“Clay was phenomenal from start to finish. Our crazy 16 month old lab looked so happy in the daily photos. Driving him home he looked truly depressed to go. From the minute we dropped him off my wife and I felt comfortable with our choice. Clayton is a man who knows dogs, understands them (and their owners), and most importantly - loves them. We won’t be going to anyone else if we ever need to board our pup again.”
“One of the best sitters we’ve had. Our dogs really enjoyed being in her home. I received many pictures and videos of them having a blast. 100% recommend booking her”
“Heidi is a wonderful pet sitter. Our old dog was treated very well during our week of traveling. She sent us photos and updates on a daily basis which was very comforting for us. Thank you Heidi, look forward to bringing our dog the next time.”
“We had a fantastic experience! Our fur baby is extremely anxious and had a great time. Christen communicated regularly and sent pictures. This is was first time using Roover and are so happy we chose Christen!”
“Halie was such a wonderful sitter for my dog, Joplin! My dog is very shy and struggles with anxiety, and Halie did a great job to make sure Joplin was comfortable during her stay. I was so worried about my girl, and Halie gave me plenty of updates to make sure she was ok!! I will definitely be using Halie’s services in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, watching small and medium dogs for friends and neighbors. Recently, I've been doing a lot more dog walking and love keeping pups active! I am also a big fan of cats—while I'm a little newer to feline care, I love their company and follow directions perfectly. I promise to treat your furry family members with the utmost love and attention. Because I have standard military weekends and holidays off, I am fully available for overnight boarding and full-time pet care from Friday through Sunday. During the week (Monday through Thursday), I am happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat care in the evenings once my workday ends. Your pet will get plenty of dedicated, reliable attention exactly when you need it most! I have a semi-fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, and my home is completely kid-free, ensuring a calm, quiet, and low-stress environment for your furry family member. I am also happy to crate your dog according to their usual routine if that is what you prefer or if they need a secure space to rest.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals from neonatal to senior care! I have background in veterinary medicine and in-home boarding and drop in dog walks. I go to school online full time but wanted to pick up a fun side job to earn some extra money and help have fun on the side! I have a huge backyard on over an acre. I have a dog who is eager to make new friends and an indoor cat playground for all the fur babies.
“Samantha and Christopher were absolutely amazing with my two GSDs! They took such wonderful care of them, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Every picture they sent showed both of my dogs looking happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which meant the world to me. My dogs have separation anxiety, so leaving them is never easy, but Samantha and Christopher made the entire experience so much less stressful. It was clear they were patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about making my pups feel safe and comfortable. I'm incredibly grateful for the love and care they gave my dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of my babies! ❤️”
“Jenna took exceptional care of my 17 year old Chihuahua. From the moment Brandy met Jenna, she was right at home. Jenna provided updates during Brandy's stay and Brandy enjoyed the fenced in yard and Jenna's pets. I highly recommend Jenna for your pet care needs. She is friendly, responsible anda great communicator.”
“Glory and her family were great with Penelope! I received lots of updates and pictures. In the pictures Penelope looked super happy. I can tell she enjoyed a being there and felt comfortable. Will definitely be booking again <3”
“Sarah is amazing!!! I contacted her a few days before Christmas for an immediate spot and she responded immediately. I took Coby over and she spent time with us to make sure Coby would be a good fit with her pets. She sent pictures and updates regularly. Coby was very well cared for and would have been happy to stay a few more days! Thank you Sarah!!!”
“Olivia was amazing! We left our 7m kitten with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and well taken care of. He absolutely loved staying with her! He got along so well with her male cat and even had fun with her two kids. Olivia was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and we could tell our kitten was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving care, handle special needs, and keep pets comfortable while keeping owners updated and reassured. My contract job just ended so I have a lot of time available to care for your pups and kitties. I love getting out and walking. When I visit a clients home, I care for their pets like my own making sure they have a good walk if they're a dog freshwater and food and snuggles.

“Brittany did a great job boarding our dog. She was available on short notice and on Thanksgiving. She sent pictures and gave us updates throughout. She cared for our dog like she was her own pet.”
About: I have a 1.5 y/o male Pyrenees. He spends the day outside in his Dog Run I built him (6.5 ft fence, 24x24) that’s connected to a closed in back porch (60x12) to get out of the sun. Dogs get walked 1-2 times a day and plenty of play! I work from 8-3 M-F. I take my dog on a walk 1-2 times a day and he spends the rest of the day in his dog run and playing with me. He loves having friends over! My dog, Hogan, gets multiple walks a day and training/play each night. He loves to be outside but when other dogs are around he loves to play with them. He’s a gentle giant though, and is very okay with not being rough.
“My cat Pumpkin feels very comfortable (sometimes too comfortable lol!!!) at Daniel's place. I have no worry about her well-being while I am on vacation. This is my second time that I boarded my cat with Daniel and I highly recommend Daniel. 🐕🐈🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gum Branch
Lannette was easy to work with and flexible with drop off when I ran into a delay. Communication was excellent, and she sent daily updates with a photo. Desiree was well-loved and taken care of, and we look forward to trusting Lanette and her famiky with our girl next time we need a sitter!
Savannah was great with my boy. First, I had to book her last minute due to my original sitter canceling and this was the holiday. Savannah ensured me things would be fine with my boy coming. Upon drop off,Savannah was prepared to receive my boy. She appeared comfortable and confident in taking care of Mav. Mav was at Savannah's home for almoat 2 weeks and I truly felt mentally at ease knowing he was with Savannah. She kept me updated and sent pictures. I'm truly grateful for Savannah and her own dog for allowing mt boy to visit with them.

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 Gum Branch 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 Gum Branch 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 Gum Branch.
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 Gum Branch. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 Gum Branch 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.
