“Lisa went above and beyond when carrying for our pup! She kept us in the loop when he was having stomach issues and was patient with him as he adjusted to a new environment.”
“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!”
“Over all great! Took great care of my dog and updated me on her well being throughout the whole night! Even made her a scarf which was also so sweet! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!”
“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 ♥️”
“Lesley and her family took such amazing care of our dog, Banjo. Banjo was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt at home with them. She kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can really tell that she and her family genuinely love animals and treat them like part of their own family. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Cooper had a great Christmas with Brittany! He was cuddled and loved on and got plenty of time playing fetch. I got the cutest pictures every day and it made me feel so relieved knowing Cooper was safe an being loved!”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“We left our Buster for 9 days and could from the daily updates and photos that he was extremely happy to be there and was very well cared for. Will definitely send me him again! Kirsten and her family all treated him like a family member!”
“Ashley and the entire family took such great care of our fur baby. We had absolutely no worries. We received pictures and updates every day. I looked forward to receiving the latest update on our little princess at least two times a day. We are so glad we found such a loving family that truly cares for your pet as if they are theirs. We will definitely book with them again! Thanks again to the entire family from all of us💕!!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“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!”
“I’ll definitely use Yanke again! This was my first time using a dog sitter and my pup didnt even look back at me once after dropping him off. She kept me updated with pictures and even paid attention to when he needed his pain medicine and gave it to him. Love her!!”
“Julie always does an amazing job taking care of our Rosie when we are away. We always get great pictures of her and it makes our trips much better. I am boarding with them later this year as well for other trips and know Rosie is in good hands”
“Elise was amazing!!! Maddie was in great hands and I felt fully confident and satisfied with choosing her as my sitter! Definitely will be bringing Maddie back!”
“Julie was very professional and kept me updated on my dog and sent me photos of him consistently as well! She was very responsive and available to answer my questions and incredibly easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to someone else.”
“Absolutely fantastic! First person we ever boarded Miss Tinkerbell with - and she is amazing!! We got photos all the time and constant communication! We will definitely board with her again and our dog loves her and her kiddos! Recommend 100%”

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!

The average cost for Pet 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.

There are 2,018 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Garner. About 93% 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
