“Carol was a great sitter! I love that Winston had another friend to play with, who also happens to be named Winston :) She sent pictures and updates, which put me at ease while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her to others looking for a sitter!”
“This was my pup’s first time staying anywhere outside of home & my parents’ house, and I boarded him for a week. Karina made my little Brixx feel right at home, & provided me with frequent updates so I was able to feel at ease while on vacation. I think Brixx enjoyed himself & would love to go back.”
“Tara was wonderful and did an amazing job keeping my fur baby! I booked an extended pet stay (14 days) with Tara. Prior to my drop off day, she responded quickly to any questions I had, even reminding me of things to be sure to pack and asking confirmation of my pet’s feeding, potty and sleeping schedule/routines. On the day of drop off, I loved Tara’s home from first sight. She has the house setup for the dogs to roam and be comfortable. She also has a fenced in backyard for outdoor exercise and play. While I was away, Tara did a great job in providing photos, videos and status updates on my pet daily activities, eating and play time, which allowed me to travel peacefully. I wasn’t worried at all. When I returned from my trip, my pet was healthy and happy. I will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Tara for a job well done!”
“She took such great care of my baby boy, always sent pictures and videos to let me know he’s doing well! I will absolutely be bringing him back to relax in his new home with his new friends :)”
“London and family were great ! My dog had some unexpected stress issues at first and they were willing to try multiple things to make him feel better and cared for . I am very grateful for them to have taken him in and would recommend them to everyone! Great communication and pictures/video that assured me he was doing great .”
“Lovely family! Monica and her son were so kind and patient with Kevin. Our initial meet-and-greet ended quickly because Kevin didn’t seem to get along with one of their dogs at first, but Monica’s son encouraged us to come back and give the dogs more time to get comfortable with each other. I really appreciated that, because Kevin ended up having a great stay based on the photos and updates I received. I’m very happy with the care they gave him, especially since they were able to take him last minute. Thank you again!”
“Brent was a great puppy sitter and host for our dog Finn! He had plenty of apace and kept a good awareness of the dogs staying at his house. We are very grateful for his kind dog sitting.”
“Deborah was great- we did a meet and greet so I got to see the place and she took notes on anything important for their care. While they stayed with her she sent updates and pics and they seemed to have a great time with her! She’s also got a doggy door so pups can come/go as they please to play outside in the fenced backyard”
“I had an excellent experience with Yuanbo! They took amazing care of my dog and kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated my dog like family. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly appreciate their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my furry family member!”
“This is our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Kathy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Oreo. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, and provided consistent updates and pictures throughout his stay. We hope to utilize her in the future, and would definitely recommend her services.”
“Dayana was an incredible host! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She loves pups and it shows. Maeve is only 5 months old and she was very communicative about her behaviour and very flexible with needs. I’m really glad I found her through Rover and will definitely bring Maeve back when needed.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dog just turned one and we had boarded her at a commercial facility and a home atmosphere appealed to us as an alternative so we tried it out. Alyssa and Spencer are fantastic. We met with them beforehand just to ease our concerns and the weekend went so well that we rebooked for two more trips this summer. We highly recommend them!”
“Erika was a wonderful sitter! We had planned on boarding but switched last minute. She accepted and was available for a meet and greet. We got pictures and updates daily. We would definitely book with her again!! Chloe had a great time!”
“She is Amazing and will br our go to sitter when she is available to do so we received pictures and videos daily and she spoiled Jazz so much we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home! Definitely a great experience..”
“Nicholas maintained great communication and provided updatesthroughout the day. It was great speaking with him. He has our trust, 100%. I’d definitely recommend him to a friend.”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter. She was caring, attentive to our dogs’ needs, and great with communication. We would definitely have her take care of our fur babies again!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service! Our Mozzie was so well cared for and had so much fun with her other pups I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home 😉 Thank you Kim for loving our boy while we were gone. He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
