We love Larissa and so do our pups! Larissa and her family have been amazing with our dogs. We have an elderly dog and a playful dog and they have been so great with both of them. Highly recommend Larissa!

Willow had a great stay with Marcia. She sent lots of updates and photos during the extended stay which was very much appreciated. We were worried she wouldn’t eat much in the new environment but Marcia solved that problem and Willow seemed to settle in nicely! The backyard was a big bonus for her since she loves playing outside. We felt very comfortable with Willow under Marcia’s care and we will definitely book again. Thanks for everything!

Karen was phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout our dog’s stay and was incredibly attentive and caring. She treated our dog like her own, taking her on walks, car rides, and fun adventures around the community. We loved receiving regular updates, messages, and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing she was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter!

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!

I couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Olivia and her husband provided for my dog. Olivia went seriously above and beyond for Kato during his stay (which was a last minute booking for Christmas too). Kato is a bigger, young bully, so he’s not always the easiest to handle. Olivia handled him with ease and treated him like her own family pet. I received pictures, they went on hikes and car rides, etc (above and beyond like I said) 💕💕 I’m so glad we found Olivia. I’ve had some bad experiences with pet sitters, but I had no anxiety or worries during this stay and that’s priceless. I would 100% recommend Olivia and her husband to everyone.

Glory is the best! We had a friend cancel as our dog sitter last minute and were extremely lucky that we found Glory through Rover before our trip! She responds extremely quickly, and took great care of my fur baby! We got pictures of him every day, and I felt so confident that he was comfortable, safe, and happy. We will definitely be using Glory to watch our dog again soon.

Amy was great with Luna. Every picture that she sent Luna looked very relaxed and happy. It’s not often you find someone who wants to take care of your dog the way you do. It made our vacation so much better knowing that our little fur baby was taken care of. I would definitely use Amy again and recommend her to anyone who’s looking for someone you can trust to take care of your fur baby like you would!

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!!

FAQs for Boarding - Tarawa Terrace

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tarawa Terrace on Rover is $35.52 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 225 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 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.

100% of Tarawa Terrace 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 Tarawa Terrace 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 Tarawa Terrace 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 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 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.
