“I could tell how much Aspen (Mini Aussie, 4) really enjoyed his 2 night stay with Robert. Aspen was immediately comfortable around Robert and his very well behaved King Charles dogs. The yard was fantastic as it allowed for him to play 10/10”
“Michele was amazing! She sent regular updates and pics, allowed our dog to snuggle on the couch, has a great yard for the dog to run, and took her on regular walks. I will definitely be using Michele again!”
“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!”
“Patty was very friendly! She is an active person that actually plays and walks your pet! My dog seemed very happy and relaxed during her stay in the pictures that Patty would send periodically through out the stay. When we picked our pup up she was happy and didn't seem to have any issues , unlike when we picked her up in the past from the kennel. Will definitely use patty in the future!”
“Haley is so wonderful and took great care of Charlie! Appreciate her flexibility with logistics and the sweet updates she sent of Charlie loving life with her new little friend 💛”
“We were so happy with Benjamin’s stay at Desi’s place! She treated him so well and sent us pictures throughout his stay, which was comforting. Desi walked, jogged and even ferminated our German shepherd. We will be back again if we need future care.”
“Andrea was quick to accommodate our last minute booking and did a wonderful job keeping us updated during our dog - Lupine’s stay with her. Lupine came home happy, relaxed and tired after her sleepover. She can be shy around excited people but Andrea and her home seemed like a calm respite. I would definitely recommend Andrea and will use her again when we’re in the area.”
“Clare was awesome! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with lots of photos. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks and was really attentive to her needs and food preferences. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia and Andrew were great! Olivia sent photos of Cora every day while we were away. She had a nice visit with them. We’ve definitely booking with them again!”
“Hannah was great with our big dog! Hannah was very communicative and adaptable when our travel plans got messed up. Would highly recommend her and hopefully get to leave Tucker with her again!”
“Carey was an amazing sitter! She was responsive, open, and very attentive to my “Velcro-dog” that requires attention all the time. She updated me with pictures during my time away, and her whole family was very kind and loving to him. I absolutely will be booking with her in the future!”

My goal is to be that person for you! I'm currently working part-time from home so I have flexibility to do walking or day care during the week and can facilitate boarding on some weekends! Please reach out for availability!! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I can come to you or you can drop your fur baby off to me! I have a fully fenced yard (high fence) and also have two different sized crates depending on your fur baby's needs!

“Traveling from out of state for our granddaughter’s wedding, we did not know anyone to watch our 1 year old Maltipoo. Matt and Louise were wonderful to work with, very accommodating with coordinating times for wedding festivities and took great care of our family pet. Thank you for easing our anxiety leaving our little guy at your home.”
About: I grew up working on a farm and have always had dogs in my life. I have a sweet goldendoodle of my own.

“Laura is as exceptional with our dogs. Extremely responsive, sent lots of pictures and I could tell that our dogs were calm and comfortable with her. She made sure to have a meet and greet first and made sure all dogs were comfortable and a good fit. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone needing some peace of mind for their pets while they go out of town. Not only that, she helped one of our fast eaters find a better bowl. Completely above and beyond!!! Thank you laura.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover whose always had dogs and cats throughout my childhood and adulthood. I also have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for 70+ dogs each day. That experience taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs while making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. At home, we have a good sized fully fenced-in yard where your dog can run, play, and get plenty of outdoor time. I also love staying active myself, so going for walks with the dogs is one of my favorite parts of pet care. Whether your pet needs some extra playtime, a good long walk, or simply some love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I recently moved to North Carolina from Massachusetts with my fur babies and husband for my husband’s career and to continue his college career at UNCW. Currently, I am not working and pet care is my only focus. I give all my animals/the animals that I care for lots of love and attention. Additionally, I give them lots of play time and exercise.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Carolina Beach is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carolina Beach
We loved having Hunter watch our pup! We could tell she gave him lots of attention and got to know his quirks. We appreciated all of the updates and pictures she provided and her home was spacious and clean. We felt comfortable leaving him in good hands and would absolutely recommend her!
We recently left our 9 month old pup with Lauren for 9 days. It was the first time our pup has been away from us and our first time using Rover. She had a blast with Lauren and her dog Lucy and our experience working with Lauren through Rover was great. Lauren was very responsive and happy to answer all my questions. She provided us with daily updates and pictures. Drop off and pick up went smoothly & we didn’t have any issues at all. I would definitely book again with Lauren!
Desi was so awesome watching our Solei! My family had accidentally booked a place in Carolina Beach that was not dog friendly- Desi was so flexible and let us pick up and drop off Solei throughout her pet sitting time so we could still spend time with her hiking the state park and hanging out on the beach. Desi very obviously cares so much for her clients’ pets and goes the extra mile to make them feel comfortable in her house- Solei had a great time at her home away from home! I’d recommend Desi to pet sit anytime!!!
Brayden is a fantastic sitter! My dog, Tango, just finished another 5-day, 4-night stay and came home happily tired from all the playtime. Brayden kept me updated with photos, and it was clear Tango was comfortable and well cared for. He came home acting just like himself—relaxed and content. I’m a very satisfied repeat customer and highly recommend Brayden to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carolina Beach is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $60 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 October 2026, there are 357 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 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 Beach 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 Beach home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
