“We took a trip to the west coast and could completely enjoy our time so far away knowing our little schnauzer was in the best of care with Leslie. Her warm and welcoming home environment makes it so adaptable for him and I can tell by the pics that she shares he is totally enjoying himself - even getting along with other pups. We highly recommend!”
“Kayla created a loving respite for my Bernedoodle. She sent beautiful photos each day with little notes about how he was doing. She makes a family project of caring for your dog. I was relieved and happy to find such a loving home while I was away. Thank you so much, Kayla! We will be back!”
“Anna was excellent! Having NEVER used Rover I was not sure what to expect. Anna was very responsive and sent pics of my puppy. I was nervous at first because she is only 5 months old, but she did really well and Anna was very patient with her. I highly recommend Anna for all your pet sitting needs!”
“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!!”
“If I could provide more than 5 stars I would. Brittany did an outstanding job watching over Maxxwell. She was communicative and a quick responder, no matter the time. Brittany and her family made Maxxwell feel love and at home. She did such an amazing job my family and I are booking her again this weekend while we’re away at the beach. This was our first time ever using Rover, but I think we found our forever sitter already 😊😊😊”
“We are so grateful for Deb! She took excellent care of our three pups. She did an amazing job keeping us updated and sent us tons of pictures! She really took care to follow any specific instructions we left and she truly made them feel at home and made us feel so comfortable leaving- especially with our elderly dog. If we could use Deb every time, we absolutely would!”
“Sheila was truly amazing taking care of Layla! From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and treated Layla like her own. She sent photos and updates that kept my mind at ease while I was on vacation, which meant so much to me. Layla seemed super happy being with her, and it was clear she was well cared for the entire time. Sheila is reliable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Bozena was a great sitter for the time she had Nemo with the inclusion of constant photo updates. Bozena welcomed us into her home where Nemo was going to have plenty of company with the kids being around. The fact that Bozena was able to take care of some other dogs while Nemo was there also added to his stay. Nemo also seemed to have a great time in her yard prancing around as he wished. He exerted so much energy during his stay that once we got home he slept the whole afternoon. She may be a bit far out to some folks, but I definitely recommend Bozena if available.”
“Lauren was wonderful. I got daily updates on our girl and that meant the world. I had to extend for a day and she was more than happy to accommodate my change in plans. Will definitely have her watch Rosie in the future.”
“Shalyn is caring and good in updating us about Max. She accommodated our requests and thanks for making Max feel at home. She is very good and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Wonderful experience with Anamika! She took great care of Simba and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Communication was excellent, they kept us updated, and it was clear that Simba was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Bri was amazing! She and her family welcomed my dog with open arms and treated him well. I appreciated Bri's consistent communication and photos throughout his stay and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“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.”
“Viktoriia and her family took great care of our two Australian Shepherds. They are sweet dogs who are high energy and can be a handful at times. She was so great with them and they came home happy and healthy. She communicated well and was super responsive, sharing pictures and videos that put my mind at ease while we were away. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a loving home to leave your fur baby. We would not hesitate to have her care for our pups in the future.”
“Jackson had a fantastic time. Bradley & Stephanlee took care of my boy and treated him like family. Was attentive to any request I had. Communication was fast and easy.”
“Hunter was very respectful and willing to help out with my pup if he suffered from seizures. Although none occurred, she was reviewing all the notes to make sure she was ready. I am grateful to her willingness to make sure my pup was well cared for. Would book again!”
“This was my very first time leaving my Rocky with a sitter and I was extremely nervous!! All kinds of things were running through my head; however a friend assured me that all would be well. I located Tyeriah and she eased my nerves and let me know that she's had lots of experience with newbies. While I was away, she sent pictures and updates and I could tell Rocky was fine. She let me know about his eating, playing, etc. All of my worries were gone! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies! Thanks so much Tyeriah, you're the Best!!!”
“We feel so fortunate to have found Sarah before our long trip. The pictures and videos of our dog running and playing with other pups in her spacious, fenced yard gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and use her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 New Salem 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 New Salem.
<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 New Salem 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 , 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.
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.
