“William is a very friendly guy, animal lover. He took care of my dog for a few days and make my dog feel like he was home. My dog enjoyed his stay and was taken care during his stay. William was very communicative. I definitely recommend him, and I know I will book with him again on my next trip. ☺️🐶”


“Jessica was awesome! She was very easy to communicate with, sending pictures and videos our our little pup. Being a puppy, we know he is a handful but she did a great job and we did not feel like he came home with bad habits. He had so much fun with her Golden and was definitely tired after the time there!!! Overall very pleased and definitely recommend to anyone who needs help!”


“Toro had such a great time with Carol and her pups. He got home somehow more calm than I left him. =) Will definitely be using Carol again in the future, she's fantastic!”



“Niko’s first time being “boarding” was with Olga and I was Super nervous! I communicated my concerns and she promptly responded back to me with no hesitation. She never made me feel bad for being worried or concerned. She was so nice and kind and after the first night, I didnt Even worry about Niko any more I was Able to enjoy my vacation. Olga sent plenty of pics and updates and let me know her entire household was loving my baby :) she made my first time sending Niko somewhere so easy and gave me peace of mind that he was in great hands.”


“Courtney was AMAZING. We left Schatzi with her for a week and she provided perfect care for our bubs! She messaged us each day with pictures, and informed us of how he was doing. I am so thankful to know our dog was taken care of while we were gone. I actually think Schatzi was sad to leave her side as well, he absolutely loved her. She has been our favorite sitter for him and would love to have her watch Schatzi again!”


“All I can say is WOW!!! We had to go out of town during all the bad weather and storms. They kept in touch with us before boarding our dog Jake. They had lost power due to the storms but still went ahead and said bring Jake over. Jake and their dog Rosie played in their backyard and went on walks, they sent pictures and videos of the dogs playing and just hanging out. We did not know how Jake would do with a little baby but both were fine. The baby finally warmed up to Jake on last day. All this time and no power. Picked up Jake Sunday morning he was sad to leave but was happy to come home. He is resting after all the excitement of being them. We will definitely use them again in future for boarding and will even explore daycare options with them. Thank you again for all that you did, it was very much appreciated.”


“Piper was amazing with my special needs Westiepoo, Willow! She took such wonderful care of her and I will not hesitate to use her whenever I have to travel and Willow can't go! Her westiepoo, Stella, is so sweet and was such a good buddy for my girl!!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, starting when I was just 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and those with special needs, and I’m comfortable giving medication when required. My fenced yard offers plenty of safe space for playtime, and I enjoy long walks to keep pets happy and healthy. Whether you need daily visits or overnight stays, I’ll ensure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and cared for. I’m available every day of the week, offering full flexibility to care for your pets whenever you need. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, weekends, or last-minute requests, your furry friend will always have my full attention and care. I have a secure fenced yard and one friendly beagle who loves meeting new friends. Safety is my priority — I can crate your dog if needed, follow any feeding or medication routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times.

About: I have had over ten years of experience taking care of and caring for dogs. I’ve worked with numerous shelters with dog walking and training. I have a professional dog training license. I also have a large backyard the dogs can run in. I can handle any dog no matter the size and have worked with behavioral issues with the dogs I am usually off weekends and some days. As long as I know the days in advance I can block off the time you need for me to watch your pup. I can offer pet walking and pet sitting. With my expertise and experience I know that I am one of your better sitters on this app. They will be well cared for in my care

“Vanessa was great with our dogs. Since her yard is smaller than what my dogs are used to, she took them for several walks including a park. We got a lot of rain while we were gone and Vanessa kept pups busy with puzzles called snuffle mats. Will definitely use her again”


“Hands down the best experience with Rover we’ve ever had! I’ve never been so excited to get pictures of all the activities my pup has done that day! She got tons of walks, made new friends, and got to swim! Melissa was a great communicator and I’m so excited to have found her on this app!”

Gastonia pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalia was wonderful! I had a sitter cancel last minute and Natalia came to the rescue. My dog Pixie seemed to love her at first sight which made me much more comfortable leaving her. I would not hesitate to book Natalia again and plan to do so in the very near future.

Audrey was a great setter. She was so nice and great with the updates. I could tell that my dog Coco loved her. Coco was so happy to come home. But not before saying goodbye to Audrey. So knowing that Coco loved Audrey. Was the best feeling and knowing that Coco felt safe. Was a good feeling. If i need a setter again i would not second guess asking Audrey again.

Tina took amazing care of my dog, Robin, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Tina made sure to keep me updated daily with pictures and videos, which was incredibly reassuring. Robin, who is usually shy and nervous around new people, warmed up to Tina surprisingly quickly. It was clear that Tina was patient and gentle, as Robin soon became happy and playful under her care. Tina’s dedication and love for animals really stood out, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Robin and I are both so grateful for her!
