“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“Ann was absolutely amazing with our baby! I was so nervous to try a new sitter, but so happy with Ann and her care. Ellie was loved so well and cared for. We got daily updates and pictures, Ann is our go-to from here on our!!! Highly recommend her service and care! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I am very nervous with who I leave my Rocky with, but after meeting Sonya and Anthony and all their furry friends I knew Rocky was going to be left in great hands. They had spacious room and area for all their dogs to run and Rocky was so tired from playing when he got back he slept all day Sunday! Sonya was also amazing on sending me updates on Rocky the entire time I was away and kept me in the loop which I was most worried about. Rocky was so happy to be with them and doesn’t like most people but warmed up to them very easily. 1000/10 definitely recommend and would rebook!!”
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my family. I currently have a dog of my own and understand firsthand how important it is to know that your pup is safe, comfortable, and loved when you can’t be with them. I have experience boarding my own dogs, so I understand what helps dogs feel happy and at ease while they’re away from their families. I know that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. My experience includes providing daily care and attention, administering medications, bathing and basic grooming, and making sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay. When your dog stays with me, my goal is for them to feel like they’re staying with family, not just being boarded. I'll give them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping them safe and comfortable in my home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which means there is almost always someone here to give your dog attention and care throughout the day. Our days naturally include regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. I am able to keep a close eye on the dogs staying with me and give them the individual attention they need, rather than leaving them alone for long stretches of time. I understand that dogs thrive on routine, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and rest schedules while they are with me. I also make time for plenty of love and one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because pet care is part of my everyday life, I am excited to welcome dogs into my home and make caring for them a natural part of my routine. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they are staying with me. I want every dog who stays with me to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pups can enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks in a secure environment. Inside my home, I believe dogs should be able to relax in whatever way makes them most comfortable. My couches are welcome to dogs who enjoy lounging and being close to people, and I provide crates for dogs who are crate trained and feel most secure having their own familiar space. I also have a separate room available for dogs who need some quiet time or prefer to have a break from the activity of the household. I understand that some dogs love being in the middle of everything, while others need a little space to decompress, and I am happy to accommodate both. Most importantly, I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup wants to play in the yard, curl up on the couch, relax in their crate, or have some peaceful alone time, I will do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable throughout their stay.
“Christina and Ricky’s home has become Jasper’s home away from home. Anytime I mention their name, he gets exited! During our meet and greet, my baby naturally gravitated towards them which let me know this was going to be a great match. Christina is reliable, flexible and communicates well by keeping me updated with the visit. We will continue to use her in the future!”
“Nicole has watched my sweet pup, Gunner, multiple times now! She even is watching him again on an upcoming trip of mine. She makes sure to send photo updates every day, and Gunner comes back so so happy every time he leaves there. He absolutely loves it there and I can't be more thankful or impressed of how loving and caring she is towards every animal she watches! 10/10 would rebook and recommend :)”
“We brought our Newfoundland puppy here for the first months of her life. You can tell she loves Terry and his family. Also they are very flexible and accommodating!”
“I cannot say enough about Debbie (and her husband Chris)! As a pet mom, I really need to have confidence in my sitters so I can get work done, or just to be able to relax. I have not found anyone better than Debbie to watch over my Tommy. She sends photos and lets me know how he's doing while I'm gone. He even fell in love with Gabby, one of Debbie's own dogs! So you know that he loves to go away to camp now! Leaving Tommy with Debbie has been a true godsend because I know he will be safe and loved while his mom is gone. Many thanks to Rover for having someone like Debbie as part of their team!”
“No words can express the gratitude I have for these two! I was extremely nervous to leave my dog Tucker as he is a dog with high anxiety. But only after an hour or two I was getting picture updates reassurance and peace of mind. Tucker had such an amazing time. He didn’t wanna come home lol”
“Our 8 month old puppy stayed with Tracy for 5 nights when we went out of town. This was her first time staying with someone else so I was a bit nervous but there was no need to be. Our puppy was so well taken care of and I was kept well informed with texts, pictures and videos. It made us so happy to see our puppy happy! I would highly recommend Tracy!! We will definitely have Tracy watch our puppy again in the future.”
“Stephanie was absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ I get so anxious leaving my baby, but from the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease. She was such a great communicator and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, every day, which made such a huge difference. I was able to actually relax and enjoy my trip knowing Alphie was in such good hands. Stephanie has the sweetest personality and was an absolute joy to work with. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and Alphie had SO much fun with her. When I came to pick him up, he almost didn’t want to come home—which has NEVER happened before! 😂❤️ That alone tells me everything I need to know. I will absolutely be using Stephanie for all of my future dog-sitting needs. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. If I could give her a million stars, I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Margie is amazing! She took care of our little blind man (Yorkie 14 yrs) for a week while we were out of town. She made sure to make him feel cozy and safe and sent pictures of the naps and outside time. It really looked like he was living his best life!! Being an old man he has a few medications and Margie made sure he got those and even gave him a little sponge bath. She’s great at communicating throughout the entire process. Thank you so much Margie!!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Andrew! He was very kinda and great at communicating. I really appreciate how he took his time to get to know and understand my dog. This is the first time I’ve ever left her with someone else and he made it very smooth. I will gladly trust him with my dog and will be booking again in the future!”
“Leslie is the BEST! We loved her kind, gentle attitude and the love and individual attention she gave Floyd. She welcomed him into her home and treated him like her own. We (and especially Floyd) loved that she took him on hikes every day. We will definitely use Leslie again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Central is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $46 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 579 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Central. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Central 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 Central 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 Central.
<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 Central 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.
