“This was Lucy’s second stay, and I’m so happy she has somewhere she feels loved to vacation! We get plenty of communication, and photos and video letting us know that she’s having fun while we’re away.”
“Alexandra and her dog, Penny, were great with our dog, Snickers! Snickers finally met his match as far as attitude and backtalk from a dog 😂 Alexandra sent us pictures throughout his stay and was super communicative. We will definitely be using Alexandra again for boarding and maybe even future doggy daycare!”
“KaLynn was phenomenal with my cairn terrier Bailey. I forgot her food at my house (an hour away), and she went out of her way to go to the store. Incredible. She sent multiple photos daily and went above and beyond.”
“So happy to have found Sarah and her sweet family. Lincoln stays with ease and seems right at home in their environment. The backyard for Lincoln is an extra plus.”
“Sophie had a great time with Alexis and Addy! I got pictures and updates from Alexis daily on how Sophie was doing which was such a relief for me. Sophie seemed very relaxed and at home during her stay and I will definitely book her again! Wag on?”
“Courtney is great! I hired Courtney for daycare in her home. She was terrific to work with - responsive & able to troubleshoot a booking SNAFU on the App. My dog loved her & settled in immediately her dog and cat. Courtney sent a ton of photos & videos throughout the day. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Laura is very attentive to our dogs. They were not apprehensive after the meet and greet, to go back to stay a while. They were in good spirits and very happy. Thanks Laura!”
“We had our small pup, Tinkerbell stay with Vicky for 4 days & nights. She was so good with Tinkerbell, we were so impressed how much time & attention was given to our sweet Tink. She went on 3-4 walks daily, had children to enjoy, many videos & photos & they had toys to play with. Tink had a great vacation too. We loved Vicky & would highly recommend her for dog walking & boarding! Thank you Vicky, Tink can’t wait to come again for a visit with you & we appreciate your excellent care with her. Debbie & Tom”

“These two are incredible. They treat Nova like their own dog - taking her on local adventures to a farmers market or shop (with being respctful of boundaries - asking our permission prior). Our pup, Nova, always comes back to us happy and tired. We keep coming back :)”
“Jordan was super sweet and easy to book with! She was very responsive and accommodating, she took great care of my Lottie girl and I will 100% be using her in the future! Thank you, Jordan!”
“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.”
“Paul is an excellent sitter, and my pup got so much attention and care staying with him! He has a wealth of experience with dogs, and is very attentive to their needs and behaviors. He is incredibly responsive and flexible, and I was happy knowing that my dog had a yard to play in, a dog companion to be with, and humans who were around to give her lots of love. His home is comfortable and catered to the needs of dogs, with plenty of cozy dog beds and places for them to look out of windows. He sent lots of photo and video updates, too. The next time I need a dog sitter, I will be booking with him. Thank you, Paul and Remi!”
“Jenn was amazing! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. My dog loved her right away and she sent picture updates along the way. 10/10 would have her watch my dog again :)”
“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!”
“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”
“Melody and her husband did an excellent job looking after my two rowdy pups. She watched them over a holiday weekend (Easter) and l couldn't have asked for better care. She was very sweet and friendly, her husband was the same. She was very informative and sent lots of pictures of the dogs. I would definitely use her services again and l highly recommend her for those looking for excellent care.”
“Ryan gave excellent care to my senior dog and rambunctious young one while I was away for a week! She kept in touch and sent pictures frequently. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“Wow! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Alyssa and Bryan and the care they gave Theo on his recent (and 1st overnight) visit. The property is a dream, and they are both dog people who know how handle introductions and new environments. Our dog is typically skittish and protective over us and he had the time of his LIFE with them. They are now our go-to in hopes they don’t book out so far in advance haha. So thankful to have found a wonderful family and new friends.”
“Fernanda was wonderful! She made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She was very flexible and caring for Maggie and I would not hesitate to rebook her if I need pet sitting services again! Great experience.”

rayana was amazing with our pups. She took great care of them and love them while we were away. She kept us updated and sent pictures of them often, it faces us peace of mind to know they had someone who genuinely cares. I will be coming back to her again for sure.
We hired Zann to watch our dogs and were extremely happy with her service. Her communication was excellent — timely, clear updates and photos — and she took wonderful, attentive care of our pups. She was very flexible with scheduling and handled everything professionally and kindly. Highly recommend and would definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Arden is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $56 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 382 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Arden 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 Arden 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 Arden.
<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 Arden 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.
