“Amanda is clearly the biggest dog lover I have ever met. She truly will treat your dog like one of her own. She was really good at understanding my dog’s personality and picked up on his quirks quickly. My dog was well taken care of, loved, and will be a repeat visitor. We are so happy to have found Amanda!!!!”
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.
“Coco had SUCH an amazing time and it was clear how well cared for she was! I could tell from the photos she was having the time of her life going for walks on the beach and playing.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!
“Very communicative! Vita treated my baby like she was her own and I love that!! very trust worthy and worth every dime of you letting her keep yours animals!! Will definitely use her again thank so much !”
“Claudia was fantastic. This was a last minute ask. Our move was moved up one week and we really needed someone to watch the dogs while the movers did their thing. She is a wonderful person with a real love for dogs. Even though they were there for 6 hours she sent two pictures to us. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much Claudia.”
About: Hi, I’m Beth (rover made me use my first name)! I have owned dogs for over 20 years and they are my family! I have a 4 year old dog who loves friends coming to play! 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.
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.

“Michael and Holly are fantastic. Their family is very friendly, accommodating, and extremely professional. If you are looking for someone to watch your pup. These are the people you want. My pup was like their own.”
“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.”

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
