“Kayleen was so sweet and treated our dogs as if they were hers. She had great communication with us the whole time sending texts and pictures. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her as our sitter again.”
“Jerry is amazing with Jack . I always know that Jack is treated like part of the family and well cared for . Jerry kept me updated with pictures and messages . My pup Jack was happy, relaxed, and had fun on his stay . Thank you Jerry!”
“My beagle, Aly, had a wonderful time with Michaela and her sweet doggie, Winnie. I received at least a couple of pics every day and a little note on how my girl was doing. I will be using Michaela again in the near future.”
“Xiaoyu was incredibly caring and loving with my kitties. One of them is very shy and skittish and only lets me touch her — not even my husband can. To my surprise, Foxy ended up letting Xiaoyu pet her and even slept in their bed . That says everything. Xiaoyu was very responsive, kept me updated the whole time, and sent pictures regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed all instructions carefully and treated my cats like her own. I am very grateful ♥️”
“A home away from home for our sweet pup! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to take care of our dog while we were away! Meghan was kind, communicative, and kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. Highly recommend!”
“Alexandria’s communication was amazing, she was incredibly caring and sent tons of pictures throughout the stay. Her dogs got along great with Hamilton and welcomed him into their home without any issues. She was also very flexible with pickup and drop-off times, which we really appreciated. We look forward to booking again!”
“Yamy & Alfonso the absolute best pet sitters! My precious Leo was super happy, loved, cared for daily. Communication was beyond excellent and I felt super happy and relieved on my trip. Since I knew my baby Leo was in great hands. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”
“Luis was amazing with our rescue dog, Zeus. He has major separation anxiety and hates to be left alone. Luis was so accommodating and gave me updates and pictures of our little guy. We will definitely book Luis again!”
“Jessica and Shayne took great care of my dogs and provided updates and pics! They were accommodating with extending the pick up time and I know my dogs were loved on and spoiled during their stay!”
“Hanna was a great host. She took care of my dogs as her own. She would send daily pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her place for dog sitting.”
“Katie was amazing!!! Took such good care of my sweet but anxious little Sophie. Sent me updates and photos everyday and I felt like I had left my girl in really safe hands. I would absolutely work with Katie again!”
“Paige did a fantastic job taking care of my baby! She was extremely thorough and thoughtful in her screening questions since this is our first time using her as a sitter. During our trip, she texted us daily pictures and updates of Dusky! It gave me a lot of confidence in choosing her as a pet sitter. We’ll definitely use her again in the future, thank you Paige!”
“Caroline is amazing. She set up a meet and greet where she went over everything with me and I felt so comfortable leaving Gus with her and her sweet golden, Honey. This was the longest and only second time being away from our 6 month old pup- but I had no doubts that Caroline would take great care of Gus! Unfortunately, he started to have tummy issues right before I dropped him with Caroline. He continued to have issues to the point where there was blood in his stools and Caroline made the right decision to take him to our vet where they boarded him the rest of our vacation and started anti-diarrhea meds immediately- which is exactly what he needed at that point. Caroline texted me each day to see how Gus was doing. I will, without a doubt, use her again (if she’s okay with that!) because she took care of Gus as if he was her own.”
“We love Desiree! I have booked with her a several times and she has always taken the best care for my dog. She was super flexible when my flight was delayed and I had to extend my dog’s stay. Her dog is really sweet and gets along very well with mine. Overall, I would definitely recommend booking with Desiree!”
“Erin came in clutch after our sitter had to cancel due to a family. She was an amazing hostess, gave my dog, lots of love plenty of walks and kept me updated on how he used to. I really appreciate her and I look forward to getting to spend more time with her and Iggy.”
“This was the first time I’ve ever left Zara with anyone outside of my home. But, let me tell you….Zara and I feel extremely lucky to have found and been able to use Lesley for Zara’s stay. Lesley and her family were absolutely amazing and took such good care of Zara. It was clear that Lesley loves animals and takes this “job” seriously. Lesley and her family truly welcomed and treated Zara as their own. It took Zara a while to warm up being in a new environment and all. But, once she did, you could tell she was enjoying herself. Lesley cared for Zara in the same way(s) I do; following our usual eating, sleeping, and playing routines. Lesley maintained great communication with me and provided me with updates and several pictures and a video. All of which eased my anxiety a ton! I can’t praise Lesley and her family enough! I will be booking with Lesley again in the future. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!”
“Dawnye was Very sweet and took care of my doggie very well. Gave updates and photos and and put me at ease to drop my dog with her. This was my first time using this type of service and I was able to find a sitter last minute within four days. Highly recommend her and this app!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
Yamy and Alfanso took great care of our dog! We were able to book on somewhat short notice, our dog got lots of great play time with their dog, plenty of exercise going on runs, we recieved amazing picture and video updates, and they were even willing to administer eye ointment for our dog. Thanks guys and you're the best!
We've boarded our dog Nika with Emily several times over the past two years, and she is always wonderful!! She was able to accommodate an unexpected extra day while in the middle of the stay just this past week. Nika loves the environment at and around Emily's home and loves the attention from Emily. I recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.
We cannot recommend Arden enough. She took amazing care of our Dog and sent a ton of videos and pictures to keep us at ease. If you live in Raleigh, you shouldn’t consider anyone else but Arden if she is available. She was incredibly accommodating and made our pup feel so safe and loved. Thank you so much!!!!
We had a wonderful experience with Isabel! She always sent us photos and updates about Duke. When we went to pick him up, he didn’t even want to leave—he actually went back inside her house! We highly recommend her, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!
Fraggle had a great week with Isabel and Drew! I loved seeing pictures of my boy and how comfortable he was whether sleeping in his own little bed, stretched out in their bed, or cuddled with them on the couch. I very much appreciated knowing he was safe and well cared for while I was away!
Karissa and Robert took care of our 9mo old pup for four days and we could not have asked for a better experience. They were professional, quick to respond, and took the time to understand our dog’s personality and routine. It was clear he felt right at home and I had no doubt that he was being well taken care of. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!
Gina was wonderful! Rory had such a good time staying with her. Lots of snacks and walks. It was really hot the week she was there, and Gina did a great job making sure she was comfortable and not over-exerting herself on their walks. Very thankful for all the cute photos and updates throughout the week as well. I'll 100% be reaching out in the future to get Gina to watch Rory again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Raleigh on Rover is $46.62 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 2,042 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Raleigh. About 93% of Raleigh 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.
