“Abby really enjoyed her time with Susan and her family and I felt completely comfortable that she was well taken care of. From the pictures and the videos we received it was clear Abby was getting the love and exercise she needs. Susan’s girls were so friendly and showered Abby with love and attention from the initial meet and greet. I would definitely ask Susan to sit for Abby in the future.”
“Natalie, kept my two beloved pups on short notice. She did a great job, and I know she took very good care of my pups. She provided updates on how they were doing, plus sent photos, which certainly set my mind at ease. I certainly recommend her, as I will ask her again to pet sit for them in her home. Thank you Natalie!”
“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”
“Frances was wonderful with our dogs and sent multiple photos and communications throughout the day while we were gone. We will absolutely use again, if needed.”
“Yelena was fabulous. We did a meet and greet before hand especially since my dog is 13 years old. Our dog seemed very happy while there. Yelena has a large fenced in yard as well as walking paths just outside her door. And bonus, Yelena is a highly skilled photographer! Highly recommend!”
“Great experience. Sent daily communication and pics. Seems to have a lot of experience working with dogs with unique personalities and needs. Veronica and family will be at the top of our list when we look for boarding in the future!”
“We used Laura for the first time for our Aussie in Sept. She sent pics everyday and let us know how he was doing. Easy drop off and pick up and she was flexible with the time. Our dog had a blast and we could use her again for sure”
“Allison was amazing! This was my first experience with using Rover and Allison took great care of Lady Rosemary!! I received pictures and updates daily!! Allison is a wonderful service provider that put my mind at ease! Definitely booking with her again if needed!”
“Listen y'all… Alexis is amazing! Her energy was great from the first time we communicated all the way through pick up. She was very present, sent updates and pictures as well as handled anything on the fly when needed without me having to ask. My GG had a lot of fun and really loved her and her boy, Nuke. 10/10.”
“Monique was very responsive to my questions. She was very friendly and her home was attractive with a fenced yard. She walked Teddy with her dog and let him chill on her couch. I feel he was well cared for. I would definitely use her again.”
“Thank you Rebecca for taking care of my Vizsla for the days that I was away. You made it possible for me get away on my birthday vacation and I’m so grateful. It was a pleasure meeting your two sweet dogs as well.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I was a bit anxious about how it would all go, given that Archer is a senior dog and very set in his ways. However Amelia and Grant were so accommodating and genuine, that I was very quickly set at ease. I received multiple pics every day where Archer looked settled and happy, so i knew he was in good hands! Highly recommend Amelia and Grant and glad to have found them on here!”
“My two dogs are always very well taken care of by Myra and Rick. I never have to worry about them and that lets me enjoy my time away from my furbabies. I highly recommend Myra as a dog sitter, she is one of the best.”
“Claudia was wonderful with Bentley! She’s very attentive and kind and I trusted her to keep my pup safe and healthy while I was out of town, and she did just that! Will definitely use Claudia as our sitter again!”

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.
96% of sitters in Iron Station 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Iron Station. 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 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.
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.
