“Thanks for last minute booking accommodations! Happier dog than if he was boarded for sure, lol. I know he's a handful, but just a big baby who wants attention. That’s why i love Rover.”
“Beth was well prepared for our dog arrival and took good care of him. She also was very accommodating in drop off and pick up times. I would definitely book with Beth again.”
“Eric was a great dog sitter for Jack! He had excellent communication throughout the entire stay and sent pictures every day, which gave me peace of mind knowing Jack was doing well. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Jack was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I would absolutely book with him again!”
“It’s an awesome feeling to meet someone who you know will take great care of your dog while you are away. I can tell Dorothy Rose really enjoyed her stay. I’ve already booked Dorothy’s next stay with Nelcy.”
“Lawrence and Gabby really put me at ease leaving my pup behind for a week. She is in her adolescent phase which made it difficult for me to leave her with small dogs she doesn't know and Lawrence came through! We did a meet and greet first and everything turned out so awesome! Thanks again Lawrence and Gabby!”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Morgan was a GREAT pet sitter for Jiao and Tucker (golden retrievers). They had a great time playing in the back yard and also cuddling on the couch with her kids. Very nice house ... and since she works with animals professionally, we had no worries they were in great hands.”
“I was so grateful for Samantha and Tim! They kept Remy on such short notice and made my first rover experience absolutely amazing! They sent daily updates that made me feel at ease! Will definitely be using them again!”
“Talia and Austin are the best! They are friendly people that do a great job talking care of our dog. They also provide daily photos and updates without having to be asked. Highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a huge love for animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different breeds and sizes, from Chihuahuas to Dobermans and everything in between. I’m a passionate animal lover and advocate, and I’ve also fostered dogs through rescues. Fostering has given me a special place in my heart for fearful, shy, anxious, and misunderstood dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I believe in giving them patience, kindness, and time to feel safe. As a registered nurse, I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions. I’m also comfortable with bathing and basic grooming needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love being around dogs. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. 🐾❤️ I’m a registered nurse and work 12-hour shifts, typically 2 days per week and every other weekend. On my weekends off, I have 5 days off in a row, which is when I’m available for boarding. My availability is therefore every other week, making me a great fit for families looking for care during weekend getaways, short trips, or extended weekends. I provide a safe, loving, home-based environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for while their families are away. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time and play, and I keep the number of boarding dogs limited so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. As a registered nurse, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and responding appropriately if an unexpected situation arises. I also have experience and knowledge in canine CPR and emergency first aid. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort level before their stay. I have a special soft spot for fearful and anxious dogs and believe patience and a calm environment are essential.
About: I have spent my entire adult life with dogs & love them dearly. My 2 dogs love to play with other dogs as well as each other. I also have an older blind toy poodle who doesn’t play with other animals but is perfectly content staying on my sofa & listening to whatever is going on in the house. Therefore, I’m quite accustomed to care for special needs dogs. All dogs seem to communicate very well with me. I also keep the owners up to date daily with pictures and/or videos as to how much fun their dogs are having. In addition, my son, who is just as crazy about dogs as I am, lives with me so at night, there will be 2 sitters in the house. Therefore, you’ll get 2 sitters for the price of one🤗 I am a retired stay at home widow who loves spending time with dogs. I can devote most my time having dogs in my home to love and care for. Typically, we use some of the afternoon for calming & resting time if/when needed. This is also the time for specific needs & brushing. The doggies can go outside anytime they want to play or do their business. I have a large fenced in back yard specifically for the care & safety of my dogs and the dogs I am caring for in my home. This is a very safe place for the fur babies to spend supervised time in the shade or sun with a large covered veranda with fresh water available at all times. I live on many acres of farm land with very few neighbors. We have no children living near us at all.
About: Hey👋🏾, your pup's new bestie here! A little bit about me. I was born and raised on a farm here in NC, so I've always been outdoorsy. My first dog was a hundred pound German Shepard named Dee Dee. I was 5 years old then and we grew up together. Dogs have been apart of my life ever since. Growing up I was fortunate to have horses, chickens, cows and cats. I still love them all but now my focused is on dogs primarily. I have french bulldogs and a lovely husky mix I rescued named "Dex". I communicate well with animals and I'm good with them. I worked as a Vet tech for several years after high school. I then went on to become a Practice Manager for a Vet Office in Charlotte. I am now working to create my home into the perfect pup resort/paradise. I would love to have new and regular clientele so there is comfort between your dog and I. I don't mind taking your dog to groomers or doctor appointments if needed and I can do pick up and drop off from my home within 15 miles too. I do ask that I am informed of any health issues or behavioral issues up front. Please know that I will treat you and your babies with love and respect. Thats my garauntee! I am a full time dog breeder and currently have no expected litters so I have open availability. I can also board overnight (up to date vaccinations required). I can do drop-ins and walks also. I don't mind taking your 🐶 to their favorite parks. I have a clean acre yard with a fenced playpark on it. I have a heated & A/C Dog Hotel and dogs have their own suite. I own 5 friendly frenchies, for your dog to have friends to play with if you choose. Meal times and medications is at your choosing. Depending on weather determines what activites we do that day. Whatever we do we will have fun.
“Working with Megan was great overall. My dog had her own room and access to the backyard. Stella seem to get along well with Megan and her dogs. I was sent regular updates and lots of photos. I felt very reassured. The seller was getting the best treatment available. Thanks, Megan. Will be back for more.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 303 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cycle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of sitters in Cycle 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 Cycle 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 Cycle.
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 Cycle. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Cycle 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.
