“This was our baby’s first time being boarded and I am glad my mind could be at ease. The process was smooth from booking through pickup. Kody was overwhelmed with being away from his humans but the next day he was happy and playing with other dogs and we were sent pictures to show how he was doing. They were very responsive to texts and made sure they were aware of any special needs/concerns. We will definitely book again!”

“Ana is amazing. Our fur baby was so loved. It was our first time using Rover and I love it. Thank you Ana for loving our baby like he was your own. We have tried facility boarding before and he would come home shaken and so upset. We have found our fur baby person. Thank you”

“My two dogs stayed w Kurt while we vacationed out of the country. I was very apprehensive about leaving them, especially my mastiff as he has separation anxiety. Kurt was great! He sent me updates and photos/videos which put me at ease.”

“I’m so glad I came across Shadella’s profile for my pet. I had a trip planned and didn’t have a sitter until I came to this app. She took very good care of my dog. She made sure to update and send me pictures throughout the day. She was very responsible. The communication was great and it was fast and easy to book with her.I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!”

About: I have experience in providing comprehensive care for dogs, including feeding, exercise, and administering medications. I am skilled in recognizing behavioral cues, maintaining routines, and ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. Whether it's daily walks, training sessions, or providing companionship, I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for dogs. I’m currently in school and have a very flexible schedule. I have 7 days a week availability. Monday 12-4pm are the only hours I will not be able to provide a service. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for our pets to run around. I have one older dog and a small cat. I have extra bedrooms to provide plenty of space for a safe and clean environment.

About: Looking for a sitter who pays attention to your dog’s habits, follows your instructions, and understands that every pet is different? I offer boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits in Raeford, with walks and visits available in surrounding areas. I also have access to Fort Bragg. My background in dog training helps me bring structure, patience, and mental enrichment to your dog’s care. Whether your dog enjoys practicing familiar cues or needs a gentler pace, I take time to understand what works for them. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs with special needs. For boarding, I welcome dogs from just one guest household at a time. Your dogs can stay together without sharing their visit with boarding dogs from other families. They’ll join my two resident dogs in a home with a fenced yard, with compatibility discussed before booking. I welcome detailed instructions. Your pet’s feeding routine, familiar cues, preferences, and boundaries help me provide care that feels consistent with home. I also offer cat drop-ins for families who want their cats cared for in familiar surroundings. I do require meet and greets for first time clients. Daycare and boarding stays are required to be dog friendly and will be required to meet my two pups in a neutral location before booking is confirmed. Pets must be up to date on vaccinations and not be carrying fleas. Any and all behavioral issues must be disclosed prior to booking. This allows us both to determine if my care and environment is the best fit for your pet. Pet care is my main focus, so I have flexibility to plan visits, walks, and stays around your pet’s routine. Before booking, we’ll discuss the timing and attention they need to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I’m based in Raeford, with access to Fort Bragg, and welcome inquiries from Fayetteville, Hope Mills, and nearby communities. Include your dates and neighborhood when messaging so I can confirm availability for your location. My home has a fenced yard and room for dogs to play and relax indoors. I welcome boarding dogs from one guest household at a time, giving your pets individual attention while allowing dogs from the same family to stay together. I have two dogs of my own, so we’ll discuss compatibility and arrange a meet-and-greet before a first stay. Tell me how your dog handles play, sharing space, and downtime so we can assess whether my home suits them. For care in your home, I follow your instructions and respect your pet’s familiar routine and your household boundaries. Details are welcome, especially the little things that help your pet feel secure.

About: Since childhood I've had animals. I profoundly love dogs and cats. I have volunteered at rescues and shelters in the past. I currently work for a local veterinary clinic. I'm committed to providing safe, excellent care for your furbabies! I currently have a full time job at a local veterinary clinic, however, I have flexibility in my schedule and don't work weekends.

Plenty of love and attention given so they will not feel alone.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my proactive, personalized approach to care, combined with a genuine passion for every animal's well-being. While many sitters offer basic feeding and walks, I focus on creating a stress-free and enriching environment that caters to each pet's individual needs. I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 years old. It began with our dogs and has expanded to cats, birds, horses, goats, pigs, etc. as my family purchased a farm. Hi. I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturday and Sundays. The times I am available are OPEN. Let me know what works for you. My experience with puppies allows me to seamlessly continue any ongoing house-training or basic obedience work, ensuring consistency during their critical developmental stage. I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, helping to reinforce good behaviors and prevent common puppy pitfalls like nipping or jumping. This means your new furry family member won't miss a beat in their learning while you're away. Furthermore, my dedication to senior pet care is a significant differentiator. I understand the unique requirements of older animals, from administering medications (excluding injections) to providing gentle exercise and recognizing subtle signs of discomfort. I'm patient and attentive, ensuring their comfort and maintaining their routine with the utmost sensitivity. I'm also comfortable with mobility assistance and can adapt to any specific health needs your senior pet may have. Beyond these specialized skills, I offer: Proactive Communication: You'll receive regular updates, photos, and videos, so you always feel connected to your pet and have complete peace of mind. I'm quick to communicate any concerns or observations. A Deep Understanding of Animal Behavior: My background has given me insight into reading pet body language, understanding their cues, and responding appropriately, which helps prevent issues and builds a stronger bond. Exceptional Reliability and Trustworthiness: I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring everything is secure and well-maintained. In essence, I don't just watch pets; I become a temporary, loving extension of your family, dedicated to their happiness, health, and continued well-being.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Elrod

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 119 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elrod. 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.

100% of sitters in Elrod 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 Elrod 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 Elrod.

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 Elrod 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.
