“Rajita was very sweet and took Buddy in at the last minute. He seemed happy with the photos I sent. She said her kids loved him, and that's what matters most: that he was loved. He's a loving little guy who loves love.”
“Renee was absolutely perfect with my Monty, which is a commendable feat; he’s a grumpy old man who doesn’t get along with many! She sent the cutest pictures and updates throughout and was so accommodating when my trip didn’t go as planned. Monty also made a new friend in her dog Oreo. Overall, 5 star experience and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Paige did an excellent job with our Dolce. Each day, we received updates with pictures/videos alongside a summary of the day. Paige was also very good with communicating with us in a timely manner. Overall, a great experience! Thanks Paige!”
“Sonia and Jeff are the best. They have hosted Cookie twice, and she always returns home healthy and happy. Even with a short notice request they have been in the best disposition to take her. We are so grateful with them.”
“They were amazing with Bella, always sending pics and keeping me posted, which makes a huge difference! Bella was so happy and me too! I super recommend!!🌟”
“Another wonderful experience leaving my dog, Macy with Scott and Heather! Their family is the best at keeping Macy safe, playing with her, giving her lots of love and making her part of their family. A perfect place to leave your dog and feel at ease while away! Thank you Scott and Heather!”
“Laura was FABULOUS with our Chili! She treated him as her own and he has deemed her (As well as her dog!) his new best friends. She is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated with so many pictures and videos while we were away. She has a lovely personality and is most certainly the epitome of a dog person. Thank you Laura!”
“Lauren and her children were very receptive to us upon our arrival. We live out of state, so we were nervous leaving our two dogs with strangers. But, Lauren gave us many updates throughout their stay with photos and messages letting us know they were doing well. When we picked them up, they were clean and all their personal belongings were in the bags we left with Lauren. The dogs must have had a good romp before we picked them up because they were sure thirsty! I know they received a lot of attention, love and care. I wouldn't hesitate to use Lauren again in the future.”
“Denise and Oscar were amazing with Chip! They were understanding of my anxiety with using rover and all of chips needs. They sent me photos and updates the whole time he was there. They treated him as if he was one of their own and made me feel he was right at home with them. He was so spoiled and happy being there he was ready to go back! Will always be my go to people now if I need to for Chip!”
“Rebecca is the BEST! We had a family emergency and she was very accommodating based on last minute decisions. There was trust right from the start and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family for years. I’ve looked after all kinds of dogs, from big Rottweilers to tiny senior dogs near the end of life who needed to be carried down the stairs to potty. That range has taught me to be patient, to read each dog’s needs, and to adjust my care to fit their age, energy, and health. I sit small to medium dogs in my own home, and someone is almost always here, so your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. We have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe potty breaks and playtime. My two pugs, Maggie and Bob, live here too and will be happy to keep your dog company if they’re comfortable with other dogs. I’m glad to follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special care needs, and I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home two days a week, and my wife and kids are home every day since our boys are homeschooled. That means there’s almost always someone here with your dog, so they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of company throughout the day. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, so just let me know what works for you. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, especially around other dogs and young boys. I take time to learn what makes your dog comfortable and go at their pace with introductions. I treat every dog like my own, with all the love and attention they deserve, so you can relax while you’re away knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I have grown up with dogs in the house (6) since I was a child! I have had 2 small dogs (a Pomeranian and a Shorkie) for 8 years and they get tired of each other so they love making new dog friends! I work from home so have the ability to be around your dog(s) 24/7! I work from home Monday - Friday and not mandatory to go into the office though I do love to go on Tuesdays but can miss it if you need your dog watched! I have 2 very friendly dogs to keep your dog(s) company and entertained! I don’t have a fenced in back yard yet but I have the capability to take them on walks and have a large townhome where they have space to roam and I can even crate your dog if you’d like but I let mine on the couch and sleep in bed with me!
“No complaints at all. Leo enjoyed the time with Josh and family. They sent pictures of Leo everyday and that made our vacation more enjoyable. We will love to drop Leo again at Josh’s place! Thank you!”
“Debra’s amazing backyard is like a doggy dream come true! Her dogs also got along well with my girl, who is quite shy and can get nervous around other dogs. I’m so glad to have found her!”
“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”
“Marilyn went above and beyond caring for our pet dog. She and her family loved him like their own, and we would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect dogsitter!”

This was my first time using Rover. Nicole accommodated Mocha and I at the last minute and I thank her so much for helping us out. Nicole and mocha got along very well. Dropping off and picking up Mocha went very smooth. We had no problems. I will definitely be using Nicole again.
I had never boarded my dog Phoebe at someone’s home so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Melissa was awesome, she was able to accommodate a four night stay with less than 24 hours notice. She’s extremely professional, before accepting the booking she requested vaccination records and actually read them as she required further clarification from the vet so I know that she doesn’t take just any random dog for monetary reasons. Clearly she cares about the health and safety of the dogs in her care as well as her own dogs. When I dropped Phoebe off and saw the fenced in yard and heard her dogs I knew she was about to have a good time, and she did. Highly recommend Melissa and would 1000% trust Phoebe with her again.
Lovely family. We felt comfortable leaving Willow, knowing she would get lots of hugs and love while we were away. We appreciated the photos and videos sent, as well. Special shoutout to Layla, who sang and sent us a ‘happy birthday, Willow’ video, as she turned 8 while we were gone.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Forestville 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 Forestville 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 Forestville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forestville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Forestville 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
