“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Hanna! He enjoyed playing with her two dogs, and judging by the pictures we received, he loved getting attention from Hanna's little girls! He came home happy and tired from a great weekend!”
“Kelly was amazing! We reached out last minute to see if she could watch Hamilton, and she didn’t hesitate for a second. She took such great care of him and treated him like one of her own. She was quick to respond, communicative, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Chantel was so great with Pippi! She took her on several walks and made sure she was at ease and comfortable throughout her stay. She sent me videos and pictures every day, which was a great touch!”
“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Kona. We were away for 17 days and needed a loving family to taker her in rather than a kennel. Her previous reviews all lived up to their marks. Andrea is knowledgeable and attentive to dog personalities and was able to help our girl transition into a good routine with lots of love and exercise. Having our dog sleep in her own bed each night (with her blankie!) made it much easier to be away. I received pictures or text communication almost everyday. I couldn't have been happier and will definitely use Andrea's services again. I highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Brittany was an amazing sitter ! I’m so happy I booked her! My Dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay. Brittany was very communicative and very understanding and accommodating with my delay in arrival back to town. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Rianna was great with Jack! He seemed to really enjoy his time with her. I loved all the photos that she sent me everyday. I would definitely recommend Rianna to everyone. I will be calling her again for Jack.”
“I'm so happy I found Laura! She was amazing with my 2 dogs and sent pictures multiple times a day. I don't have to worry anymore about them when I go away as now they have a second home.”
“Mia was great. She boarded my cat Payton while I went on a family vacation for a week. I was very nervous leaving Payton and she made me feel comfortable and provided daily updates. She was very patient with Payton and me. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Kordula was great with our puppy it’s obvious she was well taken care of ! We enjoyed the daily update photos to know our baby girl was in good hands ! Highly recommend !!”
“Carlotta was great! I appreciated the daily pictures and updates. She responded quickly and took great care of my fur baby. Will definitely rebook her again! And Snow was great as well!”
“Joanne is incredible! I had to travel outside the country with no internet access. Even though it was my dog's first stay with her, I was completely at ease. She reads dogs very well and knows how to ensure that all of the furry guests are safe and happy. Such wonderful pictures and emails awaited our return along with a happy dog!!!”
“Luis is the best! He was so gracious to pick Egypt up from the hotel location and scheduled the pick up with my mom. Egypt saw him and willingly scampered off to his car. He gave her lots of love attention and walks! Luis sent pictures every morning with comments on her day. We look forward to having Egypt stay with him for future dates!”
“I was a little nervous leaving my dogs for 2 weeks, but Vanessa reassured me with updates and pictures daily. My dogs were well taken care of and I will definitely book again!”
“Yaryna provided excellent and loving care for my dog! My dog is older and requires a bit of special care, but Yaryna handled all of his needs willingly and capably. Yaryna went above and beyond in communicating how he was doing and sharing pictures. I am sure that he was in the best of hands, and I am so grateful for the high level of care that she provided.”
“So happy Onyx stayed with this lovely family. Marissa was warm and inviting. She shared pictures of Onyx with us while he was there. I have no complaints and will definitely use them again! If they are available. ☺️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garner
Parris is fantastic! This was my first time using a pet sitter for my new puppy, and she exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly organized, very communicative, and sent a good bit of picture updates. She also had no problem administering my dog's medication. My puppy had a great time!
Luna and I had amazing vacations. I loved that Alexandria sent pictires and videos of Luna’s time at het home. Luna made new friends and found a new bestie. I was apprehensive about sending Luna away to someone’s home, but knew I didn’t want her to go to a typical boarding facility. I’m so happy that Alexandria popped up in our search. Luna had the best time (I can tell by the photos and her exhaustion when we got home). I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that she was well cared for. 10/10 Recommend 🤩
Tammy was absolutely wonderful with our puppy. She was caring, communicative, and so easy to work with. I especially appreciated her flexibility when our flight was delayed and she was willing to meet us late for pickup. That meant so much after a long and stressful travel day. I felt completely at ease knowing our 7 month old chihuahua was in such good hands, and I would absolutely book with her again!
Hector was great! He watched our dog very last minute when we had to go out of town. He was very responsive and spent pictures of our dog. I could tell our dog was comfortable with him and even struggled to leave a little bit at the end! He even administered medicines to our dog that has bad anxiety. Definitely would book again. Thank you!
Daisy had a great time with Nikki and Bear! Nikki communicated with us while we were away and made sure Daisy had lots of opportunities to play. She's very friendly and helps to make your dog feel welcome in her home. We would definitely utilize Nikki's services again for Daisy!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Garner on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,966 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.
