“Evelin was amazing with our pup. She provided us with photos through out the week, reassuring us that our Pup was behaving and enjoying herself. Plus Evelin was very accommodating and loving to our dog (Alice). Thanks again Evelin for welcoming Alice and taking great care of her.”
“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”
“Jackie was so amazing!! She sent so many photos of our pups and even brushed them, gave them a bath and sent them home with some treats and bandanas. She was very communicative and flexible when our travel plans changed. We will 100% be booking with her again!!”
“I recently moved to NC and needed to find boarding for my dachshund, and I’m so grateful I found Ashley! From our very first conversation through the meet-and-greet and then the big event — his two-night stay — she truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease leaving Barkley with her. Her genuine love and care for animals is apparent, and she treated him like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pup!”
“What an incredible find! I recommend Nataly and her family if you’re looking for a warm, compassionate and caring place to leave your little love when you can’t be with them. She is an excellent communicator.! while we were gone she sent so many pictures. She has a beautiful home with a large fenced in backyard but most of all the way she took care of our dog during thunderstorms was so sweet. When I got the picture with Maddi, our little shaking fur ball, wrapped in a cozy blanket with only her big brown eyes showing I knew how much she cared about keeping her comfortable. Looks like we found Maddi’s second home when we cannot take her with us.”
“Ernesto did a great job caring for our Rottweiler. He is 80 lbs and about 9 months old. He has a very knowledgeable and helpful for any questions I had about the stay. This was my first time using Rover and he helped explain the process and booking. Thank you!”
“We were very happy with how Brooke took care of our Corgi. He came out of her house safe and happy and went back the next day happy to see her. We hope to use Brooke again and would recommend her for your pet!”
“Jayda was amazing with my dog and kept me updated daily with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Christopher and Christina were wonderful to watch my dog Max for a full week. I had such peace of mind and received regular updates and photos of Max during that time. Can not recommend them enough!”
“In all my years of moving around and needing to trust a new Rover city in each town, Ashley and her family were hands down THE BEST, most compassionate and caring I have come across. We are returning upon every chance we can!!!”
“We love Desiree so much we booked her twice in less than two months! She takes great care of our pup, giving us a worry-free time away. She’s also flexible and super accommodating, so it makes drop-offs and pick-ups a breeze. We’ve definitely found our forever-sitter!”
“My dog has high anxiety with people he doesn’t know. I’ve tried a lot of options for his care without much peace of mind. I decided to try in-home care with Heather. She sent photos and videos everyday my boy looked so happy! She was organized and a great communicator. I trust her. Finally, peace of mind!”
“My pups, one elderly and one young and rambunctious spent 9 nights while I was in Europe. My babies are treated like family, lots of pics and updates. I never have to worry when they stay with Lucia and Rob.”
“Kaitlyn kept us up to date on our dogs through the visit bringing us peace of mind. We’re very happy with our experience and would be happy to use her again for our future boarding needs.”
“Alison and her family were so great with our Sofie! They kept great care of her, keeping her on her schedule. Sofie also got to spend a lot of time outside which she loves. Alison was great about keeping me posted with how Sofie was doing and would send great pics. I appreciated her communication and I knew Sofie was being well taken care of!! Thank you again Alison, we will def be seeing you again soon! :)”
“Tiffany took great care of Lizzy while we were traveling. She kept us up to date on how things were going with frequent pictures. Lizzy had a great time and we will definitely use Tiffany again.”
About: A Home Away From Home for Your Pup! Dogs have always been part of my family, and I love creating a comfortable, relaxed home-away-from-home experience for them. My 6-year-old Boston Terrier, Coco, is my constant sidekick and the daughter I never had! She can use a furry friend and takes a few minutes to warm up. I'd love to welcome your pup into my home for a stay filled with love, attention, playtime and plenty of couch cuddles. I intentionally keep my boarding small and personal, typically hosting just 1–2 guest dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of individual attention. Your dog will be treated like part of the family—not just another boarding guest. Small, family-style boarding — just 1–2 guest dogs at a time Fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks Lots of love, attention & companionship Daily photo & video updates so you can see how your pup is doing Comfortable home environment with plenty of attention and downtime Meet & greet before the first stay to make sure everyone is comfortable Whether you're headed out for a weekend getaway or a longer trip, I'd love to give your pup a safe, happy place to call home while you're away. Come meet Coco and me—I'd love to meet your furry family member! Open to meet & greets to acclimate and see if we are a good fit ! I currently work Full-Time in and out of my home as a Realtor® so I have lots of flexibility to walk and love on the pups throughout my days. Our Boston Terrier even loves to ride in the car with me. So when the wether permits, she joins me as I travel around the Triangle providing home tours and knowledge to my clients. I have a nice fenced in yard and 2 crates, if needed. I can crate your pup as needed or he/she can roam about with Coco on the 1st floor. We can even crate your pup for sleeping at night, like we do Coco.

Taylor was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, thoughtful, and took such wonderful care of our pup. Her communication was fantastic, and she truly went above and beyond! We had such peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. Taylor is seriously the best and we couldn’t recommend her more! 💕
Elizabeth is absolutely fantastic! Our border collie gets so excited every time we go to her house, which says it all. She sends pictures consistently throughout the day, keeps us updated, and takes such great care of him. She is reliable, attentive, and truly the ideal Rover sitter. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
William was great. My husband was completely ill prepared to drop of Duke (I am always the one responsible for this but was out of town already). William didn’t miss a beat and happily provided Duke with all the missing amenities that one should bring 🤦♀️ (bowls, crate, etc). Our dog came back very happy and tired. We also really enjoyed the videos that he sent of Duke! William was easy to communicate with and well prepared for our dog, who is a ball of energy.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Western Hills is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $50 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 713 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Western Hills. 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 Western Hills 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 Western Hills 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 Western Hills.
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 Western Hills. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 Western Hills 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.
