“Hannah is the best! This was my first time using a Rover and my puppy is only a year old so I was extra nervous about using a service for the first time, but I’m so happy I did because we found Hannah! My puppy was so well taken care of and I got regular updates and photos from Hannah which made me so happy and feel more at ease. I’ve already rebooked her to take care of my little girl again! Thank you, Hannah! 😊”
“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Of all the Rover sitters who have watched Piper, Danielle was by far the best with communication. She gave us just enough updates to know Piper was doing well, happy, and enjoying her stay without overdoing it. She made sure Piper got some nice little walks but also plenty of time to relax and feel comfortable. Thanks to Danielle’s communication, I never once worried about Piper while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking Danielle again soon!”
“Caitlin was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures daily. My dog also got along great with her dog, and it made me feel better knowing she already had a schedule and would treat my dog as her own. Would absolutely use her again!”
“Caleigh did a great job taking care of Wallace! She was communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was great about asking what Wallace needed in terms of routine and walks. You can tell she’s a dog lover!”
“Cait-Lynn was amazing with our pup who had a bit of a hard time adjusting to being away. She was truly a saint and couldn’t be sweeter. She Sent us pictures and updates throughout the day and just handled our dog so so so well. We are so thankful to have found her sweet self”
“This woman saved my life! My neighbor was supposed to watch my dog and her flight got delayed. I left to go out of town at 6 am and by 5 pm my neighbor was supposed to come over and get my Bentley. So I was in a jam and needed someone to care for him! I was bawling my eyes out in the Dallas airport and Allison went and got my baby and kept him for the weekend! She sent many pictures and texts messages! I was so nervous to leave him with someone I didn’t meet in person but she made me feel som comfortable. Whenever I fly out of town, Bentley will be going with Allison if she’s available!”
“Tiffany is great with my dog and cat! She was able to watch them while we will moving and sent constant updates and cute pictures. We never have to worry about our furbabies when they are with her. Thanks for taking care of Clover and Zuri!”
“Phil did a great job hosting my dog Mills for a weekend stay. Thoughtful updates and communication and took good care of Mills. Highly recommend and will be booking again in the future.”
“We have a somewhat neurotic corgi and both Kristine and her mother Snow were very understanding and patient about her special needs. Kristine was traveling so Snow watched our pup for 3 days and I felt that she genuinely cared for her wellbeing, showed her love and that she was safe while we were away. I would have liked a few more updates, but Snow sent enough that I did know how she was doing and that she was OK.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and other pets, my whole life and have always loved helping take care of them. I was a dog sitter when I got out of college and am looking to get back into it before getting a pet of my own. I work from home and have pretty flexible hours! I am also a very active person and would love to bring your pets on one of my daily walks. I live in an apartment that is in a more rural part of the city, so your dog will be walked in quiet neighborhoods and parks. I want to make sure me and my home is a safe space for your pet.
“I've used Lauren before and it seemed to go well. But when I pulled up this time my dog knew where he was and got so excited. He pulled me straight to her apartment door and stood outside. Clearly he was eager to be back! I can tell he had a fun time playing with her and her dog and he came back exhausted. He has been sleeping all morning. I'll certainly reach out to Lauren if I'm in need again.”
“My fur baby was right at home. Aquisha was awesome and made me feel very comfortable with leaving Zeus with her. i didn’t worry about him one bit and she sent me pictures daily.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Erika was amazing! She did a great job sending updates and pictures. I felt so calm knowing that Ollie was being looked after with the utmost care. She went above and beyond by taking Ollie on hikes, long walks, and abiding by all his little quirks. I could tell Ollie had a blast and loved playing with her sweet dog, Kru. The day I was supposed to pick Ollie up, my flight was delayed til super late, and Erika was extremely responsive and cooperative working with me to find the best way to handle the pickup. She truly knows what a dog parent wants when letting someone watch their pup, and she’ll treat them like on of her own!”
“First time leaving our 6 month puppy. Cody did a great job taking care of him. He sent multiple pictures and videos a day. He kept us up to date what was going on with Jersey and adopting to the new environment. Absolutely had a fantastic experience”
“Monica was amazing!!!! Our dog Charlie was in the absolute best of hands, and we appreciated the sweet pictures and videos. Will absolutely rebook and highly recommend!!”
“Bailey was amazing!!! I could tell Penny had a lot of fun when I picked her up. Bailey updated us with lots of really cute pictures and videos. She definitely cares and trustworthy. 100% will book again every time I go out of town! So glad we found her!!!”
“Roadie loved her 2+ week stay with Charlotte so much that she wasn't sure about going home! Charlotte was quick to respond with photos/updates and was thoughtful about Roadie's needs -- for example giving her solo play time when she was unsure around another dog. I would not hesitate to bring Roadie back to Charlotte's home.”
“We had the very best experience with Ana!! Her and her fiancé took such great care of my dog, Mabel. She sent daily photos and videos, which I was so appreciative of. I will definitely go back and would highly recommend!! Thanks so much, Ana!!”

Ashley was wonderful! Joe has his quirks and needs and Ashley met them all with kindness and thoughtfulness. She was communicative and really just wonderful. Her house and yard are also beautiful and perfect for pups! Very happy to have found such a wonderful sitter and will definitely use her again!
I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Eddie! He was absolutely AMAZING with my German Shepherd, Junior! From beginning to end, the care, attention, and genuine love he showed Junior exceeded every expectation I had. Junior enjoyed long walks, had free range of Eddie’s home, and was treated like part of the family. Eddie followed Junior’s dietary instructions perfectly, which meant so much to me. He also kept me updated with the most beautiful pictures, including some adorable photos of Junior posing with pumpkins! But what truly touched my heart was picking Junior up. I have NEVER seen him so relaxed, comfortable, and completely free of anxiety after staying with a sitter. In fact, Junior was so excited that he practically gave me a tour of Eddie’s entire house and backyard, as if he were proudly showing me his second home! It was the sweetest thing! As a dog mom, there is no greater peace of mind than knowing your fur baby is not just being watched but is genuinely happy, loved, and cared for. Eddie didn’t simply provide a place for Junior to stay. He gave him a home away from home, and that is priceless! Eddie, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking such exceptional care of my boy! You have absolutely earned my trust, and I would recommend you to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and truly outstanding pet sitter.
Our pups loved playing with their puppy playmate! Charlotte provided us with regular video updates and pictures which we really appreciated. Our 90 pound golden retriever even got some individual attention while his sister enjoyed having a friend who could match her energy and enthusiasm for play. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We definitely recommend Charlotte.
Taylor was great and Rocky looked like he had such a fun time! He got along great with her dog and she even took them to the WWC to run around and play. Taylor is super communicative and gave updates throughout the stay. She was also very flexible when I missed my flight and had to pick up Rocky late at night instead--thank you!! Will definitely book with Taylor again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Charlotte is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $70 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,485 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Charlotte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Charlotte 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 Charlotte 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 Charlotte.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlotte. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Charlotte 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
