Top rated Garner pet boarders

“We loved our return stay! Lori takes such great care of our pups—whether it’s one night or several, we can truly relax knowing they’re in the best hands. Thank you for being so attentive, patient, and accommodating, even with all three of our goofballs this time!”


“Our dog Jazzy was very well taken care of! We loved the photos and updates and we appreciate how attentive you were to her tendencies and her personality. She definitely had a great time playing with the other dogs there as well. We will definitely recommend to others and come back!”


“Kristien + her family were so kind, welcoming and took such great care of our doodle! We are so grateful for her and she truly treated our doggo like one of her own.”


“As always, Joanne took excellent care of our dog. She sent many pictures of Hayley and notes on how Hayley was doing. Our dog loves being there. It was a vacation for her too.”


“Cory was great. He sent us pictures every day of our dog Tyson. He feed Tyson his food very important. Took him to the park and for walks. Tyson was a happy puppy when he got home to us. I recommend Cory 👍 100 💯 percent. We are going to hire him again in September thank you so much have a blessed day.”


“Buddy, my Westie, was well taken care of while we were gone for 10 days. He seemed as comfortable with Mary as we were when we had the Meet and Greet. Although we missed him we were not worried about his care. Would definitely use Mary again!”


“I highly recommend Dana. I've boarded my precious boy Poe several times for both short and long term (2 days to 1mo) stays. I've been very satisfied with Dana's communication and flexibility, and Poe is clearly happy and well taken care of by the whole family including his dog-friend Luna. It's a great relief to have someone I trust with his care when I'm away.”


“We wholeheartedly recommend Jerry. From start to finish his communication was top notch. He was very attentive to our dog’s needs and were particularly grateful for his proactive and supportive approach when our dog presented some behavioral challenges. Thank you, Jerry!”


“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”


“Kordula was great super nice and so attentive to my puppy. She cared for my pup like I would have. I got pictures and update daily. Bella loved her and her new doggie friend June. We already are planning our next trip now with confidence that baby Bella will be taken well care of by Kordula.”


“Luis has been great with Winnie. She has had 3 accidents in our 2 trips with him and he was very patient and understanding with her and with us. Highly recommend! His Dog Elvis is also a team player and great with other dogs.”


“This was our 1st time leaving our baby with someone other then family. We didn’t wanna put him in a boarding place. I got a suggestion to check out Rover. After reading through tons of profiles Janene’s place seemed like a perfect fit for what we were looking for. And boy was I right we found the perfect sitter for our dog Jax. Janene & Amy sent us tons of pictures and videos, and gave daily updates on how he was doing. Jax fit in so well and he loved to run and play with their two dogs Ozzy and Karat. Jax was in very good hands for the 11 days we were away. They were also very flexible with what time we dropped him off and accommodated an early morning pick up as we couldn’t wait to see our boy. If you are looking for a loving, caring, dependable sitter look no further as they were AMAZING!! We have found our new dog sitter and will continue to use them whenever we are in need. 5 stars all the way!!!!”


“We just rescued our dog and needed to leave him after only a week to go on a trip we had planned. Ahmal got back to us right away. He was patient with our dog, sent us pictures, videos and updates that put the whole family at ease. Our dog definitely was happy and comfortable with him. We will definitely be using Ahmal again and recommend him to others. Thank you for letting us enjoy our trip without having to worry about our loved one!”


“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”


“Kristal was amazing! Her and her family took amazing care of my dog Benny and she kept me constantly updated with pictures and statuses. I would absolutely recommend her for boarding/walking/all services 😊”



“Karisa is absolutely amazing! If you are looking for someone to watch your pup, do not hesitate to book her! We were in Raleigh for a military ball and at the last minute (1 hour before needing to be at the event) was told our hotel did not accept pets. I contacted Karisa and she responded immediately! She has a great, clean, home and was so kind to my pup! Thank you again Karisa! Next time we are in the area we will definitely rebook!”


“Austin and Morgan saved our weekend trip and took the best care of Kip. We reached out to them last minute (forgot to book our regular sitter) and were so relieved with their quick response time and willingness to be flexible. I’m always a little nervous for Kip to stay with anyone new but we could tell from the pictures and updates (many throughout the day!) that he was happy and well cared for. Austin and Morgan were initially a last minute fix for us but will be added to our regular rotation of sitters for Kip. We could not recommend them more!”

“Tracy and her mom took great care of my very energetic lab! He played a lot in her backyard, which Tracy sent me many pictures of and was given a bath prior to the last day since he got muddy from the rain. Will definitely book with Tracy again!”


“Stephanie and Mike were amazing with Maggie and she was so happy with them! We got photos every day and that was so great seeing she was so well cared for! Will definitely use them again!!”


“We had such a wonderful experience with Eda. I was worried about having someone else watch my dog, but she made him feel right at home! She was very friendly and provided a lot of updates that included videos and pictures. I am very happy with the experience overall and would hire Eda to watch my dog again if needed in the future.”
