“Kasey and Adam took amazing care of Kylo for his first time. Genuinely enjoyed their responsiveness and willing to work with me. Additionally, due to the storm, Kylo had to stay an extra day and they worked with me to ensure we could extend his stay by a day and he was happier then ever when I picked him up. Will definitely rebook and definitely recommend them for all your dog needs.”
“We had such a great experience! Kelli took amazing care of Holly and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her. Definitely will be using Kelli again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog boarding!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Taylor! She was extremely communicative from start to finish, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was easy to work with, reliable, and clearly cared about our pet’s well-being. She kept us updated regularly and followed all instructions perfectly.”
“Milo had such a good time and Michel gave multiple updates each day! I will definitely use her again. I also want to note, he played outside quite a bit with her dogs but didn’t come back smelly which was so surprising! Definitely taking my baby to her again the next time we need a sitter ☺️”
“Stan Lee had a great time at Amanda’s for 6 days. She sent pictures twice a day and kept us updated. This was our first time with her but we’d feel comfortable using her again”
“Patricia was exactly what we needed for our Lilly. She was very loving and watched our dog like it was her own. Lilly was immediately comfortable with her and her house seemed very clean, cozy, and welcoming. She sent daily pictures and updates which is just what we wanted. Lilly loved her so much that she didnt even want to leave. We will be rebooking with her whenever we need a dog sitter again!”
“I had a great experience with Bentley’s stay! She took such good care of him, sent plenty of photos to keep me updated, and communicated really well throughout his stay. She was also very understanding, patient, and accommodating, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him in her care. I truly appreciated the updates and knowing Bentley was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to watch their fur baby! ❤️🐾”
“Waddell has watched my baby multiple times and I have never had any issues. He is always communicative and sends updates. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I KNOW my baby can be a handful but Waddell has never complained!”
“Jess is phenomenal! Excellent and quick communication for a last minute booking. She took such great care of my senior dog and even sent me pictures during the stay. Bonnie wasn’t sure she wanted to leave 😆😅 Thank you again, Jess!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends for several years. I provide loving and patient care and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a dog mom of two myself, I understand how important it is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away, so I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! I work Monday thru Friday but my schedule is flexible and I alternate between going into the office and working remotely (typically only going into the office 1-3 days per week). Because I have two dogs at home myself, my schedule is already set up with breaks on the days I’m in the office to allow for potty breaks. I live in a house with a fully fenced in backyard in a safe and quiet location. I do own two friendly golden retrievers myself, but am happy to accommodate your pet by crating mine and/or separating them if your dog is anxious. I will discuss with you what you are comfortable with and adjust as needed!
“Rachel was great! My dog loved her two pups and she sent tons of pictures when I was away. Was so great to know he was taken care of while on vacation. Would definitely use her again!”
“Our pups had a great time with Kurt! He sent photos the whole weekend. He even went out of his way to help us out and drive our babies back home after the long weekend! 100% recommend :)”
“I dropped off Basal for a few days for his first time away from me. And Kira consistently kept me updated about him, with her and her daughter taking the best care of him. Even when I picked him up he almost rather wanted to stay with them then come home. Would definitely recommend to anyone who cares about their pup.”
“Dice's stay with Victor was great. We received pictures and comments about Dice frequently and he always seemed to be enjoying himself. I would definitely be using him again!”
“Elisea took Such Good Care of my baby Bella, I was worried because my dog gets separation anxiety really bad, so Im scared to leave her, but Elissa was so kind and patient with her and put my mind at ease that Bella would be ok on the first day I met her! If you love your dog ? and want someone taking care of them that will Love them too, please check my girl Elisea out, you won't regret it?!”
About: As a pet parent to two dogs and a cat, I know firsthand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, and needs. Whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or just want someone to snuggle with, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I’m also a mom to a little girl who absolutely LOVES animals! She’s growing up surrounded by furry friends and shares my love for all things fourlegged. Of course, any interactions with pets are always supervised, and I understand that not every animal is comfortable around little ones. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. You can absolutely expect pictures and updates while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom and full-time online college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Between schoolwork, spending time with my daughter, and caring for our own little zoo, animals are already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m home quite a bit throughout the week, which gives me plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and extra attention. I love having a routine but also understand that every pet has their own schedule, and I’m happy to work with yours! Whether your fur baby needs some company during the day or a little extra TLC while you’re away, I’d love to help! I know every animal is different. Some want to be your shadow all day, and others need a little time to warm up. I’m happy to give them whatever space or attention they need. I’ll always make sure introductions are done carefully, especially with my daughter and our pets. I also know how nerve racking it can be leaving your animals with someone else. I’ll follow whatever routines or instructions you leave me, and I’m more than happy to send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rex
Amber & Brendon were super easy to communicate with and they sent me updates and photos of my boys! I can tell my boys had fun at their house and when I had to extend one more day, they were understanding and accomodating! I know my boys would love to go back to see them again next time Mommy has to go out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 379 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Rex can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rex 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 Rex.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rex. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Rex 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
