“Susan and her family were great with Raven. Her girls played games with her and they all gave her a lot of love😍Susan sent lots of pictures and videos also. I would definitely use her again!”
“From the first few minutes of meeting Alison and Richard, we knew they were loving, caring people who would take great care of our boy. Griffin had an absolute BLAST during his stay! I got updates and pictures every day and felt so at ease. He loves Wrigley and Sunny (the perfect play mates and leaders for him), and so do we! We will continue to ask Alison and Richard to watch Griffin for as long as they let us :) I highly recommend anyone use them if they are looking for a fun, caring, home environment for their dog- and stress free for owners- while they are away.”
“Deborah and Ronald are amazing!! Once again they kept my pups, one had just gotten her second knee surgery and had lots of medication to take and is SUPER picky at eating her meds. They took care of her without a problem! My pups were so excited to see them, as soon as I opened the door of the car, they jumped out and headed straight into their house!”
“Nancy and her family took great care of Albus! We did a meet and greet in advance because our pup has bad anxiety but he immediately felt comfortable with her and her family. We look forward to boarding him with them again! Highly recommend.”
“Ginia and her family were so great in caring for Gerty. They sent regular updates and photos. When I picked up Gerty I could tell she was genuinely happy and completely exhausted, which is the best assurance I could’ve asked for! I would absolutely use Ginia again. Book with confidence!”
“Jessica was so great with our dog for five nights. Kept us updated with pictures and videos daily. Our dog had a blast playing with her two pups! She has a large fenced in back yard that worked well for our energetic dog. Would highly recommend booking with Jessica!”
“Brad sent me lots of pictures of my pups having fun with Brad, his wife, and their two pups. I think they were having more fun than I was having while I was out of town. I recommend Brad and would definitely use him again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's part of my daily life. My family homestead is home to dogs, cats, and a thriving garden, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes naturally to me. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. Unlike traditional kennels, pets enjoy a comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have a large fenced area for safe outdoor time and exercise, as well as multiple levels within my home that allow me to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet loves to socialize or prefers a quieter space to relax, I can create an environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so their stay feels as close to home as possible. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout your pet's stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I'm a teacher currently home for the summer, spending my days building our family homestead. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily routine, from tending to our dogs and cats, to working in the garden and enjoying life outdoors. Because I'm home and actively caring for my own animals throughout the day, welcoming boarding pets into my home feels like a natural extension of the life I'm already living. I have a fenced yard, lots of room indoors, and multiple levels to give pets the quiet or fun they desire. I have routines to care for our animals and will be glad to follow whatever your pet is used to!
“10000/10 would recommend Francis for pet sitting. We scheduled her for a week when I was expecting my baby and life happens and I needed a few days earlier. Francis was 100% willing to working with us and accommodate us dropping him of early and being flexible with the pick up time. She sent multiple updates per day and worked with our nervous nelly of a dog to get him comfortable walking the neighborhood.”
“Jamie was awesome! She sent updates and photos daily and she made sure to give my energetic pup a lot of exercise. I could tell my boy was well taken care of and enjoyed his stay. I highly recommend Jamie and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Katie is so sweet! Her family played with Tucker all day long, and she sent lots of pictures. They have a big yard and it was great to have Tucker in that kind of area. I felt at ease with Katie the whole time!”
“Yelena is incredible! She took great care of our very stressed dog, who is not used to being away from us. Yelena sent us photos and videos daily to make sure we knew that our dog was ok. Yelena is wonderful and I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Krissa is a great sitter. She gives individualized care to the dogs she cares for. Her house is set up perfectly for pets. She is a great communicator and sent me pictures and updates everyday. I will definitely book again”
“Monique was an amazing sitter for my diva dog, Lulu. She was so warm and friendly during our meet & greet. She was extremely patient and loving with Lulu's quirks. I loved the pictures and communication she sent during Lulu's stay. Thank you Monique, we will definitely reach out again in the future!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Iron Station sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Iron Station landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Iron Station 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 Iron Station.
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.
You and your Iron Station 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.
