“Maria was so welcoming! Great open space for the pups who well looked after and clearly had a great time. When I came to pick them up. She sent regular pictures and updates so I always knew what was going on. Great! Stay for the dogs overall!”
“Jess is phenomenal! Excellent and quick communication for a last minute booking. She took such great care of my senior dog and even sent me pictures during the stay. Bonnie wasn’t sure she wanted to leave 😆😅 Thank you again, Jess!”

“Jamin was able to take my babies on super short notice! Everything was wonderful and we were given updates on them throughout the weekend. She was super friendly and responded quickly to messages. Will definitely use Jamin again in the future!”

“All went great Bella was a happy girl! She is going back in a couple of days for a longer visit. I am not worried in the least with having to leave her, knowing she will be well taken care of!”

“Annie was awesome with our golden retriever Charlie! We did a meet and greet a few weeks prior which I thought was a wonderful idea. During his stay at her house, she was very diligent about sending photos and made us feel at ease that she was taking such great care of him so we could truly enjoy our family vacation. We could tell Charlie made himself right at home at her place and he seemed to get along great with her pups. We ended up asking her if she could keep him longer as we were wanting to extend our vacation. She was very accommodating and added the additional days to the booking right away. She is very responsive which is so appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to others. We would love for Charlie to stay with her again in the future! Thank you Annie!!”

“Casey was great!! She showered my dog with love and kept me informed (pictures and messages) with how he was doing throughout his stay. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their pet.”

“My dog’s other family, haha. He absolutely adores them, and is well taken care of. Stephanie sent photos and perfect messages every day to put me at ease while I was away from him. I couldn't ask for a more perfect setup as a very energetic puppy who needs a lot of attention and play time.”

“Rena P provided exceptional care for my dog. She is incredibly caring, energetic, and professional. We received consistent updates and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find someone you trust implicitly with your pet, but Rena P is definitely that person!"”

“Samantha did incredible with Kevin and made sure to keep me posted on his care! I work a lot of long shifts as a nurse and she did a great job making sure Kevin felt loved and played with during those days!! Kevin came home a happy camper. Definitely recommend her!!”

“Kayla was AMAZING with our pups. They stayed for about 4 days and they came back happy as ever. We have a Dalmatian and a Golden Retriever that are basically puppies so they are very high energy and she was super patient with them and they had a lot of fun playing with her pups. If you are looking for someone to take care of your babies definitely consider Kayla! 💜”

“They took excellent care of my kitten and took heed to the special instructions I had left! I’m grateful I could find this quality of care on such short notice!”

“Just finished our vacation and we were glad that Chantel was available to take care of our puppy (she’s not actually a puppy but she’s small so that’s what we call her). Anyway, Chantel sent several photos and videos during our vacation and it was reassuring to know that our puppy was being well cared for. Hope Chantel is available in June for our next trip.”

“Heather and her son took amazing care of our dogs during our wedding weekend. She asked lots of questions ahead of time, sent us daily photos and check ins, and took the extra time to meet our dogs before their stay. My two normally anxious pups came home as calm as if they had been on a relaxing vacation. Her kindness and professionalism greatly reduced our stress during this crazy time, and I have already been recommending her to anyone who asks. Heather is the best!”

“Marina was absolutely the best! She kept me updated multiple times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially since this was my dogs’ first stay with her and her dog, Misty. They played until they couldn’t play anymore, and it was clear they had the best time 🐾 We’re already looking forward to their next visit—more like their next vacation ;)”

“Marisa Was very flexible when I booked a last-minute dog sitting. She took terrific care of Wrigley and kept me updated how he was doing. I would use Marissa again anytime”

Maria was a great caretaker of our Sweetie. I say this because when Maria sent pictures I could tell how happy and comfortable Sweetie was in all the pictures, especially the first day. I knew that Sweetie was being well taking care of. We will definitely will use Maria again. Thank you Marie.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Barbecue is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $50 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 840 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barbecue. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your 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.
96% of sitters in Barbecue 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 Barbecue 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 Barbecue.
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 Barbecue. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Barbecue 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.
