Kate and her family are the best! It was my second time dropping my dog off with her, and she takes such good care her! Marley is older and I often worry about her, but I feel at ease when she’s at Kate’s. Her kids are great with Marley, too!

Erin was a great sitter! She provided lots of updates and my cattle dog had lots of fun running around with her golden retriever in their huge fenced yard. Would definitely use Erin again in the future!

Took care of Lupe on a 14 day trip. Lupe is a little older and a wheaten terrier. Sometimes with an older dog and a little terrier in her, she could be a little quirky. But Taylor and his family accommodated Lupe very nicely and I am very grateful to have had their service and allowed their home for Lupe to stay as I had to travel for work.

Judging from our dog's demeanor before and after her stay (and the photos), Dottie felt very comfortable staying with Hunter. -- like staying with a known relative. I would highly recommend Hunter to watch anyone's pet. - Michael

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!

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.

Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!

We had a great experience with Lauren caring for our small dog. Very communicative, and our dog was the same at pickup as dropoff and our dog was exhausted which is usually a good sign that she enjoyed her stay.

Desi took great care of Bruno and he came back to us super happy and worn out (in a good way) since he got to play with other dogs the whole weekend. Desi was very good at communicating and sending photos/videos/updates of the dogs! Great sitter

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 Boarding - Carolina Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carolina Beach on Rover is $42.13 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 351 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.
