“Shanna was the best! She took great care of our energetic labs! We enjoyed the updates and pictures throughout their stay. Goose and Tater clearly enjoyed themselves. I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”
“Ruth boarded my dog Jack for five days , she sent pictures every day which helped a lot. Jack fell in love as soon as he met her because he loves all the scratches and rubs. Enzo, Ruth's dog is a big loveable baby and Jack and Enzo got a long well. When I picked Jack up he was his happy healthy self.. No complaints from me and I just re-booked.”
“I’m so glad I found Starla on Rover to care for Tootsie while I took a 12-day trip. She was great at sending photos and giving me a daily update. There was never any doubt that my dog was getting the best care and so much love and attention.”
“Kim was wonderful to work with. My sweet Marley had her puppy moments but Kim was so great and never let those “puppy” incidents get to her. I stressed more about her than Kim did. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much for being so great to our little girl ??”
“Gina took great care of Henry and kept me updated with pictures and videos! Henry was so comfortable there and I could tell he was very loved! Will definitely book with Gina again!”
“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.”
“Mary and William were AMAZING with our kitten! They sent pictures and kept in contact. They were very welcoming and took very good care of our baby. We will definitely use them again!”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Christopher is super amazing and patient. He was patient and carefully monitored Ricky’s energy around the other dogs. He is well communicative which is definitely a plus when it’s your first time formally leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you don’t know. I love how he allowed me to also monitor my dogs behavior prior to completely dropping him off. Christopher is super respectful and understanding. I would recommend and book again!”
“Brittany took wonderful care of our dog, Lola. She sent pictures and videos everyday and had plenty of love and care. Lola has become best friends with her poodle too! She had a blast running around in the yard and meeting new friends, like goats and horses. I would definitely recommend Brittany, your fur babies will be in good hands!”
About: I have two dogs and have trained both since they were puppies! I love spending time with all dogs and taking them on walks. I want to make sure that while you’re away, you are confident that your baby is not only safe but is also having a great time making new friends! I work full time but can be flexible with my schedule! I only work 10 mins away and take two breaks a day to check on the babies. I walk them before I go to work and after I’m off. Then we play at the house until they’re tired out and ready for bed There’s a path in the neighborhood I like to walk with my dogs! It doesn’t have heavy traffic and it gives them just enough to explore!
“Above and beyond! Sanya provided exceptional care for my pup while I was away. Her communication was top-notch, and the frequent updates with photos and videos gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her services to any pet owner looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Cooper and Lexie were well cared for and relaxed when we picked them up. I appreciated the photos that were sent showing them enjoying both indoor and outside with Flavio. Thank you for making my shopping trip possible!”
“Sierra was so great with my energetic Great Dane! She kept me updated and sent pictures during his stay! She is very accommodating and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her! Cash came back exhausted from all the play time and fun that he had during his stay!”
“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 ?”
“Robin is experienced and trustworthy. We loved the big fenced in back yard and ample inside room for our pups while we were out of town. I was emotional leaving my babies but knew they were in great hands. Photos and videos while we were gone and texting communication was spot on. We will definitely be booking again when needed.”
“Nicholas, Thank you so much for caring for Buddy. I’m so glad you felt he was compatible with you. We really appreciated the pics and seeing he was doing well. It was very reassuring. We would love to have you care for him again sometime. We are really impressed with Rover and how easy it is to use and communicate. Thanks again Nicholas and Rover.”
“Karen did an absolutely amazing job caring for Bucky! From the moment we met her, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and dependable she is. She treated Bucky like her own, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Her updates gave us complete peace of mind, and we could tell Bucky was relaxed and content in her care. It’s not easy to fully trust someone with your pet, but Karen exceeded every expectation. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and exceptional sitter.”

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 Linwood 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 Linwood.
<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 Linwood 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.
