Sarah stepped in to take last minute care of my foster dogs even though it was a big ask. They were comfortable, had fun, and she continued their "how to be a good dog in a new home" training, and they came back happy and relaxed! :)

Oakley enjoyed staying with Kenzie!! They were very flexible with us concerning drop off and pick up times. Would definitely board with them again! It's always hard to leave your dog, but we felt good leaving her with Kenzie. A very positive experience all around.

Samantha and Christopher were absolutely amazing with my two GSDs! They took such wonderful care of them, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Every picture they sent showed both of my dogs looking happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which meant the world to me. My dogs have separation anxiety, so leaving them is never easy, but Samantha and Christopher made the entire experience so much less stressful. It was clear they were patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about making my pups feel safe and comfortable. I'm incredibly grateful for the love and care they gave my dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of my babies! ❤️

About: I have multi-dog household experience. There has always been at least two dogs in my house growing up, they’re my favorite animals. I have a chocolate Labrador named Whiskey, and a Schnoodle named Max. My chihuahua sadly passed away. I love to meet and have other dogs in my house. I’m comfortable administering oral medication if needed. I’ll send daily photo updates. I’m a stay at home mom so there’s always time to care and play with our furry kids. I wake up between 6-8am and go to bed by 10pm. When I need to leave the house to run errands, I don’t take longer than 3 hours at a time, so I make sure my pets are taken outside for potty and water breaks. There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.

About: I volunteer regularly at a local animal shelter and have fostered many pets through NC Seaside Animal Rescue. My dream is to turn my passion for pet sitting into a full time career because nothing brings me more joy than caring for animals. As a local elementary school educator, I’m a trusted and responsible caregiver. When I’m not caring for pets or teaching, you’ll often find me exploring local parks or volunteering at the shelter. I will send regulate pictures and text updates and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! My schedule will be fully open for the next few months. All of my services will be avaliable morning, afternoon and night time. (Depending on what is needed)! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special needs—while giving lots of love, attention, and playtime. I also keep your home safe and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for. If boarding your pet at my home, I create a calm and welcoming environment tailored to each pet’s personality. Since I don’t have pets of my own, your pet will have all the attention and space they need. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, and I keep a close eye on their health and wellbeing throughout their stay. Whether in your home or mine, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.

Maria was fantastic! She spent time to get to know Apollo before the appointment and asked all the necessary questions to make sure he was as comfortable as possible and she knew all his info and habits! Even when Apollo was restless and would not sleep being that it was his first time away from home, Maria stayed up with him on the couch so he was able to snooze. A great home and a warm pet owner I wouldn't think twice before leaving my little guy with Maria again

About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend.

About: I’ve taken care of answer for as long as I can remember, I grew up with big and small dogs. I used to volunteer and a veterinarian clinic near my home where I would help in the after care of animals once they got out of surgery and making sure their food cages was clean and the food and water was full. It’s not a secret that I’m a marine, but considering my job I have pretty flexible hours and will always put your animals health and wellbeing first. I stay in the barracks so we’re not allowed to have animals there, but if push comes to shove I can work with duty to see what I can do. If it’s in the clients home then I can provide better care and services for your pet.

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.

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 Dog Boarding - Tarawa Terrace

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Tarawa Terrace on Rover is $35.52 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 220 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tarawa Terrace. About 85% of Tarawa Terrace sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
