“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!”
“Very caring family who will take in your furry loved one, and take care of them with love. She also takes the BEST pics and sends them with updates throughout the visit. Brooke is great!”
“Jamie was awesome! She sent updates and photos daily and she made sure to give my energetic pup a lot of exercise. I could tell my boy was well taken care of and enjoyed his stay. I highly recommend Jamie and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”

“Our dog had never stayed with someone else, and she is a clinger to us, so we were not sure how well she would do. Emily and Tyon took such incredible care of her- she felt right at home playing ball with the kids, cuddling on the couch, and going for walks. We would absolutely use their services again in the future! I can’t recommend them enough :)”
“Rachel is amazing so knowledgeable! I am so pleased with everything my Bruno learned while with her! I could tell she paid so much attention to him because she pointed out things about him that I hadn’t mentioned, but things I knew about him. I’m so grateful for a sitter and trainer all in one! I’m very impressed with Rachel. We’ve found our person!”
“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.”
“Karen was a great sitter! She took excellent care of my dog Kenny and sent daily pictures and updates. She is very caring and Kenny was so comfortable with her! Thank you”
“Eric was a great dog sitter for Jack! He had excellent communication throughout the entire stay and sent pictures every day, which gave me peace of mind knowing Jack was doing well. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Jack was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I would absolutely book with him again!”

“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Olivia was great. My dog was injured and needed someone to watch him closely. Her home was clean and I could tell my dog had a comfortable stay. Olivia also responded to texts promptly and accommodated a late pick up time. Would trust her with my pup again!”
“Carolyn was great! Moose had a great stay playing with (and possibly annoying) her good boy Scout. She sent pics every day and got him on extra morning walks on days it was supposed to be very hot out”
“Natalie was very welcoming and explained the process to us throughly! Our cats had their own space with a nice TV with nature sounds and images. Nice touch! She sent nice pictures to us while we were away. Cats looked healthy upon our return. Would use her again and she is close to our home in proximity.”

Natalie and her family are so wonderful. I fully trust her with my big baby. She is a wonderful communicator and sent pictures and update many times over, on the reg. She has an adorable little one who was so good and loving to my Frankie. She eases my anxiety and you can really feel she loves these animals. She’s one of us! 😆 thank you so very much Natalie
Megan is wonderful. You can tell she really loves and understands animals. She took great care of Zaeley and even sent pictures. Zaeley really enjoyed her stay with Megan and Bella and is already scheduled to stay again. I highly recommend Megan for your pet care needs.

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 Long Island 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 Long Island.
<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 Long Island 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.
