“Emily was easy & responsive and was so caring toward Stevie. Stevie also really enjoyed lounging in the spacious backyard. Stevie & her humans enjoyed her stay with Emily!”
“Mariel was very responsive and helpful when watching our dog for a 5 day trip. Lots of photos and updates which were much appreciated. Will definitely use Mariel and Teresa’s services again!”
“Kimberly was great to work with. She was flexible and responsive. We had to adjust our drop off time and she made it work with a busy holiday schedule. Wednesday was welcomed enthusiastically and made herself right at home. All around we had a great experience and I highly recommend Kimberly to all the dog parents.”
“Really happy to have left my dog in Sarah’s care! She was very communicative and shared updates and pictures while away. I’d definitely book again. Thanks!”
“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!!”
“We loved our return stay! Lori takes such great care of our pups—whether it’s one night or several, we can truly relax knowing they’re in the best hands. Thank you for being so attentive, patient, and accommodating, even with all three of our goofballs this time!”
“Isabella did an amazing job taking care of Pluto. Her communication was top notch. We arranged a meet and greet prior to Pluto’s stay and she was friendly and very responsive. Over the course of my trip I didn’t worry about my dog and his well being because I knew he was being taken care of. We will be back -Pluto & Jessica”
“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!”
“Luis watched my dog for a long weekend in July 2025. His responsiveness, attention to my dog's routine, and warm and welcoming environment were greatly appreciated. His dog, Elvis, is an absolute sweetie! Luis provided plenty of updates/photos and was very patient when my dog let his puppiness get the best of him. We would definitely use him again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alexis! She was a joy to communicate with, always accommodating and providing regular updates on Oakley. We were so touched by her kindness and the genuine care she showed Oakley, making sure he was completely comfortable. Alexis is an exceptional pet sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Jerry creates a great environment for my pups to interact and accommodates their very different energy levels. His own pups are also so well raised and get along well with my own pups. Jerry also updates me throughout the stay with pictures. I feel peace of mind knowing they will be well cared for when they’re with Jerry.”
“Adriann did an exceptional job taking care of my dog, Jack. Adriann was attentive, caring, and ensured that Jack received all the love and attention he needed. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which showed Jack looking happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Adriann for anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. Thank you, Adriann, for your outstanding service!”
“Kelly was fabulous with my two doodles. I had never left them with somebody before and because my oldest dog has sight issues I was very nervous, but Kelly put me at ease immediately. Every day she would send me photos or videos with a little snippet about how things were going. 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.”
“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit 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!”
“We were so please with Genna! Our Willy felt comfortable from the first meet and greet! She kept in contact with us to give us updates and I could tell our baby felt very calm. Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Genna again and would recommend her services to anyone!”
“We contacted Alex at the last minute to board our dog, Finn. She is amazing!! Her response time was fast, we were able to schedule a meet and greet that same day and she took excellent care of Finn during his stay. She has 2 well behaved dogs that loved up on Finn. He did so well with Alex and we were at ease for our very special trip. She is organized and handles many dogs at a time with confidence and skill. She is good at communicating so we knew how Finn was doing. I highly recommend Alex! We will use her in the future for sure!”
“Taki had a great stay with Millie! She sent lots of updates and paid attention to his schedule. Based on the pictures she sent, she has several nice areas to walk dogs, and Taki got lots of sniff in. Would book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
Paige took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I could tell my dog was comfortable and got a lot of attention and exercise. Paige sent frequent photos and updates to keep me informed on how my dog was doing. Paige was very easy to work with and obviously puts great effort in making sure dogs who board with her have a good experience. I would recommend Paige to others and plan to use her again in the future.
I cannot recommend Erica enough! She took amazing care of our 6 month old puppy, Nugget, for 9 days while we were on vacation, and it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Erica treated Nugget like he was part of her own family, and she kept us updated with messages and photos that made being away from him so much easier. Her sweet dog, Nelly, was also wonderful with Nugget. They played together, helped each other burn off puppy energy, and Nelly was so patient as Nugget learned some puppy manners. It was clear that Nugget felt happy, safe, and loved the entire time he was there. When we picked him up, he was happy and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your puppy for that long, but Erica exceeded every expectation we had. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, attentive, and treats your dog like family, Erica is the one. Thank you, Erica (and Nelly), for taking such incredible care of our little Nugget. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Taylor took great care of Lucy over her 5-day stay. I loved the daily pictures and updates. When I picked Lucy up, she was excited to see me, but not as crazy as she usually is to get back in my car. So it seemed to me like she felt really comfortable with Taylor! I would totally go back to Taylor again.
Adriann took great care of Tonto during his stay. She was attentive, patient, and clearly put in extra effort with him, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible with pickup and drop‑off, which made things much easier on my end. I’m grateful for the care she provided and would book with her again.
This was my first time leaving Kairo for an extended period of time outside of work and with a sitter, so naturally I was a little nervous. From the start, Re’Anna was on point with communicating, attentive to things he needed and kept me updated throughout his entire stay. I received plenty of detailed updates about his walks, eating habits, playtime and overall mood, which gave me a peace of mind being in NY. I will absolutely be booking again. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, transparent, provide plenty of exercise and love not only from her but her kids as well then I highly recommend booking with Re’Anna. I couldn’t say thank you enough for taking care of Kairo!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 2,040 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.
