“Brittany was as sweet as could be--and side note: ADORABLE twin toddlers! ;-) Apparently Buster and the tots kept each other busy to the point of everyone napping by the end of the visit. I was visiting from out of town for a family event, and if/when I go again, I'll definitely leave Buster with Brittany. Thank you so much, Brittany!”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Thank you Lindsy, my baby Millie had a wonderful time with you and your family. She came home happy and tired from playing and napping all day. I appreciate your accommodation and kindness, we will be booking again for sure, probably today!”
“They were great very professional and reasonable. They also send pictures and videos and respond back very fast. Had a great experience with them my dog didn’t want to come back home.”
“My babies absolutely loved her! My Maxx requires a complex medicine routine to include insulin shots, treatment for glaucoma, blindness and vestibular disease and a strict feeding routine. She handled it like a champ in addition to caring for my Lady Poo too. My go to person from now on!”
“Mishael and her family were terrific. They were available for us last minute overnight during the holiday and they took such great care of our boy, Thor! Unfortunately he did not take us leaving him well and was extremely needy and depressed overnight but Mishael didn’t skip a beat. She was great giving us multiple updates and sending pics as well as going above and beyond to keep Thor comforted with attention until we returned! I would recommend them to anyone needing someone to look after their fur baby!!!”
“Ayaka was amazing! We were able to enjoy our weekend vacation so much more knowing our pup was in good hands. She updated us with pictures throughout the weekend and it was clear our dog was taken care of and living it up. We highly recommend Ayaka!”
“Thank you Heather for your kind, patient and attentive mannerisms with Levi. I can tell he really enjoyed you and I truly appreciate the pictures and updates of Levi while in your care. I will definitely be contacting you soon for your help. Thank you again.”
“Mason and Christian were very accommodating, even when we needed to come back one day late. Hermione seemed to thrive in their care. We will use them again!”
“Ashley was great! Chang looked like he was having a great time in his pictures that she sent to me. I’m very appreciative of her being comfortable with Chang being old and having several issues. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Alayna is awesome! She made sure to update us everyday with cute pictures and made sure our girl was well cared for. Phoebe had so much fun with Rico and Titan and cannot wait to come back! Thank you Alayna for being a great sport even when we mixed up our pickup time :) 10/10 stars”
“Amy is a an amazing caretaker and pet lover! Her home is an awesome environment for my pup and anyone’s! She has several outdoor spaces. My dog loves to be in the sunshine and he can do that and get in the shade if he’s hot or be inside with her while she works at home. He’s been so loved in her care. Amy followed my follow up communication preference so perfectly. I had a very busy weekend so she sent me a couple updates and answered so quickly when I had time to reach out. Amy is the best and she is so affordable. Book her today! I will definitely be back.”
“Madison could not have been sweeter and sent me so many photos of my dog throughout her stay. She played ball with Ula, took her for many walks, and snuggled with her. She probably had more fun than she does at home! I will definitely use Madison again for our pet sitting needs.”
“All I can say is that I didn’t know Georgie could possibly be more spoiled than he already was but he is and that is a good thing! Made the entire trip away perfect knowing he was being so loved. Anyone who adores their dog and considers them their baby and not just a pet, do not hesitate to trust Toni to care for them.”
“My dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Marnette, David, and Gouda. This was the first time we had our dog stay with someone who we didn’t know personally. I was nervous, but Marnette and David took very good care of our dog. They are trustworthy and kind. We appreciated check-ins and pictures in the morning and at night. Highly recommend!”

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.
85% of sitters in Forest City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Forest City 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 Forest City.
<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 Forest City 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.
