Andrew is an excellent dog sitter, highly recommended. He took great care to keep us informed with updates and photos of our dog. He was understanding of flight delays and plans changing to make for a stress free vacation. Thank you!

Andrea was awesome. She sent me pictures of how Hoover was doing and was very flexible. He had a great time playing with her other dogs and her son too! He is very exhausted!!!

Kim and her family are Bella’s favorite friends. When we got there, she jumped out of the car and ran to the front door. Kim keep us updated with lots of pictures of the love she is shown by the whole family. Kim is our go-to sitter! Thanks so much for keeping Bella, our minds were completely at ease!

Angela did a great job of taking care of our dog! She kept us well informed of his activities and dogshe was playing with. She sent lot so pictures. I think our dog really enjoyed her backyard -- he doesn't have one at home.

Hannah was the perfect sitter for my toy poodle. Very upbeat, lively, kind and caring. My dog clearly enjoyed staying with her and I would heartily recommend her to anyone looking for wonderful pet sitter.

We had a great experience with Lauren caring for our small dog. Very communicative, and our dog was the same at pickup as dropoff and our dog was exhausted which is usually a good sign that she enjoyed her stay.

Helena and her family were so good with our dog, Mugsy. She took the time to listen to and understand any special instructions, and sent us regular photos and updates. She reached out quickly when there was any questions or concerns. I can tell Helena truly loves dogs and treats them like family. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Hazel’s 8-day stay! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in caring, capable hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she received plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and was treated like part of the family rather than just another dog. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire stay, and every interaction was professional, friendly, and reassuring. Knowing we can leave Hazel with someone we completely trust is invaluable. We would recommend John without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. Hazel is already looking forward to her next visit, and we’ll absolutely be booking again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl!

We love Haley and her sweet gentle little girl. They took great care of our Chi Chi. This was our 1st time using Rover and we were a little nervous. We will never be nervous again as long as Haley is available. Special points for her large backyard. Lots of room for pups to play.

FAQs for Boarding - Oak Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Oak Island on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 330 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oak Island. About 91% of Oak Island 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.
