“Leigh Ann and her family were great! They took superb care of my pup and keeped me updated with pictures and reports of all the fun they were having. Leigh Ann was very accommodating concerning my shifting drop off and pick up times. I will absolutely ask them to help out in the future! Fantastic folks who love dogs!”
“We were so happy with the care that was given to our pup by Lila. He is an elderly dog and she was so kind and thoughtful to his needs. Added bonus…our guy made a new friend with her pup. We would highly recommend Lila and hope to use her services in the future!”
“Thank you Diane for taking such great care of my dog. Charlie is a skittish miniature poodle mix that does not connect with everyone. Diane made her feel at home and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend Diane and we will be using her again.”
“Natasha did a great job watching our dog Harley. She sent updates and pictures throughout her stay that made us feel better about leaving her for the weekend. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Victoria was great with our 2 pups! She was really communicative, sent pictures, and took good care of our dogs while we were gone for the weekend. We would definitely have her watch them again. :)”
“Alyssa was great! Very responsive and friendly, sent plenty of updates and pictures, and my dog looked very happy and at home while under her care. Highly recommend!”
“Paul was a terrific sitter. Paddington was very comfortable and had a great time. Paul took him on long walks and sent really nice photos at the end of the day, he also had a dog cam and you can see your dog. Lastly Paul helped us out of a bind agreeing to watch Paddington on short notice as we had an unexpected trip. Highly recommend!”
“Megan watched my two dogs. One of them was anxious and reactive and didn’t settle, but the other was relaxed and happy. I appreciated the patience, care, and communication throughout the stay.”
“I am an over anxious dog mom and am apprehensive to leave my babies with a sitter. But my two dogs walked right into Rebecca's home and I could instantly see how comfortable they were! Rebecca gave my dogs the same kind of love and attention that I do! My dogs got to play outside and get extra love from her family members! I will deffinitly use Rebecca in the future and would 100 percent recommend her to any anxious dog parents like me!”
“She was great with our 6.5 month old puppy! He absolutely adored her and was so excited to get dropped off after meeting her only once at the meet and greet. She was great with providing us updates and photos even for only one night. We will definitely use her again.”
“Agnes & Michael were great hosts for Phoebe! Sent pictures throughout her stay. I felt very comfortable leaving her when I was gone without being worried. Would definitely book them again :)”
“This was Yami’s second and (unfortunately) last stay with Alita & Timothy. Yami and I were in SC temporarily on military orders and I can’t thank you both enough for the best care you have given Yami in the short time you’ve known her. I know Yami is going to miss your amazing backyard and beautiful home so much! As I am going to miss having someone so reliable and communicative of my very special pup. Alita & Timothy are such great caretakers. I can’t recommend them enough. They do well with administering medications and do well with introducing pups to each other. Yami is so thankful!”
“Dom was wonderful to Marlin for a last minute booking. He kept me informed and sent multiple pictures. He even had a bedroom for just Marlin if needed. Can’t thank him enough for his love and attention he gave my dog!”
“Truly a home away from home for our dog. Kathy, Gabe, and their dog Jasper made every aspect of our boarding experience fantastic. Knowledgeable and clear communication and the priceless peace of mind that our dog was being cared for as if she was their own. Book with confidence!”
“Vilma accepted our very last minute request to watch our two dogs and took impeccable care of them! She was even able to groom our difficult older dog who has never let anyone else groom her in the 9 years we’ve had her! Vilma sent us pictures and I could tell our pups were so happy to be there with her. Will absolutely use again!”
“Gabriela was fantastic! She was so easy to coordinate with on the front end, and very accommodating for a last minute request. She was also great with my pup and sent multiple pictures each day”
“Joshua is a great sitter for our anxious Coco. His place is very clean, soothing, and peaceful. He is great with our fur baby, sending updates and pictures. We will not hesitate to use him again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Awendaw home-away-from-home, 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 Awendaw.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Awendaw 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 , 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 .
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.
