“Annie and granny Grace kept my dog for a week while I was on vacation. My dog became ill. Annie alerted me and took all the appropriate measures to make sure he was healthy and well taken care of. I trust her 100% she went above and beyond in my opinion.”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time with Dawn and Steve. This was her second visit with them and when we dropped her off, she was so excited to see them again. They kept us updated each day with pictures and videos. They even allowed her to take home her favorite toys. Thank you Dawn and Steve for watching our puppy and keeping her safe and comfortable.”
“Ms. Hope was amazing. Great communication and she loves all the pups like they are her own. Even the ones with a little anxiety! I also liked that she dog sits multiple pups so they make new friends. Definitely rebooking! Thank you 💛”
“I can’t say enough to express my appreciation to London and her family! I feel completely confident to leave my babies to London while I was traveling outside of the US. I can tell how much my babies love her! Highly recommended!”
“Kristian is awesome! Our dog loved being at her home. She sent photos and kept me updated the entire time we had him there. He fit right into her family. So sweet! Definitely would recommend!”
“Alyssa and Spencer took great care of Sadie!! They were able to take her on short notice which was a huge help and gave her lots of love. Thank you Alyssa and Spencer!!”
“Cheryl & Mike took great care of our retired working dog. Tina struggles with separation anxiety, & they jumped at the opportunity to keep our deserving girl while we were away. When they replied that it would be their honor to keep Tina for us, we knew we had found the right family. Thanks for a great week, the photo updates & the always-quick replies! And thanks for loving on our girl!”
“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!!”
“Jill was a dream come true!!! We took the longest trip we have ever taken from our S’mores, and we were a bit worried because she has been suffering from a bit of older age anxiety. Jill was so wonderful with her and got to know her so well before our trip. She was super patient learning about S’mores and she sent such great daily reports! She was an awesome communicator! An added extra is her very lovely parents that showered S’mores with a lot of love and attention as well! Thank you so much, Jill!!!”
“Lovely family! Monica and her son were so kind and patient with Kevin. Our initial meet-and-greet ended quickly because Kevin didn’t seem to get along with one of their dogs at first, but Monica’s son encouraged us to come back and give the dogs more time to get comfortable with each other. I really appreciated that, because Kevin ended up having a great stay based on the photos and updates I received. I’m very happy with the care they gave him, especially since they were able to take him last minute. Thank you again!”
“This by far has been the best Rover experience my dog Gucci is super anxious around people and SINDHU made him feel so welcome. I’m so blessed to I found her and her family. I will definitely use again. My flight was delayed. they even dropped Gucci off. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for your kindness.”
“Dorothy was amazing! Mia was afraid of the fireworks outside, and dororthy comforted her and made sure she felt safe. Dorothy texted me pictures and updates while I was gone, which I loved. I would definitely leave mia with her again!”
“Vedad was amazing. I have two dogs, one who is extra large, and he handled them great and treated them like family. I know my dogs had a great time when they were on vacay. Vedad was also kind enough to stop by my home every so often to feed my two cats and bearded dragon. I plan to use Vedad for any other trips that I have in the future. He was the best dog sitter that I have ever had!”
“Cami took awesome care of Mr. Smokey. He had an awesome time. She kept in contact sending pictures and videos. He looked happy. Thank you Cami for taking care of our little guy while we are away. Will definitely book again 😊”
“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.”
“As always, Geno had a great stay. He loves to vacation with the other fur babies. He’s always excited to see Allison walk out to greet us and take him inside where he knows it’s playtime! We love Allison!!”
“Mariya was wonderful! She took great care of our dog who had been sick, and our cat and both pets got along her adorable Shih Tzu Marie. She was very communicative and flexible! We knew our pets were in great hands!”
“Her and her family were AMAZING! She sent updates, pics and videos throughout each day. I always knew what Rain was up to. I will 100% be asking her to watch our pup again!”
“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!”

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.
96% of sitters in Oakboro 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 Oakboro 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 Oakboro.
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 Oakboro. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Oakboro 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.
