“I am so grateful to have found Mitzi through Rover. My Zazu loves her and her family. Mitzi shares pictures and is flexible with my last minute requests. Highly recommend!!!”
“Tokena and her babies was amazing. Beans felt right at home. They made him feel comfortable and at home. Tokena kept me updated and sent pictures regularly calming my nerves. LOL He will be back.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing with our pup! 🐾 She sent us daily pictures and videos and always replied to our messages quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she truly loved on our fur baby as if he were her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing Laura was caring for him and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter.”
“Charlie had an amazing time and felt right at home at Luke’s house. His huge backyard offered the perfect space for him to run around and play in. It was also a plus Luke’s dog was there to play around and wrestle with. Luke is great and very tentative to whatever your dog’s needs are no matter how big or small. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Miss Elaine was a wonderful host! I had to leave my great Dane with her at the last minute and she was so accommodating and took him in and now, he's earned his spot to come back and visit whenever he needs a dog sitter. I would definitely recommend Miss Elaine because she's so easy to work with and she's also amazing with her updates to make sure you're always in the "Know"”
“We needed to board Cotton, our 7-month-old Cock-a-poo for four days while my husband was in the hospital. To say we were apprehensive was a huge understatement! It was our first time boarding him. We picked Scott and Heather from their Profile on Rover and then arranged a “Meet-and-Greet” to assure ourselves that Cotton would be a good fit. Cotton weighs 11 pounds and Scott has larger dogs who turned out to be gentle companions. At this initial meeting, Scott was able to satisfactorily answer every question we had, to include such things as “how do we prevent Cotton from running away since he has to be “on leash” whenever a door is opened?” Or, “How do you plan to feed him since he grazes and he’ll be around the other dogs?” Every question—Answered! And, he was very flexible with our arrival and pick-up schedules, which were hard for us to nail down! From shortly after we dropped Cotton off, Scott sent us pictures of how he was getting along with the family and the family dogs. We began to relax! Over the next couple of days, and with our encouragement, Scott sent multiple pics and even a few videos to show us how our pup was getting along. He showed pics of Cotton with his other dogs, with his family and even a pic of an exhausted Cotton asleep on his lap! We were very grateful! We would be more than happy to leave Cotton with this family again! And we would highly recommend them for your pet’s boarding.”
“Jerry was super friendly, and was great with our pups. They were hesitant to leave, which is always a great sign to us that they enjoyed their time! We would definitely trust Jerry with our dogs again.”
“Brianna did an amazing job taking care of my 6-month-old puppy! She clipped her nails and took such great care of her. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me know how she was doing. She seemed to have such a great time with her! I really enjoyed the entire experience, from booking with Brianna and meeting her to having her care for my puppy. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. I’m so happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone looking for an amazing sitter! 🐾❤️”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Hilary and Lucas provided for our dog, Sparta! He had an absolute blast during his stay and even made some new furry friends. It's clear they genuinely love what they do and treat every dog like their own. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We highly recommend their service to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their pup.”
“Great experience! Sonya was VERY welcoming to me and Maya (my doggy) and asked good questions. She kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages. She ensured that Maya was comfortable and made the entire process very easy.”
“Brandi and John did a wonderful job and kept me updated throughout the whole stay. My pup had a great time and I was also able to relax knowing she was in great hands. Thank you!”
“I've tried several Rover dog sitters and Alcino is the best. They take your dog in as one of the family. No spending long hours in a crate. Just jump in and feel at home.”
About: I’ve always been a lover of animals. I have my own 2 cats and doggo and they’re my whole world. Before that I had family dogs and cats ever since I was young and they were my favorite thing to see when I came home after a long day. I love to workout with people themselves and animals! It benefits everyone to get up and move throughout the day. Plus dogs should get to experience the world around them too! I’m a stay at home mom, I am expecting our first baby in December. So once the baby is here, I may take a break for a little bit, but I’ll be back! I’m available to walk during typical business hours while my husband is working. I have a two story spacious home with a large fenced in backyard! Our bedroom is on the first floor so even if the dogs are older, they wouldn’t need to go up any stairs. I have a loving dog that will play and run around with them and 2 cats! One is super friendly and will play with them. The other is a little more timid and will most likely just hide.
“Our lab Kodi loved his time with Gretchen. He was happy and well-cared for. We received great pictures and letters from the dog to our daughter, which was an extra touch we all loved! We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Sally is the best dog sitter! Our baby boy had a blast with the other pops. My husband gets very down when we leave Chewbacca but Sally kept up updates daily and sent us pictures which made my husband enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much Sally! ❤️”
“My dog had the best time staying at Brianna’s with their dog Willow for the week! Brianna kept great communication with tons of pictures that helped make my week away stress free. I would definitely recommend and will be using her again for future trips!”

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 Emit 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 Emit.
<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 Emit 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.
