“Was great accommodated my senior dog. Sent us ample pictures and went above and beyond when they weren't eating by finding ways to help them settle in. They took the request on short notice I recommend Belle.”
“Denise and her family were great in takng care of our cat Shelby. She answered all our questions before dropping her off and expressed totally understanding of Shelby special needs requirements. This was our first time using the Rover service and Denise and family made it a very enjoyable first experience. Would definitely book with her again if needing someone to watch Shelby again!”
“Amazing. I was stressed about leaving my rambunctious Cane Corse while on a trip back to the mainland. I was beyond amazed on how well she was. I received text-pictures and videos of her. The updates set my mind at ease. Natalia was amazing definitely will use her service in the future.”
“Can I give 6 stars? Karen was great to work with. Very communicative and flexible. My dogs stayed for 2 weeks. Karen sent pictures and updates regularly. I loved her setup for the dogs. My dogs love to sit in the yard and watch the world. She's out in the country with horses nearby. I think they spent a lot of time there. Plus she has a special area in her house set aside for the dogs with beds and water. Overall a great experience”
“Marisa was super nice working with us. We had a snow and ice storm the day before we left. She made arrangements for us so we didn’t miss our trip. Coco did well with her.”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”

We are retired and home with our pet guests. We have 5 acres for long walks and a large fenced in back yard. We even have a ramp for pups with issues going up/down stairs to the back yard.

Enjoy walks, play time in the secured/fenced yard. We enjoy time on the porch on nice days barking at the squirrels and having treats. Pet sitting in our home. We have a 14 year old boy, 7 lbs, Spike. We have 5 acres for long walks, stairs and a ramp for pets to get to the fenced back yard area. We are retired and home with our pet guests during their stay.

“Thomas took great care of my dog Molly! He was very flexible with time, sent me updates throughout the week and was very accommodating for Molly, ensuring she was always comfortable. His house and backyard were great for her. I’ll be using Thomas for any dogsitting again!”
“Sarah and Kevin took amazing care of our 2 pups. They have a huge fenced yard for the dogs to roam and play in a beautiful country setting. We really appreciated the photos and communication! 100% highly recommend!!”
“Leah provided so many updates and details that it was as if I hadn’t even left my sweet Daisy behind. Leah & Wes and “the girls” welcomed Daisy with open arms and paws! I’m so glad we found this wonderful family to look after Daisy when we are away. Daisy came home happy and I know when we use Leah & Wes again she will be well taken care of!!”
“Trish was absolutely great with my fur baby! She stay in communication by sending updates and was able to accommodate me when I needed her to watch him last minute for an extra day. Denver loves it with her. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Lacey always comes back happy and tired. When I dropped her off, she was visibly excited to meet Effua and her family. And just like last time, they were incredibly understanding of my travel plans and allowed for a fairly late pick up because my flight back to Nashville had multiple delays. Highly recommend leaving your dogs with Effua!”
“Great experience. My King Charles Cav is a little on the sensitive/particular side. He has come home from some decent boarding places with the GI blues. But not with Anita! He was clearly relaxed and well cared for. He came home cheerful and never missed a beat. Thanks Anita and family for your good care!”
“Our first time leaving our puppy was with Ms. Amanda and her daughter Jessie. They took great care of her, and she was actually sad to come back home. Amanda is very quick to return communication and sent plenty of photos and updates while we were away. I felt comfortable leaving Stella there and will use her again in the future.”
“Janelle is great with Cody. We got daily updates of their walks and adventures. I feel very comfortable with him staying there and plan to use Janelle regularly!”

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 Charlotte 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 Charlotte 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 Charlotte.
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.
You and your Charlotte 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 , 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 .
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 TN 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.
