“We were so lucky Marcia was available for our last minute emergency trip to VA. Our pup had never been dropped off at a sitter or been to a kennel. Marcia helped her feel calm and loved while we were away. She sent plenty of pictures to help ease our minds and gave her lots of love.”
About: I’ve had experience with many types of animals since I was little. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. I also have experience taking care of rodents. I’m a stay at home mom as of right now to a little boy, so I will have all the time in the world to take care of your pets. I would have to work it around his nap schedule but that won’t be a problem at all. While I don’t have a fenced in yard, I can take any animal in my care for walks if it’s needed. I also have a loving cat named Ali to keep any animal that’s with us company.
“Abigail was a wonderful sitter! I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates often. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be using her as a sitter again.”
“We had a fantastic experience! Our fur baby is extremely anxious and had a great time. Christen communicated regularly and sent pictures. This is was first time using Roover and are so happy we chose Christen!”
“So happy we found this loving family, our hyper baby not to calm around to many people but she was very comfortable with them, she made some new friends so we're definitely looking forward to more visits/stays”
“Alex did a phenomenal job from drop off to pick up, he was super flexible and thorough. Our dog stayed with Alex over the weekend and we gave him a detailed list of our preferences. He went above and beyond by sending update photos of our dog multiple times during the day as well as sent us texts to keep us up to date. Just phenomenal! Thank you Alex.”
“Catrina is very personable and her dogs and cats were friendly. Nella seemed to fit right in within the first day. There were plenty of text and photo updates each day. I could tell on the day I picked her up that Nella was very happy. Would recommend and will definitely use Catrina’s services again.”
About: I have taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a little girl. I have had to give medicine to them. I have also taken care of young, old, and high anxiety furry friends. They deserve love and care while you’re away. I work during the week 8am-5pm Monday- Friday (sometimes I get off early on Fridays). I also work right around the corner from where I live and get a hour lunch. I can easily let them out to go potty and play with them especially after I get home. I am off on the weekends so I can definitely be with them all day then. I have a fenced in yard. I have 1 dog and 2 cats to keep your fur baby company! I also have a nice comfy crate as well as a baby gate if needed.
About: Hi! I am Christy! I’m married to Jefrey, and we have 3 lively, happy children who love dogs! We currently have no dogs ourselves but we have do have chickens in a coop. I’ve grown up with dogs and provide care for friends pets when they need. We love to provide people with trustworthy, loving care for their pets and know how important that is. I am comfortable with daily medication giving. Although I will be the only one responsible for caring for your pets, we do ask that all dogs be friendly with children and we make sure our children respect dog boundaries. We have a large 6ft privacy fence in the back yard with the front and sides of the fence being privacy fence, and the back part of the fence is chain link. The dogs will be free to go in and out throughout the day as they please. I recently had to leave my job to stay home and care for my children, so I have plenty of time to be home and take care of your pets while you are away! In the morning, we would get up and let the dogs outside to go potty and get some fresh morning air. They will have plenty of opportunity for cuddles or playtime throughout the day, and will be able to go in and out as they please. I have three children who love animals. All dogs must be child friendly, and I will make sure that my children are respectful of the dog's boundaries. We have a fenced in back yard and plenty of space for them to run and play.
“Cynthia was amazing! She was very loving and played with Prada, she introduced Prada, her boxer and son they all had a great time. She sent me photo and text updates. i would recommend Cynthia to anyone one.”
