“I can’t thank Cherie and her family enough for taking such great care of my dogs. They are very anxious and not always easy, but she showed them so much patience, kindness, and love. Knowing they were with someone so sweet gave me such peace of mind. Highly recommended and will definitely be bringing my boys back!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely just love having pets around! Since I work from home, I’m able to give them lots of attention throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long stretches. I’m also pretty active, so I’m always up for walks, playtime, or getting outside, but I’m equally happy hanging at home with a pet who would rather relax and cuddle. I know every pet has their own little personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine! I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and company. I’m active and love getting outside for walks, but I’m also happy to spend time at home playing with toys or relaxing together. I tend to stay local and have a yard for extra outdoor time, so your pet won’t have to spend long stretches alone. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match your pet’s energy level, schedule, and favorite activities so they feel comfortable and at home while they’re with me. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. In my home, pets have plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor time in the yard, and walks based on their normal routine and energy level. Since I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day and keep a close eye on them. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow their pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions, and lots of attention.
“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! 😊”
“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!”

“Serina was WONDERFUL with my senior pup! I was very nervous about leaving Annie somewhere she had never been before, since in the past she's only ever boarded at a familiar facility or stayed with family members. Serina was very flexible with my last-minute request and took great care of Annie. She also sent me very sweet pictures of my girl looking relaxed and happy, which helped settle my nerves. I would definitely send Annie to Serina again!”
“Adrian was so wonderful with our dog Diesel! He completely saved us when our other rover sitter had to cancel last minute and took excellent care of Diesel for a long weekend. We'll definitely be using him again!”
“Jessica is great to work with! She dog sat both our dogs while we were gone over the weekend. We had peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands bc she sends daily photos along with updates on how they’re doing. We’ve used her several times and can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend her services!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Even though my booking was so last minute, Bruna was able to accommodate me and my Koa. Bruna was responsive and kept in touch with me regarding Koa. I really felt at ease knowing my pup was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Bruna to anyone who would want their pet to be well taken care of!”
“Paris did a wonderful job watching my Senior dachshund for a week. It was my pet’s first time staying with someone who she didn’t know. I was really nervous about leaving her but my pet did great. Paris sent pictures and messages every day about what had happened during that day. My pet seemed to settle in well and had a great stay. I definitely will contact Paris again if I need to board my little Doxie again.”
“Hope is an amazing sitter who goes above and beyond to make sure your pup is happy and well cared for. I left my anxious 15 y.o. dog with her this past week and oh my goodness! The extra care and concern and willingness to work with and accommodate Mathilda’s mental and physical needs was amazing. I could not be happier or more grateful - and either can Mathilda! I always knew how my pup was doing, how she was eating, etc, and Hope was an excellent communicator very motivated in resolving issues with anxiety, etc. Hope is a doggy magician - your dog will fall in love!”
“Jade was the perfect dog sitter for my chihuahua. She sent many cute photos and frequent updates. Jade was very flexible and an excellent communicator. I would book her again and would recommend her to friends!”

Needless to say, I would definitely book with her again.”
“Adriana took great care of Chelsea!! She was attentive & provided plenty of photos while I was away. Chelsea loved playing with Adriana & her pup. I would definitely use her services again!”

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 Pet Boarding in Carrboro on Rover is $43.06 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,895 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Carrboro. About 93% of Carrboro sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
