“We were extremely happy with the care Julia gave our very timid pup. Julia was very willing to set up a puppy playpen for our little guy. She was very patient with him and eventually he came out of his safe space playpen. Julia sent pictures and text updates every day. By the end of his stay our pup seemed comfortable in her home and would go outside with her. Julia's patience with our timid pup was above and beyond. Her updates a picture helped to reduce our concerns of leaving our pup behind. We found him happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely look to request Julia again.”
“Elaine was very easy to work with and constantly kept me updated with pictures and how they were doing. Zoe got out of the fence on Sunday and she was up front and honest with me about it and did everything to make sure my baby was back safe! I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their families most prized fur babies!”
“Mia was great. She boarded my cat Payton while I went on a family vacation for a week. I was very nervous leaving Payton and she made me feel comfortable and provided daily updates. She was very patient with Payton and me. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”

“Alexandria was very accommodating when taking our pup fairly last minute for the night. She kept us well informed with updates and photos throughout, and we knew he was in good hands with her and her own pups. He seemed to have a lot of fun!”
“We have used Sarai a few times over the past year and she is always so good with our dogs! Our dogs have always been reluctant boarders in the past that would result in high anxiety at drop off and after pick up, but not here. They head right in and are right at home! She has a fenced in back yard that my dogs love. They come home nice and tired but so calm afterwards with no separation anxiety afterwards like we've seen before. 100% recommend!”

“Wow! My Luna had a real pampered retreat staying with Barbara L. The pictures that Barbara shared with us showed us that Luna was really having a great time. From the meet & greet, I knew that these two would be fine. Typically, Luna will not eat the first day or two. Barbara shared a picture of Luna chowing down just a few hours after we left. I highly recommend Barbara. It is evident that she really loves animals and is extremely responsible about their safety and comfort. I will definitely reach out to Barbara to watch Luna for my next get-away.”
“Kelley was a great babysitter for Darcy. She kept us updated with photos throughout the weekend! Darcy who is a year and a half had the best time with her boys. I would definitely recommend Kelley to anyone looking for a sitter and I will be using her again!”

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
