“Friendly folks! Have lots of animals of their own so very much ‘animal people’. My dog seemed to be very happy there! I would recommend James and Aimee to anyone who cares about what’s really important!!”

“Mary was so wonderful with my boys! They’re usually really nervous around new people, but she made them feel so comfortable and took really good care of them. Mary sent me regular pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They seemed to have a great time at her place and got along well with her sweet dogs.”

About: I’ve always loved caring for dogs, often helping neighbors and friends with their dogs. And I look after my grandpup Whiskey, a husky, whenever my son travels. Your pet will enjoy a calm, steady routine while staying with me. I work full‑time from home, so they’ll have company throughout the day and plenty of attention. We’ll follow their usual schedule — walks, meals, potty breaks, and any comfort habits they rely on. Evenings are relaxed and cozy with playtime and snuggles. You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. For cats: They settle in easily here and enjoy a quiet, cozy space with lots of gentle attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep a steady routine throughout the day so pets know what to expect and feel secure while they’re with me. I live in a quiet, comfortable home that’s very pet‑friendly and easy for animals to settle into. Since I work from home, your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. Supervised outdoor time: I don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is on‑leash and supervised. I’m mindful of other dogs we may meet on walks and keep interactions calm and controlled. Safe indoor environment: Inside, pets can relax, nap, and settle in a pet‑friendly space where I’m always nearby. At times, my grandkitty Kitana may be here, and she’s calm, gentle, and used to sharing space with visiting pets. Communication: You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything seems off — changes in appetite, behavior, or comfort — I’ll let you know right away.

About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. I was raised in a home where we had Ferrets, Hamsters, a Pet Skunk, a Squirrel named Boomer, as well as Dogs and Cats ... I am very loving and warm to animals and think that animals are more than pets ..they are family members. I have always been a fur mom and would be honored to help you provide the care you would want for your fur baby. Your fur baby will be cuddled, scratched, played with, and loved as if they were my own in your absence. I service Transylvania County, Jackson County and Macon County including Lake Toxaway as well as the Highlands-Cashiers area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am prompt and dependable and will not disappoint you or your pet. Your pets health and well being is of upmost importance to me and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am available to house sit in your home while you are away so they may stay on their normal routine. I have outstanding reviews and can provide additional references as well if needed. I water plants, can care for “off season” homes and ensure your home is safe and secure while you are away.

Tia was wonderful, we were traveling and she told us about a campground only a mile from her. With traveling in a RV and motorcycle, not easy to commute a dog. Tia was willing to pick up and deliver our lively puppy. And Torin was so happy playing at Tia's house. Tia went above and beyond in providing great care while we were traveling. Thank you Tia!

Tia is awesome! My pup’s first overnight and day camp went great. She sent lots of cute pics and the sweetest little write-up of how his stay went. I felt so comfortable leaving my little guy with her, especially after getting to meet the other dogs and seeing how calm and loving she was in her interactions with all of them. We are so grateful that our dog has a safe and nurturing place to socialize, play, and tire himself out! We will definitely be back and he can’t wait 😊

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Whittier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Whittier is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $72 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 October 2026, there are 60 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Whittier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

100% of sitters in Whittier 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 Whittier home-away-from-home, 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 Whittier.

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 Whittier 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 , 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 .

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.
