of photos, walked, played and snuggled with our dog as if she was their own. They have a Aussie named scout who got along with Lily great and helped get her energy out. They were super accommodating for our early departure and late arrival which we truly appreciated. Again can’t recommend this family enough for watching your dog we will be rebooking them in the near future!”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“She was so great with our three pups. She made sure they got plenty of love and exercise. My middle pup even looked sad to be coming home. Being out of the country and away from them seemed so stressful but Mitzi and her family kept me from worrying about them so I could enjoy my vacation. Will definitely book again for any future needs”
“Scott and Heather are great! They sent me photos and updates multiple times a day and I could always tell my dog was having a blast. They treated her like part of the family and made me feel comfortable leaving her with them. I'll definitely be using them again!”
“Diana and her family are amazing! Always taking such a good care of Bella and always keeping me updated with cute pics! Definitely recommend them to watch your fury baby!!”
“Sayaka took great care of our dog. She provided daily updates, with photos, so we knew the dog was enjoying her stay. I would not hesitate to board with Sayaka again.”

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 Alert 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 Alert.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Alert 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.
