“Skip had a great time at Amanda’s! This was his first time away from us and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. He has a pretty specific diet because of allergies and had zero problems. He also loved playing with her dogs in the yard! We would definitely leave him with Amanda and her family again.”
“Selected Lorraine based upon her outstanding reviews. She did not disappoint. While I was getting my college freshmen settled, her fur baby, Sophie had to be left behind. Lorraine provided updates throughout the trip. Great sitter.”
“Sharon is always great to work with and keeps us updated with photos and videos. Lola enjoys her time with Sharon, Rodeo, and their other furry guests so much and comes home ready for a nice long nap!”
“Stacey was wonderful with our dog! She watched her for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. Stacey kept us updated at least once a day and sent lots of pictures of them enjoying different activities together. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. We really appreciated the communication and care she provided, and we would definitely use Stacey again!”
“Our girls had a great time with Halle and Thomas (and Molly!) We got plenty of photos and updates on our trip, and both my husband and I agree we will gladly use them again in the future.”
“Suzanne was awesome. I would highly recommend her watching over your pets. She kept in contact with me throughout the day and sent me pictures of my puppy. I could tell that my puppy really enjoyed his time with her. She deserves 10 stars 🌟”
“Great experience! Andrew accepted my last minute request and took excellent care of Kali. Communication was smooth, and my Kali was well taken care of. I would definitely book again.”
“Brandi and John did a wonderful job and kept me updated throughout the whole stay. My pup had a great time and I was also able to relax knowing she was in great hands. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth took the best care of our dog, Millie! We got frequent updates through her stay and could tell that she was getting a lot of love, attention and having the best time while we were gone. We felt very comfortable with Millie under Elizabeth’s watch! 1000/10 rating!”
“Kourtney and her family went above and beyond in caring for our two pups while we were on vacation out of the country. Our young male cavapoos were cared for nine days and returned looking wonderful and very content. Communication was excellent while we were away as we received pictures and updates daily. Both dogs bonded with Kourtney and her family, slept well, ate well and got plenty of exercise. They chose favorite spots in the house and near Kourtney just as they do in our own home. Additionally, we were late with drop off and Kourtney worked with us. She was extremely cordial, professional and put our young pups at ease quickly…and us, too! I highly recommended Kourtney. You will have no worries with your pets! We will definitely use her again.”
““Auntie” Kim was a wonderful babysitter for my two cocker spaniel boys. We were gone for 10 days and received near daily updates and pictures of all the spoiling, fun and shenanigans had. Kim also handled a mild ear infection for one of my boys like a pro. You can tell Kim cares for dogs because she simply loves them. My boys already miss her. We will be back. Can’t recommend highly enough. 10 stars ⭐️”
“We love when Katie watches our doggie. We know she is well taken care of, comfortable, and gets lots of attention! Even when we have had to change our pets diet, or start new medications- Katie never misses a beat. We love getting picture updates when we are away. Thank you!!”
“Sylvia went up and beyond taking care of our little Lucky. Lucky was with Sylvia and her husband for four weeks and they both provided exceptional care with daily updates (pictures and videos). They are amazing! I would highly recommend them to anyone. I honestly was worried that Lucky wouldn’t want to go back home, but she did. :)”
“Shekenia is amazing. My babies love her and they were well taken care of. The consistent updates and pictures were awesome. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies as if they were your own.”
“Mauricio and Dayra were great with Wyatt. He was tired from playing with their puppy all weekend and seemed to have a great time. Mauricio was responsive to any text I sent and kept me updated on my dogs stay. Their house and backyard allowed Wyatt to get his playtime and be cozy when he wanted to lay down. Highly recommend.”
“I have a problem pup that I didn’t initially know was going to be a problem. Paige did a wonderful job working with my skittish female shepherd, keep her safe and loved until I got back home! She even checked up on my chickens for me while I was gone! 10/10 would recommend.”
“It has taken me a long time to find a pet sitter. I am extremely picky and I am so thankful we found Mandi. She is absolutely Amazing! Mandi took such great care of our babies. We will always use Mandi for pet sitting. My dogs came home so tired and so happy. We cannot thank her enough. I highly recommend her services. She is professional and caring.”

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 Willow Oaks 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 Willow Oaks.
<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 Willow Oaks 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.
