“Melissa did a fantastic job with Chloe. She went above and beyond when my plans changed. Chloe was very well taken care of & we had no trouble resuming our normal schedule as soon as I returned after a 10 day trip. I received updates via text, photos & movies. I will be using her services again : )”
“Jackie was amazing with our pup as always! It is such a relief going on vacation and knowing our pet is in great, loving hands with her. I would highly recommend her and will always use her for my future boarding needs!”
“Sarah and her husband boarded our dog over our dogs 3rd birthday and they spoiled her like crazy and made her day so special, we absolutely love them and were so happy to get pics of all the fun!! We take our dog to them all the time and couldn’t ask for a better sitter (and doggie playmate) for our pup!!”
“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”
“Dayana did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for four days. She sent daily updates with videos. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dog too!”
“Diana & Kevin were great watching our dog Cooper!! Clearly dog savvy people, who understands/respects dogs who tend to be more anxious. Our dog had a great weekend with them, and we would definitely ask for their help again!”
“Graham had a great time at Claudia’s house! She sent us pictures and kept a log of all of his activities for us to see when we picked him up. Graham was certainly well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you Claudia!”
“Destinee was so great with my Annie. She sent loads of pictures and updates. They have all the fixings that your pup would need when spending the night! I’ll definitely be coming back with Annie when I need a sitter. Thanks for taking care of my girl!”
About: With over 10 years of experience in the veterinary field, rest assure that your pet is getting the best care. I worked in a general practice hospital for 5 years then transitioned to an Internal Medicine department where I worked for 5 years. With a special interest in senior dogs.

I will be able to provide one-on-one attention, play time, and multiple bathroom breaks throughout the day. I have a very large fenced in back yard that is safe for your dog to run around in. I have a senior dog who spends most of her day napping. We also have a pet bunny who is kept separate from our visiting dogs. There are two children aged 6 and 8 that live in the home as well.

“I booked with Annie twice now & and she’s been absolutely fantastic both times - my dog actively gets excited when I take him up to her door, which is a great sign. Zero drama, very flexible with pickup/dropoff, good with medication, & her little dog is a super fun ball of playful energy that my dog loved. You can’t go wrong :-)”
“Julie was great she was just excellent. She sent me videos and pictures. She kept me updated on everything that was going on with my dog. I felt very comfortable with her.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chapel Hill
As usual our Wrigley had a great time at Bill and his wife’s home. In fact, Wrigley was so excited coming up their sidewalk because he knew where he was! We got pics and updates to let us know our boy was doing just fine while we were gone. We have used Bill several times and plan to keep doing so!
We were very happy with Heather‘s service! She kept us updated about our dog with texts and pics. Our dog got along fine with Heather‘s dog, and even seemed a little reluctant to leave. We were out of town for six days and felt confident our dog was being well cared for.
I will definitely use Kris again!! It was the first time in a long time that I had left my dog overnight with someone and she made the whole process smooth. She even sent photos which calmed my nerves. She even took him for a walk and allowed us to meet up beforehand to make sure it was a good fit for everyone.
Wendy was absolutely fantastic with our dog! She took such good care of her, playing with her a lot, sending photos, and took her on walks. She’s an energetic dog and can require a lot of activity and Wendy was perfect giving her all of that and more! We are so thankful for her care and her family’s care and will definitely board our dog with her again!
Brittany watched our 11 week old puppy and our 6 year old golden retriever while we were away in Italy. She is absolutely amazing and she kept us updated everyday on how both our boys were doing. We felt so content and good with our boys in her care. She loves our dogs like they are her own and we are soo grateful to have found her 😊

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.
96% of sitters in Chapel Hill 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 Chapel Hill 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 Chapel Hill.
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 Chapel Hill. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 Chapel Hill 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 IN 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.
