“She was so great! She clearly enjoyed having our dogs around and they looked like they had a blast! I highly recommend her. She was easy to communicate with and coordinate drop off/pick up.”
“Evan was fantastic with Jefe for his overnight stay. He was extremely communicative, friendly, and welcoming from the start, and he has an incredible farm property with plenty of space for Jefe to explore and enjoy himself. Evan sent updates throughout Jefe’s stay, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. His dog was also incredibly welcoming and seemed to make Jefe feel right at home. Jefe came home happy, relaxed, and absolutely exhausted from his time on the farm. He slept incredibly well that night, which is probably the best review he could give. We had a great experience with Evan and would absolutely trust him with Jefe again.”
“Erin did a wonderful job watching Islay while we were out of town! I appreciated regular updates and Islay seemed very happy and well taken care of. Erin was also flexible and helpful when our flights got delayed! We would definitely book with Erin again in the future.”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
“Awesome sitter! Definitely will book again in the future. Compared to most sitters, I could definitely tell from pictures of his stay that my pup was much happier with Miyu! She was able to provide him with the perfect amount of attention.”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with Mavis! This was a stay of over a week, and I immediately felt at ease knowing Mavis was in good hands. Amber was willing to take Mavis even though it was her first time being away from me and she was still working through some anxiety as a recent rescue. Amber went above and beyond to make sure Mavis was happy, comfortable, and having fun—from trips to the dog park to letting her sleep on the bed with Amber and her two sweet dogs, Tootsie & Gilly. Mavis got along amazingly with both of them! Amber was also incredibly communicative, sending pictures every day and responding quickly to messages. I would absolutely recommend Amber (and Tootsie & Gilly!) and will definitely book with her again whenever Mavis needs a sitter. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! ❤️”
“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.”
“Lateria was very friendly and knowledgeable of dogs. We appreciated the meet and greet with her and her pup prior to our dog boarding. She sent routine photo/video updates which was reassuring.”
“This was my first time using Rover (boarding) and Randy took such great care of Marnie! I work late hours, but he was very accommodating and responsive. He sent photos of her so I was assured she was doing great. I would definitely trust Randy again with Marnie!”
About: I have a wide variety of animal care experience: -Taking care of my own dog for 10 years -Fostering rescue dogs for 1 year -Performing drop in visits and walking services for neighbors for 8 years (for cats and dogs) -Living in Alaska and caring for a team of 30+ sled dogs I work a part-time online job with flexible hours. I can arrange my schedule around your pets’ needs! I am an near daily swimmer, cyclist, and hiker, so I’m always happy to include your animal into my active lifestyle, should you and they be interested. I have a fenced backyard that has plenty of mowed grass for dogs to play fetch, run around, or lay in the sun or shade. When visiting other homes, I will be very respectful of your space. As such I would encourage that we organize a meet and greet beforehand so that we both feel comfortable with the arrangement!
“Julia did an amazing job caring for our dog, Nova! She sent lots of pictures and was accommodating when we needed an extra day due to a delayed flight. Our dog is anxious and Julia did everything she could to make her comfortable and calm. I highly recommend Julia and would love to have her watch our dog again!”
“Teresa was kind and accommodating, especially with our last minute request for a sitter! She took great care of our furbaby as evidenced by the happy demeanor of the regular photo updates and status. Our furbaby was instantly at ease with Teresa and we could tell that she would be treated just like she was her own. Highly recommend Teresa! 5 🐾 rating!”
“Keon did a great job sitting our Cherry, sending us regular photo and video updates. We’re thrilled that Cherry felt right at home and was so happy and cheerful. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely book with him again!”
“Vanessa and her family were great with my dog Oakley. She loved her stay there and for a dog that can be apprehensive in new environments she fit right in from the start. The pictures and updates were great. Oakley loved the backyard and playing with her friends there. Would highly recommend Vanessa. My pup was very well cared for throughout her stay.”
“Cathy was so patient with my anxious senior boy. She went at his pace and you could physically see in her photos how much more relaxed he was the longer he was with her. She took thorough notes and I trust her wholeheartedly with him. I will 100% be using her services again!”

Srehita was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took amazing care of my baby while I was traveling; always updating, taking cute pics and saying kind things about her. She was flexible with drop off and pick up and was so sweet and helpful to me, being new to the area. I can’t wait to book with her again!
Dylan was so amazing with B.K.!! Upon meeting my dog got along with his dog, and Dylan was very welcoming allowing B.K. To settle in and answer all of my questions!! Unfortunately due to some flight delays we needed to make a few adjustments, and Dylan was beyond accommodating ensuring peace of mind in wonderful care for B.K. through that difficult time! Definitely book Dylan if you want a kind, caring pet sitter and an amazing doggie friend for your pet to hang out with during their stay! Thank you, Dylan!! Would definitely book again! Thank you!! 🌟
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.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Gorman 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 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gorman. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
