“Jerry is amazing with Jack . I always know that Jack is treated like part of the family and well cared for . Jerry kept me updated with pictures and messages . My pup Jack was happy, relaxed, and had fun on his stay . Thank you Jerry!”
“Hannah took great care of Roxy. She gave me daily updates on Roxy and pictures. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Renee and her family took great care of our little chihuahua. She sent lots of photos which we really enjoyed. We just booked her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Bruno received during his stay with Lesley and her sweet family! This was his second stay, and the moment we dropped him off, he was so excited to see Lesley. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Lesley followed every instruction we provided and made sure Bruno stayed on his normal routine. We also loved receiving photo updates twice a day, every day, which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It honestly felt like he was on his own vacation! It’s clear that Lesley and her family genuinely care for the pets they watch, and we are so grateful for the excellent care and communication. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you Lesley & family!!”
“David and Johanna did a great job! I could tell when I dropped my dog off that he was going to be in good hands. I would love to have them watch Lambeau again.”
“Xiaoyu was incredibly caring and loving with my kitties. One of them is very shy and skittish and only lets me touch her — not even my husband can. To my surprise, Foxy ended up letting Xiaoyu pet her and even slept in their bed . That says everything. Xiaoyu was very responsive, kept me updated the whole time, and sent pictures regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed all instructions carefully and treated my cats like her own. I am very grateful ♥️”
“This is the second time Britanny took care of Fox, and he had a wonderful time again with her and her corgi!! Thanks Britanny for taking such good care of him.”
“They were just wonderful! I got updates and pictures daily. She had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing she was in trusted hands!”
“My dog had a great weekend with Jessica and family! They had great communication with us and gave daily updates and photos. Their home was clean and safe. I will definitely rebook with them in the future.”
“Over all great! Took great care of my dog and updated me on her well being throughout the whole night! Even made her a scarf which was also so sweet! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“So grateful to Ashley & PJ for always being so kind and flexible ❤️ We never have to worry when Cooper is with them, which means so much to us. Thank you again for helping us out last minute!”
“So happy Onyx stayed with this lovely family. Marissa was warm and inviting. She shared pictures of Onyx with us while he was there. I have no complaints and will definitely use them again! If they are available. ☺️”
“I'm so glad I met Kirsten! I can't think of a better place to leave my dog. Snoop has separation anxiety, but Kirsten and her family did everything to make him feel comfortable. She also sent me pictures every day. I definitely recommend her service!! thanks again!”
“My puppy had so much fun with Greg and Julie! They treated him so well while I was away for a week and sent pictures and updates. I will definitely check with them again if I need someone.”
“Cay was completely awesome. Truly exceeded my expectations with the updates, pictures, and videos. He was patient and took excellent care of my boy. Highly recommend Cay! If I could give him 10 stars I would!!”

Gina was wonderful! Rory had such a good time staying with her. Lots of snacks and walks. It was really hot the week she was there, and Gina did a great job making sure she was comfortable and not over-exerting herself on their walks. Very thankful for all the cute photos and updates throughout the week as well. I'll 100% be reaching out in the future to get Gina to watch Rory again!
This is the second time Ane has watched our dog, Charlie, and we honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else. Charlie absolutely loves her, and it’s clear that he feels safe and comfortable in her care. We always have peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Ane also sends regular updates, photos, and videos, which we truly appreciate. It makes being away from Charlie so much easier. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Eda was great! Our dogs can be anxious and high energy at times and she did so well with both of them! She texted everyday with updates and pictures so I always knew how they were doing. She has an awesome fenced yard that my dogs could run, sniff, and play in. Would definitely recommend and use her again!
Alexandria was fantastic! I got consistent updates and photos letting me know how Ripley was doing. Even with the crazy heat wave, she made sure that my pet had plenty of time outside in the morning/evening and had lots of water! She is super dedicated and trustworthy.
George took such great care of our dog, Lola, during a 3 week boarding stay. This was the longest we’ve ever been away from her, so we were nervous at first, but George made us feel at ease from day one. He consistently sent thoughtful updates with lots of photos and videos, along with detailed messages that helped us feel connected to Lola while we were away. He was proactive about asking questions instead of making assumptions, which showed how much he genuinely cared about doing things the right way. When an unexpected situation arose, George handled it with incredible calm, responsibility, and professionalism. He was proactive and immediately kept us informed every step of the way, followed our vet’s care instructions carefully, rearranged his evening, stayed up late to make sure Lola was comfortable, and truly went above and beyond to care for her. We couldn’t have asked for someone more attentive or dedicated during a stressful situation. It’s clear that George genuinely loves the dogs he cares for and treats them like his own. We are so grateful for the time, effort, and compassion he showed Lola, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. We highly recommend George to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly invested in their pet’s wellbeing.
Lori was absolutely awesome! We left our dog Jack with her for the first time for 14 days and he did great! He came back to us happy and healthy! Lori sent us pictures and updates every day. She followed all our directions and kept him comfortable and safe. We definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you Lori!
Que is amazing. My Jäger is large, high energy, smart, and a bit of a drama king. She was able to meet Jäger at his level (with what he's willing to do) and modify. He spent over a week with her and loved his time. She constantly sent me pictures. He even came back better behaved! We've definitely found Jäger's home away from home.
Amanda made the entire boarding process effortless and convenient for our family. We appreciated the option to have our dogs go to her house, in her environment, for a visit to see how they would acclimate to her space, which was open and inviting for our dogs. During the boarding, Amanda sent daily photo and text updates, which was so kind! We felt our dogs were well cared for and that their routines were maintained in our absence. We’re so grateful for Amanda’s excellent care!

There are 2,018 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Garner. About 93% of Garner sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
