About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
“Tina-Marie was great! She and great questions about my pup, sent all the pictures, and keep me informed while I was away. She had an amazing backyard my pup loved and made sure he was taken care of! I highly recommend Tina-Marie!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I've also trained my own dogs. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and basic training. I'm patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! I work part-time during the week, leaving my mornings and early afternoons open. I'm also fully available on weekends, giving me plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for pets in my home or my client's home. I have one dog who is fully crate-trained and very friendly with both people and other animals. I'm happy to follow each pet's established routine, respect their comfort levels, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
“Debora was amazing. She was very kind and caring. You can tell right away that she truly loves animals. She took great care of our dog Cali. I am so thankful that I found her on Rover. She was great with communication. This was our first experience using Rover and I would do it again. I would recommend Debora to anyone looking for a great care giver to your dog. Thank you Debora.”
“Our pups had a good time with them. They got the care they needed including medication administration and catering to their anxiety. They also offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. They shared lots of photos and regular updates.”
“A great family to watch and entertain my dog. Sammy came back so happy. They were excellent with the communications and sent lots of photos. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them and I would 100% use them again.”
“Norma is wonderful and took great care of my girl, Sadie. I loved getting the daily pictures to see that Sadie was in good hands and enjoying her time with Norma and her dogs while I was away for work. Norma also was flexible as my schedule changed and I had to move drop-off and pick-up times. I will definitely be using her the next time I am away.”
“Honestly super impressed and happy with Onelia. She treated our yorkie with so much love and the best care. Our dog needed a medicine administered at the last minute and Onelia was great about it. Attentive, easy to work with, and gave us peace of mind with updates/photos. 🤍”
“Ashley was so great! I just moved to the area but previously used Rover in TN. Ashley was very responsive and kept me updated with how Brody was doing with text and photos. It’s so comforting having someone so attentive keep my boy while I’m out of town. I will definitely be using Ashley again in the future! Thanks so much ?”
“I would definitely give five stars to Anamika! If it were possible, I would give her ten stars. She was a great surprise to us and Tião. We have used Rover many times, but we finally found someone who genuinely cares for our dog with love. I must confess that I thought my dog would not want to come back home after the exceptional service Anamika provided. Anamika is also committed to let you know how's your dog doing. We will undoubtedly use her services again in the future!”
“Danielle was amazing at taking care of my kitties and was very responsive, would send pictures and even videos to put me and my girlfriend at ease! If you’re in need of someone to watch over your kitties but you’re not sure who to pick, I can rest assure that Danielle will have you covered! If I ever need my kitties to be cared for again; I would choose Danielle!! 1000% Recommend”
“Hannah was so great with my senior dog, Maci! She sent me so many pictures throughout my trip. She let me know when my dog wasn’t feeling well and kept me up to date to keep my mind at ease. Would definitely ask her to keep Maci again and would highly recommend!”
“This is my second booking with Mary and William, and they did an amazing job taking care of my dog once again! They are always professional, kind, and caring. You can genuinely tell how much they love and care for the pets they look after. My dog comes home happy every time, which gives me so much peace of mind when I am away. I truly appreciate them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters. Thank you both again!”
“We left our dog with Bri for the first time for 5 days. She was accommodating and sent updates with pictures every day. Our dog did well with her and her dogs and family. I would happily use Bri again.”

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 Spencer 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 Spencer 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 Spencer.
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 Spencer. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Spencer 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.
