“We were so blessed to find Nicole to care for our pup over the weekend. It was his first time experiencing out of home overnight boarding so we were very nervous how he would do. She sent frequent updates with pictures of him playing with her sweet pups and going for regular walks which made me feel so much better! Although my pup was stressed, Nicole did everything possible to care for him and put him at ease. She even went above and beyond by washing his things and giving him a bath. I’m so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own!”
“Kovu loved Sara and her pup Theo! He had a great time playing in the backyard and relaxing on the furniture. Sara was very respondent and sent lots of photos to make me feel good about leaving my pup behind.”
“Erin was an awesome sitter. She watched our golden retriever for a couple days and had a fantastic setup; Giant fenced in backyard with a pool and other dogs that got along really well. She updated us with pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Dog must have had a blast because she was exhausted when we picked her up. Will definitely return if in the OBX area!”
“I loved how she gave updates frequently on my pups while I was away. My pups seemed to enjoy their stay and do typically have anxiety with boarding situations so I feel they were more at ease with this setting. She did a fantastic job. One of my girls is a senior on meds and has to be fed and she took it all in stride!”
About: Lifelong Pet Lover & Dedicated Caregiver Pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently share my home with two cats, one dog, and pet turtles, so I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone they can trust while you're away, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, attention, and affection. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your fur babies. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. From energetic puppies to independent cats—and even shelled friends—I genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all kinds and making sure they receive the love and attention they deserve. I work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I am available for evenings, weekends, and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your pets when you need it most. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping pets’ routines consistent, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. My home has a fenced-in backyard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time, fresh air, and supervised activities. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, communication, and making sure every pet feels happy and secure while in my care. I also send frequent pictures of your fur baby if desired.
“Sam was an excellent sitter for my dachshund. I received lots of updates (even from a creek!), and he seems to have had a lot of fun. I can tell he enjoyed staying with Sam and I will definitely bring him back :) 5 stars all around”

Gloria was great! We were visiting for the weekend and had to find a sitter the night before (super last minute). We lucked out when Gloria responded—she was super kind, flexible, and understanding. She sent pictures of our Roscoe on a walk and even set him up in front of a movie—so sweet! 100% recommend
Erin was fantastic. This was our first time using the app and our first time ever boarding our dog. Unfortunately our dog was really cranky being away from us for the first time. Erin was really kind and understanding and worked with us to make sure we were still able to have a place for him to sleep. Highly recommend.
Mindy is a great dog sitter. From the first step of booking, she was very quick to respond, and she answered all my questions in a timely manner. When we dropped our dogs off, she greeted us, ready to have the dogs, with an immaculate home, dog toys, and a very welcoming home. She sent pictures and communicated daily with us. My dogs were very well cared for, walked, and I would highly recommend her. I was at total ease with her watching our two small dogs for the weekend.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Nags Head on Rover is $71.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 18 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nags Head. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Nags Head 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 Nags Head.
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 Nags Head 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.
