“Marilyn and her family were amazing. My pup can be nervous around other dogs, but Marilyn set up the environment for Ruby to feel comfortable and come out of her shell a bit and show her goofy side. We received so many pictures, videos, and stories of our sweet girl, we passed the phone around and laughed with full hearts. I am so happy to have found Marilyn and will be eager to book her the next time we are traveling.”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“We had a great experience with Camila and Lino! They kept our 9 month old puppy and communication was easy, pleasant and timely. They sent us the photos and updates throughout the week and went above and beyond to meet our girl’s need. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Teri is amazing, she took such good care of Ollie, he looked so happy when we picked him up. Teri sent us video and pics he warmed up with Teri in just a few hours, that is very unusual for him. Teri was able to trick him int taking his medicine, also difficult. Thank you Teri for taking such good care of but m while we attended our daughter’s wedding in Durham!”
“Our dog had such a good time with Amy! There was a fenced in yard and a nice screen porch for her to chill in. Any is clearly an expert and managed our dog’s issues so that there wasn’t conflict with the other dogs. Amy and her mom are both sweethearts and Amy sent the sweetest pup-dates! It’s clear that both Amy and her kids love dogs and that this house is a safe and fun space for dogs to be in. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Rufus had the best time with Lauren! She sent us lots of pictures throughout his stay and was quick to respond whenever we got in touch. We were grateful for the yard she had for the dogs to run around in and play. While no issues arose, we were confident that she would be able to take care of anything as needed. Rufus can't wait to come back!”
“Thank you so much Olivia for taking care of Copper while we were on vacation! It was obvious he had an amazing time and it was great to receive updates/pictures of him. The care you guys took to ensure he felt comfortable and safe meant a lot to us.”
“Lady had a wonderful time playing at Aubrey's house! Aubrey was available to talk to me and responded quickly whenever I texted her. She even sent me pictures! Thanks so much Aubrey - we will definitely be using her again! :)”
“I always dread having to travel without my dog, but with Bruna I have complete peace of mind that my pup will be loved and very well cared for. Whenever he sees me pick up his travel bag he gets so excited because he knows he’s going for another visit! Bruna is very thorough when it comes to getting a clear picture of your dog’s routines, she is responsive, she sends extremely cute photos, and she has been accommodating to times where I’ve had to shift the pickup time last minute due to a delayed flight. I really don’t think I could ask for much more, thank you Bruna <3”
“Dave was extremely reliable and communicative before and during our boarding stay. He always replied to messages within minutes and was very kind and responsive to all of our questions as anxious dog parents and first time Rover users. His place has a large and securely fenced yard where our dog had lots of space to play. We would definitely recommend Dave and look forward to bringing our pup back to him for future stays!”
“We were very pleased w the entire experience. We, with our two dogs, met Evan in advance to make sure everyone was comfortable and at that point I knew we were in good hands. Our babies had so much fun running around on a farm Happily recommend Evan.”
“Very happy with Chelsey and David and their care for our pup, Mallory! We have used their services for daycare dropoff and a longer, multiple night trip. They are flexible with dropoff and pickup times, and are enthusiastic about having Mal around. Their dog, Athena, is a fun play pal for Mal and Chelsey and David are conscientious about monitoring playtime and giving the dogs a break when needed. They send pics and videos of Mal's time there which is a plus given being away from your doggo can be a bit stressful (for you and them)! I feel that Mal is happy and safe while in their care and that makes my dog mom heart super thankful :)”
“My toy poodle had an amazing time with Anitra! She paid attention to his previous injuries and carefully administered meds as I requested while giving him all the love and attention. She also sent photos and videos each day so I can see how he was doing while I was away.”
“Ravon took fantastic care of our senior pup. She gave her so much love and attention!! She made sure to fully understand her dietary and exercise needs, which we really appreciate. Ravon definitely provided a safe, home-away-from-home for our girl. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and was very very responsive. We would absolutely book with Ravon again!”
“Although she only watched my dog for a short time, I feel that Jade‘s really took very good care of him. Almost as much as I would. She was very communicative and sent me pictures and always kept me up-to-date on how he was doing. I will definitely book with her again the next time I am in Durham.”
“They took great care of our dog, Aries. Got updates and pictures throughout his stay. He got lots of cuddles and walks, and came home looking very happy. Will definitely use them again!”
“Krystina is amazing! My dog always gets SO excited to spend time with Krystina and loves his playdates with her dog! She is always on top of his meds, attentive to our dog, and communicates well with how our dog is doing and shares pictures regularly. I always know my dog is in great hands with Krystina, I highly recommend her for any services! She is the best! We’re moving out of state but wish we could take her with us for future sitting needs!”
“Tracy is very responsive and takes excellent care of Charlie. He had a great time at her place once again! We will continue to use Tracy as a pet sitter in the future when our schedules align.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gorman
We are very happy with the care that Marilyn provided our dog, Archer. Marilyn provides multiple updates and pictures each day, and it was obvious that Archer was having a great time playing with her family and the other dogs. I always felt like I knew what he was doing and how he was getting along. Five stars for sure!
Camila & Lino are a lovely couple who are very much dedicated to caring for the animals they host. Our dog recently went blind and we sought out someone that would provide personalized care during our 6 night vacation. They met all of his special needs, communicated with us regularly and provided plenty of pictures so we could see how he was doing. We will definitely use them whenever needed going forward.
Romel & Carolina were absolutely fantastic with Paisley! This is the second time Paisley has stayed with them, and they sent great updates throughout her stay. It was so clear that she was well taken care of. We could really tell how much they genuinely care about her. This was easily one of the best stays Paisley has ever had, and we already have our next booking with them lined up!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Gorman home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Gorman.
<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 Gorman 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.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
