“Gregg took great care of our 4-year-old Lab mix who is a high-energy handful at times. We're grateful for the holiday trip we were able to take and the new canine friends our dog made.”
“Agus is extremely kind and even allowed my puppy to stay an extra night when I had an emergency. He is super flexible, easy to work with, and a very nice person! Rue always comes home so happy and tired from all the playing with Harry Potter!! Thank you so much Agus— your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!”
“Our puppy Clove stayed with Megan for a week. Throughout her stay, we received great photos of Clove and all the fun she was having! It looked like she was at summer camp, making great friends with the other dogs. Megan accommodated an early drop off time so we didn’t have to worry about catching our flight. We were so thankful Megan provided a safe and caring environment for Clove while we were away.”
“I was worried about leaving Penny because she is very clingy, but she was fine! Vanessa took great care of her, and even allowed Penny to sleep with her. I’m not sure Penny wanted to come home. We will definitely leave Penny with Vanessa again.”
“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!!”
About: Hello! I've pet sat for multiple years now and would love to help you out! From new born puppies to elderly dogs I've done it all. Dogs, cats, chickens, and even bearded dragons, I gotchu! I'm a student at UNC Chapel Hill and can handle any needs and wants to need from me! Hope to sit for you very soon! I am available in the morning before class that begins around 10am and all the time afterwards around 1:30pm. On weekends I am available all day! I am fully able to complete anything the owner needs from me! Walks, medication, play time, staying over some nights, I'm your girl! I can usually stay for some hours each time I need to drop by and of course spend nights if needed!
“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”
“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!!”
“Zella looked like she was having a good time at Denise's! I am always nervous a new environment and fur friend might stress her out but the videos/pictures from Denise showed me a happy healthy time with new pal Grover :) would recommend!”
“I’ve never boarded any of my dogs at someone’s home before so I was really anxious. Crystal had wonderful reviews so I left my 5 month old puppy with her for the weekend. It was a great experience. She is a kind and warm person. She sent pictures and video of Odie and responded quickly when I asked her how he was doing. He came home healthy and happy which makes me very happy.”
“Emily and William took great care of Mia. She had regular walks, playtime and photos shared. When our trip got delayed , they gladly extended her stay. We would definitely have them take care of Mia during our future trips”
“In all my years of moving around and needing to trust a new Rover city in each town, Ashley and her family were hands down THE BEST, most compassionate and caring I have come across. We are returning upon every chance we can!!!”
About: I have been around and grown up with all different animals my whole life! Even though I have been taking care of animals my whole life, I started overnight stays 5 years ago during my freshman year of college. I am comfortable with animals of all kinds and will do whatever they need to feel comfortable. I have experience giving different medications and following specific routines. I have two crazy German shorthaired pointers back at home and they are super high maintenance so I am used to it all! I completely understand that animals are family members and I am sure to do whatever possible to treat them the same way you would to be sure both them and you can stay stress free! I am currently a physical therapy student at UNC, so I do have classes during the day. However, if possible I will be sure to stop by in between classes and spend the rest of my free time with the animals. My best availability is from Friday night through Sunday night, but can still be there throughout the week just with less total hours spent at the house. I will be sure to follow whatever routine your animal and you are most comfortable with! Whatever is needed I can get done. I also keep things clean and will be sure to leave your house cleaner than when you left it!
“Ashleigh and Jason were amazing! My sweet Izzy was taken into their home like a member of their own family. It was her first stay with them and they made me feel at ease providing updates and sending pictures regularly. When I picked her up I could tell immediately that she was happy and so well loved and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Ashleigh and Jason, Izzy will be back with them in July for our next vacation!”
“Our puppies had a great time with Africa! We’ve never left our dogs for this long (almost 2 weeks) but we knew they were in good hands. She communicated with us daily and wore them out with activity. We will definitely ask her to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you Africa!!!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using this service and I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with Ashlee, she sent me great pictures and her services was 10/10. I will definitely be using her again and referring others.”
“Joe and Hitoko took care of our Lady Lou for more than a week, and she had the best time with them. I’m so thankful! My girl is usually very nervous and slow to warm up to people—sometimes she even gets stressed at home with us. But Joe made her feel safe, loved, and cared for. As an overprotective dog mom, getting regular updates, photos, and videos was such a comfort. It honestly felt like a family member was looking after her. They’re the best pet sitters—thank you so much!”

Heather put our mind at ease immediately. She took wonderful and loving care of our senior, special needs pup. She sent several photos and updates and when we picked our boy up, it was obvious that he was comfortable and happy. Will definitely book again.
Patrick did an amazing job watching after our dog Manju. He was super responsive coordinating everything, including drop off and pick up. He also sent lots of pictures which we loved. We felt Manju was well cared for and got lots of attention. Patrick did such a great job, and we've already rebooked him for another trip next month.
This is the second time Megan has cared for my dog during my international trips, and I couldn't be happier. I'm always happy to receive the photos she shared, and it's wonderful to see that my dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable boarding home!
Camille did a great job with our dog. Our dog had frequent walks and playtime. Fortunately for our dog, Camille's niece was also in town and she loved to play fetch and generally play with our dog as well. Camille was very attentive, took plenty of videos and pictures to send to me, communicated well, and was also flexible. Will ask her to help again when needed.
Veronica has been an exceptional dog sitter for our sweet dog Pallino. She sent us daily updates and proved to be attentive to his needs of nice daily walks as well as snuggles... Our dog also had a minor health issue, which Veronica addressed quickly and thoroughly, including her communication with us. During our vacation we felt at ease knowing that Veronica was with our dog throughout the day and he was always well taken care of. We also had a flight cancellation and asked her for a very last minute extension, which she graciously agreed. Thanks Veronica for being such a caring and responsible sitter for our dog!
Emily and Lamar were amazing! They took great care of our little guy and he has an absolute blast. They kept us informed and updated the entire stay with pictures and messages. We really appreciate them and can’t wait to book with them in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone!

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.
96% of sitters in Carrboro 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 Carrboro 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 Carrboro.
<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 Carrboro 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.
