“Valerie is amazing with my baby. She always sends pics. I call her my baby's stepmom😁. Valerie is always my 1st choice sitter. When she's not available, I'm devastated 💔. My baby absolutely loves her. My baby is blind, but when he hears her voice, he gets so excited.”
“Our dog Archer had a wonderful weekend with Sharon. Sharon provides many pictures during your time away and she focuses on helping your dog feel comfortable. She is definitely is an experienced dog owner and it shows. Sharon does a great job!”
“I'm so happy we found Renee. She and her family have watched our little chihuahua several times. Our baby girls loves them and gives them kisses when we arrive so I know she is well cared with them. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Its tough leaving a furry friend for 8 days, but we always know Nova is well cared for with Scott & Heather! She comes home tired and happy from playing with their kids and other dogs.”
“Meredith was so easy to work with! Highly recommend! Our dogs had their extra special holiday separation anxiety and Meredith was so sweet and caring to them. She really took time to ensure they were settling in as well as possible and kept in contact with us about their behavior.”
“Diana and her family are amazing! Always taking such a good care of Bella and always keeping me updated with cute pics! Definitely recommend them to watch your fury baby!!”
“Amazing stay, daily picture(s) & updates, TONS of exercise playing with other pups. Was able to travel worry free thanks to these two! Thank y'all again and sorry for the late review!”
“I can't say enough good things about Luis! He took amazing care of my dog while I was away. My pup usually gets a little anxious when I'm gone, but with Luis, he was calm and happy the whole time. Luis sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure that pets are comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Elizabeth took such great care of my puppy goose. He’s a 1 year old German Short Haired pointer with a lot of energy but he played great with all her dogs. She was very communicative throughout the process, which helped a lot since this was my first time using the app. She gave me frequent updates and pictures and was very kind. I highly recommend choosing Elizabeth to watch your pup!”
“Bailey was sooooo great. My dog Cody loved her and her family. She was very sweet and helpful as this was my first time using Rover. Thank you so so much Bailey for taking great care of my boy Cody.. Will definitely be using again”
“My family and I were preparing to head out of town for my birthday when we realized, in the middle of all the planning, that we had forgotten to schedule a sitter for Oakley. Like any dog mom would, I immediately went to Rover and was pleasantly surprised to see several sitters available. I reached out to a few profiles, and Rebecca D. responded right away, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Rebecca was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We quickly coordinated a plan for dropping Oakley off, and the process was seamless. When we arrived, Rebecca was already outside waiting for us and gave clear instructions on where to park. She even invited us inside, which we politely declined, but I thought it was such a thoughtful gesture. Prior to our arrival, she also shared information about her dog’s temperament, which I really appreciated. Throughout the weekend, Rebecca kept us updated with photos and videos of Oakley, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. When we picked him up, he was excited to see us, but it was also obvious that he had a wonderful time with her. Oakley came home happy, and we are so thankful for the care Rebecca provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Melissa and Reece! They took amazing care of our two dogs and cat while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. One of our dogs had just been spayed a few weeks ago, and they were especially attentive to her needs, making sure she was comfortable and well looked after. Their property is beautiful and has so much space for the pets to enjoy. Melissa and Reece are kind, responsible, and clearly love animals. We’re so grateful for their help and absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!”
“Elizabeth and Richard were so great with Jett. It was our first time leaving her and they made her feel comfortable and safe. Jett came home a happy tired girl. Thank you.”
“Kerri and her family took such good care of my dog Ollie. He came back home a happy boy! Kerri sent me daily pictures and kept me informed on Ollie’s routine and activities. I highly recommend Kerri and her family.”
“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”
“This is my pet's 3rd boarding with Sonia & Jeff and our experience has been real great and seamless. I received pictures and updates while we're traveling. Jeff had to receive my pet real early in the morning without any problem. It's a real pleasure working with both of them. And I can tell my pet had a great time, too! I'll definitely work with them in my next vacation.”
“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!”

We love when Katie watches our doggie. We know she is well taken care of, comfortable, and gets lots of attention! Even when we have had to change our pets diet, or start new medications- Katie never misses a beat. We love getting picture updates when we are away. Thank you!!
Kerri was awesome to work with. I normally keep my dogs in my home when we go out of town and I had my reservations about taking them out of their normal environment. But I will say going to Kerri's house was a great experience for my fur babies. She was very knowledgeable about my dogs personalities during the meet and greet and welcomed them in her home with lots of love. She communicated with me daily and sent tons of pictures to ensure me that my babies were having a great time. I truly appreciate all her hard work and dedication to making them feel like her own fur babies. I would highly recommend Kerri to anyone who needs a safe and loving home for their babies. I will definitely use her again.
Melissa was wonderful with our two dogs! Right from the start, she was incredibly confident in her ability to handle both of them, which immediately put our minds at ease. We loved that she is so experienced with animals and genuinely cares about their well being. It was incredibly refreshing that she was serious about our dogs being up to date on their vaccinations; it proved to us that she isn't just looking for a quick buck, but truly prioritizes the health and safety of the pets in her care. We would definitely book 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!
Valerie was the perfect sitter for Neo. After meeting her, we knew this was the place for him. She sent pictures daily and reassured us that he was in good care. Neo was in good spirits when he came back home instead of being lethargic and moping around as in times past from other sitters! We hit the jackpot with Valerie and would definitely recommend her. Our hope is that she is able to be Neo’s go to sitter in the future.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Wake Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wake Forest on Rover is $40.66 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 1,891 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.
