“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Another great stay with Lady D. Duke was in great spirits at pickup. Excited to see me and ready to go, although he did make sure to stop and thank her for taking care of him while I was away. So sweet to see”
“Felt great with Lauren watching my dog. He’s almost 16 years old and I am so particular with him that I rarely feel any level of actual comfort with someone else watching him. I felt at ease with Lauren and that meant a ton. She sent a lot of pics and videos and I’d take him back anytime.”
“Wow Greg and Julie are amazing! I always got updates and they know so many training tricks from their background with dogs! 12/10 recommend! Plus my dog got to play with his first cat! Book them now!”
“We were very pleased w the entire experience. We, with our two dogs, met Evan in advance to make sure everyone was comfortable and at that point I knew we were in good hands. Our babies had so much fun running around on a farm Happily recommend Evan.”

“Robin really helped us out in a pinch when we needed to find a sitter for our dog Appa on the same day! She was super responsive, flexible, and sent great photos immediately the next morning which we really appreciated. Appa had fun playing with one of the dogs there too!”
“Miyu is excellent! I highly recommend. She's kind and consistently expressed care and attention to my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and we look forward to booking her in the future.”

“Our 1 year old mini-golden doodle had a GREAT time with Emily and William and their family. We were overseas so nervous about leaving Copper for 10 days. Emily and William were great from the minute we met them for a "meet and greet". They loved on Copper and put our mind at ease for being away from him. They sent several pictures while we were away and re-assured us that he was getting along well with their other dogs and their children. Copper had a great time and we will definitely use them again if the need arises.”
“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.”
“Lorraine was amazing!! She sent lots of pictures and constant updates. I can tell my fury babygirl Ivy was well taken care of and had a great time. She even met some new friends. We will absolutely be using Lorraine’s sitting services again. I highly recommend her. 🐶 😊”
“Dylan did a fantastic job watching our dog Hank over the weekend. He responded quickly to questions and we were able to fully relax knowing that Hank was in great hands and having fun running around the yard. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“As usual, Vanessa and family are always amazing! She's become my do to dog sitter because she's kind, understands dogs and sends great updates during our pups stay!”
“This was my second time leaving my kitten, Betty White, with Ann, and the first time I was away from her for any real period of time. Ann kept in contact with me throughout the week and sent at least one picture each day. When I arrived to pick her up, all of her things were packed up and ready to return home, but Betty wanted to stay and play. Ann truly treats Betty like her own, and it’s so wonderful to know that she’s with someone who loves her as much as I do.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Joyland
Pretty sure my dog was disappointed when I showed up to bring her home from Amy's. My dog was treated like one of the family. Lots of time in the lovely fenced yard and lots of cuddles by Amy and her kids. I appreciated daily pictures and updates. Would definitely book again.
Felt great with Lauren watching my dog. He’s almost 16 years old and I am so particular with him that I rarely feel any level of actual comfort with someone else watching him. I felt at ease with Lauren and that meant a ton. She sent a lot of pics and videos and I’d take him back anytime.
Camila & Lino are a lovely couple who are very much dedicated to caring for the animals they host. Our dog recently went blind and we sought out someone that would provide personalized care during our 6 night vacation. They met all of his special needs, communicated with us regularly and provided plenty of pictures so we could see how he was doing. We will definitely use them whenever needed going forward.
Brandon and Aubrey did a great job taking care of Toby and Laker! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were well cared for while I was away. They were also incredibly accommodating when unexpected travel issues meant I needed to extend their stay by a few nights. I really appreciated their flexibility and would definitely recommend them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Joyland home-away-from-home, 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 Joyland.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Joyland 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 , 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 .
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.
