“This was a 14 week old rescue that I only had for 2 weeks. I was grateful to find a sitter with such high ratings. We communicated everyday. I would happily use Leslie again.”
“Kathy is top notch! Bella obviously has a good time with her dog, Bruno, and her cat. Kathy is just as obviously an excellent caretaker. She's so cooperative when we need to rearrange times, or anything else to make things work. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Kayla was very responsive and provided wonderful updates. My two dogs were very happy and got plenty of love and attention! The whole family interacted with my girls and they had a wonderful experience at Kayla’s.”
“Copper had an awesome stay with Aunt Dana. She really treated him like her own with so much love. She sent lots of pictures and thoughtful updates. We could tell he was in good hands!”
“Ashley was a perfect fit for our dog, Ollie. She was great with him and kept us updated with messages and pictures of how he was doing. We will definitely ask Ashley first if we need somewhere for Ollie tp stay.”
“Ms. Norma was so great with Daisy & I felt completely comfortable leaving her while we were out of state when my initial plans fell through!! She sent pictures & updates daily the entire time we were gone!! I would for sure rebook her if needed again in the future. Daisy had the best time playing & being loved on!! She was worn out when we got home from all her playing!!”
“Anamika truly treats your pets like her own. Our pup had an upset tummy while we were gone and she went the extra mile to make him bland food and gave us updates throughout the day for the length of our trip. She’s truly the best!”
“Amazing sitter! Got a lot of updates which really eased my anxieties about leaving my puppy. She was super kind and made sure that I knew she was ok throughout my whole trip. She went above and beyond by brushing her and walking her multiple times a day. If you’re looking for a sitter I would recommend her any day.”
“Cinthya took care of my dog Pumpkin for a weekend and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent pictures! My dog loved it and looked very happy and well taken care of! Will definitely book again”
“Dennise watched Stormie with quick notice. She was kind and accommodating. She was responsive during the time Stormie was boarded and she provided me with pictures and updates to keep my mind at ease. Even when Stormie had a few accidents, she continued to provide the best quality care. Her assistance was much appreciated!”
“Brittany provided exceptional care for my two dogs, Renzo and Lolo, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. She was attentive, caring, and made sure they felt comfortable and loved while they were in her care. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys working with animals and treated my boys as if they were her own. Renzo and Lolo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciated the communication and attention she provided throughout their stay. I would highly recommend Brittney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. The boys can't wait to spend time with her again! 🐾💕”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! AMAZING, CARING, LOVING, ATTENTIVE, PROFESSIONAL, The whole family are all these and so much more. Talk about loving your fur babies, they love my babies as much as I do and they feel it.”
“Annie gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town for the weekend. She seemed right at home, and the community she lives in is very safe and dog-friendly. at the end of my stay, I received a wonderful "letter from Chloe" of all the things she did while I was gone. I will absolutely rebook again!”
“Carolina was great with our dog Lucky! He had so much fun playing with her pup Lola. Carolina sent updates and pictures every day, which we LOVED. Communication was great from the start. I would definitely use her again.”
“There’s no better, more attentive pet sitter than Ms. Jeanette. She made sure to send us daily updates on our girl to ease our minds. We last minute booked this trip and because she has watched Nala in the past, she was able to fit us in which was very nice. Repeat client over here!”
“Michael, Emily and their kiddos did a great job caring for our 3 yr old bernadoodle. Daisy loved her time with them. She got to go on walks, play ball, take care of rides and chilled with the family. It was a great experience for everyone. Will definitely book with Emily and Michael again.”
“We were really nervous about leaving our 6moths old puppy with Elizabeth and Kevin. But Ginny had so much fun, she might want to stay forever next time we drop her off! Elizabeth was sending us updates and cutest pictures and videos of Ginny having fun and living her life. She came home happy and exhausted! Thank you for taking care of her (and us!) so well!”
“Bri and her family love our dog, Cooper. We had an almost two week trip and we knew that Cooper was in great hands. We're already planning our next booking!”

Ashley was absolutely great! She helped me out last minute, was very accommodating, communication and responsiveness was top notch. My little one was well taken care of, I felt at ease, especially with this being the first time I've used this platform (or any like it). She also sent video and pics. I most definitely recommend and will use her in the future.

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 Red Cross 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 Red Cross.
<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 Red Cross 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.
