“Our 23 month old yellow lab Dillon had the time of his life for a whole week. He hasn't been away from home except short day trips here and there since we brought him into our lives at 6 weeks old. For the first time he got to play with other dogs including her's, her beautiful children, also 2 cats and of course Anna. As a matter of fact he came home a better behaved dog. When I asked Anna what she did to train him, she said nothing, he must have picked it up from my dogs. Note she is a professional dog trainer and has well trained dogs. She is a a physically, spiritually and intellectually beautiful lady too bad there are only 5 stars cause I'll give her 6.”
“Scott and Ellen did an excellent job making sure Harold got enough excercise and taking care of him. They are very experienced dog sitters and seemed very prepared when I brought my dog over to their house. I enjoyed the pictures they sent, my dog looked like he had a good time with them. I would definitely have them watch him again!”
“This has been our best experience here on Rover. Joaquin and his fiancé communicated with me daily and sent pics of my baby. I will be using them again very soon.”
“Lakonka was theeee best sitter. From the meet and greet to the end of Phoebe’s stay, she was extremely professional, super friendly and easy to communicate with. I received pictures or a video every day which is truly appreciated when I’m away from my baby awhile. I highly recommend Lakonka for your fur baby’s needs. So much so, I’ve already coordinated the next time Phoebe will be in her care :)”
“Pixie had an amazing time with Starla and her kids during her first stay with Rover. Starla gave Pixie extra attention, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. Her kids were incredibly sweet, showing Pixie lots of care and affection. It truly felt like Pixie had a wonderful time with them.. I am sure will use starla rover again and again..”
“Tami was great. She was wonderful with my dog Luna when we went to visit and also when Luna was nervous that I was leaving her. She kept me updated all weekend on how it was going and was very flexible when I had to change plans to avoid a snowstorm. I will be using Tami again soon to take care of my girl!”
“Grace was absolutely amazing!!! Jasper had a lot of fun and she took great care of him. She kept me updated with photos and videos during his stay and we could tell he was having a great time. Will definitely book with Grace for our future needs!”
“I truly cannot put into words how amazing Evie and Fritz are as dog sitters. My dog, Bean, absolutely adores them, which was very evident from all the photos they sent of her cuddling with them and playing with them and the other pups at their house. I’m so happy I found them and will be bringing Bean here any time I need a sitter. Thank you, Evie and Fritz!!”
“10 out of 10!! Super accommodating! And super loving to my only child. Lots of pictures and was open to keeping him an extra day due to my fight being canceled. I didn't have to worry about him at all! Cooper will be back! Thank you!!”
“Judy did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet mini schnauzer. She is trustworthy and gives plenty of updates with pictures. Ever since we moved to this area, we have had a hard time finding someone who we can completely trust to keep our baby while we are gone, but Judy checks off all of our boxes! Judy should be your go to ESPECIALLY if you have a schnauzer. Our baby came home happy and tired. Thank you for everything Judy!”
“Stephanie was awesome. I was nervous because it was Milo’s first time being boarded. She reassured me and embraced him right away. She sent texts during his stay and a picture to let me know how he was doing. When Milo returned home he was worn out!! He ran and played so much during his stay that he slept most of the day when he got home.He had plenty of space to run and play and was showered with plenty of affection. I appreciate Stephanie so much❤️. I would certainly book her again.”
“We had Hannah watch our dog for the first time, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was kind, reliable, and communicative from start to finish. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Hannah to watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
About: I grew up on a farm with 5 dogs. When I moved to the US, I got my own puppy (a golden retriever), and I trained her myself. I foster dogs and cats from nearby shelters. I always make sure to follow instructions for a seamless transition for your animal! I have a dog myself. When my family and I got her, I signed a contract to take care of her myself. She is now almost 8 years old, always full of joy and in great health. I love to play with dogs, and get them tired and ready to take a nap! I am ready to clean after dogs if needed (in the house and outside), and take care of them no matter their needs. I want you and your pet to feel taken care of.
“This is Max’s second time staying with Tyra. He seemed to have an even better time than the last! Tyra sent many pictures of his adventures with his new best friends! I’m sure he already can’t wait to visit again.”
“We are so glad to have found Isabel! Both our dogs had a wonderful time with her family, her dogs, and other guests while we were out of town for a week. She kept us updated and sent many photos to our delight. We trust her and feel comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Highly recommend!”
“Dessie took great care of our dogs. She took them to the dog park and sent us updates daily. She also gave us a nice bag of treats, doggie bags, and a nice letter! I could tell my dogs were super happy with their stay and well taken care of”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was getting married nearby and she watched my pup which made the whole thing possible. Her property is perfect, she has a huge fenced in paddock that Shadow loved. She sent tons of photos and videos! I feel like Shadow was well taken care of and I'd definitely book again.”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

Anna was awesome. First of all she was so accommodating to a change in schedule last minute. Lucy absolutely loves Anna. I received lots of photos and videos and updates on Lucy. This was her first time staying with someone so we were nervous. Anna will be my go to dog sitter from here on out!!!
Lexi did an amazing job watching Patch while I was out of state. Patch can be nervous with new people and has a fairly specific care routine, but Lexi was patient, attentive, and made her feel comfortable. She sent regular updates, photos, and a video, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took Patch on walks, to the park, and even out for a pup cup. She also went above and beyond by buying toys and treats for Patch to enjoy during her stay. It was clear that Patch was well cared for and had a great time. Lexi was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Patch again!
I had the pleasure of hiring Danielle to watch Harmony for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with her care. She took excellent care of Harmony, keeping her happy and comfortable. Danielle was very communicative, checking in with me throughout the stay and sending adorable pictures of Harmony. It was such a relief to know my senior dog was in good hands. I will definitely be a repeat customer and highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Debbie did an amazing job with our Shih Tzu, Major!! She sent us several pictures and videos of Major and kept us updated on how he was doing throughout his stay with her. He is very kind and caring with her furry clients.🐶 We highly recommend her and are already planning to to book her again soon.
Janie and her fur babies are wonderful! Janie is so caring. Sent pictures of Brandi. I appreciate her doing that. We don’t get to travel much, but whenever we do, I will definitely check with Janie first, and hope that she will be available. Thanks to Janie and Rover! Kathy Erdman

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elon is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 647 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Elon 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 Elon home-away-from-home, 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 Elon.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Elon 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 , 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 .
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.
