“They have taken care of Sandy for us multiple times. She was much more at ease when we dropped her off this time because she is familiar with them now & we are at peace knowing that they care about her & are taking very good care of her.”

“We were so fortunate that Amanda was available last minute for us. We traveled from Virginia to NC to visit family with our Australian shepherd mix, Josie. We had intended to take Josie on all our outings with us. It was just way too hot to keep her out all day, so we got on Rover (we have used it at home numerous times) and were lucky enough to find Amanda. Josie enjoyed playing with her children and the family pets as well. We know she was much happier there that being out in the heat all day. Amanda responded quickly to our request and took great care of Josie. We would definitely use her again.”

“Emily and her family were all so nice and helpful keeping our pup. We had the convenience of visiting the beach while on vacation, care free. Our pup was being taken care of. It was truly a gift. She took him on multiple walks gave him food and water as well as many potty breaks. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Emily. 10/10 recommend”

“This was my first time ever having to leave a baby behind on vacation and I’m too happy Darlene accepted my request. My baby whom was never away from home or us, adjusted well slowly but they gained his trust. She continued to update me about him throughout the day with pictures included! Thank you again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to hamsters and rats—and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster kittens and gain hands-on experience with a variety of pets. My mom was a veterinary technician for 30 years, so I grew up learning a lot about animal care, behavior, and what it means to keep pets happy and healthy. At 18, I started my own pet-sitting business back home in Connecticut. When I moved out of state, I left the business behind, but I’ve always wanted to get back into pet sitting—and now feels like the perfect time! I currently have two cats and two ball pythons of my own. My schedule is also very flexible right now, which means I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. My time spent with your pets will involve lots of love and cuddles, walks and playtime, as well as treats as appropriate. I also have experience with administering medications to pets, so if this is something you need assistance with just let me know! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐾 I'm currently in between jobs and looking for something part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your babies, whether that be drop-ins or boarding. If needed, I have a dog crate at home for the safety of your pet while I am not at home. I have a 3 bedroom home in a peaceful community in Conway.

“Christy was amazing with Max! She treated him like one of her own, making sure he was comfortable as this was his first time boarding, and she even ordered him something for his upset tummy when she noticed something was a little off. Max loved playing with her pups and definitly got his exercise in! Many updates and pictures, excellent communication. Already booked a second visit!”

She was kind enough to provide dog food for our pup Sylvia since we forget hers at home and her dog Tony was wonderful and playful. She was communicative before our stay and quick to respond. I can't recommend her more highly!”

“Jenny was absolutely awesome. Took a trip to Myrtle Beach and our dog, Yoda, was not comfortable staying at a kennel. Contracted Jenny the day of and she opened her home to Yoda. She took him on walks on the beach and dealt superbly with his idiosyncrasies. Couldn't have asked for better care for Yoda. I would highly recommend Jenny.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, and just about every furry friend imaginable. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, which is why I strive to provide the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own dog. I share my home with Mabel, my energetic, friendly pup who loves making new friends! My sweet girl Mabel is energetic, playful, and enjoys the company of other dogs! However, she does appreciate a proper introduction before welcoming new friends into our home. 🐾 I encourage a meet-and-greet before boarding so Mabel and your pup can get acquainted, exchange a few sniffs, and make sure they’re both comfortable. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and peace of mind are always my top priorities! We live in the beautiful Windy Hill area of North Myrtle Beach, just four blocks from the ocean, with a yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of opportunities for fresh air and exercise. Whether your pup loves an active day of exploring or would rather curl up somewhere cozy for an afternoon nap, I’ll make sure their care is tailored to their personality, comfort level, and routine. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make your pet feel like a cherished member of the family. Because to me, pets aren’t just animals — they’re family! 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your furry family members! I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, outdoor breaks, and lots of love into my daily routine. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual schedule so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I live in a pet-friendly home in the Windy Hill area, just four blocks from the beach, with a yard for supervised outdoor time. My dog Mabel is friendly and playful, but appreciates a proper meet-and-greet before welcoming new furry friends. I always follow each pet’s individual needs, routines, and house rules to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible!

About: What Sets Me Apart Your pet won’t just be “watched” here—they’ll be truly cared for like family. Because I work from home, your pet will have consistent, all-day attention, plenty of interaction, and lots of love. They’ll never feel alone or overlooked. I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and needs—from playful pups to more timid or senior pets who need a gentler touch. My home offers a large yard for safe play and fresh air, giving pets the space to run, explore, and enjoy themselves while staying in a secure, supervised environment. Most importantly, I’m naturally gentle, patient, and attentive. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks so they feel comfortable, happy, and at ease while you’re away. You can expect regular updates, lots of affection, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in a calm, loving home—not a kennel. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I run a small in-home business, which means I’m home the majority of the day. Having furry friends here is truly a bonus to my routine—I love the extra company and all the snuggle time they bring! Throughout the day, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection, rather than just quick check-ins. Whether it’s relaxing nearby while I work, playing outside in the yard, or curling up for naps, your pet will be included in a calm, loving environment. Because I’m already home and active, your pet becomes a natural part of my day—not an afterthought. They’ll get plenty of interaction, supervision, and love. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where your pet can relax and feel right at home. I’m currently in the process of having my yard fully fenced, and in the meantime, all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure your pet’s safety. Pets in my care enjoy a balance of playtime, rest, and affection throughout the day. I provide fun activities like outdoor play and even water play on warmer days for pets who enjoy it. Inside, there are plenty of cozy spots to nap, relax, and feel secure. With your approval, I love to offer treats and positive reinforcement to help pets feel happy and comfortable. I also include gentle pet massage and extra snuggle time, which many dogs absolutely love—it helps them relax and feel at ease while they’re away from home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they feel safe, cared for, and truly part of the family during their stay.

About: What sets me apart from other animal sitters is my personalized, attentive approach to every pet I care for. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs, whether that means managing medications, easing anxiety, or keeping up with high energy levels. I prioritize clear communication by providing regular updates and photos, so owners always feel connected and reassured. Above all, I’m dependable and safety-focused, creating a calm, secure environment where pets are treated with genuine care and respect. Not just looked after, but truly cared for. I fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine by making it part of my regular schedule. I usually feed my pet around the same time I eat, which helps me remember. I set aside a little time each day for walks, play, or training so they get exercise and attention. I also do quick things like brushing or cleaning up after them as part of my everyday chores. Once a week, I do a deeper clean, wash their bedding, and check that they’re healthy and have everything they need. Making these things part of my normal routine keeps it easy and helps me stay consistent. I work part time so I have plenty of time on my hands. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while sticking to their familiar routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule with the right portions, always have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and playtime suited to their energy level. I also handle things like cleaning up after them, brushing or light grooming, and giving medication if needed. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine consistent and the environment stress-free. I spend time giving them attention and affection so they feel secure and cared for while their owner is away. I don’t have a fence around my porch area but i do have an open field i can take them to play in & I also have a leash. Also there’s only one dog that gets walked in my neighborhood and he’s very friendly!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Nakina

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Nakina is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $42 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 165 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nakina. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

96% of sitters in Nakina can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nakina 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 Nakina.

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 Nakina 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.
