“Alyssa was great! Got some updates with videos and pictures. She administered medicine no problem. Jack was calm when I arrived to pick him up. They have a great place where your dog can relax while being well taken care of.”
“Ms Melanie was awesome. I could tell the second she saw Oliver that he was in good hands. Oliver had a great time and did not freak when I left because he felt at home too. Thanks Melanie, you'll see us again.”
“Angela is awesome. I love her set up for the dogs, great shaded backyard. She gave me updates with photos and videos keeping me connected to my pup. I will definitely return to her with my pup in the future.”
“Dixie had a great stay. Cyndie and her family were so warm and welcoming and it is very clear how much they care for animals. They were wonderful and we will certainly use them again!”
“Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!”
“Ariel was great at communicating and sending updates! This was Thor's second stay with her and I can tell he loved staying with her based on how excited he was to see her again at drop off.”
“Regina was so helpful. I had a very late notice request, and Regina was willing to work with me to make sure my doggy was well taken care of. Made sure to send me pics and videos of my dog. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again!!! Thank you so much, Regina!”
“Ms Sandy was so great with our senior dog, Vixen! I never worried about her and Sandy sent several pictures of her happy! Ms Sandy also was great with some of the senior dog issues Vixen sometimes has. Overall I felt extremely at ease with Vixen staying there and would definitely have her watch our dog again!”
“Erin and Joseph were WONDERFUL. I had so much peace of mind leaving Magnolia in their expert care, and they even transported her to and from my wedding so that she could play a role. I can’t thank them enough, and would definitely take her here again!”
“As soon as we arrived, we felt at ease meeting Presli and Luna. Presli showed us around her home and where our Julio would be for the next few days. We were happy to know he could around with Luna, and be able to relax and sleep inside her home. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our fur baby with Presli, we knew she would care for him like her own! I highly recommend Presli for all your 4 legged babies! If we are back in TN and in need of a sitter, I have Presli information saved. Thank you so much Presli and Luna for welcoming our Julio to your beautiful home and land!”
“Misty was great! She is warm and has a welcoming home with a huge backyard. Her pups were super friendly and she sent lots of pictures and video updates which I appreciated. My dog had a great experience and I would definitely book with misty again!”
“It has been such a pleasure and a relief to have left our girl with Kaitlyn and her family. The first time we left her with someone, it was such a sketchy experience that we weren’t sure we’d ever use Rover again. She was covered in fleas and she seemed to develop a bad habit or two. But now our faith has been restored! We got updates with pictures every day, she was clean and had playmates to keep her happy and busy too. I really hope we’re able to come back here if ever we need to ☺️.”
“Heather was outstanding! Definitely recommend her. She was very communicative and sent photos and videos of Teddy every day. He will definitely be staying with her again.”
About: I am an RN, used to looking after folks since 1987, I have fostered for several dog rescues over the years also. My care and concern for dogs welfare is huge! I’m part time working so have plenty time to spend with the dogs. I have a large country homestead setting, with safe fenced in areas for play and exercise! My two dogs are used to playing with other dog friends - all under supervision, with crates for rest time, and separate areas for mealtimes in case of issues.
“Luffy had a wonderful vacation! They were so accommodating to our needs even though it was a super last minute booking! John communicated really well, I will definitely be boarding luffy here from now on, so blessed to have John care for my dog.”
“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of our pup! Taking care of a young puppy is a big job, and she took it on with competence, grace, and kindness. Our puppy seemed to have a wonderful time there, with lots of outdoor adventures and indoor snuggles. Cindy kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, and we never worried about how she was doing. We are so thankful we found her to watch Dove and look forward to another stay in the future!”
“Elizabeth is wonderful! Her home is spotless-even though she has three ADORABLE dogs of her own. Elizabeth is truly a "dog person". I was worried that my puppy would want to stay forever and be a part of her pack!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carthage on Rover is $27.75 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 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.
96% 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 TN 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.
