“David is a gem! He made our two beagles feel right at home during our recent travel out of state. Additionally, he shared photos and updates of our doggies each day we were gone, and let us know how they were adjusting to his space. We will, most assuredly, book David again -- and you should too!”
“Lena took such good care of our sweet dog while we were away on vacation! She sent many updates and pictures throughout the day, and it was evident that our pup was well taken care of and had one on one care and attention. Would highly recommend Lena!”

“Our 1 year old mini-golden doodle had a GREAT time with Emily and William and their family. We were overseas so nervous about leaving Copper for 10 days. Emily and William were great from the minute we met them for a "meet and greet". They loved on Copper and put our mind at ease for being away from him. They sent several pictures while we were away and re-assured us that he was getting along well with their other dogs and their children. Copper had a great time and we will definitely use them again if the need arises.”
“Ann was fantastic taking care of our two dogs for the week, we got regular photos and updates and very clear communication the whole time. I felt assured they were being taken good care of. I’d definitely recommend Ann and leave them with her again.”
“Remi is an anxious dog but seemed to enjoy/was comfortable during her time at Julia’s! Julia sent a ton of pics each day so I was never worried about how she was doing. We’ll definitely be using her again! :)”
“Greg & Julia were fantastic with Leela! They sent me a lot of pictures sharing all the things she was doing, They have a lot of experience, which helped me a lot to low down my anxiety. So happy I’ve found them!”
“Keon was a great sitter! He took care of my dog very nicely! My dog had so much fun playing with the other dogs as well! I could see that my dog was having so much fun and that he was having a great time! ❤️ I am so satisfied, and I will certainly send my dog to board with him again! 😊”
“Had such a great experience with Grant! He watched my chihuahua for two days and sent me cute videos and photos which I loved. Super easy to communicate with and really flexible. Would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others!”

“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”

“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“I can’t recommend Krystina C. enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—so kind and attentive. My pup loved all the walks and playtime, especially with her dog! It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals. As a bonus, she even gave me some great recommendations for new food. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, Krystina is the one to call!”
“Titan had a fantastic time with Teri! I was so nervous to leave my old, quirky pup when I left the country but that fear quickly went away when I met Teri and throughout Titan’s stay. He loved her backyard and all the attention he got and was very comfortable there and will definitely be a repeat visitor when I need a doggy sitter!”

Rufus had the best time with Lauren! She sent us lots of pictures throughout his stay and was quick to respond whenever we got in touch. We were grateful for the yard she had for the dogs to run around in and play. While no issues arose, we were confident that she would be able to take care of anything as needed. Rufus can't wait to come back!
I truly feel so comfortable leaving my Beagle with Robin as I know that she does a terrific job listening to Zoe's boundaries and never pushes her. Zoe had a rough past and it's reassuring to find a sitter who can go with the flow; even when that flow means no walk bc there are scary construction noises down the street! Thank you again Robin!!

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 Meet & Greet .
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
