About: I've always been an animal lover and grew up with 5 cats. I'd visit my grandparents farm over the summer and fell in love with the bunnies. But my biggest love is dogs. I've cared for my high energy dog for the past 13 years and am patient with shy and skittish dogs and love going for walks with furry friends in all weather. I'm an avid hiker and runner (just did a marathon in June) and can keep your high energy dog busy. I'm a former lawyer, reliable and professional. I'm generally available in the daytime and early afternoon, but happy to accommodate existing clients going out of town. I'm experienced with different breed dogs from beagles to Golden retrievers. I've taken training classes with my dog and understand some practical tips for getting dogs to feel comfortable and safe. Also, I have experience administering medications to dogs.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I also worked in a dog kennel in college. Love being around animals as much as I can! I work a full time job so I primarily would have more time on weekends but I can make mid day trips home for potty breaks! I let animals roam around my home so they can feel comfortable. I have a large dog bed and food bowls already here along with a few toys and treats!
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Julie! She is extremely responsible, always reliable, and loves my dog like one of her own. This is the first time we did an in-home stay for our large, goofy lab. The peace of mind we have knowing he is so well taken care of is invaluable. I highly recommend Julie.”
“Wonderful experience for Molly! April is a loving caretaker. She truly loves animals and Molly had a great time romping with her pets. I would definitely use her services again. 🩷”
“This was our second time using Robin, and she is truly fantastic! She previously took wonderful care of another pet of ours, so we already knew we were leaving our pup in the absolute best hands. From start to finish, she was a great communicator—always quick to reply, clear, and incredibly easy to coordinate with. She is also amazing with updates; we received regular photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind and let us see just how much fun was being had. Their setup is absolutely perfect. They have a great fenced-in yard that offers plenty of secure space to run around. Plus, their own small, friendly, and playful dog, Winston, was the perfect host. He is so sweet and playful, making the stay feel like a fun puppy vacation. We love having a trusted, reliable go-to sitter and will absolutely continue booking with her.”
About: Hi, I am a compassionate and dependable recent retiree. My two senior dogs passed away in the past 6 months and I am without any fur-babies for the first time in decades. I am honored to spend quality time with your loved one so you can have a worry-free vacation and I can have some doggy/kitty time! I am newly retired and have plenty of free time. I do have some community activities but I spend most of my time working on projects at home. So your pup will have company pretty much all day whether you are boarding with me or I am housesitting for you. I am a very active senior and have a daily exercise and yoga routine and my home is a healthy and veg-friendly household. I'll gladly walk your dog to the level he/she is used to (if it's hot I will walk early morning and/or evenings). My intention is to have your baby feel loved and safe with lots of attention and play and by sticking to the routine as you dictate. I am very tidy/neat and respectful of your home. I'm happy to water your plants etc. If boarding in my home, my husb and I Iive in a house with a big fenced in yard so there is plenty of room for your pup to do his or her business and run around and chase a toy. The neighborhood is very walkable and dog-friendly. I can also take your dog in the car to favorite walks (with your permission). I request that your dog is 100% house-trained and has good social skills/manners as well as being comfortable with having their own bed to sleep in.
“Sonya Lyn was fantastic with Daisy. I will definitely be calling her the next time I need someone to care for my dog. She's very bubbly and you can tell how much she loves dogs. She's comfortable caring for them and knows how to accommodate each unique personality. She took Daisy on long trail walks that she loved! Sonya Lyn sends great photos too, so you can be sure your pup is doing well and in good care. Thank you Sonya Lyn!”
