“Our pups had a good time with them. They got the care they needed including medication administration and catering to their anxiety. They also offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. They shared lots of photos and regular updates.”

“Morgan and her family cared for our elderly dog so kindly and well for 12 days. Our dog requires daily medication and uses diapers. Morgan was relaxed about all the care needed. She has experience because of all her own animals in the farm. We were able to enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much!”
“Carrie is a wonderful dog sitter, she was happy to schedule a meet and great to make sure our dogs were compatible with hers and she was very accommodating with our anxious rescues needs. She sends updates and plenty of photos while they are there. Highly recommend Carrie and we will definitely use her in the future if we need someone to watch our boys!”

“Stephanie and Matthew were wonderful! They were more than accommodating and patient, especially with our last-minute boarding/petsitting request through Rover. They sent daily updates and pictures of our boys during the 4 days, leaving us always reassured and very comfortable with having left our dogs in their care. Highly recommended!”

“Arleen and her husband John were fantastic! You can tell they are true dog people. They were very warm and welcoming and sent lots of photos / videos to keep us updated on Max. They're our new go to dog sitters moving forward. Thank you both so much again”

“Jane was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Lila and made sure I was updated with the cutest photos, videos and messages the whole time. It was so clear how much she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Lila was in such great hands. I’d book with her again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend Jane enough!”

“Ashely did a fantastic job watching our dog, Tucker. She sent us updates and was very communicative and responsive. I would highly recommend her services to others and will definitely use again in the future.”

“Paisley was very helpful and took very good care of our dogs. She kept us updated on their status with pictures and texts. She was extremely flexible about the drop off and pick up schedule. I would definitely recommend her.!”

“I have a large 11 month old puppy that has never been away from my side for more then a few hours so I was a bit worried about leaving her with anyone. Melany kept me updated on the 4 days I was gone and made sure to send me pictures. She took great care of my lily and we will definitely be using her again. Fenced in yard was good, the communication was good and the care was good. I couldn’t be happier !”

“Megan was great with my 2 boys. She sent me updates and pictures. They settled right in. She worked with me and a few things as well. I would highly recommend and ill def be using her again.”


“I had a last minute trip pop up. Catie responded quick and was great to coordinate with! It was great communication all weekend. Based off of photos and my dog afterwards, I think it’s safe to say she had a great time. She loved on my dog like it was her own. I would highly recommend Catie to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.”
“Marley and Cali LOVED staying with Megan and her family. In fact, they did not want to come home! Marley loved swimming in the pool and chasing balls while Cali enjoyed playing with the kids and bonding with the chicken, Howie. Megan took fantastic care of our dogs and we are thrilled to have found such a wonderful sitter.”

“Meghan was excellent at sending us daily updates and pictures of our girl while we were gone for 9 days! She was very flexible for drop off and pick up times. Toccoa had so much fun playing with her and her boys. She had plenty of outside time in her back yard! It’s assuring to know your pup is being well taken care of and having fun while you’re away from home. We are planning on rebooking with this sweet family.”
“Robin is experienced and trustworthy. We loved the big fenced in back yard and ample inside room for our pups while we were out of town. I was emotional leaving my babies but knew they were in great hands. Photos and videos while we were gone and texting communication was spot on. We will definitely be booking again when needed.”

“Amanda was amazing! We needed to book a sitter last minute and over 4th of July weekend at that and she was so accommodating. Not only was she great at communicating and sending updates, you could tell how happy our pup was during his stay from all the pictures! Will 100% rebook if we travel to Salem again, we had a great experience!”


“You were absolutely amazing! I could see that Daisy was absolutely being taken care of, and in great hands! She was smiling in every picture you sent. Thank you for taking care if her! ❤️”

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.
95% of sitters in Arnold 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 Arnold 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 Arnold.
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 Arnold. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Arnold 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.
