“I cannot say enough positive things about Jane! She took exceptional care of Kylie, kept in touch with us throughout Kylie's stay by sending pictures and videos AND she even celebrated Kylie's birthday with special treats in our absence. Jane, you are a Godsend! We hope you allow Kylie to stay with you again!”
“Meribel was wonderful. We started with a meet and greet, which made a huge difference for my very nervous and stressed dog, Jazmine. Jazmine also got to meet Meribel’s basset hound, Molly, who was such a calming and gentle influence. Meribel was flexible with my schedule and took the time to learn everything she could about Jazmine, who has special needs due to epilepsy from prior abuse. Making sure Jazmine feels safe and comfortable is incredibly important to me, and both Meribel and Molly did an amazing job. We booked a short overnight stay as a test run, and it went beautifully. I’ve already booked a full week with Meribel, and I feel completely at ease knowing how well Jazmine was cared for and how relaxed she was in Meribel’s home. Highly recommend.”
“Benji was treated like part of the family and absolutely loved his time with your family. Thank you so much for taking great care of him, sending updates and allowing us to enjoy our time away. We will definitely be back!”
“Ellie was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about dogs. A good home and yard for dogs. I feel very comfortable about taking Molly there for our next trip. I hope they are available the next time we need card for our elderly dog.”
“Gina did a great job taking care of my dog, Moon! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated while I was away. Moon was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”
“I had a very last-minute, not-ideal situation — Billy hadn't met the sitter, it was short notice, and honestly it was a tricky ask. She accommodated everything we could possibly ask for and tried her absolute best in a situation that wasn't perfect. She made the most of it and did everything she possibly could. Billy ended up falling in love with her kids and had a really wonderful time. I was so lucky to have found Jess for our emergency last minute boarding needs. She and her family went out of their way to make Billy feel special and loved and included. He didn't want to leave! If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond and make your baby feel at home, book her. She's the best.”
“Brianna was wonderful from start to finish…from our meet up for a meet and greet to when we picked up Ranger today! Brianna sent us updates with pictures and videos and was very responsive during Rangers entire stay! She even kept him longer for us when we had an unfortunate mishap at the end of our vacation. Thank you so much Brianna for caring for our boy - we will definitely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!!”
“Starla and her sons took great care of King. She kept us up to date with pictures and messages. He looked absolutely thrilled to be enjoying their company and big back yard. We will certainly request Starla in the future.”
“I was very happy with the care and attention Tokyo received. The caregiver was very attentive, kind, and responsible. She kept me updated and patiently answered all of my questions, which gave me great peace of mind. You can tell she truly cares about animals and puts a lot of dedication into what she does. I would definitely trust her with Tokyo again. Thank you so much for everything! 🐾❤️”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Rebecca took amazing care of Boomer!! Great communication and she sent pictures and videos throughout of walks and play time. She has a large fenced in backyard that is perfect. She went the extra mile of helping him eat when he was initially a little nervous. We will definitely book with Rebecca again and really appreciate the great care!!”
“This was the first time we left our dog with Stephanie and Matthew and it was for a 5-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were away, we were naturally a bit nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, the environment was incredibly warm, welcoming, clean and spacious, giving our dog plenty of room to feel right at home. It was clear from the daily updates that Ollie was receiving top-notch care and exercise every single day. We loved getting the pictures and comments daily—it truly brightened our trip and showed us just how well cared for and happy our dog was. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating Ollie like family!”
“Katie took excellent care of Zeke while I was away. She is very attentive to the pets' needs that are in her care. Very accommodating and super friendly. Will definitely consider for future sitting needs.”
“Hannah was so awesome and went above and beyond to make our golden doodle happy. We have a tall 60 lb dog and he got to run and play and rest- just what he needed. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“I’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“Candice took such great care of my little Biscuit. Was initially hesitant since his previous Rover caregiver left the area but thanks to little Charlie, Biscuit found his new best friend and twin look alike which made his stay all the best. Thanks Candice!!!!!”
“We used Ashley three times for our Golden Retriever. There is a reason why we keep coming back to her -- she is a great sitter! We appreciate that our Golden is assimilated into her family and that her needs are well met. It is a great experience working with Ashley.”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cinthia and Fernando. They took great care of our puppy, Zizou, and kept us updated with tons of pictures and videos. It made a huge difference seeing how happy and comfortable he was. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willowbend
Lutisa was great with Ridley. He was at first hesitant to approach her but she was very patient with him. She allowed him to adjust to her scent and she helped him adjust to her environment. She sent pictures and video each day while we were gone. It was great to see him interact with other dogs. She was also flexible to adjust my booking last minute because I made a scheduling error. Definitely will use her again and would refer her to a friend.
Angela and her family took fantastic care of my two dogs for the 3-1/2 weeks I was out of the country. This was my first time at Angela's and I would def recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. Big yard, lots of love and snuggles. My dogs have NOT done well at a traditional boarding facility in the past. But with Angela, they thrived.
As always, Winston loves spending time with Angeline and her pets. I genuinely think he’s sad to leave! He feels very comfortable going over now and just heads right on in to see his friends and play. It’s great knowing your pet is well taken care of and having his own “vacation” while you are on yours!

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 Willowbend 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 Willowbend.
<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 Willowbend 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.
