“I found a boarding option for my dog Buster through Rover, and as someone with a sensitive goldendoodle who tends to get anxious and stop eating when I’m away, I was pretty nervous about leaving him. After reading John and Zena’s reviews and doing a meet-and-greet, I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. They took excellent care of Buster, sending regular photos and videos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear they were attentive to his needs and kept me updated on how he was adjusting. He got along great with their dogs and family, and by the end of his stay, it genuinely seemed like he had made new friends, he even went back to say goodbye before we left. Highly recommend John and Zena for anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and responsible pet care.”
“Eric is amazing with Damon! He always takes such great care of him, and Damon comes home happy, tired, and completely worn out from all the fun he had. 🐾❤️ You can tell he truly enjoys his time there. I’m so happy we found someone we can trust with Damon. Highly recommend Eric!!”
“Morgan did an awesome job taking care of our puppies! Kept me updated daily on how things were going and sent pictures. Most definitely will use her again and refer her to any friends in search of a sitter. Thank you Morgan!”
“Melanie and Addison treated our dogs just like their own. Because of this, I was able to actually enjoy vacation. They are amazing and our dogs were very well cared for.”
“Our favorite sitters took care of our boy once again! He had a good time with his friends. He even got to go to the doggy park a couple of times. Maria and Matthew were fantastic!”
“Lauren and her wonderful family are the very best sitters and genuinely love dogs. This is Ollie's second time visiting, and I know he's happy and loved; he always has a blast playing with Lauren's dog, Milo. Thank you!”
“Courtney was super nice, having a meet & greet was great so I could also see the space where my fur baby would be staying. She was great at communicating and even sent videos of him playing! He came back TIRED from playing with all his new friends! Would definitely recommend her!”
“So happy with our experience with Ricardo! He treated our lab just like family, and by the photos I could tell just how much Bailey was enjoying himself at the farm! He got ample play and love time. Ricardo was great about keeping us up to date on how Bailey was doing every day! We were very busy day of and chose to have pick up and drop off which was also very easy! Overall, I highly recommend Ricardo and will use him any other time Bailey needs to be boarded!”
“Cassandra and Tradd were awesome! They treated Ginger like a member of their family. We received updates and pictures her entire stay. They will be our go-too for Ginger's care from now on.”
“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!”
“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!!!!”
“Eugene is my go-to sitter for Bentley and I’m thrilled to have found him. I know Bentley is always happy to stay with him and I can go out of town in peace, knowing that he’ll be in great hands. I enjoy receiving the updates and images from Eugene, knowing that Bentley is doing just fine. Thank you for everything, Eugene!”
“Jon has been a great sitter for Jinger, we're glad we found him. Our trips are better knowing she's being care for well. We truly appreciate Jon and 100% recommen him for your pet care. Thank you so much Jon!!!!”
“5 stars is not enough. I’d like to give Christina 10 stars. I felt comfortable from the 1st moment we met. My Theo has never been anywhere without his family. Theo did Amazing. Theo was a rescue dog and he wasn’t treated well by his original family. He usually never leaves my side in new places. When we went to Christina’s he was Happy and walked away from me to explore. Which was a 1st for him. Theo loves children and Christina has sweet little ones. I got pictures through out the day and updates. More than I ever expected. Super Happy!!!”
“This was the first time using Rover. My contact with Kristen was easy and after the reading the reviews I felt she was the right choice for Diamond. Diamond came home happy and we will contact Kristen for our next sitting needs.”
“Taylor was amazing with our 10 month old French Bulldog! She was well taken care of and Taylor sent videos throughout the week of her playing outside. I would definitely recommend Taylor for your pet care needs!”
“We were very pleased with Rose's care of Louis and Sassy. We have never left our dogs with anyone other than family so this was a first. Rose has lots of room for dogs to run around which was great since Louis especially is young and needs a lot of exercise. Rose showed us around and explained everything at her disposal for boarding. They were happy when we dropped them off and that made us feel at ease. We were able to enjoy the Labor Day weekend knowing our pups were in good hands! We will be sure to use Rose next time we head to Outer Banks and need to board our dogs.”
“Our meet and greet put us at ease with Kristen’s knowledge and experience so we scheduled our first overnight weekend with her. Her passion and attention to our puppy during the stay was super. We highly recommend her!”

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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elizabeth City on Rover is $38.52 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 331 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.
