“Robert was great! My dogs were tired and happy when picked up. Robert sent updates with photos and confirmed meal times. I had some things pop up that made my drop off/pick up time different than originally planned and Robert was very accommodating and easy to coordinate with. I'll use Robert again next time I'm in the Wilmington/CB area!”


“Kate was super friendly and took great care of my pup. He came home happy, tired and not stressed at all. She sent me pics and updates daily. She really put my mind at ease. I would use her again 100%”

“Desi is AWESOME! So friendly, helpful and amazing to work with. She took care of Maverick while we took a vacation at Beech Mountain. Plus, when we picked him up she had him fresh and bathed! when we come back we know where our dogs will go! Thank you again!!”

“Took care of Lupe on a 14 day trip. Lupe is a little older and a wheaten terrier. Sometimes with an older dog and a little terrier in her, she could be a little quirky. But Taylor and his family accommodated Lupe very nicely and I am very grateful to have had their service and allowed their home for Lupe to stay as I had to travel for work.”

“Erin was a great sitter! She provided lots of updates and my cattle dog had lots of fun running around with her golden retriever in their huge fenced yard. Would definitely use Erin again in the future!”

“My dogs loved staying with Yueqian and her husband. They went on several walks per day and came back tired and happy. They will certainly be staying with her for future trips”

“Stephanie was fantastic!! Soooo communicative, flexible and sent photos of the pups everyday. They came back in such a better state of mind than when we have boarded them at traditional kennels. Will definitely be using her services again! 🐾”

“We are so happy to have found you, Maegan! Lola loves her stays with you and your family! She’s well loved & cared for and she really enjoys playing with your pups and receiving so much attention. We highly recommend your service! Thanks!!! 😊”


“Carey was wonderful with Jager! She was extremely responsive, friendly, and kept me well updated with photos throughout his stay. It was clear her whole family showered my fur baby with love. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“Rachel could not have been more caring. Oliver enjoy his time with Rachel and loved his playtime. She was so thoughtful to send pics and videos of her stay with Oliver.”

“Olivia was so good and so patient with Finn. He has A LOT of energy and is still a puppy but she made me feel comfortable and I knew he would be safe and looked after. Thank you!!”

“Sue-Ling was amazing with my pup. It was his first time ever being boarded away from me and she kept me updated on him and how he was doing. She was very attentive. I will be booking with her again!”

“I could not have picked a better couple to take care of my best friend! They were not only loving and playful with Parks, they truly cared about what I mentioned to be her wants and needs. I have only traveled without her a handful of times (3 times at 16 years old is not an exaggeration). Donna made her comfortable, safe and loved. She cared for her knowing being apart was difficult for both of us. I would definitely use them again. I am even thinking of day care a few times a week, since she liked the interaction with other dogs to play with as she had 2 labs and another chihuahua that all past over10 years ago. I never considered how lonely she might be, because she never leaves my side!”

“We love having Rupert stay with Andrew and his family! Andrew is fantastic with communication, takes Rupert on plenty of walks, socializes him with his adorable cat Poe, and gave him his daily medications! We feel so great knowing Rupert is with a wonderful caretaker when we go out of town! We have used Andrew as a sitter multiple times and will continue to do so!”

“Kim and her family are always so thoughtful and caring to our furbabies. She was provides updates and photos. We never worry while away because we know they are being taken care of. We will use Kim again. Thank you Kim.”

“We had a great experience with Lauren caring for our small dog. Very communicative, and our dog was the same at pickup as dropoff and our dog was exhausted which is usually a good sign that she enjoyed her stay.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. Growing up, our family always had dogs and cats, and as an adult, I’ve had the privilege of caring for two blind rescue dogs, as well as my current lovable 16-pound Aussiedoodle, Zoey. Zoey lives with me and gets along well with other dogs. For the past 2½ years, I’ve owned and operated a dog-walking and cat-care business, caring for a variety of neighborhood pets. My experience includes three 19-year-old cats, two medium and large Doodles, a Dachshund I’ve cared for since he was just 10 weeks old, and dogs of many different mixed breeds, ages, and personalities. My approach is to always let the animal lead. Both of my rescue dogs came from very difficult circumstances, and I learned how important patience, trust, and a sense of safety are. Rather than expecting an animal to immediately feel comfortable with me, I give them the time and space they need to open up on their own. With a calm, loving, and safe environment, that trust usually begins to develop naturally. I’m especially comfortable with animals who may be shy, fearful, cautious, or unsure of strangers. I take a very gentle approach, allowing them to get to know me at their own pace. Once they feel safe and comfortable, that’s when the magic unfolds! I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, whether that means sleeping in a crate at night or curling up on the bed. I live in a first-floor apartment facing a nice open green space, which makes it easy to provide frequent potty breaks and neighborhood walks. With pet-parent permission, it’s my norm to send daily updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m also comfortable administering medications and handling foods that require refrigeration or freezing. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and needs. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet! I am currently retired so I am home most of the day/night. I live with my 16 lb non-shedding Aussie doogle dog, Zoey. I may step out to run errands, go to an appointment, other, but am otherwise at home. I allow dogs to sleep on my bed or stay in a crate at night, per pet parents wishes. If you are traveling and require a pick up after 6 pm just let me know so we can work something out. I live in an apartment on the first floor, so I have easy access to let dogs out for potty breaks as I face an open green space. I live in a safe community with plenty of sidewalks and street lighting. I often walk my dog clients in the morning when it is cool outside, so they can get adequate exercise. On rainy days, I like to occupy your pet with tug-o-war, or a treat-kong, or playing with other toys. Please feel free to bring your dog's favorite toys.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kure Beach
We recently left our 9 month old pup with Lauren for 9 days. It was the first time our pup has been away from us and our first time using Rover. She had a blast with Lauren and her dog Lucy and our experience working with Lauren through Rover was great. Lauren was very responsive and happy to answer all my questions. She provided us with daily updates and pictures. Drop off and pick up went smoothly & we didn’t have any issues at all. I would definitely book again with Lauren!

Desi was so awesome watching our Solei! My family had accidentally booked a place in Carolina Beach that was not dog friendly- Desi was so flexible and let us pick up and drop off Solei throughout her pet sitting time so we could still spend time with her hiking the state park and hanging out on the beach. Desi very obviously cares so much for her clients’ pets and goes the extra mile to make them feel comfortable in her house- Solei had a great time at her home away from home! I’d recommend Desi to pet sit anytime!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kure Beach on Rover is $34.24 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 362 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kure Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Kure Beach sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Kure Beach landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kure Beach 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 Kure Beach.
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 Kure Beach 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.
