“This was our baby’s first time being boarded and I am glad my mind could be at ease. The process was smooth from booking through pickup. Kody was overwhelmed with being away from his humans but the next day he was happy and playing with other dogs and we were sent pictures to show how he was doing. They were very responsive to texts and made sure they were aware of any special needs/concerns. We will definitely book again!”
“Marina was absolutely the best! She kept me updated multiple times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially since this was my dogs’ first stay with her and her dog, Misty. They played until they couldn’t play anymore, and it was clear they had the best time 🐾 We’re already looking forward to their next visit—more like their next vacation ;)”
“Rey was excellent with my big baby, Rock Lee! Our regular babysitter was out of town, so I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new. However, he did great, and Ms. Rey kept me updated throughout our getaway, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you!”
“Honey and Maple absolutely LOVE their weekends at Ms. Rosa’s. Ashley, Ms. Rosa, and her husband are always so accommodating with drop offs, pick ups, medications, etc. every need and request is handled with the most care. We know we don’t have to worry when we travel and have to leave our girls back home. We’re so grateful we found such a great family to take care of ours!”
“We love Jordan and his family so much we make the 30min drive up to Cameron just so our Dusty dog can stay with them. Jordan constantly keeps in touch with videos and pictures & Dusty always comes home exhausted from having so much fun. We can’t recommend them enough, they’ve watched Dusty a handful of times now and Dusty is always excited when we pull up to their driveway.”
“Maya had an amazing time while staying here! Waddell constantly sent pictures and messages throughout the entire time of her stay! He was very friendly and approachable when it came to communication. Thank you so much!”
“Kayla has watched our pups several times, and she has always taken such wonderful care of her. I have an aging dog who is having some issues, and she is so tender and loving with her. Would definitely recommend her any time!”
“Rena P provided exceptional care for my dog. She is incredibly caring, energetic, and professional. We received consistent updates and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find someone you trust implicitly with your pet, but Rena P is definitely that person!"”
“My Dobby got a little sick from stressat drop off and they took such good care of my baby. They got along great and kept me updated on everything. It was also a bit of a short notice so I really appreciated their help. 10/10 would recommend!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Jeongwon took amazing care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I would absolutely recommend Jeongwon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”
“Ashley was great! She kept our Lincoln entertained with the other puppies. She sent pics and kept us updated how he was doing. I’d highly recommend using Ashley if you’re ever in need to care for your four legged friend 🐾”
“Lulu had an amazing time, a constant doggie play date for her. I knew she was in good hands and enjoyed the constant updates while I was away missing her. I will definitely book again for next travel.”
“My two dogs stayed w Kurt while we vacationed out of the country. I was very apprehensive about leaving them, especially my mastiff as he has separation anxiety. Kurt was great! He sent me updates and photos/videos which put me at ease.”
“Jurnee had such a great stay with Zuleyka! She sent daily pictures and provided me with updates about her stay. Her family was very welcoming to Jurnee and myself. I will definitely rebook in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockfish
I had an excellent experience. Caroline took such good care of my senior baby Azariah, and I truly appreciated the love, patience, and attention she gave her. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Caroline again as I had an excellent experience!
They always say dogs are a good judge of character— Sam just walked straight inside Sierra’s house without any problems with trying to get him to go inside. That there itself made me instantly trust her 10x more & to know he would be fine. I typically get anxiety after dropping my dog off at someone’s house, but this time was different. I was out-of-state for a week & did not feel inclined to be a “helicopter” mom because I just felt that this would go well. She was super friendly, great at communicating, and overall, the best. 10/10 would recommend her, I will, for as long as she allows it, continue going back to her.
Melody was really great at taking care of Sunny. Sunny had so much fun, went on walks, hikes, made some friends, and even got a bath. Melody was really good at communication and sent photos and videos of Sunny every day. Couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Thank you, Melody!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rockfish is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 November 2026, there are 426 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rockfish. 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.
98% of sitters in Rockfish 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 Rockfish 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 Rockfish.
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 Rockfish 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.
