“Abigail and her family have been amazing with my 2 girls! She is super communicative and made sure she knew everything about the girls before the start date. The girls always come home happy and tired, and Abigail always sends pictures of all the fun they have. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely amazing always kept me updated with pictures and videos, and my dogs looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Karen did an amazing job keeping up with us through photos about his walks, down time and eating while at Karen's home. Asher was fed our food and Karen stayed with our schedule for him. Karen likes dogs and asked me questions prior to sitting Asher. I would hire Kkaren again, she did a superb job with him and Asher looked happy at pick up..”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, Fedex and bathe their pets. I grew up with dogs my whole life and currently have 2 of my own. I am currently staying at home so I am available all day everyday to care for your fur babies! Just let me know how often they need walked, fed, let outside, etc. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have 2 loving dogs to keep yours company! We have a huge yard in the country.
“Samantha did a great job taking care of Mia for a whole week. She was even able to feed Mia her farmers dog food three times a day. She took Mia for walks and kept her separate from much larger dogs. Mia loved her visit. She also showed us pictures of Mia throughout the day. We felt so much better during our vacation knowing Mia was in good hands.”
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.
“This was my 1st time using Rover. It was good working w/ Kristin and her husband, Alex. They communicated well and sent pictures and video while my dog was there. My dog seemed content! I would definitely use them again! Thank you, Kristin & Alex.”
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.
“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!”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were pretty nervous to leave our dogs with a stranger! We have two fur babies and one of them has extreme anxiety and has trouble in larger boarding facilities so we have been looking for other options. We met Brittany and she was so sweet, sent so many photos and videos, even made them homemade treats!”

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.

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.
