“Lutisa provided excellent care for our Shipoo, Juno. He was in her care for two weeks while our family was on vacation and I received prompt updates from her with pictures on his wellbeing. She had a good setup for Juno and when we had the meet n greet, I could tell that Juno was comfortable and felt safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Lutisa again. She is truly a pet lover and it shows when you meet her.”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Maribel was amazing and made our first experience using Rover such a great one. She took the time to set up a meet and greet ahead of the stay so we could see how our dog, Dutch, would get along with her and her dog before booking, which we really appreciated. While we were away, she sent regular updates and photos, which made us feel so much more comfortable knowing Dutch was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and would absolutely book with Maribel again.”
“Paisley was absolutely wonderful! She took the best care of Rocky while I was out of town. Great communication from the booking request to picking up Rocky. She was super flexible and easy to work with. I received daily updates and photos. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Ellie and Karson were so good to my girl! Ellie kept me updated with pictures and took her on walks. My baby was taken very good care of! I would definitely let Ellie and Karson keep Charlie again in the future!!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and attentive lawyer and dog lover. I have a flexible schedule and huge back yard, and I would love to help you feel confident knowing your pup is in good hands while you’re away! I have full-time dog sitting availability! Love to take pups for long walks and snuggle on the sofa. Available to take out as much as needed. Your pup will have lots of love and a huge fenced yard that they will love to play in! I have two small dogs who love a playmate more than anything.
“Amanda was amazing! We needed to book a sitter last minute and over 4th of July weekend at that and she was so accommodating. Not only was she great at communicating and sending updates, you could tell how happy our pup was during his stay from all the pictures! Will 100% rebook if we travel to Salem again, we had a great experience!”
“Colleen is a very special person. She took great care of my two pups during an unexpected trip. Both pups loved on Colleen and I knew they were being treated like royalty as I received daily photos and knew both pups were being cared for like family. I appreciate Colleen and her family for everything they did for D and R. I highly recommend!”
“Carrie is a wonderful dog sitter, she was happy to schedule a meet and great to make sure our dogs were compatible with hers and she was very accommodating with our anxious rescues needs. She sends updates and plenty of photos while they are there. Highly recommend Carrie and we will definitely use her in the future if we need someone to watch our boys!”
“Great job caring for our little schnauzer mix for a week! Sent many pics throughout the day. Outside walks, sleeping in bed, even made some furry friends. Opal wagged her tail and said good bye before leaving. Will book again!”
“Holly was an amazing host. Our 10 month old doodle was well cared for and happy. Holly shared daily updates and was always available whenever I texted. I really appreciate Holly's whole family for taking such great care of Gus.”
“Gina did a great job taking care of my dog, Moon! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated while I was away. Moon was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”
“As always Ziggy received superior care and lots of love! Many thanks to Ashley and Olivia for allowing Ziggy to be part of their family. He can’t wait till next time🩵”
About: I have always had a fondness for animals, I believe they show us the best parts of love! I have taken care of many animals including cats, dogs, and goats for many friends and family. I love spending time with the little babies who need a bit of extra attention, time, and patience! I am currently employed full time within walking distance from my apartment. I go on walks in the morning and evening, and would love more companions! I have a knack for reading how people/animals are doing in new situations, so I do my best to provide a gentle, patient, and loving home away from home!
“Brianna was amazing. So kind and patient with my one pup who is going blind and gets anxious. They clearly had a great time and they are very sensitive - I cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“If I could give a 10 outta 5 I would. I literally just rescued Daisy, my 1lb chihuahua, and already had planned a trip home to Ohio. I'm in NC for work, and my closest friend is 3 hours away. I was petrified to leave this new scared baby with a stranger.. We met Amanda and INSTANTLY LOVED HER! I got pics and videos of my sweet tiny tot, and Amanda's dogs were PERFECT FUN AND GENTLE. I will not look for anyone else while I'm here to watch Daisy unless it's am emergency or Amanda is busy..”
“Absolutely amazing 🤩 she was very loving with our dog Odin and she took amazing care of him! She updated ever day and sent us may pictures of him that made it so much better having to leave him to go on a work trip! Our Odin was a very happy dog in all the pictures and I would highly recommend using Yasmeen as we will definitely be reaching out again for our other trips! 💯⭐️”

Leaving Gwen is always stressful, but they took excellent care of her and made the whole experience so much easier. They were attentive, loving, and incredibly kind from start to finish. They kept me updated with great communication and lots of pictures, took Gwen on a car ride to the park, even gave her a bath, and treated her like she was part of their own family. The best part was coming home to a happy, relaxed Gwen. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Our pup thoroughly enjoyed staying with Mackenzie this weekend. She was snuggled and spoiled and loved playing with her dog too. I felt so relieved to hear that she was doing well in her updates and loved seeing all the fun she was having. I would definitely trust Mackenzie to keep her again!
As first-time users of a pet sitter, we weren't sure how Eren would respond, especially given his high energy. Elisé was exceptionally patient with him and maintained constant communication, providing daily updates and valuable insights throughout our experience. When she dropped Eren off, I could tell he was genuinely sad to leave her. We felt so fortunate to have him in her care!
Rachel took great care of my fur baby and provided updates. This was my first time boarding my dog. She's my emotional support dog so I've only left her with family. All of my family moved to a different state. I was having surgery so, I had no choice but to board Menty. Rachel let Menty and I meet her ahead of time which made me more comfortable and because I was having surgery she was sweet enough to bring Menty home, even though that was not our original deal. I would definitely recommend her and I will use her services in the future. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Winston-Salem on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 484 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Winston-Salem. 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.
94% of Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem.
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 Winston-Salem 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.
