“I can't say enough good things about Brenton! He took amazing care of my dog while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such loving hands. He sent me updates and videos, kept to my dog's routine, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. My dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got home. I highly recommend Brenton to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible sitter!”
“Allison was awesome communicated the entire trip. Accommodated last minute requests. Was very professional. I will definitely be using her services again :)”
“She is Amazing and will br our go to sitter when she is available to do so we received pictures and videos daily and she spoiled Jazz so much we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home! Definitely a great experience..”
“Nicholas maintained great communication and provided updatesthroughout the day. It was great speaking with him. He has our trust, 100%. I’d definitely recommend him to a friend.”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our Miller while we were on vacation. He got an upset tummy and she went above and beyond to make sure he was okay. Miller seemed to really enjoy his time with Rachel and her dogs! We will def be using her again!”
“Thaissa was wonderful with our two pups! They were so happy (and tired) when I picked them up. Thaissa is very organized and has a beautiful home with a fenced in backyard. She sent daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind that they were happy and well loved while we were gone!”
“Very kind to take a last minute booking and took great care of our dog. They have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs that our dog loved playing with. Would definitely book again if in the area!”
“She took such great care of my baby boy, always sent pictures and videos to let me know he’s doing well! I will absolutely be bringing him back to relax in his new home with his new friends :)”
“Jalece took great care of my puppy while I was away on vacation. She sent pictures and video and answered all of my questions with a smile! I will definitely use her service again!”
“I honestly can’t recommend her enough. She’s been watching my dogs for years, and that alone should tell you everything. She used to care for my pitbull Riley (who has since crossed the rainbow bridge 💔), and now she watches my pitbull Australia and let me be clear, I do not trust just anyone with my pitty. She’s the only person I feel completely at ease leaving her with. She sends frequent updates, which I absolutely love, and I never have to wonder how my babies are doing. She’s also cared for my bonus babies, Prince and Abby, and every single one of them just gravitates toward her. Dogs know good people, and it truly shows with her. If she’s not available, honestly, my only other option feels like paying an arm and a leg just for my fur babies to be bored at a vet hospital and nobody wants that. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely amazing with animals, she’s it. ❤️”
“If I can give 10 stars I would! Miss Jerl was amazing! We are blessed to have found her. She took such great care of our baby girl. I would recommend her with my eyes closed. Excellent babysitter. I would bring my Lily to her anytime we need to be away.”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Gunner this past weekend and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated! It was so nice knowing he was in great hands while I was away. Gunner had such a great time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Weller loved staying with Krupa! She cared for him and loved him so much while we were away. I’ve never felt so comfortable with him being in someone’s else’s care as I did with Krupa. I received daily updates and pictures. She also had to last minute administer medications for Weller. She is the best and fully trusted her with my pup.”
“Russell was an exceptional caretaker for my dog Teddy the week I was away. You cannot ask for anyone better. He provided regular updates on Teddy’s health and habits, sent lots of photos, and even provided funny anecdotes about my dog throughout the day. It made me feel both assured and connected to my animal. Thank you so much Russell!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have cared for friends' and family's dogs for up to a week at a time. I'm comfortable with all sizes and energy levels, and I'm patient with shy or high-energy puppies. I can send photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing. I'm a student with a flexible schedule and I'm home most of the day. I'm free for walks, hikes, and regular potty breaks, and happy to bring your dog along on my outings if you're comfortable with it. I live on the first floor of a one-bedroom apartment complex with a gated dog park close by, so potty breaks and off-leash play are easy and safe. I keep dogs on a leash outside the gate, never leave them unattended, and send photo updates. I can also take them to nearby parks if you'd like.

Thank you Christine and Joe! The photo updates throughout the stay provided total peace of mind. It was clear from every photo that he was relaxed, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and genuine attention. Everything regarding his care, routine, and feeding instructions was followed completely. I am so grateful for the exceptional care, patience, and clear communication. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!
Lashonda is a very sweet and caring person. Our dog had the best time! We were not sure our dog wanted to leave upon pickup - she was obviously cared for very well. 😊 I appreciated how LaShonda asked questions about Bella and wanted an idea of her routine during drop off. Will def use her again.
Nancy was amazing! Our dog Dot went from anxious to showing off toys like it was her own house in just a few hours. We could tell she was in a truly loving environment. We don’t take pet care lightly and are already planning our next visit with Nancy to care for Dot again. After such a positive experience we would highly recommend her!
My usual dog sitter wasn’t available, and I needed someone that very day for a last minute trip. Lisa responded immediately, and once I met her I was confident I was leaving Ellie in great hands. She took wonderful care of Ellie on such short notice and was excellent at communicating, sending pictures throughout the stay. Ellie loved playing with Lisa’s dogs and was clearly happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Lisa and will definitely use her again!
I would definitely recommend Collin. I could tell my puppy was well taken care of and loved in my absence. As a first time dog mom I was very nervous to leave my pup and Collin made things easier for me. He gave me updates, sent pictures and helped ease my worries while away. I plan to use Collin again for my upcoming travel arrangements.
Arya is a very attentive, experienced, and caring dog sitter. She took amazing care of my dog, sharing updates throughout the stay and going on lots of walks. My dog can be a bit anxious during stays and Arya quickly made her feel welcome and comfortable in her home. Would very much recommend to anyone looking for pet care.
We are so grateful to have found Brianna, especially on fairly short notice! From the start, she was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and quick to arrange a meet-and-greet, which gave us great peace of mind. Brianna and her husband took such thoughtful, attentive care of Parker. It was clear they truly cared about her comfort and happiness. Her sweet little dogs were a wonderful bonus - Parker absolutely loves being around smaller dogs and had the best time with them! We especially appreciated how attentive Brianna was to Parker’s special needs. She gets anxious during thunderstorms and just needs lots of cuddles, and Brianna was more than happy to give her the extra comfort and reassurance she needed. Overall, Brianna went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and thoughtful dog sitter

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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 NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
