“Honestly super impressed and happy with Onelia. She treated our yorkie with so much love and the best care. Our dog needed a medicine administered at the last minute and Onelia was great about it. Attentive, easy to work with, and gave us peace of mind with updates/photos. 🤍”
“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service! Our Mozzie was so well cared for and had so much fun with her other pups I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home 😉 Thank you Kim for loving our boy while we were gone. He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“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”
About: 👋🏼Hi! Thanks for taking the time and swinging by! My husband and I know what it means to find someone you can completely trust to care for your pet(s) and feel at ease knowing that they will be taken care of. We each grew up with dogs and also had different kinds of pets (hamsters, lizards, fish, turtles, cats, dogs, birds) while the kids were growing up. 🐾We offer boarding, daycare and drop-in visits, ensuring your pets get consistent care tailored to their routine. 🏡We live in a house with a secure, fully fenced-in backyard where your dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, explore and do their business. 🐶🐶We are the proud pet (grand)parents of two sweet, 15-year-old sister dogs. Because they are seniors, they cannot hear very well anymore. They are very gentle, and a little shy but friendly. 💖Your pets will find a peaceful, patient, and understanding environment here. Whether your pet is staying at our house or we need to drop by, they will receive attentive care. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! We are both always at home during the daytime. Michael works from home. We usually try and go to the gym early in the mornings. 🌳We have a nice sized well manicured back yard that is fenced in. There is also plenty of room in the house for more dog beds or crates if you need to bring those.
“Thaissa watched our fur baby for five days and she was fantastic! From the moment we had a meet and greet with her, she was so kind, patient and loving with our dog. You can tell she really loves animals. I felt extremely comfortable and happy leaving Mackie in her care. She gave us updates and sent pictures twice a day. I would 500% book her again in the future.”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“Our darling Roo had another great visit with her favorite sitter, Nancy! We are so grateful to have found Nancy, as she provides us with excellent peace of mind when we are away. We can vacation much more comfortably knowing that Roo is enjoying all the same love, time, attention, and snuggles she would get at home with us. Thank you Nancy for always taking such great care of our girl!”
“Bri was amazing! She and her family welcomed my dog with open arms and treated him well. I appreciated Bri's consistent communication and photos throughout his stay and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Deb was amazing! Always sending videos and photos and spoiling Dylan and giving him lots of attention. He loved his stay and her friendly pups! He definitely had a fun filled weekend. I will book Deb again in the future.”
“Though it was strange to have to meet in a business parking lot, Lipika came through for us in a real time of need. Our original arrangements for Prince fell through and Lipika’s availability was a timely and substantial. They provided constant communication on Princes’ activities and wellbeing. I would definitely recommend Lipika to anyone looking for a safe place to care for their dog.”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time with Dawn and Steve. This was her second visit with them and when we dropped her off, she was so excited to see them again. They kept us updated each day with pictures and videos. They even allowed her to take home her favorite toys. Thank you Dawn and Steve for watching our puppy and keeping her safe and comfortable.”
“This was Elite and I’s first time using Rover. We booked a last minute reservation, and our accommodations were met despite the late request. Elite is a very energetic frenchie and needs lots of attention and does not like being alone most times. Ms. Vervica was polite and straight to the point. She answered all of our questions especially since we were new to the platform. Elite was in Ms. Vervica and her daughter Jayda’s care and I could tell he was adored and cuddled nicely. I received short clips daily. She even offered I call on my birthday to speak with my baby. That was very sweet. I may be a helicopter momma because I also wish my videos were a tad bit longer than a few of seconds. Overall I’d give this experience 5/5 stars. Additional feedback for the Rover Team: As a new Rover user, I would recommend allowing animal owners the curtesy in allowing us to see the arranged area our babies will reside while we are away. Obviously not to make the petsitter uncomfortable but to place first timers like myself at ease. In my opinion that would also encourage repeat bookings.”
“Norma is a fantastic dog sitter! She really went above and beyond. She ensured our dog was comfortable, happy, and sent pictures with updates everyday. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“My fur baby was right at home. Aquisha was awesome and made me feel very comfortable with leaving Zeus with her. i didn’t worry about him one bit and she sent me pictures daily.”
“Chevy came home relaxed and happy. That speaks volumes to the level of care, attention and healthy environment that Beth provided. Her love for the pups is obvious. Beth's communications with us were quick and complete. When we cannot take Chevy with us, we are relieved to know that Chevy has a safe place to hang out. Grateful!”
“Bethany provided my girl with the best weekend while we were away. She was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of her and she came back so happy and tired from all the playing. I will definitely be using Bethany every time we need a sitter.”
“Nicholas, Thank you so much for caring for Buddy. I’m so glad you felt he was compatible with you. We really appreciated the pics and seeing he was doing well. It was very reassuring. We would love to have you care for him again sometime. We are really impressed with Rover and how easy it is to use and communicate. Thanks again Nicholas and Rover.”
“Ms. Tyra D. was an excellent dog sitter for Tank and Bunny! She provided a beautiful, spacious yard where my fur babies could play, run around, and soak up the sunshine. She kept them on their regular feeding schedule and showered them with so much love and attention. Bunny especially enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace, while Tank had a wonderful time playing in the yard. The photos she shared showed two happy, relaxed pups, and when I picked them up, they seemed completely comfortable and right at home. It was such a relief knowing they were in a safe, loving environment and being so well cared for. I highly recommend Ms. Tyra D. to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies!”
“Molly had a great time and was taken care of. I will look for Nickie to take care of Molly every time I need to be out of town. It was worry free for me because I knew my Molly was in good hands”

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.
96% of sitters in Bear Poplar 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 Bear Poplar 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 Bear Poplar.
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 Bear Poplar. On Rover:

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 Bear Poplar 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.
