“So happy to have found Andrea to take care of Vernie for an overnight! She was so kind and understanding of his puppy energy. He is thoroughly exhausted from all the play! Happy to know we have someone we can trust when we head out of town!”
“As always Ziggy received superior care and lots of love! Many thanks to Ashley and Olivia for allowing Ziggy to be part of their family. He can’t wait till next time🩵”
“Holly was amazing! She arranged a meet and greet prior to my booking with her and she sent pictures often while I was away. I knew that my dog was well taken care of and that he enjoyed his time there! I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: Your pup will become part of the fam when they’re with us! I grew up with three dogs and two cats in my home at all times. Now I own a sweet little Yorkie, Athena, who is my best friend. :) I taught her how to sit, lay, jump through a hoop and give high fives! She loves other dogs and people and is always ready to put in her dress harness and go! She doesn’t even care where. Im actually a realtor who mostly works from home! :) Fall and winter are slower months for me and other than the occasional walk in the parks, I’m usually home haha I have a gate that prevents them from going upstairs and an adjustable size crate with a bed for when it’s time to wind down. Frequent walks around the neighborhood. Very safe and friendly neighborhood.
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Maribel was amazing and made our first experience using Rover such a great one. She took the time to set up a meet and greet ahead of the stay so we could see how our dog, Dutch, would get along with her and her dog before booking, which we really appreciated. While we were away, she sent regular updates and photos, which made us feel so much more comfortable knowing Dutch was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and would absolutely book with Maribel again.”
“Morgan did a great job with Theo and I was happy that she was available to watch him again while I was away! I know he had a great time with the fenced in yard and spending time with her kids and family. She is flexible with drop off and pick up which is very helpful!”
“I’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“Jared is professional and accommodating. My active pup seems to enjoy his time with Jared. We’ve become repeat clients and I’ll definitely utilize Jared again as well as recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter to treat their pet like family.”
“This is the first time boarding our pups with Jane and we could not have asked for a better experience. She provided the best care in such a calming manner every picture she sent of our pups showed them happy and calm. She gave individualized care and would update date us regularly. If there were any issues such as Lucy would not eat the first night Jane always discussed with us. We are definitely going to board again in December!”
“Natalie was fantastic! Jasper, our 12+ year old Westy , stayed with her for 12 days. She took great care of him ; attending to a problem with his joint issues and was up and down several nights being homesick!! One night she even took him out @230am when he was wining and homesick. With being several thousand miles away she eased our anxiety so we could enjoy our trip!!! Thanks to Natalie , her family and her own Kinley and Regan he truly had a “home away from home”!!! We’ll definitely choose Natalie again!!!”
“Shelly is/was a life saver! My plans changed several times and in the chaos of it all I forgot to confirm the booking.... but Shelly was accommodating and helped put my mind at ease. My dogs are pretty easy going, however I do have one that has seizures sometimes. I felt completely confident in Shelly's ability to handle one if it happened. Keeping Kennedy (my dog) calm helps keep her from having seizures. Shelly's home is warm, calm and comfortable. It was a perfect stay! I will definitely be using her again.”
“Kacie was absolutely incredible with our dog Brodie! We were in town for our wedding at Bella Collina and she went above and beyond and you can tell she is just super caring of all the dogs she takes care of. We worked out an arrangement where she would bring our dog to our venue for our ceremony and it went sooo smooth! I would 100% recommend her, especially for any others who may be coming in out of town and might not get a meet and greet like we couldn't. Our only regret is that she didn't live closer, as she would definitely have become our go to sitter after this experience.”
“First off I want to say how grateful my husband & I are to have found Heather & her family!! We have always vacationed with our dogs with us. I was super nervous about boarding, not knowing how they would be treated, if they were cared for properly, & if they would get their belly rubs hourly. After the first day meeting Heather & her family, I knew they would be the "other family" to my pups!! Heather sent updates daily, along with pictures & texts of how things were going. Just these thoughtful gestures that she didnt have to do, eased my anxiety & mind tremendously. I dont have enough space on here, to put down the things she did for my pups. Heather you are awesome!!!! 5 stars for the care of my babies, all the way!!! We ARE definitely going to use her again, probably many, many times!!!”
“Hannah was so great with my senior dog, Maci! She sent me so many pictures throughout my trip. She let me know when my dog wasn’t feeling well and kept me up to date to keep my mind at ease. Would definitely ask her to keep Maci again and would highly recommend!”
“Our dog was very happy here! Great care, lots of attention — everything you would hope for when you entrust someone to care for your furry friend. Clear communication and regular photos. We'll be back!”
“We just moved to the area and needed a place for our dog to go while we were on a 10 day vacation. We found Catie and Luna had a wonderful time at her house! She loved playing with her dogs and the snuggles she got from Catie and her husband. We received lots of pictures of her while we were away. We will definitely be using Catie when we travel again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - King
Amy was amazing as always! Sadie gets so excited to stay with her and you can tell she’s comfortable and always enjoys her stay! She took her on lots of walks and gave her lots of cuddles for us. She always does a great job with Sadie even with all of Sadie’s weird quirks!
Kelsey and her sweet family were so kind to my elder dog for a long stay while my husband and I traveled out of the country. Our girl is a sweetheart, but has some anxiety issues. Kelsey's family and pets just absorbed her right into the "pack" and kindly sent updates and pictures. They kept her on her routine for food and medications, plenty of love and play, and a quiet spot for her bed when she needed to rest.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in King is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $60 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.

As of November 2026, there are 361 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across King. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in King 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 King 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 King.
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 King. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 King 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.
