“Sarah was wonderful! We had to add an extra day, and she was so sweet to accommodate our last-minute change in our travel plans. We loved receiving the pictures and videos and we never had to worry about them! We will most definitely be contacting her to keep Sam and Charlie in the near future!”
“First time using Rover, and so glad it was Wesley! Our pup had a great time, and we could tell he was well cared for. The photo updates also meant everything to me. I hope Wesley can watch Russell again the next time I go out of town.”
“Stephanie was amazing. Super communicative and sent photos every day. And most importantly, our pup was so happy and smiling when we picked her up. Will absolutely be using Stephanie’s services again.”
“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“I’ve had Lora watch my six month old kitten twice now & she is absolutely amazing! She sends pictures and updates on what they are doing throughout the day which is so fun to see - Arthur definitely loves his time with her! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Kristine and her mom took great care of our high maintenance senior Pomeranian. They sent us updates on how she was doing, which really put our mind at ease (this was her first time not boarding at her vet). Very easy to work with and will definitely book again! Highly recommend! Thank you for everything!”
“Riggs LOVED his stay! I got lots of pictures and he literally had a huge smile in each one. It’s so nice knowing he is being loved so well when I had to be away! Thank you!!!”
“Hunter was great. My flight got delayed and I couldn't pick up Walker in time, but she managed to help me out while I was in a bind...Walker for a Christmas gift too!”
“Heidi was great with Boomer. An extra special thank you for helping me out with the extension when my flight was cancelled. I will definitely be a return customer! Thank you!!”
“Jane was the best! My dog is not easy and Jane was accommodating and amazing. I got pictures and messages and she made my trip so much easier allowing me to focus while I was working. I am so grateful for her kindness and easy going nature. I have not had bad experiences on Rover, but Jane was elite and stands out. Thank you Jane and family!”
“Brittany M. has been so much more than a pet sitter—she’s been an exceptional human being. She cared for my dog Luna with such love, dedication, and tenderness that it far exceeded my expectations. She and her children treated my baby as part of their family, showering her with affection and attention. Brittany also stayed in constant communication with me every single day, sending photos and showing me the environment Luna was in, which gave me so much peace and confidence. It’s a true blessing to find someone like her. I will absolutely trust her again and recommend her more than 100%. Thank you, Brittany, for everything!”
“Rue had another great visit to Gerardo's! It's such peace of mind knowing she's so well taken care of. Gerardo is great about communication and sending pictures!”
About: I love pets so much! I grew up with a cocker spaniel and now have three cats! I love all animals and love to help! I am also willing to house sit. I work Monday-Friday until 5pm typically but am able to afternoon take care of pets! I am free weekends. I am also able to take care of pets overnight stays/house sit! Works well with going to work and then coming back home to the babies :) I have three cats of my own and grew up raising a beautiful cocker spaniel baby :) I love pets and have my own car but no large backyard.
“Anna was great with my older dog Mia! My dog is pretty particular to care for with some things like her diet and routines, but she did great while I had to go out of town! Really appreciated the updates that I got throughout her stay.”
“Dayana was an incredible host! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She loves pups and it shows. Maeve is only 5 months old and she was very communicative about her behaviour and very flexible with needs. I’m really glad I found her through Rover and will definitely bring Maeve back when needed.”
“Tera allowed my kitties to stay in her home for a few hours while we were having an open house and accommodated us last minute. Truly an animal lover, a great communicator, and so incredibly nice. We are so grateful! 10/10 - highly recommend ❤️”

Dan was amazing! He was very patient with Brownie and helped him through his separation anxiety. Dan made sure to send updates and pictures throughout the day while we were gone and ensured Brownie was safe. He will be Brownie's buddy for any future family trips! Highly recommended especially if your baby needs to be the only pupper in the home! ❤️🐕
Bozena was absolutely AMAZING! She was so attentive to our sweet boy, and she sent me many wonderful w all throughout the day- leaving no doubts in our minds that Loki was being doted on & loved every moment of his stay there! When I came to pick him up (after a week) he was not stressed at ALL & acted like he was just with one of us! THanks Bozena & family! We are so happy Loki is home, but also thrilled that we have found a “home away from home” when we need one! 🩵
Madison took in my 1/4 trained teenager puppy, Maybelline, on last minute notice. Boarding is such a cold word. Madison treated Mabel as her own, with walks, playtimes, exercise, mandatory nap-naps, socialization, traffic! Ten out of ten. Part of the pack. The best review I can give is that ive already booked her again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars, but I wish I could give her 10! I honestly don’t even know where to begin. Dana has been absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ For the longest time, I avoided traveling because I couldn’t find someone I truly trusted to care for my two boys, Polo and Bentley. Leaving them with someone else was always a huge worry for me. But Dana completely changed that. From the very beginning, her communication was incredible. She sent us over 100 pictures throughout their stay, along with thoughtful updates about how they were eating, sleeping, playing, and adjusting. She followed every single instruction carefully, including Bentley’s medication schedule and special needs, and went above and beyond to make sure both boys felt safe, comfortable, and loved. What touched me the most was seeing how naturally they bonded with her. Bentley, who usually takes time to trust new people, ended up becoming her little shadow! 🥹 And Polo was happily exploring and making himself right at home. And here’s something that says everything about the kind of person Dana is: when our travel plans meant a very late pickup, she was incredibly understanding. She even offered to keep the boys another night if that would make things easier for us. No pressure, no inconvenience, just genuine kindness. Dana doesn’t just take care of your pets. She cares about you as their parent, too. ❤️ You can tell she truly loves what she does. Her patience, dedication, attention to detail, and genuine affection for animals are something special. Now I completely understand why she’s a Star Sitter! For the first time, I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my babies were in wonderful hands. That peace of mind is priceless. I would absolutely book with Dana again, without hesitation, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Dana, for loving my boys like they were your own. You’ve earned our trust and our hearts! 🩵🐾 Andrea & Carmen
Vladymyra was wonderful taking care of our sweet Oreo for a couple of nights\! She made the whole experience so smooth and easy, and Oreo was happy and comfortable with her\. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in loving hands\. We couldn’t have asked for a sweeter nanny for Oreo\! Highly recommend her\! ❤️🐾
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!

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 .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
