“Vanessa was incredible! It was so nice to feel comfortable leaving Piper knowing she was with someone that really cared for her. Vanessa was so good to send pictures and keep us posted on how she was doing. And in-spite of cancelled flights and not being able to pick her up on time, Vanessa was so willing to work with us! We will be back!!”
“Naotake and his wife, Hitoko, did a fabulous job watching Penny Friday afternoon-Monday morning while I was out of town. I couldn't be happier with the care they provided and never once questioned their competency or intentions. From finding them on Rover to meeting in person and concluding the sit, they had perfect communication. They answered all of my questions (and vice versa), eased my anxieties, and provided a plethora of information about their experiences caring for pets. I met them in person prior to the sit and they were very warm and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed/appreciated getting to know them and building a relationship prior to the sit. They were very sweet, accommodating, and passionate about the work they do. During the sit, the responded promptly to my messages and sent tons of videos/photos of Penny. They also sent multiple daily (morning & night) updates about how she was doing, what they had planned for the day, and any questions they had. Naotake and Hitoko went above and beyond, taking Penny on long walks, to the dog park, and in the car for fun rides around town. Considering that Penny has occasional health issues, can be reactive around other dogs, and is currently being crate trained, I was nervous about being apart and worried she would be burdensome for sitters. Naotake and Hitoko never made me feel this way, going out of their way to make me and Penny feel comfortable, supported, and loved. Penny did great with them, got tons of exercise and stimulation, and even had positive experiences with others dogs at the park (which is rare). I'm so appreciate of them for making my trip stress free and treating Penny like their own. If you're looking for kind, authentic, and transparent sitters, Naotake and Hitoko are for you. They accommodated all of my requests, from making Penny kongs, wiping her paws after walks, and following crating/walking routines to ease her anxiety. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much Naotake and Hitoko, Penny and I are so thankful for you! :)”
“I can’t thank Cherie and her family enough for taking such great care of my dogs. They are very anxious and not always easy, but she showed them so much patience, kindness, and love. Knowing they were with someone so sweet gave me such peace of mind. Highly recommended and will definitely be bringing my boys back!”
“Jordan was awesome! She took great care of our puppy over the weekend. She sent cute and thoughtful updates and pics of all the fun things they did together. We picked up a happy and sleepy dog. Would definitely hire Jordan again!”
“Rosie LOVED her stay with Carol. We received lots of pictures and updates. Carol was so kind and caring!! Rosie loved exploring her giant backyard. It was like a doggy vacation.”
“Miyu is excellent! I highly recommend. She's kind and consistently expressed care and attention to my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and we look forward to booking her in the future.”
“Katrin is so good with my anxious Wes. She’s super communicative with me, always sending pics & vids. She even added in an extra day of care when my flight got delayed.”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
“Even though my booking was so last minute, Bruna was able to accommodate me and my Koa. Bruna was responsive and kept in touch with me regarding Koa. I really felt at ease knowing my pup was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Bruna to anyone who would want their pet to be well taken care of!”
“She took great care of my babies, it was a last minute booking and she was happy to take them for a long stay. One of my dogs had a bug bite that got infected and she took care of it, updated me on the healing and even offered to take him to the vet. Dogs were very happy and cared for!”
“Camila and Lino took great care of our Chihuahua, Xia! They sent us lots of pictures and updates along the way and were responsive with any questions. Xia had a good socialization experience with other chill dogs that were there at the same time but they also took care to give her the extra special lap time she needed. They also have a nice big backyard for the pups to play in. Will book again!”
“Yaryna and her family took such great care of my dog, Sky, while I was at a wedding. I could tell Sky had such a good time when I picked him up. Sky’s already looking forward to the next time he can stay there!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blackwood
Fritz and Evie were absolutely wonderful with Layla! They treated her as their own, provided constant and consistent updates with pictures, and made sure she was as comfortable as possible. I even received a picture with a note on the back at the end of her stay. I enthusiastically recommend Fritz and Evie to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Phoebe was such a sweet and caring host for my 3 year old dog! It was my first experience with Rover and having him board and I felt completely at ease because of Phoebe’s responsiveness. You can tell she loves dogs and took time to make our dog feel at home. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!
Serina provided the companionship my dogs needed in a relaxed and happy environment. I had to leave town with just a few days notice and needed care for my two dogs. She is a very caring person and it is evident she has a deep understanding of dogs and how they communicate with each other. Her dog Oreo is a sweetheart too! Serina kept me updated with photos of my dogs and I was able to focus on my travels because my dogs were in safe and caring hands.

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 Blackwood home-away-from-home, 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 Blackwood.
<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 Blackwood 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 , 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 .
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.
