“This was Scribble’s 1st time staying at someone’s house without us. We were nervous. Jessica was amazing with Scribble! She arranged for Scribble to have her own space until Scribble felt comfortable. She provided us with regular updates, pictures, & a video! This was a great experience for Scribble & these nervous fur-baby parents! Highly recommended!!”
“Elaine and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and checking in with us daily. They have a great set up where the dogs can roam free in the house or in the fenced in yard and in the covered patio. It's great that they always have multiple dogs so there is plenty of play time. You can tell they really love animals. My pup will be back the next time we go out of town.”
“Ann and her family took great care of our dog Cooper! He received daily walks and enjoyed his interaction with their dogs. Plenty of pictures were shared with us. Upon returning home Cooper was happy and obviously well looked after. We will be a repeat customer!”
“Mara is very caring, friendly and accountable person. She took care of my pet very well. She posted pictures time to time to show me what my pet is doing that made me feel very comfortable and secure. I would recommend her very strongly to take care of anyone's pet. Thank you Mara for everything and you will be Mimo's caretaker whenever I needed and until you can take care of him:)”

She limits the number of furry friends she takes so they get her full attention, and she sent daily pictures which were fantastic and much appreciated! She made our family vacation completely stress free since we knew our puppy was also enjoying his vacation!!! We will definitely use Katherine in the future when we would need a pet sitter'!”
“Another wonderful stay with Miss Jill! Chewie literally makes himself at home, and loves being spoiled and pampered by Jill! Makes my vacation enjoyable knowing he is happy and safe!”
“Great Rover with amazing fenced in backyard. Treated my girl like she was at home and even put rug runners out so she could easily navigate at the hardwood floors. Ellie was extremely happy! Will be booking again!”
“This was our first time using rover but couldn’t have been more pleased with Teresa! Our dog whiskey is very attached to us and hasn’t been sat by a stranger ever so I knew he would have some separation issues but Teresa was very patient with him and allowed him to settle on his terms. She provided us updates throughout the day which I loved and he was back to his normal self when we brought him back home so I know he had a great time with Teresa and Roxie :)”
“Shelby is an excellent boarding hostess. She is patient and kind and she and her 2 dogs made Shadow feel right at home. She sent photos and is an excellent communicator. We will call Shelby again!”

“Cece is the most amazing dog sitter, and we’re so happy we found her! She was incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and very sweet. Mila seemed so comfortable and happy in her home, and I loved receiving all the updates and pictures while we were away! It was so clear that Mila was getting all the love, attention, and care she deserves while we were on vacation for five days. Knowing she was happy and in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Cece with Mila again. I highly recommend her!”
“Oh my God Jackie sent me pics everyday of my Luna. Luna has been so happy since we dropped her off while we went to Mexico and Luna has never been around other dogs but she meet Woody which they got along perfect. I will recommend her to keep your baby she is so sweet and sweet talking to them, my spirit went toward her and I knew my baby Luna was in good hands.Will use her again back home to be with Luna for Christmas”

“I am very thankful that I found Brenda! She met with me ahead of time so we could do a meet and greet because my German Shepherd Felix had a history of being afraid of other dogs but I could tell they immediately felt at home there. Brenda and her daughter Hannah took such good care my two boys Felix and Carter that Felix had a blast with her dog and even sharing space with the cats. They had so much fun that when they came home, they were exhausted and went to sleep 😆 Brenda gave me updates during the day in text messages with pictures or videos so I knew they were having a great time! I look forward to bringing the boys just for a play day and highly recommend Brenda!”

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.

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.
96% of sitters in Catawba 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 Catawba 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 Catawba.
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 Catawba. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Catawba 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 SC 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.
