“Rey was excellent with my big baby, Rock Lee! Our regular babysitter was out of town, so I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new. However, he did great, and Ms. Rey kept me updated throughout our getaway, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you!”
“This was our baby’s first time being boarded and I am glad my mind could be at ease. The process was smooth from booking through pickup. Kody was overwhelmed with being away from his humans but the next day he was happy and playing with other dogs and we were sent pictures to show how he was doing. They were very responsive to texts and made sure they were aware of any special needs/concerns. We will definitely book again!”
“Rena P provided exceptional care for my dog. She is incredibly caring, energetic, and professional. We received consistent updates and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find someone you trust implicitly with your pet, but Rena P is definitely that person!"”
“This is Kash home away from home. Laura and family take great care of Kash. Also he has learned how to socialize with other dogs. I am so glad Kash has a place to go and I not have to worry about his care. Thank you Laura and family.”
“Patricia was exactly what we needed for our Lilly. She was very loving and watched our dog like it was her own. Lilly was immediately comfortable with her and her house seemed very clean, cozy, and welcoming. She sent daily pictures and updates which is just what we wanted. Lilly loved her so much that she didnt even want to leave. We will be rebooking with her whenever we need a dog sitter again!”

“She was very kind of patient with my dog. He is a puppy four months old and she did so well. She loved on him gave him attention, took him on walks, took him to the pond, which was very cute. And took pictures and videos for me so I could see my baby. She is very caring and a really good sitter. I also booked it very late notice and she had no problem with it.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Vander is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $55 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Vander can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Vander 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 Vander.
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 Vander 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.
