“Judith took wonderful care of Leo and kept us completely at ease while we were away. She sent periodic updates, which helped us feel connected, and it was clear from the photos and messages that Leo was happy and relaxed in her care. We are very grateful for how attentive and kind she was with him and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter.”
“We cannot thank Elizabeth and Kevin enough for watching our dog, Sadie, for the past two weeks! We received daily pictures and updates that made us thrilled. We also had numerous flights cancelled on our travel home. Elizabeth and Kevin were able to accommodate without missing a beat! Sadie is looking to her next visit.”
“I could not be any happier with the experience that Cooper had with Clayton. He sent us photo and video updates frequently. he was clearly VERY well taken care of. We will DEFINITELY be using Clayton again.”
“As always, Daniel is so great to our dog Braxton. Many walks, pictures and special treats. Thanks Daniel for taking good care of Braxton. He will see you again in a few weeks.”
“My little boy didn't want to leave. He was in heaven. I could not be happier with the care that he received. I'm just so happy that somebody else loves my little boy the way we love him.”
“Cheryl & Mike took great care of our retired working dog. Tina struggles with separation anxiety, & they jumped at the opportunity to keep our deserving girl while we were away. When they replied that it would be their honor to keep Tina for us, we knew we had found the right family. Thanks for a great week, the photo updates & the always-quick replies! And thanks for loving on our girl!”
“This was the second time Dana kept our pup and it went super well! We got plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. Our dog even got bonus treats when Dana learned her birthday was coming up 😊 We will definitely use her again when we need a pet sitter.”
“Tucker had the best weekend with Carolina and her sweet girls! They were so kind and welcoming, and the video updates throughout his time there were wonderful. She was wonderful!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy with my experience. My dog came home very happy and I know he was well cared for with Alyssa. I will definitely use her again!”
“Our senior dog, Watson, has stayed with Molly and her family twice now and we LOVE working with her! She's a fantastic and responsive communicator who sends lots of pictures. Pick-up and drop-off have always been a breeze (even when we had a flight delay that set us a bit off schedule!). They do a great job giving Watson his medicine (daily pills and eye ointment). Most importantly, it is clear to us that Watson loves visiting Molly & her family! He always comes home to us happy and healthy, if a little tired from all the excitement. :-)”
“This was my first time using the Rover app, based on a friend's referral. Because of my experience with Maria, I don't see how it could have gone any better. Maria was sweet and attentive, and she gave updates with notes, pictures, and videos. I could tell from everything I saw and received that our fur baby was loved by her family just as much as we did. I particularly liked that because Maria knew I was on a work trip, she kept updates to a minimum and provided them when requested. So, I didn't have to feel inundated with information while traveling for work. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. She made this such a pleasant and positive experience for my family and I. Thanks Maria!.”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”
“If you're looking for a boarder who treats your pet as their own, look no further than Nathalie. She asked thoughtful questions ahead of the booking and provided many updates throughout the day so I could be assured that my dog was not only safe and cared for, but was also having the time of his life. I also felt like Nathalie's location, which is convenient for me personally, was also very conducive for stimulating walks. I'm so grateful to have been matched with Nathalie on this platform. Now, leaving town will not be as stressful knowing he is getting so much love and affection while I am away.”
“IIanna was absolutely wonderful, see sent pictures and videos of Roscoe while she kept him and text updates daily, we feel totally comfortable leaving him with her family I think he wants to go back and visit with his new family, Roscoe really was relaxed with them thank you again IIanna I’ll be in touch again.”
“My pups were happy and loved while I was away. I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. I really appreciated the updates and pictures. I highly recommend and will definitely be using Katherine again!”
“Shalisha was amazing! We had to have her watch our sweet kitty Mia for the day, who is normally very shy and takes some time to warm up to new people. Shalisha created a calm, welcoming environment for her and treated her with care, and after a little while our girl warmed right up to her. We will definitely seek out her services in the future the next time we need someone to take care of Mia :)”
“Thank you, Shalyn, for taking such great care of Tucker while we were away. It is such a blessing knowing he is being treated like a member of your family.”
“Aw Nova LOVED Liliana and her family! Nova was happy and at peace when I picked her up and that says a lot! I received pictures and updates which put a dog mana at ease 🩷 I know Nova got plenty of outside time and love. Even my doggy bowls came back cleaned! Thank you to you all! I’m sure Nova will see you again! Blessings friends! We loved you!”
“Tina did a great job watching after my dogs. She was very flexible with every aspect of booking. You could tell she wanted to make my dogs feel comfortable and respect my wishes. She also kept me up to date on what was going on with them. Would definitely let her watch my dogs again.”

Judith did amazing with my sweet Daisy girl. Daisy is shy and takes a bit to warm up and Judith did a great job being patient with her and providing a space for her to feel comfortable. She is very kind and knowledgeable and I would recommend her to others and use her services again myself for my dog.
We can’t say enough good things about Summer. She has been watching Roxy for us since 2018. There are very few people we would trust completely with Roxy, but with Summer we never have to worry. She treats Roxy like she is one of her own and gives her so much love, attention, and care. It’s obvious how comfortable Roxy is with her and how much she loves being around her and her family. Summer knows Roxy’s personality, habits, and routines so well after all these years, which gives us a tremendous amount of peace of mind whenever we are away. After having Summer care for Roxy for so many years, we honestly couldn’t imagine using anyone else. We would recommend Summer without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Matthews on Rover is $39.23 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 2,404 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.
