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.

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: 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.

Samantha did a great job taking care of Mia for a whole week. She was even able to feed Mia her farmers dog food three times a day. She took Mia for walks and kept her separate from much larger dogs. Mia loved her visit. She also showed us pictures of Mia throughout the day. We felt so much better during our vacation knowing Mia was in good hands.

Very attentive. Our old girl gave him a pretty rough first night. He took great care of her despite her being the messiest girl in the room. I would definitely recommend to take care of your furry friends.

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 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.

About: Hello! My name is Ariel and I’ve owned/grew up with dogs my entire life. They hold an extremely special place in my heart. I’ve dog sat starting at the young age of 12 years old. I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors. It’s something I truly enjoy. I find it to be therapeutic as well. If anything is asked of me that enhances a dog’s spirit, mood, and health it’s pretty rare if I’ll decline a request. I start with building trust with the individual pet and their owner. I believe this is the core of the relationship. When you are on vacation, your pup is as well. Bonding with animals is special. I take this responsibility seriously as I am watching someone’s family member. I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I am available at all hours for needs relating to pet care. I am flexible with availability. I care for pets depending on their specific requirements. I believe in giving a lot of love and building trust. I don’t do anything I wouldn’t do to my own dogs. My pets are spoiled rotten, but live by a routine that benefits their individual needs and happiness. My availability is extremely open and I would plan my personal schedule around my dog sitting schedule. My pup and other 4 legged clients are my top priority. I take my dog out 3 times a day and we we go on a short walk twice a day. Your pup would receive the additional or the same care as my Yorkie Mix

It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.

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! 🐾❤️

This was my first time using Rover and Lynn was amazing? She was very thorough from our first introductory meeting. While I was away she sent updates and pictures to let me know Tank was doing well. I just knew Tank was well taken care of. I hope the next time I need a sitter that she is an available. Highly recommend!

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 Pet 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 September 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 229 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tarawa Terrace. About 82% 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.
