About: I’ve been a passionate dog lover and hands-on pet owner my entire life, with over 25+ years of practical experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Because I currently do not have any resident pets of my own, my home offers a quiet, stress-free environment where your dog gets my full, undivided love and attention! As a dedicated full-time host, your pet will enjoy constant supervision, structured routines, and plenty of individual care. I specialize in hosting crate-trained, spayed/neutered adult dogs who thrive in a calm, safe setting. For maximum safety, all guest dogs are accompanied on a secure leash during outdoor yard breaks. Whether relaxing indoors or enjoying individual play, I treat every guest dog with the exact same care and attention as my own! Because I provide full-time, in-home pet care, my daily schedule completely revolves around my guest dogs! My routine is structured around consistent check-ins, regular scheduled potty and stretch breaks, and supervised playtime. Because I am home all day, your dog will never be left unattended for long stretches. A Typical Day Includes: Morning: A bright start with an outdoor potty walk on a secure leash, fresh water, and breakfast served right in their designated feeding or crate spaces. Midday: Regular indoor playtime, companionship, and scheduled afternoon yard breaks. Evening: Dinner, a relaxing evening potty walk, and settling down for a quiet, restful night in their comfortable crate. Whether it’s a weekday or a busy weekend, my schedule is entirely flexible and focused on keeping your dog safe, happy, and on a comfortable routine! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My 1,300 sq. ft. home provides a clean, calm, and welcoming environment tailored specifically for guest dogs. Here is how I care for guest pets in my home: Dedicated Crate & Rest Spaces: To ensure every dog feels secure and gets proper downtime, I require owners to bring their dog's familiar crate. Crates are kept in dedicated rest areas for quiet bedtimes, mealtime separation, and brief quiet periods. 100% Leash-Guided Yard Time: Safety comes first! My backyard has open sections, so all guest dogs are walked on a secure leash or long line for all potty breaks and stretch sessions. Your dog will never be left unsupervised outside. Zero Territorial Stress: Since I do not currently have any resident pets, your dog gets my full, undivided attention without any resident dog friction. Structured & Safe Supervision: With a strict limit of 3 to 4 guest dogs at a time, I keep group dynamics peaceful and stress-free. Dogs are fed separately in their own spaces to eliminate food tension, and I maintain regular updates and photos for owners throughout the stay. I treat every dog staying under my roof with the utmost care, respect, and family affection!
“I left Toutou with Nicole and her husband for the weekend, and she made the whole experience stress-free. She was accommodating from the start and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She took Toutou to the dog park, so I know she got plenty of exercise and fun, not just basic care. I'd book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. 🐾 We are very happy we met them! 🐾”

“Tamara was a great caretaker! My shy pups warmed up to her and felt at home (: she kept in touch with me while I was away, and I'm glad to have found a safe place for my dogs to stay while I'm away. ”
“Emily and her family were great! I have two large dogs and when I picked them up, they were exhausted from all the fun they had. I 10/10 recommend her for your fur-babies and would definitely book with her again!”
“A heartfelt thank you to Terry and her wonderful family for treating our sweet Kennedy-Lynn like one of your own during her stay. Knowing she was surrounded by so much love and care made all the difference while we were so far away. The daily updates and adorable pictures gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip, knowing our girl was happy, safe, and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Terry and her family—10 out of 10! Thank you for loving Kennedy-Lynn as if she were part of your family. We are beyond grateful and will definitely be back!”
“Yolanda was wonderful! We were able to go over and meet her, see her home, where our pup would stay, see her meet the other dogs, etc. It gave us peace about leaving her. She was a wonderful communicator and kept us informed on how Cora was adjusting. When I picked her up she had her all ready to go - she had her stuffed nicely packed up and Cora on her leash. It was a wonderful first experience and I look forward to the relationship that we have started to help care for our girl!”
“Courtney is/was AMAZING from the meet & greet until the pickup! She sent us updates, pictures, and videos of my fur baby. She loved him just like he was her own. I could not have come across a better sitter. I almost don't want to say how great she was so I can keep her to myself, but if you book with her you will not be disappointed. We have a sitter/friend for life. Thank you Courtney, you are the greatest!”
“Jen was awesome to our 10 year old lab and 1.5 year old rescue mix. This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy with the experience and care our boys received. We will definitely book with Jen for all future stays!”
About: I am a stay-at-home mom and just recently received my master’s degree in human and animal behavior. My main goal is to help as many animals as possible whether that be training them, babysitting, or simply being a friend to them so that they can always feel special and loved. I am currently working from home so I have a flexible schedule and am able to care for your pet any time of the day. I have plenty of energy to play with your pet when they are feeling bored. There is also enough rooms so they can have their own space if they need alone time. I’ll follow their lead.
“Sarah was great with our cat who has anxiety and had never stayed overnight at a sitter's home. She even allowed me to extend our cat's stay for a little longer due to unforeseen circumstances. She was very sweet and we appreciate her looking after our fur baby!”
“Alexandria was very kind and treated our boy, Diego very well. She was always available to answer questions or send pictures and we had absolutely no issues with her or her husband.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balltown
This was our very first time leaving our sweet girl, Saydee, with anyone, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Saydee struggles with anxiety, doesn’t do well around other dogs, and won’t even let us clip her nails. So naturally, we were nervous about leaving her. But she went above and beyond! Not only did she make Saydee feel safe, comfortable, and loved, but she even managed to get her safely playing with another dog AND clipped her nails! We were absolutely amazed! Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Saydee and treated her like one of her own. Finding someone you can trust with your fur baby is priceless, especially when they have special needs like our girl. We are beyond grateful! We already plan to have her help train Saydee, and she will absolutely be our family’s regular sitter moving forward. If you’re looking for someone patient, knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. We couldn’t recommend her enough!

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 Balltown 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 Balltown 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 Balltown.
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 Balltown. On Rover:
- 89% 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 Balltown 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.
