“Susan and her daughters were amazing with our two dogs! I received 15-20 photos a day plus additional videos. The girls looked happy and very well taken care of. They even came home smelling free and clean! Will for sure use in the future and recommend to anyone!”
“Alison and Rick were so great with my sweet Grace and their dogs were wonderful and played with Grace. They adapted quickly with her and I feel so relieved as Grace is such a social dog and needs this kind care, play and love. Thank you from the bottom my heart, Alison and Rick!”
“We left our very anxious dog, Judo, with Sarah and Erik for 2 weeks while we went out of state for our wedding. She can really struggle with new people and men, but she warmed up well (it took a few days but that’s just Judo)! I got many updates, pictures, and videos all showing me that Judo was having a good time. I could not have picked anyone better to watch her. She got along great with their dog, Rosie, who was happy to play or just hang out! I would absolutely have Judo stay with them again.”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Gunner this past weekend and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated! It was so nice knowing he was in great hands while I was away. Gunner had such a great time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
“Irina and her husband had our husky over the weekend for the 4th of July and did an amazing job taking care of her. Even took her out for a hike. Thank you both! Happy to have found Luna a caring couple to leave her with when we need to.”
“Michael was very accommodating and Ralph was very well taken care of. I was able to relax and enjoy our getaway knowing my fur-baby was in great hands. Michael gave updates and was able to give medication and keep Ralph on his usual schedule. Couldn’t be happier! Cynthia”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Frances! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and kind from start to finish. Our pups absolutely loved her — she gave them so much attention, sent us regular updates with photos, and made sure they stayed on their routine while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”

“Evan and Nancy are the best. I don’t have to worry about my dog while he’s there and it shows that he loves spending time with them. I will always recommend them without any hesitation.”
“Amanda was the absolute BEST care giver to my Beagle Beau. We had never left him before with anyone, and Amanda welcomed him in as her own. Her and her family were so welcoming, kind, attentive and they truly understood our need to feel confident and safe leaving Beau with her....she absolutely outdid all expectations. Will definitely be having Beau stay with Amanda again and again.”
“I don’t have enough words to thank Gabriel and Sara for taking such great care of my puppy while we were away! They treated Calleri as their own and truly made him feel like part of their family. You could tell they cared about him and followed all of the instructions we gave them, especially regarding his feeding and nap times. They have great communication and sent us lots of pictures, videos and regular updates, which gave us peace of mind to enjoy our trip knowing that Calleri was in great hands. They were also very flexible with the drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated! Their puppy Charlie is the sweetest! He and my puppy got along so well! Charlie is such a friendly, playful and gentle dog and I was so happy that Calleri had a companion to play with all the time while we were away. I’ve tried a few different dog sitters in the Charlotte area before and I have to say that Gabriel and Sara ARE THE BEST! They truly went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend them and will be booking again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet girl, Luna! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in the best hands. Claudia, her husband, and even her parents treated Luna like she was part of their own family. She was safe, loved, and had so much fun playing, when she was picked up, she was happy and relaxed. It was her own vacation. Finding someone who provides that kind of genuine care and attention is so rare, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found Claudia. If she’s available, she will be the only sitter we trust to care for Luna from here on out. Highly recommend, almost want to keep her as a secret.”
“She did great with my puppy husky. She's knowledgeable about dogs. Most of all she communicates with you everyday about your pet, so you'll know how he's doing. I will definitely keep her as my dog sitter from now on.🙂”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - High Shoals
Susan and her family took such wonderful care of our greyhound Misu for almost two weeks. This was our first time leaving her with someone outside of family, so we were a little nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. We also loved receiving daily pictures and videos. Misu came home happy and healthy. Highly recommend!

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.
96% of sitters in High Shoals 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 High Shoals 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 High Shoals.
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 High Shoals. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 High Shoals 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.
