“Bronson loved his stay with Katelyn and her family. I could tell when I picked him up that he had been happy and loved on. Katelyn was extremely kind and easy to work with. We will be back.”
“This was our first time to have Donna watch our dog. We definitely will use her again. Our dog, Pawley, had his own summer vacation while we were gone. We received daily updates with videos and photos. You can tell that Donna and her husband love dogs!”
“Abigail was wonderful and we are happy we found someone who took care of our boy!!! I know he was loved on and treated like their own! If you are in need of someone to look after your babies we highly recommend her!”
“I could not have been happier with Katherine. She sent me pictures every day of Lola and I know she gave her all the attention my pup needs. Highly recommend her if you are in need of a sitter for you dog.”
“Can't say enough great things about Atina. She took excellent care of my 16 year old "puppy." She almost instantly made her feel at home (and sent plenty of pics so I could relax as well!) and had her happily bouncing around with the pack by the first morning. Great set up and carer!”
“Lara was great!! Moxie seemed to warm right up to her and her family. She kept me updated with pics and video. I will definitely be contacting her in the future for any doggy sleepover needs!!! Thanks again Lara!!!!”
“We are so happy that our 18 month old golden retriever, Darla had her 1st stay away from home with Jennifer and Matthew. Jenn sent updates and pictures of Darla playing and having fun with her fur babies. Jenn was very prompt in getting back to us with any questions we had. She and her family were extremely welcoming and gave us a comforting sense that Darla was well cared for in a clean, organized and loving home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jenn and Matt and look forward to working with them soon!”
“Danielle did so great with our fur baby, made her feel right at home. She got to play with danielle’s fur babies and socialize and have fun. She was so happy when we picked her up. If I could recommend anyone it would be her.”
“Laura took great care of our high energy pup! He got along well with her pet and got in some great walks too. Great communication as well. We hope to use them again in the future. 5 stars!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Hazel’s 8-day stay! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in caring, capable hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she received plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and was treated like part of the family rather than just another dog. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire stay, and every interaction was professional, friendly, and reassuring. Knowing we can leave Hazel with someone we completely trust is invaluable. We would recommend John without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. Hazel is already looking forward to her next visit, and we’ll absolutely be booking again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl!”
“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Trina is the ABSOLUTE BEST dog sitter we could have ever found! She took such good and loving care of our Maltipoo, Sadie. She constantly sent us updates and pictures Sadie. With Trina having a fenced in backyard, Sadie was able to run around and play with Trina’s other pets. It was obvious Sadie was so happy and at peace being watched by Trina. We will most definitely use her services again!!”
“Joe and Celeste are such nice people and my Gunnar felt right at home. They have a large beautiful fenced in yard for running, playing and exercise. They treated Gunnar like one of the family. I didn't stress or worry leaving my furbaby with them since they are truly dog lovers. Celeste texted me daily with pics and videos of Gunnar. He was quite happy. We will definitely bring our dog again soon!”
“This was my first time using Rover services, naturally I was anxious. After meeting with Joan I was immediately relieved. My Sadie was made to feel right at home and fell in love with Joan’s dog Parker. Joan was very accommodating to my schedule and very kind. I recommend her very highly”
“Awesome couple that I trust watching our fur baby. So nice and received multiple pictures and updates which I enjoyed so much. I was able to enjoy our family trip and never once worried about Luca. Highly recommend.”
“Melissa is amazing and took wonderful care of my dogs! One of my dogs has a heart condition and takes medication. Melissa was so attentive and made her very comfortable. She is flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up times which was very helpful to me. My dogs were so happy at Melissa's house. She loved and cared for them like her own. I will definitely be booking with Melissa again!”

Atina is nothing short of amazing! She took care of my two dogs, one of which is a senior chiweenie with heart and skin conditions. My dogs were so loved and cared for and I was completely at ease. She was also very accommodating with my schedule for drop off and pick up. I will absolutely book with Atina again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carolina Shores on Rover is $40.13 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 235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carolina Shores. 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.
94% of Carolina Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores.
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 Shores 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.
