“Lindy eliminated any worriers I had about leaving my Bailey girl in her care. This was a repeat stay for Bailey, and she loved it! Lindy sent pictures everyday with a brief update on how Bailey was doing. Bailey, and I, both love Lindy and would highly recommend here over and over.”
About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“Wrigley spent three evening with Alexander and her family. I must have received 20 or more pictures of Wrigley enjoying the backyard and walks. Wrigley has a wonderful dog smile that was evident in the pics, so I know she was having a great time. I will being scheduling Alexandra in the future.. Jim L.”
“Victor is a great pet sitter! He sent pictures everyday and let us know how our pup was doing. He took the time to understand our dog and their daily habits. He even did periodic walks and gave her a bath. We highly recommend him!”
“The best. Gave my furbabies lots of lovies and snuggles. I got lots of pictures and texts to let me know that they were just fine. After 8 days they came home happy and content. I got to enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. Awesome 🤩 ❤️”
“Annie was awesome with our golden retriever Charlie! We did a meet and greet a few weeks prior which I thought was a wonderful idea. During his stay at her house, she was very diligent about sending photos and made us feel at ease that she was taking such great care of him so we could truly enjoy our family vacation. We could tell Charlie made himself right at home at her place and he seemed to get along great with her pups. We ended up asking her if she could keep him longer as we were wanting to extend our vacation. She was very accommodating and added the additional days to the booking right away. She is very responsive which is so appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to others. We would love for Charlie to stay with her again in the future! Thank you Annie!!”
“I love Jennifer. She took great care of my little spoiled baby. I received pictures and updates on how Kia was doing. I’ll definitely request Jennifer again. Jennifer loved on my little precious baby. Thank you Jennifer”
“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”
“Brooke and her loving family gave my Papillons (Gracie and Yoshi) 24/7 care! Brooke sent photos and updates on their well being, which gave me a peace of mind while on my trip! I highly recommend her if you have upcoming travel plans or just need a wonderful sitter to complete projects around the house.”
“Although this is the first Taylor’s sitting Kiki, I can tell Kiki was happy and comfortable at Taylor’s house and played along with Taylor’s dog, a golden retriever. Taylor’s daily photo and sms update of Kiki’s activities gave my wife and me a peace of mind. We are happy and thankful for Taylor’s care of Kiki. We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”
“Heather is the best! She takes great care of Indy, and is a strong communicator. Indy loves being at her house and has a great time in her fenced in yard. 10000% reccomend”
“Mary is awesome!! You can tell the love that her and her husband have for animals!! I know my pup will always be well cared for, and shown lots of love when staying with her!! Highly recommend!!”
“Kyra is always SO happy when she gets to Alex’s house and has an absolute blast the whole time she is there. Alex is great about sharing videos and pictures with me while I am gone for my own piece of mind. The biggest thing for me is she is always super happy to see him when we arrive for drop off which says so much about how she is treated. I never feel bad driving away because I know she is in such good hands and happy.”
“Kylo had such a great time with Melanie! We received constant pictures and updates and were completely at ease during our time out of town. Melanie really loves pups and it shows! Kylo can be anxious in new environments but she seemed to settle down with Melanie in no time! Would definitely recommend Melanie/book with her again!”
“Rebeka is a confident, attentive and reliable. Easy to meet with, communicate with, and our pup came home happy and well cared for. Would recommend and use again without hesitation.”
“I appreciated Andrea’s rates and communication. The boys appeared to have a great time and got along with their pets. She was also able to accommodate an extension when travel plans changed.”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carthage
William was great. My husband was completely ill prepared to drop of Duke (I am always the one responsible for this but was out of town already). William didn’t miss a beat and happily provided Duke with all the missing amenities that one should bring 🤦♀️ (bowls, crate, etc). Our dog came back very happy and tired. We also really enjoyed the videos that he sent of Duke! William was easy to communicate with and well prepared for our dog, who is a ball of energy.
William watched my big ol’ GSD X for 5 days straight. Kept me updated with pics throughout the time. Gladly accommodated with giving the last few days of my dogs ear meds. His dogs were great in giving my dog company. Overall, William was a great choice! Will most definitely be using him again if the situation arises.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carthage on Rover is $35 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 302 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carthage. 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.
92% of Carthage 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 Carthage 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 Carthage 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 Carthage.
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 Carthage 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.
