“Andrea was a God-send to us! We found her last minute before our annual vacation. My daughter and I knew when we met her she was a good person and very knowledgeable. Our Dolly is 5 months old and has had little to no socializing with other dogs. Andrea had no concerns and was open to the challenge! Dolly had trouble adjusting to a new place without her but Andrea brought her through each issue. She also sent us updates daily with pictures! Andrea is 5 star in every way. I would absolutely use her service again and would recommend her to others!”
“Isabel was so thoughtful, kind and wonderful with our senior pup. She sent us pictures daily and gave us regular updates. I felt as if she loved our dog as her own. We would highly recommend Isabel! 🫶🏻”
“Kelly was fabulous with my two doodles. I had never left them with somebody before and because my oldest dog has sight issues I was very nervous, but Kelly put me at ease immediately. Every day she would send me photos or videos with a little snippet about how things were going. I looked forward to seeing the photos and I could tell that they were having fun running around her yard. It is obvious that Kelly loves dogs and I will definitely use her again.”
“Laura and her family were wonderful and treated my dogs like her own. The dogs came home very tired because they had so much fun. Laura sent alot of pictures and kept us updated on the dogs. I am so glad we found her. Our dogs will definitely be going back to Laura’s house. I will tell anyone that asks about dog sitting about Laura.”
“Bo is a 16-year-old dog who has anxiety and doesn’t really like change so I was very nervous to leave him for five days. Carlita was so patient with Bo. She also helped ease my worry by sending daily updates with pictures/video! The first and last time we boarded Bo at a facility he looked depressed in the cameras; with Carlita he looked happy and was smiling!! I will certainly be reaching out to Carlita in the future! Thank you Carlita for taking such wonderful care of our Bo!!”
“Alexandria took amazing care of my 2 dogs! I got pics throughout each day, showing plenty of walks, playtime, and snacks. They are very content, like they just got home from a vacation for themselves. Will definitely book again!”
“10/10 experience. Tania was communicative and took great care of our pup. He came home happy and healthy after lots of good walks with her crew. Will definitely book again! Thank you, Tania!”
“Taylor was an excellent boarder for my dog! She is professional, reliable, responsible, and kind. She paid incredible attention to all of my care instructions, took the time to ensure my dog’s comfort and ease, communicated well and promptly, and she kept me updated with photos and cute anecdotes. Taylor’s home is also well kept and very tidy. I would not hesitate to book with her again and I would recommend Taylor’s services without hesitation.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Kordula and her family! She was very flexible with our changing travel plans due to weather and sent daily photos and updates. Thank you!”
“Joanne helped board my dog last minute when me and my family had to go out of town during a very unexpected, difficult time. She was kind and caring and put my nerves at ease. My dog had tons of fun in her huge backyard and played well with her friendly pups. I would recommend Joanne to anyone and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Joanne <3”
“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!”
“Deanna did an incredible job with Clementine who can be a little bit shy because of her history before we rescued her. Looking forward to her having another stay with Deanna when we travel again.”
“Martine and Ronald are WONDERFUL hosts for our Frenchie Tucker - he had such a great time he didn’t want to come home! It was so nice to feel at ease knowing our boy was in great hands.”
“Xiaoyu was incredibly caring and loving with my kitties. One of them is very shy and skittish and only lets me touch her — not even my husband can. To my surprise, Foxy ended up letting Xiaoyu pet her and even slept in their bed . That says everything. Xiaoyu was very responsive, kept me updated the whole time, and sent pictures regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed all instructions carefully and treated my cats like her own. I am very grateful ♥️”
“She is very good with updating me about my dog. I can tell that Yanke genuinely cares for the pets left under her care. 100% will rebook her for future.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we started with a great sitter. We had a lovely experience with Luis. Josie was well taken care of and appeared to enjoy her time in his care. He kept us updated with text and pictures. Also, Josie is a picky eater, but Luis was persistent in following my instructions on how to get her to eat. She was walked twice a day and had a great time playing with a puppy that was also in Luis' care. I will use him again in the future and plan to recommend him to others.”
“Vanessa is responsive, caring and diligent about your pet’s needs. She is terrific and I feel very comfortable leaving our 4 year old Cavachon with her knowing he will get good walks and plenty of love.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany! I received multiple pictures and videos throughout the week, and my dog seemed thoroughly happy the entire time. Will definitely book with Brittany again!”

Gina was wonderful! Rory had such a good time staying with her. Lots of snacks and walks. It was really hot the week she was there, and Gina did a great job making sure she was comfortable and not over-exerting herself on their walks. Very thankful for all the cute photos and updates throughout the week as well. I'll 100% be reaching out in the future to get Gina to watch Rory again!
This is the second time Ane has watched our dog, Charlie, and we honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else. Charlie absolutely loves her, and it’s clear that he feels safe and comfortable in her care. We always have peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Ane also sends regular updates, photos, and videos, which we truly appreciate. It makes being away from Charlie so much easier. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Eda was great! Our dogs can be anxious and high energy at times and she did so well with both of them! She texted everyday with updates and pictures so I always knew how they were doing. She has an awesome fenced yard that my dogs could run, sniff, and play in. Would definitely recommend and use her again!
Alexandria was fantastic! I got consistent updates and photos letting me know how Ripley was doing. Even with the crazy heat wave, she made sure that my pet had plenty of time outside in the morning/evening and had lots of water! She is super dedicated and trustworthy.
George took such great care of our dog, Lola, during a 3 week boarding stay. This was the longest we’ve ever been away from her, so we were nervous at first, but George made us feel at ease from day one. He consistently sent thoughtful updates with lots of photos and videos, along with detailed messages that helped us feel connected to Lola while we were away. He was proactive about asking questions instead of making assumptions, which showed how much he genuinely cared about doing things the right way. When an unexpected situation arose, George handled it with incredible calm, responsibility, and professionalism. He was proactive and immediately kept us informed every step of the way, followed our vet’s care instructions carefully, rearranged his evening, stayed up late to make sure Lola was comfortable, and truly went above and beyond to care for her. We couldn’t have asked for someone more attentive or dedicated during a stressful situation. It’s clear that George genuinely loves the dogs he cares for and treats them like his own. We are so grateful for the time, effort, and compassion he showed Lola, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. We highly recommend George to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly invested in their pet’s wellbeing.
Lori was absolutely awesome! We left our dog Jack with her for the first time for 14 days and he did great! He came back to us happy and healthy! Lori sent us pictures and updates every day. She followed all our directions and kept him comfortable and safe. We definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you Lori!
Que is amazing. My Jäger is large, high energy, smart, and a bit of a drama king. She was able to meet Jäger at his level (with what he's willing to do) and modify. He spent over a week with her and loved his time. She constantly sent me pictures. He even came back better behaved! We've definitely found Jäger's home away from home.
Amanda made the entire boarding process effortless and convenient for our family. We appreciated the option to have our dogs go to her house, in her environment, for a visit to see how they would acclimate to her space, which was open and inviting for our dogs. During the boarding, Amanda sent daily photo and text updates, which was so kind! We felt our dogs were well cared for and that their routines were maintained in our absence. We’re so grateful for Amanda’s excellent care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Garner on Rover is $42.8 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 1,964 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Garner. 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.
96% of Garner 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 Garner 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 Garner 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 Garner.
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 Garner 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.
