At Knot-A-Kennel, you’re not just hiring someone to watch your dog—you’re choosing a trusted pet care partner committed to providing the highest level of care every time your pet stays with us. What sets us apart is our focus on personalized care. We take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs, whether they are an energetic puppy, a senior dog requiring extra attention, or a pet that needs daily medication. We work to keep their schedule as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Our experience handling animals in a variety of situations has given us the confidence and skills to care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Safety is always our top priority, and we carefully supervise playtime, monitor behavior, and provide a clean, secure environment where dogs can relax and have fun. Pet care is an integral part of our daily routine at Knot-A-Kennel. Our schedule is intentionally built around the needs of the dogs in our care, ensuring they receive regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day.

“We were extremely pleased with Monica taking care of Walter. She did a wonderful job, and had no concerns the whole time we were gone. I would definately recommend her and would use her in the future.”
“I can’t recommend Judd enough! They took such wonderful care of my cat while I was away, providing updates, photos, and lots of love. It was clear from the start that they truly care about animals, and my cat warmed up to them instantly. Knowing my pet was in such great hands gave me total peace of mind.”
“Gabby is kind, patient and fun with Holly. She provides lots of pictures, plenty of love and a whole lot of care. Highly recommend her! (And Benji is super sweet too!)”
“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sheila took such great care of Penny! We loved the photos and videos she sent us. It was easy to see how happy and comfortable Penny felt with her. Penny was exhausted when we brought her home. Definitely recommend her!”
“Joanna took excellent care of our 8yr old Golden. She provided us with daily updates and photos of his stay. Her communication both before and during our dog’s stay was quick and clear. Our dog had a wonderful time with her and we will rebook in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Tanvi took great care of my dog through an extended weekend. She was super responsive, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure I was in the loop throughout. Highly recommend.”
“Cynthia did a great job. She responded to my booking request quickly, sent pictures as updates, and always had another dog there for mine to play with, which was nice. My dog was very happy upon pickup, in the kind of way that he had fun.”
“Alejandra was extremely responsive before and during stay. She took extra care of Dexter and notified me when he didn’t eat and when he didn’t. I never felt uneasy while he was in her care. I would recommend and use Alejandra again.”
“Hunter took wonderful care of Margo. As I am new to Rover, she was very organized and responsive which helped tremendously. It is easy to see how much Hunter loves dogs.”
“Kayla and Michael did an amazing job taking care of my dog, first for a weekend and then for a week while I was out of the country. They were diligent about giving her medications and providing me updates. They took extra care to make sure she could spend some time playing outside in the morning before it got too hot. They went above and beyond to not only ensure she was comfortable, but to also make sure she had fun. She looked genuinely happy in the photo updates Kayla sent, which gave me peace of mind. She can be a bit introverted but even seemed to make friends with the other dogs. In the future, I will be sure to book way in advance so Nova can stay with Kayla and Michael and their family. Thank you!!”
“Corinna was amazing! Very professional, very loving towards my dog, and always kept my dog entertained. Highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future.”
“First time leaving our 6 month puppy. Cody did a great job taking care of him. He sent multiple pictures and videos a day. He kept us up to date what was going on with Jersey and adopting to the new environment. Absolutely had a fantastic experience”

Tina took amazing care of our dogs while we were away. I got a lot of detailed updates and pictures that gave me great peace of mind during our trip. It was clear our dogs were getting a lot of love and attention. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.
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.
Dana was flexible with our drop off time and took great care of Ella. Last year Ella stayed for 2 weeks and this year for a week and we felt so comfortable leaving our fur baby after having a great experience last year. Thank you for all the pictures and updates of Ella and for taking such good care of her.
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 Pet Boarding in Matthews on Rover is $39 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,449 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Matthews. About 93% of Matthews sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
