“Thank you Lindsy, my baby Millie had a wonderful time with you and your family. She came home happy and tired from playing and napping all day. I appreciate your accommodation and kindness, we will be booking again for sure, probably today!”
“We are very thankful for Brittany and her willingness to keep our pup! She was very responsive and ensured I had regular updates and pics while we were on our trip. Look forward to booking with her in the future!”
“They were great very professional and reasonable. They also send pictures and videos and respond back very fast. Had a great experience with them my dog didn’t want to come back home.”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Dee's house of pets is a HAPPY house for our fur babies. My little luv bug Tuker (dog) had a great time playing with the other dogs she was sitting for. She sent us pictures that confirmed Tuker playing with them all. Tukers favorite playmate was a standard poodle. Tuker is a Havanese (18lbs :-). I will definitely use her again in the future. Tuker was just as happy when I picked him up as when I dropped him off. The only sad part was Tukers first day back with us, Tuker was looking all over the house for his new playmates. Thanks Dee.”
“Toni is fantastic. She went over and above to make sure that our senior dog had the best care - giving her meds and lots of extra snuggles. She provided lots of updates and photos throughout our time away. We highly recommend Toni!”
“Kashawna was kind, responsive, loving, and exactly what my four legged kid needed! Our baby is high maintenance with insulin twice a day, pain meds once a day, and snuggles all day. Kashawna and her family loved on her and took great care of her while I was on vacation. 10/10 recommend!”
“Mason and Christian were very accommodating, even when we needed to come back one day late. Hermione seemed to thrive in their care. We will use them again!”
“Angela was amazing. We had two of our family members and it was the puppy’s first time boarding. She was great with her and our older dog. We were very impressed and comfortable with her. She communicated very well. Thank you again Angela! 😉”
“Amy is a an amazing caretaker and pet lover! Her home is an awesome environment for my pup and anyone’s! She has several outdoor spaces. My dog loves to be in the sunshine and he can do that and get in the shade if he’s hot or be inside with her while she works at home. He’s been so loved in her care. Amy followed my follow up communication preference so perfectly. I had a very busy weekend so she sent me a couple updates and answered so quickly when I had time to reach out. Amy is the best and she is so affordable. Book her today! I will definitely be back.”
“Lauren and Jonathan were lovely! They took such great care of our puppy over the holiday and sent lots of picture updates. Edie seemed to have a vacation of her own with them! We would book them again in a heartbeat.”
“Wonderfully friendly and accommodating! My dog seemed to be very happy staying with this family while I was on vacation. I loved receiving all of the pictures daily and will definitely use Carrie again!”
“Our boys we exhausted from all the playing they did at your house. We used to say “let’s go see the baby & Emilee” we might change it to the “Fun house”, lol. Thank you for taking great care of them again!”
“Annie was amazing! I have a reactive dog and she was more than willing to accommodate her, she knew exactly what to do to make her feel comfortable. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Ashley was great! Chang looked like he was having a great time in his pictures that she sent to me. I’m very appreciative of her being comfortable with Chang being old and having several issues. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Our pupper had a great stay!! Gouda was a great fur buddy to play with. Marnie and Dave sent frequent updates and pictures which was much appreciated. Their backyard is very large and fenced in. Truly a haven for dogs. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks guys!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Forest City on Rover is $48.36 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 260 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Forest 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.
86% of Forest 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 Forest 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 Forest 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 Forest 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 Forest 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.