“My cat Pumpkin feels very comfortable (sometimes too comfortable lol!!!) at Daniel's place. I have no worry about her well-being while I am on vacation. This is my second time that I boarded my cat with Daniel and I highly recommend Daniel. 🐕🐈🐾”
About: I have been around for 19 years and have owned a pet every single one of them. I have nursed my childhood dog from his rescuse up until his trip to heaven. I adore taking care of my babies I have right now both dogs and cats. I have given my most recent kitten her shots and have been able to teach almost all my pets simple things like sitting and staying. I love spending time with animals and would appreciate time in caring for yours. I am available all day on weekends and during the weekdays I can come in early in the morning to Feed, Walk, or any other Care you would like extended to your pets. I get off work around 3 and can show up to your residence at 4:00 or anytime after for Bed Time, Sitting, Walks, Feeding, and anything else you would like done. I can stay and entertain your animal in your home, keeping them fed and safe. I am fairly active so taking trips to the park and going on walks is always a welcome activety. In the event I am asked to care for your pet in my home I myself have 2 kittens and 2 rooms in the event that they get scared. My kittens are very outgoing and love playing with eachother so I see no problem. My male kitten is not sexually mature to be neutred yet but in a few weeks we have an appointment set up. I will update this when he gets fixed.
“Hannah did an amazing job with our dog Benny. She sent photos often and answered quickly any time we had questions. She provided a large back yard as well and took him for walks which he loved. I would 100% book with her again for future reservations.”
About: I have a German Shepherd myself, so I understand big dog needs. I provide patient, loving care for all pets—puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I work full-time 10–6 but have 30-minute breaks to check in. I’m fully available on weekends for walks, playtime, cuddles, love, and quality pet care. I have a large fenced yard for safe play, a friendly German Shepherd, and a peaceful neighborhood perfect for fun, relaxed walks and outdoor time.
“I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time in a new place. Brittany and Matt were great with Ghost, he can be a handful with his anxiety and they were patient and understanding. They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”
About: I have had dogs all my life! I started watching other people’s animals when I was 15 and I also worked on a farm during that time. I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years and have a keen eye when it comes to dogs! I rescued my own dog almost 4 years ago and life has been great with him! I would give your animal the same care I would give my own! And let me tell you … my boy miiight be a bit spoiled! I currently work Monday through Friday and I am away from the house 8-5. On weekends I would be able to give the pups my time and attention. I am very active and enjoy bringing my dog on quiet trails or out to the park. My dog River is a chihuahua mix that is very good with other animals. If I am to come to you, it would either just be me or River (my dog) and myself depending on what your animal is most comfortable with! You and your home will be treated with respect at all times. We give lots of snuggles and scheduled feedings, and I am fine with administering medication. Your dog will feel like they are on vacation when they are with me!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tarawa Terrace
Olivia was very easy to communicate with and attentive to all of my dogs needs. She made Silas stay away from home very fun and relaxing, making sure all of his usual dietary, exercise and playtime activities were met as well as providing him extra attention and affection. She also regularly provided updates and pictures showing he was having a fun time in her home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for dog sitting outside the home.
Marcia was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Biscuit! We were away on a family vacation in Topsail, and unfortunately our rental didn’t allow puppies, so leaving my baby boy behind was definitely hard for me. Marcia made me feel so much better the entire time. She was extremely communicative, sent me lots of pictures and updates, and even FaceTimed me when her internet was down so I could still see Biscuit! 🥹❤️ It meant so much to know he was being loved and well taken care of while we were away. I felt completely comfortable having him with her and would absolutely recommend Marcia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby. Thank you so much, Marcia! 🐾❤️
Talia was amazing with my two dogs (a Labrador Retriever and a Shih Tzu)! From the very beginning, she was great at communicating and even arranged a meet-and-greet so everyone felt comfortable. This was actually my dogs first time being watched at someone else’s house, anytime we are out of town they are cared for at home our home with some friends watching them so I was a little nervous at first using Rover for the first time but Talia made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and messages, which was really great!My dogs had an absolute amazing time playing with her dog, and it was clear they felt right at home. You can really tell she loves and cares for the pets she watches. My Shih Tzu got sick during the stay and she personally made some rice and chicken to make sure she gets better which she didn’t have to do but that shows you what type of person Talia is!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tarawa Terrace is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 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 220 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tarawa Terrace. 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.
95% of sitters in Tarawa Terrace 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 Tarawa Terrace 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 Tarawa Terrace.
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 Tarawa Terrace 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.
