“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Lauren is amazing. She has a huge fenced in yard and took very good care of our pup. She sent pictures and check in with us every day. Best of all she was able to take her in last minute. I highly recommend her!”
“Evil and Fritz were terrific! They were very understanding of our dog’s behavior and needs. They sent photos and messages regularly. Ziggy looked so well cared for and content with them. I’m so glad we found such good caregivers.”
“Alice has done a great job taking care of my two pups. She was caring and provided us with timely updates, photos, and videos. My wife and I were able to enjoy our time knowing our pups were in good hands. Our dogs seemed happy going for walks and playtime with Alice. I highly recommend her — definitely five stars!”
“Vanessa is a real dog lover! She sent video updates each day so we could see how our dog was adjusting. She clearly cares deeply about each pet being comfortable. She's great!!”
“Osito loves Marilyn and her family. She is always willing to take osito and is so accommodating. We appreciate her kindness and generosity for taking such good care of our osito.”
“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“Emily and Will had the perfect setup for our Aussie — a house with two friendly pups and a spacious fenced-in yard. We appreciated that they keep their Rover pups to a maximum of two, so our girl got plenty of attention! They were also very communicative throughout the stay and sent plenty of cute pics. Also, also just really kind, friendly people! We’d definitely book them again.”
“Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!”
“If I could give Erin and Dave (Lani too) a hundred gold stars I definitely would. They are the greatest! I felt so comfortable knowing my Charlie and Annie was well taken care of. I received photos and/or videos every day during their stay with them. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They have a very welcoming home and the back yard is a dog's dream yard. I used to take our dogs to a boarding place, but never will again as long as Erin and Dave continue to open their home. Thank you both again! I know Charlie and Annie miss you and Lani.”
“We’re so grateful for the RCMs! Our usual dog sitter was unavailable. Harley came back happy, energized, and clearly loved. We’re very satisfied with the care he received.”
“Nova had a great time with Shawn and Charles! Their backyard was perfect for her to get out all of her energy with a chuck-it, and there were large windows to lazily gaze out while relaxing around. They went above and beyond for Nova’s water-dog tendencies by allowing her to splash in the bath after getting hot. She also came home with some homemade treats! 🥰”
“Argus took care of Zoey when we were out on vacation. He did a good job sticking with Zoeys feeding schedule and also provided extra attention to feed her medication”
“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!”
“So grateful for Giancarlo's excellent care! Our pup does not do well with boarding facilities, but Giancarlo kept him happy and health for over a week. We appreciate Giancarlo's flexibility and frequent updates. We look forward to booking with him again!”
“Would love to have Amy watch my dog again! She is reliable, responsive, and accommodating. My dog is shy and she made sure to make her comfortable even with a group of other dogs. She also has a great yard for play time. 10/10 recommend Amy!”
“Kelly is amazing! My dog Archie loved staying with her for a long weekend. Very easy to communicate with, sends frequent pictures and updates, handled multiple medications without any issues, lots of walks, and much more. She took Archie with her places as well, which was sweet. Would absolutely recommend and plan for Archie to stay here again”

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 $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,296 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.
96% 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.
