“Carol and her family were very welcoming of Remy and they took him in right at the last minute as another dog sitter did not work out due to other dogs being a little aggressive. Carol and her family took a risk having a new dog that has not been introduced to their dog and I am so grateful of that. When I came back to pick up Remy they had nothing but compliments of how well behaved my dog was as I knew my dog is very well behaved and gets along with everybody. I highly recommend Carol and her family for anybody looking for a dog sitter.”
“Allison has watched Mia for me a few times and I always trust that she is in good hands! Allison had some personal things come up before Mia’s stay with her, but was extremely communicative and flexible with me on figuring out a solution instead of me having to find another sitter!”
“She was so kind and patient with me (even though I was a bit of a spazz and running behind, despite knowing about this trip for a while lol). She treated my Khlo Khlo with so much love and care. It was my first time ever leaving her with someone outside of family, and I was nervous, but she made me feel totally at ease. I chose to do boarding instead of frequent drop-ins and I’m so glad I did. It was comforting knowing Khloe was with someone rather than waiting alone for visits. I love that she took the time to check in and let me know Khloe was doing well and being the best girl. Even sent me the cutest picture of her snuggled up looking cozy and comfy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly highlyyy recommend! 💕🐾”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Once again Arthur has taken amazing care of Cass. Including working with her on her walking manners outside. Thank you for the extra time and attention you have given her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alexis! She was a joy to communicate with, always accommodating and providing regular updates on Oakley. We were so touched by her kindness and the genuine care she showed Oakley, making sure he was completely comfortable. Alexis is an exceptional pet sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Yamy & Alfonso the absolute best pet sitters! My precious Leo was super happy, loved, cared for daily. Communication was beyond excellent and I felt super happy and relieved on my trip. Since I knew my baby Leo was in great hands. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”
“Camila and Lino are always great with Copper. I know my pup will be safe with them and he will have a great time. They always provide beautiful photos and updates, so I know Copper is doing great.”
“Tayler was a wonderful caretaker for my pup. She sent me pictures, sent updates, and answered any questions I had! I would 10/10 recommend her for anyone looking for an animal sitter!”
“Mandi was great with Riggs! She provided updates and videos making us feel very comfortable leaving our pup for the first time. Riggs loved playing with her dog, Cane and enjoyed her fenced in yard. He came home a sleepy pup. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Our experience with Ashley&family taking care of Bruno, was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the moment Bruno arrived, we felt completely at ease. She was truly amazing with him, treating him like her own. He was clearly given tons of love, attention, and exercise during his stay. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and full of great energy, which is the best sign a dog owner can ask for! Finally, we have to emphasize her extreme flexibility regarding our check-out time. Our travel plans had an unexpected delay, and Ashley was incredibly accommodating and understanding, making a potentially stressful situation completely stress-free for us. We are so grateful for her willingness to work with our schedule. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her for Bruno again!”
“Brianna did an amazing job taking care of my 6-month-old puppy! She clipped her nails and took such great care of her. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me know how she was doing. She seemed to have such a great time with her! I really enjoyed the entire experience, from booking with Brianna and meeting her to having her care for my puppy. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. I’m so happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone looking for an amazing sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Karisa was great! she made sure to send pics and videos of grace, and kept me updated! Also grace had a great time with the other dogs and kids. She was very accommodating when i needed her an extra day! She is the best!”
“Annamaria takes excellent care of your pets. From the frequent photos and videos she sends, you can see they are well taken care of and have a great time with her and her family. I’m glad she sends many updates, it gives peace of mind.”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with Mavis! This was a stay of over a week, and I immediately felt at ease knowing Mavis was in good hands. Amber was willing to take Mavis even though it was her first time being away from me and she was still working through some anxiety as a recent rescue. Amber went above and beyond to make sure Mavis was happy, comfortable, and having fun—from trips to the dog park to letting her sleep on the bed with Amber and her two sweet dogs, Tootsie & Gilly. Mavis got along amazingly with both of them! Amber was also incredibly communicative, sending pictures every day and responding quickly to messages. I would absolutely recommend Amber (and Tootsie & Gilly!) and will definitely book with her again whenever Mavis needs a sitter. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! ❤️”
“Daisy had an amazing stay at Daria’s - she was right at home there! We’re so grateful for the attention and care Daria provided Daisy. I’m pretty sure Daisy misses her already.”
“Kordula took excellent care of my dog. She was very communicative throughout the stay, regularly sending pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about our dog. I highly recommend Kordula and would definitely book with her again!”
“David was super communicative and considerate throughout my dog’s stay! I had never left my dog anywhere for so many days but David answered my endless questions and provided daily updates throughout the duration of the trip. Highly recommend and looking forward to working with him again.”
“Had to book a last minute boarding for my sweet tender and Nicole was very responsive throughout. I’ll definitely book her again, I could tell tender had a lot of fun with her”

Kerri was wonderful with Charlie! She was super communicative throughout his stay and sent lots of great pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. The best review, though, came from Charlie himself—when we brought him back, he was so excited that he ran right up to her! It was very clear that he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for with Kerri. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s somewhere he genuinely enjoys being. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
This was my first time using Rover. Nicole accommodated Mocha and I at the last minute and I thank her so much for helping us out. Nicole and mocha got along very well. Dropping off and picking up Mocha went very smooth. We had no problems. I will definitely be using Nicole again.
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Wake Forest is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 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.
There are 1,928 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wake Forest. About 93% of Wake Forest sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
