“Rebecca and Justin were absolutely amazing with my Lola. They treated our pup like family and we will most definitely leave her if we ever go on vacation again as we felt safe with them. Our Lola got along with her pups very well and her home was a perfect fit for her. I can’t recommend them enough; they are a warm loving family who will treat your pup like they were their own. Thank you again!!!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Harper with Christina and Matt when we were away for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. It was the first time Harper had ever stayed with anyone other than family and we weren’t sure how she would be in an unfamiliar place with another dog. It was obvious when we went for a meet and greet that Christina is a dog lover and Harper warmed up to her quickly. They have a great dog friendly yard and we received plenty of updates to let us know that she was doing fine. She definitely got plenty of exercise and a lot of love. Christina was understanding about Harper’s separation anxiety and was willing to accommodate her. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“I took Mia for a trial day with Dana, Mathieu and their two sweet dogs. I wanted to be sure it would be a good fit for all involved! They took great care to introduce everyone slowly to be sure all the dogs were comfortable. All seems to have gone very well, by the time I came to pick her up, Mia was feeling quite at home. She put herself to bed early. A sign of a good day! I will definitely sign her up for a longer stay!”
“Karen and Chris were fantastic! They are such a nice family that took excellent care of our pup. They were great with communication and pictures. I knew our dog was safe and loved! Highly recommend!!!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! Her and her family made our dog feel so warm and welcome despite being a nervous Nelly around new people. She sent us regular updates and photos, so we always had peace of mind!”
“Steven was great, taking on a last minute reservation for my dog when my friend who was going to stay with her fell and hurt herself. It was reassuring to me that Brooke was with a nice and caring family while I was away. I will definitely contact Steven again!”
“Ashley was great! She was quick to respond to our request for her services. Our dog Tessa stayed with her for 4 nights and seemed very content there. We received many updates with pictures throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. I would definitely use her services again!”
“Leanne was so good with my 3-legged frenchie for 2 weeks! I felt so comfortable during our vacation because she sent loads of updates and photos. They also helped our daughter because she missed her “brother” so much. Because Leanne sometimes looks after other dogs during the day, my little doggo had a friend to play with for a lot of the vacation which made us feel a whole heck of a lot better knowing he was living his best life too.”
“Karen kept me informed and communicated promptly. My dog absolutely loved his stay and would recommend Karen for anyone looking for someone to watch your beloved pets.”
“Kimberly was beyond awesome! We needed a pet sitter for the day of our wedding and she was so communicative and flexible with us! Our dog had an absolute blast and she was great with sending pictures. Thank you so much!”
“Anne took great care of our dog, Ralph, while we were away. We got daily photo and text updates that gave us total peace of mind. Ralph came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Another perfect stay with Debby! We now lovingly refer to a visit with Debby as a visit to Mookie's second home. As always, Debby sent lots of photos, videos, and snippets about the day to make sure we knew that Mookie was at his best. Debby is a gift to both the pet and the pet-parent, and we feel so fortunate to have made this connection.”
“Caley had a rough start to the week. She's getting older, and requires more attention. Celina kept us in the loop, but we thought we might have to come home. We and Celina came up with a plan that allowed us to stay on vacation, and Celina handled Caley like a pro! We appreciate that so much! Sorry for the sleepless nights.”
“Thank you so much Christine and especially Grace! Russ felt so loved at your house. It was wonderful to be able to go away and know he was in such good hands. Looking forward to his next visit!”
“Tara has become our go-to pup sitter and we couldn’t be happier! It’s so nice having someone so warm, trusting and communicative care for your fur child. Our pup always loves spending time with Tara. Thank you, Tara!”
“Kelly was very responsive and accommodating to us when we needed to book a last minute stay for our pup Holly! Holly was taken care of very well and had a great time! We will definitely use again in the future!”
“Best pet sitter on Rover!! Ok so she’s the only sitter I’ve used but trust me she’s the only sitter you need! Right from the start Anely was great! She was very accommodating of every request and special need that was required for my dog and I immediately felt like I was leaving her with family. Communication was prompt and she kept me updated throughout the day with texts and pictures about how Ruby was doing. When I picked her up after the weekend she was calm and happy and I could tell she was in good hands and enjoyed herself. I will without a doubt book with Anely in the future and you should too. Your pet will thank you!!”
“We highly recommend using Stacey. Bandit stayed with her over the holiday weekend. He had a blast. We were very comfortable with her fenced in back yard. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. We look forward to using Stacy again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 610 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carolina. 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 Carolina 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 Carolina 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 Carolina.
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 Carolina. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 Carolina 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 RI 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.
