“Vanessa was outstanding! Our boy literally laid down and did not want to leave. We got daily updates/pictures on walks and activity. So much better than a kennel.”
“Best sitter ever!!! So caring. Sent photos of my baby while sitting her made me feel so confident and trusting of her. My dog even showed affection toward her right away and made me feel relieved!! Will def book again❤️🥰😘until next time!!”
“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!!!”
“We recommend Megan. She’s caring, knowledgeable and attentive. Our dog was super happy with her and we loved the regular updates! Her yard is great with lots of running space!”
“Gregg is a true dog lover and a capable dog care taker. He helped me on very short notice and provided a fun day camp experience for my dog. He also sends summaries and pictures each day while you're away!”
“Argus took care of Zoey when we were out on vacation. He did a good job sticking with Zoeys feeding schedule and also provided extra attention to feed her medication”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Emily and Will are so caring and wonderful! They took excellent care of Charlie and walked him around through the garage to go to the backyard since Charlie is not able to navigate stairs as easily as he used to. He was very content and happy when we picked him up.”
“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!”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with my dog Cooper. She texted everyday sent me pictures and kept me updated on how he was settling in. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hello! I've pet sat for multiple years now and would love to help you out! From new born puppies to elderly dogs I've done it all. Dogs, cats, chickens, and even bearded dragons, I gotchu! I'm a student at UNC Chapel Hill and can handle any needs and wants to need from me! Hope to sit for you very soon! I am available in the morning before class that begins around 10am and all the time afterwards around 1:30pm. On weekends I am available all day! I am fully able to complete anything the owner needs from me! Walks, medication, play time, staying over some nights, I'm your girl! I can usually stay for some hours each time I need to drop by and of course spend nights if needed!
“Cheri, Did a great job with Finn with a very last minute booking as the other pet sitter cancelled at the last minute because of medical issues. Finn came home very happy and Cheri kept me updated with pictures and information about Finn. I would use them again. Thanks, Cherie and family”
“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.”
“Denise helped us out last minute due to a family emergency. We have never had anyone else other than family watch our two doodles with separation anxiety. Denise completely put our minds and hearts at ease upon meeting her. She was incredibly kind, compassionate and communicative during their stay. She went out of her way to make sure they felt comfortable, loved and were eating which is something they struggle with when in a new environment. She sent us daily detailed updates and pictures which was amazing. We are so thrilled to have found her as she provided a loving safe space for our dogs while we were away. We will definitely be rebooking in the future for all our future needs!”
“Keon was a great sitter! He took care of my dog very nicely! My dog had so much fun playing with the other dogs as well! I could see that my dog was having so much fun and that he was having a great time! ❤️ I am so satisfied, and I will certainly send my dog to board with him again! 😊”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Claire, in the care of an amazing dog sitter africa , and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and took the time to get to know Claire’s personality, habits, and needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Africa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Ashlee was great she was very informative of how Louie and Bella were doing she sent pictures regularly to assure us they were in good hands we would definitely recommend and use Ashlee again”

Mar and her family were wonderful and made my dog Penny feel right at home! Mar sent lots of pictures and videos, and she & her whole family (including their awesome dog Togo!) were so warm and welcoming. Penny had a blast, was relaxed and comfortable, and had a great time romping with Togo. We will definitely be back!
Patrick did an amazing job watching after our dog Manju. He was super responsive coordinating everything, including drop off and pick up. He also sent lots of pictures which we loved. We felt Manju was well cared for and got lots of attention. Patrick did such a great job, and we've already rebooked him for another trip next month.
This is the second time Megan has cared for my dog during my international trips, and I couldn't be happier. I'm always happy to receive the photos she shared, and it's wonderful to see that my dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable boarding home!
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.
Veronica has been an exceptional dog sitter for our sweet dog Pallino. She sent us daily updates and proved to be attentive to his needs of nice daily walks as well as snuggles... Our dog also had a minor health issue, which Veronica addressed quickly and thoroughly, including her communication with us. During our vacation we felt at ease knowing that Veronica was with our dog throughout the day and he was always well taken care of. We also had a flight cancellation and asked her for a very last minute extension, which she graciously agreed. Thanks Veronica for being such a caring and responsible sitter for our dog!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carrboro on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,854 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.
