“Megan was available last minute after having trouble getting a sitter. She kept us updated with pictures everyday. Our boy came back happy & tired. I will be using her again in the future! Thank you!”
“Ben was great to give us updates on our dog Yuki as she stayed with him and his family over a weekend. She was well taken care of and it was great to have some peace of mind knowing Yuki was in good hands. I would certainly recommend Ben for anyone needing to have someone look after their pet!”
“Cristina has been dog sitting our Cavapoo for 2-3 years and our doggie is like part of their family now 😁. Cristina is very active with our dog, taking her for neighborhood walks and she sends a lot of updates during her stay. Cristina’s grandsons are just the sweetest and they give our doggie so much love as well.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chad and Katy were absolutely amazing with our two dogs! We felt completely comfortable leaving them in their care, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. They kept us informed the entire time, sent us updates, and even gave us printed pictures of our dogs to put on our fridge, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch! You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands while we were away. We came home to two happy pups! 🐶❤️ We will definitely be using Chad and Katy again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable people to watch their pets. Thank you both for taking such great care of them!”
“Carrington is simply the best! Super communicative, which helped me to rest easy. It is also evident that she loves animals. I am sure that Percy, my dog, loved her stay at Carrington's. Would 100% recommend :)”
“Mary took great care of my dog while we went on a weekend trip. She sent pictures and updates about how my dog, Sunny, was doing. Sunny enjoyed being in their beautiful back yard, going on walks, and playing with Mary's other guest dog. While we were out of town, Mary made sure that Sunny got her medicine, was exercised, and spoiled with attention. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an dog sitter in the Greenville area.”
About: Hi, I’m Lee! Animals are one of my passions. I grew up surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes—and developed a natural bond. People have called me a "pet whisperer" my entire life because I intuitively understand what animals need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I know firsthand that pets are truly family. Most recently, I was blessed with 15 wonderful years alongside my Yorkie and best friend, Bradley. Caring for him through his golden years gave me extensive, hands-on experience with senior pet care, including managing slow-paced routines, monitoring comfort levels, and providing the extra patience and gentle touch that older animals require. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy who needs a fun walk, a shy rescue needing a patient friend, or a sweet senior who requires specialized care, I will treat them with the exact same devotion I gave my own boy. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! What I Offer: Lifelong Experience: Comfort and familiarity with a massive variety of animals. Senior & Specialized Care: Deeply patient with aging pets, medication schedules, and gentle mobility needs. The "Pet Whisperer" Touch: A calm, intuitive energy that helps anxious or difficult animals relax. I look forward to meeting you and the furry family members, whether if it’s just for a dog walk in the afternoon, or several days while you’re away on holiday vacation! I have flexibility with my work hours and schedule. I am a Business Development Manager for a landscaping company. I am all over town meeting clients and partners. I do not have a fenced in yard, but a very large grassy area out back. I live in one of the Redwoods Apartment Homes HOA (ranch layout/quadplex style/all ground level/no stairs) communities in Greer. Very quiet and respectful neighborhood.
“Maggie so enjoyed her visit with Christina! Maggie has been an indoor city girl in Florida her entire life. This was her first time having the run of a yard. Christina’s yard is huge with lots of trees and things to climb on/through. Her Boxer Bandit and Maggie became buddies right away. Christina was the perfect hostess. Maggie’s 3-day stay could not have been better. I highly recommend her and Maggie will definitely visit again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Chelsea and Fernando! They were incredibly caring, reliable, and conscientious about keeping our dog on her normal routine. They paid close attention to her feeding schedule, walks, and daily habits, helping her feel comfortable and at home while we were away. Communication was also excellent. We received regular updates and photos, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or messages. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our dog and wanted to make sure she was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again!”
About: Love having furry guest in my home! Will provide a safe and relaxing environment for your doggies. Lots of play and cuddles! I’m also a foster mom for a local rescue so I have had experience with that as well. I have an extremely flexible schedule so I’m home a good bit of the time. Dogs might have to be crated some but not for long periods. I care for the pets as if they are my own. I’ll making sure they are having fun and getting lots of pets and cuddles.
