“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“Another great experience with Jessica during the holidays. She was very patient and kind with Bagheera while she got reacquainted with the surroundings. I will book Jessica without hesitation when I am out of town again.”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“Chewy had a great time with Katherine and her family. I always have a hard time leaving my furball behind but after our meet and great i felt so much better. Chewy always keep following me when i leave but this time he went straight into their home. Tank you so much for taking our booking on such a short notice and making us feel so comfortable during my trip with text and pictures. I will definitely use Katherine again when I leave town.”
“Lauren was truly exceptional! I was pretty nervous about leaving my 13-year-old dog with someone new while we were out of town, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond in every way and completely exceeded our expectations. Lauren provided frequent, thoughtful updates that reassured us our dog was happy and comfortable. It was clear she made a genuine effort to create a calm, loving, home-like environment for Leila, which meant so much to us. You can tell Lauren genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and her attention to detail and compassion really stand out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and kind sitter. We’re so grateful for her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Yevheniia is amazing. My dog is on the needy side & I was really nervous about leaving him. Yevheniia made me feel so at ease & comfortable. She treated Luka like family, letting him on the couch & giving him lots of love. She sent daily updates & pictures which I really appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She sent daily pictures and videos and the pups were exhausted after being with her. I felt fully confident that my 3 pups were having a great time and were well taken care of while I was out of the country with little cell phone service. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”
“Mara took good care of my baby girl. She came back tired, which is a good thing, and happy, even better. We will be using her again when needed. Thanks again to you and your lovely family.”
“Carol was excellent. She catered to our Bichons Frisé ‘s special needs. It was our first time on Rover with Carol and she was amazing. Hope to continue bringing Ellie to Carol when we need her.”
“Sarah was wonderful! We had to add an extra day, and she was so sweet to accommodate our last-minute change in our travel plans. We loved receiving the pictures and videos and we never had to worry about them! We will most definitely be contacting her to keep Sam and Charlie in the near future!”
“Annie and Grace took such great care of our 2 dogs while we left town for a week. Annie sent pictures every day and kept me up to date. She even had a card with a really sweet note for me on pick up! I would definitely take my dogs to Annie and Grandma Grace again!”
“I love how friendly this entire family is! They take such good care of Rocko and I know he feels all the love and gets all the cuddles while he’s there. I will definitely continue to book Rocko with them!”
“Sheila took such great care of Penny! We loved the photos and videos she sent us. It was easy to see how happy and comfortable Penny felt with her. Penny was exhausted when we brought her home. Definitely recommend her!”
“Daniel is always so wonderful to work with. He communicates very well and sends a lot of updates! He puts our minds at ease when we are gone. I would recommend him to anyone!”
“I highly recommend Susanne as a dog sitter and will definitely book her again! We have used many different River sitters and Susanne ranks amongst my very favorites. My pup instantly felt at home in her house. Soon after leaving him with her, I received a picture of him curled up in her lap. I could tell my baby was having a good time on his vacation with Susanne while we were all away on our vacations. We got daily updates with pictures. My pup was treated to lots of walks, lots of playtime, and lots of snuggles. He looked so happy, it made my vacation much more enjoyable knowing our pup was happy too.”
“Laura was very sweet and easy to communicate! Sent us pictures and made sure our Theo was feeling as home! We will definitely bring Theo for another weekend of fun when in the area.”
“Christine was phenomenal. She accepted our dog at the last minute, and it was a blessing. Our dog loved her, and that was a plus for me. I will definitely use her service again. Thank you, Christine!”

Heather did a great job caring for both my boys. They seemed comfortable and at ease with her (which was a huge concern of mine) and she was well aware of the importance of daily medication (another comfort). She even picked up toys for them during their stay! Absolutely appreciate her generosity, flexibility, and care of them while I was out of town.
Brandi was amazing. We are so happy we found her. With the new move and last minute booking we wanted someone nearby. She was awesome with all the pictures and updates and so accommodating with last minute changes. Hope we can have lLegend visit in the future :)
I had a fantastic experience with Jeffrey. Communication was excellent from start to finish—he kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog had the best time playing with his dog, and it was clear he was loved and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun. His home was also very clean and felt like a safe environment. I would definitely book again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Waxhaw
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,149 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waxhaw. 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.
95% of Waxhaw 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 Waxhaw 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 Waxhaw 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 Waxhaw.
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 Waxhaw 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.
