“Rey took great care of our senior dog and kept us informed the whole time we were away! She’s easy to work with and was very helpful with handling unexpected situations that came up.”
“Geysi was great with our dog and accommodated last minute requests. She even met us the first time to drop off and pick him up since we had trouble with our GPS. I highly recommend Geysi and plan to use her again.”
“She is great! My dog loved her. She kept me updated with pictures which I loved, and informed me if there was any changes. She walked her and everything. I would definitely recommend and Ms. Maggie will be seeing her again. Thanks again!”
“I had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She took amazing care of my two dogs, Tyson and Nemo, and my two cats, Salem and Kitty. She was loving, attentive, and responsible, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing that all four of my fur babies were in such good hands. It’s clear that she truly cares about animals and treats them with love and kindness. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies 🐈🐕🐈⬛🐶”
“Emily was great! She took wonderful care of Pumpkin and Pumpkin looked super happy to be there! She sent a bunch of pictures and videos. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my boys received! Casey kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My boys came home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Casey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Rena P provided exceptional care for my dog. She is incredibly caring, energetic, and professional. We received consistent updates and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find someone you trust implicitly with your pet, but Rena P is definitely that person!"”
“Shilo loved his stay, he really respected her. She is an amazing sitter I would recommend her to anyone. I was really thankful she took him last minute. We will definitely come back to her in the future.”
“Laura was very accommodating and super sweet to my girls? I got pictures every day that I was gone. I could see that they were cozy in the evenings and having fun running out in the yard when they were let out. I will be going back to her again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the very beginning Kimberly was excellent with communication and reassuring that my pups were in good hands. She regularly updated me with photos during the stay that gave me a peace of mind.”
“Jacqueline was a fantastic sitter for my husky!! She provided many photos and shared lots of updates for her 3 night stay. Her yard was ample space for my dog to run and play. Jacqueline even took her for a walk. Her family had other animals my dog enjoyed being around. Her home was immaculate, especially considering my overly shedding dog. I made a short visit to check on Khalessi and she had no problem with my family doing a quick hello. I would always use Jacqueline for my stays in Fayetteville. I already recommended her to friends and family.”
“They communicated quickly and often sending pictures and giving updates over the days. Most importantly they made Simba’s first time away great and accommodated any needs I had.”
“Milo had such a good time and Michel gave multiple updates each day! I will definitely use her again. I also want to note, he played outside quite a bit with her dogs but didn’t come back smelly which was so surprising! Definitely taking my baby to her again the next time we need a sitter ☺️”
“Ana is amazing. Our fur baby was so loved. It was our first time using Rover and I love it. Thank you Ana for loving our baby like he was your own. We have tried facility boarding before and he would come home shaken and so upset. We have found our fur baby person. Thank you”
“Patricia did an awesome job with our dog, always keeping us informed about how he was doing and sending us pictures, she was patient with our dog and flexible with all the arrangements. Her house is super clean and organized.”
“Kayla is AMAZING!!!! We had a last minute trip and thankfully she was available. Our beagle Honey was treated with such love and respect we’ll definitely be booking again! Kayla is also very educated, and she gave us amazing advice. I had to find our Honey a new vet, and everything Kayla shared with us was correct! I’m so grateful for Kayla and all she has done for our Honey Bun! I’m looking forward to booking soon. Honey had a great time in Kayla’s care! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Marina was so good with my sweet Bea. Her home is a safe and calm environment for any dog. Being away from home is so stressful for my Bea, Marina was so calm and accepting and did her best to keep Bea's stress as minimal as possible. Marina is was also very flexible and worked with my last minute work schedule change. Bea loved her time at Marina's and we will definitely have more stays at her home.”
“I am extremely happy I found Ana on Rover. Not only was she patient and loving toward my little senior fur baby, but she also provided updates to include pictures of my fur baby's progress during her stay. I am forever grateful for the care, and attention Ana provided to my sweet little fur baby while she was in her care. Thank you so much Ana!”
“Jordan & Paulette were awesome!! They communicated often, sent me pic updates and Duke looked so happy to be there with Jordan and Paulette’s dogs. It’s very hard to find reliable pet boarding that provides you with a peace of mind but this was truly a great experience. I will definitely be bringing Duke back! Thanks so much!”

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 Vander 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 Vander.
<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 Vander 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.
