I would highly recommend recommend Martine & Ron!”

I looked forward to seeing the photos and I could tell that they were having fun running around her yard. It is obvious that Kelly loves dogs and I will definitely use her again.”
“Daniela was the best pet sitter for my 5 month old puppy! She was so responsive and sent me pictures everyday.

Will definitely book with her again for our next trip!”

“Adriann was SO communicative, relaxed, attentive, and easy to talk to. My Dalmatian is very attached and her temperament can sometimes be snappy, so I was nervous a couple of days before dropping her off. Adriann put me at easy IMMEDIATELY, and took her on an adventure walk right after picking her up. She handled all Koa’s sassy moments with grace, expertise, and patience. And she is FAST asleep after a couple of happy days there! Would easily and happily book again :-)”
“This was my first time using Rover at all and I’m soo happy we landed with Arden! I felt so comfortable with the situation and am really grateful for her taking the time to meet us and get to know my dog beforehand. Communication was great, receiving photo updates was great, and I was just delighted at how shockingly comfortable my dog was with a new person and new situation. Arden passed the vibe check with flying colors and we definitely hope to work with her again!”

I couldn't be happier with our experience! Daniela was incredibly communicative throughout Otis's stay and sent plenty of pictures so that I knew he was happy and well cared for. It's such a relief to leave your pup with someone you can truly trust. Otis had a wonderful time, and I will absolutely be booking again.
This is the second time Ane has watched our dog, Charlie, and we honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else. Charlie absolutely loves her, and it’s clear that he feels safe and comfortable in her care. We always have peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Ane also sends regular updates, photos, and videos, which we truly appreciate. It makes being away from Charlie so much easier. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Karissa and Robert took excellent care of Mabel. They were diligent, attentive, and loved her like one of their own. Their children also have great boundaries with pets, and we know Mabel received as much love and affection as she wanted. I fully trust Karissa, Robert, and their family to care for Mabel any time!
Taylor was wonderful with our dog! I was nervous about leaving our 5-pound Yorkie, who had never stayed with anyone other than Grandma, but Taylor immediately put our minds at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us know our pup was happy and well cared for. Her apartment was also clean, tidy, and welcoming, which was another big plus for us. We truly appreciated the care and attention she gave our little one, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Boarding - Raleigh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Raleigh on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,986 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Raleigh. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
96% of Raleigh sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Raleigh 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 Raleigh 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 Raleigh.
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 Raleigh 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.
