“Cathy is a real gem, a treasure. Our boy George was in heaven during his stay with her. Her communications were frequent and the pictures were great. I never felt any sense of concern on my vacation about the care of my pet. I highly recommend Cathy but I would like to keep her as a best kept secret because she's so good at that she does. Thank you Cathy!”
“Emily and Will are the world’s greatest pet sitters. I am very new to being a dog mom. They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”
“My pup enjoyed so much his stay with Vanessa, I had the feeling he was sad I took him back home :) I absolutely loved seeing the daily pictures and videos - I knew he was having fun while being well-taken care of. We will be returning.”
“Krystene is an AMAZING sitter. She took care of my anxious puppy, and even helped with his medical treatment. I highly recommend her because your baby will be in very good care with her.”
“Paris did a wonderful job watching my Senior dachshund for a week. It was my pet’s first time staying with someone who she didn’t know. I was really nervous about leaving her but my pet did great. Paris sent pictures and messages every day about what had happened during that day. My pet seemed to settle in well and had a great stay. I definitely will contact Paris again if I need to board my little Doxie again.”
“Sarah was AMAZING with our very particular dog! She was communicative, flexible when we had a flight change, and helped our pup through a scary thunderstorm. Your dog will be very happy to have her!!”
“Aarti and her boyfriend were so lovely. They made me feel very comfortable with leaving my best little buddy with them. I really appreciated them watching Chance and based on the pics I am certain he appreciated his stay as well! Thank you both!”
“Keon was a great sitter! He took care of my dog very nicely! My dog had so much fun playing with the other dogs as well! I could see that my dog was having so much fun and that he was having a great time! ❤️ I am so satisfied, and I will certainly send my dog to board with him again! 😊”
“Hope is just what your little dog needs in a pet sitter. She is thoughtful, detailed, communicative, and a loving caregiver. Since she only accepts small dogs, you know your little one will be in good company.”
“My puppy had so much fun with Greg and Julie! They treated him so well while I was away for a week and sent pictures and updates. I will definitely check with them again if I need someone.”
About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up pet sitting for families in my neighborhood, and that early experience turned into a lifelong passion. Today, I foster dogs and puppies through a local rescue, giving me extensive experience with all ages, temperaments, and training levels. I also have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust completely. Whether your pup needs structured routines, extra patience, or just tons of love and playtime, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and at home. I am currently a full time graduate student with a flexible schedule. I am out of the house for a few hours every morning, but home most afternoons and evenings. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, and walking or playing with a dog is my ideal way to decompress. My house has easy access to the outdoors and is located in a neighborhood with extensive walking paths, making walks and potty breaks easy and convenient. My own dog, Birdie, loves having friends around and will be here to keep your pet company.
“My toy poodle had an amazing time with Anitra! She paid attention to his previous injuries and carefully administered meds as I requested while giving him all the love and attention. She also sent photos and videos each day so I can see how he was doing while I was away.”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Katie took wonderful care of our girl, Darcy, during an extended stay. Katie was easy to communicate with and we received lots of updates and photos. She took Darcy for a fun evening out to meet dogs and people alike at a sports restaurant, and Darcy received lots of love from Katie and her family throughout the week. Katie’s dog, Luna, was very friendly and welcoming. Overall, Katie was very attentive and we could relax on vacation feeling confident that Darcy was well-cared for. We will definitely be re-booking!”
“Yaryna truly cares about your pet! She sends pictures daily and has excellent communication. We’ve trusted her twice now and will continue to in the future. Thank you Yaryna!”
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.
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.
