“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!”
“Amanda was great with Albert! He seemed really comfortable and secure. He’s a shy guy so I was happy to see that he opened up so quickly. I would love to book with them again.”
“Mariel was amazing! We had a lot of logistical hiccups on our end and she was so professional and kind. Our dog is older and needs a lot of TLC. Mariel and Teresa were so sweet to her. Highly recommend!”
“Molly did a great job looking after my dog on his initial visit. He was very happy and calm when I picked him up indicating he was in a very comfortable environment while i was away. Definitely will rebook with Molly on next opportunity.”

“Arden was so great with our dog Pocket! She was very attentive, responsive, checked in a ton! Pocket seemed to have a blast playing with some other dogs and hanging outside! He got tons of steps in from all the walks she took him on! We are thankful and highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Rianna was great with Jack! He seemed to really enjoy his time with her. I loved all the photos that she sent me everyday. I would definitely recommend Rianna to everyone. I will be calling her again for Jack.”

“Mary took such amazing care of our pup Rocky while we were on vacation—she kept us consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. She made sure he got plenty of walks and even let him run wild in her backyard, which he absolutely loved!”
“Jasmine did a great job with our skittish kitty Midas. The fact that he started coming from under her sofa was a great sign because he doesn’t trust that easily, so clearly he felt comfortable. She even kept him another half day for us because we ran into mechanical issues with our cat out of town. Would definitely rebook with her!”
“Dawnyea was fantastic with my older dog!! She sent frequent updates & it was clear to see my dog was comfortable around her, I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“I can't say enough good things about Luis! He took amazing care of my dog while I was away. My pup usually gets a little anxious when I'm gone, but with Luis, he was calm and happy the whole time. Luis sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure that pets are comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Laura was FABULOUS with our Chili! She treated him as her own and he has deemed her (As well as her dog!) his new best friends. She is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated with so many pictures and videos while we were away. She has a lovely personality and is most certainly the epitome of a dog person. Thank you Laura!”
“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.”
“Mia was great. She boarded my cat Payton while I went on a family vacation for a week. I was very nervous leaving Payton and she made me feel comfortable and provided daily updates. She was very patient with Payton and me. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
Anna was amazing with my senior dog. I know my pup was comfortable because she ate her food consistently, and never eats for a day or two in unfamiliar environments. With Anna I know she was comfortable, safe, and had lots of fun. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!
Kayleen was amazing! She kept me updated on how my pup was doing and sent photos that made me feel so happy my puppy had someone caring and attentive to stay with. This was the first time we have used the boarding service and Kayleen was amazing! Highly recommended!
Yanke was wonderful and took such very good care of our dog. We will definitely use her again if we can. She was very loving and caring. Our dog was very happy and content when we picked him up, which is a sign of a good stay. Yanke was very consistent and considerate in communicating with us during out dog's stay, giving us daily updates and pictures. We felt good knowing that he was in good hands.
Jessica and Andrew were fantastic! They were able to accommodate an extremely last minute request that saved my trip. They sent daily picture updates and even offered to take my energetic pup to the dog park which I appreciated. Would definitely recommend them and use their services again
Parris is fantastic! This was my first time using a pet sitter for my new puppy, and she exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly organized, very communicative, and sent a good bit of picture updates. She also had no problem administering my dog's medication. My puppy had a great time!
This was our second time booking with Isabel. As soon as our dogs arrived, they were already running right to the back door to play in the yard! Isabel sent frequent pictures and updates and when we picked the dogs up they were thoroughly worn out. She is our go-to sitter and our dogs love her!
Tammy was absolutely wonderful with our puppy. She was caring, communicative, and so easy to work with. I especially appreciated her flexibility when our flight was delayed and she was willing to meet us late for pickup. That meant so much after a long and stressful travel day. I felt completely at ease knowing our 7 month old chihuahua was in such good hands, and I would absolutely book with her again!
I’m so happy I found Paige! It was the first time leaving my dog since I adopted him so I was nervous, but Paige sent regular pictures and videos and it seemed like he was having a blast! I love that she has a secure fenced yard where the dogs can play. Her communication was great throughout the week. She will definitely be my go-to sitter in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Raleigh on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 2,044 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Raleigh. About 94% 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.
