“So happy again with Jenna and the wonderful care she gave our two dogs over our Christmas vacation. We got regular photos and updates while we were gone and I know they were happy and well-cared for.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”
“Heather has watched my dog several times now, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Most recently, she watched my dog while I was on a trip to Europe. I was a little nervous about leaving him, but as soon as Heather told me she was available, I felt so much better and was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands. She sent me pictures every day and took such great care of him. It’s such a relief knowing I can leave him with someone I completely trust. I highly recommend Heather!”
“Andrea was lovely! Our pups came back super happy and has a great time. Andrea did a wonderful job keeping us updated on the dogs and showed a lot of care. Would definitely recommend, thank you Andrea!”
“Olivia was amazing! We left our 7m kitten with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and well taken care of. He absolutely loved staying with her! He got along so well with her male cat and even had fun with her two kids. Olivia was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and we could tell our kitten was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Words can’t express how impressed I am with Floras sitting skills and environment. Her family is very sweet and I can tell my cat was happy when I picked her up. Daily pics and updates from Flora were also well appreciated. The communication was great. Definitely recommend this sitter and will use again in the future!”

About: I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I focus on giving them individualized attention, plenty of love, playtime, and care. I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while keeping you updated for extra peace of mind. 🐾 I attend school three times per week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care. On my available days and around my class schedule, I can give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, care, and love while keeping their usual routine in mind. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention while carefully following any special instructions. I also respect your home and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind!
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: Ive taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 14. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and stay with their dogs. I’m a current student at ECU so I am a part time sitter.

About: All animals will be well taken care of and treated as if they are my own. I even have some experience with animals needing medications. I am currently a part time college student but my school schedule allows alot of flexibility on most days. I tend to be free in the afternoons on multiple days. I am also free for mornings on weekends most of the time. Animals are allowed to free roam in my apartment. I have 2 friendly cats that love to meet new friends. I can crate pets if need be.

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 Road 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 River Road.
<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 Road 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.
