“Absolutely fantastic! John and Zena took excellent care of Fergus. John is a real animal lover and I felt very comfortable to leave Fergus with him. I loved the daily check-ins with news on how Fergus was bonding with John 😊. Fergus had an amazing time and we will definitely be relying on John and Zena when we go out of town again!”
“We booked boarding services for our three pups with Eric just 48 hours prior to going on vacation. Upon visiting Eric’s home for introduction and so he could meet our pups, we knew this was going to be a great experience. Eric and his family run a very impressive boarding service and he kept us up to date on the status of our fur babies. We’ve already booked his boarding services for two other vacations this year. 10 Star worthy!!!”

In all the pictures they send, Lily looks so comfy and like she's being treated as if she was right at home.”

“Eugene did an outstanding job! Very attentive to the pups and sent periodic pic and updates as to their well-being. They had plenty of land to roam and also went on regular walk. Upon drop off they were fully content with him and were happy and healthy at pickup. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”
“Maria & Matthew are the absolute best! We’ve used them twice and each time it gets better! Our dog loves his mini vaca at their house with his doggie friends. Their communication is incredible! Maria and Matthew are our go to sitters!”

“Sabrina and her assistant, Lauren, were so warm and welcoming. Mabel, our cockapoo, ran right into the house at drop off - just a few days after our meet and greet. It was definitely an easy experience and I'd highly recommend Sabrina. Thank you!”
“Deza had the best time with Rose! Rose and her family watched our pup for 7 days as we weren't able to have her stay with us on vacation and Rose allowed us to pop in a few times to take her out to explore. From the spacious farm for Deza to run around to the cute air conditioned pet suites, she was excited from the moment she got there. Rose always responded immediately and made sure to send photos of our sweet girl throughout her stay. We will definitely be using Rose again!”
“When I was looking for a pet sitter for our senior dog and read the reviews of Theresa and her family I knew she would love our fur baby, Holly, as much as her own family. Thanks to Theresa we were able to enjoy our week in Duck, NC knowing Holly was close by. She sent us daily photos of Holly, which also confirmed our decision to have her stay with Theresa. I can’t thank her enough for patience and love this week! If you’re looking for a pet sitter in OBX who will love your pet as much as you do... I highly recommend Theresa!”
“What an amazing service! I loved the videos, photos and daily check ins! She took such amazing care of my puppy! Nox got to play in the puppy pool, socialize and cuddle in bed. I will be booking again!”
“OMG!!!! By far THE BEST EXPERIENCE I could ask for. Loved the transparency from the beginning! My Harmonie had the BEST time and I loved the pic mail received during her stay. Definitely will rebook when in town!!!!”
“Kristin did a great job watching our dog, Lucky for 3 days. Kristin sent pictures of Lucky walking and getting a belly rub, which he loved. I would highly recommend Kristin to watch your dog (or other pet). Very responsible. Thanks Kristin”

Duke,Scooby,and Brittany loved their stay with Jenny. They especially loved being able to go in and out as they wanted. Duke and Scooby enjoyed their supervised swim times to the pond.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elizabeth City on Rover is $40.66 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 335 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elizabeth City. 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.
93% of Elizabeth City 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 Elizabeth City 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 Elizabeth City 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 Elizabeth City.
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 Elizabeth City 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.
