“Beast can't wait to visit Ms. Judy and Autumn he is always excited and running to the door. Ms. Judy is so sweet and nurturing I feel comfortable at work knowing she is caring for him. I was very apprehensive with placing him in day care this is his first experience, she puts my mind at ease with all the photos and communication throughout the day.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. From puppies to senior dogs. Ive turned aggressive dogs calm. Understanding your dog and its triggers are key. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. Lots of love and playful stimulation. I’m not just watching your dog, I’m creating a bond. Creating a safe space for your pup to be able to relax and have fun. Building trust with you is step 1. I am available anytime for your fur babies needs. I can handle up to 2 dogs at a time. Plenty of play time and potty breaks. I have an open yard. Not big but big enough to play. I use e collars to help direct playtime and to have control over them as needed. Dogs roam freely in the house when I am home. They go in crate if I am not. Multiple post breaks and plenty of playtime and healthy stimulation
About: I don’t have any special skills but I treat every pet with care, patience, and attention. I’m reliable, I communicate, and I always follow instructions. I am full time student during the week so I don’t have a work schedule to get in the way of pet care. Not having a job means that my weekends are open and flexible. This means that I can give your pet my full attention during their stay with me. When I care for pets in my home I make sure that they are comfortable and I treat them as if they are my own. I follow their normal routine and special instructions given.
About: I sometimes feel like a dog/cat whisper. I have a very calm nature and I think dogs/cats can really pick up on this. I have had animals of my own but could no longer afford the monetary funds it takes to care for dogs and cats. I am a retired active senior citizen and I have a lot of spare time I would love to devote to dog/cat boarding or walking. When I do care for dogs/cats in my home, I try to make sure they feel I care for them and snuggle and hold them, if I am allowed by the animal. I always wait to see if they have sniffed me and that lets me know they are or are not accepting of me.
About: I have been a pet parent for 11 years and I’m looking to find some small, furry playmates for my sweet golden retriever to hang out with during the day. I’m a service connected Veteran and I’m home most of the time. I would be home with your dog the whole time of course. I’m very attentive and cautious and being a dog mom myself I understand how scary it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I am a bit of a helicopter parent with my boy and will be with your baby as well. If I’m available, I’m happy to help. If not I will let you know. I only take drop ins the day of or a day in advance due to my health. I have a large living space with multiple rooms. I am able to keep the dogs in my main living space easily so they can be observed the whole time they are with me. They must be good on the leash for potty breaks because my yard isn’t fenced but I’m very cautious when walking my boy and can take your dog out separately so they have my full attention.
“Kayla is the best! Helped out with short notice and watched my two crazy Weims while I had some AC work done at the house. Peace of mind is a great thing and she definitely helped with that. Highly recommend her to all.”
“We were visiting from out of town and needed some place for our active 1 yo pup to spend some time. Hannah was wonderful - she has a great set up for active dogs - I wish I could find someone where we live like her!!!”
About: I have years of experience taking care of other peoples’ dogs as well as my own, who is almost ten! I have a big fenced in yard with lots of shade that would be great for your pup! I work early mornings into the early afternoons (usually around 1-2). So after my work day, I’m home mostly relaxing or working in the yard and engage in lots of hobbies around the house. I will be around to tend to any needs your dog may have :) I live with my partner and our dog, Mulder, who is 9 years old. We have a fenced in yard with lots of shade that our dog loves and would love to share with your dog , too! We can also host indoors so the pups can cool off and relax.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter with over five years of experience. My experience includes working with puppies, kittens, and senior fur babies. I am a retired nurse and have experience giving dogs their medicine. Moreover, I have experience with dealing with seizures, congestive heart failure and joint pain in fur babies which helps ensure safe care. Providing a safe, calm and loving environment is a priority while caring for your furbaby. Pet sitting is my full time job. I have time to provide one on one personal care for your fur baby. Would love the opportunity to do a meet and greet to review further availability. I have a fenced in yard for zoomies, fetch and reliving themselves. Our community has sidewalks for safe walking exercise too. I have two small dogs ( one senior & one puppy) and two senior cats to keep your Furbaby company. I have a crate if needed or gates if a need arises to ensure safety. However, your Furbaby will have free roam of the house if no safety concerns.
About: Having cared for my own pets, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll take the time to learn their personality and follow their usual routine, from meals and walks to playtime and quiet company. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I’ll give them attentive care and plenty of affection. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I work from home running my own business, and I plan pet care around my work commitments. Before each booking, we’ll agree on a schedule that fits your pet’s routine, including meals, walks, bathroom breaks, and time for attention and play. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before we begin. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep dogs leashed on walks, and check that doors and gates are secure. When visiting your home, I’ll respect your space and leave things as I found them. You’ll receive photos and updates, and I’ll contact you promptly with any concerns.
“Becca is our dogs' best friend! We hadn't seen her in 3 months (pandemic) and as soon as we got out of the car at her house, our dogs ran right up the stairs to go into her house! I could tell they were excited to see her and she was equally excited to see them. I trust her 100% with my pups.”

I also try to go above and beyond. I enjoy making the family happy along with the animals
“Gretchen was absolutely amazing with our dog, Molly. This was our first time using Rover, and naturally we were a little nervous leaving her with someone new, especially because Molly can be anxious and has a few special considerations. Gretchen immediately put us at ease. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making Molly feel safe and comfortable in her home. We received updates and could tell Molly was being genuinely cared for, not just watched. Gretchen was also very patient with Molly’s quirks and made the entire experience stress-free for us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive.”

Judy was a life saver for me! We had just moved to the area so we don’t know a lot of people to watch our dog. We woke up yesterday morning to news that our nephew was born! So that meant a four hour one way to SC and I was in a panic! Judy was able to respond quickly and was ok with a late pickup! We would not have been able to see our family if it wasn’t for her! Thank you so much!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Zebulon commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
