“Laura was absolutely amazing with our pup! 🐾 She sent us daily pictures and videos and always replied to our messages quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she truly loved on our fur baby as if he were her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing Laura was caring for him and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter.”
“Hannah & PJ, we’re great with Fletcher! He seemed to have a good time and that put me at ease 🩵 Their dog was a perfect playmate for him. I’m highly recommend their puppy care!”
“For the weekend of March 20-22, we had such a good experience with Carlita watching our Lewey. You always feel a little nervous leaving your dog with someone for the first time, but she took good care of him. We so appreciated the regular updates of how he was doing. She kept us posted on his eating, playing and potty breaks so that we would know how he was doing and adjusting to a new environment. She took him on regular walks, ensured that he had playtime, and it was a plus that he had two other pups to play with. Carlita is professional, friendly and warm, and we would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Carlita, for taking time with Lewey while we were away.”
“Chantel was amazing! she took excellent care of my little one and I felt so comfortable knowing she was in caring hands. I got daily videos, photos, and updates. My dog seem to be having so much fun. Chantel went above and beyond; would recommend to others.”
“Isabel and her husband were amazing. They were extremely flexible with the meet and greet and drop off/pick up times. You can tell that they genuinely love dogs and treated Duncan like their own while he was there. He looked so comfy and loved! I would absolutely book with them again and hope we get the chance to! Thank you both!🤗”
“I had an issue with another sitter I had set up through Rover for when I'd be out of town and they dropped my dogs back at home despite me not being there. I contacted Kimberly immediately and although she was also out of town, she took the time to go to my house and get my dogs as soon as she got back that night. She is an absolute angel and is great with my high energy boys. I cannot recommend her enough. I am so thankful for her!”
“Both Bicky and her partner were so welcoming and energetic, they maintained their place so clean and have a huge fenced backyard, which is really good for dogs to run and play fetch. They treated Simba as their own dog. They took care of him really well, we received updates with photos during his stay. Simba came back home so happy, doesn’t seem like he missed us or home at all.”
“My wife and have been using dog sitters to help us with our significant travel schedule for over 20 years. We have had some good ones, some not-so-good ones, and a couple of very good ones. Presently we have a 9 pound Havanese and a 23 pound mini Irish Doodle. We chose Mitzi (and her family) for our recent two week trip to Long Island. Granted that this was our first time using her, but our experience with Mitzi was as good or better than any other sitter we have ever used. She listens well and has great attention to detail. Her house and large enclosed yard are perfect, and she and her husband both work from home. She loved our dogs as if they were her own (she has four), and they loved her and her entire family. She communicated with pics and video at least two or three times a day to help us stay connected with our dogs and assure us everything was well. Our dogs came home happy and exhausted from so much paly and run time. While nothing unusual happened during their stay at Mitzi's, I am convinced that I could depend on her to do whatever is necessary for them in love. We plan to use Mitzi as long as she is available.”
“I can't say enough good things about Luis! He took amazing care of my dog while I was away. My pup usually gets a little anxious when I'm gone, but with Luis, he was calm and happy the whole time. Luis sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure that pets are comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Joanne took wonderful care of Willow and updated me daily with how she was doing, how much she was eating, and photos of her exploring the yard and house. She was flexible on arrival/pickup time and was kind enough to give me a tour of her house and yard since it was our first stay with her. She’s a great communicator and I felt wonderful about leaving my pup with her. I definitely recommend her and will be leaving my dog with her on future stays!”
“Michelle takes great care of my dogs each time they stay with her. She is dependable. She replies to messages quickly and provides updates on my dogs' stay which includes photos. Thank you for always taking such great care of my dogs!!”
“Julia was great. She sent lots of pictures and it seemed like my dogs truly enjoyed staying with them. She was flexible as our drop off and pick up times had to change, and she made sure to check in often. I will definitely use them again and recommend their service to others.”
“Dior had a great stay at Marissa & Mosieo’s. They have two small dogs & a fenced in yard so she had play buddies, space & time to run around. Marissa shared a video of pure joy. She made herself at home.”
“We are so happy that we found Pam. She is amazing with our two dogs, CC and Chewy. She sent us daily photos of them, and we can see they were really enjoying themselves. Her home was perfect for the dogs, they had their own dog door to go in and out of. A very nice sized and secure backyard in a nice neighborhood. Will be using Pam again in the future and the dogs will be so happy to see her again. :)”
“Alex was so great with my 2 dogs! We had a meet and greet to introduce the dogs and she made me feel super comfortable about leaving them in capable hands. Very responsive, provided great updates, and I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. I would definitely recommend and will book again with Alex when I need a sitter!”
“Andrea is great. We got regular updates with photos and she cares a lot about the pets she watches Sally wasn’t eating her food and Andrea made and added Chicken Broth so Sally would eat. Amazing 🤩”
“Kordula was great with our puppy it’s obvious she was well taken care of ! We enjoyed the daily update photos to know our baby girl was in good hands ! Highly recommend !!”

Ryan and Madeline are absolutely amazing. we did a meet and greet prior to boarding and they were so suit and receptive to my pups, and my pups loved them right off the bat! They took such amazing care of Milo and Ziggy, even went above and beyond and when they got into some mud gave them a quick bath. Sent so many pupdates and kept us in the loop without even having to ask! We are already booking with them again and I’m sure will use them in the future even more. Recommend to anyone looking, your pets are in amazing hands with them!
Jackie was amazing! She took incredible care of our pup Nora during holiday travel and sent us photos of all the fun they had. She took notes during our first meet and greet, followed up with us after and was accommodating when my travel delayed. Thank you so much Jackie!
Raul and his family were lifesavers when I needed someone to watch Bo last minute while traveling. Bo got to spend lots of time in their huge backyard and had another doggie friend that he misses already. They sent pictures and updates and I felt completely at peace for Bo’s first sleepover with someone other than family. Thank you all!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Clayton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $35.31 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,603 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clayton. 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.
97% of Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
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 Clayton 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.
