“My sister-in-law and I left our dogs with her for two days. When we picked them up they were happy and got to meet new friend dogs and a cat. Anna has dogs of her own and cat and all got together to be one happy family. Our dogs must have had some fun together because they were tired when we got home. Was a great experience.”
“Lauren came to the rescue for a last minute trip! This was our first time using Rover and she was such a jewel. She sent lots of sweet pictures of our Stormie! He looked happy and it was such an ease to drop him off and pick him up! I highly recommend Lauren!”
“I truly cannot put into words how amazing Evie and Fritz are as dog sitters. My dog, Bean, absolutely adores them, which was very evident from all the photos they sent of her cuddling with them and playing with them and the other pups at their house. I’m so happy I found them and will be bringing Bean here any time I need a sitter. Thank you, Evie and Fritz!!”
“Mar and her family took wonderful care of Poppy while we were away for a week! Mar was very responsive when we needed to adjust our dates, and she sent lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. Poppy got lots of walks and playtime with their dog, Togo. We would definitely use them again!”
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! My rabbit Jeff had the time of his life with Amber and seems rather disappointed now to be back home with us. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“"Karla is heaven-sent! Leaving my dog with her gave me total peace of mind the entire time I was away. She sent daily updates, cute photos, and videos that made my day. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Agus was very tuned into my older dog’s needs. She had not stayed away from our house in a long time, and she came home happy and in great shape. Harry Potter was a sweet buddy for her.”
“Katrin is so good with my anxious Wes. She’s super communicative with me, always sending pics & vids. She even added in an extra day of care when my flight got delayed.”
“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.”
“Oh my gosh!!! My 2 girls had a blast - and I received many pictures throughout our trip to prove it !!!! Our "terror" lab puppy had a hot spot (yep that's our Gracie) and Marilyn was right on top of it with notifications and treatment plan - wow I was so impressed. Awesome pet sitter !!!!!!”
“Our dog loved staying with Ashley! She had the perfect house for our pup with a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for her to run around. Ashley provided timely updates and pictures where our pup looked very happy to be there. I would definitely recommend Ashley and plan to have her watch our dog again!”
“Emily and William did a wonderful job caring for Bill while we were away! They sent lots of updates, kept him active, and made sure he felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“David is a wonderful sitter. My dogs were well cared for, and he took them for an extra hike which they loved. He sent me pictures and updates to let me know how they were doing. My dogs are happy to visit David anytime!”
“Bruna was so friendly and great with my dog. She was very accommodating and I felt like she was the perfect sitter. Our booking was a little last minute and I really appreciate her for making every step of booking her easy and stress free. She updated us daily and was a great communicator. Def would rebook again. Thank you so much!”
“We are so happy we picked Amanda to look after Grizzly for a week. Grizzly had plenty of play time with her other dogs. Amanda provided us updates while we were away. She definitely treated Grizzly as one of her own.”
“Amy was wonderful! We have a rescue dog who is very nervous initially. Amy let us come over prior to boarding to sniff around and help our pup feel more comfortable. Bella is also notoriously not a big fan of other female dogs but by the end of the weekend was playing with the other gals! Thank you Amy!”
“Debbie did an amazing job with our Shih Tzu, Major!! She sent us several pictures and videos of Major and kept us updated on how he was doing throughout his stay with her. He is very kind and caring with her furry clients.🐶 We highly recommend her and are already planning to to book her again soon.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Haw River
Tara (and Kevin) did a spectacular job of caring for Brandy, once again. We left her for an overseas trip without a worry that Brandy would feel right at home and would receive a lot of special attention. Tara sent some pictures of Brandy snuggling up with the family which we enjoyed immensely.
Judy took such great care of Haven while I was traveling. Haven clearly enjoyed her stay, and I could tell she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her time with Judy. I am grateful for the love, attention and excellent care. Thank you, Judy, for treating Haven like one of your own!

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.
94% of sitters in Haw River 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 Haw River 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 Haw River.
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 Haw River. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Haw River 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.
