“Melanie and James were fantastic with Jax! Jax made himself at home soon after my boyfriend and I left. Melanie and James are very personable people. We will definitely book with them again if/when the need arises.”

“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with our Katy girl! She was great at communicating, sending photos, and making sure we were 100% comfortable taking care of our fur child! Highly recommend, and can't wait to use her again!”

“Charity was so nice and welcoming of Heinrich. Sometimes he is scary to people because of how big he is. She updated us with pictures everyday. He was definitely tired when we got him back so I’m sure he had a blast over there with her and the other dogs. We would definitely use her again. You can tell she loves the dogs that she takes care of and they love her because they all always want to be around her.”

“Tyler and his family are the best!! Tyler sent pics of Harley daily and made sure our Harley was well taken care of and happy!!! We will definitely be using Tyler again!! Thanks Tyler!!!🥰”

“I can't tell you how happy we are to have found Carri on Rover! Our shy, nervous rescue loved his experience with Carri! He was so well taken care of and had a blast. Carri sent pictures and videos and gave us updates on how he was doing. We were so impressed. My husband and I kept saying, "it was like our dog was at summer camp". We had such peace of mind knowing he was with her, that we were able to completely enjoy our vacation! We will definitely be repeat customers.”


“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”

“Misty took great care of Luna! I received updates on how she was doing along with pictures, which helped to put my mind at ease and I know my girl had a great time. We will definitely request with Misty for our next trip.”


“Absolutely wonderful! We have no doubt that Joey and Erin took excellent care and loved our two pups very much while we were out of town for a wedding. We are thrilled to know that we have them just around the corner for any possible future travels that we cannot bring our two furbabies along for. They gave us daily updates and photos. Thank you so much 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 ☺️.”

“Absolutely recommend Shilo! She took care of our mini dachshund Lizzy so lovingly and carefully like her own. The communication was so good along with photos. Shiloh’s home is clean and perfect areas for walking dogs in a beautiful neighborhood. Will definitely use Shilo again!!!”

“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!”

“Cyndie was great! Her home is super accommodating and setup perfectly for sitting. Our pup couldn’t have had a better experience. If Cyndie will have him, he will be back!”

“Words cannot express how great Catherine cared for my little man! He was with her for two nights, she sent lots of photos and even bathed him for me. She was extremely flexible with pickup & dropoff. She actually took him in last minute for me and I’m extremely thankful for her. I can’t wait for Oliver’s next sleepover there!”

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 is the best! Roscoe is a very anxious black lab but she made him feel like he was home. She communicates well and sends pictures often. First time we’ve left Roscoe and didn’t worry one time about him. She’s the best! Thank you Cindy!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carthage on Rover is $27.75 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 300 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.
100% 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.
