“John and Zena took THE BEST care of our little guy, Henry. We requested care last minute, and even with a family wedding happening, they communicated quickly to confirm and send all the info we needed to get him to them. They have a beautiful, sprawling backyard which is very pet friendly. We received updates of how Henry was fitting in with their pooches and some pics of his stay. This is the first time we’ve left him with anyone other than family or a neighbor and it was an extremely positive experience.”
“Second time leaving Jeff with Matthew and Maria and they truly take care of him as if he were their own. Jeff is on his own mini vacation when with them! My favorite sitters!!!”
“Courtney was an excellent sitter!! She has a great setup geared for you pup to have a great time! Max had fun with her dogs and puppy and she shared plenty of photos/videos of Max playing with his new friends. Would highly recommend her. If I travel again, she’ll be watching Max again! Thanks Courtney!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was a wonderful experience! My dog is 12 years old and blind, so at first I was anxious about leaving her under someone else’s care. Jiyali made me feel very comfortable with her listed experience and asking the right questions before dropping her off to make sure she would be comfortable and happy during her stay. She sent frequent updates, and in every photo and video my dog looked so happy to be there! The process was very convenient, and both me and my dog were comfortable with the care she provided and will definitely request her again. I’m grateful to have found someone that could ease my anxiety and make the experience wonderful. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Eugene was wonderful. He was responsive, friendly, and professional, and this isn’t even to mention the physical space that our dog was able to play in! Two acres of a fenced in yard, and our dog was able to chase squirrels to her hearts’ delight. We will definitely be using Eugene again.”
“Beverly is my go to! We had a 3 year break but my fur baby walked right back in to the love like no time had passed. She gives great pictures and updates and daily! It’s nice to know you can go away and come back to your dog had been well taken care of and loved. 🥰”
“Kathleen is truly a gem! I cannot recommend Kathleen enough as a dog-sitter. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely loves animals—which shows in every interaction. Kathleen took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and routines, and kept me updated with adorable photos and messages while I was away.”
“Gail was such a blessing to us for watching Maverick. Her communication was some of the best we've seen on Rover. She sent us pictures and updates daily. Even a goodnight picture of our pup! Will rebook for sure without question.”
“This is Finn's 2nd time going to Melody & Matthew and he absolutely loves it. They make him feel welcome! He loves having other dogs to play with. Melody keeps me updated with pictures and quick replies. When a situation arise, she quickly notified me. He is wore out for the next couple of days after visiting with them.”
“I had several people cancel on me close to my week long trip. Sherry accepted my reservation for my 3 dogs with short notice and kept them safe and happy while I was gone. How wonderful it was not to have to worry about my dogs while I was out of state!”
“Such a great sitter! She made me so comfortable leaving my babies with her and she checked in with me everyday with texts and photos. My dogs felt right at home and were treated like family. Highly recommend Gail for anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Highly recommend Ben and Shannon! This is such a nice family. We felt so comfortable leaving our two dogs and could tell they were in great hands. They kept us updated the entire stay and took great care of our two babies. They made sure to send us pictures the whole stay which included adorable photos of their kids walking our dogs and cuddling with them. They really treated them like family. Our dogs were in the best care there and so loved! My husband and I kept joking that they may not want to come home haha. We will defintely book again!”
“Kristin did a great job watching our dog, Lucky for 3 days. Kristin sent pictures of Lucky walking and getting a belly rub, which he loved. I would highly recommend Kristin to watch your dog (or other pet). Very responsible. Thanks Kristin”

“Michelle is absolutely amazing with my Oreo! I have used her over and over & will continue to use her! She keeps me posted with pictures and videos thru out the stay and I truly appreciate that! She is beyond flexible and helpful! Thank you Michelle & Ace🐾 for taking such good care of my boy!”
“Marie was such a wonderful and caring with our dog Chito. She was very professional and updated us with pictures and messages of his activities. Our dog really enjoyed staying there from the looks of the pictures. From the moment he met Marie, he just took off without a complaint and was very excited to meet her. I would 10000% recommend her to take care of your dogs and I would rebook her again. Thank you Marie! ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in South Mills is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $63 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 of October 2026, there are 718 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Mills. 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.
96% of sitters in South Mills 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 South Mills 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 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 , 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.
