“Brianna was amazing. So kind and patient with my one pup who is going blind and gets anxious. They clearly had a great time and they are very sensitive - I cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Maribel and her sweet dog Molly were awesome! Our girl Emma has a bit of separation anxiety but Maribel was patient and caring for Emma to help her adjust. She always kept us in the loop with pictures and info on how things were going. Many thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Morgan truly cares about animals. She was communicative, thorough and honest. She sent pictures and updates the entirety of our vacation. I would recommend her services to anyone.”
“Once again, Scout was taken in (on short notice!) and cared for. He comes home clean and happy and well-exercised. Erica and Christian's home is easy to get to, easy to park, and very clean and welcoming. Happy to have found our home away from home for Scout.”
About: I am a registered nurse for humans, but lover of animals. I have two poodle mixes at home and would love to check in on, walk, or host your pups! Although I live with my fiance, I will be taking sole care of the animals as he is very busy in law school! Will be accepting bookings on days off from the hospital since I work 3 days a week! On my days off I’m available all day long to check in on your loved ones. Pets staying in my home will get lots of lovings and play time with my two pups! We have a fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time!
“Ashley is an excellent communicator! She clearly understands how anxious dogs behave, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was patient and attentive, always moving at my dog’s pace and never rushing her. Would book again! :)”
“Our pups had a good time with them. They got the care they needed including medication administration and catering to their anxiety. They also offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. They shared lots of photos and regular updates.”
“Hannah was so great with my senior dog, Maci! She sent me so many pictures throughout my trip. She let me know when my dog wasn’t feeling well and kept me up to date to keep my mind at ease. Would definitely ask her to keep Maci again and would highly recommend!”
About: I have over four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including managing illnesses, administering medications, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Through this experience, I’ve learned to pay close attention to canine behavior and body language, allowing me to pick up on subtle cues about a dog’s comfort, needs, and emotions. I understand how to respond calmly in emergency situations and how to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s encouraging a dog to eat, maintaining their routine, or simply providing companionship, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and genuine compassion. I truly see dogs as family members and believe they deserve the same respect, kindness, and care that we give to people. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, secure, and understood while they’re in my care. As a therapist who works from home, I am able to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My schedule includes regular breaks, allowing me to attend to your dog’s needs, offer potty breaks, playtime, walks, affection, and companionship without long periods of separation. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as multiple rooms that can be used to give dogs their own space when needed. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, creating a comfortable, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. Most importantly, I will be home the entire time your dog is in my care, ensuring they receive attentive supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their stay.
“Tara kept our 5 month old rottie while we were out of town. He had never been around other dogs except for our 6 lbs. Schnoodle who he was much too big and rough for. She was great with our Diesel and he learned some great puppy manners while there. We will definitely book again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Rambo! She took amazing care of him over the weekend and made the whole experience completely stress free. She kept me updated with pictures/ videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and showed how happy and well cared for he was. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Rambo and treated him like one of her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy!😊”
About: I had my first furry friend when I was 18 against my mom’s will and everyone knows how the story ends right?! Yes she was calling herself grandma after the first week. I’m married now and we have 2 kids, waffles and pancake, yes we love breakfast food. Playing and going for walks aside from giving them love is my skill, they are also here for one lifetime experience so they do deserve to get all the love that they give us. I am currently working full time but I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day, I’m mostly looking to help around the weekends or evening care after 5pm 7 days a week. We live in an apartment, our cat goes on walks once a day and I would be happy to care for your pet in your home as well.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!
“Rebecca took amazing care of Boomer!! Great communication and she sent pictures and videos throughout of walks and play time. She has a large fenced in backyard that is perfect. She went the extra mile of helping him eat when he was initially a little nervous. We will definitely book with Rebecca again and really appreciate the great care!!”
“Loren is top notch! Our dogs loved being able to run around her property and play with her dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay and was always very quick to respond. Loren is super easy to work with and was very flexible when I had some last minute changes in pick up time. And she gave the boys baths and nail trims- I mean what more could you ask for. 10/10!”
“Rachelle Was Great I Had A Death In The Family And I Was So Distraught I Needed A Break So I Find Her! And I Wasn’t Disappointed At All If U Looking For A Great Sitter Rachelles Your Girl!”

Carson was such a great sitter for my Milano!! She sent pics and updates everyday, made me feel really safe and extra assured that she was taking good care of my baby. Her dogs were also very welcoming so they made him feel right at home! Definitely recommend her!!
Eloise was an Angel sent from above. Dogsitter cancelled a day before my trip and Eloise was more than happy to help me, she sent me Daily updates, kept me informed, and treated my Dog like royalty. So much so my dog was kinda sad to come home which broke my heart but I am so happy she had a great time. I will 100% be booking for next trip Thanks a million guys 🌸
The sitter we originally booked wasn’t able to care for our girls because of a change in her work schedule so I had to find someone else ASAP. It was a last-minute request and I’m so glad we found Leah! Since we don’t board them very often, Yuzu especially was super nervous at first and got a little naughty. But by the end, she completely fell in love with Leah. Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Oak Crest 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 Oak Crest 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 Oak Crest.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Crest. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Oak Crest 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
