“Annie was great. She sent several pictures and updates on Gandalf every day. Her home was very safe for our cat and she is definitely "tuned in" for knowing or figuring out how to engage with a cat for exercise and play time. We will definitely be back to Annie for our cat boarding needs. Thanks Annie!”
“Hailey responded rapidly from prebooking all the way through the last day of boarding. I highly recommend her to watch your dog. Our dog Dasher was very happy when I came to pick him up. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for a long time. Since I was a young child. I am a dog lover, as my family has 3 dogs of our own, they are beagles. I enjoy spending time with dogs - petting them, walking them, and playing with them. I was formerly in law enforcement so you can count on me for safety. We have a fenced back yard. Our dogs love having friends over and our kids love dogs as well. There is almost always someone home to care for our dogs. I love to spend time with my family and with our dog. We also enjoy meeting other dogs, and making connections with the pet parents, also. For the safety of my children and pets, all first-time clients must complete a Meet & Greet at least 48 hours before a stay can be confirmed. I do not accept last-minute bookings without a prior visit. I have a large back yard that's fully fenced in. The fenced in back yard is around half an acre. We also have 3 dogs of our own, that we love and care for. I am a former law enforcement officer.
About: My husband and I have been fostering dogs since February 2023. Sadly (or happily, rather), several of those fosters became foster fails. We went from having 1 dog and 2 cats to 4 dogs and 4 cats…but we wouldn’t have it any other way :) Our 4 cats are all extremely friendly and loving. Charlie is 6, Harley is 3, and Sweet Potato and Clementine just turned 1. Every single one of our dogs is a rescue. Molly is 9 months, Banjo is 7 months, Mia is 10-12 years, and Georgie is 8-10 years. Molly & Banjo were rescued with Paws of the Pines Rescue based in Southern Pines, NC. Mia & Georgie are a sister duo that we found dumped in the woods, and are the best senior pups we’ve ever encountered. My husband and I care deeply for all animals and do this because we love it, not for the money. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re in need of care. We will do what we can to serve you! I (Megan) wake up at 4:30 daily to let the dogs out, walk them, and feed them breakfast. I leave for work at 6. Jacob then wakes up and cares for the dogs until he leaves for work at 7. The dogs are crated until we come home. After work they engage in another walk, training, puzzles, you name it, and are highly active until bedtime around 9. The cats have an automatic feeder and water fountain. They love lounging around in the living room if the dogs are calm. All 4 cats are friendly and curious. Harley hangs around outside most of the day and the orange brothers are in and out as they please. Charlie is mostly indoors with the occasional peek at the outside world. Pets that enter my home will remain in the main living area with the puppies. The cats in my home are free to roam through the whole house. Dogs will need to be crate trained and okay other pets. I will accommodate their meals according to the owners’ requests. We are an active family, so walks are common!
“Alexis and her husband took wonderful care of our two high energy dogs during a week-long beach trip. Our pups returned happy and exhausted from their stay. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Amber did a wonderful job taking care of my Skye. She stayed updating me on everything that was going on. If you’re looking for someone who is going to treat and love your babies right Amber is the perfect person.”
“Our stay didn’t work out due to our pups not getting along but I would still recommend Jessica! She has a great space for dogs and was very kind, and i know had our pups gotten along Clementine would have been well taken care of!”
“Ashley was so great! I met with her before booking to let Clark meet her and her son. She sent me cute pictures and videos of Clark and kept me up to date with any questions she may have had. If I ever have to go away again, I’d book with her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I currently have a dog Enigma.. She is a little mixed breed girl. When I stay at your house she does need to come with me. If it is necessary to keep her separated from your pack , that is not a problem. I always bring her carrier with us and if need be she would have no interactions with your animals. I have references who can attest to this. She likes cats, but I will not let her near yours When I look for a pet sitter I am looking for someone who will take care of my fur babies like I do. I have experience pet sitting with many sizes, breeds and ages of animals and specialize in big dogs and specical needs animals. I have a client that is blind, aand one that is deaf and another that was a diabetic. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows,, ponies,, rats, reptiles, a tortoise, chickens, a miniature donkey, birds, goats, pigs and fish. I have watched up to 50 animals while working with animal sanctuaries and I have experience administrating medications. I can provide boarding for cats and dogs. I also courier animals to their new families across the country by either flying or driving. I love animals and will treat your animals as if they were my own. I am available nights, weekends and holidays. Having worked with animals I try and observe them to better relate to their wants and needs. Sending pics and updates daily to keep you posted on how your fur babies are doing is very important to me. Please do not assume that I will care for any other animals that you have for no charge. I Animal caretaker is my fill time job. I absolutely LOVE what I do! I find it very relaxing and rewarding to spend time with animals. I do not have a fenced in yard, but i do have a large outdoor pen for play time. Your animals health and happiness are my top priority. I will care for your fur babies and your home just as I do my own, with the utmost respect care that I can give. I am a USDA certified Class T transport carrier.
“Anastasia did a wonderful job with Bella! Bella is a rescue GSD who had a pretty traumatic start ( being caged with her sister for at least years). This was her first time away. Anastasia was gentle, and put Bella at ease. Walked her often. I got updates and pics. Will definitely book again.”
About: Hi!! Born and raised in Alaska, I have my way down south to play soccer and study at Wingate University! A little bit about me - I had a dog for 18 years of my life and have taken care of every kind of dog (and other pets) since I was about 14. I LOVE animals and treat the ones I care for like my very own, which brings me not only joy but a lot of repeat customers! I also have experience fostering puppies/dogs. To add, I have experience with senior dogs and administering medicines. I am also very active and love getting outside/playing with your pets! I am a student athlete at Wingate University, however my schedule in the spring is fairly light. I have a couple classes in the morning and then am free for a couple hours during the day until practice at 4pm that usually lasts about 1-2 hours. I am completely free in the evening after that! Pet care would fit into my weekly routine per request of the client. Drop ins, walks, or check ins would be very doable, realistic, and enjoyable for me to do throughout the week! I care for the pets as I would care for my own. I take notes and make sure to follow all the clients requests about food, boundaries, behaviors, and anything else that is necessary. I also love to keep in touch with the client by sending them pictures/updates of their fur babies, especially if I am watching them for an extended period of time. If the client wanted to meet me prior to allowing me to care for their dog, I would gladly do so!

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 Ruby 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 Ruby.
<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 Ruby 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 SC 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.
