“I have to admit, I had never used rover it was last minute. My usual boarders we're full, but i came across Valerie and her profile made me take that chance. Im so glad i did she was amazing! She sent pics everyday, she made my trip more relaxed and i was at ease. I will use her services again my dogs loved her.”
“I hesitate to give a great review as I want to be sure Sharon is always available for my Molly but that would not be fair so here goes. Sharon was fabulous. My old Jack Russell terrier needed a place to stay for three days and after several bad visits with others we found Sharon thru a neighbor. She communicated very well and sent pictures daily. I will definitely be using her again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We have nothing but praise for Scott & Heather. They took such great care of our pup and loved on her. We received lots of amazing pictures throughout our time away. I think our pup had more fun on her "vacation" than we did! Will definitely rebook with Scott & Heather on our next vacation!”
“I've tried several Rover dog sitters and Alcino is the best. They take your dog in as one of the family. No spending long hours in a crate. Just jump in and feel at home.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”
“Jeremy and family are excellent. We got stuck on our last boarding and had to add an extra day due to a problem with flight delays. We appreciate the flexibility. Kirkby has a great time interacting with his large dogs and always comes home a tired, happy puppy 😆”
“Suzanne was awesome. I would highly recommend her watching over your pets. She kept in contact with me throughout the day and sent me pictures of my puppy. I could tell that my puppy really enjoyed his time with her. She deserves 10 stars 🌟”
“Stacey did an awesome job watching our pup! I know our dog was at ease & comfortable with her which was super important to us. She would communicate with us throughout the day & send us many updates which we loved. Our dog can be a handful meeting other dogs and isn’t the best on the leash but Stacey did great with her! She gave her lots of loves and cuddles too which was so appreciated while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!!”
“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!”

“Paige and her son were wonderful petsitters for Sally over the holidays. She was spoiled with regular walks, lots of playtime outside, extra brushing and special treats. Paige sent regular updates, and I could see from the photos that Sally was comfortable and happy. Looking forward to rebooking a stay for Sally in the future.”
“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!”

“Cris and Katty have been lifesavers. Mia had a fantastic time at their home and they took great care of her. We have had several travel issues and canceled flights due the storm. They’ve been super accommodating and helpful and offered to keep longer than expected.”

This home was perfect for my dog! They were so attentive and caring for my disabled dog and I could tell they gave her lots of love. They responded quickly and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was gone. I highly recommend them and will book with them again.

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!!

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.
