“Maria is wonderful. She was able to take Cleo in with very short notice and took great care of her. She sent me messages and pictures to show that Cleo was very happy staying with her. I highly recommend her and she will be my first choice for dog sitting in the future.”

“Jordan & Paulette were awesome!! They communicated often, sent me pic updates and Duke looked so happy to be there with Jordan and Paulette’s dogs. It’s very hard to find reliable pet boarding that provides you with a peace of mind but this was truly a great experience. I will definitely be bringing Duke back! Thanks so much!”

“Ludris is a very kind lady who is an excellent pet sitter. When I got out of my car with our dog, Millie, she ran to Ludris' door, then ran inside and was so happy to return home for a short stay. I would highly recommend Ludris to those looking for a good pet sitter. She is amazing.”

“I needed a boarding for a couple of nights for my dog, Kinako, at the very last minute. Jessica and her family were very accommodating to my request. When we had a meet in the evening before, I had a faith and I knew they are the ones! Kinako immediately made herself comfortable at their home. Their dog is sweet and friendly. They made friends with each other right away. While I was away, it was great to see the update picture, and I felt at ease. When I picked Kinako up, I could tell that she had a wonderful time at their lovely home. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Kinako and I are looking forward to the next opportunities.”

“Although this is the first Taylor’s sitting Kiki, I can tell Kiki was happy and comfortable at Taylor’s house and played along with Taylor’s dog, a golden retriever. Taylor’s daily photo and sms update of Kiki’s activities gave my wife and me a peace of mind. We are happy and thankful for Taylor’s care of Kiki. We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I had everything from cats and dogs to rabbits and birds. Today, all of my cats and dogs are rescue pets, and caring for them has taught me the patience, love, and attention every pet deserves. ❤️🐾 NOTE: I do have a Sanford address, but I am actually located near Western Harnett Elementary school off Buffalo Lake rd. I am not in the Sanford area whatsoever. As a retired pet lover, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your furry family members. I follow a daily routine with my own pets, starting at 4:15 a.m. with morning potty breaks and feeding. My dogs are taken out multiple times a day, and all of my pets are accustomed to a regular schedule for meals, playtime, and naps. I will provide the same attentive, reliable care to your pets as I do to my own. 🐾 I have turned my bonus room into a fun and relaxing space for my cats. There are toys, a cat tree, cozy beds for napping, and lots of places to hide and feel secure. A gate at the door keeps my dogs out, allowing the cats to enjoy their playtime and nap time without any interruptions. 🐾💕If your cat or small dog prefers to have their own space, I can simply close the door to help them feel comfortable and secure. The room is very spacious, so your pet will never feel confined or trapped. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment where every pet can relax and feel at home. 🐾💕 Your small dog will always have company and attention, as they will stay with me throughout the day. My dogs are sweet, friendly, and welcoming to new furry friends. They are not aggressive and will not bother or harass your pet, ensuring a safe and stress-free stay. 🐾💕

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 Barbecue 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 Barbecue.

<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 Barbecue 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.