“Our pups always have a great time staying with Matthew and Heidi - they're great! So communicative, kind, and caring with our dogs. We appreciate the care they provide!”
“We are very happy with Nikki and Dave. They provided frequent updates for our peace of mind. Our dog gets anxious when left alone and they made sure that she was accompanied at all times plus they have a fenced backyard where she sunbathed and played.”
“I cannot say enough about this family! My dog does not like ANYONE. He’s has separation anxiety and under normal circumstances only sees me. He was raised by himself so he doesn’t get to interact with other dogs, but not because he’s aggressive. It’s the unknown for me. He’s been to two other sitters and was depressed the entire time, nor would he eat. In which has never been over two days. The day Mrs Wanda & I did a meet & greet I knew she had something special! I could see my dog gravitate almost instantly to her & her son! After dropping him off, upon messaging to check on him to my surprise he had already eaten! I couldn’t believe it! So I was very happy with the choice I made for his sitter. So when I went to pick him up yesterday I was excited to see him after 4 days! He, on the other hand whined all the way to Walmart, in Walmart, did not want anyone to pet him! It took him a minute to settle down at home. I believe he whined more than normal because he wanted to go back, which was heartbreaking to me! But I am soooo happy for him, and that he’s found others that he likes. I want him to have the best quality in life and I didn’t feel as though I was providing that not allowing him around other people & pets. She is most definitely my go to person now for trips, or just getting my dog out of the house & away from the norm!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my puppy. And she had great patience and flexibility with me which I truly appreciate. I love the videos she sent while I was away and I hope to be able to use her again in the future. Thank you, Michelle!”
“It was the first time I had left my 2 beloved dogs anywhere, and I was so lucky to have found Jen. She was always sending me updates and pictures and was very patient with my anxiety about leaving them for a whole week. They were free to roam about the house and loved the enclosed porch. They received a lot of love and attention and I will definitely be taking them back!”
“Hannah was fantastic! We loved receiving the pics and videos of Murphy during his stay. 10/10 would recommend Hannah to anyone on Rover. Murphy can’t wait for his next visit!”
“I highly recommend Kelly. Bella was well taken care of and seemed to have been happy to "bond" with her dogs. Kelly was easy to communicate with and sent photos and updates . I would definitely board my dog with her again .”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apalache
Nicole was amazing! I know I have a high maintenance dog because of the breed, him not being neutered and trying to mark everywhere, and having a very anxious and very attached kind of personality. I left a very detailed and lengthy message for her prior to dropping my little man off about everything I could think of that might make the experience easier for both of them. And not only did she adhere to everything I asked her to do, but she exceeded well above my expectations of what my idea of a sitter should do and be! I also would like to mention that the day I was supposed to drop my pup off, we were dealing with a severe ice storm that had made the roads very treacherous and businesses close. It was a nightmare getting my rental car and my drop off times continued to change because of it. Nicole very easily could have canceled on me or told me to take a hike. Instead, she put my mind at ease and told me to just get there when I got there, and safely. She is super flexible and easy going and I could not ask for a better person to take care of what I consider as a family member! She updated my fiance and I often with pictures, and even introduced our little man to a dog park- something I was always nervous about doing because of his adhd and inability to stay focused very long on certain things. She also was very flexible with my pickup time as I was driving back from a 10-hour trip and was unsure of my arrival time. I look forward to booking future stays with Nicole! Y'all are crazy if you book anybody else!
This was our second time booking with Shekinah and again amazing care of our girl! We had a trip come up with very short notice on our end and we were lucky enough she was available! Thank you again for taking care of Chai, it is great to see her comfortable with a second family!

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.
94% of sitters in Apalache 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 Apalache 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 Apalache.
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 Apalache. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Apalache 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.
