“Cathy took fantastic care of my dog. I was given consistent updates, lots of adorable photos, and she communicated so promptly. I could tell that she treated my dog like he was her own and that helped me to not worry at all during his stay. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy person to watch their dog!”
“Gus had a marvelous time with Adriana and her little companion. Adriana sent us pictures and movies making the separation much easier! We highly recommend Adriana to anybody that wants to leave their dog in a loving environment!”
“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!”
“Paris is an amazing sitter. From the very first interaction Paris made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I knew my baby was going to be well taken care of and loved. Paris sent me daily greetings and pictures of my baby and this just made my day. I would use her again and recommend her 100%.”
About: As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of patience, reliability, and paying close attention to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my own senior dog, so I'm comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications when needed, and giving extra attention to older pets or those with special needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants a calm companion, I'll tailor my care to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I'll treat your furry family member like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I intentionally schedule my days to provide dependable pet care. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or sitting, I make sure every pet receives personalized attention, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love while their owner is away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and keep a close eye on your pet's well-being. I also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with my dog Cooper. She texted everyday sent me pictures and kept me updated on how he was settling in. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Paul is a wonderful dog-sitter. He is so relaxed around our terrier mix; she felt right at home with him, or maybe that she was at the best doggy summer camp ever. His big fenced yard is really a plus! Also, Paul communicated regularly with us which was reassuring. We will happily leave our dog with Paul in the future.”
“Daisy had an amazing stay at Daria’s - she was right at home there! We’re so grateful for the attention and care Daria provided Daisy. I’m pretty sure Daisy misses her already.”
“I truly cannot put into words how amazing Evie and Fritz are as dog sitters. My dog, Bean, absolutely adores them, which was very evident from all the photos they sent of her cuddling with them and playing with them and the other pups at their house. I’m so happy I found them and will be bringing Bean here any time I need a sitter. Thank you, Evie and Fritz!!”
“Mary and Jonathan (and their daughter!) took great care of our dog! We had a lovely meet & greet where they asked thoughtful questions and made me feel reassured when dropping her off. During our dog's stay, we received frequent updates and was clear she was being taken great care of. We'll definitely reach out again for future trips!”
“Kristin took wonderful care of our dog for a week while we were away. Our dog was safe, well cared for, and perhaps most importantly, loved as if we were with her. Kristin treated our dog as one of her own. Thank you Kristin!”
“Naotake and his wife were heaven sent! From the initial meet up to the updates given twice daily, they hit every mark. Our curly was with them for about 5 days. The walked curly every day and let her explore. They stuck to the feeding schedule perfectly and gave curly a lot of love. Then even accommodated me when I needed them to care for her for an extra day. I just mover to NC so it is a blessing to have found them so fast. I will be using them every time I need a sitter for Curly, if they are available.”
“Alejandra was great with our little dog. She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. She is flexible and easy to coordinate with. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Dianne is amazing and just the best when it comes to help taking care of our Toy poodle! She is very attentive and cares for our dog just like it is hers. She makes sure to share daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of comfort and confidence that our dog was in great hands. Thank you Dianne!”
“I always dread having to travel without my dog, but with Bruna I have complete peace of mind that my pup will be loved and very well cared for. Whenever he sees me pick up his travel bag he gets so excited because he knows he’s going for another visit! Bruna is very thorough when it comes to getting a clear picture of your dog’s routines, she is responsive, she sends extremely cute photos, and she has been accommodating to times where I’ve had to shift the pickup time last minute due to a delayed flight. I really don’t think I could ask for much more, thank you Bruna <3”
About: I grew up with a toy poodle and around many dogs and cats. I now have a cat and regularly care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I work from 8–3 and have a second job from 5–9. I’m up early each day for a 1–2 hour run or walk and would love to bring your dog along! I’m also available for potty breaks, playtime, and attention between jobs and after work. I live in a cozy apartment, which is best suited for smaller pets. For larger dogs or pets who are more comfortable at home, I’m happy to provide care in their familiar environment. I’ll always follow your routines and instructions closely, keep pets supervised and safe, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love.
“Desire was wonderful with our dog! She was super nice, flexible, and took such great care of him. She kept us updated and sent us pictures. We would absolutely have Desire stay with him again and highly recommend her!”
“Best sitter ever!!! So caring. Sent photos of my baby while sitting her made me feel so confident and trusting of her. My dog even showed affection toward her right away and made me feel relieved!! Will def book again❤️🥰😘until next time!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blands
Amber was a GREAT sitter for my high energy Aussie. She made sure she was exercised properly at the right times of the day (because of the September heat wave) and Charlie became my dog’s new bestie. My dog didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up! You’ll be in good, safe hands with Amber! 10/10 will be using her again in the future.
Melanie took very good care of our Boys, Mack and Archie. Plenty of love, attention and walks! Great feed back each day. Quite a comfort when we were away! Melanie has two dogs who are very friendly and she only takes two guest dogs, so this worked very well for us…all got along famously! Will book with Melanie again!
Daniel was fantastic! He was incredibly easygoing and accommodating throughout the entire process. It was clear right away that Jack felt comfortable with him, and I had total peace of mind knowing Jack was in good hands. I would recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Nikya was amazing with Chloe! From the beginning, she was very communicative, attentive, and easy to work with. She kept me updated throughout Chloe’s stay, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated that she followed Chloe’s routine and was mindful of her needs and personality. Chloe seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I picked her up, which is always the most important thing for me. I would definitely trust Nikya with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Sara was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, Mara and Daisy. She took such great care of them, made sure all of their medications were given correctly, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her dog Tucker got along so well with both of my girls, and it was clear they had a great time playing together. I could tell Mara and Daisy were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her home. I truly appreciated Sara’s kindness, communication, and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

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 Blands 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 Blands.
<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 Blands 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.
