“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
“Where do I even begin? Brittany was absolutely amazing. From the moment she met Nyla, it was clear there was a natural connection. She was so tender and caring, and always kept us in the loop with updates. I could tell Nyla genuinely enjoyed her time with her. Definitely a 10/10 experience — we’ll absolutely be booking again in the near future!”
“Anamika is absolutely wonderful! She has cared for Roscoe three times now, and she truly treats him like her own fur baby. She is professional, dependable, and provides such a warm, family environment. Roscoe is always incredibly happy when he stays with her and he even recognizes her neighborhood and gets super excited as soon as we turn onto her street! He eats, plays, and sleeps as comfortably as if he were at home. Knowing Roscoe is happy, loved, and well cared for gives me such peace of mind whenever I travel. We highly recommend Anamika—she’s awesome!”
“Lipika was amazing and took great care of Diego while I was out of town. She sent multiple videos each day and made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing. He had so much fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Norma is a fantastic dog sitter! She really went above and beyond. She ensured our dog was comfortable, happy, and sent pictures with updates everyday. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Ashley was so great! I just moved to the area but previously used Rover in TN. Ashley was very responsive and kept me updated with how Brody was doing with text and photos. It’s so comforting having someone so attentive keep my boy while I’m out of town. I will definitely be using Ashley again in the future! Thanks so much ?”
“Jayda was great with our little girl! She was so happy when we picked her up. I appreciate her responsiveness and attention to detail. I was also grateful for all the pictures and video that she sent us during the stay. It really put me at ease since it was our first time using Rover. We will definitely come back again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and adopted my own pup during Covid—the best decision I ever made! I love spending time with animals and regularly care for family and friends’ pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and will make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available 7 days a week and can accommodate most schedules. Whether it’s early walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m always flexible and reliable to meet your pet’s needs. I successfully trained my own dog and am very comfortable caring for pets at all stages, including those who use crates, are still potty training, or need extra patience and consistency. I understand that every animal has unique needs and will provide kind, attentive care tailored to their routine.
“Our first stay at Katherine's was fantastic! She was very friendly and quick to respond. Our dog came home happy and tired from a fun visit. Great back yard for running and playing. So happy to have found a home away from home for our pup after relocating to the area. Will definitely use again.”
“Jamie and her family are really great to work with. They treat our dog as their own and go out of their way to send pics and reassurances that our pup is doing well. So happy to have them close!”
“We left our dog with Bri for the first time for 5 days. She was accommodating and sent updates with pictures every day. Our dog did well with her and her dogs and family. I would happily use Bri again.”

“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!”

Bud-Bud's time with Brandon was absolutely amazing! Brandon was very communicative and sent tons of beautiful pictures! He took Bud-Bud on regular walks and always kept us in the loop. I would highly recommend Brandon and am excited to book Bud-Bud's stay with him again in the future.
I could tell Pip had a wonderful week with Chase and his dogs based on the smile he came out of the house with. Being able to have someone reliable who I know will take great care of my dog when we are away is so important for peace of mind and we found that with Chase.
Erica is absolutely wonderful! Our 5-month-old puppy stayed at Erica’s house for 5 days and had an amazing time. It was clear from the start that Erica genuinely loves dogs and has a lot of experience caring for them. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and patient, and she made us feel completely comfortable leaving our puppy in her care. Throughout the stay, Erica kept us updated and made sure our puppy was happy, active, and well cared for. Our puppy came back healthy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed the experience. We would absolutely trust Erica again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter!
Jasmine was the absolute best. I would totally recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter. I have never used a pet sitter before and Jasmine made me feel completely confident that my pup was going to be safe and comfortable with her. She provided photos to allow us to see how the puppy’s day was going and my puppy looked very happy and calm. I am glad that this site has brought me to her. I am very satisfied with the service I received. Great job Jasmine I truly appreciate you.
Kimberly was awesome! I was nervous at first, but her friendly and professional behavior put me at ease. She has a beautiful clean home that my dog settled in like it was hers. She has two fur babies of her own. I wasn't sure how my dog would take to them; however, Kimberly handled it beautifully. In the end they all became good friends. 😄 She sent text, photos and video to help put our minds at ease while we were out of town. She was very gracious when storms and fog delayed our arrival time. I will definitely bring my dog back to her.
Courtney watched our puppy on VERY short notice over the Thanksgiving holiday when our Airbnb got double booked and our plans wouldn’t allow us to bring our puppy. She was fantastic with him and has her whole house and yard setup to care for animals. Recommend 💯. Thank you, Courtney!!

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 Kannapolis 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 Kannapolis 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 Kannapolis.
<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 Kannapolis 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.
