“Dana is my pups new best friend. I left Charley with Dana during a 2 week vacation and had no worries. Charley was happy being at Dana’s and playing in her great backyard and spending time with Dana and her pup, Bailey. Dana kept me informed of how it was going by sending me lots of photos and was su poo er responsive if I had questions. I’ll definitely use Dana again.”
“Mrs. Barbara is the best dog sitter ever. Besides being so sweet and kind and a dog lover she offers a beautiful home and backyard for the dogs to feel at home. She is very flexible and provides all the attention your dog needs. She eased my anxiety of leaving my dog with someone new as soon as I met her. She is my permanent dog sitter August and I are so blessed to have found her!”
“Christal was quick to respond and very communicative while my pup was with her family! Lots of love and cuddles were given and my pup came home tired and happy! I hope we can board with Christal again!”
“Alyssa and Spencer took great care of Sadie!! They were able to take her on short notice which was a huge help and gave her lots of love. Thank you Alyssa and Spencer!!”
“Daniel is by far the best sitter we have worked with! I felt so comfortable leaving our boy with him! He communicated very well, sent lots of pictures, and most importantly, loved our boy generously! We will absolutely be rebooking!”
“This was Cody's fist time with this sitter and her family and they did a fantastic job. They are true dog lovers who went out of their way to make Cody feel welcome, including letting him sleep under the covers, which is his favorite spot. And they quickly put me at ease and consistently kept me up-to-date with texts/pictures. It was an outstanding experience that I highly recommend for all dogs and all pet parents.”
“Can’t say thank you enough to Elizabeth & Kevin for taking such good care of our girl!! This was her first stay with them. We received many photo updates! We are so happy to have found a great place for our girl when we are out of town!!”
“This is the first time we have left our 13 year old rescue dog with someone outside of our family as she can be timid around new people. Katherine and her family were wonderful hosts, making her completely comfortable and feeling loved. Katherine communicated regularly with updates and photos. Our dog, Vera, was snuggling up with Katherine’s family and running around outside. Would definitely recommend!”
“Once again Apollo and I are very pleased. The sitter sent pictures, kept me updated throughout Apollo's stay! I felt assured knowing that Apollo was in good hands. Apollo loves it there. I'm grateful. Thanks again!!”
“Thank you Tina!!!!!! So glad I found you on Rover! Delilah had a wonderful few days in your home. I appreciated the photos and pics while I was away. Delilah didn’t miss a beat when she returned home today so this is how I know she loved being with you! Your home and care were fabulous and it’s such a relief to me knowing she was in such caring and wonderful hands. Thank you 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 :)”
“Joanna is a very compassionate, kind and thoughtful dog sitter/care giver. She sent me pictures of my fur babies and communicated about their stay. One of my dogs was very anxious, and Joanna gave her extra attention to make her feel better. She even took our dogs on walks! She is amazing, and I definitely highly recommend her!”
“Great daily updates and I think Zoe enjoyed her time with Linda and Koda. She was napping very comfortably when I went to pick her up!! Thank you again Linda!”
“Chloe had an amazing experience with Kristian, her family, and her very sweet dogs! She sent pictures and updates daily. Kristian is very experienced, flexible, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Plus, her backyard is huge and gives dogs a wonderful place to play and explore! So happy to have found Kristian and I cannot recommend her enough!! A thousand stars!”
“Second time booking with Lauren. This time our shy dog went right up to her door like it was her second home. Really appreciate how easy communication is with Lauren throughout the whole process.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alvin’s and would absolutely book with her again! She took such great care of Cayde and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious from the photos that Cayde was having a great time playing and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our travel schedule, which we really appreciated since our timeline changed a few times. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she genuinely treated Cayde like one of her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

Mrs. Dana was truly a blessing when we needed someone to watch our puppy, Winnie, for a quick day trip away. Since it was our first time leaving her with a sitter, we were a little nervous, but Mrs. Dana immediately made us feel comfortable. She sent us sweet pictures and updates throughout the day, which meant so much and helped us enjoy our time away knowing Winnie was happy and cared for. You can tell that Mrs. Dana has such a genuine love for animals and treats them like her own. She is incredibly kind, caring, and thoughtful. We are so grateful we found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their dog/pup. We truly cannot thank her enough💕💕
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!
Bozena, was kind enough to agree to watch over Ginger who was less than 5 months old (toy poodle). When we had our meetup Ginger was very comfortable with her and that made me feel good. During Gingers stay we received plenty of pictures and video to see her. I did not have to worry and Ginger seemed glad to be there and around the other does. We will definitely use her services again.
Judith took very good care of our 10.5-year-old dog while we went on 3-day road trip. Judith is knowledgeable about many large breeds and observant of dog's individual needs. We did a meet-and-greet with her dogs and my dog prior which I appreciated. If you have any specific needs she will accommodate or let you know if she can accommodate. My dog has had surgery (2 ACL repairs) so we have to be mindful of his portion of feedings and limit running. It a bit hard to control his running and jumping especially when he sees a squirrel, so I requested that he spend 15-20 min outside during potty breaks rather than 30 -40 min outside, so he rests between breaks. Judith was able to accommodate. The next day he was up and moving around easily so he had a good amount of activity and not too much that he is too sore to move the next day. We will reach out to Judith for our next trip. Highly recommend.
Vladymyra is truly exceptional. She took care of our two dogs for several days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped them off, she made them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. Our pups can be a little sensitive when we’re away, but with her, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly adored. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she paid attention to every detail — their routines, their quirks, their comfort — and treated them as if they were her own. When we picked them up, they were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. That’s the greatest gift a dog parent can receive. We are so grateful for Vladymyra and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly outstanding dog sitter. She’s a gem.
Natalie and her family took such wonderful care of our S’mores!!! Our girl is older and needs some extra care and rest- Natalie made sure she had all of her special needs met and sent us wonderful updates on all she was doing with lots of happy photos! Her communication was excellent, and when I realized our travel plans were going to be getting us in later than we expected, she was very kind and accommodating about helping us out! Great stay- great family! Thank you!!
I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! From the very beginning, they were responsive, professional, and genuinely caring toward my dog. They provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable pet sitter.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Chasalen. Our dog had a nervous belly for most of our trip, and she was incredibly attentive, communicative, and compassionate the entire time. She went above and beyond - trying a different diet for the pooch, keeping us updated, and making sure our pooch felt loved and comforted. We are so grateful for the amazing care she provided and would absolutely trust her again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Matthews on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,429 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.
96% 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.
