“Always happy to see river. Gives updates and after daycare updates. Clear communication. I would use her again and have used her several times. I like that she has a big yard and a dog for River to play with.”


About: hi! i'm Emily, and i've been dog sitting since i was 16, so caring for other people's dogs feels second nature at this point. i'm most comfortable with small to medium size dogs and love getting them out for exercise, especially long walks. if your pup has energy to burn, i'm here for it. at home i have a Yorkie and an Australian Shepherd, so i'm no stranger to different dog personalities and energy levels. i pay close attention to each dog's pace, quirks, and comfort with new people, and i make sure they're getting the movement and attention they need while you're away. whether it's a walk around the block or an overnight stay, your dog will be well loved and well exercised with me. I’m currently working remotely from 8-6pm M-F. Due to the flexible nature of my location, I’m available for boarding anytime during the week, and can step out for walks or stay as needed throughout the daytimes. During the weekends, I’m also fully available for boarding or routine visits, anytime of day or night. when your dog stays with me, they become part of the household for the duration. they'll have access to a safe, comfortable space, regular walks, playtime with my own dogs if it's a good match, and a consistent routine so they're not stressed by the change in environment. i keep a close eye on eating, energy, and bathroom habits and will update you with photos and check-ins throughout their stay. i have a small fenced in backyard and a neighborhood for plenty of walks! i also offer overnight stays and check-ins at your home, so your pet can stick to their normal environment and routine while you're away. i'll follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, keep the space tidy, and bring in mail or packages if needed. for cats especially, staying in their own space tends to be way less stressful than a new environment, and i'm happy to give them the company and attention they're used to. whether your pet stays with me or i come to you, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for the whole time.
About: Hi! My husband and I are both hybrid workers, so we’re home often and have flexible schedules that allow us to spend quality time with the dogs we watch. We live in a two-story home with no kids or pets of our own, which means your dog will have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Since there aren’t other animals or distractions, we’re able to give your dog our full attention, lots of love, and care tailored just to them. My experience with dogs goes back to when I was 3 years old, and had my first family dog that I grew up with like a sibling! From that moment, I always treated dogs as part of the family. I rescued my second dog while I was in college from a shelter, and I also spent many years pet sitting for my neighbors, which was truly a dream job because I got to spend all day long playing with dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and routine they often need—whether it's administering medications, helping them up stairs, or just giving them a peaceful spot to nap. We work full-time, but have hybrid schedules where we work from home most of the week. We make sure to rotate our in office days so one of us is always home. We are able to provide potty breaks every hour! For exercise, our neighborhood is suitable for long walks. We also have a yard where we can play with your dog, as well as several nearby trails.
“Frances was great! She provided several updates via photos and texts during Junie’s stay and that made me very comfortable and appreciative. She seems to really love the animals like they’re her own. We will definitely book her again.”


About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family excited to welcome your pup into our home 🐾 It’s my husband and I, and we have a very friendly 2-year-old dog who absolutely loves other dogs and thrives on playtime. She’s social, gentle, and a great playmate for visiting pups! She is 70lbs, a Husky & Am Staff Terrier mix. Her name is Squiggy. She is very social and friendly with little dogs and large. She has never met a dog she didn't like! I work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day — no long hours alone! We are very active and love daily walks, play sessions, and trips to the dog park (if your dog enjoys that too!). We have: ✔️ A fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play ✔️ A friendly, social resident dog ✔️ Lots of exercise and enrichment ✔️ Plenty of cuddles and downtime ✔️ Flexible schedules since I work from home We treat every dog like part of the family and understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when leaving your pet. We’re happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how much fun your pup is having! We can’t wait to meet your dog and give them a safe, loving, and active home while you’re away 🐶💛 I currently work part-time and mostly from home. We have a fenced in yard so there will be lots of space to explore. We do regular walks and often go to the dog park in order to wear our pup out but we will work around your dogs needs. We are flexible, we can crate your dog if that is what they are used to and we can work around your feeding schedule as needed. We have lots of toys and lots of healthy snacks, please let us know if there are any allergies to be concerned about.
“This was my first time using Rover to find someone that would look after our pup for the day. Christina was very upfront answered all my questions and concerns. When the day came to meet and drop off our dog, after talking with Christina I felt better. She sent pictures throughout the the and texts to let us know what she and our dog was doing. To make a long story short, things went so well that I asked Christina if she was available for a later date. Our dog liked her that’s all that mattered.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's part of my daily life. My family homestead is home to dogs, cats, and a thriving garden, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes naturally to me. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. Unlike traditional kennels, pets enjoy a comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have a large fenced area for safe outdoor time and exercise, as well as multiple levels within my home that allow me to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet loves to socialize or prefers a quieter space to relax, I can create an environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so their stay feels as close to home as possible. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout your pet's stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I'm a teacher currently home for the summer, spending my days building our family homestead. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily routine, from tending to our dogs and cats, to working in the garden and enjoying life outdoors. Because I'm home and actively caring for my own animals throughout the day, welcoming boarding pets into my home feels like a natural extension of the life I'm already living. I have a fenced yard, lots of room indoors, and multiple levels to give pets the quiet or fun they desire. I have routines to care for our animals and will be glad to follow whatever your pet is used to!
“Excellent caretaker for our fur baby! Very professional, timely, and caring. Provided multiple updates throughout the day. We will definitely seek her services in the future again!”

I have a good sized fenced in yard. I am available for boarding on weekends and in the summer and walks/drop ins all year! I am a teacher and on the weekends and in the summer I am home and ready to love on your dog! I have a fenced in yard and a dog who loves other dogs. We will play outside, snuggle on the couch, and may even take a walk at a local park! If you need drop ins or walks I am available pretty much anytime in the summer. My yard is fenced and all areas of my home are open to dogs. Dogs will be fed separately and I can have toys available or not depending on temperament. I do require a meet and greet before stays in my home to be sure your dog and my dog are compatible.
“Kritika was absolutely amazing! She got us in on a last minute request and I’m very grateful she did. She also responds super fast which I loved. Winston had such a blast with her family! He was so happy and so tired after an eventful day with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, she’s pretty great .”

About: Hi! My name is Svitlana, and I truly love dogs. I have experience caring for my own friendly Labrador, so I'm comfortable with large, energetic dogs as well as smaller breeds. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to details. During every walk, I focus on your dog's safety and well-being. I'll treat your pet like my own and send photo updates after each visit so you always know how they're doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends when needed. I always arrive on time and make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always follow your instructions carefully, keep dogs on leash unless you request otherwise in a secure area, provide fresh water after walks, and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. I’ll send photo updates after every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my dog! She took such great care of him and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She was very communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“My pup had the best time with Nancy, Coffee & family. The fenced in yard was great for her to run around off leash & I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie in Nancy’s care. Winnie played fetch & even received a special treat. Nancy’s family is very friendly & Winnie is excited about her next visit!! Well.. after her long nap! Haha.”

About: Hello, I’m CJ. For as long as I can remember, I've been accompanied by pets—my own, those of friends, family, and those I've worked with. So, I wouldn't be happy without them Currently I can be full time so we could have so long for having fun and taking so many pictures together or whatever you ask I take care of them in my apartment. My unit has large parks and green areas for walks and pet-friendly common areas. It’s fenced off
“I had no doubts while Odie was in their care. Constant communication and updates kept me confident in our furry family member's care. Odie was happy upon our arrival for his pickup and I couldn't ask for more in a daycare stay. I wish we lived closer as I would most definitely use them for services again!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lucia commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
