“Tracy took great care of our dogs these past few days. She sent daily pics and updates and also bathed them. When we picked them up they did not act all crazy, we had a nice ride home. Thank you Tracy for the great care. We will definitely reach out to Tracy next time and recommend her to our family and friends and anyone else shopping for a great pet sitter.”
“Joanne is incredible! I had to travel outside the country with no internet access. Even though it was my dog's first stay with her, I was completely at ease. She reads dogs very well and knows how to ensure that all of the furry guests are safe and happy. Such wonderful pictures and emails awaited our return along with a happy dog!!!”
“I give this lady a 5 star rating... Marshall can be a bit of a handful full he is full of energy. He is still a pup 14 months thinking he's part human.. She sent me pictures of Marshall. He looked very happy! I could enjoy my trip without having to worry about him. I got 2 more trips planned with her in the near future. I would recommend anybody bringing their fur baby here to her and her daughter. Marshall took right to her daughter and her daughter.”
“Mitzi and her family took great care of our boy, Chase, over Thanksgiving. She sent pictures regularly and kept us well updated throughout his entire stay. From the beginning, she made us feel at ease. She and her family gave him the same love and care as if he were a part of their family. I look forward to having her care for Chase again.”

“Luis is the best! He was so gracious to pick Egypt up from the hotel location and scheduled the pick up with my mom. Egypt saw him and willingly scampered off to his car. He gave her lots of love attention and walks! Luis sent pictures every morning with comments on her day. We look forward to having Egypt stay with him for future dates!”
“Sarah is the absolute best! We had a last minute sitter cancellation, and she truly saved the day. Appi Loo settled in right away like she was already at home. We received plenty of photos throughout the day of Appi and the new friends she made, which completely made my day. Knowing she was in a safe, loving home away from home meant everything to us. Without a doubt, Sarah is now our first choice and go-to every time!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
Jessie was absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of Murphy, and I could tell he had the best time with her. She was responsible, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I will absolutely be using her again and would highly recommend her!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,607 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.
96% 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.
