Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
“Jayda was great with our little girl! She was so happy when we picked her up. I appreciate her responsiveness and attention to detail. I was also grateful for all the pictures and video that she sent us during the stay. It really put me at ease since it was our first time using Rover. We will definitely come back again.”

Will book again ! Thank you Sierra !”

About: I've been the go to dog sitter for friends and family since I was a kid, and I've spent a lot of my years volunteering at various shelters and rescues, as well as fostering puppies before moving to NC. That's actually how Penny came to be part of the family. Penny is now going on 7 and became the only dog at home last year when we laid our sweet Porsche to rest at 17. I've thought about getting a second dog to keep her company, but Rover felt like a great opportunity for Penny to make new dog friends without bringing another dog into the mix full time. Working from home, Penny & I have a pretty mellow lifestyle that involves a good amount of soaking up the sun in our fenced back yard or relaxing in the house. Being there will never be any long stretches the dogs would be unattended, I'm able to care for puppies all the way up to our senior four legged furbabies. Penny & I are not big adventurers, but do take regular walks on local trails and play a good game of tug o war and fetch out back. Your dog will be well cared for and have a relaxing stay that includes lots of love and attention. In this house dogs are family. We always prefer a meet and greet to ensure everyone is comfortable before booking. Every dog is different, so message me anytime to chat about what your pup needs. There's no rigid schedule in our home. Dogs are free to roam the house and set their own pace, whether that's napping, playing, or just hanging out with Penny and I. I'm happy to match whatever feeding routine your dog is used to. Potty breaks and yard time happen regularly throughout the day, and I can accommodate walks or specific routines your dog needs, though we mostly stick close to home unless you'd like something different arranged. I'll send photo updates throughout their stay to ensure you know your pup is safe sound and having a good time. Since I work from home, I'm around to keep an eye on things and adjust to whatever rhythm your dog is comfortable with. Our backyard is fully fenced, giving dogs plenty of room to play safely outside. For quick errands, I use a crate or a separate room to keep dogs settled while I'm out, especially while your dog and Penny are still getting to know each other. A crate is also available if your dog needs one for sleep, or feel free to bring your own. Dogs are always fed separately, so let me know about any allergies, dietary needs, or treat preferences ahead of time. I love doing a meet and greet before booking, so we can make sure it's a good fit before their stay. Our home is calm and quiet, which helps dogs settle in and feel comfortable quickly.
“Jessie and her family were amazing with Maggie! We received daily updates and pictures of their walks, cuddles, and playtimes. They welcomed Maggie as one of their family! We will definitely use Jessie again.”
“Christal was quick to respond and very communicative while my pup was with her family! Lots of love and cuddles were given and my pup came home tired and happy! I hope we can board with Christal again!”
“Words and gratitude cannot express my support and love for Carol. We just met Carol and her husband and her daughter. At first sight, Marley was in love with them. At our meeting greet, there was a piece of calmness, kindness, love the filled their home. Each and every picture that I received Marley was smiling and I saw how much love through those pictures. Carol was sharing with him. She deserves 1 billion stars and she is a rockstar with caring for Marley my puppy. She is just an amazing Pet Sitter. She has a beautiful spirit and a beautiful heart too and her family is so delightful and so amazing and loving too. I highly recommend Carol and her family!”
“Michael was very easy to schedule with. I am so happy he was available for a last minute trip. I particularly wanted him to watch my pup as he works from home (as I do) which allowed Libbie to feel love and attention at all times. Yes, we all like to spoil our pups!! I have already scheduled my next trip with him as I know she will be well taken care of, exercise is awesome with her own playmate. When I picked her up she was happy and well cared for.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Concord
Pip had a wonderful week with Itzel. I was very happy with the amount of daily updates I received during his stay with her, along with the pictures and videos of him having so much fun. He was more well-behaved once we got home and I know this was because of her working with him during his stay. I will definitely book Itzel again for future trips and highly recommend her for your pets' needs too!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Concord 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 Concord 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 Concord.
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 Concord. On Rover:
- 88% 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 Concord 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 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.
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.
