“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”

“First time Rover user and Vanessa was really flexible, which I appreciated. We did a test run for doggy day care for our 2 pups. Went well and the puppies wanted to stay longer! Would def drop our doggies off again.”
“Our second time booking with Emily and her care was nothing short of amazing! She sent us daily photos and videos of my high energy beagle having a great time with the other pups. 10/10!”
“Erin and her hubby are amazing! They took such good care of my pup, sent daily pics and vids, and even administered her meds. My baby girl had a great time on her “vacation” and got along well with Lani. I would definitely recommend them and will certainly be using them again! Thanks so much, Erin!”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
“Marilyn was very accommodating to our dog who has seizures. She went above and beyond for him. Our fur baby had a lot of fun and we felt very secure leaving him with Marilyn so we could have a restful vacation of not worrying. I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby. They will have a blast with pup cups and plenty of furry friends to play with. She kept us informed with a lot of photos and updates. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Lauren was terrific! She instantly put my somewhat anxious Basset Hound at ease when we did the meet and greet - and her backyard is simply a paradise for someone like Fern. Lauren kept me updated throughout Fern's stay, and she also asked me questions about Fern that let me know she is experienced and cares about the animals. Fern didn't seem to be very eager to leave. We will definitely visit with Lauren again if she will have us!”
“Tracy was super responsive to my messages when I reached out to her about boarding my dog. We scheduled a meet and greet which was really helpful and she provided updates throughout my dog’s stay. I would definitely book again!”
“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! :)”
“David was great! Definitely recommend. Dropped my pup off for the weekend (1st time leaving w/someone else) & really felt reassured & comfortable with him watching. Appreciated & definitely will be using & referring when he's available.”
“Cathy was a wonderful sitter! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates and pics, and genuinely connected with our pup. We felt so good knowing our dog was in great hands. Would absolutely book with Cathy again!”
“Kate had an important work activity in the middle of Kai's stay with her and it was a bit of a challenge finding another sitter at such short time. She was willing to cancel her work commitment if we were not able to find Kai a sitter but luckily everything was sorted out at the last minute. Thank you Kate for your commitment.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - University
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in University on Rover is $38.85 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 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 July 2026, there are 1,649 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.
