“Buddy, my Westie, was well taken care of while we were gone for 10 days. He seemed as comfortable with Mary as we were when we had the Meet and Greet. Although we missed him we were not worried about his care. Would definitely use Mary again!”
“Scott and Heather are the absolute best for our dog! Ranger is an anxious needy doodle with all the quirks! Scott and Heather take care of him and his every need while we are away each time. They are so accommodating when our flight is delayed or something pops up! Endless pictures of your pup make being away enjoyable. No need to worry! We've found the best place to trust with our sweet boy! Thank you Scott and Heather!”

We received frequent updates and pictures of our dog while we were away, and were thankful to have found such a kind and responsible family to care for Roux while we traveled. We plan to book with Suzanne again!”
“Mia was great. She boarded my cat Payton while I went on a family vacation for a week. I was very nervous leaving Payton and she made me feel comfortable and provided daily updates. She was very patient with Payton and me. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”

But Ms. Kerri has so much experience and loves all animals it made me.feel so much better woth how proffessional and caring she is.”
“Where do I start!? Milika was absolutely amazing with Daisy. I was very nervous because it was my first time using a sitter and leaving her for such an extended period of time. Milika reassured me that Daisy would okay and the way she took right to Milika said it all. Milika sent pictures and videos everyday. Milika’s children took to Daisy as well and they are so sweet. I would go to Milika every time I’m in need of a sitter for my fur baby. She’s truly an amazing and loving person. 10/10 id recommend Milika 100 million percent.”
“I loved all the updates and photos! They took such great care of my little guy while I was on a work trip. Definitely going to use you all again for future trips! Thanks 🙏”
“Stacey was wonderful with our dog! She watched her for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. Stacey kept us updated at least once a day and sent lots of pictures of them enjoying different activities together. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. We really appreciated the communication and care she provided, and we would definitely use Stacey again!”
“Andrea was a God-send to us! We found her last minute before our annual vacation. My daughter and I knew when we met her she was a good person and very knowledgeable. Our Dolly is 5 months old and has had little to no socializing with other dogs. Andrea had no concerns and was open to the challenge! Dolly had trouble adjusting to a new place without her but Andrea brought her through each issue. She also sent us updates daily with pictures! Andrea is 5 star in every way. I would absolutely use her service again and would recommend her to others!”
“So thankful for Carlita. She helped my husband and me out from August 12-14 when we were out of town and turned around and helped us with Daycare and Boarding when my mother had to go into the hospital for several days. Lewey loves being with her and playing with Snow, so it is always added fun for him. We always know he is in good hands when Carlita takes care of him. I highly recommend her, and she always makes Lewey feel welcomed.”

I could tell Jeovanna and her husband treated Henry like he was their own! This was his second stay at their house and he was excited the moment we pulled into their driveway. Jeovanna sends picture updates which I love and are much appreciated! I will definitely be using them again when I need someone to watch Henry.
Luke was so easy to work with and took great care of my dog. He required a meet and greet first with his own dog which helped put my mind at ease. He also sent text updates and pictures every day. He is very close to where I live so I absolutely will be using him again!
Herschel had such a wonderful stay with Adrienne and John! They are an awesome family. They are so responsive and professional and I left Hersh having 100% confidence he was being cared for and loved. We already have more boarding lined up as they give the best care!
Nadia did a wonderful job caring for my pup Scotty. He had some initial nerves staying with a new sitter, but she made sure he felt comfortable and he adjusted well. Nadia gave plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay. I’d confidently recommend her services to any friend!

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.
97% of sitters in Knightdale 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 Knightdale 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 Knightdale.
<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 Knightdale 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.
