“We had a wonderful experience tonight. Marina took great care of Scout and made everything easy for us. Communication was excellent, updates were timely, and Scout was clearly relaxed and happy when she returned. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the kindness shown to our pup. Highly recommend.”

About: I have had pets all my life and have a strong connection to dogs. I recently completed an agility course with my dog, so I have some experience in training and I have also volunteered at Heart of the Valley! I have been a pet sitter in the past, but I’m new to the Rover app. I am fully available this summer and going into the fall! I just graduated and am taking a semester off, I’m also looking for a part time job currently so I will update my hours but I have a lot of free time that will be dedicated to your pet. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet extra company! I will give your pets extra snuggles and play time, if they would like! I will also offer course make sure they have food, water, and walks or exercise.
“Nicole was so kind and helpful watching my pup! I was in town for a couple days for my sisters graduation and Nicole was very understanding when pickup was slightly behind schedule due to event length and sent a photo and updates their first morning together.”
“Lauren was awesome! Super accommodating for a last minute request, and our pup Raleigh had a great time hanging out at her property and playing with her sweet dog all day while we went to Yellowstone! Would happily book Lauren again!”
“Luna loved her time with Marina. She was treated to play time, walks, new toys, and cuddles on the couch. Luna was immediately at ease with Marina, as were we. Thank you, Marina, for taking such good care of our sweet girl.”
About: As a Miami native and seasoned concierge professional, I have over a decade of experience in house sitting, pet care, and plant maintenance. My deep love for animals and nature drives me to provide attentive, reliable care—whether it’s looking after your furry friends or keeping your plants thriving. You can count on me for dedicated pet sitting, dog walking, or watering services with the same care I’d give my own! I make my own schedule and work mostly from home, so I am available to go to you with very little to no notice in advance! I was a rescue schnauzer mom that had so much love for her pup (lost him Oct. 2023 👼 🌈 ). Over the last 20 years, I have taken rescues off of the streets and rehomed them... and with Maxie my schnauzer, I just knew he had to stay with me! I will care for your home and your pets as though they are my Maxie! You have my word.

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 Matthews 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 MT 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 129 sitters in Matthews, 77% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
