“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!”
“Jazzy was in good hands! I highly recommend booking with Deanna. She is very thorough in going over everything and she answers questions quickly and sends plenty of photos. Would book again.”
“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.”
“Kelly was great with my anxious old pup. As soon as we arrived he jumped out and made himself at home. Her dogs were very welcoming to a guest. They had plenty of space to roam around and sniff in her fully fenced yard. Kelly has a relaxed demeanor which is very helpful for you and your dog when dropping them off for a trip.I felt confident in her care and would recommend Kelly to anyone.”
“Chantel did a great job taking care of Ginger! I really appreciated all the pictures, videos, and little anecdotes she sent throughout Ginger’s stay. It was so nice to see Ginger having such a great time playing with her new friends and enjoying her time there. I felt reassured knowing she was happy and well cared for!”
“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!”
“Sarah did a WONDERFUL job taking care of our sweet Mabel. It was our first time leaving her, so we had nerves. Sarah took great care of Mabel - lots of love and attention, keeping to her schedule, frequent updates, and loving her as if she was her own. Mabel is young, and Sarah was very patient with her as she adjusted to her new environment. I would recommend Sarah to anyone.”
“Luke was super with my girl! He did a great job with communication and providing updates periodically. I could tell she was in good hands when I dropped her off with Luke and she came home a happy girl! Would definitely use him again!”
“Jessica & Shayne are the absolute best! Loki stayed with them for a second time, and he was so excited to be back. He adores the kids, and they are the sweetest to him. For the first time ever when leaving him, Loki’s separation anxiety disappears. I can now travel worry free knowing he’s so well taken care of and well loved. Highly recommend them!!”
“Amazing!! Seriously so lucky we found Kelly to watch our German Shepard puppy! He was 7 months old, which can be a challenge to take on, but she was extremely communicative, accommodating, and put our mind at ease all week. Our puppy is a little timid around other dogs at first, and she did a wonderful job at getting him comfortable and making it a great experience for him. Would highly recommend her!”
“Jerry is amazing with Jack . I always know that Jack is treated like part of the family and well cared for . Jerry kept me updated with pictures and messages . My pup Jack was happy, relaxed, and had fun on his stay . Thank you Jerry!”
“Great experience with dog sitter. My pet was very well attended to and I could tell he enjoyed the time! I received multiple updates while I was away and knew my pet was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“We were very pleased w the entire experience. We, with our two dogs, met Evan in advance to make sure everyone was comfortable and at that point I knew we were in good hands. Our babies had so much fun running around on a farm Happily recommend Evan.”

She was so amazing and accommodating to all the zaniness of our girl!! We appreciated how loved we could tell she was while we were gone on our trip. It felt like she was getting treated like she gets treated at home with us!! Would totally have her sit again anytime!!
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 of Dog Boarding in Garner is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 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 of October 2026, there are 1,960 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 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.
95% of sitters in Garner 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 Garner home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
