“Jennifer is an amazing sitter. Our pup adores her and she is our first choice when we need to leave our little guy. We highly recommend your pet to her loving and efficient care. 🐶❤️”
“Nikki has kept Cooper several times, even last min trips we take she has been available ! She sends me tons of photos and videos while we are out of town and is very prompt to respond to text. Highly recommend her !”
“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.”
“Our pup had a great time running with the pack at Richard's house. He also did a great job keeping us updated on our pups day and provided daily pictures. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of various breeds, personalities, and energy levels through regularly helping friends and their pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and understand the importance of following each dog’s individual routine and needs. My goal is to provide the same level of care, comfort, and attention that I would want for my own pet! I work from home so I have plenty of time to play, walk and care for your doggo! I am usually up pretty early and able to take your dog out as much as needed. My day can be flexible, so I can adjust to your pets needs and routine. I live in an apartment but have easy access to a dog park in my complex as well as walking trails and a large open grass field. I have a dog at home who is 6 years old and very friendly with other dogs!
“Who was going to watch our pup fell through at the very last minute before we had to go out of town. Paul was so quick to respond and confirm caring for Peter. Another added detail is he was in recovery from an eye issue and needed extra love and care as he had medication and a cone. Once we got there, he showed the spaces that Peter was going to hang out in, made sure to fully understand any special instructions that were needed and while we were gone, took such good care of him. He would go out of his way every day to send an update with multiple photos. I never had to ask. Everything was so clean and nice and we were put at ease the whole trip knowing that he was in good hands. 100/10 would recommend, your pet will be taken such good care of!”
“Kate and her family were the best -- our girl had a great time "visiting" and was well cared for and loved. It makes us feel so much better about traveling and leaving our girl behind -- thank you!”
“Our pups had a great time with Kathy! She made us feel at ease leaving our 11 year old girls in her care. She provided great photo updates during our time away. Thank you for taking such good care of Piper and Ella!”
About: I have had dogs ever since I was born! I absolutely love all dogs! I will play and snuggle and run and walk your dog as much as they need. I have always had dogs growing up and rescued my own in college. I fostered dogs in college and outside of college with my dog Ralph and just adore having a furry buddy around. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies and can keep up with any routine or training needs you might have! I work from home and am pretty much always available when it comes to a fur baby! I work part time from home, so my life is already centered around walking my own dog and I would love to add your dogs routine into my day! I live in an apartment with plenty of room for activities and lots of outdoor space to walk and run around! I can pick up and pup’s routine and easily work it into my day! I want to keep your dog’s day-to-day routine as close to you have it as possible!
“Michelle took excellent care of our energetic puppy Harper. We are so relieved to have found such a reliable person that we can trust to take care of our pet(s) so that we do not need to worry when we are away. Bonus, Harper had the best time following Michelle's dog Pheobe around and was able to learn so much about being with another dog. We look forward to having Michelle take care of Harper again.”
About: I have owned dogs & a cat for all my life! I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and attitudes. I have personally owned a gray cat, Yorkie, Rottweiler, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and a chocolate Lab. I have experience with all ages as well from puppies/kittens to elderly animals. I am currently in graduate school for my Master’s and do it online so I am home almost all day. Your pet will definitely get the one-on-one time they want and need. I love having an animal to keep me company! I live in an apartment but my complex has plenty of space to do walks and a fenced in yard for any dogs who want to run around. Personally, I also don’t mind animals who like to lay on the couch or chairs or similar furniture.
“Nadra was the BEST! I had never boarded my boys before but this particular trip I couldn’t take them with me. Anxiety ridden about one of my pups flippant attitude, I looked over so many boarders and came across Nadra! We went for a meet and greet and it was like we had all been there time and time before. We all felt super comfortable and Nadra was so kind and friendly. She welcomed us into her home, showed us around and was open to answering any questions we had! She calmed this mamas nerves and the boys took up to her and her doggos so quick. Her home was clean and welcoming. She has a fenced in yard and plenty of loving to go around for your pets! During the trip, she sent photos of my boys, it was so nice to see them relaxing just like they do at home and getting to play with her pups as well. I am so thankful for her and as soon as we book another trip when the boys can’t come along, she will be the first one I call! Thank you Nadra! I know this review is incredibly over due! I still appreciate you and your kindness over a year later!”
“Carly is amazing!! Charlie had a blast with her and her children. She kept me updated with pictures and texts. I’m so so happy and Charlie will absolutely be back to stay with her again :)”
“Amazing! I cannot thank Rebeca and her family enough for taking care of my 2 senior dogs for 9 days while I went on vacation. Knowing they were taken care of was such a relief. I was able to enjoy my trip. She sent me pictures every day. They had a great time.”
“Bailey had a wonderful time with Adriana and family. Adriana was so kind and attentive to Bailey. She was a great communicator and sent lots of great pictures of Bailey during her stay. We would most definitely use Adriana in the future when we need a sitter for Bailey. Exceptional experience in every way!”
“Mary Anne was so sweet and my dog was well taken care of. Daily updates and I could tell that Kimmy was calm and stress free when I picked her up. Would definitely trust Mary Anne to take care of my dog again. Also her home is in close proximity to the airport so it was quick and easy to pick up my doggie after my flight home. You can tell that Mary Anne loves dogs and will treat yours well.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lauren! My dog & cat absolutely loved her and when we came home, they were even happier than before we left. That wasn't the case when we had boarded them in a kennel on our last trip. We highly recommend her. An easy process too! ????”
“Alyson is absolutely amazing! She truly loves & cares for your babies like they are her own! Isla clearly had the best time! It is so refreshing & such a relief to know your fur baby is in the best of hands when thousands of miles away! We would 1000% recommend her to everyone & anyone we know! We will be using her again!”

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 Awendaw 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 Awendaw 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 Awendaw.
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 Awendaw. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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 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.
