“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.”
“Shanna was the best! She took great care of our energetic labs! We enjoyed the updates and pictures throughout their stay. Goose and Tater clearly enjoyed themselves. I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”
“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!!”
“We were very anxious about leaving our dog for the first time since we got him 6 months ago. Kelly took good care of him and sent us pictures and updates. He came back home happy and adjusted right away. We will definitely use Kelly again!”
“Mary and William treated our dogs like their own. They kept us updated with how the pups were doing and just went above and beyond. We would definitely book again in the future. Very happy with our experience!”
“Brittany took wonderful care of our dog, Lola. She sent pictures and videos everyday and had plenty of love and care. Lola has become best friends with her poodle too! She had a blast running around in the yard and meeting new friends, like goats and horses. I would definitely recommend Brittany, your fur babies will be in good hands!”
“Apollo loves Bri! We are so glad we found her on Rover. She sent a lot of pictures during his overnight stay and he always looked super happy. After this stay, we have continued to take Apollo to Bri's in-home dog day care. She does some training with him and he comes home exhausted from all the play time throughout the day. Thanks, Bri!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Peaches. From the moment we arrived, she and her family seemed to connect with Peaches immediately. I was initially apprehensive about leaving her in a home with other dogs, but any concerns quickly disappeared when Peaches started playing with her new friends before we could even leave. Throughout the stay, Michelle provided daily photos and kept us updated on Peaches's eating habits and potty activities, which gave us great peace of mind. Peaches also enjoyed plenty of exercise, including daily walks on the nearby trails. It's clear that Michelle genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like part of the family. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Dropped our two dogs (5 month old pitbull mutt) and (2 year old pug) off to stay with Sierra during our 4 day vacation! Sierra did a great job taking care of them making sure they were being played with, got plenty of activity, were well fed, and happy! As well as daily updates and a few nice pictures. Will book again ! Thank you Sierra !”
“Tyeriah is wonderful! The last time we boarded our terrier we got back a very sick and anxious dog that required medical attention. She had a great experience with Tyeriah. We got regular updates and our dog was returned happy, healthy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Tyeriah and will use her again in the future.”
About: I have always watched all my families fur babies. They have been well loved just as my own. I’m always watching training videos on dog behavior as to be ready at all times and recognizing when to step in. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home majority of my days unless I’m running errands. So they are in my care at all times. I love to send videos and pictures to keep everyone updated. So I’m hoping to love on your fur-babies soon. I’m a stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of my days unless I’m out running an errand or out with my sister doing an activity with my kids. But most of my days consist of being at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a really big back yard and open front yard and woods. We are back in the corner of the woods. I also have 2 big dogs that will help guide your dog on how to do things. I also have a crate if need be for a large breed dog if that’s something they are use too. I’m more than welcome to walk your dogs on a leash if you felt more comfortable
“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.”
“absolutely amazing with my pup. he wasn't sleeping through the night but that has changed since his first weekend stay and i'm beyond grateful. she was kind and professional and truly a major help this past weekend.”
“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.”
“Kate and her family welcomed our girls so willingly. Not many folks acclimate to two hundred pound dogs roaming about their home, but these folks did. Thank you for watching our girls. You are fabulous!”
“Jackson had a fantastic time. Bradley & Stephanlee took care of my boy and treated him like family. Was attentive to any request I had. Communication was fast and easy.”
“Last minute booking as we had to urgently go to Atlanta. Leslye was responsive almost immediately. My dog instantly felt at home as he rushed in to make himself comfortable. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“My dog Star was well taken care of. He was provided with lots of cuddles and hugs while I was away. I think he even got a bath of some sorts. I will use Brooke again to watch Star if I go out of town. Thanks!”

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 River Haven 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 River Haven.
<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 River Haven 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.
