I can't recommend Robert and his family highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew Bodie would be in excellent hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and welcomed during my absence. They were attentive to Bodie's needs and even worked on commands. When I returned, Bodie was happy and relaxed. He had a great time playing in the fenced-in garden with other dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy Robert is your guy!

Excellent care given for my little Jack Russell terrier Buddy by Desi while I was in Boone for family reunion. Sent lots of pictures of Buddy and messages to know that he was happy and having a good time at her home. Highly recommend her if you need someone to take care of your precious pet. Will contact her again when I visit Boone or surrounding areas.

This was our first experience using Rover and Kate was the perfect fit for our dog Rio! She kept us posted while we were on vacation with pics and videos of the dogs playing, relaxing and exercising! Rio enjoyed his vacation as much as we did!

Taylor took great care of our 17 year old senior pup. She has an array of age-related needs, and he made sure she was comfortable, eating regularly, and getting outside...and all of those things are challenging for her at this point. I would highly recommend him!

Angela is the absolute best sitter! She lets our Bailey continue to live her best life even when she’s caring for her. She’s constantly taking her on walks, to festivals, and even fall days at the beach. Angela is always so flexible to meet our needs for days/times needed to watch our sweet girl. I just can’t say enough good things!

Amy was awesome! It was my first time leaving Bailey with anyone other than family. I expected to be nervous but I felt very confident and at ease, especially when Amy sent me photos and videos of Bailey hanging out with her and her family. Bailey did great and I will definitely be calling Amy again when I need a sitter!

About: I provide a calm, attentive environment for dogs and cats in my pet-friendly apartment while working from home. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable administering medications and monitoring health needs. I'm comfortable with a variety of sizes and personalities. For active pets, I live close to the beach and enjoy taking dogs on walks to explore and get exercise. I also have a balcony where I can set up a grass patch for dogs that need frequent potty breaks throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I work from home full-time, so my flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a balcony in a secure, pet-friendly community. For dogs who need more frequent bathroom breaks, I can provide access to a grass patch on my balcony in addition to regular outdoor walks. My community offers plenty of convenient potty areas as well as a fenced dog park where dogs can safely play and socialize off-leash. I prioritize safety at all times and closely follow each pet owner's instructions to ensure their pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for during their stay.

I have never left my dog with anyone other than friends before, so I was really nervous. I brought Finn to Helena's to meet before our vacation, and he took to her immediately. She sent me photos of him every day we were gone, and it made me so happy to see how much they were enjoying each other! He had so much fun that he barely got excited to see me when I picked him up! LOL! Is there a better compliment from a dog? Helena is fabulous and we will be using her again!!!!

My dog stayed with Sue-Ling, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such wonderful care of my dog. Kind, patient, and really attentive to her needs. It was clear from the start that Sue-Ling truly loves animals and treats them like her own. There was a small health issue while I was away, but Sue-Ling handled everything calmly and responsibly. She kept me updated right away and made sure my dog was comfortable and safe. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Sue-Ling gave to my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to look after her again anytime. She’s amazing!

Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!

Stephanie and Jared were wonderful with our 12 year old Yorkie Bichon! They sent updates often with pictures of Sunnie on walks and adventures and relaxing at their home. Sunnie looked comfortable and happy! We were away for 5 days across the country for our daughter’s wedding and never had to worry that Sunnie was being well-cared for! Sunnie had a sore paw that we noticed when I dropped her off and Stephanie kept me updated as it improved and soon Sunnie was back to taking long walks with them. I highly recommend Stephanie and Jared! They took excellent care of our “baby”. I will not hesitate to leave her with them again the next time we need care for Sunnie.

Erin did a great job taking care of our senior dog for two weeks. He developed tummy issues & she took him to our vet for additional care. It all worked out & she had to dispense medicine for the duration of his stay. We feel like she went the extra mile in noticing he wasn't well & taking action. It was never life threatening. However, with a senior dog (16.5 yrs) it is always wise to seek additional care & she did just that! Erin offers compassionate care in a dog friendly environment indoors/outdoors. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Carolina Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carolina Beach on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carolina Beach. 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.

95% of Carolina Beach 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 Carolina Beach 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 Carolina Beach 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 Beach.

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 Carolina Beach 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.
