About: I was born and raised with German Shepherds growing up. I love dogs. I haven't found a dog yet that didn't like me. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own. While the dogs are at my home, they will not be caged, they will be free to run around the house and let me know when they need to go out as well. Most will let me know if they want to go out to play too. They may be tired when you come to pick them up from my place or even if I sit at your home. Please provide dog food and a crate (If Needed) for your dog. I don't have any breed or size restrictions but do ask they be up to date on vaccines AND flea/tick prevention. I'd like to know of any medical conditions, food sensitivities, and any little traits they may have such as being an escape artist, loving to chew, etc. Feel free to share their favorite things to do so I can make their stay as enjoyable as possible! **** I can also keep multiple dogs from the same family. **** I usually only take one family at a time, I do not book more than one family unless there is a day/hour overlap between bookings. Updates: 08/01/21 - I have security cameras now that you can log into to see me playing with your dog during their stay. No extra costs for this feature. TODAY - I'm always home now. I was laid off on 05/29/26. So now I'm home all the time. I have a fenced backyard. I take care of your dog as part of my family. They are inside with me and ounds.tside to play and go potty. They roam around the house just as I do. I take care of them throughout the day. Feed them as you recommend. I take them out often to play unless I see they get too tired, etc. I always look out for the dogs. I have always updated owners if the dogs ever get hurt and keep an eye out for their health and safety. Update - I'm always home now. I was laid off on 05/29/26. So now I'm home all the time.

During the summer and winter, I make sure they drink water if they're very active outside. ****** I will no longer dog-sit Pitbulls and Rottweilers for my own safety! *****
“Brianna was able to help out with last minute dog day care for our new rescue! She responded quickly and was easy to schedule with. Our boy had a great time making new friends and was ready for a nap when we got home! Made us feel so much better that he had someone to hang out with while we worked, would recommend!!”
“This was our first time using Arden, and we could tell right away that she’s wonderful with dogs — especially with Rooney! We were well informed with updates and photos throughout the day, and it was clear Rooney was happy, safe, and well cared for. Arden took her on walks and let her relax on the gated back porch, which she loved. We’ll definitely book with Arden again!”
About: Grew up with parents who were groomers and breeders. I went to school to major as a veterinarian due to my love animals, and even though life, I find myself forever engulfed by the love of these furry creatures. Dogs to wolves, house cats to bobcats, ferret buddies, birds, hamsters and more. There’s care for them all. I manage well🙂. I have plenty of days where I find myself very free and available. A little companionship never heard us. Sometimes I need to take a walk and there’s a room for company. I’m a little sit down with friends never hurt. As the fur parent sees fit. They would be fed, potty breaks/outside time 2-4 times a day, and given a social atmosphere of people and or play friends. Unless otherwise directed. Light grooming and bathing can also be discussed.
“Deanna was amazing with my Maggie! Maggie had an amazing time at her house. This was our first time doing an overnight at someone else’s house so I was a little nervous but Deanna was great and made me feel completely comfortable with leaving Maggie in her care. She let us come over for a meet and greet ahead of time and texted updates throughout the week! Cannot wait to use Deanna again.”

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work from home full-time, so your pet will have company and supervision throughout the day.

“Nowell is amazing! She allowed me to book last minute and she was very accommodating for our pup. Zuri LOVED her time with Nowell and her two dogs. She slept through the evening after an eventful day of play with Nowell's dog, Blue. Thanks again!!!!”
“Karissa and Robert took such great care of Sherman for his first week at day care. He enjoyed his time so much and they made his new environment so comforting and easy. Thank you both so much, can’t wait for Sherman to go back to have a great time again this week.”

About: I have grown up around all different kinds of animals and have adored them all my life. I have cared for others' pets (dogs and cats) alongside my own for around ten years, ensuring both safety and comfort at all times. I can care for both active and sleepy pets and have experience with all ages. I have cared for multiple pets (including my own dog) with specialized health problems and am comfortable providing medicine or special treatments. I will treat your pet as if they are my own! I am currently a stay at home mom and have full availability to fit the needs of your schedule. We take walks when the weather is nice, eat separately whenever your pet is normally scheduled to, and can play or cuddle all day. Pets have access to my home and fenced back yard. I allow pets on the furniture and the environment is always clean and safe! There is a senior cat and toddler in home, and the toddler will be separated from the pets at all times. Safety and comfort are number 1 priority!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.
About: I’m a parent of a ragdoll. Equip of taking medicine, nail clipping, paw trimming and cat washing. I also have a pet dryer set up for her.0 I’m currently working from home full time so I’m very flexible with schedules. I’m very easy going so just communicate and there’s nothing we can’t figure out. I have all wooded floor in the first floor solely for stay over dogs to keep them comfort and stay away from cats if needed, same situation for cats if needed.
About: I offer a safe and welcoming home backed by years of hands-on dog ownership. I currently raise two dogs, aged 4 and 5, which has given me extensive experience in canine socialization, behavioral understanding, and daily care routines. I am highly attentive to safety and comfort, ensuring that your pet’s specific dietary, exercise, and medical needs are met precisely. I look forward to welcoming your dog into a reliable, loving environment where they can feel right at home. As a self-employed business owner and independent professional, I work primarily from home and enjoy a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. I am available throughout the week to provide continuous supervision, structured feeding, and frequent potty breaks. Your pets will rarely be left alone, ensuring they receive constant attention, love, and professional companionship right when they need it. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. In my home, guest pets will be safely socialized with my own friendly, well-trained dogs and cats in a controlled, supervised environment. I maintain a clean, pet-proofed living space and follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, crating, and routines to the letter. I am always vigilant about security, door management, and yard safety to ensure a completely secure and stress-free stay.

Our pup Ollie had such a good time at daycare for the day. Alexandria was very professional. She provided plenty of photos, videos, and updates. She gave Ollie some extra treats which he loved! We picked him up and he’s been sleeping since- he is so wiped out from having the best time playing all day!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Garner commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