About: Hello! I‘m Rachel, by day I’m the Packaging Quality Specialist at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co, but by morning and night I’m taking care of your pets! I have two dogs and two cats at home, and I have helped tend to the river otters, raptors, and amphibians at the WNC Nature Center, so if you have it as a pet, chances are I can tend to it. I feel comfortable administering medication, and am more than happy to prepare special meals for animals with specific diets. I go the extra mile for any animal in need, and will ensure that you are comfortable leaving your furry (or scaly) companion under my watch! I work Monday-Friday, 2:00pm-10:30pm, and I’m able to walk and feed your animal before work, and after I get off as they need! If you live within five miles of Sierra Nevada I can pop over in the middle of the day as well. I have a big fenced in backyard and two well behaved female pups and a female cat to keep your pup entertained while I’m at work. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and if they prefer to sleep in the bed, they’re welcome to fight for space with my zoo as well!
“I just boarded my dog for over 2 weeks with Rayana and I am extremely happy with her care. She has a nice backyard for the dogs to play together and plenty of toys. The dogs get a lot of loving attention. I received pictures and updates daily which was wonderful! Rayana has a lot of experience with taking care of dogs, pays attention to their personalities and sets boundaries if needed. My dog had a great time there, couldn’t be any happier with Rayana’s place!!”
“Willow loved her stay with Daniella. We will definitely use her again. She sent pictures that made me feel we didn’t need to worry about Willow while we were gone. A real relief about having to leave her.”
“My 2 little papillons came home from an overnight stint with Deborah so happy and healthy. Deborah will be my go-to sitter from now on. She stayed in touch and I felt confident knowing they were in good hands. This was an xlnt experience in every way.”
“Lacie cares for your pet or furry family member as if they are her own. While our pup was with he, we knew he was loved, adored, and cared for with compassion and love. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our dog to stay than with Lacie! We love her!”
“Birdie had such a great stay with Soraya and will definitely be back the next time I need doggy care! Her home and back yard are well taken care of and secure! She treated Birdie like her own and provided regular pupdates!”
“Our elderly dog had such an incredible stay with Autumn and her husband. Their family is incredibly kind and I'm confident our dog is well loved while we are away. Super easy to communicate with. Very flexible for pick-ups. Couldn't recommend more. We have another stay coming up soon.”
About: I have volunteered at a dog shelter for the past year, have dog sat several different types of dogs all shapes and sizes and have a sweet little dog of my own:) I love to take walks but my dog does not last long so I am looking for some buddies that can walk for a while. Exercise for both of us! I would love the chance to hangout with your dog but not making an promises that I won’t get attached. I hope to make pet owners feel safe and comfortable leaving me with their pets while they enjoy a vacation or complete some necessary travel. I want their minds to be at ease, knowing that the pet and I are having lots of fun!
“We only had our senior foster to adopt pup for a week and found ourselves scrambling to find a pet sitter in the last minute. Fortunately, I stumbled on Rover and miraculously found Ryan. Ryan had us visit before booking to make sure everything would be a good fit. My daughter and I fell in love with Ryan, her animals, and her home. Buddy(dog) immediately took to Ryan and spent most of the time snuggling next to her. Since we only had Buddy for a week, we all knew there may be some behavior issues that surface. Ryan stayed in direct communication with me, letting me know how he was doing and giving me pointers on how to handle some of his behavior issues. I highly recommend Ryan!!!!”

Great experience with Fernanda. She was very responsive leading up to the visit. Excellent location for having our two cocker spaniels visit. Nice neighborhood. Nice house with fully fenced yard. Fernanda has a very sweet Vizsla. Our guys very quickly were playing with dog. Visit went well.
Our dog Buddy was very comfortable with Jen and he can be nervous with some people. She gave him his medications, kept us informed of how he was doing and included photos with her texts. We will definitely want to use Jen the next time we leave town. Thanks again Jen!
Jen was a great host to our pup, Rocky! She kept us updated with how he was doing each day as well as sent daily pictures. I would definitely recommend Jen as a host: great communication, positive attitude, flexible schedule (ended up having to add an extra day) and reasonable prices. You won't be disappointed!
This was Blu’s second time staying with Jacqueline so I already knew he was in great hands. He was excited to arrive at her home. I got photos and updates and could easily tell that he was being loved. Jacqueline is great with communication and was so accommodating when my flight was repeatedly delayed. I highly recommend!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
