“This was Scribble’s 1st time staying at someone’s house without us. We were nervous. Jessica was amazing with Scribble! She arranged for Scribble to have her own space until Scribble felt comfortable. She provided us with regular updates, pictures, & a video! This was a great experience for Scribble & these nervous fur-baby parents! Highly recommended!!”
“Christal was quick to respond and very communicative while my pup was with her family! Lots of love and cuddles were given and my pup came home tired and happy! I hope we can board with Christal again!”
“Mara is very caring, friendly and accountable person. She took care of my pet very well. She posted pictures time to time to show me what my pet is doing that made me feel very comfortable and secure. I would recommend her very strongly to take care of anyone's pet. Thank you Mara for everything and you will be Mimo's caretaker whenever I needed and until you can take care of him:)”

“Great experience with Kris. Our two elderly dogs seemed to enjoy their time with her and didn't want to come home after. :) She has a massive fenced-in property that they loved exploring with her. She also texted us a lot of great quality photos of the dogs while we were away. Thanks again, Kris!”
“Nathalie was absolutely wonderful with our old gal S’mores!! She was such a pleasure to communicate with, and she was so caring with S’mores’ little needs for an older dog who is a little deaf… She sent great pictures and made sure our gal had a smooth, easy visit! Many thanks!!!!!😊😊”
“Dana is fabulous - she always takes wonderful care of Milo and treats him like her own dog. She follows his complex meal prep, lets him sleep in her bed, Milo gets lots of outdoor time, and Dana sends great photo updates. Dana also has the sweetest dog, Bailey, who is best friends with Milo. We appreciate you Dana! Thank you for taking such great care of Milo!”
“Can I give her 6 stars? Anna was wonderful and Sandy agrees! It was my first time leaving Sandy with anyone, so I was nervous. But Anna was so sweet that immediately Sandy loved her. Anna sent me daily updates and pictures. She put my fears to ease so that I could enjoy myself on my trip. I will definitely use Anna again when I need to board Sandy in the future! Thanks, Anna!”

“Cece is the most amazing dog sitter, and we’re so happy we found her! She was incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and very sweet. Mila seemed so comfortable and happy in her home, and I loved receiving all the updates and pictures while we were away! It was so clear that Mila was getting all the love, attention, and care she deserves while we were on vacation for five days. Knowing she was happy and in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Cece with Mila again. I highly recommend her!”
“Great Rover with amazing fenced in backyard. Treated my girl like she was at home and even put rug runners out so she could easily navigate at the hardwood floors. Ellie was extremely happy! Will be booking again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alvin’s and would absolutely book with her again! She took such great care of Cayde and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious from the photos that Cayde was having a great time playing and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our travel schedule, which we really appreciated since our timeline changed a few times. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she genuinely treated Cayde like one of her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

Here’s a polished version that keeps it warm and genuine: Such a kind and genuine host! We feel truly blessed to have someone like her take care of our baby, Sasha. Sasha always feels safe, comfortable, and secure with her, which gives us so much peace of mind. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Sasha and treating her with so much love. We truly appreciate you and look forward to having Sasha stay with you again!
This was the first time we had boarded our 7 month old puppy with Heather. She did a great job and followed our instructions for her care. Heather was also very accommodating and sent us daily messages on how Sadie was doing. When we returned, Sadie was happy but very tired. She had obviously had fun playing with Heather's two small dogs. We will be using Heather again in the near future and highly recommend her.
We had such a positive experience with Monie! Our dog stayed with her, and it was clear that he felt safe and comfortable in her care. She sent us daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and she was always very responsive whenever we reached out. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave our dog and would definitely feel comfortable having him stay with her again!
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 :)

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Waxhaw is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,116 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waxhaw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Waxhaw can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waxhaw. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
