“Lauren was terrific! She instantly put my somewhat anxious Basset Hound at ease when we did the meet and greet - and her backyard is simply a paradise for someone like Fern. Lauren kept me updated throughout Fern's stay, and she also asked me questions about Fern that let me know she is experienced and cares about the animals. Fern didn't seem to be very eager to leave. We will definitely visit with Lauren again if she will have us!”
“Alice consistently takes great care of my dog. She sends fun pictures and videos, handles any health concerns that come up, and she even took him to the dog park so that he could play. I am very grateful when Alice is available to take care of my dog.”
“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.”
“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!”
“First time Rover user and Vanessa was really flexible, which I appreciated. We did a test run for doggy day care for our 2 pups. Went well and the puppies wanted to stay longer! Would def drop our doggies off again.”
“Cathy was a wonderful sitter! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates and pics, and genuinely connected with our pup. We felt so good knowing our dog was in great hands. Would absolutely book with Cathy again!”
“Marilyn was very accommodating to our dog who has seizures. She went above and beyond for him. Our fur baby had a lot of fun and we felt very secure leaving him with Marilyn so we could have a restful vacation of not worrying. I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby. They will have a blast with pup cups and plenty of furry friends to play with. She kept us informed with a lot of photos and updates. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
“We are so incredible happy to have found Emily & Will to dog-sit our Ella!!!! We asked them to take care of our little Chihuahua twice in the last 5 month because we had to go to the Netherlands. Both times Ella stayed over for several weeks, even more then a month the last time and we couldn't have be more relaxed because of the loving care they give all the dogs they take care of. Ella really became one of the pack in their loving home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. No doubt at all that we will ask you again the next times we need a dog sitter for Ella!”
“My dogs had a great time at Bryan’s. Plenty of room to run around in the fenced yard. His own dog is quite chill and good companion for them too. Bryan was easy to contact through the app and provided updates and photos too.”
“Erin and her hubby are amazing! They took such good care of my pup, sent daily pics and vids, and even administered her meds. My baby girl had a great time on her “vacation” and got along well with Lani. I would definitely recommend them and will certainly be using them again! Thanks so much, Erin!”
“David was great! Definitely recommend. Dropped my pup off for the weekend (1st time leaving w/someone else) & really felt reassured & comfortable with him watching. Appreciated & definitely will be using & referring when he's available.”
“Our second time booking with Emily and her care was nothing short of amazing! She sent us daily photos and videos of my high energy beagle having a great time with the other pups. 10/10!”
“This is our first time being away from our dogs and we were anxious to leave them in someone else's care, but we're so glad that we found Heather! She treated them as if they were her own and we could tell that the dogs had a wonderful time with her and her husband. We got to fully enjoy our trip because we knew that the dogs were taken care of and that they were also having fun. We'll definitely seek her out again in the future for our next trip. Highly recommend to other dog parents! 11/10 :D”
“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!”
“Kelly watched my Jackson for 2 weeks and I could tell he felt like he was basically at home while we were away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and when it was time to pick him up, I caught him just trotting away like he was the boss of the house! I will use Kelly anytime she is available and I have to go out of town!”
“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!”

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hillsborough
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.
