About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for dogs of all ages and my hands-on experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, reliable, and fully focused on your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness. I have had a dog since I was born and love taking my own dog Phoebe on walks! I am a college student looking for ways to fill my time and spend more time with dogs! I am looking to walk dogs anytime on weekdays and weekends! I also am available to pet sit and check in on anything as well! My dog Phoebe is so special to me. We always take her to go on her daily walks after we eat dinner, and she loves to be petted all the time.
“Super convenient. We came down to Fort Jackson for graduation. There are hotels 4 minutes away and Fort Jackson was 15 minutes and a very easy drive. Isabela was great, Sent multiple pictures of our pup enjoying his stay with her. If you are coming down with your fur baby for graduation, this is your sitter.”
“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”
About: My name is Sasha! I am currently a student at the University of South Carolina. I have been pet sitting for the last 6 years. I love all pets and look forward to taking care of yours! Even though I am in college, I only have to go to class twice a week. I also have a job but I only work 5 hours at a time a couple times a week. I also plan on staying in Columbia for the summer. I love playing with animals, taking them on walks and keeping them company while I do my homework. I am not able to care for animals in my home because my apartment complex wouldn't allow it but I will make the most out of taking care of them at their home!
“Benny was very hyper and a handful. Ginny did a wonderful job getting him to relax and being comfortable outside the crate. She gave me some insight on a no pull collar that will help tremendously. My pet was in good hands, she kept.me updated with text and photos. Very, very please with her care she provided.”
About: My dog is my child and I will make sure your pet is treated like family. I have lived with a dog for as long as I can remember. I had a Shih tzu growing up which gave me experience with a smaller dog and now I have a 6 year old pitbull boxer that is 45lbs of pure love and energy. I have lived in a house where 3 different breeds and ages of dogs lived together, so I have experience in all kinds of combinations of dog scenarios. As a dog owner, I understand the stress of leaving your best friend behind and needing care, let me take that stress so you can worry only about what you had to leave for I work full time, but I can do drop in visits or dog walking anytime after 5, and before 8 on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I live in a house with my dog Pacho who gets plenty of exercise and my philosophy is to treat your pups like they are mine. I love to just be with dogs and let them have some exercise
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, newborns, seniors, animals that are nursing, and animals with special & medical needs. I love taking care of animals and helping people, if my prices don’t work for you please contact me and we can work something out! I’m in class 12-3 Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I am available any time other than those listed, but I have roommates who are home during that time and available to help. I have all pet supplies needed including food and water bowls, leashes, waste bags, toys, etc. We allow animals on furniture and on beds. I live in an apartment so there is no yard, but I can frequently take your pet on walks! At your home I can follow any and all instructions you give, just let me know.
About: I have grown up and taken care of dogs all my life! I have always lived with multiple dogs, and have even rescued 2! I love big and small dogs, I have experience with training, walking big dogs (pitbulls, labs, etc.), administering insulin, and dealing with dogs with epilepsy! One of my pups had diabetes, dementia, epilepsy, and anxiety, so I am well prepared for anything of that nature! I often pet sit for neighbors and friends for dogs of all different breeds! I’ve taken care of puppies, to toddlers, to senior dogs! I’m currently a student at USC, and take all my classes in the morning, so I basically have a free schedule after 1pm almost every day of the week! Weekends are more convenient for boarding, but I would still be able to make boarding during the week work as well! I also have gaps in my schedule, so during the week I am able to stop by throughout the morning to take care of your pups! I currently live in an apartment complex, so I do not have a yard for any pups, but I am able to take them outside on walks! We are allowed to have animals here so if need be I could have a dog stay with me, however I do not have any proper supplies for them in my apartment, and would need to be provided with such.
“Susan was great from the beginning of the trip to the end. She kept us up to date on how the boys were doing and Bentley and Sherman had a great time during their stay. We will definitely use her again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Arthurtown is $38
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arthurtown
This was the first time that we left our puppy with anyone. He is a very high energy dog. He was well taken care of and we weee so pleased with Qais. He sent plenty of videos and photos of our baby playing and having walks outdoors. We will definetly use Qais again on our next trip out of town Ang recommend him highly.
Kristin kept us updated while our fur baby stayed with her for 4 days. We usually bring our baby with us everywhere, but we couldn't on this trip. I was very nervous about leaving her with someone new but she did so good. We are moving soon but if we need Kristin before then we will definitely have her watch our baby again!!
Michael went above and beyond for my fur baby! This was her first time being left with a sitter, he and his family made my baby feel so comfortable & loved. He kept us updated the whole trip, with pictures and text. Thank you so much Michael, we definitely will be back!

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.
97% of sitters in Arthurtown 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 Arthurtown 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 Arthurtown.
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 Arthurtown. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Arthurtown 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.
