“This is the first time I've left my dog on a trip and was a little sad about it. Sidney was very friendly and my dog came home very happy. I would absolutely recommend this home for your dog. I will absolutely use Sidney for future trips.”
“Danielle has taken wonderful care of our puppy on several occasions, and with very short notice. We would be happy to recommend her to recommend her to anyone at any time. She thoughtfully sends photos and updates regarding our dogs well being before we can even begin to worry and gives us plenty of peace of mind.”
“Yueqian did a great job hosting our two pups! We have one very anxious dog and we were worried about taking him to a sitter. Yueqian gave updated throughout the weekend which helped us relax. Would recommend!”
“Atina did a great job taking care of our pooch for Labor Day weekend. She sent several pictures and kept us updated as to what was going on. Will use her again when the need arises!”
“Family friendly home. Fenced yard and clean. My girls were taken great care of, and I was updated through my vacation. I would recommend Amy and will be booking again.”
“After our meet and greet with Maria I knew I could trust her taking care of Daisy. On my 7 day vacation I never once worried that Daisy wasn't in good hands. Maria is very passionate about what she does. 5 stars”
“Kaylah was awesome. She sent photos of our dog while we were on vacation and let us know Hattie was doing great. We appreciated the great communication from her as it calmed our nerves as this was the first time we had boarded Hattie. She has a big yard and lots of toys for the dogs to play with. We appreciated everything she did and will board Hattie with her again”
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have been raising my 9 year old pup since she was 8 weeks old! I’m a huge lover of animals, but I’m definitely a dog person. I’m currently on a reduced work schedule, as I own a cleaning business and am expecting my first child. With that being said, I work about 4 hours each morning Monday through Friday and I’m home the rest of the time. I have a big yard with room to roam on the anchored leads. I also have two loving and friendly dogs, aged 9 and 14, who love company! Special needs can be accommodated and crates can be utilized if necessary. Potty breaks are about every 2-3 hours but can be more frequent if necessary
“Lisa was amazing to work with! I planned to bring my dog with me last minute and she was able to accommodate Myles’ stay. He got plenty of love, walks and playtime and Lisa kept me updated along the way so I could fully enjoy my vacation. If back in the area I will certainly book with Lisa again. Myles’ was sad to leave her!”
About: Hi! I’m Amy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’m a responsible, and compassionate person who understands how important it is to feel confident that your beloved pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. I grew up on a farm and have led a pet centered life since. I am patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and loved in my care. Whether your pet wants long walks and lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone to stick to their familiar routine, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I also understand that every pet—and every pet parent—is different. I’m careful about following feeding instructions, medications, schedules, exercise routines, and any special requests. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pets. Most importantly, I want you to be able to relax while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance so you know your furry family member is doing well. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and become someone you can trust whenever they need a little extra love and care. ❤️ I currently do not work so I have plenty of time to drop in and spend time with your pet! Feeding, walking, crating and playing with your pets is my focus! I will always care for your pet as if it is my own. I have two wonderful dogs and a fenced in yard for extended stays
“Britney was absolutely fantastic! I’m pretty sure my dog had a better vacation with her than I did😂 great communication and so accommodating. 10 out of 10 would recommend and will definitely be using her in the future (and telling family and friends)!”
“Carina was great! She sent me picture updates without me asking, and took great care of my dog. She worked with me to pick my dog up a little earlier than scheduled without any issue. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a passion of mine! I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from exotic pets, livestock, and aquatic animals to your everyday furry friends like dogs and cats. 🐶🐱🐓🐠🐀🐍 No matter the species, I believe every animal deserves love, patience, and proper care. I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your animals are family, and I’ll treat them like my own! I currently work part-time as a dog groomer from 7–11 AM, which means I’ll have plenty of time to spend caring for your fur babies throughout the day! I live in a spacious apartment with a fenced-in, screened porch, giving your pets a comfortable place to relax. My apartment complex also has two dog parks, plus an even bigger dog park just down the street! Your fur babies are welcome to make themselves at home! I’m totally fine with pets on the furniture, whether they want to snuggle up on the couch, nap beside me, or get all the cuddles they want. In my home, they’re family, and they’ll be treated like it! 🐶🐱💕 My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, your fur babies will receive plenty of love and attention
“He was absolutely amazing and sent pictures all the time with updates. We had left our frenchies with him for two weeks and they came back super clean and happy! I am definitely going to be using him again”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Isle Beach
Laura and Elijah are kind and engaging people who, along with their dog, Buddy, welcomed my dog, Lizzie, into their home. They treated her as they would theirs and communicated daily with pictures and text. Laura asked good questions and answered all of mine when we met before the boarding dates. I highly recommend Laura, Elijah and Buddy!
Shannon & Miguel were awesome with our Pebbles. She usually has anxiety after a stay with a sitter, but this stay, she was a happy and content dog during and after her stay. We can't say enough wonderful things about them. They constantly stayed in touch with updates, photos and videos. Happy fur baby = happy owners❤️🥰🐶
I would absolutely have Shannon and Miguel watch Sandy again! Shannon was amazing about sharing frequent photos and videos, which was so comforting while I was traveling. Their home is immaculate, yet Sandy was immediately made to feel like part of the family—even being welcomed onto their bed. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was happy, comfortable, and truly well-loved. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ocean Isle Beach is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $87 per night.

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.
94% of sitters in Ocean Isle Beach 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 Ocean Isle Beach home-away-from-home, 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 Ocean Isle Beach.
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 Ocean Isle Beach 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 , 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 .
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.
