“Kelli & Jacob were absolutely wonderful. They took excellent care of Mo, our Mini Schnauzer, for an entire week while our family travelled. This was our first time using Rover and Mo’s first time being boarded. Kelli & Jacob quickly quelled any initial anxieties. They really took time to understand Mo, his habits, preferences, house boundaries, etc. so they could make him feel at home. Communication was excellent before, during, and after. We also received regular updates throughout the week with photos ❤️ We will definitely be in touch for future trips!”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Tokena provided great care for Beans in my absence. She is very dependable and make you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby. She stayed in contact and provided me with pictures that warmed my heart. She is surely added to my list for many more stays.”
About: I’ve always been a lover of animals. I have my own 2 cats and doggo and they’re my whole world. Before that I had family dogs and cats ever since I was young and they were my favorite thing to see when I came home after a long day. I love to workout with people themselves and animals! It benefits everyone to get up and move throughout the day. Plus dogs should get to experience the world around them too! I’m a stay at home mom, I am expecting our first baby in December. So once the baby is here, I may take a break for a little bit, but I’ll be back! I’m available to walk during typical business hours while my husband is working. I have a two story spacious home with a large fenced in backyard! Our bedroom is on the first floor so even if the dogs are older, they wouldn’t need to go up any stairs. I have a loving dog that will play and run around with them and 2 cats! One is super friendly and will play with them. The other is a little more timid and will most likely just hide.
“Ms. Gail was simply amazing! This was my first time leaving Charlie in the care of someone else while I was away for the weekend. Ms. Gail made the entire experience comforting. I received updates, check ins, and pictures. Ms. Gail was responsive which put my nerves at ease. A huge thank you for keeping Charlie one happy pup while I was gone!!”
“Matt is wonderful! Very communicative, flexible and accommodating, gives quality frequent updates, and took great care of Piper and the stuff we sent with her. We will definitely book with Matt again.”
“Rocky enjoyed his stay with Ma. He was well cared for and Ma provided regular updates and pictures of him. We are very pleased and will be using her in the future.”
“I had an exceptional experience with Jill! She accepted my booking request at the last minute, showing incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite the short notice, she provided top-notch care for my dog Sasha, ensuring they were happy and well-cared for throughout. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and accommodating pet sitter!”
“Danielle provided a fabulous experience for Niko while we were away. He was able to have a lot of social play with many dogs, this was very new to him and he did great! She provided daily updates with pictures and videos to keep us at ease. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend! Thanks again!”
“Josh did another fantastic job taking care of my two dogs! He kept me updated throughout their stay, sending regular photos so I could see how they were doing. It really put my mind at ease. Pickup was quick and smooth, which I appreciated. It's clear that Josh genuinely cares for the dogs, and I always trust him to look after mine. Highly recommend his services!”
“Carlita was a great sitter for my dog, she provided detailed updates via video and photos while my dog was in her care for 12+ days. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in capable and caring hands. I will definitely use her services again.”
“I would highly recommend Arthur for your dog sitting me. He took great care of my dog Cass. He was very responsive while I was gone and sent me updates on how she was settling in.”
“Sally is the best dog sitter! Our baby boy had a blast with the other pops. My husband gets very down when we leave Chewbacca but Sally kept up updates daily and sent us pictures which made my husband enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much Sally! ❤️”
“Paige and her son were wonderful petsitters for Sally over the holidays. She was spoiled with regular walks, lots of playtime outside, extra brushing and special treats. Paige sent regular updates, and I could see from the photos that Sally was comfortable and happy. Looking forward to rebooking a stay for Sally in the future.”
“Its tough leaving a furry friend for 8 days, but we always know Nova is well cared for with Scott & Heather! She comes home tired and happy from playing with their kids and other dogs.”
“Both Noelle and Aaron were totally AWESOME!! My boy is a 1.5 year old pretty high drive working line GSD and, to be honest, I had some reservations.. However, Noelle and Aaron really came through for me! They managed his drive well and must have made him feel right at home b/c I’m not entirely convinced he was all that happy to be coming back home with me at the end of his stay! I certainly have no reservations at all in having Noelle and/or Aaron kenneling my boy again! Highly recommended!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sims is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Sims can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Sims 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 Sims.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sims. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sims 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
