“We left Jake for a week and he seemed to fit right in. Stephanie & Matthew said he was great no problems. Sent us pictures of him playing which made me very happy! Thank you and have a Merry Christmas. Deb”
“This lady has become apart of the family. Our two dogs can be much to deal with at times but Gina does such a great job with them. They are so happy staying with her and I wouldn't trust anyone else. She doesn't just look after the dogs, she goes the extra mile to make sure they feel at home. If you are considering boarding she is the way to go. So glad we have such a wonderful person taking care of our babies”
“Maribel and her sweet dog Molly were awesome! Our girl Emma has a bit of separation anxiety but Maribel was patient and caring for Emma to help her adjust. She always kept us in the loop with pictures and info on how things were going. Many thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“I was very happy with the care and attention Tokyo received. The caregiver was very attentive, kind, and responsible. She kept me updated and patiently answered all of my questions, which gave me great peace of mind. You can tell she truly cares about animals and puts a lot of dedication into what she does. I would definitely trust her with Tokyo again. Thank you so much for everything! 🐾❤️”
“Our pups had a good time with them. They got the care they needed including medication administration and catering to their anxiety. They also offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. They shared lots of photos and regular updates.”
“Christopher was incredible. I had a very last minute need to board for two days over a weekend and he was able to be extremely flexible for us. Had to drop her off late and then picked her up early due to my crazy work schedule and he was more than willing to accommodate. Will be brining my girl Zoey back to him again for sure.”
“Meghan is the best, period!!! Her and her family great people and our dog loves spending the night(s) with them. I couldn't be more pleased and I really hate boarding my dog when Meghan's not available!! Thanks Meghan!!”
“Our dog Diggs just enjoys being with Ashley & hr family. She is often very accommodating and helpful to urgent needs and requests. Practically our dog’s 2nd family”

“Took my puppy Archie to Shane and Jenna for a week-long work event and wow—just wow. The big fenced yard let him run wild and burn energy. Daily photo updates with cute notes kept me sane while I was miles away. Came home to a happy pup. Total peace of mind and zero worries. Already rebooking again🐶❤️”
“Nelcy was an excellent sitter for our lab. She loved on her and cared for her like she was her own. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again!”
“We are so lucky to have found Lisa. We are THOSE dog parents. Maggie and Jasper are great hosts. Tabitha loves sharing her toys. Thank you Lisa. We will have a trip in a few months when Tabitha would love to visit.”
About: As a proud pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! With 5 years of pet care experience and firsthand experience caring for both dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure pets receive plenty of love and attention. I have experience caring for my own Miniature Schnauzer and multiple cats, so I’m familiar with different personalities and energy levels. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own and provide regular updates and pictures so you always know they’re in good hands! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! As a dog and cat owner myself, I’m used to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they deserve. My work schedule offers flexibility, and I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is and will always communicate clearly about my availability! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own pets. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications when appropriate, and any special routines. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep their environment clean, and provide plenty of attention and affection. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll send regular pictures and updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
“Taylor is amazing! She took such a good care of Canelo while I was at work, her dog Rêve played with him all day. It was wonderful to come home and have him tired out and happy.”
“So happy to have found Andrea to take care of Vernie for an overnight! She was so kind and understanding of his puppy energy. He is thoroughly exhausted from all the play! Happy to know we have someone we can trust when we head out of town!”
“I’d never used Rover before and therefore didn’t communicate our expectations very well up front. Consequently we didn’t receive the updates we would’ve liked in a timely manner initially, but once that expectation was established everything was wonderful! Her family took great care of our boys and actively worked to assure us that they were happy and in good hands while we were away.”

The BEST as always!! There is nothing better than knowing my Ranger is having his own fun vacation so I can relax on mine! 😊 10/10 will always recommend Angela & her family! EVERYONEEE needs an Angela, y’all just can’t ALL have mine bc our Ranger loooooves her!! 🤣🤍
Walker seemed to have a great time and Paige was super sweet and very responsive. We received lots of pictures of Walker playing outside and being cozy on the furniture. The whole family really made Walker one of their own and we would book with Paige again anytime!
As always, Winston loves spending time with Angeline and her pets. I genuinely think he’s sad to leave! He feels very comfortable going over now and just heads right on in to see his friends and play. It’s great knowing your pet is well taken care of and having his own “vacation” while you are on yours!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Willowbend is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 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.

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.
95% of sitters in Willowbend 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 Willowbend 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 Willowbend.
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 Willowbend. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Willowbend 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.
