“Ann is one of the nicest Rover sitters we have ever used. Our senior dog has some anxiety, and Ann was so wonderful, and patient, with him. She reached out with updates and questions to ensure she was able to do all she could to make him comfortable and feel more at home with her and her family. We are grateful for all of her help and support and highly recommend Ann.”
“Angela and Rick went above and beyond in caring for our little Bean. They are an incredibly kind and genuinely sweet couple. We truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos they sent us throughout Bean’s stay. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with Mr. Bean—Angela and Rick will always be our first choice! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for loving our baby as much as we do!”
“Kimi is amazing!!!! She has a real special love for animals! I knew my “Bit” was in great hands! After picking her up, she has come back to me more loving and gentle! I give Kimi two thumbs up!!!! Thank You for loving and taking care of my little girl while I was away!”
“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.”
“This is the 2nd time we have used Raquel for overnight stays while on vacation. She is beyond fabulous and we can tell our dog, Brooks, is very well taken care of. She sends lots of pictures and is great with keeping us updated/responding to messages which gives us peace of mind. You can tell Raquel is a kind person who truly has a passion for caring for animals. I wound recommend her to all family/friends! We will be using her again, thank you Raquel!”
“Emily was awesome! She kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages. I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog while on vacation with Emily. I'm very pleased and will use her for the future.”
“We have used Sean a few times now and he has alway taken good care of Charlie. He is also very good at communicating drop off/pick up and always sends us pictures of what Charlie is up to that is always appreciated during his visits. I would highly recommend Sean as your next sitter.”
“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!!!”
“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”
“I had to book a sitter last minute and didn’t expect to find one. Instead, I found the perfect sitter that Iggy had a blast with! Iggy is very energetic, but she got all of her energy out here!”
“Lauren was great! Cooper was very happy to stay with her and her family. She was very friendly and made sure my dog was comfortable and stressed while we were gone. Cooper is excited to stay with her again soon!”
“I am glad I left my Tank under their care. I received pictures of him everyday and occasional videos. He was well taken care of, and I would not hesitate to bring him here again. In fact, he will be coming here again next month, and a few more times throughout this year. Thank you!”
“We used Wendy to watch our dog Max for the second time last week. She sends pictures every day and I know from her comments that he is well taken care of. She says her girls love him and I won’t hesitate to use her and her family again!”
“Pepper took great care of our toy poodle, maltipoo, and chihuahua for 3 days and sent a lot of pictures of them having fun and relaxing. We could tell she spent a lot of time with them and gave them a lot of attention because they took to her well and wasn't in a rush to leave to go home!. We have taken our pups to many different people through Rover, and Pepper is one of the best! Highly recommended!!”
“Matthew and Heidi were extremely patient with Daisy. She was unexpectedly nervous but they provided a wonderful environment and adapted to her needs. I’m very grateful for their loving care and kindness.”
“Jay was an amazing sitter for almost a week for my dog. She sent videos and pictures of him throughout each day and made him feel right at home. She was even thoughtful enough to wash his harness when it rained. It was so comforting to know he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Jay and definitely hope to have her watch my sweet Leo again!”

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Central on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 589 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Central sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Central landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
