“Kharen looked after our sweet Dani while we took a night out of town. Dani LOVED Kharen and had a great time! She updated us with pictures while we were away too! We will definitely be contacting Kharen again next time we need a sitter!”
“Very easy couple to work with, highly recommend them! They have kept our dog twice. When I dropped him off the second time he seemed happy to be there, & remebered the trail they walked him on. He was well cared for & happy when I picked him up.”
“Addie is a Cairn/Westie mix who hasn't always been sure of how she feels about other pets. Because of that, we went to meet Ryan and her crew before we signed up with her. Addie LOVED her miniature zoo with cats and a dog, some bunnies, and a parrot! She came home from her stay very happy (and exhausted). She'd eaten all her food (which means she wasn't nervous) and Ryan had given her her dental chews and rawhide treats, so she was well and truly cared for. She had a ball! What more can you ask??? Thanks, Ryan - you're the best!”
“Sharon is an absolutely amazingly good person and cares deeply about the pets in her care. Sharon updated us on Cedric throughout the day with videos and photos of him interacting with her and another pet. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her, we knew he was getting exceptional care with Sharon. It’s a great feeling to know you can go away and your pup will be in good hands at “Camp Sharon’s”! Thank you Sharon, we appreciate you.”
“EXCELLENT SERVICE!! Highly recommend Jordan! My fur babies got spoiled by her and her family. Did not stress out about their care while on vacation. Will definitely use her in the future. Thank you again for your help in caring for our babies.”
“Jordan did another amazing job with watching our 10lbs Schnoodle, Finley. We are so happy to have found a safe and happy place for him to stay while we travel. Thank you, Jordan!”
“Being a host on dogvacay myself, I should say that I am very picky when it comes to boarding my own dog. Once I met Connie I felt confident she would give it her all to help Cubbie adapt during his stay. She did that and much more. I can not thank Connie enough for opening her home during the holidays. Connie is definitely a 5 star host! Thank you! Gayle Balliet”
“My dog had the vacation of a lifetime with Debbie. He became friends with her borzoi, Robin. She took good care of my dog and sent pics along the way. I was nervous leaving him because he is an older dog, but there was no need to worry. I would highly recommend 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!”
“Carlina was amazing with our Sugar while we went on vacation. She provided lots of pictures and videos which was very heart warming and appreciated. Her communication is the best. Would recommend over and over again.”
“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Ash!! We were so nervous leaving him for the first time and you immediately alleviated all of our fears! Ash felt right at home and you treated as your own family. Your constant updates and pictures were so thoughtful. Thank you so much!”
“KaLynn took great care of our Lou. She was very easy to communicate with before and during Lou’s stay. She took Lou on a long walk and sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again for future needs.”
“Laura was so wonderful to our Theo. The updates and photos we received from her gave us the piece of mind we needed to be able to relax on our vacation. I don’t think I could have chosen a more loving home for him to be in. We will definitely be rebooking with her again.”
“Kristin was great with our two doggos! They had a great time at her place interacting with other animals. She sent plenty of photos and updates while we were away at our wedding! Will definitely book again when we’re back in the area!”
“Diane is absolutely wonderful! She took the best care of our big boy Cane. She communicates regularly with updates and puts your worrying mind at ease. She made Cane feel so comfortable as it was his first trip away from “Mom & Dad.” Her dog, June is sweet and played beautifully with Cane in the big fenced-in yard. I will definitely schedule Diane in the future for our pet-sitting needs and highly recommend her for yours.”
“Alexandra and her dog, Penny, were great with our dog, Snickers! Snickers finally met his match as far as attitude and backtalk from a dog 😂 Alexandra sent us pictures throughout his stay and was super communicative. We will definitely be using Alexandra again for boarding and maybe even future doggy daycare!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balfour
Michelle and her husband were so wonderful! This was Tadpole's first time staying with a pet service and they really kept our minds at ease along the whole process. Sending pictures and videos and updates, and just generally being great with communication. Knowing he was in a safe, lovely, and loving home made such a difference. We would definitely recommend them to friends.
Kharen did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our 5 month old Labrador. Tango learned how to play with other dogs and make new friends. This was our first time using Rover. We would highly recommend Kharen and will definitely be asking her to take care of Tango 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 Balfour 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 Balfour.
<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 Balfour 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.
