“We had a fantastic experience with Brittany! They took such great care of our Cooke while we were away—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure all of our pup’s needs were met. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about animals and treated our dog like family. When we came to pick Cooke up he was so happy and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter!”
“This was our first boarding experience with Rachel and it went beautifully. Our dogs were well cared for and even received a doggy bath on pick up day. Communication was very efficient throughout the process, plus Rachel also gave me several tips on how to use the Rover app., making it even easier. We have already booked our two dogs to stay with her next month.”
“Jamie was extremely flexible with dates when watching our pup. We ended up changing our plans midway through our trip, and she accommodated those changes. It made all the difference in our vacation. She provides regular updates with pictures and also gives the pups ample time to play. We will definitely request her again when we are going out of town.”
“We left our dog with Bri for the first time for 5 days. She was accommodating and sent updates with pictures every day. Our dog did well with her and her dogs and family. I would happily use Bri again.”
“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service! Our Mozzie was so well cared for and had so much fun with her other pups I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home 😉 Thank you Kim for loving our boy while we were gone. He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“Dropped our two dogs (5 month old pitbull mutt) and (2 year old pug) off to stay with Sierra during our 4 day vacation! Sierra did a great job taking care of them making sure they were being played with, got plenty of activity, were well fed, and happy! As well as daily updates and a few nice pictures. Will book again ! Thank you Sierra !”
“Megan was great. Our mini schnauzer has a high level of separation anxiety. It was important that she not be left for hours everyday. Megan was excellent about sending updates. It was obvious our mini was well cared for. Will definitely use again.”
“Crystal was the best Rover sitter we have ever had! Her love for our dog was so evident and we appreciated the many updates and pictures! Her home was perfect for mini vacation for our dog! Thank you again! Highly recommended!!!”
“Ruth boarded my dog Jack for five days , she sent pictures every day which helped a lot. Jack fell in love as soon as he met her because he loves all the scratches and rubs. Enzo, Ruth's dog is a big loveable baby and Jack and Enzo got a long well. When I picked Jack up he was his happy healthy self.. No complaints from me and I just re-booked.”
“If I can give 10 stars I would! Miss Jerl was amazing! We are blessed to have found her. She took such great care of our baby girl. I would recommend her with my eyes closed. Excellent babysitter. I would bring my Lily to her anytime we need to be away.”
“Jacob did an awesome job taking care of Bella while I was away. His experience with service dogs is definitely a plus! Bella felt right at home with him as well as his 3 dogs. She will definitely be coming back again real soon!”
“Kathy is top notch! Bella obviously has a good time with her dog, Bruno, and her cat. Kathy is just as obviously an excellent caretaker. She's so cooperative when we need to rearrange times, or anything else to make things work. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Recently got a red lab puppy and had to go out of town. Leslie provided excellent care for the puppy and we are using her to watch Lucy, now 6 months old during our vacation this summer. Highly recommended”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Yelena exceeded our expectations immensely! From the first meeting until picking up our doggie, she was helpful, kind, and communicative. We appreciated the daily pictures and videos. She genuinely cares for other pups as if they were her own. We are very happy we found her and will definitely continue to use her. Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our Norman!”
“First time using Rover for our dog Luna. We were a bit skeptical to use this app but after going through reviews and finding Lyann she made it super comfortable with us. Having a meet and greet at the dog park went great and safe for us and our dogs to get to know each other. She answered any questions we had with concerns for our dog. Lyann communicated with us well during Luna’s stay. Sending us videos and photos every evening with updates. Provided toys, a crate, blankets, food bowls, water bowls etc was great because we didn’t have to carry anything but her favorite blanket and food. She also provided a GPS tracking collar for Luna which made us feel more comfortable having her there. After the stay, Lyann washed her blanket and gave Luna a complimentary bath before we took her home. Happy with her services she provided for us and our dog! My boyfriend and I are so pleased finding Lyann and will definitely rebook her again!”
“Nancy was wonderful! This was Link’s first time staying with her, and it was obvious from the start how comfortable he was. I think he would have happily stayed longer if he could! Nancy kept me updated with messages and pictures, and every time I heard from her, it looked like Link was having the time of his life. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and so well cared for. I highly recommend Nancy!”
About: We’ve both had dogs growing up, and we recently lost our elderly girl. We’re not ready for another full-time dog in the home, but we’d love to host yours and give them lots of love! Mondays and Fridays Mike works from home (and has the ability to work from home as needed if your baby needs a little more care) and Caroline is off work on Tuesdays and has the ability to come home at lunch other days of the week. We live on the first floor of an apartment, and we have close access to lots of green space and a dog park. Although we have a cat, we have barriers from dogs accessing her food and litter. We have lots of toys, food and water bowls, and a couch fit for even the largest of good boys and girls. We also have a screened in patio that everyone enjoys!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Kannapolis is $46
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kannapolis
We left our pups with Shelley for an extended stay and I felt like they were in good hands! I loved that she works from home so they were not left alone for long periods of time, and they had so much fun running around in her big fenced yard. She was very accommodating with their sleeping arrangements. Her dogs are much smaller and older than ours, but they were so chill and not bothered at all. Shelley sent pictures regularly and was very responsive. I would leave them with her again!
Bud-Bud's time with Brandon was absolutely amazing! Brandon was very communicative and sent tons of beautiful pictures! He took Bud-Bud on regular walks and always kept us in the loop. I would highly recommend Brandon and am excited to book Bud-Bud's stay with him again in the future.
I could tell Pip had a wonderful week with Chase and his dogs based on the smile he came out of the house with. Being able to have someone reliable who I know will take great care of my dog when we are away is so important for peace of mind and we found that with Chase.
Erica is absolutely wonderful! Our 5-month-old puppy stayed at Erica’s house for 5 days and had an amazing time. It was clear from the start that Erica genuinely loves dogs and has a lot of experience caring for them. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and patient, and she made us feel completely comfortable leaving our puppy in her care. Throughout the stay, Erica kept us updated and made sure our puppy was happy, active, and well cared for. Our puppy came back healthy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed the experience. We would absolutely trust Erica again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter!
Jasmine was the absolute best. I would totally recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter. I have never used a pet sitter before and Jasmine made me feel completely confident that my pup was going to be safe and comfortable with her. She provided photos to allow us to see how the puppy’s day was going and my puppy looked very happy and calm. I am glad that this site has brought me to her. I am very satisfied with the service I received. Great job Jasmine I truly appreciate you.
Kimberly was awesome! I was nervous at first, but her friendly and professional behavior put me at ease. She has a beautiful clean home that my dog settled in like it was hers. She has two fur babies of her own. I wasn't sure how my dog would take to them; however, Kimberly handled it beautifully. In the end they all became good friends. 😄 She sent text, photos and video to help put our minds at ease while we were out of town. She was very gracious when storms and fog delayed our arrival time. I will definitely bring my dog back to her.
Courtney watched our puppy on VERY short notice over the Thanksgiving holiday when our Airbnb got double booked and our plans wouldn’t allow us to bring our puppy. She was fantastic with him and has her whole house and yard setup to care for animals. Recommend 💯. Thank you, Courtney!!

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.
96% of sitters in Kannapolis 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 Kannapolis 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 Kannapolis.
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 Kannapolis. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Kannapolis 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.
