“Alison was absolutely fantastic with my little pup, Tyson. Her own dogs made great playmates for my little guy and she was flexible and communicative when my family hoped to pick my dog up a day early. I can't recommend her enough!”
“We love Kim! She gives our crazy beagle boy, Rudy, lots of love and attention. Always willing to work with us on bookings and is very quick to respond. Thank you, Kim!”
“Our dog looked like he had a lot of fun! Yelena was very responsive and sent a lot of pictures and videos throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely book a stay here for our dog in the future!”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“Sindhu was amazing with Boo. When we arrived for the meet and greet, Boo walked up on her porch, looked around and laid down- he was that comfortable in a few short minutes of being with her. Also, Sindhu sent me numerous pictures and updates on how he was doing. Boo loved being with her children and her Mom was super nice too! I could not be happier with the care he received and have already booked with her again! Thank you, Sindhu, for caring so well for Boo!”
“Megan and her family took such amazing care of Scout. She went on so many little adventures and came home healthy, happy, and clearly loved. Megan sent daily updates with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even threw Scout a birthday party while I was away, complete with a cake and a homemade crown her daughter made since I couldn’t be there to celebrate. I felt so relieved knowing Scout was in such good hands, and I will absolutely be booking with Megan again.”
“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“This was the longest we ever been without Carter. We received frequent updates and photos so we knew he was well taken care of. Would highly recommend Monique to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.”
“Allison was an awesome dog sitter for our little Popcorn! She kept us updated throughout the day and also included pictures of her daily activities. I would definitely use Allison again”
“Claudia and Bryan are amazing. This was the first time I had to leave my pup overnight and they sent so many videos and photos to make sure that I could still have the happiness of my pup while I was away. He seemed to absolutely love it there. I greatly appreciate them and would highly recommend!”
“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
“My puppy absolutely loved Jazmine. She was very good and consistent at updating, sending pictures, and following any needed instructions. She gives lots of attention to the dogs she is dog sitting. Highly recommend!”
“She was amazing. Including her young son. My wife and I had a very important trip. Couldn’t find anyone and last minute we were lucky enough to find Julie. She treated my cat, Levi, like family. Her cat and mine became fast friends. Even her son seemed to play with Levi often all the way up to me picking him up. I could tell once I got to her home my cat was comfortable and apart of the family. I actually felt bad taking him back home lol. Anyway I will definitely be using her services again and you’d be blessed if you did the same. Thanks again Julie!”
About: My husband and I have been caring for and loving dogs for as long as we can remember. We both grew up with dogs and understand just how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us for dog sitting, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Since we both have the flexibility to work from home, we’re able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day, so your dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. We’re truly dog lovers at heart and adore pups of all shapes and sizes! However, due to allergies in our home, we’re only able to offer boarding for non-shedding or hypoallergenic breeds. This allows us to provide a comfortable environment for everyone while still giving your pup all the love, attention, and care they deserve. We both work from home full time, which means we’re always available for your pup! We’ve owned and cared for our own dog for years, so we’re already adjusted to the daily routines including playtime, walks, and just lounging if that what your pup prefers. We’re flexible and can accommodate overnight and multiple night stays. Your dog will always have us around. Since we both work from home, your dog will have plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. We enjoy taking daily walks to give the dogs plenty of exercise and fresh air, and our large backyard provides lots of additional space to run, play, and explore. With someone home throughout the day and plenty of opportunities for activity and playtime, we strive to make every dog feel comfortable, happy, and right at home with us
About: I love animals, having grown up with three dogs, each with a distinct personality. Caring for them and spending time playing with them has always been something I’ve really enjoyed. While I don’t have any pets of my own, I love having the opportunity to care for and spend time with other people’s dogs. I have over 2 years of dog-sitting experience, primarily caring for friends' dogs and occasionally family dogs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, needs, and routine, and I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I would be so excited to care for your dog and give them plenty of love and attention! I'm available for boarding mainly on weekends: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have a flexible schedule on these days, so I can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout their stay. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I have a comfortable, spacious two-story house in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a small fenced-in dog play area. I provide a clean, comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. Plus, I make sure they can get plenty of loving attention, care, and exercise throughout their stay.
“Rachel provided a great service for us including sending pics to make sure we wouldn't have to worry at all. She is friendly and thoroughly dedicated to ensuring a great experience.”

Dan and his family were wonderful to work with. On top of being conveniently located, they made the scheduling, drop off, and pick up process very easy and smooth. They sent me pictures throughout this day as well as updates. Willow seems to be very happy after staying with them as well.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
96% of sitters in Westport 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 Westport 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 Westport.
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 Westport. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Westport 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.
