“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Our dog loved his stay with Michelle and her family. She gave updates with photos and videos during our trip and made sure we were in the loop with how he was doing. He had lots of playtime and outdoor time, got along great with her dogs, and was comfy and cared for :)”
“Lacie is 5 stars as well as A++!!!! She takes remarkable care of our special needs Havanese , Emma. I can’t recommend her enough!! We love Lacie and would trust her with anything we own. Thank you Lacie.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have a sweet 12 year old who also loves dogs and enjoys playing with them. I work from home most of the time some short windows of time out of the home. I have fostered puppies and dogs in the past. I work from home most of the week alongside my almost 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, leash walks around the neighborhood, and trips to our local dog park. While I’m usually home, I do step out occasionally for work meetings (up to 3–4 hours at a time). My setup is very dog-friendly! I have a fully fenced-in yard lined with extra mesh security for smaller pups, plus baby gates downstairs to keep everyone safe and nearby while I work.
“Birdie had such a great stay with Soraya and will definitely be back the next time I need doggy care! Her home and back yard are well taken care of and secure! She treated Birdie like her own and provided regular pupdates!”
“Jordan and her little 3-year-old daughter were super sweet!! They took great care of our little Shih Poo girl, not to mention she had just started her cycle. I was afraid that Jordan might cancel, but she didn't. My daughter and I brought her with her crate, diapers, food, and toys, and that was that. We were able to enjoy our travels to see family over the weekend without worry over our baby pooch. We're keeping Jordan's profile up top!”
“This is the second time Lilly has stayed with Caroline. She did a great job with communicating & sending pictures so we knew Lilly was comfortable & doing well. Would definitely have her sit Lilly again!”
“My dog had a great time with Sarah and her family. He was well-cared for, got along with their dog, and got lots of exercise and attention. It was a great experience and I appreciated the pictures she sent!”
“We just picked up our pup from a weeklong stay with Katie and Jeremy, and judging by her level of exhaustion, she had a great time. 😊 This was her second stay with them and we now have an even greater level of comfort knowing she is well cared for in this home. Frequent photos and text messages from Katie and Jeremy were greatly appreciated. And we loved that toward the end of her stay , she had a companion dog to chase in the backyard. They clearly both had a great time. Thank you, Katie and Jeremy for your excellent care for Maggie. We have another trip planned in spring of next year and will be in touch to schedule boarding for that one too. We highly recommend this home for short or extended stays. A++ pet sitters!!”
“Jamie and Nathan were great to work with. They were super responsive and very accommodating. Our dog Riggins loved staying with them. We would not hesitate to book with them again!”
About: 25 years of heartfelt experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I bring genuine love and expert knowledge to every furry friend. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior cat, or anything in between, my deep understanding ensures compassionate, personalized care that nurtures their health and happiness. Every pet is treated like family, making their well-being and joy my top priority. Extremely flexible schedule, I am willing to travel, work remotely, willing to respond quickly, living on 1.5 acres, here to help with your pet needs. I have plenty of space to walk the dogs, a dog runner, crate, and one female cat named Bubbles. Bubbles will most likely stay in the basement where she thrives in her own space.
“Cinthya was absolutely wonderful! She helped us out with a last minute booking with special arrangements. She took great care of our Coco and kept us posted with pictures and updates during her entire stay. We will definitely book with her again!”
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Julie! She is extremely responsible, always reliable, and loves my dog like one of her own. This is the first time we did an in-home stay for our large, goofy lab. The peace of mind we have knowing he is so well taken care of is invaluable. I highly recommend Julie.”
“Calvin has a very positive and relaxed personality. You can tell he loves dogs. Our dog is used to being at home with his 2 humans, so Calvin’s one-on-one set up worked well with our dog. Will definitely book again with Calvin.”
“Robin is so comforting. She is calm and compassionate with our aging pup, and we are so relieved when he is in her competent care. Robin is our first choice for caring for our sweet little man. 🐶❤️”
“Leslie is the BEST! We loved her kind, gentle attitude and the love and individual attention she gave Floyd. She welcomed him into her home and treated him like her own. We (and especially Floyd) loved that she took him on hikes every day. We will definitely use Leslie again!”

If I come to your house , I will take care of animals as instructed , and observe to make sure all is well in the home .
“Brody and his dog-friendly compound were the perfect fit for my girl Ivy. I've felt very comfortable leaving her for extended stays as Brody is an amazing communicator and keeps you updated throughout the stay. I will definitely be coming back for future dog care!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dana
David and April are so friendly, fun, accommodating and professional! They went above and beyond to look after our active dog, taking him on long walks and playing fetch. They have a great setting for dog care with a big fenced-in yard. We really appreciated the updates and photos on how he was doing!

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 Dana 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 Dana.
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 Dana 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.
