“I found a boarding option for my dog Buster through Rover, and as someone with a sensitive goldendoodle who tends to get anxious and stop eating when I’m away, I was pretty nervous about leaving him. After reading John and Zena’s reviews and doing a meet-and-greet, I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. They took excellent care of Buster, sending regular photos and videos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear they were attentive to his needs and kept me updated on how he was adjusting. He got along great with their dogs and family, and by the end of his stay, it genuinely seemed like he had made new friends, he even went back to say goodbye before we left. Highly recommend John and Zena for anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and responsible pet care.”
“Eric and his family were amazing! They took care of my 10 year old Brin. I was a little worried about my dog being around new friends but they insured me that she did fine. Thank you so much! Would recommend!”
“Morgan did an awesome job taking care of our puppies! Kept me updated daily on how things were going and sent pictures. Most definitely will use her again and refer her to any friends in search of a sitter. Thank you Morgan!”
“Marcia was very accommodating when we asked to extend our dog’s stay. We could tell our dog was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Marcia and her family. Recommend booking with her!”
“Great areas for the dogs! Went above and beyond with the care and comfort of my guys! I have some wild dogs and they had a great time! Not having to worry about them while we are out of town is great!”
“Lauren had great communication before and during. Thankful she was able to accommodate our last minute request. Highly recommend lauren. Thank you again and have a blessed holiday.”
“Christianna was willing to keep our black lab Tazz over the Thanksgiving holiday. We were pleased that Christianna helped us out at the last minute and was flexible about the drop off and pick-up of our pet. The backyard is very large and has a 6' high wooden fence. Tazz seemed happy in all the photos shared over the seven day period. She was happy and healthy when we returned to pick her up. We have discovered that dropping Tazz off in Elizabeth City as we head north to Washington DC adds only 15 minutes one way to the drive. I would definitely leave Tazz with Christianna again.”
“So happy with our experience with Ricardo! He treated our lab just like family, and by the photos I could tell just how much Bailey was enjoying himself at the farm! He got ample play and love time. Ricardo was great about keeping us up to date on how Bailey was doing every day! We were very busy day of and chose to have pick up and drop off which was also very easy! Overall, I highly recommend Ricardo and will use him any other time Bailey needs to be boarded!”
“Maria and Matthew were amazing! They sent us updates and photos throughout the day and took our girl on a walk every day. They took care of her during Christmas and made sure she had a special treat that day. :) we will absolutely be reaching out again when needed.”
“We received several photos and messages and they were able to accommodate an additional day when our flight was delayed. We appreciate the care Aria received. Hope they are available for our next trip in September.”
“5 stars is not enough. I’d like to give Christina 10 stars. I felt comfortable from the 1st moment we met. My Theo has never been anywhere without his family. Theo did Amazing. Theo was a rescue dog and he wasn’t treated well by his original family. He usually never leaves my side in new places. When we went to Christina’s he was Happy and walked away from me to explore. Which was a 1st for him. Theo loves children and Christina has sweet little ones. I got pictures through out the day and updates. More than I ever expected. Super Happy!!!”
“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”
“Wonderful! Mango was very well taken care of, I felt very comfortable having her stay with Shannon. As happy as mango was to see me when I picked her up she was so sad to leave all her new friends ! Will absolutely rebook and do recommend her as a sitter.”
“She was so great with my little boy. I just knew as sweet as my baby was, she would have to end the stay early. But she was so kind and patient with him. She sent pictures and videos of him and what he was up to. He was able to have the same one on one time with her like he would work my regular schedule. He had a ball. If she allows him back, I will definitely book with her again.”
“We have loved taking our dog to Leslie. Every time we pull up our dog gets super excited and it’s obvious that she enjoys being there. Leslie’s house has become her home away from home. I’m grateful we have found a trustworthy sitter who takes amazing care of our dog and loves her like her own. She keeps us updated, has great communication, and is willing to do whatever is needed for your dog. I definitely recommend her!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Mills on Rover is $43.29 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
96% of South Mills 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 South Mills 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 South Mills 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 South Mills.
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 South Mills 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.
