“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“David took excellent care of our lab. He was able to handle his high energy & is clearly an animal lover. He even has chickens that he takes care of. Truly great caretaker and huge backyard!”
“Katrin is so good with my anxious Wes. She’s super communicative with me, always sending pics & vids. She even added in an extra day of care when my flight got delayed.”
“Buckshot enjoyed his dog-cation at Marilyn's. I felt very confident that his stay with them would be like a doggie resort. I think Buckshot might have been reluctant to come home or he was too tuckered out from playing. They sent photos every day and I could see he was having a good time. I highly recommend this home away from home for other dog owners.”
“I would highly recommend Lauren! Our dog, Hershey, had a wonderful weekend with her. Her property is beautiful with plenty of space for active dogs to run around and explore. Hershey is a bit of a velcro dog when he is with us, and even from the pictures we could tell that he was very comfortable and happy being in her care. Lauren is very responsive and easy and flexible when it comes to dates. We have already booked Hershey's next stay! I would highly, highly recommend Lauren!”
“Vanessa was outstanding! Our boy literally laid down and did not want to leave. We got daily updates/pictures on walks and activity. So much better than a kennel.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Jade was the perfect dog sitter for my chihuahua. She sent many cute photos and frequent updates. Jade was very flexible and an excellent communicator. I would book her again and would recommend her to friends!”
“Awesome sitter! Definitely will book again in the future. Compared to most sitters, I could definitely tell from pictures of his stay that my pup was much happier with Miyu! She was able to provide him with the perfect amount of attention.”
“David did such a great job with my two pups! We couldn't have asked for anything better, honestly! As soon as we walked into the home with our dogs and they didn't bark, we knew there was something special about David and his ability to communicate with dogs. Our dogs were very calm and didn't have any anxiety as we left. David was very responsive when we texted him any questions or updates on the dogs, and would send us multiple updates each day, along with photos. We will definitely be using David again! ”
“Tracy is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very communicative and sent us lots of pics of our pup while we were away. Our dog, Charlie, settled in nicely at her place and seemed to have a great while he was there. We feel very fortunate that Tracy was able to keep Charlie over the Thanksgiving holiday, as our regular sitter was already booked. Now we have another option moving forward, as we would definitely book with Tracy again!”
“Emily and Will are so caring and wonderful! They took excellent care of Charlie and walked him around through the garage to go to the backyard since Charlie is not able to navigate stairs as easily as he used to. He was very content and happy when we picked him up.”
“Caroline was wonderful. She’s calm and seems very easy going. Our dogs are quite hyper but she dealt with them very gently. We appreciate her helping us, even when our one dog had last minute surgery so she had to administer meds. Definitely would recommend!”
“Alice was great with Dickens and sent me numerous photos and daily updates about Dickens while I was away. I would recommend her heartily to anyone who needs multi-day dog care.”
“Amber and her family are amazing! They welcomed Melo in as part of the fam for a whole week and he loved it. Their place is a great escape to roam around in nature and close to home. Also chickens… so plenty of entertainment and stimulation! lol”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! We had never before left Watson for this long and were anxious about it. But Lauren sent pictures and comments frequently and it was clear he was soon having a great time with her and Dito! We can't thank Lauren enough for her great care and thoughtfulness!”

As always, Ityona took excellent care of our dog! She welcomed her into her new home and made her feel comfortable there. She sent us pictures and updates all throughout the week. We are so lucky to have someone so caring and responsible to leave our sweet dog with when needed. Ash is looking forward to the next time she gets to stay with her :)
Melissa is amazing. She is super attentive to details, provides daily updates via pictures, and provides quality care. Melissa is friendly, helpful, and excellent with communication. We've been fortunate enough to have Melissa take care of our pet during multiple trips and have been more than pleased.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hillsborough on Rover is $46.62 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 1,300 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hillsborough. 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.
95% of Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough.
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 Hillsborough 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.
