“Diana and Jesse did an amazing job watching my anxious rescue dog. They even watched her during thunderstorms (a stressful event for my dog) and she did not carry any anxiety forward from the storm! I could not be more pleased with how well they took care of June Bug! :)”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Hanna! He enjoyed playing with her two dogs, and judging by the pictures we received, he loved getting attention from Hanna's little girls! He came home happy and tired from a great weekend!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such kind and attentive hands. I really appreciate the time, patience, and love you showed!!! I will be rebooking! Thanks again😊😊😊💕”
“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“This is my first time ever using an app like this to find a sitter for my dog so I was super nervous and anxious but I soon found out I had nothing to worry about! Kimberley took really great care of my fur baby, sent me daily pictures, and best of all she had another pup for him to play with and keep him busy which is amazing since my dog is VERY energetic. Dropping him off and having my sister pick him up was very easy and straightforward, my nerves were at ease leaving Junior with Kimberley and I will definitely be reaching back out to her any time Junior needs a sitter!!”
“Amber is the greatest. I will never have any problem leaving my puppy with her. Matter of fact I think she has a better time over there than she does with me at the house.”
“My family and I were preparing to head out of town for my birthday when we realized, in the middle of all the planning, that we had forgotten to schedule a sitter for Oakley. Like any dog mom would, I immediately went to Rover and was pleasantly surprised to see several sitters available. I reached out to a few profiles, and Rebecca D. responded right away, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Rebecca was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We quickly coordinated a plan for dropping Oakley off, and the process was seamless. When we arrived, Rebecca was already outside waiting for us and gave clear instructions on where to park. She even invited us inside, which we politely declined, but I thought it was such a thoughtful gesture. Prior to our arrival, she also shared information about her dog’s temperament, which I really appreciated. Throughout the weekend, Rebecca kept us updated with photos and videos of Oakley, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. When we picked him up, he was excited to see us, but it was also obvious that he had a wonderful time with her. Oakley came home happy, and we are so thankful for the care Rebecca provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!”
“Many thanks to this wonderful fam for taking care of our Charlie, again! Our dog gets along and plays so well with Dottie - he always is so happy when we pick him up.”
“Kordula and family took our pup into their home and treated her like one of their family. She sent pictures every day and we felt so happy and comfortable with her staying there. She was amazing!”
“Lauren was great! She was super easy to communicate and schedule with, and the meet and greet put me at ease seeing my pup Leo exploring her large fenced-in yard and hanging out with their friendly pup Riley. Leo had a great time playing at Lauren’s house and I got daily updates and photos of how he was doing. Highly recommend!”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Jerry creates a great environment for my pups to interact and accommodates their very different energy levels. His own pups are also so well raised and get along well with my own pups. Jerry also updates me throughout the stay with pictures. I feel peace of mind knowing they will be well cared for when they’re with Jerry.”
“So thankful for Carlita. She helped my husband and me out from August 12-14 when we were out of town and turned around and helped us with Daycare and Boarding when my mother had to go into the hospital for several days. Lewey loves being with her and playing with Snow, so it is always added fun for him. We always know he is in good hands when Carlita takes care of him. I highly recommend her, and she always makes Lewey feel welcomed.”
“Niles always seems to enjoy his time with Jessie and Clay. They are both very kind and good about sending pictures and updates. I never have any worries at all when I leave Niles with them.”
“Tokena provided great care for Beans in my absence. She is very dependable and make you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby. She stayed in contact and provided me with pictures that warmed my heart. She is surely added to my list for many more stays.”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Alex was so great with my 2 dogs! We had a meet and greet to introduce the dogs and she made me feel super comfortable about leaving them in capable hands. Very responsive, provided great updates, and I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. I would definitely recommend and will book again with Alex when I need a sitter!”

I can’t say enough great things about my experience! Towanna took such good care of my baby, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout her stay. She sent multiple pictures and videos every day, kept Luna on her regular schedule, and made sure she got plenty of walks and attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in good hands. I could tell Luna was comfortable and well cared for, which means everything to me. I’m so happy I found someone I can trust with my girl and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
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!

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.
95% of sitters in Powhatan 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 Powhatan 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 Powhatan.
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 Powhatan. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 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.
