“My special teddy bear is so in love with Miss Kim that he doesn't even bother to look back at me he will jump right out of my truck and run up to her and into her house...... And she always sends pictures and updates we need 1,000 more just like her across the country”
“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!”
“Olivia was so good and so patient with Finn. He has A LOT of energy and is still a puppy but she made me feel comfortable and I knew he would be safe and looked after. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Angela did a great job of taking care of our dog! She kept us well informed of his activities and dogshe was playing with. She sent lot so pictures. I think our dog really enjoyed her backyard -- he doesn't have one at home.”
“Allie took amazing care of my beloved cat while I was moving - it was a huge relief knowing she was in good hands. She sent routine updates and went out of her way to make sure Paprika was comfortable and well-loved!”
“Helena and her husband were wonderful to work with - kind and extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times. They live in a very nice community with lots of places for shady walks. Buddy had his own loveseat by the front door which he could lay on and look outside or at Helena and her husband in the kitchen or sitting room of their open plan home. I received regular updates and photos of Buddy in what really was a home away from home. From the initial meeting when I went to drop Buddy off, I knew he was in great hands. I would definitely have Buddy stay with Helena again and recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive loving couple to take care of you ‘fur baby’!!”

“Polly loves her time with Tasha and her wonderful family. She likes playing in the big, fenced-in, back yard and playing with other pups and humans during her stay.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carolina Beach
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!
Hunter is a pro. Sandy is a loving cuddling dog, but she needs to trust you. It takes a minute. Hunter communicated with me the whole week and Sandy trusted her after a couple days. Lots of walks and pics and easy to get a hold of for messages and talks. Thank you Hunter.
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!!!

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.
