“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.”
“Molly was great! Very friendly and clear communication. Sent pics of my dog everyday. When I picked him up, he seemed right at home at her place. Her cat got along really well w Benny too.”
“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!”
“Elise was amazing!!! Maddie was in great hands and I felt fully confident and satisfied with choosing her as my sitter! Definitely will be bringing Maddie back!”
“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 ♥️”
“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 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!”
“Bailey loved staying at Hannah's house!!! We were more than pleased with the experience. Hannah stayed in touch with us with pictures and kind words throughout the stay. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our schedule (my daughter was having a baby so we were on the baby's schedule, not our own!😊). She treated Bailey as she would her own dog. We would highly recommend Hannah and will definitely be using her services again in the future”
“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”
“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!”
“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 :-)”
About: I’m a dog mom so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog. He’s my buddy and we’ve gone on more hikes and walks than I can count. I trained him when he was a little pup and I cared for him post surgery when he needed a little extra love and support (he gets a lot🥰). I’ve helped my family and friends by caring for their dogs when they go away or get stuck at work. I also volunteer at the animal shelter where most of my time is spent dog walking. Dogs hold a special place in my heart and my dog is my baby so I can promise that I will take the very best care of your pup!💛 I’m flexible with timeframes and requests as long as I have enough notice. I’m happy to help and I can’t wait to meet your pup!😊 Being a dog mom, dog-sitting, and volunteering at the animal shelter have all helped me develop the necessary skills to take the very best care of your pup!
“Definitely recommend! Dawn gave our dog great care and each night would send an in-depth update on how the day went with 20+ photos and videos that she all looked so happy in! Dawn’s dog is also very sweet and played well together.”
“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 ❤️”
“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.”
“ariana was absolutely amazing! she was constantly sending updates (photos and videos) which i loved!! she was quick to respond. would recommend her to anyone! will be using her again”
“What can I say, other than Sterling was well cared for. I could tell he enjoyed his stay by the pictures Rachel sent regularly. Also, when I picked him up he was excited to see me for about 5 minutes. Once he realized Rachel and Mocha weren't coming with us he got sad. Took him all day to come around. 😄”
“Alex was so great with my 2 dogs! We had a meet and greet to introduce the dogs and she made me feel super comfortable about leaving them in capable hands. Very responsive, provided great updates, and I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. I would definitely recommend and will book again with Alex when I need a sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
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!
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!

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.
