“I booked my 4 year old cocker/poodle mix with Katie when I went to an out of state wedding and came back to find a better trained dog than I left. He loved Katie and enjoyed being with her dog as well as another dog she was boarding. He enjoyed the walks and all the sociability. I will definitely contact Katie again for more stays.”

“David was amazing! Lucky enough, we were traveling and we put in the request for a sitter pretty late, David was so understanding and took the time to build rapport and sent photos of our fur baby while we were away for the day and kept us up to date by telling us even small details of how our dog was settling in. I could tell my dog fit right in with David and had no issues at all. Would absolutely recommend and book David again!”

“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! :)”

“This was our first time using Rebecca. We felt very comfortable leaving Rusty in her care. She was very prompt in answering our texts and sent updates and pictures of Rusty.”


About: I’ve loved animals throughout my life and have always been comfortable around dogs of all sizes, including very large breeds. I grew up with a German Shepherd and have spent years interacting with dogs through family, friends, and my work in clients’ homes. When I worked in housekeeping, many of my clients had large dogs, so I became comfortable entering and working in homes where dogs were present while respecting their space, routines, and boundaries. I’m comfortable getting down on the floor to play, giving a dog time to warm up to me, and paying attention to their body language rather than forcing interaction. I’m not a dog trainer, and my focus is not training. My goal is simple: to provide attentive, dependable care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I work a rotating 2-2-3 night-shift schedule, which gives me several days off each week. My availability varies by work cycle, but I can accommodate pet-care visits throughout the week when scheduled around my work hours and rest time. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and affectionate. I follow your pet’s established routine for meals, bathroom breaks, and other needs. Expect plenty of affection, playtime, companionship, and a relaxed presence. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries while keeping their comfort and safety a priority.
“I am so happy to find Kelly! I have been searching for the right place to board our dog, where he can interact with other dogs and be outdoors to play. I found the right place. Kelly took our dog on hikes and sent multiple updates. She is caring and compassionate. I trust her completely. Our dog enjoyed it and dogs can sense “their people”. They know if they can trust a human. He completely trusts her and I know he has a pack away from home when needed.”

“Bailey was amazing! She was so sweet, attentive, and professional with my dog. he acted a little out of character but she handled the situation calmly and took the time to assess what was going on. I really appreciate how caring and responsible she was. I definitely recommend Bailey and will be using her again! 🐶💕”
“Denise was great! She sent me pictures and updates. I knew that.Kornwallis was well cared for. Her own dog Grover Cleveland was a perfect host. We would definitely recommend Denise and will use her in the future! Kornwallis approve this message!”

“Colleen watched our dog Bear for a weekend and she is absolutely fantastic. She is kind and caring and Bear really enjoyed the time with her. He was well cared for and she went above and beyond. It was our first time leaving him for an extended period and we had no worries while Bear was in her care. I would 100% recommend her.”

“Jenna and Shane were fantastic! Addi was so happy! I felt like they really cared about her and they just love dogs. Addi got along great with their dogs. Great experience!”

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! As of now, I cannot make any accommodations for pet in-home boarding. I currently live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets but I am willing do client in-home pet sitting and pet walks.
“Jessica took really great care of my lab. She sent pictures & updates. I really appreciate how much she cared for my pup. She has a dog park near where she lives and took Griffin on frequent walks so I know he was quite happy.”

“Denise was such a an incredible dog sitter for our little buddy, she was very attentive, caring, and enthusiastic! We will definitely be returning to her for dog sitting! Thank you Denise!”

