“I have 2 young Siberian Huskies that Ashley took care of for us. Ashley is a wonderful person. She has a kind, caring, loving personality. My dogs were very well taken care of. I would recommend her services to anyone. And I will most definitely be a returning client. ??”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little! I've always loved animals and wanted to take on the responsibility of caring for them. Whether this was my next door neighbors or my own, I was always up for the job! I own a mini horse (my 1 year old saint bernard), 1 inside only cat, and 2 outside cats. As for work, I am a fourth grade teacher and have the patience and enthusiasm to be the pet sitter you need. Currently, I am a 4th grade teacher and because of my schedule, I am only able to board animals from Friday afternoon through Sunday. I am available to do drop in visits Monday through Sunday. I have a fenced in backyard that connects to another fenced in yard belonging to my parents and their two dogs. These areas are closed off unless I want the dogs to have some play time. All 3 dogs, including my own, are very sweet and get along well! Dog can be easily crated if needed, I own a large crate with a lot of room. As for your home, I will treat it like it's my own and love your pets like they are my own. Animals provide a nice change from the chaos that goes on in the everyday life of a teacher. I look forward to taking your fur baby on walks, providing enrichment, and other pet related needs!
“Gail was absolutely fantastic with Wallace. He looked so happy and settled in every photo and clearly had an amazing time with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Wallace with Gail again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring”
“I couldn’t have found a better person to take care of my dogs. Monica took such great care of them, showered them with affection, and kept me updated throughout the week. So glad to have found such a great person to take care of my little ones.”
About: I’ve worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility for the last 2 years, and have done volunteering and sitting previously. I’ve cared for many dogs ranging from 8 weeks to in their late senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs as well as administering medication by mouth. I’m currently working and in school part time, so I have some extra time throughout the week and weekends! I am available any weekday except Wednesdays and Fridays. When I’m not in school or working, I would love to care for your pup! I would follow the feeding instructions, making sure your pup has food and water at all necessary times. I would make sure their space is clean, and that they are let out to use the bathroom periodically. To ensure that your pup is safe and comfortable I would love to know their typical habits and behaviors around your home.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was 21. I am a nurse and feel comfortable taking care of dogs of any age. I currently have my own doggo who is a 14yr old, spade, lab beagle mix. I am presently working from home and have availability for daily pet care. Even for my own dog I am traditionally not away for more than a few hours. I have a fenced in patio and my own dog to help keep your pet company. Walks will always be leashed ones. If there are any concerns with how your pet and mine would get along I would be more than happy to conduct meet and greets.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life and I consider them family. I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years through pet sitting, fostering, and caring for my own pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different needs and routines. I can also administer medications when needed. I work from home full-time, which means your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m able to provide potty breaks and attention at least every 2 hours throughout the day, along with plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I’m also available for drop-in visits at your home if your pet is more comfortable in their own space. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I work from home full time so I have the ability to let your pets out frequently. I also have a dog of my own so I can work her routine into that of your dog. I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks. I can also arrange for leashed walks in the neighborhood. All dogs are family to me so I do allow them on the furniture (if the owner approves) and I prefer crate training when I leave the house to make sure all dogs are safe.
“Bianka was absolutely wonderful! She was so friendly and kind from the start, and her communication was great throughout the entire time she watched my dog. I could tell she truly cared, giving lots of love and attention, which put my mind at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup! I highly recommend Bianka to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

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.
97% of sitters in Penelo 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 Penelo 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 Penelo.
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 Penelo. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Penelo 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.
