They are old dogs who don’t do well in a boarding environment, so we were thrilled to find Cheryl and feel like they were really comfortable and got lots of personal love and attention while we were away. They also had lots of toys, comfy beds, carpeted floors, and a fenced yard at Cheryl’s house. Will definitely book with Cheryl again!!”

“This was my first time using Rover for an extended boarding stay, and Taffy's first time staying with someone who wasn't a friend or family member, so I was a little nervous at first. But Bo took such great care of Taffy and made the whole experience stress-free. She sent daily photos, and I could tell Taffy was having a wonderful time and felt comfortable in her care. Bo is also organized and communicative, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Judith took amazing care of our Lava! We have now trusted Judith with our pup twice (once for a week when we were on vacation). If you are looking for a place that your pup can enjoy plenty of fenced in outdoor space with shade, other friendly dogs to play with, and caring caretakers—look no further!”
“Tina was fantastic! Her home is clean and welcoming. She was responsive, detailed, and most importantly, kind to my baby. My dog was not stressed like she’s been with other sitters, and well attended to. Tina provided pictures and a detailed daily summary. I will happily use her services again.”

Dana was the best sitter I could’ve asked for! I was gone for a week and left my pup with her for the first time. I knew she was in great hands with Dana and she was able to accommodate all her dietary needs. Dana sent me great updates and many photos while I was gone.
This was the first time with Ciara. She took good care of our hyperenergetic dogs, a husky and a Labrador retriever. She followed the instructions given. The dogs looked happy when they came back to us. Her kids were very friendly with the dogs and take good care of them as well. I will definitely use her in future.
Madison was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dog, Joey, with someone outside of friends/family, and she set me at ease immediately. She let me bring him by beforehand to meet her and get familiarized with her home, so the actual dropoff went smoothly! Within two hours of leaving him, she told me he was napping on the couch, so I know he was completely comfortable with her. Madison was extremely easygoing and flexible throughout this whole process. Very thankful to have had her loving on Joey while I was away!
Emma was so great with our 8-month-old pup! We had our pup stay with her for 3 nights, and we were very confident in her expertise and comfort with dogs. She provided a loving environment for our pup, shared photos with us, fed her as we asked her to, and took her on plenty of walks. Our pup loved all the playtime she got with other dogs at Emma’s house. Emma accommodated us in letting our dog have a couple long play dates at her house prior to our trip to get her accustomed to staying there. We’d highly recommend Emma for boarding services!
Daniel is the G.O.A.T when it come to sitting. Never had to ask the status of my furbaby or to send pics. Received pics throughout the day just not one time. Pics were clear and could see my dog at all stages. My dog has come home healthy and happy. You can not go wrong by hiring Daniel.
This was my first rover experience in Charlotte. Linda was great with my dog Riggins! She sent tons of pictures and updates. Riggins had a great time with her! She even accommodated me when my flight was canceled which gave me such peace of mind! Will def book with her again!
Judd is the man! This is my second time booking with him, and I can't say enough good things. He takes excellent care of my dog, Gabe, making sure he gets plenty of walks, trips to the dog park, and even treats. It's clear that Gabe had a great time during his stay. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Judd again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Barbara was amazing and truly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was warm, sweet, and incredibly responsive the whole time. I could tell my dogs were happy and so well cared for. When I picked them up I could tell they had a fun time! I’m so grateful for her help and will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much, Barbara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Matthews 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 2,399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Matthews. 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 Matthews 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 Matthews 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 Matthews 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 Matthews.
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 Matthews 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.
