“One of the best sitters we've had! Our pup was happy, cared for, and even had a best bud to play with, one of their kids. Their dogs were also easy going and played well with our pup. Very responsible sitter! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“We left our dog with William for five nights while we were out of town. We got updates with pictures each day and I feel that William took great care of her. I will definitely use William again.”
“Tyler was awesome. He has a great place and I could tell my dog would be well taken care of. My puppy greeted him like a long lost owner, I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to come back home with me. Lol. I was given photos and updates and I honestly just did not worry one bit the entire time Tyler had my pup. I am relieved that there is a trusted person to leave my pup with in the future should I need a dog sitter again.”
“Ms Sandy was so great with our senior dog, Vixen! I never worried about her and Sandy sent several pictures of her happy! Ms Sandy also was great with some of the senior dog issues Vixen sometimes has. Overall I felt extremely at ease with Vixen staying there and would definitely have her watch our dog again!”
“Your pet couldn't be in better hands!!! Will 100% book with Linda again. She treated our dog like her own. We had ZERO worries about Mollie during our trip. One million percent recommend!”
“Jessica was an amazing sitter! She sent lots of updates and photos and it was obvious our pup had a blast with her and her dogs. We would definitely recommend and would book her again!”
“Our dogs were obviously happy and well taken care of, He kept us updated and consistently responded to questions even while going through a medical emergency. Could not ask for better care, and will not hesitate to use his services again. Thank you so much!”
“Justyna was so great. We will 100% use her again. I received so many pictures/videos and updates of my sweet pup. She was such a happy girl there. I could tell she was given so much attention and cuddles. I can’t say enough great things about her and family.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands on animal care experience and the amount of love I put into every pet I care for! 🐾 I have experience working in animal welfare and veterinary care, fostering animals, bottle-feeding babies, administering medications, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. From energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who need a little extra TLC, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to what each animal needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I focus on keeping their routines consistent, making them feel safe and comfortable, and keeping you updated while you’re away. As a pet parent myself, I understand that your pets aren’t just animals, they’re family! ❤️ Animals are already a huge part of my everyday life! Between caring for my own pets, my experience in animal welfare, and pet sitting, taking care of animals is something that comes naturally to me. I plan my schedule around my responsibilities to make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, love, exercise, and care. I’m big on keeping pets on their normal routines as much as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s instructions. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pets on their normal routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and plenty of affection. I also make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment and send updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away! When caring for pets in my own home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and supervision while making sure introductions and interactions are handled appropriately. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities, cats, puppies, senior pets, and animals who need a little extra patience or medical care. My goal is always to make your pets feel loved, safe, and right at home! 🐾❤️
“We are so happy we picked Karl to look after Atlas while we were gone. Atlas has really bad separation anxiety. This is the first time we picked him up after a 10 day stay and he still has his weight from before the drop off. Karl does amazing with the dogs and he has a way of understanding their needs and helping them all enjoy their time. 10/10 will definitely let him look after Atlas again!!”
“WOW! Pleased doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about our experience with Brittany. Our sweet Willow was treated like a queen all weekend! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a great review of their weekend together upon pick-up. Willow loves all the attention she got, and I loved the peace of mind I had knowing she was in GREAT hands! If you’re looking for an above and beyond sitter - choose Brittany.”
About: Raised in a small-town, country setting, I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. My past-times were spent caring for our farm cats, rabbits, chickens and ducks. In our home, I cared for an array of small animals such as reptiles, fish, hamsters, and of course the family dog and cat. I was a Dog Mom to an adopted Chihuahua for 10 years. I'm familiar with classic quirky Chi attitudes as well as separation anxiety. 🌈 I'm currently a dog Mom to a 4-year-old, 11lb, Chi-Terrier-Pekingese mix, named Sam. He's a friendly, playful, and goofy pup who loves being social with other k9's. (Doggie playdate anyone)? I fully understand that our fur-babies are a part of the family, and their care is important and specific. I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur-babies as directed whether it be a drop-in potty break, a walkie, or companion visit. I'm also comfortable welcoming your loved one into my home for daycare or overnight care on weekends if they enjoy human and k9 companionship. It's their world, we're just living in it. I am available for drop-in visits and walks nearly every day. I'm available most weekends to offer daycare and overnight care in my home. I am a career nanny and care for children in their home part-time on weekdays. I enjoy fitting pet care in around my childcare hours. I am dependable, trustworthy and caring. I will follow your instructions as outlined and care for your fur babies like I do my own. I'm comfortable administrating medications or supplements I'm familiar with. I live in a one level ranch home. My husband and I will be installing a fence in our backyard soon! Your fur-baby will free roam in my home, is allowed on furniture and will be spoiled with treats and snuggles if allowed. Our dog, Sam, enjoys playing and interacting with other dogs.
“Say was amazing with my dog. She was very communicative. She sent me pictures and gave me updates. Very reassuring. She truly loved on my dog as if he was hers. I would 10/10 Recommend and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Kaitlin is a wonderful fur baby carer. She stepped & helped us in a last minute need we had. She had us over for a meet & greet so our pup could get used to her new surroundings. Our little girl ran back in the next day & was very relaxed there. Kaitlin sent photos & updates to make us at ease. She even had roommates who loved on her. I’d highly recommend Kaitlin.”
“Dawn was absolutely AMAZING. You can tell she is very passionate about what she does. She sends you so many pictures of your pet so you know they are doing great and we REALLY appreciate that. If you ever want someone to watch your pet let it be her! we will 100% be having our dog come back here!”
“Katherine is a very caring and understanding sitter. She insures that all of the needs are met for my fur baby. She goes the extra mile to make your pet feel at home! I highly recommend!”
“Joann was amazing for my two dogs! She was welcoming at the meet and greet, and accommodated both dogs during their stay. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely be reaching out again!”

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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 KY 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.
