“Sydney did a fantastic job of caring for our special needs chihuahua mix. We needed someone that could administer insulin injections and keep an eye on her unreliable left rear leg. She came back to us looking healthy and strong so we were very pleased. Sydney gets our highest recommendation.”
“This was our first time boarding Bonsai, and although he is a very anxious pup Mani was very communicative with me about him and he had a great time! I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! I’m a registered nurse, lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom excited to welcome your pup into my home! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have one friendly dog of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like part of the family while they’re with me. Because I have a dog allergy, I’m currently only able to accommodate hypoallergenic breeds. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and provide them with a fun, stress-free home away from home! As a registered nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts each week, but my schedule varies, so my availability changes from week to week. On my days off, I’m home full-time and able to provide plenty of supervision, playtime, walks, and one-on-one attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so you can always see my current availability for boarding and daycare. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely play. I also have one very friendly, well-socialized dog who loves meeting new friends. I’ll provide a clean, loving, and supervised environment so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.

“He was incredibly friendly and patient, and you can really tell how much he genuinely loves and cares for dogs. He took great care of Bluesy and made me feel comfortable leaving her with him. I really appreciated his kindness and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Caleb was amazing with Aspen! He sent me daily photos and videos, and I could tell she was so comfortable with him! He lives in a great community for walks, and she got plenty of exercise! He was very communicative and I was very confident she was being well taken care of. Already planning to book again!”
“Jessica is amazing. She was very flexible with drop off and pickup time. She sent me pics everyday. Simba had a great time with her. I would definitely reach out her again in future.”
“Can’t recall the amount of times I’ve needed Yaryna to watch Sky for Kate and I, but her family always takes great care of Sky. That’s why we always book with Yaryna! Thanks for taking care of Sky!”
“Daria did an amazing job taking care of my dog! Lots of pictures and updates and I could tell she really enjoyed having him and he was well taken care of 😊. He'll definitely be excited to go back!”
“I boarded my two dogs with Luis overnight. Luis has a very calm, quiet personality and my cautious, shy blue heeler warmed up to him immediately. The house itself is in a quiet, residential neighborhood with nice sidewalks. Luis sent me multiple pictures during the first day and it really set me at ease as both my dogs can get a bit anxious in my absence. I highly recommend Luis as a pet sitter.”
“Ariel was such an amazing dog-mom to my frenchie while I was away for 6 nights - she sent frequent photos and updates and cared for her just like I would have, complete with walks, cuddles, and playtime. I will absolutely book Ariel again the next time I travel, it was positive in every way!”
About: I've had the joy of owning two Siberian Huskies and a Golden Retriever, so I'm familiar with the love, energy, and attention that dogs need! Having experience with these breeds has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of affection. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it's going on walks, playing fetch, getting some cuddles, or keeping up with their daily routines, I'll treat your pets like they're part of my own family. Your furry friends will always get lots of love and attention with me! I work full time from home so I will be available to give your dog anything they will need, when staying with me. I'm able to support you all hours of the day! Whether in my home or yours I will give your fur baby as much love and care as I give my own. I'm also availble weekends too. I have a very pet-friendly, walkable neighborhood that has two dog parks. My golden retriever is super friendly and gets along with all dogs. He loves to welcome them into our home by sharing all his toys and treats! We have a townhome, so we have plenty of space for many furry friends. We are also very comfortable with any size doggie. I've used the Rover app for many years for my own pup care and know exactly what it's like to have your doggo cared for by someone else. I would love to take care of your fur baby like my own!
“Teresa was kind and accommodating, especially with our last minute request for a sitter! She took great care of our furbaby as evidenced by the happy demeanor of the regular photo updates and status. Our furbaby was instantly at ease with Teresa and we could tell that she would be treated just like she was her own. Highly recommend Teresa! 5 🐾 rating!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Claire, in the care of an amazing dog sitter africa , and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and took the time to get to know Claire’s personality, habits, and needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Africa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Robin was so easy to work with and took great care of my Beagle! She took the time to ask lots of questions to really understand my dog's unique quirks. Zoe had a great time with her new nap-buddy, Lumpy, and Robin! Would definitely use Robin's services again!”
“I really needed a last-minute Dog Sitter and Kate was quick to respond to my request. She was very communicative and sent me pictures throughout the stay, Pepper had a great time walking around the neighborhood. Would recommend!”

Lauren & Dita, her dog, are great ! She is very prompt with communication, experienced with dogs and very friendly! We did a pre meet to make sure the dogs got along fine. Huck had a blast hanging out with her and Dita for a couple of days & doing a long walk with them both. Her house is very dog friendly with fenced front and back yard. Highly recommend and will be using her again soon for either overnights or doggie daycare.
Nick was great with boarding our dog Arnie, he took him out on a lot of walks and was very attentive to him and to all our requests. Also very communicative and made us feel comfortable with boarding for the first time. I highly recommend Nick and will definitely book again!
They are such a wonderful family to have watch my Suki girl. Suki can be shy and timid, so it was a relief to know she was being watched over and loved on by such a sweet and caring family. I appreciate the pictures they sent over, and I would love to have them watch her again in the future.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Durham is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $66 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.
There are 1,890 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Durham. About 93% of Durham sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
