“We've used Sarai for doggie daycare and a long weekend of boarding and we were so happy with how our sweet girl Ellie was treated. I know Ellie was happy because she would get so excited when we would get to Sarai's house. They have a big fenced in yard and I got may pictures and video's of Ellie playing and relaxing outside. I could tell from all of the pictures that Ellie was being treated like one of the family. We will definitely use Sarai again in the future if we need someone to watch Ellie for us. We highly recommend!”
“Luke took great care of my dog over a holiday weekend. His dog got along great with my dog which was nice to have some dog socialization. He kept us updated about the stay and sent pictures which was appreciated. Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Emily enough!! Our dog Gimli can be nervous about new experiences and I was amazed at how quickly he felt at home with Emily. She really went the extra mile at helping him to adjust in her home and with her pets, and he really thrived there. She is also a fantastic communicator and regularly shared detailed updates and photos that put our minds at ease. When we picked him up after his 8 day stay with her I’m not sure he wanted to leave!”
“Alexandria’s communication was amazing, she was incredibly caring and sent tons of pictures throughout the stay. Her dogs got along great with Hamilton and welcomed him into their home without any issues. She was also very flexible with pickup and drop-off times, which we really appreciated. We look forward to booking again!”
“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.”
“Another great visit with Martine and Ron! Our dogs LOVE going over there. One of them is a very senior dog, who needs lots of care. That didn't deter Martine and Ron from watching him. He and our other dog were very well taken care of, and we received pictures and updates each day.”
“Sloane was fantastic in caring for our dog. We appreciated her thoughtfulness, especially appreciated her coordination with us as we juggled his care while we stay focused on a family member’s health. We can’t imagine better dog sitting.”
“Amazing people with a good home and care for my dog Butter. Butter loved the backyard and Karen looked after Butter with brushing him and cleaning out his paws and keeping me updated. Would recommend or book again with them!”
“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.”
“Scott & Heather are our go-to dog boarders for our two dogs when we leave town. Their communication and love for our dogs allow us to leave on vacation without worry! Josie and Odie are looking forward to their next stay 😊”
“Matt is wonderful! Very communicative, flexible and accommodating, gives quality frequent updates, and took great care of Piper and the stuff we sent with her. We will definitely book with Matt again.”
“Samantha did incredible with Kevin and made sure to keep me posted on his care! I work a lot of long shifts as a nurse and she did a great job making sure Kevin felt loved and played with during those days!! Kevin came home a happy camper. Definitely recommend her!!”
“Wow! Susan was amazing with Sadie. I had a couple of appointments out of the area and needed a sitter for the day. Sadie felt very comfortable with her and immediately I got a photo with Sadie being the lap dog princess she is. When we picked her up she was very relaxed and happy. Would definitely recommend. Susan!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,613 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.
