“Martine and Ronald were so wonderful! We had a 10 day trip planned and were nervous to leave Cosmo for that long. They were so kind and took great care of him! We got pictures and updates daily so we could see how he was doing and check in. He loved their yard and getting to relax in the sun. All communication was very quick and responsive, and they were super flexible with our schedule while traveling. They also handled all of his meds and supplement needs without any issues. Cosmo had a great time and would definitely love to stay with them again in the future!”
About: My husband and I have had at least one dog our whole lives. After college, many years ago, I started working in a regular veterinary clinic and an emergency veterinary clinic for approximately five years until starting in my current career field. I have experience in administering medication and caring for dogs with mobility issues both from my previous employment and taking care of my own dogs throughout their lives. My husband is retired and is frequently home throughout the day. We have a 13 year old son who is active and loves dogs also. Our dog, Scout, is an Australian Shepherd mix. We adopted her in 2019. She always enjoys having a friend to pal around with in our backyard or watching the world go by from her window seat in our house. I currently work full time and typically get home around 4:30pm. My husband is retired and is at home for most of the day. My son is also excited to start helping to care for the dogs that we invite into our home. I have a large fenced in yard and our dog gets along easily with other dogs. I do have a medium sized crate at our house if a crate is needed. Our dog does not get crated.
“Jerry is amazing with Jack . I always know that Jack is treated like part of the family and well cared for . Jerry kept me updated with pictures and messages . My pup Jack was happy, relaxed, and had fun on his stay . Thank you Jerry!”
“Meghan was amazing with our pup, Lola. She sent cute updates and communicated really well through the whole process which was very comforting as this was our first Rover experience. Many thanks to Meghan! I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Abby had another great stay with Carol!! Carol was super attentive to Abby’s initial dietary needs, and her progress throughout the week. She gave me regular updates and pictures of her enjoying time at her home and yard. Thank you Carol! Our family appreciates your wonderful care of Abby.”
“Everything about boarding with Evan was stellar. Great responsiveness, listened to all my instructions, inviting at dropoff. The farm is perfect for dogs! tons of fenced in room to roam. Lumi came home super zen and well exercised. Would recommend!”
“Melissa has been wonderful with my cocker spaniel! My puppy was so excited to see her when she came to pick her up for boarding for our second time! She doesn't react like that to many people! Obviously she had been well loved while she was in Melissa's care earlier! I really appreciated the update texts and photos that she sends! I plan to use her again in the near future!”
“I cannot recommend Ashley and her girls highly enough- best dog sitters ever!! Arriving for drop off we were greeted with a custom welcome sign which was the sweetest thing ever. They took the such good care of our noodle we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us! Ashley and her girls made sure he felt right at home and I have no doubt he was sooo loved on. . They made sure he got ample play time and walks. They provided us with regular updates and photos. It was such a relief to know our pup was with a family that loved and cared for him like Ashley and her girls do! He will definitely be back!!”
“Nikki was amazing with Rogue, she sent a lot of photos and videos to let us know that everything was fine, she didn’t hesitate to ask questions about how to give him orders (he barks French). Everything was so perfect ! Thank you Nikki!”
“Mitzi watched over our sweet Pickles on me and my husbands wedding weekend. She kept me regularly updated with cute photos that eased any anxiety for me! I have never done sitting through River before, but Mitzi is wonderful and I would 100% feel comfortable letting her and her family care for my baby boy again!”
“Laura was great with Beau and I believe Beau had a great time with Laura and her family including her dog! I would recommend Laura and I will definitely use her again! She was excellent!!”
“Gretchen is Wonderful! I was not sure what I was going to do because the usual sitter was not available. From the meet and greet and forward, Gretchen made me comfortable as I watched her with her dogs and mine. My pup is tiny so I am always cautious when he is with larger dogs which hers were under 40 lbs but my pup is only 9 lbs and he is a senior dog. Gretchen communicated well and provided excellent service! Her family was good with my pup. I can’t express how grateful I am to have found Gretchen! She is Outstanding!”
About: My fiance Eric and I have had dogs our whole lives and genuinely enjoy caring for animals, going on walks and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are available to take your pet/pets for walks multiple times a day, give them the attention they need, while offering them loving care throughout the day. We have a few greenways in our area where we will take your dog out for long walks. We have a small 15 pound Dachshund that loves company. Your dogs will be free to roam around the house with available food, water, and comfort.
“R.J. And Julie are wonderful pet sitters! I trust them completely with my dog. They are responsible, respectful, and prompt with messages n pictures. I highly recommend their services.”
“I cannot thank Cristhian and Katty enough for the incredible care they gave to Fifi while I was away for 22 days. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in the best hands. Cristhian treated Fifi as if she were his own pet, giving her all the love, attention, and comfort she needed. They took care of everything, her medication, her food, her walks, with so much dedication and kindness. It truly felt like Fifi had another home. She had such a great time with Cristhian, Katty, and sweet Pacho. I could see how happy and relaxed she was, and that gave me so much peace of mind during my time away. I’m beyond grateful for the care they provided. If you want someone who will love your pet like family, look no further. Thank you, Cristhian and Katty, for being Fifi’s second family.”
“Love Lauren and her family! My dog Finn had such a great time at their home. It was obvious from the pictures she sent that he was very comfortable and having fun playing with the other dogs in her care. Will for sure bring him back when there is a need. Thanks again for taking such good care of him! :)”
“Ravon took fantastic care of our senior pup. She gave her so much love and attention!! She made sure to fully understand her dietary and exercise needs, which we really appreciate. Ravon definitely provided a safe, home-away-from-home for our girl. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and was very very responsive. We would absolutely book with Ravon again!”
“Wally was so happy when I picked him up and I can tell that he thoroughly enjoyed his time with Melissa and Mr. Peanut butter. Melissa is super easy to communicate with and friendly - we will be back!”

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!
Jeremy and his family, boarded our dog, REX, at their house for 2 days. Rex was relaxed and happy when we got home. Jeremy is a very caring person and keeps an excellent communication. He sent pictures and updates. We will definitely book with him again. 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,942 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
