“Stacey was wonderful with our dog! She watched her for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. Stacey kept us updated at least once a day and sent lots of pictures of them enjoying different activities together. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. We really appreciated the communication and care she provided, and we would definitely use Stacey again!”
“Sharon was wonderful with Gracie! She was incredibly communicative and sent pictures and video of my dog throughout her stay. I felt totally confident that Gracie was in good care and getting plenty of love and attention while I was away. I’d happily recommend Sharon and I’m sure I’ll be calling on her again!”
“Kimberly, Dustin and their son are amazing! They took such great care of our Aussie and I couldn’t recommend them enough. They sent lots of photos, walked, played and snuggled with our dog as if she was their own. They have a Aussie named scout who got along with Lily great and helped get her energy out. They were super accommodating for our early departure and late arrival which we truly appreciated. Again can’t recommend this family enough for watching your dog we will be rebooking them in the near future!”
“Rajita did a great job taking care of Tank. It was our first time using Rover. Since it was for a full week and during the holiday season, I was a little nervous. Rajita was very responsive amd we were able to do a meet and greet with her dog in advance of the booking. She sent pictures on a regular basis during our trip and I could see Tank was having fun with the other dogs. We will definitely book with Rajita again!”
“Suzanne and her family are ideal Rover sitters--so welcoming, caring, and communicative. We received frequent updates and pictures of our dog while we were away, and were thankful to have found such a kind and responsible family to care for Roux while we traveled. We plan to book with Suzanne again!”
“Andrew, was AMAZING!! Kept me informed, sent me lots of pics, followed Snoops schedule and instructions. Came home to a happy and healthy pup ☺️ thank you so much!”
“Renee and her family took great care of our little chihuahua. She sent lots of photos which we really enjoyed. We just booked her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Summer's stay with Sonia was outstanding. My wife and I appreciated how thorough Sonia was when she talked with us about Summer spending a couple of nights there. She thought of everything. She asked all the right questions and took the time to answer all of ours. That made my wife and me feel at ease leaving our little girl overnight. This was a big deal for us. We had never left Summer overnight in the two plus years she's been in our family so we were a bit nervous. Sonia removed all the worries which allowed us to have some quality time away. We knew Summer was in good hands. Thank you!”
“Sayaka took great care of our dog. She provided daily updates, with photos, so we knew the dog was enjoying her stay. I would not hesitate to board with Sayaka again.”

From wonderful communication before the stay to pictures and videos during the stay, I felt completely at ease with their stay. Do not hesitate to use Scott and Heather ???”
“Luis is the best! He was so gracious to pick Egypt up from the hotel location and scheduled the pick up with my mom. Egypt saw him and willingly scampered off to his car. He gave her lots of love attention and walks! Luis sent pictures every morning with comments on her day. We look forward to having Egypt stay with him for future dates!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wake Forest
I had never boarded my dog Phoebe at someone’s home so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Melissa was awesome, she was able to accommodate a four night stay with less than 24 hours notice. She’s extremely professional, before accepting the booking she requested vaccination records and actually read them as she required further clarification from the vet so I know that she doesn’t take just any random dog for monetary reasons. Clearly she cares about the health and safety of the dogs in her care as well as her own dogs. When I dropped Phoebe off and saw the fenced in yard and heard her dogs I knew she was about to have a good time, and she did. Highly recommend Melissa and would 1000% trust Phoebe with her again.
Lovely family. We felt comfortable leaving Willow, knowing she would get lots of hugs and love while we were away. We appreciated the photos and videos sent, as well. Special shoutout to Layla, who sang and sent us a ‘happy birthday, Willow’ video, as she turned 8 while we were gone.
If you live in the Wake Forest or Raleigh area, I highly recommend Ashley for taking care of your furry friend! Although our trip out of town was short, she took wonderful care of our dog, Coco. Because Coco is a picky senior dog, he requires a little extra TLC. However, Ashley checked every single box and handled him with the utmost care!! He felt right at home and had an amazing stay. Also, the pictures and updates we got on him were hilarious and so cute! We're already looking forward to working with Ashley again soon for coco, thank you so much!
Nicole is a true professional, and I was incredibly impressed with her from the moment I met her. She clearly has an extensive understanding of dogs, particularly canine behavior, temperament, and how dogs interact with one another. More importantly, she knows how to use that knowledge to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for every dog in her care. Her setup for the dogs is fantastic, and it was immediately obvious to me that she has put a great deal of thought into their safety and well-being. She also just has a wonderful, calm, confident vibe—the kind of person you feel comfortable trusting with a dog you love. Nicole kept in touch with me while Dharma was staying with her and made sure I knew she was safe, happy, and in very capable hands. That peace of mind meant so much to me. I would absolutely trust Nicole with Dharma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to board their dog. She doesn’t simply “watch dogs”—she understands them, and that makes all the difference.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wake Forest on Rover is $40.66 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 1,891 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wake Forest. 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.
96% of Wake Forest 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 Wake Forest 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 Wake Forest 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 Wake Forest.
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 Wake Forest 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.
