“Honey had a great time with Deborah. She was well taken care of and Deborah sent pictures every day. If you need a caregiver for your pet, you can trust Deborah.”
“Our dog loved his stay with Michelle and her family. She gave updates with photos and videos during our trip and made sure we were in the loop with how he was doing. He had lots of playtime and outdoor time, got along great with her dogs, and was comfy and cared for :)”
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.
“Toni was absolutely amazing. Bailey loved her and we received consistent updates, pictures and videos. Toni's communication is out of this world. I would ask Toni to watch our family member anytime. You can book with complete confidence.”
“Jordan and her little 3-year-old daughter were super sweet!! They took great care of our little Shih Poo girl, not to mention she had just started her cycle. I was afraid that Jordan might cancel, but she didn't. My daughter and I brought her with her crate, diapers, food, and toys, and that was that. We were able to enjoy our travels to see family over the weekend without worry over our baby pooch. We're keeping Jordan's profile up top!”
“Ryan is absolutely amazing. She is knowledgeable and takes care of your pets like they are her own. My dogs loved their time with her, and it was so nice to be able to relax while away knowing the pups were in such good hands!!”
“Kristin was great with our dog, Biscuit. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate with for drop off and pickup! We received pictures during our stay and picked up a happy puppy. I would recommend Kristin to anyone!”
“Mary is the best sitter we’ve found in Asheville. She is quick to communicate, sends plenty of thoughtful pictures and has a large space for the dogs to play outside. She gave my dogs ample walks and they got along well with her two sweet dogs. 11/10”
“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
“Megan and Erika took excellent care of my dogs and I highly recommend them as sitters. Their home is perfectly set up for dogs and the place is cute, clean, and well maintained. Communication was excellent throughout the stay and my dogs were happy. I will use them again.”
About: I’ve have taken care of animals for about 15 years. Mainly dogs and cats. We currently have a chocolate lab named Bandit that would love someone to play with. We have a pool with a dock for easy ins and outs. We have a .5 acre fenced in back yard. I stay at home with our chocolate lab named Bandit. We would love to have your dog come and spend time with us! I do have typical errands to run but usually I am home. We would love them like they are part of the family! We would follow your instructions and keep an eye on them but also having fun and lots of cuddles.
“We had a last minute trip and were nervous about finding care for our very senior dog. During our meet and greet with Katie and Preston, our nerves washed away. Through our time away they sent us pictures and sweet updates about Simba, which were so reassuring. We felt he was well cared for, and we’d definitely recommend them. Thank you so much Katie and Preston!”
“Rick loves dogs and takes good care of them. This was the first time my dog had stayed with someone she didn't know but he knew what to do and gave her lots of love. Poppy looks forward to staying with him again.”
About: I have taken care of pets as long as I can remeber. People ask me to help them with their pets all the time. Your pets are part of your family. I will treat them as the treasures they are. I am available every day from 7:30 am to 7 pm. With those hours it gives me a lot of time to keep your fur baby entertained and fed. I know that for my own clan of animals that I prefer to board them at home. I like to offer the same service to my clients. Kenneling at home keeps your pet comfortable in surroundings they are used to. I can swing by to feed them, walk them, and just keep them company at least twice a day.
“Michaela is wonderful!! She sent photos and updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was always comfortable and safe. She’s one of the best sitters I’ve used on Rover.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sharon was amazing! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating and Willie had a great time going on hikes and playing with her pup. She went the extra mile and we couldn't recommend her any more.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Balfour is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balfour
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Balfour is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $67 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 November 2026, there are 607 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Balfour. 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 Balfour 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 Balfour 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 Balfour.
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.
You and your Balfour 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.
