“I was very impressed with Kimi's management of her pet boarding structure & care. She puts an Air-tag on the pets she is watching to ensure their safety. She was also careful to introduce her pets one at a time to assure that each pet was able to interact with my dog safely. Lastly, she has a separate room for any animals that are boarding with her . This gives the pet(s) a place away from her pets if they are uncomfortable or need time to themselves . I had concerns that my dog may have difficulty boarding somewhere other than our home because this was only the third time in almost 10 years that she has been boarded. Her last experience was extremely unsuccessful, to say the least, when boarded at a local veterinary hospital. Kimi sent me pictures a couple times a day and was very open to letting me text her with any questions or concerns that I had. I was extremely pleased with the way my dog felt comfortable interacting and being around her two dogs and two cats. My dog is the soul pet in our household, so this was a new experience for her. I highly recommend Kimi to anyone who is looking for a pet caretaker. Ellen L.”

“Haley, Was really great with my boy Sherlock. I was very happy with her professionalism and attention to care for my Sherlock. As well as the updates easing my mind that he was in good hands. Thank you Haley”
“Woody stayed 6 days with Nicole and her family. They allow your pet to be part of their family, with plenty of love, care in feeding and especially outdoors time on their own and with other dogs they get along with. He came home happy and tired…thank you!”
“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!”
“Terry and Kristal are wonderful! They we’re so attentive to our pup and they kept us updated throughout her whole stay. I would highly recommend and will be sending my dog there again soon!!”

“We can’t say enough good things about Tracy! From the start she paid such great attention to detail by taking notes and getting to know our dog’s routine. She introduced our dog to her two French Bulldogs (Bond and Money Penny) and they got along so well! They were very sweet and playful. During our dog’s week long stay, Tracy kept us updated through text as well as sent videos and pictures. Tracy is very knowledgeable and has great experience with dogs of all kinds. It was obvious that she has a passion for what she does and took such amazing care of our girl! We highly recommend her and plan to go to her for future care. 5 stars!!!”
“Max seemed very happy and well taken care of. I think he enjoyed playing with their dog Sammy and being around children. Thanks for taking such good care of him, see you next time!”
“Christie was great to work with regarding drop off and pick up as my schedule kept changing. She then sent me photos of my sweet dog while I was away. I would recommend her!”
“Zoe did a great job looking after Lew while I was out of town! She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures! She even gave me a report card of Lew’s behavior during his stay. I will definitely rebook with Zoe again!”
“Mary and her husband are taking great care of their "guests". Safe place to stay with lots of love given. They take the dogs for a walk and keep you updated with pictures throughout the stay.”
“Hannah Michelle was wonderful! She sent great pics of our pups everyday, welcomed them into her home, and made their week away from us totally stress free. I really feel our dogs were just part of her family while we were away. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Amber does a great job with my two dogs when she has them! She is very communicative and flexible. I had a flight issue and she made every accommodation so that I would be able to get my dogs even outside of the pickup window. Will continue to use her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Central
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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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, 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 Central.
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 Central. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 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 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.
