“Robyn and her family were great to accommodate Sauvi on short notice and gave her a warm welcome. Their dog was super sweet and made the introduction stress free. I would definitely love to have Sauvi stay with Robyn again in the future.”

“Beth was such a great hostess to Layla! She took great care of her and kept me updated with photos and videos. Layla loved playing with her dog Shamrock and running around her back yard.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Messi with anyone other than family and Ashley did a fantastic job. She answered all of my questions. There was great communication and we were put at ease knowing he was in good hands. We received daily photos and videos of Messi and she even sent him home with a goodie bag. We could tell she treated Messi as her own and we appreciate that so much. I highly recommend Ashley.”
“We have an 12 year old, high energy dog who struggles with anxiety and can be pretty vocal, so after recently moving, we were nervous about boarding him or finding a new Rover sitter. Megan immediately put us at ease and didn’t bat an eye at any of his quirks. Her whole family was so sweet with him and did a wonderful job helping him feel calm and comfortable. She also sent photos every day, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful we found Megan and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, patient sitter!”
“Gabriella was terrific- she was very flexible with my plans and timing and kept in good touch while I was away. She sent lots of pictures. Our dog came home happy and pleasantly tired from running in her backyard!”
“Emily took care of my precious toy poodle boys for a week in April this year. I was a bit nervous leaving them as they are with me almost all the time. I needn’t have worried. I got pics and updates constantly and I was able to go over and take them for a walk one night while they were there too. Emily and her mom Mary even went so far as to feed them by hand when they were concerned about them eating enough. My little guy Waldo had a huge crush on Emily and might have been a bit sad to go home haha. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s the best!!!”
“Dropped my 2 puppies off to Karen for the day while I went to work and they had a blast! I got updated throughout the whole day and a bunch of great photos of my little ones and they were having such a fun time in her backyard. She has a lot of space for them to run and play. She was super nice and I’m so happy I got to meet her. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Madison was excellent! She provided daily updates and pictures of Wicket throughout the week. When we picked up Wicket he was a happy little guy. Would definitely use Madison again when back in the area.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Skye provided for my dog, Ross, while I was away! My dog’s a massive golden retriever that needs a lot of love, affection and attention. And Ross absolutely received that and loved it! They took Ross on plenty of walks and showered him with so much love and attention—it was clear Ross felt right at home. I highly recommend Skye to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pup!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Academy Estates
We had such a great experience with our dog sitter Destiny! She and her fiancé took wonderful care of Finbar over two nights, and it really gave us peace of mind while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and consistent, and we really appreciated the photos—they made it obvious Finbar was happy and comfortable. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Finbar came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and kind dog sitter.

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 Academy Estates 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 Academy Estates 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 Academy Estates.
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 Academy Estates. On Rover:
- 95% 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 Academy Estates 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 SC 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.
