“Cathy is the absolute best Rover we have ever used! She sent us frequent updates with pictures, went above and beyond to provide the best care, was extremely flexible with drop-off/pick-up & treated Olivia like she was her own! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Angel and Yara are beyond wonderful. My dog is so happy with them and he loves the whole family there. Their daughter is the sweetest little girl and my dog loves her too. I missed my dog but never worried about him while we were gone. Thank you sooo much.”
“Crystal was great with my senior pup! We enjoyed her sending pictures and updates of our furry daughter. Crystal is caring and patience with my pup and able to take her for walk several times a day.”
“Rachel and her partner were great with our dog! We got multiple updates daily and they were flexible and kind when our travel ended up being longer than expected. Our dog was clearly well taken care of and seemed so happy. We would definitely recommend them and use them again!”
“Sarah was amazing with my dog Barron, she made sure he was comfortable and having fun the whole time. I appreciated the many updates (pictures and videos) she shared during his stay, too! I hope to get in her books again in the future. Thanks!”
“Ollie loved his week stay with Caroline. He got to play a lot with her two lovely pups, and we got daily updates/photos. Caroline treated Ollie like a member of the family, so we will definitely be asking her to watch our fur baby in the future :)”
“Paris did a wonderful job watching my Senior dachshund for a week. It was my pet’s first time staying with someone who she didn’t know. I was really nervous about leaving her but my pet did great. Paris sent pictures and messages every day about what had happened during that day. My pet seemed to settle in well and had a great stay. I definitely will contact Paris again if I need to board my little Doxie again.”
“Luis took great care of my dog for an extended weekend. He sent me updates and pictures daily which I really appreciated not having to ask for. I will definitely be using Luis for sitting again in the future!”
“In all my years of moving around and needing to trust a new Rover city in each town, Ashley and her family were hands down THE BEST, most compassionate and caring I have come across. We are returning upon every chance we can!!!”
“He was incredibly friendly and patient, and you can really tell how much he genuinely loves and cares for dogs. He took great care of Bluesy and made me feel comfortable leaving her with him. I really appreciated his kindness and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Can’t recall the amount of times I’ve needed Yaryna to watch Sky for Kate and I, but her family always takes great care of Sky. That’s why we always book with Yaryna! Thanks for taking care of Sky!”
“Caroline was wonderful. She’s calm and seems very easy going. Our dogs are quite hyper but she dealt with them very gently. We appreciate her helping us, even when our one dog had last minute surgery so she had to administer meds. Definitely would recommend!”
“Ravon and her husband were the nicest people! They took great care of out 3 cats, Great communicator! Sent pictures and updates to let us know how the cats were doing, highly recommend.”
“Adrian was great. It is clear that he loves animals and wants his clients (both the pet and the family) to have a great experience. He was very proactive and clear in his communication, while also being kind and understanding.”
“Jazz was fantastic and took excellent care of Stella! Great communication and lots of photos and updates. Would highly recommend and definitely plan on booking again for our next trip 😊”
“Xiuli was an absolute lifesaver! She came through for me in a pinch and did an amazing job caring for my cats. From the very beginning, she was dependable, responsive, and incredibly kind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treated my cats with the same care and attention she would give her own. She kept me updated, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Coming back to well-cared-for cats meant the world to me. I highly recommend Xiuli to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable cat sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! 🐾❤️”
“Linda is absolutely fantastic! Her property is a dog's haven. She is so knowledgeable in all things dog! She has fencing around the entire property. Each dog in her care gets a tracking collar to eliminate any worry, especially when it comes to those escape artists ;). She has an air conditioned garage with crates for the pups, refrigerator for their food and a chart with each dog's name, parents contact info, when they were last fed, if they're on any medications and when they were last administered, emergency contact info, tracking collar number- just in case anything happens anyone can walk in and not have to wonder about the dogs in her care. We could not have left our pup in better hands! Our Gracie had a wonderful time! We received updates and beautiful pictures all throughout her stay. We will definitely be using Linda from now on for all our boarding!”

Yesel was a dream boarder for Lulu! I can tell Lulu had a great time and was very well loved and cared for when I was away - the absolute best situation you can hope for. Yesel sent tons of pics and was super communicative. We will definitely be boarding with them again in the future if our schedules align!
Rachel and her partner were great with our dog! We got multiple updates daily and they were flexible and kind when our travel ended up being longer than expected. Our dog was clearly well taken care of and seemed so happy. We would definitely recommend them and use them again!
Cathy was so patient with my anxious senior boy. She went at his pace and you could physically see in her photos how much more relaxed he was the longer he was with her. She took thorough notes and I trust her wholeheartedly with him. I will 100% be using her services again!
Amber was a GREAT sitter for my high energy Aussie. She made sure she was exercised properly at the right times of the day (because of the September heat wave) and Charlie became my dog’s new bestie. My dog didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up! You’ll be in good, safe hands with Amber! 10/10 will be using her again in the future.
Melanie took very good care of our Boys, Mack and Archie. Plenty of love, attention and walks! Great feed back each day. Quite a comfort when we were away! Melanie has two dogs who are very friendly and she only takes two guest dogs, so this worked very well for us…all got along famously! Will book with Melanie again!
Nikya was amazing with Chloe! From the beginning, she was very communicative, attentive, and easy to work with. She kept me updated throughout Chloe’s stay, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated that she followed Chloe’s routine and was mindful of her needs and personality. Chloe seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I picked her up, which is always the most important thing for me. I would definitely trust Nikya with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Sara was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, Mara and Daisy. She took such great care of them, made sure all of their medications were given correctly, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her dog Tucker got along so well with both of my girls, and it was clear they had a great time playing together. I could tell Mara and Daisy were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her home. I truly appreciated Sara’s kindness, communication, and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Blands is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $64 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 1,911 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Blands. 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.
95% of sitters in Blands 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 Blands 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 Blands.
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 Blands. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Blands 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.
