“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
“Jamie was literally amazing! Zulu enjoyed her time THOROUGHLY! I got picture and text updates frequently on a daily basis and I think she even cut my dogs nails lol which if so was very thoughtful and highly appreciated! She came back a happy pup and also whined a little when Jamie left so we’ll definitely be returning clients! Love, Love, Loveee Jamie!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and adopted my own pup during Covid—the best decision I ever made! I love spending time with animals and regularly care for family and friends’ pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and will make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available 7 days a week and can accommodate most schedules. Whether it’s early walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m always flexible and reliable to meet your pet’s needs. I successfully trained my own dog and am very comfortable caring for pets at all stages, including those who use crates, are still potty training, or need extra patience and consistency. I understand that every animal has unique needs and will provide kind, attentive care tailored to their routine.
“Debora was wonderful! Kept us updated often with photos and videos. She took great care of our senior pup who is deaf and mostly blind. She was comfortable giving him his insulin which provided us much peace while away. Debora will be our first pick for sure if we need someone to care for our Bobby again.”
“First time my dogs stayed with Lipika and she was great! Communication was superb. One of my dogs was a little fussy about eating and she went above and beyond to make her more comfortable! Both pups came home happy and tired.”
“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!”
“Karen did an absolutely amazing job caring for Bucky! From the moment we met her, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and dependable she is. She treated Bucky like her own, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Her updates gave us complete peace of mind, and we could tell Bucky was relaxed and content in her care. It’s not easy to fully trust someone with your pet, but Karen exceeded every expectation. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and exceptional sitter.”
“Emilia's home was neat and had plenty of space for our dogs. Her dog Amora was very sweet and got along great with ours. She was communicative with lots of photos and updates. We will employ her in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: With me your dog will have lots of wags and a friend to keep him/her busy while you are away. My motto is a “tired puppy is a happy puppy”, and that’s what I bring to every pet experience - a calm approach, energetic play, a lazy nap, or a mixture of all of it depending on your pets needs. Almost 10 years experience dog-sitting has taught me to be aware & respectful of a dog’s boundaries with other animals, and aware of a dog’s need for rest and play to stay happy! Dog’s in my care at my home will have a fenced in yard & will be kept clean, safe, and busy. The best care for your pet is a familiar face, so I hope to build long-term pet-sitter confidence. I work from home & I only take small dogs who are friendly towards other dogs. No cats or children in my home. I currently work fully remote & have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood so I have regular breaks to play with your pet outside. I have a 12lb doxie who loves other small dogs. As an experienced dog owner & sitter, I always introduce dogs outside for the first meeting. I listen to your dog’s specific care needs & requests. I always communicate on how your pet is doing & can answer questions as they come up so you can be at ease knowing your pet is receiving the best care in my home.
“She is Amazing and will br our go to sitter when she is available to do so we received pictures and videos daily and she spoiled Jazz so much we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home! Definitely a great experience..”
About: This isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I find joy in every walk, cuddle, and tail wag, and that passion shows in the way I care for each dog. I’m currently a college student who enjoys pet care is part of my everyday routine. I make time for walks, feeding, and play to keep pets happy and comfortable. - Caring for pets in clients home, I will follow the pet’s normal routine with feeding, walks, play, and potty breaks to keep them comfortable in their own space. - Caring for pets in my home, I will provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. - Caring for pets during drop in visit, I will make sure they feel safe and trusted by me :) but I’ll also make sure to provide fresh food and water, clean up when needed, and spend quality time playing or giving them attention so they don’t feel alone.
“Carol was a great sitter! I love that Winston had another friend to play with, who also happens to be named Winston :) She sent pictures and updates, which put me at ease while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her to others looking for a sitter!”
“I would definitely rebook with Ms. Jerl!!We had great communication while Lucky was in her care. I really enjoyed my vacation knowing Lucky was in great hands!! Thank you for giving Lucky so much love while she was with you💕”
“This by far has been the best experience for boarding , Peta is very professional. She accommodated around our times for pickup and drop off and was top notch with status updates. I will continue to use her services in the future. Thank you again Peta for the wonderful experience!!!!”
“Erika was absolutely wonderful! She was easy to work with, communicated great throughout Gracie’s stay, and provided frequent updates that gave me peace of mind. It was clear Gracie was well cared for and comfortable. I would gladly have Gracie stay with Erika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

Thank you Brittany for taking such good care of Teddy! It was such a massive difference leaving him in a home environment vs boarding. Teddy was not himself for a couple of days after getting him back from a boarding facility. Whereas with Brittany he came back happy and his old lovable nutty self. Brittany kept me up to date with how Teddy was doing. Sent me pictures and videos. We got back earlier than I anticipated with our drive, and Brittany was flexible with the pickup time. In the future if we have a possibility of traveling again, I will definitely be booking with Brittany. I'm so happy I found a place I felt comfortable leaving him at as soon as we met.
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!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Kannapolis is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 per night.

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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
