“We had a great experience! They were responsive, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. Our golden pup had a wonderful time. We really appreciated the photo updates without having to ask — it gave us peace of mind.”
“It was an excellent experience. I loved the patience and love Adriana has for dogs. I received photos and videos every day which allowed me to be close to my babies during my trip.”
About: Hello! I've pet sat for multiple years now and would love to help you out! From new born puppies to elderly dogs I've done it all. Dogs, cats, chickens, and even bearded dragons, I gotchu! I'm a student at UNC Chapel Hill and can handle any needs and wants to need from me! Hope to sit for you very soon! I am available in the morning before class that begins around 10am and all the time afterwards around 1:30pm. On weekends I am available all day! I am fully able to complete anything the owner needs from me! Walks, medication, play time, staying over some nights, I'm your girl! I can usually stay for some hours each time I need to drop by and of course spend nights if needed!
“Naotake and his wife, Hitoko, did a fabulous job watching Penny Friday afternoon-Monday morning while I was out of town. I couldn't be happier with the care they provided and never once questioned their competency or intentions. From finding them on Rover to meeting in person and concluding the sit, they had perfect communication. They answered all of my questions (and vice versa), eased my anxieties, and provided a plethora of information about their experiences caring for pets. I met them in person prior to the sit and they were very warm and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed/appreciated getting to know them and building a relationship prior to the sit. They were very sweet, accommodating, and passionate about the work they do. During the sit, the responded promptly to my messages and sent tons of videos/photos of Penny. They also sent multiple daily (morning & night) updates about how she was doing, what they had planned for the day, and any questions they had. Naotake and Hitoko went above and beyond, taking Penny on long walks, to the dog park, and in the car for fun rides around town. Considering that Penny has occasional health issues, can be reactive around other dogs, and is currently being crate trained, I was nervous about being apart and worried she would be burdensome for sitters. Naotake and Hitoko never made me feel this way, going out of their way to make me and Penny feel comfortable, supported, and loved. Penny did great with them, got tons of exercise and stimulation, and even had positive experiences with others dogs at the park (which is rare). I'm so appreciate of them for making my trip stress free and treating Penny like their own. If you're looking for kind, authentic, and transparent sitters, Naotake and Hitoko are for you. They accommodated all of my requests, from making Penny kongs, wiping her paws after walks, and following crating/walking routines to ease her anxiety. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much Naotake and Hitoko, Penny and I are so thankful for you! :)”
“The best sitter I've ever had! It's almost as if my dog (Kota) misses her. She was absolutely amazing and the love she shows to our furry 4 legged family members is 100 genuine! I will definitely book her again! I advise you to book with her if you want your fur babies to be treated with love and care! Thank you so much Jakiah!”
“So glad we found a comfortable option for boarding our dogs. It’s so nice to have them in a family environment with other friendly dogs to play with. Mary was very easy to communicate with and sent us pictures while we were on our trip.”
“Kelly is always absolutely amazing! Cannot say enough great things about her and her son. My dog feels like it’s a vacation every time she comes, and I know she’s getting amazing care! ❤️❤️”
About: I’m an extra large( Anatolian) and small( mug) dog breed owner with a nice sized backyard. I love to walk and I love dogs. I’ve had experience training not only my dogs, but a few stubborn breeds. So for all my large and extra large dog owners, I’m here to help.

I have a fence yard and two friendly fur babies. I’m a large human being so walking any breed of dog will not be a problem.
“Kristal was great! Looked after our two fur babies, overnight, while we went out of town. Neither had stayed with a stranger overnight, but they did great. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jenna and Shane watched Lola for us and we could not be happier! They responded quickly over Rover, sent us plenty of pictures of Lola daily, and we could tell that Lola had a blast playing with their dog! We will definitely book with them again!”

About: Hello furry friends, I have owned a couple of furry pets of my own and gained experience from walking, feeding, and caring for them as I have worked my way through college and my job. I love dogs, cats and any other animals as well. Being surrounded by furry friends genuinely makes me happier and I would love to provide my services to help other furry parents out. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I currently don't have any obligations as I am a free to walk any furry friend throughout any times of the day. Please reach out!

“Denise was very accommodating during our meet and greet. She answered all our questions about initial intake which provided us confidence. She accepted my dog and same like wise. It appears we have a doggie sitter to work with. Highly recommend.”
“Jessica and Jonathan were fantastic hosts and care takers for our dog. They updated us regularly with photos and it made us feel so at ease. Looking forward to have them care for our pup again in the future!”
“Lisa and Jeff are great at this. Their attention to detail was extremely reassuring. Lisa took notes and even referenced info from my pooches profile. I received timely updates and pics. My baby returned home to a new environment and was relaxed and presented very little agitation. I am so glad I made the decision to use this couple. I have already rebooked with Lisa and Jeff for next month and will continue to choose them whenever the need arises.”
“Rudy had a great overnight stay with Mary. She is a good communicator and sent me pics which I appreciated getting. Mary is a great new resource to me especially since she is only 5 minutes from my home. Thanks again, Mary!”

Anna was awesome. First of all she was so accommodating to a change in schedule last minute. Lucy absolutely loves Anna. I received lots of photos and videos and updates on Lucy. This was her first time staying with someone so we were nervous. Anna will be my go to dog sitter from here on out!!!
Lexi did an amazing job watching Patch while I was out of state. Patch can be nervous with new people and has a fairly specific care routine, but Lexi was patient, attentive, and made her feel comfortable. She sent regular updates, photos, and a video, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took Patch on walks, to the park, and even out for a pup cup. She also went above and beyond by buying toys and treats for Patch to enjoy during her stay. It was clear that Patch was well cared for and had a great time. Lexi was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Patch again!
I had the pleasure of hiring Danielle to watch Harmony for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with her care. She took excellent care of Harmony, keeping her happy and comfortable. Danielle was very communicative, checking in with me throughout the stay and sending adorable pictures of Harmony. It was such a relief to know my senior dog was in good hands. I will definitely be a repeat customer and highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Debbie did an amazing job with our Shih Tzu, Major!! She sent us several pictures and videos of Major and kept us updated on how he was doing throughout his stay with her. He is very kind and caring with her furry clients.🐶 We highly recommend her and are already planning to to book her again soon.
Janie and her fur babies are wonderful! Janie is so caring. Sent pictures of Brandi. I appreciate her doing that. We don’t get to travel much, but whenever we do, I will definitely check with Janie first, and hope that she will be available. Thanks to Janie and Rover! Kathy Erdman

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.

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.
