“We loved Amanda! Duke had a great time spending time with Amanda, and she was so helpful and responsive from day one. We got tons of pictures and updates, and loved seeing what Duke was up to all weekend. Amanda was also really flexible with pick up and drop off times, which was so helpful to us when our flight was delayed 4 hours! We had a great experience and will definitely be using Amanda again in the future. This was our first Rover experience, and I'm glad we had this option for Duke who loves people so much and just wouldn't thrive in a kennel atmosphere. Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of Duke!”

This was my first time using Rover and I can admit I was a bit iffy about the app. Marley is 8 and has never stayed away from me, outside of my parents keeping her. I am very relieved and glad I found Rachel!! She sent lots of pictures and my mind was at ease for my trip!! Thank you thank you Rachel, Marley will definitely be hanging out again!!”

About: As a pet sitter, my goal is to provide more than basic care. I want your dog to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in your absence while maintaining the routines and expectations they are accustomed to at home. I understand the importance of secure handling, appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and respecting each dog’s individual temperament. I am especially passionate about caring for working and high-drive breeds, including dogs that may require experienced handling, structured routines, or additional enrichment. I also understand that some dogs can be sensitive to changes in environment or routine, and I strive to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. Your pets are part of your family, and I treat their care with the same seriousness, attention, and respect I would expect for my own animals. My years of experience with working dogs allow me to provide knowledgeable, dependable, and individualized care for dogs that need someone who truly understands them. Running my own farm allows me the freedom and flexibility to accommodate almost any routines needed for daily walks or drop ins or house sitting. I’ll provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic household care. With 25 years of experience working with animals, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and routines.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pets. I am available during the week and weekends, and I can adapt to different schedules with prior agreement. I promise to provide responsible, punctual and loving care so that your pet feels calm and happy. The safety and well-being of pets are my priority.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. I've spent years working with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have a dog of my own, Wesson, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for all breeds and temperaments, from energetic working dogs to laid-back couch companions. I also have experience with dogs that use training tools such as e-collars and prong collars and can follow your dog's established training routine and preferences. When your dog is in my care, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I'll treat them like one of my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and one-on-one attention into our day. Because I'm home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I can easily accommodate their individual needs and routines. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and exercise, as well as a multi-level home that allows me to separate pets when needed. If a dog is crate-trained or requires their own space, I can accommodate that and ensure they have a quiet area to relax. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any training routines provided by the owner. My goal is to make pets feel at home while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their established routine and environment. I make sure pets receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any special accommodations they need. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Drum Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Drum Hill is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $47 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 245 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Drum Hill. 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 Drum 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 Drum Hill 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 Drum 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Drum Hill. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 Drum 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 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.
