“Buffy enjoyed her visits at Katelyn's, from her Meet & Greet right through her stay. The entire booking process was easy and flawless. Kately followed all written instructions, provided speedy, thorough communication and photo updates. We look forward to booking a future reservation with Katelyn when needed.”
“My dog Sterling had a wonderful time with Abi and her daughter. I went over all of Sterli's quirk's like his love of going to bed early. Abi made sure he went to sleep the same time her daughter did. He even had a small playmate later in the week. Abi took great care of him. She took him on car rides to drop off and pick up her daughter from school; I'm sure he loved that as well. The only negative thing for me was I was unaware it wasn't a smoke free home. I could smell cigarette smoke when I dropped him off. I'm sure it didn't affect him time with Abi.”
“This was our boy’s second stay with Donna. We will definitely continue to be a repeat customer. Donna treats our boy as if he is her own. Between golf cart rides, beach walks, trips to the park, etc., she keeps him too busy to be missing home. She sends tons of videos and pictures and my boy always looks like he’s having the best time ever. We love Donna!”
“Danielle was great! She kept our Cat for the day until we could check into our hotel and sent pictures of her checking in! We will definitely use her again if we are in the area!”
“Laura and Elijah couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating with our last-minute booking and pretty high maintenance brand new, 11-week old puppy! They loved her and cared for her as if she was their own pup! We received many photos of walks on the beach and couch snuggles. We could not have asked for a better experience and will definitely rebook with this lovely active, animal-loving couple!”
“I could not have been happier with Katherine. She sent me pictures every day of Lola and I know she gave her all the attention my pup needs. Highly recommend her if you are in need of a sitter for you dog.”
“Lara took wonderful care of our little Teddy! He got plenty of attention and loving from her and her sweet children. I appreciated that she sent pictures and texts to let me know that he was adjusting and doing well!”
“Our girl Weezie was well taken care of!! She loved being with Alecia & Richard as well as their pups! Kept us updated with pictures and messages every day! Will definitely use them again 🩷”
“Atina is absolutely wonderful! She is very easy going, super kind, and has a home specially set up for older dogs. Communication was great and our dog settled in easily with her!”
“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Izzy had a great time, came home and laid around for a couple days. I know she got lots of exercise in during her stay, as a big puppy she needs that. Jen kept us updated and sent pics and videos of our girl, much appreciated.”
“Trina is terrific. Our older lab spent a week with her and loved it. She sent us daily pics and notes of how Brooke was doing. She has a fenced in back yard that Brooke loved and her own dog is very sweet and got a long great with our dog. I highly recommend Trina if you're looking for a wonderful dog sitter”
“This is the first time I’ve left my dog Lucy with anyone since adopting her and Celeste and Joe took such great care of her. They sent me updates showing how comfortable she was in their home. Highly recommend them and happily will let Lucy stay with them anytime I need to go out of town without her.”
“Melissa is amazing and took wonderful care of my dogs! One of my dogs has a heart condition and takes medication. Melissa was so attentive and made her very comfortable. She is flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up times which was very helpful to me. My dogs were so happy at Melissa's house. She loved and cared for them like her own. I will definitely be booking with Melissa again!”
“I couldn't be happier with the experience Maizey, Miles, and their nervous dog parents had with Yueqian. She was very friendly and confident with the dogs. She followed all of our somewhat odd feeding and medication instructions with no problems. Because we were staying nearby with a large group in a no pets rental, we had asked to take the dogs on outings throughout our stay. Yueqian was very accommodating. Maizey and Miles were always happy when we picked them up and happy to go back. I highly recommend Yueqian as a dog sitter and would definitely use her again.”
“Family friendly home. Fenced yard and clean. My girls were taken great care of, and I was updated through my vacation. I would recommend Amy and will be booking again.”
“Christy was amazing! Her home is welcoming and set up for pups. She had a couple other dogs when I took Kelso, and she was great with identifying the personalities and handling their needs. I have an older dog and she went out of her way and put mats down on the hardwood floors when his legs were tired. She kept me informed with messages and pictures the entire visit. It was an exceptional experience for the Kelso and me!”
“Stella took great care of my girls (a Boston terrier and a “Velcro” Dalmatian) for a week. It was a last minute booking and she communicated so promptly and professionally. She even offered a meet and greet which made me feel even more comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. Stella had a great yard for them to play in, and updated us with pictures and videos nearly everyday! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust and feel like their babies were made feel right at home! Thank you Stella!”

John was amazing with my two dogs! One of my pups can be a handful, but he was in great hands with John. My other pup is a total belly-rub fanatic, and she got all the love she could ask for. Highly recommend John—he clearly cares about the dogs he watches! I would use John again in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sunset Beach on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 218 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sunset Beach. 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.
94% of Sunset Beach 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 Sunset Beach 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 Sunset Beach 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 Sunset Beach.
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 Sunset Beach 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.
