“Ollie had a great stay with Yueqian and her family. I knew how great a time Ollie had when I saw how much she didn’t want to go home with me. Will definitely trust Yueqian again with Ollie in the future.”
“Danielle took care of Bruno well. It was our first time to leave him with anybody. She responded fast with our calls and accommodated our requests. She sent us pictures and updates while we are gone which made us feel at ease. We will definitely have her take care of our dog again.”
“Stephanie took great care of our two pups. She was responsive, proactive with pictures and communication, and was very capable when it came to following directions with two dogs. We can’t wait to book again when we need help.”
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
“Our experience with Kate was great! Happy to see that our pup had another dog and kids to play with. She sent pics and updates along the way. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kaylah was such a fantastic sitter for my dog, Makai! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly sweet, professional, and flexible. She kept in regular contact with me, always responded quickly, and made sure I felt totally at ease by sending lots of great updates and adorable pictures. Her home is welcoming, and her dog is just as sweet as she is. Makai had such a fun time playing and socializing. lt was clear Makai felt very comfortable and happy in her care. I truly appreciated how communicative and accommodating Kaylah was. It made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I would absolutely trust her to watch Makai again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter!”
“Sidney was great and Ivy trusted her immediately! We got picture updates along the way and you could tell she was having a good time! I will happily use Sidney’s services again in the future! Thank you for taking great care of our fur-baby!”
“Bucky had a wonderful stay at Stella's place! He had lots of attention, multiple walks and snuggles. I received lots of pictures and updates on his care. I could tell he was very happy there. I will definitely book with Stella again in the future.”
“"We had such a wonderful experience with Robert and his family. From the moment Brinkley arrived, they made him feel comfortable and loved. Robert sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, letting us know how Brinkley was eating, sleeping, and spending his day — which meant the world to us. What stood out most was the genuine care and extra one‑on‑one time Robert gave him. Brinkley came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Robert with Brinkley again.””
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your dogs. I know it’s not an easy decision. We also offer weekly Poop Scooping service - Just ask! I have always had a family dog. I have run an in home doggy day care, owned a pet treat bakery, earned my Vet Tech degree, worked in veterinary clinics, a specialty animal hospital, and as a pet nutrition consultant. I have cared for young and old, sick and healthy. I have seen everything at this point. One of my dogs had seizures so I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with a pet with medical conditions. I’m here to help. I hope to make this my full time job aside from mom. I have 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Check ins fit nicely into our busy family schedule. I’ll take time for each pet. Chatting with them, snuggles, pets, let me know what they need and I'll do my best to make sure they feel your love!
“Lara did a outstanding job with our little dog Izzy. She kept us informed on how Izzy was doing with photos, videos, and text messages since we were gone for two weeks to visit our family in Anchorage. We will definitely use her again. I was afraid that our Izzy wasn't going to want to come back home. I highly recommend that you give her a try. Very reasonable compared to other sitters.”
“If I could leave more stars I would, I can not recommend Kyle enough! Our pups stayed for a week and had a blast. Kyle kept in contact with updates, brought them to see us (we were local to a fun spot for them to try the beach out), and he took wonderful care of our puppies. If you need a sitter in the area, I would definitely recommend going with Kyle!”
“Erin was a great sitter! She provided lots of updates and my cattle dog had lots of fun running around with her golden retriever in their huge fenced yard. Would definitely use Erin again in the future!”
“Clare was awesome! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with lots of photos. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks and was really attentive to her needs and food preferences. Highly recommend!”
“There aren't enough good things to say about Andy. I very rarely board my dog, but after a week with him she might as well have been with me. He took peach in like a dog of his own and I wouldn't hesitate to give him a call! If give 6 stars if I could!”
“Demetri had a great stay with Taylor & his family. It was his first visit and highly successful. I would recommend Taylor for your dog. He provides a safe, positive environment. We'll book with him again.”

Ty so much for taking such good care of Baylen. I really appreciate all the pictures and updates it made my trip more enjoyable to know he was in good hands. It was an easy pick him up and drop him off since you were so close to my house. If I have any more trips I will definitely use this service again. Ty ty ty

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 Saint James 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 Saint James.
<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 Saint James 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.
