“Cathy was a wonderful sitter! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates and pics, and genuinely connected with our pup. We felt so good knowing our dog was in great hands. Would absolutely book with Cathy again!”
“Emily and William did a wonderful job caring for Bill while we were away! They sent lots of updates, kept him active, and made sure he felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Our experience with Ashley&family taking care of Bruno, was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the moment Bruno arrived, we felt completely at ease. She was truly amazing with him, treating him like her own. He was clearly given tons of love, attention, and exercise during his stay. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and full of great energy, which is the best sign a dog owner can ask for! Finally, we have to emphasize her extreme flexibility regarding our check-out time. Our travel plans had an unexpected delay, and Ashley was incredibly accommodating and understanding, making a potentially stressful situation completely stress-free for us. We are so grateful for her willingness to work with our schedule. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her for Bruno again!”
“Yaryna provided excellent and loving care for my dog! My dog is older and requires a bit of special care, but Yaryna handled all of his needs willingly and capably. Yaryna went above and beyond in communicating how he was doing and sharing pictures. I am sure that he was in the best of hands, and I am so grateful for the high level of care that she provided.”
“Krystene and her family are awesome! My dog Wilbur has stayed with them twice now and we had a great experience both times. Wilbur can have a lot of separation anxiety, so it was amazing to see how comfortable he was with Krystene even after staying with her only once. Would definitely recommend Krystene!”
“Our dog Nethra had a wonderful time at Sharon's house. Sharon was extremely caring and it reflected in the videos that was sent to us since we could see how happy Nethra was. Thanks Sharon!”
“Sarah was great! She welcomed our little guy over Christmas and took great care of him. This was our first time using Rover and we appreciated all the pictures and updates. We'll happily book with her again.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! My rabbit Jeff had the time of his life with Amber and seems rather disappointed now to be back home with us. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Miyu is excellent! I highly recommend. She's kind and consistently expressed care and attention to my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and we look forward to booking her in the future.”
“I always dread having to travel without my dog, but with Bruna I have complete peace of mind that my pup will be loved and very well cared for. Whenever he sees me pick up his travel bag he gets so excited because he knows he’s going for another visit! Bruna is very thorough when it comes to getting a clear picture of your dog’s routines, she is responsive, she sends extremely cute photos, and she has been accommodating to times where I’ve had to shift the pickup time last minute due to a delayed flight. I really don’t think I could ask for much more, thank you Bruna <3”
“Daria did an amazing job taking care of my dog! Lots of pictures and updates and I could tell she really enjoyed having him and he was well taken care of 😊. He'll definitely be excited to go back!”
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!
“Aarti was fantastic and did a wonderful job caring for my senior pup. I got daily updates including pictures, and we were able to easily chat about any questions. She did a great job administering medicines and feeding her fresh food! Great experience, we’ll certainly rebook with her!”
“Andrea is awesome. She sent daily updates and pictures of my dog. She was very patient as my dog has separation anxiety and can be whiny. Bailey came home happy and tired, which is a good thing. Will definitely use Andrea again!”
“Jordan was awesome! She took great care of our puppy over the weekend. She sent cute and thoughtful updates and pics of all the fun things they did together. We picked up a happy and sleepy dog. Would definitely hire Jordan again!”

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.
Naotake and his wife were heaven sent! From the initial meet up to the updates given twice daily, they hit every mark. Our curly was with them for about 5 days. The walked curly every day and let her explore. They stuck to the feeding schedule perfectly and gave curly a lot of love. Then even accommodated me when I needed them to care for her for an extra day. I just mover to NC so it is a blessing to have found them so fast. I will be using them every time I need a sitter for Curly, if they are available.
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!

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, 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.
<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 Chapel Hill sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.

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.
