“Great new friends for Zulu to hang with!!! Their cool demeanor and willingness to take on an older puppers with seizure disorder left me knowing my best good buddy would be taken care of while we need to travel out of the country for work. I loved getting photos and videos while away. Will be back for more fun!!”
“After 5 years of traditional boarding at a facility, we wanted a more comfortable personal experience for our pup. We chose Dan based off of previous clients experiences, and are so happy we did!! Dan is amazing! He kept us updated throughout the stay and treated our pup like family. We will definitely be repeat clients!!”
“Bozena was great! She was very communicative while sitting our dog and sent lots of pics throughout. We always felt like our dog was in good hands. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“I felt at ease with Carolina’s service. She sends updates with pictures and videos of your dog, and she treats them as if they are her own. I especially love how involved her family is with helping care for my pet. If she would have Renegade again, I definitely will book with this family again .”
“Cheryl took such amazing care of our boys! They are old dogs who don’t do well in a boarding environment, so we were thrilled to find Cheryl and feel like they were really comfortable and got lots of personal love and attention while we were away. They also had lots of toys, comfy beds, carpeted floors, and a fenced yard at Cheryl’s house. Will definitely book with Cheryl again!!”
“Judith was very accommodating when I found myself needing a sitter for my second dog while I was out of town. She responded to all texts promptly and both my dogs, Labrador and Shih tzu seemed to have a good time. I will be taking my dogs to Judith on my next trip.”

“Our pup had a great experience with Shalyn's family. She's a little nervous in new situations and Shalyn worked to make her feel comfortable. The communication was quick and she sent daily updates. I'd definitely use them again.”
“Clayton was amazing....so trusting, nice and just a natural with dogs! My Aussie Doodle Cashew loved him and his dogs. His large backyard is a great area for the dogs to play in. She is a 9 month puppy and has only boarded at one other place. So we were nervous! Since she sleeps in her crate at home, Clayton let Cashew sleep in his bedroom floor, so she was comfortable! He sents lots of pictures and videos and she had a blast! She came home exhausted! I highly recommend Clayton and his wife, Beth, for pet sitting. We can't wait to take her back there!! Thanks Clayton!”
“Chloe had an amazing experience with Kristian, her family, and her very sweet dogs! She sent pictures and updates daily. Kristian is very experienced, flexible, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Plus, her backyard is huge and gives dogs a wonderful place to play and explore! So happy to have found Kristian and I cannot recommend her enough!! A thousand stars!”

Your home and care were fabulous and it’s such a relief to me knowing she was in such caring and wonderful hands. Thank you again.”

Daniel is the G.O.A.T when it come to sitting. Never had to ask the status of my furbaby or to send pics. Received pics throughout the day just not one time. Pics were clear and could see my dog at all stages. My dog has come home healthy and happy. You can not go wrong by hiring Daniel.
Emma has been a wonderful sitter for my pup! She made sure my pup got his enrichment needs. My puppy is pretty active and has lots of energy. Emma played with him, gave him puzzles, and walked him. She sent a lot of pictures which was helpful for me haha. Would highly recommend her! Couldn’t be more grateful she was able to take care of our puppy ♥️
This was my first rover experience in Charlotte. Linda was great with my dog Riggins! She sent tons of pictures and updates. Riggins had a great time with her! She even accommodated me when my flight was canceled which gave me such peace of mind! Will def book with her again!
Judd is the man! This is my second time booking with him, and I can't say enough good things. He takes excellent care of my dog, Gabe, making sure he gets plenty of walks, trips to the dog park, and even treats. It's clear that Gabe had a great time during his stay. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Judd again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Barbara was amazing and truly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was warm, sweet, and incredibly responsive the whole time. I could tell my dogs were happy and so well cared for. When I picked them up I could tell they had a fun time! I’m so grateful for her help and will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much, Barbara!
Judith took very good care of our 10.5-year-old dog while we went on 3-day road trip. Judith is knowledgeable about many large breeds and observant of dog's individual needs. We did a meet-and-greet with her dogs and my dog prior which I appreciated. If you have any specific needs she will accommodate or let you know if she can accommodate. My dog has had surgery (2 ACL repairs) so we have to be mindful of his portion of feedings and limit running. It a bit hard to control his running and jumping especially when he sees a squirrel, so I requested that he spend 15-20 min outside during potty breaks rather than 30 -40 min outside, so he rests between breaks. Judith was able to accommodate. The next day he was up and moving around easily so he had a good amount of activity and not too much that he is too sore to move the next day. We will reach out to Judith for our next trip. Highly recommend.
Vladymyra is truly exceptional. She took care of our two dogs for several days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped them off, she made them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. Our pups can be a little sensitive when we’re away, but with her, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly adored. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she paid attention to every detail — their routines, their quirks, their comfort — and treated them as if they were her own. When we picked them up, they were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. That’s the greatest gift a dog parent can receive. We are so grateful for Vladymyra and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly outstanding dog sitter. She’s a gem.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Matthews sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Matthews landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Matthews home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Matthews.
Tip: 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 Matthews 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
