“I was worried cause Haushi is a nervous mess usually, but she was right at home with this family! I was away for almost 6 days and it was so reassuring because Lannette sent photos of Haushi every day, sometimes twice a day! Haushi was very well cared for and was much loved by Lannette, her husband, their little girls, and their two pups! Thank you so much Lannette and family for making Haushi a part of your home!!!”
About: Hi! I am Christy! I’m married to Jefrey, and we have 3 lively, happy children who love dogs! We currently have no dogs ourselves but we have do have chickens in a coop. I’ve grown up with dogs and provide care for friends pets when they need. We love to provide people with trustworthy, loving care for their pets and know how important that is. I am comfortable with daily medication giving. Although I will be the only one responsible for caring for your pets, we do ask that all dogs be friendly with children and we make sure our children respect dog boundaries. We have a large 6ft privacy fence in the back yard with the front and sides of the fence being privacy fence, and the back part of the fence is chain link. The dogs will be free to go in and out throughout the day as they please. I recently had to leave my job to stay home and care for my children, so I have plenty of time to be home and take care of your pets while you are away! In the morning, we would get up and let the dogs outside to go potty and get some fresh morning air. They will have plenty of opportunity for cuddles or playtime throughout the day, and will be able to go in and out as they please. I have three children who love animals. All dogs must be child friendly, and I will make sure that my children are respectful of the dog's boundaries. We have a fenced in back yard and plenty of space for them to run and play.
“Last minute booking. Nice location with a fenced backyard. I received pictures and updates while gone, along with feedback. While Areli is not Carl’s primary sitter, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. Thank you, ma’am.”
“I had an amazing turn out with Aanchal taking on Toby last minute for the entire weekend, welcoming him in full arms, she updated my everyday with pics & general information on Toby, due to this being his first experience with an stranger Toby loved her immediately. She adjusted to his behaviors catering to his needs & making sure he was so happy & comfortable💕 Toby was actually sad to leave her, which just means in such a short amount of time she connected with him knowing Toby & his past with strangers this really made me so proud & happy & I will continue to board with her. Thank you”
“Rebecca is fantastic! My dog is a bit shy, but she was so respectful of his space and helped him feel completely comfortable. She sent constant updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Our Ziggy enjoyed her time at Brittany and Matt's place! She became fast friends with King and another Rover dog. Ziggy came back to us tired and happy, just as we had hoped. They are great communicators and have a wonderful fenced in back yard and easy to walk neighborhood for both play and walks. We plan on having them watch Ziggy again in the future.”
“Samantha is a very loving person and a true animal and especially dog lover!She took really good care of our dog Nugget, she followed all our instructions and she was sending us updates and photos everyday and two to three times per day, something that was such a relief for us. Her dogs became friends with our Nugget and they ended up sleeping all together! We are truly recommend Samantha and we will definetely choose her again in the future!”
“Mitzy didn’t want to leave Jessica’s home. My pup is usually ready to come home when we pick her up from other sitters and or our friend. Mitzy got along well with Jessica’s Belgian Malinois which makes me happy because she is not an easy dog to care for. By the way Mitzy showed her affection towards Jessica’s husband I knew she was well cared. I really appreciate them both. Mitzy seems sad the last few days despite being home. I think she misses her friends.”
“Sarah was fantastic! We definitely felt great leaving our bulldogs her. We received pictures and updates on the babies the entire time. Sarah was very gentle and loving with our animals! We would definitely use her again!!”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were pretty nervous to leave our dogs with a stranger! We have two fur babies and one of them has extreme anxiety and has trouble in larger boarding facilities so we have been looking for other options. We met Brittany and she was so sweet, sent so many photos and videos, even made them homemade treats!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richlands
Christy is so great! First impression just taking my dog to her, I was greeted by the whole family and her kids were so excited to meet my dog; I instantly knew he would be in good hands. Christy had great communication and genuinely cared for Bandit. I felt so assured he was in great hands and not only well taken care of, but that he was loved. Will absolutely book again if Bandit needs the care
Lannette was easy to work with and flexible with drop off when I ran into a delay. Communication was excellent, and she sent daily updates with a photo. Desiree was well-loved and taken care of, and we look forward to trusting Lanette and her famiky with our girl next time we need a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Richlands is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $49 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 220 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Richlands. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Richlands 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 Richlands home-away-from-home, 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 Richlands.
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.
You and your Richlands 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 , 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 .
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.
