“My experience with Alicia & Van was amazing! They made Louie & me feel so welcome in their home, much like family. Louie will usually not eat much when I’m away but he was so comfortable that ate all of his food at each meal. Alicia & Van shared many many pictures and kept me informed at all times. When we experienced a delay in getting home due to traffic & weather, they were very understanding and even offered to keep Louie an extra night if needed. A truly wonderful experience and I will surely book with them again!!!”


“Trina is terrific. Our older lab spent a week with her and loved it. She sent us daily pics and notes of how Brooke was doing. She has a fenced in back yard that Brooke loved and her own dog is very sweet and got a long great with our dog. I highly recommend Trina if you're looking for a wonderful dog sitter”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while you’re away I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, exercise, and play. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m happy to introduce them carefully and make sure every pet is comfortable. I can follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and I can crate your dog if needed. Safety, supervision, and making your pet feel at home are always my priorities.

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 Calabash 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 Calabash.
<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 Calabash 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.
