“Dana was wonderful! She cared for our little man like he was her own dog. She showed him so much love and spoiled him rotten. Not sure he wanted to come home from his week of luxury (ha ha ha). He was pampered, loved and cared for so generously. Dana was great with him and you can tell she absolutely loves dogs! We enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She definitely gave us a peace of mind while we were on vacation knowing that our fur baby was in such great hands!”
“Judith was amazing and took such good care our dog. I highly recommend her and her place. Very professional and knowledgeable. We will definitely return soon.”
“Thank you, Shalyn, for taking such great care of Tucker while we were away. It is such a blessing knowing he is being treated like a member of your family.”
“Kirby was a very happy boy staying with Ilanna and her husband and boys while we were away on vacation. We felt good knowing he was in very capable hands. We will definitely be taking our buddy back to stay with them in the future.”
“Olive always has a great stay with Katherine and her family! She is both attentive and flexible. We always have peace of mind knowing how well Olive is being cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful! Immediately from the meet & greet I knew Cora was in great hands. She was extremely responsive and then had such a warm energy the minute we met her. Deborah had everything we needed for the stay including a crate, toys and a dog bed! Cora had a great time in her yard. Deb also did a wonderful job with some thunderstorm anxiety and making sure Cora was as comfortable as possible. I will absolutely look to book with her again! Thanks so much for all the love and care you gave Cora!!”
“Joanna took excellent care of our 8yr old Golden. She provided us with daily updates and photos of his stay. Her communication both before and during our dog’s stay was quick and clear. Our dog had a wonderful time with her and we will rebook in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Lauren is amazing and my senior dog loves her! In the past with other sitters or even family my dog has been anxious after we come home from trips but this is far from the case with Lauren. My dog acts like it’s here home away from home.”
“Liliana and her family were great with my Max! Liliana is very caring and loves animals of all kinds! We have boomed her for a second time and we are sure Max will be in good hands!”
“Great daily updates and I think Zoe enjoyed her time with Linda and Koda. She was napping very comfortably when I went to pick her up!! Thank you again Linda!”
“Cody is great with my 🐕. My boy has high separation anxiety and I am comfortable leaving him with Cody. He also has an opportunity to get acquainted with other pets (which he needs as a Yorkie with big dog energy). Thanks Cody!”
“She and her family were fantastic. She sent tons of updates and pictures to let me know how my dogs were doing. Her dog was very friendly and got along well with my dogs. Anytime she had questions she was quick to reach out. I will definitely be booking with her again. She is the best!”
“Judd did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Gabe while we were out of town. He took him on daily walks, trips to the dog park and provided frequent updates & pics. Gabe seemed to really enjoy his time with Judd and his pets. We'll definitely reach out to Judd again when we need a sitter in the near future!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Fenway had. Great time with Natalie and her family. She had free roam and was getting lots of pictures of all her kids giving Fenway hugs. Your pup will be in great hands!”
“Blair was amazing! She was incredibly flexible with drop off and pickup times! I received daily updates about how Loki was doing. I could tell Loki felt right at home and loved his little vacation! Would 100% use Blair again for any future stays!”
“Natalie and her husband have taken care of Isis now two different times. Both times you can tell she was well taken care of, enjoyed her stay, and had a lot love giving to her. Thanks Natalie!”
“Sheila took such great care of Penny! We loved the photos and videos she sent us. It was easy to see how happy and comfortable Penny felt with her. Penny was exhausted when we brought her home. Definitely recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Matthews
We chose Bozena after reading her reviews and rate of return clients. We built in 2 days after our trip to help our babies normalize, thinking they be distraught. Amazingly they adapted to Bozena’s like their own home. One of the best things was Bozena’s husband looks similar to me and helped Sophie relax and not have anxiety. The steady flow of photos helped us know our babies were being cared for with loving care. We have been telling all our friends and posting what a phenomenal pet sitter we found in Bozena. We felt at ease, relaxed and were able to enjoy our trip instead of worrying how our pups would react when they came home. If you’re looking for the perfect place for your fur baby to be loved and pampered while you’re away, Bozena is your best bet. We will definitely will use her again. We have turned down trips and events due to not having a place for our fur babies, our lives have suddenly changed for the better.
We had such an AMAZING experience! Bacon absolutely loved her, and I can see why! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I also loved that she has a fenced-in backyard where Bacon could safely play and enjoy himself! She even shared some helpful training tips that I truly appreciated. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and that makes all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so happy we found her! We will DEFINITELY be back soon! 🐾❤️
Ilana was so loving toward my dog! This was the first time that I used Rover and will certainly will use Ilana again! She made sure that my dog felt right at home and gave her so much affection. The photos and notes that she sent let me know that my dog was happy and being well cared for. I highly recommend Ilana, she is absolutely amazing!
Very disappointed…. when picking up my dog, she was not as excited as she seemed when coming back home. That means Alexandra delivered the BEST boarding experience for my dog!! She had so much fun staying at Alexandra’s home! My dog had lots of playtime, cuddle time, princess treatment, and was surrounded by company 24/7! So be aware, when booking Alexandra, your dog will be sad leaving her home, but will be taken care of to the fullest extent! 10/10 service, highly recommended!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such an amazing experience with Alyssa and her husband! We are extremely picky about who we trust to watch our pup, Minko, and from the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. Communication was great throughout the entire weekend, and they sent us plenty of pictures and updates, which we absolutely loved. Most importantly, we could genuinely tell how loved, cared for, and comfortable Minko was while we were away. They truly went above and beyond, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being treated like part of their family. We would absolutely trust Alyssa and her husband with Minko again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pup like their own!

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.
94% of sitters in Matthews can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Matthews 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 Matthews.
<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 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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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.
