“Even when it's been months since my little guy has seen Anna, she makes him feel immediately comfortable and loved. That makes me feel better about leaving him. She's super responsive and sends photos/videos while I'm gone. I appreciate having found someone I feel safe leaving my buddy with!”
“Christy was absolutely amazing with Lola. Her babies Kili and Ashi were great playmates to Lola as well. She kept me updated with pictures of Lola during her time there. Definitely will rebook!”
“Grace was extremely prompt and accommodating when I made a very last minute request that my almost 1 year old Golden Retriever stay for the weekend. She sent pictures and I could tell when I picked him up that he was right at home with her dogs. Her home and fenced in yard were very nice and clean. I will definitely rebook.”
“Ash was very happy to see me when I picked her up, which to me meant she had a GREAT time!!!! Lauren and family were wonderful and treated Ash as one of their own!?? I would have loved more pictures and more updates (gone eleven days), but that’s me (missed my baby). And it’s hard to find the “perfect balance” - - keeping owners informed and disturbing their vacation. However, ANY TIME I reached out to Lauren she was quick to reply and many times with pictures. Will use again!”
“Stephanie was a great sitter for SamE! She is quick with her communication, accommodating with her schedule, made sure our dogs were comfortable together, and kept me updated during SamE’s stay. I appreciate the care she provided and have already rebooked her.”
“A very positive experience for us. Marcia kept me updated daily with messages and photos. Katie seemed to be very well taken care of. Would highly recommend Marcia as a pup sitter and will plan to use her again for sure!”
“Trenon was very watchful of my puppy. She made sure she had exercise and playtime. Trenons personality is calm and in control, perfect for my timid dog. It’s my first time leaving my puppy and Trenon sent me so many happy pics while I was gone!”
“Taylor watched our puppy overnight and she did a great job! Our pup has a TON of energy and there’s not many who can keep up with her but our Bailee was really happy and she provided us with photos and updates!”
“Wonderful!! Britteny and her family took great care of our great dane. I know she was treated like family while she was with them. Will definitely use her again to watch our babies!! ❤️”
“Tyra was amazing with our dog Max! She was highly communicative during Max’s stay and sent us pictures of all the fun he was having! I highly recommend Tyra for your pet sitting needs. Max will be returning to have fun again soon!”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Katie did a great job taking care of our senior dog Georgia. Katie is wonderful and caring and its great not having to worry when on vacation. Thank you Katie. Georgia would love to stay with you again this summer.”
“So glad we found a comfortable option for boarding our dogs. It’s so nice to have them in a family environment with other friendly dogs to play with. Mary was very easy to communicate with and sent us pictures while we were on our trip.”
“We had a great experience! They were responsive, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. Our golden pup had a wonderful time. We really appreciated the photo updates without having to ask — it gave us peace of mind.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Altamahaw can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Altamahaw 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 Altamahaw.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Altamahaw. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Altamahaw 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
