“Susan and her family were great with Raven. Her girls played games with her and they all gave her a lot of love😍Susan sent lots of pictures and videos also. I would definitely use her again!”
“Bear seemed comfortable and happy with Richard and Alison and their two dogs. They were good about sending updates and photos too to let me know how he was doing.”
“Sarah and Erik were wonderful! Our lab Smoky stayed with them for several days and no doubt had a great time. They have a very safe and welcoming space and a great yard for larger dogs who love to play, and their sweet pup Rosie is just the icing on the cake! Would definitely recommend 😊”
“Our experience with Katie was great! She was very fast to reply to the booking request and texts, and she took great care of our dog Lily. We were visiting the area from out of town and couldn’t be more pleased!”
“Jessica was a great fit for my dog! She took her hiking, sent me pictures, and gave her lots of love! Jessica was flexible and great to work with. I recommend her and will use her again if I’m in the area!”
“Deborah was amazing! This was the first time we had left our dog overnight for more than 2 nights with someone he did not know. He had a great time. Deborah communicated with us and ensured he was fine - and he was. Thanks so much!!!”
“I can't say enough positive things about my and my pup's experience with Brad. 1. Booking/Communication - From the initial booking, Brad was communicative and responsive ensuring that I would feel comfortable even before I dropped my pup off. 2. Drop off - At drop-off, Brad was extremely attentive to understand the unique needs of my pup especially as it pertained to his medication. In my moving around, I forgot to bring something my pup needed. Brad was extremely helpful in getting it resolved so that my pup's stay would be just fine. Additionally, Brad went out of his way to ask how, and what frequency, I wanted to be updated on my pup's stay. 3. Stay - My pup had a fantastic time staying with Brad and having pup siblings at Brad's house. I'm confident of this not only because, true to his word, Brad was not only communicative about what was going on each day (for the entire ~3wk stay), but he also sent pictures and videos with funny notes! I could see that my dog was active not only outside but inside the home, was playing well with the other dogs, and was being loved and snuggled daily. 4. Pick-up - The day of pick-up, my flight was delayed impacting my ability to pick-up my pup on time. Brad was completely understanding and was communicative to ensure that I had no worries. When I arrived to pick up my pup, all of the things I sent with my pup came home in great condition AND Brad sent me home with a treat that he had graciously been giving my pup as well! I could tell my pup was excited to go home but was sad to leave Brad and his new friends! Overall, we will DEFINITELY use Brad again and recommend him to anyone that is looking for someone to treat their pup like family when they have to go away. Thanks again, Brad!”
“I HIGHLY recommend! Ron was so awesome. He's got a great big back yard that our dog loved. He was super responsive to both my fiancé and myself while we were gone. He sent pictures and our dog looked like he was having a blast. We won't be going with anybody else from now on! Thanks Ron, we appreciate you - Jeff”
“Jamie and her family are really great to work with. They treat our dog as their own and go out of their way to send pics and reassurances that our pup is doing well. So happy to have them close!”
“Our darling Roo had another great visit with her favorite sitter, Nancy! We are so grateful to have found Nancy, as she provides us with excellent peace of mind when we are away. We can vacation much more comfortably knowing that Roo is enjoying all the same love, time, attention, and snuggles she would get at home with us. Thank you Nancy for always taking such great care of our girl!”
“We love Kim! She gives our crazy beagle boy, Rudy, lots of love and attention. Always willing to work with us on bookings and is very quick to respond. Thank you, Kim!”
“Monique was awesome! Very responsive and sent regular updates. Our pup had a great time with her and her puppy Behr, hank came home happy and tired! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience for our Goldie, Tracker! From the moment he arrived, he felt right at home with Amanda and her family. He absolutely loved spending time in their large, shaded backyard, and we were convinced he was enjoying a vacation of his own while we were away. Amanda kept us completely at ease, knowing that Tracker was safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. In fact, our only concern was that he might not want to come home! 😊 Amanda’s boys were incredibly sweet with Tracker and even surprised him with a Cookie Monster plush toy, which has quickly become one of his favorites. Their kindness and genuine affection for dogs truly made this stay special. We are so grateful for the wonderful care Tracker received and will absolutely be booking with Amanda again. Highly recommended!”
“Vita was a great sitter! She communicated with me the whole time and constantly sent video and picture updates. Also my dog is a senior dog that takes several medicines twice a day, and she administered them properly with no problem.”
“Isabella is an amazing sitter we love having her watch our doodle Mr.bean! He loves going and always comes back happy! Isabella is great at communicating and always sends pictures!”
“Michael was such a great dog sitter. His house became my dog's home away from home and it was obvious from all of his communications that she was thrilled to be there. He communicated often and clearly, and was always open and honest. I highly recommend him!”

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 .

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 Iron Station 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 Iron Station 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 Iron Station 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 Iron Station.
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 Iron Station 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.