About: I'm an animal person and wish one day I have a house with a huge yard so I can adopt all the dogs and cats from the shelters! Before that happens, I'm pet sitting as a hobby. I have pets throughout my life including cats, dogs, fishes, turtles, ducks, chickens, bunnies and I think the most odd one is silk worms. Lol. I realized once I got cats, I cant have the other small critters :( my cats are hunters lol. I currently have a 6yr old Standard Poodle Baely and 3 cats. Baely is playful but also cat-like as she was raised by cat moms. I also cared for special needs cats/dogs such as feeding meds, mouth drops, eye drops, apply creams. I work from home fulltime, but I only board one dog (siblings are acceptable) at the time to make sure I give your pup the most attention but I can care more than 1 cat at the time. :) Baely and I love meeting new friends. My cats are shy but cool - They hide when new smells come around but do say hi once they are used to the new people/animals smell. Ask me about regular clients booking discount! Now I have 2 human toddler babies so I do only care kid-friendly gentle furrbabies. My kids are very gentle near animals so your furbabe will be in good hands! My husband and I work from home so our schedule is flexible and can attending to your baby's needs at anytime when not in a meeting During the day, your furbaby will be "working" with me in my office and we will take potty breaks every 2-4 hours. If your furbaby is a feline, we get plenty of pets during meetings lol Alone time or play time can be adjusted based on your babies temperament/preference.

“My review is a few days late but not because we were unhappy with Lindsay……quite the opposite!!!! Lindsay is the absolute best!!!!!!! She truly loves what she does and my dog loves her. Lindsay took care of our dog for five days and our dog loved every minute of it! If you want an attentive dog sitter for your pet, book Lindsay!!!!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent time on my grandfather’s farm, helping care for all kinds of animals, which taught me patience and responsibility from a young age. Over the years, I’ve also raised my own dogs from the puppy stage, so I’m very comfortable with training, housebreaking, and giving lots of love and attention to growing pets. Because of this experience, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I treat every pet like part of my family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is my priority and a big part of my everyday life. I have a very flexible schedule and am always available to give pets the attention they need. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and playtime, making sure every pet feels cared for and safe. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or late night cuddles, I’m available and ready to make pets feel at home. I live in a spacious, pet friendly apartment in a safe and quiet neighborhood, which makes it perfect for dogs to relax and feel at home. I keep my space clean, cozy, and pet proof, and there’s plenty of room for play and rest. When pets stay with me, they get lots of love, attention, and structured potty breaks. I enjoy going on regular walks around my neighborhood, which is calm and great for exercise. I make sure to stick to each pet’s normal routine for meals, bathroom breaks, playtime, and bedtime so they feel comfortable and secure. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their exact instructions to keep pets happy and stress free. I make sure food, water, and medication schedules are followed closely, and I send regular updates and pictures so owners feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals since I was a kid. That being said, I’m comfortable around dogs, cats, exotic pets, birds, reptiles- you name it, I’m a huge animal lover! When I moved away for college I brought my childhood dog with me who I had since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she faced some health issues as she got older, but I was lucky enough to be able to care for her until she was 17! Because of my time spent with her, I am comfortable and experienced with dogs from the puppy age to seniors, have administered pills and topical medication numerous times, have no problem with bathing and grooming, etc. I also fostered a dog and started up my rover after my dog passed and since then I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many more fur babies. No pet is a challenge for me! I work full time during the week, but am looking to fill my free time with a serotonin boost from your pup! I love dogs and as a dog owner, I know that it’s sometimes hard to fit 3 walks a day into a crazy packed schedule, or spontaneously take a day trip somewhere, so I’d like to help! I am typically available for evening walks during the week but and completely flexible on weekends! It is my goal to ensure you that I will be respectful of your home and privacy, as well as your dogs normal schedule. I am reliable and trust worthy, and can adapt to any dogs personality, whether they are shy, reactive, hyper, or sleepy! I’ve walked dogs as small as 5 pounds to as big as 90, so no dog will be a challenge! I’m very attentive while on walks to make sure your dog does not hurt themself/ eat something they shouldn’t/ mess with another dog. I can be flexible with any precautions I’d need to take with your dog whether that be medication, assistance with mobility or anything else! Your dogs comfort is my first priority!

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

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 .
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.

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.
