“Aimee took really great care of our dog, kept her busy with walks and outside time, and gave her everything she needed! And she sent lots of pictures to us! Neela loved staying with Aimee and we will definitely book her again!”
“My family and I were preparing to head out of town for my birthday when we realized, in the middle of all the planning, that we had forgotten to schedule a sitter for Oakley. Like any dog mom would, I immediately went to Rover and was pleasantly surprised to see several sitters available. I reached out to a few profiles, and Rebecca D. responded right away, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Rebecca was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We quickly coordinated a plan for dropping Oakley off, and the process was seamless. When we arrived, Rebecca was already outside waiting for us and gave clear instructions on where to park. She even invited us inside, which we politely declined, but I thought it was such a thoughtful gesture. Prior to our arrival, she also shared information about her dog’s temperament, which I really appreciated. Throughout the weekend, Rebecca kept us updated with photos and videos of Oakley, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. When we picked him up, he was excited to see us, but it was also obvious that he had a wonderful time with her. Oakley came home happy, and we are so thankful for the care Rebecca provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!”

“Our 2 pups loved staying at Jessica and Shayne’s! They really enjoyed running around their large backyard and playing with their 2 kiddos. They sent several updates and photos throughout the stay. We felt fully comfortable leaving our pups with them, knowing they were being cared for and loved on as their own. We will certainly rebook!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Hilary and Lucas provided for our dog, Sparta! He had an absolute blast during his stay and even made some new furry friends. It's clear they genuinely love what they do and treat every dog like their own. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We highly recommend their service to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their pup.”
“Sayaka was great with our dog Max! Max had a great time playing and came home tired from his visit! Sayaka was great at communicating with us. We got daily pictures and she did a great job identifying and informing us of a potential medical issue. We are very satisfied by the care Max received and attention to detail provided by Sayaka.”

“We absolutely love Kerri! She is friendly, communicative, and sends pictures of Maverick every day, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. What means the most to us is how comfortable and happy Maverick feels with her. He runs right to her when we drop him off, and seeing how excited he is to be with her tells us just how safe, loved, and at home he feels. He comes back completely exhausted, so we know he’s had the best time! Thank you, Kerri, for loving and caring for our boy while we’re gone just like we love him at home. We’re so grateful to have found someone Maverick loves and trusts so much!”

I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again!”

I could tell Jeovanna and her husband treated Henry like he was their own! This was his second stay at their house and he was excited the moment we pulled into their driveway. Jeovanna sends picture updates which I love and are much appreciated! I will definitely be using them again when I need someone to watch Henry.
Luke was so easy to work with and took great care of my dog. He required a meet and greet first with his own dog which helped put my mind at ease. He also sent text updates and pictures every day. He is very close to where I live so I absolutely will be using him again!
Herschel had such a wonderful stay with Adrienne and John! They are an awesome family. They are so responsive and professional and I left Hersh having 100% confidence he was being cared for and loved. We already have more boarding lined up as they give the best care!
Nadia did a wonderful job caring for my pup Scotty. He had some initial nerves staying with a new sitter, but she made sure he felt comfortable and he adjusted well. Nadia gave plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay. I’d confidently recommend her services to any friend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Knightdale is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $65 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 October 2026, there are 1,908 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Knightdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Knightdale 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 Knightdale 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 Knightdale.
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 Knightdale 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.
