“Outstanding care for our senior dog Roxie! Martine & Ronald went above & beyond with our fragile girl. We were so lucky to find them. They treated our dog like their own & showered her with attention & affection. Highly recommend for all pet needs! Thank you so much!”
“Our Lily had a great time with Viktoria and her family. I was looking for a Family with kids and Viktoria's family was so sweet with our Lily. There was open communication and was provided an update on how Lily was doing. So glad we found a Family we can trust ☺️”
“Gizmo really enjoyed his brief stay with Murphy and Joseph. We are so glad it worked out. We have been looking for an opportunity to see how he would adjust with a playmate. Not all breeds, like to play with the smaller domineering types …lol gizmo.”
“Brittany was great! My pup Mia seemed to have a blast and fell right asleep after I picked her up. She loved playing at the dog park! Will definitely look to book with Brittany in the future”
“It’s always a good thing when your pup isn’t sure she wants to leave when you arrive to pick her up! Maddie loves Genna! And we do too! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Ashley went over and beyond with taking care of my dog Nina! She sent me photos of Nina and updates daily. She was always quick to respond. Since I can’t drive, she even arranged for Nina to be picked up and dropped off. This is my second time booking with Ashley and I will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much!!”
“Midna had a great time during her eight day stay. This was my first time using Rover and Midna's first time at a sitter so I was a bit nervous but having a meet and greet helped. Karisa was also good with providing updates and letting me know about anything concerning regarding Midna. Overall Midna had a great experience!”
“Makayla took on a last-minute request to watch Rocky because I had a death in the family and she was a rockstar. He really enjoyed being with her and she sent pictures every day. I’ll be using her again.”
“Kelly was fabulous with my two doodles. I had never left them with somebody before and because my oldest dog has sight issues I was very nervous, but Kelly put me at ease immediately. Every day she would send me photos or videos with a little snippet about how things were going. I looked forward to seeing the photos and I could tell that they were having fun running around her yard. It is obvious that Kelly loves dogs and I will definitely use her again.”
“I would highly recommend Christian and his wife for dog sitting and will certainly use them again. Christian kept our dogs during our week long vacation and he kept in constant communication with us and sent photos regularly. Additionally, when our trip was unexpectedly extended by a day, Christian was extremely flexible and accommodated our request. We will definitely use him in the future!”
“Taylor was great and we highly recommend her! She watched our small, energetic dog for 2 nights and sent daily updates/pictures. Her dog got along great with our dog too, so our dog was very entertained the whole trip.”
“Wow~ I cannot ask for any better sitter than Jennifer. She truly has a big heart for dogs. She shared photos and updates regularly. I would definitely ask her to sit our dog again. She is the BEST!”
“Caleria was very accommodating for our last minute booking during the holiday. Louie did well even when other dogs were around. Communication and pictures were sent during the booking. We will absolutely be booking again for vacations.”
“Mariel and Teresa did an exceptional job watching my dog Ruby for an extended stay! While she is not a runner, it was reassuring that they put an AirTag on her in the case she got lost. They were very communicative and sent both pictures and videos regularly to help me feel connected to my pup while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them because you can feel their warmth and love for animals as soon as you meet them. I will certainly reach out again when in need.”
“Matt was a great host!! Kind, and great with our dog. I wasn’t worried a single bit after meeting them. You can tell they care for their pets and others as if they were their own! Will for sure book again!”
About: I genuinely love animals so this isn’t even a job for me, I’m just happy to be able to do it! I’ve been caring for family pets and pet sitting since I was a child. I’m very flexible and understanding. I love all breeds, sizes, young, old, hyper, or calm! I can take them to the park, beach, walks whatever you’d like. I’m here to make them happy and give them the care they need while you are away. I currently work a part time job so I have flexibility. I’m available most days, and have availability the days I’m working my other job as long as it is before/after my shift. I treat animals with the respect and care they deserve. Having animals of my own I know how I want them to be treated and care for others pets as my own.
“Snoopy had fun during his stay. Mary and her kids kept him entertained well. Mary also posted daily updates on how Snoopy was doing. I'm glad I chose Mary for boarding my dog and will definitely book again.”
“Shan Shan was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She only takes one dog at a time, so her attention is always on your dog & her one dog, so they get a lot of personalized attention. She gives regular communication, along with pics & videos, so you know how your dog is doing throughout their stay. I feel very confident & comfortable trusting Shan Shan & I will definitely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter! She took great care of our three cats, while we were traveling. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was kind, reliable, and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We really appreciate her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets. We would definitely book with her again! ❤️🐱
My dog, Daisy, had the best time staying with Rachel! Rachel took Daisy on morning and evening walks. Rachel sent lots of pictures, and we could see that Daisy was very happy and was making herself at home. She was treated like a princess! I highly recommend Rachel. We will definitely book with her again!
We had a great experience with Michelle caring for Frank! She sent several photos every day and was responsive when I asked questions. It was such a comfort knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Frank requires 3x/day feedings, and she accommodated that schedule, coming home to feed him during her lunch break (she does not work from home). She also took him on long walks in the mornings, so I know he was able to get plenty of exercise and, just as importantly, lots of good sniffs in each day! Michelle also has a dog, Diamond, and I'm glad Frank had a friend to hang out with during the day. What meant the most to us was knowing that Frank wasn't simply being looked after, but genuinely cared for. I saw photos of him up on the furniture with Michelle like he was a part of her family. It's not easy leaving a beloved member of our family behind, and Michelle made that so much easier. We're grateful for the kindness and attention she gave him and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter. We'd happily have Frank stay with her again!
This was our second time having Michelle and Jose watch Mia and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! We received frequent updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. Mia was well cared for and given lots of love and attention. We’re so happy with the care they provided and will absolutely continue to use them in the future. Highly recommend!
I was blown away at the care and friendship that Disney & Jesse (& daughters) gave to my dog Goose at his recent stay. As a first time Rover user I was not sure hiw it worked and Diane helped me figure it out. Goose was very happy at their house and loved hanging out with theur dogs and cats. He always looked happy & seemed to fit right in with their household. In the pictures she sent I could see he was smiling. Thank you Rover, duane and Jesse for making my visit so wonderful and stress free.
Griffin was great! This was our first time leaving our 1 year old puppy with someone new. He kept us updated and sent photos. He took extra time on potty walks with her as she was not so used to potty walks. She received tons of snuggles and we felt like she was being well cared for.
5 stars! Anu was amazing with Jake. He had such a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was very caring, attentive, and kept us informed throughout his stay. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would absolutely trust her with Jake again and highly recommend her! 🐶❤️

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
