“We were very happy with how Brooke took care of our Corgi. He came out of her house safe and happy and went back the next day happy to see her. We hope to use Brooke again and would recommend her for your pet!”
“Lindy was an excellent sitter for my dog, Max. She was very accommodating and even squeezed him in at the last minute over the Thanksgiving break. She was super communicative, sent pictures and messages every day and a couple videos too when I first dropped him off because she knew I was a nervous Mom. She washed his sheet and slobber rags when I picked him up, gave him a refresh and sent him home with some puppy treats! Lindy will be the only person I will leave my Max with if my sister is not available, she was AWESOME!!!”
“Sam was awesome and treated my baby girl as if she were her own! photos were sent of the fun time that was had while we were also having a great time! We will most definitely be contacting her again for our next planned vacation!”
“Heather and her son took amazing care of our dogs during our wedding weekend. She asked lots of questions ahead of time, sent us daily photos and check ins, and took the extra time to meet our dogs before their stay. My two normally anxious pups came home as calm as if they had been on a relaxing vacation. Her kindness and professionalism greatly reduced our stress during this crazy time, and I have already been recommending her to anyone who asks. Heather is the best!”
“Apollo loves Bri! We are so glad we found her on Rover. She sent a lot of pictures during his overnight stay and he always looked super happy. After this stay, we have continued to take Apollo to Bri's in-home dog day care. She does some training with him and he comes home exhausted from all the play time throughout the day. Thanks, Bri!”
About: I can get your dog in shape, trained, and tired for you to cuddle them to sleep. Can feed and transport them to appointments. Willing to take them to groomers, doctors, or to play dates. I'm currently doing uber and doordash but am looking for more gigs that aren't solely reliant on my vehicle. I don't mind being flexible to perform other tasks while assisting your pets. I will feed them, water them, rewash their bowls or other items, I will take them out to the potty, exercise and play with them, train them, transport them as needed, take them to appointments, light grooming, and wash them.
“My fur babies are treated like royalty here! I think they would rather stay than come home with us! They are loved on and treated like part of the family. I highly recommend them if you need a sitter!”
“Nathan sent updates daily reassuring us that our pup was doing well. He was also flexible when our travel plans faced a delay. Would recommend to anyone who wants a safe and fun environment for their fur babies.”
“Colleen watched our dog Bear for a weekend and she is absolutely fantastic. She is kind and caring and Bear really enjoyed the time with her. He was well cared for and she went above and beyond. It was our first time leaving him for an extended period and we had no worries while Bear was in her care. I would 100% recommend her.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life growing up, giving me a deep understanding of their needs at every stage. This lifelong experience helps me provide loving care, whether it’s training energetic puppies or giving extra attention to senior dogs. Pet care fits into my weekly routine as a side hustle that I’m passionate about. I dedicate specific times to focus on providing attentive and loving care, balancing it alongside my other commitments to ensure every pet gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable space where they feel relaxed and loved, sticking to their regular routines for feeding, exercise, and play. In my client's home, I respect their environment and follow their specific instructions closely to ensure their pets stay happy and stress-free while they’re away.
