Mitzi and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our 2 dogs. Our pups got lots of attention and Mitzi contacted us with lots of photos, videos and updates. We can't thank her and her family enough for their great care. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you again, Mitzi.

Gail is always so accommodating to Cliff’s last minute needs. Cliff also feels right at home there which makes me a happy stress free dog mom while I’m away!

Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!

Laura was absolutely amazing with our pup! 🐾 She sent us daily pictures and videos and always replied to our messages quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she truly loved on our fur baby as if he were her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing Laura was caring for him and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter.

Piper has been staying with Scott and Heather for years. When she arrives at their home, she literally runs to the front door. This last visit, she jumped out the truck window, because , waiting for someone to open the door apparently, wasn't quick enough. They are her second family!

Hannah and Patrick are truly amazing. Our girl is in love with them and their beautiful dog, Bailey. She had the best time. Hannah sent pictures throughout the stay which relieved some of the stress I had leaving my sweet girl. We will for sure use them again. Highly recommended!

Renee was so awesome and helpful in watching our pup Migo on a last minute short notice. She was very responsive, available to meet and even flexible with my schedule, and sent us pictures and updates of our dog throughout the stay. He seemed to have a great time with her and we hope that he can stay with her again in the future!

Dior had a great stay at Marissa & Mosieo’s. They have two small dogs & a fenced in yard so she had play buddies, space & time to run around. Marissa shared a video of pure joy. She made herself at home.

Brian was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! I could not be anymore thankful for finding someone to cat sit for my Rose. He was extremely loving, caring, and attentive to her while making sure she was comfortable and adjusted. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future visits to watch Rose and recommend him to anyone!

About: I have had pets my whole life, from dogs to cats, bunnies to birds. I have a fur baby, Royal, who is 5yrs old and is very playful and gentle, she is ready to make new friends! I am home most days and available to care for and have fun with your loved ones. We love to go on walks around the neighborhood and hang out in the backyard, we love to provide a safe and comfortable environment. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to walk, play and care for your loved one. My family will treat them like they are home. We have lots of walks in the community with several parks to explore. Our fur baby is extremely friendly and would be great company to your fur baby.

Dominic was great with Jazzy. We had a emergency room visit a couple days before drop off and I was kind of worried, but she was in great care. Her wound is almost completely healed, like nothing ever happened. Dominic also administered her antibiotic medicine as well. Jazzy also made two new friends Pepper and Parsley. Dominic was also great with sending updates and pictures of Jazzy during the visit. If you decide to give Dominic a try you won't be disappointed and the dogs will love the backyard, plenty of room to run and frolic and it's fenced in.

Luis is the best! He was so gracious to pick Egypt up from the hotel location and scheduled the pick up with my mom. Egypt saw him and willingly scampered off to his car. He gave her lots of love attention and walks! Luis sent pictures every morning with comments on her day. We look forward to having Egypt stay with him for future dates!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sims

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 977 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sims. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

97% of Sims sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sims landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sims 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 Sims.

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 Sims 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.
