“Erica and Christian are the best!! They took wonderful care of our anxious doggy and have such a comforting environment for the dogs. They are very flexible and willing to do whatever it takes for your pets to feel at home. Charlie had so much fun, we will be continuing to use them!”
“Melany was friendly and accommodating from the beginning of our communication through to the end. She sent pictures during our dog’s overnight stay including his time in her backyard which I know he loved. She made everything easy and stress-free.”
“Christopher spent a lot of time giving my dog, Lucy, personal attention. She is a 14 year old who is very fussy when taking her food and many meds. He kept in contact with us and she looked very happy once he spoiled her. I would highly recommend Christopher.”
“Jenna and Shane were fantastic! Addi was so happy! I felt like they really cared about her and they just love dogs. Addi got along great with their dogs. Great experience!”
“My puppy developed blood shot red eyes during his last visit with Catherine & Alvaro. Catherine applied a cool compress to his face, quickly notified me & continued to give me updates until I could pick him back up. Luckily, it was just allergies. Glad to know that she will act quickly if something is wrong with my dog!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Rachel!! She took amazing care of my dogs, Rocco and Bear while I was away. From the daily updates and photos to the thoughtful attention to their routines and personality, I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in great hands. Rocco and Bear came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Christopher and Rachelle did a AMAZING job taking care of our 8 week puppy Kobe. They were very friendly and engaging. Loved that they sent messages, photos, and videos of our sweet boy! We missed him so much. He had so much fun staying with them for a whole week. We will definitely recommend them for your pet sitting and care. Thanks again guys!”
“I feel so at ease when my fur children are with Sanya! There’s not a second I worry as I know they’re having the best time not to mention they’re beat when they get home. Will never not use Sanya !”
“We will most definitely be using Alicia and Matthew’s services again! Our dogs had a great time and we can tell by how happy they were when we picked them up. Our dogs typically get anxious and don’t eat when we board them, but that was not the case this weekend which means they were comfortable with who was caring for them! Thank you Say Cheese!!!”
“Shanna was the best! She took great care of our energetic labs! We enjoyed the updates and pictures throughout their stay. Goose and Tater clearly enjoyed themselves. I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”

“Gina took great care of Henry and kept me updated with pictures and videos! Henry was so comfortable there and I could tell he was very loved! Will definitely book with Gina again!”
“I’m glad I chose Maribel. I considered a place that had lots going on in the kids and other animals department. The moment me and Like walked in, I knew the quiet and relaxing environment would be just right for him. Her friendly and low key Bassett hound Molly was a great big sis for those five days. She kindly accommodated our request for an extra day. I’ll happily book her again next time Luke needs a home away from home.”
“Heather was a quick responder, sent pictures, made my Luna girl part of her family, and was very flexible. The holidays can be busy and stressful but she relieved me of having to worry about Luna while I was away. Luna looked relaxed in the pictures so I felt at ease.”
“Ro was amazing! She took great care of our 3 doggo’s so we could do a quick weekend getaway. She sent updates and pics regularly and we knew they were in good hands! We would definitely use her again!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
Having owned dogs all my life, yet never having to board one, I wasn’t sure where to look and was certainly anxious about leaving my little buddy. Savanna did a great job making Koda feel welcome and comfortable in his new home for the week. I got regular updates on how Koda was doing and quick answers to any questions I had. Koda had his first birthday while in her care and she made sure he knew it was his special day. Couldn’t be happier with his stay! Thanks for everything Savanna!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lexington on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 473 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lexington. 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.
97% of Lexington 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 Lexington 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 Lexington 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 Lexington.
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 Lexington 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.
