“My dog had the vacation of a lifetime with Debbie. He became friends with her borzoi, Robin. She took good care of my dog and sent pics along the way. I was nervous leaving him because he is an older dog, but there was no need to worry. I would highly recommend her.”
“Michelle was very responsive and sent many pictures throughout Turkey’s stay. There seems to be lots of friends to play with and Turkey came home tired and happy!”
“Kharen was wonderful taking care of my pup while I was away and treated her like her own! Also very easy to communicate with, highly recommend and will be booking again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have a sweet 12 year old who also loves dogs and enjoys playing with them. I work from home most of the time some short windows of time out of the home. I have fostered puppies and dogs in the past. I work from home most of the week alongside my almost 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, leash walks around the neighborhood, and trips to our local dog park. While I’m usually home, I do step out occasionally for work meetings (up to 3–4 hours at a time). My setup is very dog-friendly! I have a fully fenced-in yard lined with extra mesh security for smaller pups, plus baby gates downstairs to keep everyone safe and nearby while I work.
“Birdie had such a great stay with Soraya and will definitely be back the next time I need doggy care! Her home and back yard are well taken care of and secure! She treated Birdie like her own and provided regular pupdates!”
“Sharon is an absolutely amazingly good person and cares deeply about the pets in her care. Sharon updated us on Cedric throughout the day with videos and photos of him interacting with her and another pet. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her, we knew he was getting exceptional care with Sharon. It’s a great feeling to know you can go away and your pup will be in good hands at “Camp Sharon’s”! Thank you Sharon, we appreciate you.”
“Kristin was great with our two doggos! They had a great time at her place interacting with other animals. She sent plenty of photos and updates while we were away at our wedding! Will definitely book again when we’re back in the area!”
“We highly recommend Calvin as a dog sitter. Our dog Stella loves going there. Calvin is great with sending pictures and updates. She has stayed 2 times with him and each has been a great experience. Last time she was there she didn’t want to leave! She stayed by the front door and wouldn’t budge as we coaxed her into the car. It is easy leaving town knowing she is well cared for.”
“Our dog Stevie tends to be an anxious baby, but Ryan has a great home filled with distractions and fun so she doesn’t get too anxious! It’s a relief knowing she can stay somewhere she is comfortable while we are gone. Thanks Ryan!”
About: I am a farm girl from way back, and have been around animals of all kinds since I was a child. As my children were growing up we always had cats and a dog in the house. I have a big fenced yard that allows animals to get plenty of outside time. I would be honored to take care of your fur babies while you are away. I have a flexible job so I can fit my walks with dogs or feedings when needed . On weekends I will build my schedule around the care that I am providing .

If I come to your house , I will take care of animals as instructed , and observe to make sure all is well in the home .
“Keily went above and beyond or expectations! We received daily check ins with pictures and videos. The environment she provided was excellent for our high energy dog with several walks and activities to meet the demand or dog needed. It felt like our pup was on her own vacation and apart of her family. We are so happy to have found Keily and will be utilizing her services in the future. 10/10 recommended.”
“While visiting Asheville, we needed someone to take care of Happy meanwhile we had dinner at a not pet-friendly restaurant -- and we were very pleased with all the love (and message update) Terri gave our furry daughter. We dropped off and pick up Happy at Terri's farm, and get to know two of her beautiful dogs.”
“Kingston had a great time playing with Smoky and got great exercise. Jamie and Nathan have an awesome back yard and welcoming home for doggies. Highly recommend.”
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Julie! She is extremely responsible, always reliable, and loves my dog like one of her own. This is the first time we did an in-home stay for our large, goofy lab. The peace of mind we have knowing he is so well taken care of is invaluable. I highly recommend Julie.”
About: As a devoted dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets. My own dog, Jack, is a big, lovable shepherd mix, so I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and dogs with big personalities! I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, attention, and plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and enjoy life. I understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines, whether that means regular walks, mealtimes, playtime, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while their people are away. I’m mature, responsible, attentive to detail, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same kindness, respect, and affection I give my own, and I’ll happily keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate pet care throughout the week. As a dog mom myself, daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection are already part of my routine! I enjoy spending time outdoors and would love to make caring for your pets part of my day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m attentive to individual personalities, routines, and special instructions, and I believe in creating a calm, loving environment. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your established routines, and make sure your furry family members receive plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands!
“My Basil Boi stayed with Christina for 3 days of boarding. She was very understanding and welcoming. Basil is skittish and timid however enjoys other dogs hence I selected Christina because she has her own personal dog. Christina has a fabulous backyard for the dogs to run and play. Christina was very attentive, sent plenty of pictures, texts and updates. Basil had a great time. I will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you Jen for taking such great care of my pup! I could tell Pippa was instantly drawn to you during the meet and greet (which doesn’t happen with just anyone.) Through daily updates and photos, Pippa looked relaxed, happy, and most of all LOVED. I would definitely recommend Jen to anyone!”
“Sarah is the BEST sitter I have come across thus far. She kept me informed on how my Rock was doing from his morning walks to his evening routine and good nights. I HIGHLY recommend Sarah and I will be using her again in the future.”
“Madelyne was welcoming and great with communication. I especially appreciated her updates the weekend. She has a great yard for the pups to play. Would definitely use her services again!”
“I could not recommend Brody more!!! He was amazing with my pup and sent lots of pics and videos to make me feel comfortable. I love how he has big fenced in yards for the pups. My Luda man had so much fun making me doggy friends over at Brody’s!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Yale
Michelle was so wonderful with Maisy while we were away. Our dog is very nervous and skittish in new surroundings, but we saw how quickly she settled in with Michelle upon receiving the very first picture. I was able to enjoy my trip due to the continued pictures I received of Maisy each day. Michelle and her family have a very welcoming touch with animals, which was evident in some of the videos she sent that captured her interacting with our dog. Michelle, her husband, and her son have a true love for animals and made my dog feel well taken care of. I can't say enough about how genuine they are in making sure the animals they take in feel right at home.

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.
94% of sitters in Yale 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 Yale 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 Yale.
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 Yale. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Yale 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.
