“Polina took good care of Goldie and provided timely updates and pics. She even went an extra mile to buy him food from the store when we were out. Goldie seems happy and didn't even want to leave the house. Very happy that we found her.”
“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!”

She was very communicative and upfront throughout the stay, and we really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was. Our dog had a great time and especially enjoyed playing with Evelyn’s kids. Evelyn also told us what a wonderful dog she was, which was so sweet to hear! We would definitely recommend Evelyn and would happily have her watch our dog again.”

“We recently rescued a four year old foxhound who has been quite nervous and skittish. We were reluctant at first to use Rover for the first time, but are so glad we did and especially with David and Stephanie! They took fantastic care of Rooster and gave daily updates on how he was doing with other dogs and the new environment, and we loved seeing pictures of him with the other dogs and snuggling on the couch! He had a couple of accidents in their home and we are so thankful that they were gracious and kind, would absolutely recommend a stay with them!!”
About: Hi, I’m Susanne! 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, we had all kinds of pets – guinea pigs, mice, hamsters and rabbits – and my mom had a big wolfdog mix named Sam. Later, back in Germany, we had our own small cat breeding program, so caring for animals and getting to know their different personalities and needs has been part of my everyday life for many years. Dogs have always been around us too. Many of our friends and family members have dogs, and over the years we've often helped each other out with dog sitting, walks and overnight stays. Today, we share our home with our Golden Retriever Molly and our two older kids, who are already in their tween and teen years and have grown up around animals. We're an active family and love spending time outside, so walks and fresh air are a natural part of our everyday life. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's usual routine as much as possible – whether that means longer walks, a quieter day, playtime, cuddle time or simply relaxing at home. When your dog stays with me, I'll be the one personally taking care of them throughout their entire stay. From feeding and walks to playtime, supervision, and daily routines, all pet care is handled exclusively by me. My husband Michael works from home and is often around, and our two older kids are very used to being around animals. However, neither my husband nor our children assist with caring for our guest dogs. I'm the sole caregiver, and I love being able to give each dog my personal attention, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. ❤️ Dogs are welcome to relax freely in our home, curl up on their own bed or sleep in their crate if that's what they're used to and feel most comfortable with. Before a first stay, I always like to learn a little about your dog's personality, habits and daily routine. Every dog is different, and I want to make sure it's a good fit and a happy experience for everyone – including our Molly. And of course, you can expect plenty of photos and little updates along the way. I know how nice it is to see that your furry family member is happy and doing well while you're away. ❤️ With wet noses and happy paws, Susanne 🐾 I’m a homemaker and my husband works from home, so someone is almost always around. We have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles and keeping your dog’s usual daily routine. Your dog will be part of our family during their stay. We only host one guest dog at a time and can adjust to their routine, sleeping habits and comfort level. Our Golden Retriever Molly is friendly and used to other dogs.
“So nice and accommodating! I dropped my dog off last minute and he was having a rough first 2 days adjusting on the fly but PeiShan was very helpful with providing updates and taking care of him!”
“Keon did a great job sitting our Cherry, sending us regular photo and video updates. We’re thrilled that Cherry felt right at home and was so happy and cheerful. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely book with him again!”
“Cannelle had another great visit with Michelle and Jose. I loved the updates and photos shared. It was very easy to drop off and pick up and communication was great. Definitely will reach out to them for my upcoming trip in the fall!”
“Our dog, Katya, was well taken care of during her stay with Evan at his farm. She enjoyed running around the farm and playing with the other dogs. She was very happy and relaxed on her return home. Would recommend Evan!”

Maggie and Tommy were available to watch my dog on very short notice and took good care of him for his entire stay. They had fast communication regarding drop off pick up and throughout his stay sending pictures. Would definitely rebook with Maggie and Tommy again.
We had a wonderful experience boarding our dog, Daisy\! Adrienne took great care of her while we were away and gave us peace of mind throughout our trip\. We really appreciate the care and attention she provided\. Thank you for looking after Daisy\! We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again\.
This was our first time boarding our dog with Cherie. We were nervous since we havent boarded our dog for this long. Cherie's profile resonated with what we were looking for in someone to take care of our fur baby. My meet-n-greet with Cherie reinforced this impression. Our dog had a fantastic stay at Cherie's. We received regular updates. He was treated with love and care by Cherie and her family. I highly recommend Cherie for anyone looking for a caring, and attentive sitter for their fur family.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Carpenter 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 Carpenter 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 Carpenter.
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 Carpenter. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 Carpenter 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.
