“Alice pet sat our 3 cats and dog for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went! This was our first time using her services, and she completely exceeded our expectations. What stood out most was her incredible communication. She sent detailed updates every day—even twice a day at the beginning—along with photos and videos. I wasn’t worried for a single moment because I knew what was going on with my pets in even more detail than if I had left them with my dearest friend. Alice didn’t just follow instructions—she genuinely problem-solved for our pets’ comfort. When she noticed the cats weren’t eating as much, she realized their food was near a cold window and moved everything to a warmer spot. She relocated all their things—food bowls, litter boxes, and water fountain—to the warmest room so they’d be comfortable. That kind of initiative really impressed us. She paid attention to each pet’s unique personality. She noticed Max loves carrying toys in his mouth (he even brought one on a walk and dropped it somewhere along the way!), that Dino meows toward the supply bags, and caught adorable moments like Ashly sleeping with her head hanging off the couch arm. She knew exactly which brush Dino goes crazy for and that Ashly loves being rolled over for pets. She was also patient and gentle with our shyest cat, Kailas, who spent most of his time hiding under the bed. She found ways to bond with him on his terms—leaving lollipop treats near him and noticing he’d quietly eat them when she wasn’t looking. By the end, she even had him eating from her hand! You can tell Alice genuinely loves animals. Her updates were full of warmth and personality that very often made us smile while we were reading them. We had complete peace of mind knowing our pets were in such attentive, loving hands. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”

“This is our third time using Vanessa, and I know Finn thoroughly enjoys his time there. She sends great updates, and she clearly cares for the dogs she watches. Highly suggest!”

“Emily and William were amazing. They took excellent care of Skilo, including long daily walks and taking frequent photos! I picked him up happy and healthy, I travel a lot for work and appreciate having a place like their's to take him where I know he will be safe and well cared for.”

“Evie and Fritz took amazing care of my dog, Moose, while he stayed with them for a week. They were kind, caring, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs, and Moose absolutely loved his time with them. I also appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and communication throughout his stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Evie and Fritz to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive pet sitters, and I would happily book with them again!”

“I wish I could give Heather and John more than 5 stars! They took wonderful care of both my timid older dog and crazy puppy boarding for over a week, and sent lots of pictures and updates to calm my nerves about leaving the little guy for the first time. The dogs appeared at home and comfortable from the first day. Heather and John were also flexible about extending for a couple of extra days when weather changed our travel plans, saving the end of our trip. Highly recommend!”

“Argus took care of Zoey when we were out on vacation. He did a good job sticking with Zoeys feeding schedule and also provided extra attention to feed her medication”

“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”

“Crystal was great with my senior pup! We enjoyed her sending pictures and updates of our furry daughter. Crystal is caring and patience with my pup and able to take her for walk several times a day.”

“Krystene and her family are awesome! My dog Wilbur has stayed with them twice now and we had a great experience both times. Wilbur can have a lot of separation anxiety, so it was amazing to see how comfortable he was with Krystene even after staying with her only once. Would definitely recommend Krystene!”

“Yara, Angel, and their daughter Zoe took phenomenal care of our dog Loki! Their communication was great and they sent regular updates. We can’t recommend them enough!”

“Wow Greg and Julie are amazing! I always got updates and they know so many training tricks from their background with dogs! 12/10 recommend! Plus my dog got to play with his first cat! Book them now!”

“Marilyn always takes the best care of Luna!! She and her family are true dog lovers and go above and beyond to make sure each dog in their care is well loved and gets the exactly what they need!”

“Emily and her partner were great! They were super communicative and flexible with pick up/drop off times. They sent me lots of updates which I really appreciated. My dog had a great time with them!”

“Can’t recommend Ashley enough! This was our first time using Rover while my wife sat for the bar exam, so it was a stressful time, but we never worried about our two dogs who stayed with Ashley. It gave us so much peace of mind! Our dogs had a tough time adjusting to being in a new space and Ashley was incredibly understanding, flexible, and compassionate. She also sent a bunch of pictures, which was great! Can’t recommend her enough!”

“I needed a sitter fairly quickly and Anitra was both kind and flexible to accommodate my request. She provided daily updates and pics to assure me that Hershey was relaxed, comfortable, cared for and getting along with her pups which was much appreciated. Needless to say, I would definitely book with her again.”

“Our experience with Ashley&family taking care of Bruno, was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the moment Bruno arrived, we felt completely at ease. She was truly amazing with him, treating him like her own. He was clearly given tons of love, attention, and exercise during his stay. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and full of great energy, which is the best sign a dog owner can ask for! Finally, we have to emphasize her extreme flexibility regarding our check-out time. Our travel plans had an unexpected delay, and Ashley was incredibly accommodating and understanding, making a potentially stressful situation completely stress-free for us. We are so grateful for her willingness to work with our schedule. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her for Bruno again!”

Naotake took great care of Monny while we were away. He was very thoughtful, communicative, and kept us updated throughout her stay. Monny can be a picky eater and is sensitive to heat, but he paid close attention to her needs and made us feel at ease. We especially appreciated his kindness and the detailed updates. We would definitely trust him with Monny again. Highly recommend!

Ashleigh and Jason were amazing! My sweet Izzy was taken into their home like a member of their own family. It was her first stay with them and they made me feel at ease providing updates and sending pictures regularly. When I picked her up I could tell immediately that she was happy and so well loved and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Ashleigh and Jason, Izzy will be back with them in July for our next vacation!

Gregg has been our favorite pet sitter during our time in NC. He is very professional, and his house has a beautiful and big fenced yard in a quiet area. We reliably received happy and fun pictures of Molly while we were away and that gave us peace of mind. I can’t recommend Gregg enough!

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!

My dog, Lyla, had a great time with Nate! He was prompt with communication both before and during Lyla’s visit. He sent frequent photos and updates of my pup’s adventures. Also, he kept me informed about how she was settling in and adjusting during her stay. I hope Nate is available the next time I need a dog sitter; I know that Lyla would be happy to return!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,875 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chapel Hill. 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.
95% of Chapel Hill 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 Chapel Hill 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 Chapel Hill 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 Chapel Hill.
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 Chapel Hill 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.
