“Bailey loved staying at Hannah's house!!! We were more than pleased with the experience. Hannah stayed in touch with us with pictures and kind words throughout the stay. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our schedule (my daughter was having a baby so we were on the baby's schedule, not our own!😊). She treated Bailey as she would her own dog. We would highly recommend Hannah and will definitely be using her services again in the future”
“Yamy & Alfonso the absolute best pet sitters! My precious Leo was super happy, loved, cared for daily. Communication was beyond excellent and I felt super happy and relieved on my trip. Since I knew my baby Leo was in great hands. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”
“Emily watched our dog for a couple of days and sent us lots of updates and pictures. Pepper was very happy to play with Ethel all weekend! Will definitely book with Emily again.”
“Cole had an amazing time with Mary & Jonathan during his 2 week stay at their place. We felt so comfortable with them taking the best care of him while we were out of the country. They sent frequent updates, followed his semi-complicated routine, and made him feel at home!”
“Dianne is amazing and just the best when it comes to help taking care of our Toy poodle! She is very attentive and cares for our dog just like it is hers. She makes sure to share daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of comfort and confidence that our dog was in great hands. Thank you Dianne!”
“Molly did wonderful! So happy for her to be available for a last minute cancellation from someone else for a week long trip - the day before! She was accommodating for drop off and pickup. Sent plenty of pictures and updates. Overall wonderful experience. Thank you again!”
“Michael was a fantastic sitter for our little guy. We received photos and constant updates throughout our time away. We will absolutely be using Michael again in the future, he's truly one of the good ones.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alexis! She was a joy to communicate with, always accommodating and providing regular updates on Oakley. We were so touched by her kindness and the genuine care she showed Oakley, making sure he was completely comfortable. Alexis is an exceptional pet sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Sharon is very caring with the dogs she looks after and our little guy (who typically doesn't like anything outside his routine), was so happy staying with her again. Sharon keeps us updated multiple times a day and sends a lot of pictures which puts our minds at ease while we travel. We know that our dog is in the best of hands. Thank you!”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Jack had a great stay with Melanie and Aaron! He got plenty of exercise, pampering, and attention, and Melanie and Aaron were very friendly, communicative, and gave us regular updates during his stay. We’ll certainly reach out to them again next time we need a sitter!”
“Both Bicky and her partner were so welcoming and energetic, they maintained their place so clean and have a huge fenced backyard, which is really good for dogs to run and play fetch. They treated Simba as their own dog. They took care of him really well, we received updates with photos during his stay. Simba came back home so happy, doesn’t seem like he missed us or home at all.”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
“Bella is an energetic loving puppy that loves spending time with Gena. She takes her on plenty of walks and does an amazing job with her! I highly recommend leaving your pet with her.”
“Suzanne and her family are ideal Rover sitters--so welcoming, caring, and communicative. We received frequent updates and pictures of our dog while we were away, and were thankful to have found such a kind and responsible family to care for Roux while we traveled. We plan to book with Suzanne again!”
“Kelli and her family were great for my almost 11 yr old pupper. She was very communicative and sent pics throughout the time. Was very happy with the entire process. Was able to plan a pre visit meet and greet, and she seemed to have spoiled him a bit, which i appreciate it greatly! Will def contact Kelli again in the future! Thanks again!”
“This was my first time using Evan and Katie, and they were absolutely fabulous with Pax! They were able to take care of him for four nights on pretty short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I received updates throughout each day along with multiple pictures of their activities, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was very clear from the photos that Pax wasn’t just comfortable with them, he was genuinely having a great time. I’m so grateful for how well they took care of him and will absolutely be booking with Evan and Katie again!”
“Stacey was wonderful with our dog! She watched her for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. Stacey kept us updated at least once a day and sent lots of pictures of them enjoying different activities together. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. We really appreciated the communication and care she provided, and we would definitely use Stacey again!”
“Johanna and David were amazing. Both of our dogs came home extremely happy! They sent us daily pictures and videos while we were away. Their backyard was plenty big for the dogs to get their energy out. The pool was a game changer for one of our dogs, who love to swim. We will most definitely be booking with them again.”

Jack had a great stay with Melanie and Aaron! He got plenty of exercise, pampering, and attention, and Melanie and Aaron were very friendly, communicative, and gave us regular updates during his stay. We’ll certainly reach out to them again next time we need a sitter!
Rianna was a fantastic sitter! The first night our pup was anxious and sick, but Rianna handled it like a champ and made sure she was taken care of. By the next morning our dog was having a great time playing in the backyard and got plenty of cuddles. Would definitely recommend Rianna to any pet parents!
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Garner is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $72 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,011 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Garner. About 92% of Garner sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
