“We used Rachel to watch our new rescue dog Rocky for a weekend trip and couldn’t have been happier with her! Rocky is a bit anxious and still learning manners but seemed to do great in Rachel’s care. She provided updates throughout the weekend with photos and was very communicative which I loved! would highly recommend and use her again whenever we are out of town again.”

“She took great care of my 8-month-old puppy! She followed his schedule carefully, made sure he was well looked after, and sent frequent photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Mathias watched my girl Mia for about a week and a half and I’ve never seen her warm up to someone new so quickly! She had a great time with Mathias, Bodhie, and all the pups during her stay. Mathias was always prompt with responding, extremely friendly, and sent lots of pictures and updates making me feel extremely reassured while I was away. I will definitely be booking Mathias in the future!! Thank you so much!”

“Evan and his wife Nancy took great care for our Springer mix, Rosie. They sent pictures and let us know that she was doing well and getting along with their Springer. Communication was good, and they were flexible to let us pick Rosie up early.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and am a very proud dog owner today and love it! I currently have a Coonhound Great Pyrenees mix. He was a rescue as a puppy, and his name is Stinky! I specialize in younger hyper dogs and love taking long walks! I currently am work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am available before 9am and after 6pm Tues-Thurs. Can be available for early morning walks! I have an unfenced yard, but take my dog out for long walks daily and am prepared to take care of other pets as they need.
“Amber was excellent to deal with and our dog spent his time in her home rather than being stuck in a metal cage at a kennel. This was better for him and the sanity of "his humans". We won't hesitate to use Amber again in the future!”

“Eve was so sweet to get to know my dog. They are all different with their own personalities and our Molly has lately developed allergies so I made her food in advance in ziplocks. Eve was very good with walks and making Molly feel loved while we were away.”

“Ryan was a fantastic sitter for Patterson and Piper! From the meet and greet, to drop off, and pickup, he communicated well. Plus he captured great photos! Will definitely use his services again!”

“This was my first time using rover & Jazmine did not disappoint! She sent daily check-ins & loved my pup like her own. Staying with Jazmine is truly like a vacation for your furry friend. You’ll truly relax knowing your pup is happy with Jazmine!”

“We had such a great experience with Caitlin! This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving my dog Theo, but she made the entire process so easy and reassuring. She was very communicative throughout his stay and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. Most importantly, Theo seemed to have a wonderful time and was very comfortable with her. We’re so happy we found her and would definitely have Theo stay with her again!”


“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Of all the Rover sitters who have watched Piper, Danielle was by far the best with communication. She gave us just enough updates to know Piper was doing well, happy, and enjoying her stay without overdoing it. She made sure Piper got some nice little walks but also plenty of time to relax and feel comfortable. Thanks to Danielle’s communication, I never once worried about Piper while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking Danielle again soon!”

About: I have over 12 years of experience in dog care, with a strong background in grooming, vet assisting, training, and behavioral work. I’ve completed educational courses through colleges and attended numerous seminars and certification classes to deepen my knowledge. This hands-on experience, combined with formal training, has allowed me to work effectively with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background. With my experience in training and behavior modification, I can address a wide range of behavioral issues, ensuring dogs are well-mannered and comfortable in their environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling medical needs, ensuring each dog’s health is closely monitored. My grooming experience allows me to maintain their coats, keeping them clean, comfortable, and healthy. Above all, I approach every pet with respect, recognizing their unique needs and preferences. I take pride in being responsible and reliable, offering a safe and loving environment while upholding the highest standards of care.
“We needed to find a dog sitter for our husky on fairly short notice. Tessa and Jared were willing and able to schedule a meet-and-greet and accepted the booking within a week. Our dog had a great time with them, and their pictures, videos, and messages put us at ease. They have a nice, big yard with a tall, secure fence for the dogs to play in. At one point, our dog stepped on something and had mild irritation on her paw, and Tessa sent us pictures, shared what she was doing to care for it, and kept us updated regularly. We felt like our dog was in very good hands with Tessa and Jared.”

“Daniella was great watching over my dog who can be challenging for those not up for the task. She communicated frequently and sent pictures daily. Iverson seemed very comfortable at her place!”

“Allison goes above and beyond as a sitter every single time. My dog, who definitely can be challenging at times feels right at home at her house. I appreciate her and all of the updates we get!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Gunner this past weekend and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated! It was so nice knowing he was in great hands while I was away. Gunner had such a great time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Natalie always does such a phenomenal job with my pup! She gets lots of walks and attention! Natalie is very communicative and flexible, which has been so helpful with my chaotic job.”

There are 2,331 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gastonia. About 92% of Gastonia 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
