“Brianna was wonderful from start to finish…from our meet up for a meet and greet to when we picked up Ranger today! Brianna sent us updates with pictures and videos and was very responsive during Rangers entire stay! She even kept him longer for us when we had an unfortunate mishap at the end of our vacation. Thank you so much Brianna for caring for our boy - we will definitely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!!”
“Ellie was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about dogs. A good home and yard for dogs. I feel very comfortable about taking Molly there for our next trip. I hope they are available the next time we need card for our elderly dog.”
“Nelcy was an excellent sitter for our lab. She loved on her and cared for her like she was her own. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again!”
“Nina was great! She was very communicative and easy going. Nico seemed to have a great time and definitely got some good exercise! Would definitely let Nina keep Nico again!”
“Victoria has such a beautiful home. She also is a very warm and kind person. Our dog instantly took to her. We scheduled a sleepover so our dog can get to know her and her dog better before our big trip in a few weeks. It was a great experience. We picked up our dog and she was just so happy. When we left our dog at a kennel before this she did not look well when we picked her up. This was a total different experience, she had a lot of fun and was well taken care of. Victoria was great at sending me updates and a video. I think my dog misses her and her dog lol!!! I'm definitely going to feel better when I leave her for a week knowing she's in good hands. Thank you Victoria”
“Heather was amazing! She watched Barley during our wedding weekend, and she sent us lots of photos and updates so we knew we didn’t have to worry about him during an important weekend.”
“Maribel was so flexible with us and treated our anxious pup like he was her own baby! We had to change plans at last minute and she welcomed Charlie with open arms. She was so wonderful with him and we are so appreciative of her!”
“Talia and Austin are the kindest people around and our dog is so well taken care of. Our dog has so much fun while she is at their house and returns exhausted which is all that we can ask for!”
“Paisley was absolutely wonderful! She took the best care of Rocky while I was out of town. Great communication from the booking request to picking up Rocky. She was super flexible and easy to work with. I received daily updates and photos. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Hannah was so awesome and went above and beyond to make our golden doodle happy. We have a tall 60 lb dog and he got to run and play and rest- just what he needed. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
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.
“Natalie was fantastic! Jasper, our 12+ year old Westy , stayed with her for 12 days. She took great care of him ; attending to a problem with his joint issues and was up and down several nights being homesick!! One night she even took him out @230am when he was wining and homesick. With being several thousand miles away she eased our anxiety so we could enjoy our trip!!! Thanks to Natalie , her family and her own Kinley and Regan he truly had a “home away from home”!!! We’ll definitely choose Natalie again!!!”
About: Hello! Jess and Jimmy here. We’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, birds, and all sorts of creatures for over 15+ years. We often foster animals and have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors and chihuahua to huskies. We are very active and one of our favorite activities is counting the cats on our daily dog walks. Jess works from home in the afternoon but has a flexible schedule and her office is only 10 minutes from home if she needs to stop by more often. We make home made treats, frozen enrichments toys, and can provide puzzles, toys, and plenty of enrichment under careful supervisions. Outside, the fenced in backyard is a great place to soak in the sun and get lots of good sniffs. Kip and Carll can’t wait to hang out with their new temporary friends. Jess work’s from home in the afternoons with a flexible schedule. Her office is close by if she needs to stop in. The house also has cameras so she can always check in to make sure the animals are safe. Most mornings start with a potty break, breakfast followed by a walk. Once we’re settled back in pups get an enrichment snack before they settle in for a nap. In the afternoon and evenings we repeat! Potty breaks, walks, toys and dinner, before settling in for the snuggles in the evening. We have a fenced in backyard and 2 very friendly small and medium dogs. Dogs are allowed in all the rooms and on the furniture and bed. There are also dog beds in every room.
“Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of my pomeranian during boarding. She kept up with all of his special care instructions and grooming needs. I can tell she genuinely loves dogs and is very experienced in caring for them. My little guy had the best time staying with Rebecca and her family! Absolutely recommend 🥰”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
“Tyler did awesome with my two doggies when a last minute overnight came up! I will definetly be using him again! He also sent pictures and videos :) my boys are happy and safe and had a great time!”
“Overall a wonderful experience, very helpful with last minute changes of care. The pups came home happy and excited. Thank you! Will 100% book again.”
“Kalyn was amazing with my senior dog, Maci. Before her stay, we arranged a meet and greet, which definitely made drop off much easier as my dog was familiar with her home. Kalyn kept her over a long weekend and sent me pictures and updates throughout. She was always very friendly and responsive! I would definitely recommend Kalyn and plan to use her again for future stays!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dalton
Karyssa was very nice and took great care of our puppy! I was a little afraid she might be able to get out of her yard since part of it is not fenced but they stayed out there with her and kept her safe. It seemed like my pup had a great time there. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Karyssa in the future.
Amy was amazing as always! Sadie gets so excited to stay with her and you can tell she’s comfortable and always enjoys her stay! She took her on lots of walks and gave her lots of cuddles for us. She always does a great job with Sadie even with all of Sadie’s weird quirks!
Kelsey and her sweet family were so kind to my elder dog for a long stay while my husband and I traveled out of the country. Our girl is a sweetheart, but has some anxiety issues. Kelsey's family and pets just absorbed her right into the "pack" and kindly sent updates and pictures. They kept her on her routine for food and medications, plenty of love and play, and a quiet spot for her bed when she needed to rest.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Dalton 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 Dalton.
<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 Dalton 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 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.
