“This is our first time being away from our dogs and we were anxious to leave them in someone else's care, but we're so glad that we found Heather! She treated them as if they were her own and we could tell that the dogs had a wonderful time with her and her husband. We got to fully enjoy our trip because we knew that the dogs were taken care of and that they were also having fun. We'll definitely seek her out again in the future for our next trip. Highly recommend to other dog parents! 11/10 :D”
“Alice was great! She is very kind and you can tell she absolutely loves animals. My kitty came home super calm and I could tell he had a good time! I will definitely request Alice again!”
“I had to board my Zita very last second (not even minute) for a full day sitting (9.00-19.00) and Agus was extremely nice and flexible to accommodate my needs. He took really good care of Zita and she loved playing with Harry Potter (he is such a sweet boy!). I would definitely recommend him and board Zita again!”
“Vanessa and her family made our dogs feel right at home. When we returned, they were clearly happy and relaxed after their stay. Nothing could please us more than to know our puppies were safe and relaxed while we were away.”
“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”
“Emily and William did a wonderful job caring for Bill while we were away! They sent lots of updates, kept him active, and made sure he felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Emily and her partner were great! They were super communicative and flexible with pick up/drop off times. They sent me lots of updates which I really appreciated. My dog had a great time with them!”
“Megan is awesome. My dogs feel so comfy with her that they play with each other at her place. That rarely happens outside of our home. She sent wonderful pictures and worked with us when we had a blip in our schedule. We highly recommend her and look forward to boarding our dogs with her again. Thanks, Megan for giving us such peace of mind when leaving Arty and Cork with you.”
“Denise took wonderful care of my 15-year-old pup, Tonalli! She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear Tonalli felt completely relaxed, comfortable, and safe in her care.”
“Anthony took great care of Norm. Anthony sent us pictures while we were away - it is always great to see your pet being happy while you are away. Norm seemed to love his time there. We definitely will book again!”
“This was my dog’s first time staying over with someone he didn’t really know, but Sharon really helped ME feel comfortable about the environment where I would be leaving him. It’s obvious this is a house that loves dogs and prioritizes their well being. He enjoyed his time at her house and I felt good about leaving him there.”
“Jennifer was a great dog sitter for us. Our pup, Carly, got very sick shortly after we dropped her off (and left the country!). Jennifer did all she could to make sure Carly got the care she needed—including an emergency trip to the vet the day after Christmas and cleaning up lots of messes that Carly made. We were/are so grateful!”
“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“Krystene and her family are awesome! My dog Wilbur has stayed with them twice now and we had a great experience both times. Wilbur can have a lot of separation anxiety, so it was amazing to see how comfortable he was with Krystene even after staying with her only once. Would definitely recommend Krystene!”
“Our dog Elias loved spending time with Nathan! Nathan reached out with Daily updates along with pictures and if there was a concerns! Will definitely be booking with from now on!”
About: My neighbors trust me to take care of their furry friends when needed. I’ve since moved away for college and hope to meet more pet parents through Rover! I’m currently studying for the MCAT part-time, so my schedule is flexible and I am free to take care of your pet any day of the week! I can easily stay overnight and or simply go for a walk. I live in a pet-friendly townhome with my sister who also loves animals. We have a spacious living room that can accommodate a crate and an unfenced yard.
“Ashleigh and Jason were amazing! My sweet Izzy was taken into their home like a member of their own family. It was her first stay with them and they made me feel at ease providing updates and sending pictures regularly. When I picked her up I could tell immediately that she was happy and so well loved and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Ashleigh and Jason, Izzy will be back with them in July for our next vacation!”

Agus was a life saver. Not only was he very caring with my dog, but a family member had an emergency while we were out of town and Agus graciously picked up her dog, took care of her for several days, and returned her to her owner, all on a moment's notice. So grateful!!!

Gregg has been our favorite pet sitter during our time in NC. He is very professional, and his house has a beautiful and big fenced yard in a quiet area. We reliably received happy and fun pictures of Molly while we were away and that gave us peace of mind. I can’t recommend Gregg enough!
Emily and Lamar were amazing! They took great care of our little guy and he has an absolute blast. They kept us informed and updated the entire stay with pictures and messages. We really appreciate them and can’t wait to book with them in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Molly and Henry and their dog Hank were wonderful hosts for our dog Lucy. They welcomed her into their home, took her for walks, and gave her lots of love. Lucy had plenty of human and canine company over the week. Molly was super responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos. We wouldn't hesitate to book them again next time we travel. Thank you!!
We were away for 10 days, and Africa took great care of our senior dog Dexter. She was very attentive to his needs and kept to his schedule, ensuring he felt comfortable and at ease the entire time. Throughout our trip, Africa kept us updated with photos and messages, which really put our minds at rest. She’s quick to respond and was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We’re so grateful for her care, and we’d absolutely trust her with Dexter again in the future!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Carrboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carrboro on Rover is $43.29 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 1,863 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carrboro. 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 Carrboro 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 Carrboro 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 Carrboro 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 Carrboro.
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 Carrboro 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.