About: My lifetime dedication to animal behavior began at a young age, training everything from my childhood cats and birds to neighborhood dogs. By the time I was 12, I was already handling pet-sitting duties for family friends, which sparked an obsession with AKC dog shows and canine development. As a teenager, I successfully fostered three high-need rescue dogs, rehabilitating them and placing them into forever homes. When I finally received my first dog, Omega—a brilliant Standard Poodle who lived to be 14—I trained him from scratch in everything from advanced stays to agility pole jumping. To back this natural passion with formal education, I completed three years at Virginia Tech, majoring in Animal & Poultry Science (Companion Animal Track). Through my intensive collegiate lab work, I gained hands-on experience with multiple species and mastered advanced animal husbandry, livestock handling, anatomy, and medical administration protocols (including multiple injection methods). This rigorous science background transitions directly into my capability as a handler. My daily life revolves around the development of working lines and guardian breeds. I specialize in basic and advanced obedience, loose-leash positioning, and structured boundaries. I am actively developing my very first personal sport prospect, hand-feeding for precision obedience. I recently whelped and successfully raised a healthy, large working cross litter of 10 puppies, and I am now offering my training services through my rover profile. What to Expect During Their Stay: Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete needing structured mental outlets, a powerful guardian breed requiring a confident leader, or a companion needing precise medical administration, they will receive elite, customized care. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will be integrated into a clean, highly supervised routine that respects their existing household rules. I offer premium House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and structured Day Care. Space is intentionally kept small to ensure safety, calm boundaries, and individualized attention. Leaving your companion is never easy—trust me, I practice the same care I expect for my own animals. With me, you can have total peace of mind that your dog is in the hands of a dedicated, professional handler. Contact me today to secure your route or schedule a meet-and-greet! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent, round-the-clock supervision for your companion. I can be 100% available when I’m needed. Because I work directly from my home office, your dog will enjoy a highly supervised, safe environment with a dedicated handler present at all times. My time during the day is dedicated entirely to outdoor potty breaks, enrichment, and hands-on interaction. My ultimate professional milestone is transitioning to full-time canine management under my OZN Olympian K9 brand, meaning your pet receives the highest level of focused and attentive care I operate on a spacious one-acre property featuring a massive yard bordered by clean stone landmarks. Safety is my absolute priority, which is why all yard time is strictly supervised by me personally. Dogs with verified, bulletproof off-leash recall are permitted to utilize the full property line. For companions still developing their foundations, I utilize a professional 30-foot training long-line, allowing them total freedom to run and explore safely without any risk of escape. I have A 10 ft x 10ft enclosure for free roam time. Inside my home, I offer a highly versatile, stress-free environment tailored to your dog's specific social needs. I can accommodate social dogs who thrive around other animals, as well as dogs requiring complete separation. If your companion prefers individual space, my personal dogs can be securely rotated to my upper level, and my current puppy prospects are trained to settle quietly in their crates. This leaves my entire downstairs area or my private home office completely open for your dog to relax in. I have multiple heavy-duty, large crates on hand to assist dogs who need a secure, cozy boundary to settle in a new environment. When providing care inside your home for house-sitting or drop-in visits, I maintain that exact same elite standard of structure and safety. I treat your property with the utmost respect, keeping your home clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. While under my care on your property, your dog will follow a precise, customized routine—maintaining their existing house rules, feeding schedules, and crate habits—so they feel completely secure in their own familiar environment. Every dog under my roof receives a deeply enriching routine where I reinforce good canine manners daily, backed by regular text, photo, and video updates!
“Amber was an amazing sitter for my Sam. Right off the bat I could tell she loves animals, and her dog Hank was the sweetest boy. I received so many pictures of them playing, snuggling and enjoying life. I love that my dog was allowed everywhere hers was (furniture, etc.) She took them to the dog park and on walks frequently. Her condo is in a safe neighborhood and is secure. Amber is very personable and I am thankful I found such a great person to watch Sam while I am away. I will definitely be using her often! Highly recommend her services. Thanks Amber and Hank!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up, but as an adult I gained more experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rodents and reptiles. I currently have a senior chihuahua who is 16 years old, a 1 year old chihuahua, a 3 year old border collie mix, as well as 2 cats. I have professional experience with dogs of all sizes, and have cared for a variety of pets. I stay up to date with researching animal behavior and health and feel comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I get off at 4pm on weekdays and never work weekends or holidays, giving me lots of availability to care for your pets! If you book a boarding or daycare service with me on the weekend, I will be home to provide frequent potty breaks and exercise as well as all the belly rubs they might want. I offer check-ins at the client’s home as well as boarding at my home. If boarding your pet at my house, it is important to know I have dogs and cats if my own as well as a young child. I am happy to discuss all requests and rules related to caring for your pet, as I see them as family! I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caregiver that will take your pets on safe walks, feed them the appropriate amount, and ensure their needs are met. I have a large fenced in yard allowing pets to get plenty of exercise while I watch them.

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.
98% of sitters in Star 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 Star 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 Star.
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 Star. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Star 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.
