She sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which made it so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for he was. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Kobe and treated him like one of her own. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter. I'll definitely book with her again!”
“Amelia and Grant were absolutely awesome! From the moment I dropped off my dog Anna, I could tell she was in great hands. They were warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Anna looked so happy and comfortable in every update they sent, and she came home relaxed and well cared for. It's such a relief to know she's in such loving hands when I'm away. Highly recommend Amelia and Grant – we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
“I was kind of nervous about leaving my sweet Lou Lou with them, since her brother passed, but she was so comfortable and happy during her stay. Tonya sent me daily updates and pics, which I truly appreciated. It really eased my anxiety and warmed my heart. I’ll definitely be contacting her when I travel again! Tonya and her family are so amazing! Highly recommend!”
“We’ve had Joshua and Audrey watch our dog Roger multiple times now, and they always take such good care of him and send lots of pictures! Roger is always excited to be back to hang out with them and their dogs. I always know he’s in great hands with them. :)”
“Florence was amazing. Reina felt immediately at home. Even with Florence experiencing an emergency, she was able to accommodate us. I really appreciate her for keeping the stay considering. Will for sure use Florence and Co. again for my dog boarding needs! :)”

About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.
“Very commutative Send pictures Very fun going She did great with my lil brook for her first booking really appreciated the over communication with alexis!! She's the BEST 🥰 WILL book again thanks so much!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alexis took such great care of my baby boy, Blaze! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. She had excellent communication throughout his entire stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which meant so much to me. It was obvious that Blaze was well cared for, loved, and comfortable. I’m so grateful for the attention and care she gave him. I would absolutely book with Alexis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby. Thank you again, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of Blaze! 🐾💙”
“Katie was awesome, she sent pics of our little girl and let us know how she was doing during her stay. Franci has separation anxiety, but she did great during her stay at Katie's. Although she said that her dog Winston and Franci didn't play much, they did enjoy each other's company, they just stared at one another! Thanks Katie!”

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.
93% of sitters in Gastonia 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 Gastonia 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 Gastonia.
<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 Gastonia 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.

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.

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.
