“Pam took great care of our dog while we were on vacation! It was evident that he had a great time with how happy and comfortable he looked at pick-up. We would definitely recommend!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would. Jackie is the BEST! We left our pup with her while we were on vacation and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We got regular updates and pictures. She loved our pup like her own and we felt very comfortable while we were gone and didn't worry about a thing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”
“What a wonderful sitter. Amanda was so caring and kind to my babies all weekend. I got a lot of pictures and videos too. It made my weekend away better knowing they were in good hands.”
“Our beagle, Lady, stayed with Michelle for 12 nights during the Thanksgiving holiday. During Lady’s stay Michelle sent texts, pictures and videos to let me know how she was doing. I never worried about our sweet dog because I knew she was being well taken care of. Michelle was very accommodating for drop off and pick up times. When I came to pick up Lady her bed, food and leash were organized and ready to load in my car. I highly recommend hiring Michelle to take care of your dog!”
“Shawna and Tony are lovely. Shawna took the time to sit, talk and get to know me and Kobe. She was flexible with the time change I needed after I submitted the booking. She provided updates on my little guy. I would highly recommend and book again!”
“My dogs came back fluffy and happy. I can tell they had a great time with Christy. Our normal sitter canceled less that 24 hrs before a trip, and Christy swooped in to save the day. I’m so grateful!!!”
“Amy had a wonderful stay. She was well taken care of and happy when I picked her up. During her stay I received several communication and pictures. I really enjoyed the pictures. Amy absolutely had no problems during her stay, and would definitely let Amy visit with Isabella again. I would also recommend her to anyone needing a place to leave their dog.”
“Ewok loved his stay with Season, he enjoyed playing and sun bathing in the big fenced backyard with the other dogs. We got photo updates every day. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Heather and her family took great care of our dog Remi! Loved the daily photo updates. It’s clear the dogs they watch immediately become part of their family. Would definitely book with Heather again if we need someone to watch Remi while we’re out of town.”
“Jennifer (and her husband) were very welcoming, accommodating and accepting when we first met in their home. My daughter, who just turned fourteen and is usually shy with strangers, felt very comfortable meeting them. As for our Yuki, he felt right at home and began exploring and making friends with their pup as well. I received photos that showed our puppy happy and playful. He was well taken care of and I would gladly use Jennifer’s services again! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home where your pet will be loved and well taken care of!”
“Crystal was great. My dog Toby just stayed with her for a week and a half and from all I can tell he was treated like and felt like part of the family. I received constant updates and pictures and in all he seemed to be either smiling, playing or cuddling or sometimes all three! I hope Toby gets a chance to spend time with Crystal and Barkley again.”
“Carla took my pets in last minute and was eager to do it. During my pets stay she sent me photos and lots of feedback on how they were doing and acting. I really appreciated that and I knew that they were being taken good care of. When I picked them up they were acting happy but normal, as if they never left. I would definitely use her again.”
“Best experience we could have had! He had so much fun and was loved on and walked plenty. He was so happy when I got there. Tori was so friendly. She sent me pics every day with an update and we will definitely be sending Oreo there again anytime we go anywhere!!”
“Tiana was amazing as usual. She took in Ozzie very late at night and made us her top priority. I will continue to book her as Ozzie's sitter because he always comes back so happy.”
“Our pup Lucky had a blast. We had complete peace of mind while Lucky was with Carrie, her family, and pack. The yard is fenced, he made a friend, and is allowed to lay on the couch when relaxing. He also got great healthy food as a bonus, which I can only imagine how much he loved. I strongly recommend considering Carrie for sitting and plan to let Lucky return to see his new friends again.”
“Erika Leigh & Erik R. are THE BEST!! I couldn't imagine trusting anyone the way I do them, not to mention, Judo absolutely adores them!! He is always so well taken care of and beyond happy in their care. Grateful is an understatement ♥️”
“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”
“Pamela and her family were very nice to Roman. I got pictures and video while out of town. Roman is older and set in his ways. They made him feel at home. We will definitely use them again. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Chapel Hill is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,016 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Chapel Hill can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chapel Hill home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
