(Important to me) Buddy immediately ran into her house like they were old friends, Not common behavior for him.He knows when I am getting ready to leave him I was pleased that he was so comfortable there. The care was exceptional. Thank Kendra”

She is very sweet and kind.Our 2 yr old Shitzu was very happy when we picked him up.She sent us many pictures and many updates.She responded everytime I reached out to her.She also accommodated us when I had to change the drop off time. Thank you Whitney!”
“Raquel is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while taking care of Max and Trigger, to include sewing Max's harness back together when he chewed it off. I strongly recommend her services!!”
“Merrell was an ideal sitter for my dog, Trixie. She communicated well, and sent lots of photos. Her home is neat and clean and she has a large fenced yard. I will definitely ask Merrell to keep Trixie again when I visit Columbia for football games!”
“I'm so glad I found Evelyn W. as a sitter. Smokey Loves going there playing with here fur baby Smokey. I feel so comfortable leaving him there with her family. Smokey enjoys being there.”
“Keith was everything you could ask for in a sitter! Bubbles was chill and calm and actually didn’t want to leave. She whined the entire time home. Too me, with a rescue dog who trusted no one, his level of care speaks volumes. We received text and pictures and videos. He was very considerate and even wished us a Merry Christmas. More importantly, he wasn’t in it just to get paid!! That wins me every time!!! Thanks Keith; I’m recommending you to all my friends.”
“She was sooo awesome at communicating she sent updates every day showing me how happy my dog was she accommodate every need I had she responded quickly each time she even took him on walks !!!!!!!”
“We have never left our dogs with anyone before. Ms. Kathy made the experience wonderful and they were very well taken care of. If we ever have to leave them again we will definitely use her again. Thank you Ms. Kathy”
“This was our 1st time using Rover for our 2 cats. The cats got their own private room and Leigh kept me posted on how they were doing. I’d definitely board them with Leigh again.”
“I appreciate Nick so much! I needed a pretty last-minute booking while traveling down to Columbia to visit family, and he accepted Mateo within just an hour or two. He took such great care of him and sent me pictures throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. Even within the first 10 minutes, I texted to check on Mateo, and Nick reassured me that he was doing great and that he was enjoying his company. His communication was amazing, and he really took the extra steps to make sure Mateo was comfortable and well taken care of. As someone with a reactive dog, I’m VERY particular about who I trust to watch him, so I’m really glad I found Nick. Anytime I’m traveling to Columbia and need someone to watch Mateo, Nick will definitely be my first choice!”
“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.”
“Monica is simply the BEST! She was able to accommodate my dates at the last minute and my fur baby immediately fell in love with her! She asked lots of questions about Bailey's likes and dislikes because she wanted to make sure her experience felt just like home. Monica kept me updated through messages and pictures, which were appreciated. We love Monica and will definitely call on her again!”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”
“This was our first time ever boarding our 17 month old Shih Tzu. And we had to leave him in the cone of shame for a sore he wouldn’t stop licking. I was uneasy to say the least. But our little guy liked Evelyn from the start. She has a calm, easy going demeanor that he liked instantly. She sent me photos and updates regularly especially since I was nervous about the sore on his skin. His stay went off without a hitch. We will definitely be using Evelyn again. Grateful for her good care of our sweet dog!”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blythewood
Where do I start! Kendra is God sent!! In a matter of hours I had to change sitter, the initial sitter didn’t give me good vibes at all! Kendra didn’t hesitate to accept my request. When I arrived at her house she greeted me welcomed me in. Her house and yard is very very clean! My fur baby walked in as if he was already home, he was immediately comfortable in her presence. She sent videos and pics and my fur baby was extremely happy! When I picked him up she had all his belly together and he was unscathed lol, even better than when I left him. I already booked his second stay, we found our forever sitter!!
This was the second time Alicia watched our dog, and we were so excited she was available again and in short notice over the holidays! She is amazing with our dog. Walks every morning when the weather is nice, photos and updates. We can tell she is treated like family, which gives us peace of mind while we are away. We highly recommend her!

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.
95% of sitters in Blythewood 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 Blythewood 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 Blythewood.
<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 Blythewood 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.
