“Cannot say enough how grateful my family is to have found Larissa! She gives such great care to our Cooper boy. Provides amazing communication, daily updates, has been flexible when I had to change something. Highly recommend!”
“Leaving our sweet boy behind has never been as comforting and low stress as it was with having Jason watch him for us. Knowing Colt was having a great time and in a loving home while we were out of town means the world to us! We came back to a safe and happy boy. We are so grateful!!”
“Alex did a phenomenal job from drop off to pick up, he was super flexible and thorough. Our dog stayed with Alex over the weekend and we gave him a detailed list of our preferences. He went above and beyond by sending update photos of our dog multiple times during the day as well as sent us texts to keep us up to date. Just phenomenal! Thank you Alex.”
“We were so lucky Marcia was available for our last minute emergency trip to VA. Our pup had never been dropped off at a sitter or been to a kennel. Marcia helped her feel calm and loved while we were away. She sent plenty of pictures to help ease our minds and gave her lots of love.”
“Amanda was great she took great care of Bashir! I loved the daily updates and she was easy to speak to. Amanda is a genuinely warm and caring person this was evident in how well she took care of my fur baby! She is definitely my go to now when Bash cannot travel with me”
“Abigail and her family have been amazing with my 2 girls! She is super communicative and made sure she knew everything about the girls before the start date. The girls always come home happy and tired, and Abigail always sends pictures of all the fun they have. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing is all I can say!!! This was the first time Marcus stayed away from us and from the pics and videos we had nothing to worry about!! Faith was so so sweet and welcoming!! Even her mom came out to welcome him and they had home made treats!! Yes, home made!!!! 🍪 If you need puppy care, look no further, Faith is wonderful!! Thank you so so much for loving our fur baby! 🩵🐶”
“Karen was phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout our dog’s stay and was incredibly attentive and caring. She treated our dog like her own, taking her on walks, car rides, and fun adventures around the community. We loved receiving regular updates, messages, and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing she was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Aanchal and we could not be happier with the service provided. A went out of her way to make sure our dog was eating properly and did a great job of communicating with us. Already plan on leaving our dog there again!”
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
“It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.”
“Glory took great care of our three corgis. She sent us updates and they always looked happy and well taken care of. She was also very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We would definitely leave them in her care again!”
“Samantha did a great job taking care of Mia for a whole week. She was even able to feed Mia her farmers dog food three times a day. She took Mia for walks and kept her separate from much larger dogs. Mia loved her visit. She also showed us pictures of Mia throughout the day. We felt so much better during our vacation knowing Mia was in good hands.”
“We are very happy with Rebecca’s care for Buckeye! It was great to get photos and videos of him enjoying his time with her family (and behaving himself!!). We have already recommended Rebecca to family and friends, and we will certainly contact her again when we need a dog sitter!”
“I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time in a new place. Brittany and Matt were great with Ghost, he can be a handful with his anxiety and they were patient and understanding. They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”
“Caitlin was amazing and took great care of my boy while I was away for the weekend. She sent pics & videos which were very much appreciated❤️ I will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :))”
“I just want to say thank you so much for taking care of my sweet boy. This was my first time ever doing something like this, (my baby is 10yrs old) leaving him with a stranger was very hard with to do. But Klairi after meeting you, I will book again! Thank you for making him feel like he was on vacation for the week. ESPECIALLY during the holidays was a true blessing! All the photos and great communication was a huge part in easing my mind throughout the time he was there. A message to everyone looking for a sitter I really recommend Klairi for your future booking. Thank you again!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cape Carteret on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 205 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cape Carteret. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Cape Carteret sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cape Carteret landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cape Carteret 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 Cape Carteret.
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 Cape Carteret 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.
