“Hannah was so awesome and went above and beyond to make our golden doodle happy. We have a tall 60 lb dog and he got to run and play and rest- just what he needed. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cinthia and Fernando. They took great care of our puppy, Zizou, and kept us updated with tons of pictures and videos. It made a huge difference seeing how happy and comfortable he was. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”
“Holly was an amazing host. Our 10 month old doodle was well cared for and happy. Holly shared daily updates and was always available whenever I texted. I really appreciate Holly's whole family for taking such great care of Gus.”
“Maribel was so flexible with us and treated our anxious pup like he was her own baby! We had to change plans at last minute and she welcomed Charlie with open arms. She was so wonderful with him and we are so appreciative of her!”
“This was the first time we left our dog with Stephanie and Matthew and it was for a 5-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were away, we were naturally a bit nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, the environment was incredibly warm, welcoming, clean and spacious, giving our dog plenty of room to feel right at home. It was clear from the daily updates that Ollie was receiving top-notch care and exercise every single day. We loved getting the pictures and comments daily—it truly brightened our trip and showed us just how well cared for and happy our dog was. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating Ollie like family!”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Nelcy was an excellent sitter for our lab. She loved on her and cared for her like she was her own. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again!”
About: Hello! I have been pet sitting for 5 years, either staying overnight or just stopping by! I absolutely love watching doggies and helping out when I can. I am able to do whatever you need, I will feed, walk, bathe, etc. i absolutely love meeting new fur babies!! I currently am a student at high point university, majoring in biology. Most of my schedule consists of classes that are about an hour long with hour breaks in between each class. I have a part-time job hosting, only 2 days a week at night time. I am able to take dogs out on a leash, let them out in a yard, crate them, or whatever the plan may be. I can also walk them and pick up after them if preferred! I will give them lots of love and make sure they are comfortable.
About: i’ve taken care of every kind of dog since i was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have counted on me to walk, feed, and bathe their beloved pets. I’m currently in school for dog training Pet care is part of my everyday life as a dog mom of 3. I’m used to caring for all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit walks, drop-ins, and extra attention into my day. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet will always be in reliable, experienced hands with me! In my home, pets get plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and a clean, comfortable space to relax. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. If I’m in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their pet’s environment calm, familiar, and stress-free. I always give lots of attention, positive reinforcement, and gentle structure. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, cared for, and at home, wherever they are.
“Jared was very friendly to my English Bulldog while I was out of town. This was my dog’s first time having someone else watch him. He sent me an update and pics to let me know he was doing ok. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Christina saved me! She boarded my pups so I could take an unexpected trip out of town! She was kind and caring to my girls and I was so nervous because my dogs are usually only at our home- I don't board them often! I will use her again! Even though my dogs were energetic, she and her family (especially her kids) seemed to really love on them. Thank you, Christina! Sorry, I am just writing a review, busy crazy life!”
“First time I used Lindsey for a very short notice overnight business trip. She took great care with my two senior dogs and clearly was concerned with their special needs. I will certainly use her again and highly recommend!”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of my pomeranian during boarding. She kept up with all of his special care instructions and grooming needs. I can tell she genuinely loves dogs and is very experienced in caring for them. My little guy had the best time staying with Rebecca and her family! Absolutely recommend 🥰”
“She was fantastic! She was able to pick my dogs up from my wedding, was flexible with my schedule, and took amazing care of my dogs! I would definitely have her dog sit again!!”
“Tonja and her husband were very attentive and caring to my senior dog who has separation anxiety. They took him on frequent walks, and were in constant contact with me over the three days he boarded with them. I recommend them wholeheartedly! Capri Foy”

“First time using Rover. It was a great experience, it’s never easy leaving a pet in the hands of someone else. Grace seemed to do well with Rebecca and her family. I would recommend her!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gum Tree
We were nervous leaving our babies for 10 days (longest to date) - luckily Chris and Rachelle were great. They offered a meet and greet which helped put our minds at ease, and were communicative throughout the whole stay (+ following specific instructions to get one of the girls to eat). Thank you both!!
Christopher and Rachelle did a AMAZING job taking care of our 8 week puppy Kobe. They were very friendly and engaging. Loved that they sent messages, photos, and videos of our sweet boy! We missed him so much. He had so much fun staying with them for a whole week. We will definitely recommend them for your pet sitting and care. Thanks again guys!
Being new to the area, we were looking for someone to board our older Golden Retriever during a night away. We found Christopher and Rachelle to be attentive and sweet caretakers, i felt he was in good hands. At the meet and greet they made sure our dog mixed well with theirs as well as asking about any other special needs requests. They are at the top of our list when we need to board again.

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 Gum Tree home-away-from-home, 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 Tree.
<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 Gum Tree 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 , 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 .
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.
