“Kelly was absolutely wonderful with our dog Shadow. We were very nervous about leaving him at first as he is nervous of most people. But we left him in wonderful hands and he soon fell in love with Kelly and all her dogs. We really appreciated all the photos and updates to calm our nerves as well. Thank you Kelly!”
About: I’ve had animals of many kinds from tiny to huge growing up. I’d normally house sit for family and friends until I decided to join the Rover crew. I enjoy house sitting as I’ve realized pet are usually more comfortable in their own homes. I have the ability to bathe, walk, feed, and of course play with your pets! I am a full time college student doing majority of my classes online. For the time being my schedule is an empty open book waiting to be filled! I have a huge soft spot for making your pets the happiest they can be while they are with me! If they enjoy the car, cuddling up for a movie, stores, parks, or even just being in the backyard you name it and I’d love to make it happen! They will always be my #1 priority and will be in the best hands.
“Kimberly was the absolute best. She allowed me and nova to come over a couple of days before our scheduled appointment and allowed nova to get adjusted to her space. Kimberly was super accommodating to nova and sent me pictures and updates throughout nova's boarding. I was super nervous because this was my first time boarding nova but Kimberly eased that anxiety with her kindness, care for nova, and professionalism. Thank you Kimberly!”
“Sully really enjoyed himself With Imani. She's sweet, caring and youll be able to tell when you meet her that your pet will be on great hands. Sully's really picky with who he likes and it didn't even take two minutes to get his approval 😂 will definitely bring him by again!”
“We had a great experience! They were responsive, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. Our golden pup had a wonderful time. We really appreciated the photo updates without having to ask — it gave us peace of mind.”
“Another wonderful stay with Angie and her family! I’m so grateful to be able to go away and leave my special needs dog with her and not have to worry!! I know she’s in loving, capable hands. The whole family helps to make my dogs feel comfortable and safe. Five stars!”
“Denise took wonderful care of our elderly dog! She was patient, kind, and was able to understand our dog’s needs and met them (administered medications, many short walks, and no stairs). We will try to schedule with Denise again when we need care for our senior dog.”
“Robin was excellent! Our poodle took to her immediately and all her pictures showed her happy and relaxed. Communication with Robin was easy and we will definitely use her again!”
“This was our second time using Irene. She was great with our new pup Charlie. He loved his stay. She walked him every day, played with him every day and sent a bunch of pics/videos. We feel very comfortable leaving our pups with Irene. She’s great and I highly recommend.”
“Stephanie is great, she took excellent care of our little sassy dog. Kept me updated with daily picture. Will def use recommend and keep using her boarding services. Thank you very much for taking care of Cindy ?”
About: I have had several dogs in my family that I have taken care of, including one with reactivity and separation anxiety. I have also been working at the animal shelter for over a year, where I am a mentor. I have worked with several different animals, and many different sized dogs there. Am proficient in walks, enrichment, light training, play groups, and general care. I also enjoy photography and love taking custom pictures of pets! I am currently available all week, with lots of flexibility on time. I prefer to work during the weeks, and in the mornings, but can adapt depending on the pet needs. I have both pet sat at my house and at the owner's house, and am comfortable doing both. If visiting another home, I like to have a throughout understanding of the pet and their needs. I prefer to do long-term sitting at my home, as I have a large yard where they can explore safely.
“I had a great experience with Emily & Adam! They took excellent care of Newt while I was away and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely book again!”
About: I have been around and grown up with all different animals my whole life! Even though I have been taking care of animals my whole life, I started overnight stays 5 years ago during my freshman year of college. I am comfortable with animals of all kinds and will do whatever they need to feel comfortable. I have experience giving different medications and following specific routines. I have two crazy German shorthaired pointers back at home and they are super high maintenance so I am used to it all! I completely understand that animals are family members and I am sure to do whatever possible to treat them the same way you would to be sure both them and you can stay stress free! I am currently a physical therapy student at UNC, so I do have classes during the day. However, if possible I will be sure to stop by in between classes and spend the rest of my free time with the animals. My best availability is from Friday night through Sunday night, but can still be there throughout the week just with less total hours spent at the house. I will be sure to follow whatever routine your animal and you are most comfortable with! Whatever is needed I can get done. I also keep things clean and will be sure to leave your house cleaner than when you left it!
“This was my first time using this service and I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with Ashlee, she sent me great pictures and her services was 10/10. I will definitely be using her again and referring others.”
“Laurin did awesome! We've had our 2 German Shepherds with her 3 times now. We've used other sitters and kennels over the years and they're usually unhappy to be dropped off but when we take them to Laurins they're excited to go. She does a great job communicating, taking care of the dogs, and genuinely cares about them. We'll be using her many more times I'm sure.”
“Patrick was wonderful and so accommodating to our uncertain pickup and drop off schedule. Oreo took to him immediately and Patrick was very quick to respond on her status and send pictures of her. Thank you Patrick! If we’re in Chapel Hill again we will definitely book another stay.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Elon is $44

Alexis went above and beyond. She house sat/dog sat. I was really nervous because this was the longest we were leaving our dog & just moved into a new home so I was also worried about the house getting messy. Alexis kept the home in great condition and best of all Gigi had a great time with her. I was updated daily with pictures and videos & messaged throughout the day for status updates. She took Gigi for walks, got her treats and toys, and really made us feel like we left our dog in great hands. I definitely recommend Alexis for your next booking!
Our 2 year old Border Terrier spent time with Debbie this past weekend and he seems to have had a great time! Geordie came home happy, and the photos and updates she sent showed us that he was well cared for. He has recently developed separation anxiety, so having Debbie’s kind attention meant a great deal to us. We were able to enjoy our weekend with family and friends at our son’s wedding knowing that Geordie was in excellent, safe hands. We definitely recommend Debbie!
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.
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

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Elon is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $60 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 655 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elon. About 93% of Elon 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.
