“Agus is extremely kind and even allowed my puppy to stay an extra night when I had an emergency. He is super flexible, easy to work with, and a very nice person! Rue always comes home so happy and tired from all the playing with Harry Potter!! Thank you so much Agus— your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!”
“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!”
“Evil and Fritz were terrific! They were very understanding of our dog’s behavior and needs. They sent photos and messages regularly. Ziggy looked so well cared for and content with them. I’m so glad we found such good caregivers.”
“In all my years of moving around and needing to trust a new Rover city in each town, Ashley and her family were hands down THE BEST, most compassionate and caring I have come across. We are returning upon every chance we can!!!”
“Excellent . My anxious dog calmed down with Alice and went to sleep near her. Alice also sent me the very best pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her help again”
“Jill did a great job communicating with me while I was gone. She provided photos and videos and made Gus feel right at home. I would recommend her to anyone who’s dog likes to be loved and around other pups.”
“My dog loved it here for a long weekend! She’s usually very shy and timid but Vanessa took time to make sure she was comfortable. Roo takes medication every 12 hours and I did not have to worry when I was on my trip. Vanessa took amazing care of my dog and I highly recommend!”
“Cole had an amazing time with Mary & Jonathan during his 2 week stay at their place. We felt so comfortable with them taking the best care of him while we were out of the country. They sent frequent updates, followed his semi-complicated routine, and made him feel at home!”
“Service, communication , pictures and most importantly my fur babies were all excellent with him. I will definitely be using him again. Dogs were picked up smelling wonderfully after a fresh bath and even received little bandannas. We’re all happy campers.”
“It was great to have our Dora stay with Siomara and her family! She understood immediately what our spoiled princess needed and made a great connection. We had great communication throughout!”
“Tracy was absolutely wonderful to work with. This was our first time leaving our pup with her and it was clear from the moment they met it was going to be a great fit. Tracy communicated frequently to let us know how things were going in addition to sending pictures. It was clear that our little dog was getting the same loving treatment and attention she would at home. It’s never fun to leave your pup behind - but leaving them with Tracy makes it almost easy!!”
“I just picked Delilah up last night from an almost 10 day stay with Julie. This is only Delilah's second time ever staying with a stranger, and she came home in a great mood and seems to enjoy her stay with Julie which was a relief to my husband and I. While Delilah is an easy dog, she is a retired service dog and isn't used to staying with other people so the fact that she enjoyed her stay and came home happy meant the world to us. We would for sure use Julie again in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking such good care of Delilah!”
“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”
“This was my first time using this service and I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with Ashlee, she sent me great pictures and her services was 10/10. I will definitely be using her again and referring others.”

“Katrin did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. Her space is perfect for taking care of pups and she clearly loves dogs. She was great about getting her plenty of walks and sent lots of pictures and videos.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a more kind host for Rocky. We got daily updates and a ton of pictures and videos which was so comforting for our kids. Rocky thoroughly enjoyed his stay and was very well taken care off. We will definitely use Camila and Lino again in the future.”

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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carrboro on Rover is $43.29 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 1,848 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.
96% 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.
