“Camila and Lino took amazing care of our doodle pup for the weekend when we needed last minute help. They were very attentive to her needs and kept us informed with pictures and updates. Very positive experience and we recommend them with full confidence.”
“Even though my booking was so last minute, Bruna was able to accommodate me and my Koa. Bruna was responsive and kept in touch with me regarding Koa. I really felt at ease knowing my pup was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Bruna to anyone who would want their pet to be well taken care of!”
“Thank you for taking care of our sweet Finn! We appreciate your willingness to work with a puppy who is still being trained, and giving him all the love and snuggles!”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with Mavis! This was a stay of over a week, and I immediately felt at ease knowing Mavis was in good hands. Amber was willing to take Mavis even though it was her first time being away from me and she was still working through some anxiety as a recent rescue. Amber went above and beyond to make sure Mavis was happy, comfortable, and having fun—from trips to the dog park to letting her sleep on the bed with Amber and her two sweet dogs, Tootsie & Gilly. Mavis got along amazingly with both of them! Amber was also incredibly communicative, sending pictures every day and responding quickly to messages. I would absolutely recommend Amber (and Tootsie & Gilly!) and will definitely book with her again whenever Mavis needs a sitter. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! ❤️”
“Our pup had a great stay! We felt so comfortable with him being there, was obviously a loving home. Grateful for the help while we had to travel for a short trip. He came back to us so happy with the attention he got! Highly recommend ☺️”
“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her 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.”
“Lena was such a great host for Oakley! I really appreciated her opening up her home before our. boarding dates so Oakley could meet her and get a feel for the space. During boarding I appreciated the daily updates and photos as well! Lena was so kind, and respectful of my instructions for Oakley as well. I highly recommend her for your boarding or daily dog watching needs! Will be contacting her again when needed!”
“Amber and family were amazing sitters for Vesta. Vesta came back happy and amber sent many pictures to show the wonderful time she was having. They have a huge property and vesta loves being outside so our dog had the time of her life. I felt completely comfortable knowing that she was in good hands. Would highly recommend alAmber to watch your dog and I look forward to booking with them again.”
“Ann went above and BEYOND. She was communicative, considerate, and treated my pup like her own. He was happy and showed no signs of stress or boredom when I picked him up which is all you can hope for when leaving your pet for a few days! My flight was delayed causing me to pick him up an hour and a half later than our originally scheduled time and Ann was so understanding f and accommodating to the situation. Would absolutely rebook!”
“Moose was in very good hands with Hope. She provided pictures and a video to put me at ease. She helped him find a cozy spot for napping. I will definitely book with Hope again.”
“I’ve never boarded any of my dogs at someone’s home before so I was really anxious. Crystal had wonderful reviews so I left my 5 month old puppy with her for the weekend. It was a great experience. She is a kind and warm person. She sent pictures and video of Odie and responded quickly when I asked her how he was doing. He came home healthy and happy which makes me very happy.”
“Hadassah was an awesome sitter! She was warm and welcoming from the first interaction until the end of the stay. We felt very comfortable and knew Diva would be well taken care of while we were away. Her communication is top tier and she was very flexible. She updated me daily with greetings and photos. I would definitely use her again.”

Janel was absolutely amazing with Oso! She kept me updated throughout his stay and regularly checked in with me, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Oso was well cared for and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely trust her with Oso again! Highly recommend!
Lauren & Dita, her dog, are great ! She is very prompt with communication, experienced with dogs and very friendly! We did a pre meet to make sure the dogs got along fine. Huck had a blast hanging out with her and Dita for a couple of days & doing a long walk with them both. Her house is very dog friendly with fenced front and back yard. Highly recommend and will be using her again soon for either overnights or doggie daycare.
Srehita was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took amazing care of my baby while I was traveling; always updating, taking cute pics and saying kind things about her. She was flexible with drop off and pick up and was so sweet and helpful to me, being new to the area. I can’t wait to book with her again!
Dylan was so amazing with B.K.!! Upon meeting my dog got along with his dog, and Dylan was very welcoming allowing B.K. To settle in and answer all of my questions!! Unfortunately due to some flight delays we needed to make a few adjustments, and Dylan was beyond accommodating ensuring peace of mind in wonderful care for B.K. through that difficult time! Definitely book Dylan if you want a kind, caring pet sitter and an amazing doggie friend for your pet to hang out with during their stay! Thank you, Dylan!! Would definitely book again! Thank you!! 🌟
Camila & Lino are a lovely couple who are very much dedicated to caring for the animals they host. Our dog recently went blind and we sought out someone that would provide personalized care during our 6 night vacation. They met all of his special needs, communicated with us regularly and provided plenty of pictures so we could see how he was doing. We will definitely use them whenever needed going forward.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Joyland is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Joyland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Joyland 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 Joyland.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Joyland. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Joyland 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
