“Agus and his buddy, Harry Potter, are our go-to boarding hosts. They are both laid back, friendly and accommodating. My pup is always excited to be dropped off at Agus's place and runs inside without a backward glance. He is very pooped and happy when I collect him at the end of his stay with them. Agus is very comfortable handling my pup, and I trust Agus to care well for him. We always look forward to our next visit with Agus and Harry.”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“Cathy took fantastic care of my dog. I was given consistent updates, lots of adorable photos, and she communicated so promptly. I could tell that she treated my dog like he was her own and that helped me to not worry at all during his stay. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy person to watch their dog!”
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of Wiley! She was incredibly flexible with my last-minute request and handled everything seamlessly. She was so sweet to Wiley and did a fantastic job keeping up with his high energy through lots of walks and playtime with his favorite toys. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely love to book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Sharon boards in her home and has a great play area for the dogs. She is very caring for all of her boarders. We will definitely use Sharon to board our dog in the future.”
“Naotake and his wife were heaven sent! From the initial meet up to the updates given twice daily, they hit every mark. Our curly was with them for about 5 days. The walked curly every day and let her explore. They stuck to the feeding schedule perfectly and gave curly a lot of love. Then even accommodated me when I needed them to care for her for an extra day. I just mover to NC so it is a blessing to have found them so fast. I will be using them every time I need a sitter for Curly, if they are available.”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals since I was a kid. That being said, I’m comfortable around dogs, cats, exotic pets, birds, reptiles- you name it, I’m a huge animal lover! When I moved away for college I brought my childhood dog with me who I had since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she faced some health issues as she got older, but I was lucky enough to be able to care for her until she was 17! Because of my time spent with her, I am comfortable and experienced with dogs from the puppy age to seniors, have administered pills and topical medication numerous times, have no problem with bathing and grooming, etc. I also fostered a dog and started up my rover after my dog passed and since then I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many more fur babies. No pet is a challenge for me! I work full time during the week, but am looking to fill my free time with a serotonin boost from your pup! I love dogs and as a dog owner, I know that it’s sometimes hard to fit 3 walks a day into a crazy packed schedule, or spontaneously take a day trip somewhere, so I’d like to help! I am typically available for evening walks during the week but and completely flexible on weekends! It is my goal to ensure you that I will be respectful of your home and privacy, as well as your dogs normal schedule. I am reliable and trust worthy, and can adapt to any dogs personality, whether they are shy, reactive, hyper, or sleepy! I’ve walked dogs as small as 5 pounds to as big as 90, so no dog will be a challenge! I’m very attentive while on walks to make sure your dog does not hurt themself/ eat something they shouldn’t/ mess with another dog. I can be flexible with any precautions I’d need to take with your dog whether that be medication, assistance with mobility or anything else! Your dogs comfort is my first priority!
“"Karla is heaven-sent! Leaving my dog with her gave me total peace of mind the entire time I was away. She sent daily updates, cute photos, and videos that made my day. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Hope recently hosted our beloved Annie, our senior in need of medicines and Love. What a success! Annie had her needs met above and beyond - loving attention, friends to play with, and wildlife like squirrels and bunnies to watch! We think of her as a fussy eater - no prob for Hope! We were away and received multi-pictures and texts to put us at ease. Wonderful! 11 of 10 would recommend. Thanks, Hope!”
“Kristin took wonderful care of our dog for a week while we were away. Our dog was safe, well cared for, and perhaps most importantly, loved as if we were with her. Kristin treated our dog as one of her own. Thank you Kristin!”
“Our puppy had great 3 days with Anitra. She was very communicative and pro active with us. Puppy enjoyed being around with her two cute dogs . Definitely looking forward for our next visit 😃”
About: Hi! I’m Rosa, a lifelong animal lover, with years of hands-on experience, caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I go beyond the basics – offering not just love and companionship, but structure, training, and personalized attention to every pet in my care. I specialize in working with puppies and young dogs, providing gentle, consistent training, that reinforces good behavior from the start. Whether it’s crate training, potty training, or basic obedience (sit, stay, leash, manners, etc), I work with your pup at their pace, always using positive reinforcement methods. But my experience doesn’t stop with puppies! I’ve cared for senior dogs, high energy breeze, shy rescue, and everything in between. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort needs – and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, stimulated and loved while you’re away. 🐾 I’m working part-time and have plenty of free time to focus on your pups! I am available weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM and also offer overnight and weekend boarding. This flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they truly deserve. Whether, caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on comfort, consistency, and individualized attention. 🏡 In my home: I create a calm, pet friendly space where your dog feels like part of the family. I stick to the usual routine – feeding, party breaks, playtime, and naps – to minimize stress. If your pup is in training, I’ll reinforce good behaviors with positive methods. I also ensure lots of cuddle time, exercise, and regular photo update so you stay connected! 🏠 In your home: I respect your space and follow all your pets, usual routine routines closely – meals, walk, meds, bedtime, and play. I aim to keep everything as familiar as possible to help your pet feel safe and secure in your absence. I’m attentive, tidy, and always leave your home as I found it. Whether it’s on boarding, drop, ins, or overnights, I tailor my care to fit your pets needs and personality. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority!
About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs my entire life. I grew up in a farm with working dogs (herding, guard, and livestock). Outside of the working dogs, we had a house full of rescues. I’ve had dogs of every size & I truly believe there’s no such thing as a “bad dog”. I currently have two rescues (a pittie mix & a beagle)— both dogs are extremely well trained. Outside of the training, our fur babies deserve the most we can give them. My dogs are fed a special diet & we maintain enrichment daily. If you are trusting me with your fur baby, know that I will treat them like they’re my own. I’m currently working as a local hairstylist with very part time hours and my availability is flexible. Because I am a stylist, if I do not have a client booked I am more flexible on my work days. Please message me if you have concerns. I'm usually in the salon: Monday 10am-2pm Thursday 10am-2pm Friday 10am-4pm Every other Saturday 10am-4pm My dogs often sleep in the bed with me, or in their own kennels. I live in two bedroom apartment and have the ability to separate my own dogs from your dog or cat for the entire stay. Both dogs are extremely social. If you're not boarding with me, I will still need to care for my own doggos before attending to yours. I have had pet sitters in the past who neglected my own pets for their own and I would NEVER do that to another pet parent. Communication is key. I'm always open to any questions or concerns you may have.
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! We had never before left Watson for this long and were anxious about it. But Lauren sent pictures and comments frequently and it was clear he was soon having a great time with her and Dito! We can't thank Lauren enough for her great care and thoughtfulness!”

Heather put our mind at ease immediately. She took wonderful and loving care of our senior, special needs pup. She sent several photos and updates and when we picked our boy up, it was obvious that he was comfortable and happy. Will definitely book again.
Camille did a great job with our dog. Our dog had frequent walks and playtime. Fortunately for our dog, Camille's niece was also in town and she loved to play fetch and generally play with our dog as well. Camille was very attentive, took plenty of videos and pictures to send to me, communicated well, and was also flexible. Will ask her to help again when needed.
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carrboro is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $57 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 of October 2026, there are 1,832 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 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 Carrboro 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 Carrboro 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 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 , 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.
