“Leo had a great time at Amanda’s. He enjoyed playing with other dogs and running around in her backyard. She does have a huge back yard. When we picked him up, he went back to Amanda and her mom to get more cuddles n hugs, which definitely indicated he had a great time.”
“Evie and Fritz took amazing care of my dog, Moose, while he stayed with them for a week. They were kind, caring, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs, and Moose absolutely loved his time with them. I also appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and communication throughout his stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Evie and Fritz to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive pet sitters, and I would happily book with them again!”
“Awesome sitter! Definitely will book again in the future. Compared to most sitters, I could definitely tell from pictures of his stay that my pup was much happier with Miyu! She was able to provide him with the perfect amount of attention.”
“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Tracy was so warm and welcoming. My pup felt comfortable with her right away. She sent daily pic updates; which we really appreciated. I felt secure knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of and receiving lots of attention ☺️”
“Vanessa was incredible! It was so nice to feel comfortable leaving Piper knowing she was with someone that really cared for her. Vanessa was so good to send pictures and keep us posted on how she was doing. And in-spite of cancelled flights and not being able to pick her up on time, Vanessa was so willing to work with us! We will be back!!”
“Jade was great again! We navigated having some overlap with another guest and spent time getting the dogs comfortable with each other. I appreciated her thoughtfulness to call it out and spending extra time to do so.”
“We enjoyed our trip and David helped. He sent daily updates and photos. His attention and setup worked very well for our 2 dogs for 5 days. We have already recommended him to people we know Thank you David”
“We had the absolute best experience with Marilyn watching our dog, Bleu, over the past few days! From the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. We received constant updates, adorable photos, and sweet messages that made us smile every day. It was so clear Bleu was not only well cared for but loved—he got treats, snuggles, and tons of attention. Marilyn truly treated him like family. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pup, she’s it! We’ll definitely be booking again. 💙🐾”
“Erin did great with my anxious Aussie raised in quarantine! He had tons of fun playing with her dog Lani in their giant yard. Erin also sends plenty of updates. My dog has never been boarded before but did really well with her.”
“Remi is an anxious dog but seemed to enjoy/was comfortable during her time at Julia’s! Julia sent a ton of pics each day so I was never worried about how she was doing. We’ll definitely be using her again! :)”
“Kate & her family have now several times hosted our pup Willow and we are so thankful for their hospitality and care! Kate’s school-age daughters are so responsible and proactive in their involvement (helped provide a once-daily medication to our pup) and also have fun teaching tricks! We are so lucky to have found Kate in the area.”
“Bruna was so friendly and great with my dog. She was very accommodating and I felt like she was the perfect sitter. Our booking was a little last minute and I really appreciate her for making every step of booking her easy and stress free. She updated us daily and was a great communicator. Def would rebook again. Thank you so much!”
“We have left our energetic dog with David twice now and are so grateful for his care! He sends photos of their walks and adventures and has been so flexible with drop off and pick up (especially when our flight got delayed and she needed to stay an extra night!). We appreciate David’s family welcoming our dog in for the week and look forward to having her stay with them again!”
“Would love to have Amy watch my dog again! She is reliable, responsive, and accommodating. My dog is shy and she made sure to make her comfortable even with a group of other dogs. She also has a great yard for play time. 10/10 recommend Amy!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in University on Rover is $38.85 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 1,645 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across University. 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.
95% of University 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 University 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 University 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 University.
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 University 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.
