“Aimee was phenomenal with Oshie. She took great care of her, and I could tell when I picked her up that she was so happy. Aimee sent daily pictures and updates, which, as a pet parent, everyone loves pupdates! I will definitely be contacting Aimee to watch Oshie again. Thank you for taking my baby in and loving her as much as I do!”
“Very awesome! Blue is on a raw diet and she was willing to accommodate that. She gave me daily updates, which let me know how he was doing! Will definitely be using again!”
“Laura was FABULOUS with our Chili! She treated him as her own and he has deemed her (As well as her dog!) his new best friends. She is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated with so many pictures and videos while we were away. She has a lovely personality and is most certainly the epitome of a dog person. Thank you Laura!”
“Tracy made drop-off and pick-up super easy for our Golden Retrieiver Rosie She kept her cool during the hot July days and comfortable when she got nervous about fireworks. She kept us updated with pics throughout the week. Would highly recommend!”
“We are extremely happy with the care Maria gave our two fur babies. My fur babies received belly rubs, play time with her 2 children and her fur baby. They loved to run in her big enclosed yard. She administered monthly medicine, gave them baths and even washed their bedding. I received videos and pictures of their daily routine. She took care of them as if they were her own. Maria is awesome. I definitely will be using her again. I highly recommend her. Thank You Maria. ❤️”
“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”

“Sarah took excellent care of our dog Storm! She sent us lots of pictures and updates and we could tell our dog was loving her time there!! We are so thankful we found her!”
“Brianna did an amazing job taking care of my 6-month-old puppy! She clipped her nails and took such great care of her. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me know how she was doing. She seemed to have such a great time with her! I really enjoyed the entire experience, from booking with Brianna and meeting her to having her care for my puppy. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. I’m so happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone looking for an amazing sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Bo is a 16-year-old dog who has anxiety and doesn’t really like change so I was very nervous to leave him for five days. Carlita was so patient with Bo. She also helped ease my worry by sending daily updates with pictures/video! The first and last time we boarded Bo at a facility he looked depressed in the cameras; with Carlita he looked happy and was smiling!! I will certainly be reaching out to Carlita in the future! Thank you Carlita for taking such wonderful care of our Bo!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I work very close to home which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! My husband and I are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Milika did a wonderful job caring for my Moses. Got plenty of updates and pictures. She even accommodated his special food request, to ensure he wasn’t too sad to eat. Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. 10/10 recommend.”
“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”
About: For the past year I've been pet sitting for friends and clients. I take care of the feeding, walks, and playtime, and I stick to whatever routine your pet is used to. I set my own work hours, so it's pretty easy for me to fit pet care in. I'm usually free weekday evenings and weekends and I'm happy to plan visits around whatever your pet's used to. Since I have two dogs myself, I know all about that stuff. You can be assured that your dog will get his food on time, he will get enough potty stops and play as well. My backyard is fenced / I walk him always on the leash, and I will be checking all the doors and gates each time.
“Teddy has stayed with Hannah and Tiff twice. She was great with communication and updates. For me the second time is always telling and Teddy was super excited when we pulled into the neighborhood and pulled me straight to their door once out of the car. That told me all I needed to know, Teddy had a great time with Hannah and Tiff, their sweet pup and the two kittens.”
“Barbara's took great care of our Ellie, giving her plenty of attention--they had lots of play time and walks. Her communication was good sending pictures and video's to us all along the way. She even sent Ellie home with a new favorite toy.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Powhatan
Kamayla was absolutely amazing with my dog, Beau! I was away for several days, and she took great care of him, even with his separation anxiety. She kept me updated consistently with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about Beau’s well-being. I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Kamayla to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Brittany has been my go to for drop in visits for years now and showed the same level of care and communication when she took care of my dog over the weekend. She made sure my dog was comfortable and had plenty of snuggles and playtime, I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!

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 Powhatan 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 Powhatan.
<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 Powhatan 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.
