“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!”
“Andrea is a true dog lover and quickly formed a great bond with Flow. She provided nightly updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Andrea is also very flexible, and we’re happy to have her as Flow’s sitter.”
“From the time of booking through the end of the stay, Brittany made everything go smoothly. Videos were sent of my pup and he looked so happy. It’s like he was on a vacation of his own. Highly recommend sending your pups to Brittany.”
“Martine and Ron were an answer to my prayers! Cello, my 11 year old dachshund, stayed for 7 days. I received regular updates that put my mind at ease. Martine patiently answered my questions leading up to and during Cello's stay. They followed all instructions and even kept Cello on his eating/sleeping schedule. I highly recommend Martine and Ron! 😊”
“Tania is an amazing person and an excellent sitter. She took very good care of our pet Teddy. He had an amazing time playing in the backyard. He looked so happy and content in the photos. Tania took him out for walks and even played with him. She took really good care of Teddy. Thank you so much Tania.”
“Ana and Pietro did an amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs. They kept us updated with photos on a daily basis and were well exercised. Our dogs had a great time and we will definitely use them again. They were also accommodating when our flight got delayed which we appreciated.”
“Lori is cool, clutch, and kind — a total gem of a sitter! I had such an awesome experience with her caring for my two senior Frenchies, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. One of my pups has actual special needs and the other just thinks he’s — and Lori met both of them with so much patience, warmth, and attentiveness. She was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond during the hot weather to make sure they were safe, cool, comfortable, on schedule, and well exercised. From thoughtful updates to little things she did to help them feel truly at home in her space, she had everything covered. I was recommending her to people while I was still on my trip — that’s how confident I felt leaving my kids in her hands! What really stood out was the sweetness and calm presence Lori has as a human. It made the transition so much smoother for both pups (and for me). I didn’t worry for a second while I was away. I’ll absolutely be using her again for future stays — she will become our go-to sitter, and honestly, our dogs may be even more obsessed with her than we are! Thanks a mil, we are so glad we found you.”
“Yaryna and her family took such great care of my dog, Sky, while I was at a wedding. I could tell Sky had such a good time when I picked him up. Sky’s already looking forward to the next time he can stay there!”
“I cannot rave enough about the incredible care Ariana provided for our baby. She went above and beyond and made us feel confident and supported. Ariana sent tons of videos and pictures and she was easy to reach and so easy to communicate with. We will DEFINITELY utilize her services again because she is a truly wonderful River!!!”
“First time trying Rover and me and my two boys hit a home run! We may have found the best pet sitter money can buy! Great communication before and during booking. The boys absolutely loved their stay with Arden and I would highly recommend her 10 out of 10! I wasn’t worried while I was on my trip because she made me feel that my boys were safe and well loved! Looking to book again!”
“Rebecca ( & her Mom) always make Buddy feel so welcome! He always seems content and glad to see them when we hand him off! When we arrive he seems thrilled to see us with lots of kisses and excitement, but as we pull away he seems hesitant to go to the car and always looks back hoping to get another glimpse of them. Very reassuring on longer stays, last minute stays, or shorter weekend stays! Even as a little chiweenie he is not anxious when we drop him off or when we pick him up!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alexis! She was a joy to communicate with, always accommodating and providing regular updates on Oakley. We were so touched by her kindness and the genuine care she showed Oakley, making sure he was completely comfortable. Alexis is an exceptional pet sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“It’s always a good thing when your pup isn’t sure she wants to leave when you arrive to pick her up! Maddie loves Genna! And we do too! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Caleria was great with my pup! She provided great communication and pictures to keep me updated. She even taught my pup commands and worked on potty training! 10/10 definitely recommend!”
“Carlita continues to be consistent and such a great help with our Lewey when we have to go out of town or have important business to take care of with family. Lewey is always excited when we reach her neighborhood and pull up to the front door. When we come to pick him up, he doesn’t want to leave because he has so much fun with the other dogs in Carlita’s care. Lewey is always in good care at Carlita’s.”
“Jerry was super friendly, and was great with our pups. They were hesitant to leave, which is always a great sign to us that they enjoyed their time! We would definitely trust Jerry with our dogs again.”
“Dawnye was Very sweet and took care of my doggie very well. Gave updates and photos and and put me at ease to drop my dog with her. This was my first time using this type of service and I was able to find a sitter last minute within four days. Highly recommend her and this app!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Raleigh
Vahid was absolutely fantastic! He took amazing care of Dolly and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. He was incredibly communicative, kept us informed throughout her stay, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. It’s clear he truly loves dogs and takes the responsibility seriously. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering booking with Vahid, don’t hesitate! He’s exactly the kind of person you want looking after your pet. We’ll absolutely be using him again!
We have boarded our two pups with Deanna several times now. She is great with them! They always come back happy and well cared for. She is very easy to communicate with and flexible with us as plans sometimes change last minute. Will continue to use and recommend her!!
This was my first time using Evan and Katie, and they were absolutely fabulous with Pax! They were able to take care of him for four nights on pretty short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I received updates throughout each day along with multiple pictures of their activities, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was very clear from the photos that Pax wasn’t just comfortable with them, he was genuinely having a great time. I’m so grateful for how well they took care of him and will absolutely be booking with Evan and Katie again!
Anna was amazing with my senior dog. I know my pup was comfortable because she ate her food consistently, and never eats for a day or two in unfamiliar environments. With Anna I know she was comfortable, safe, and had lots of fun. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!
Kayleen was amazing! She kept me updated on how my pup was doing and sent photos that made me feel so happy my puppy had someone caring and attentive to stay with. This was the first time we have used the boarding service and Kayleen was amazing! Highly recommended!
Yanke was wonderful and took such very good care of our dog. We will definitely use her again if we can. She was very loving and caring. Our dog was very happy and content when we picked him up, which is a sign of a good stay. Yanke was very consistent and considerate in communicating with us during out dog's stay, giving us daily updates and pictures. We felt good knowing that he was in good hands.

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 West Raleigh home-away-from-home, 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 West Raleigh.
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.
You and your West Raleigh 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 , 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 .
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.
