âAmaris was FANTASTIC! I had to book her last minute due to a family emergency, and she was such a great communicator. She also sent me pictures everyday recapping the day and my pup was smiling in all of them. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Amaris!â

âGabriela was fantastic! She was so easy to coordinate with on the front end, and very accommodating for a last minute request. She was also great with my pup and sent multiple pictures each dayâ


âJonathan and Carla did such a great job with Captain. They sent pictures and he was obviously having a grand time. They also agreed to keep him on short notice when we had a family situation come up. Really appreciated their help.â

âSasha was great! Excellent communication both before and throughout our dogâs stay. You could tell she spent a lot of time with our dog and he was very comfortable with her. He almost seemed a little sad to come home.đ We will definitely book Sasha again for any future dog sitting needs.â

About: Iâm a registered nurse with a lifelong love for dogs, which means safety, reliability, and attention to detail are always my top priorities. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and providing extra patience and comfort. Having moved here from Philly, I truly miss having a dog of my own, so I treat every pet I care for like family. Iâm calm, observant, and dependable, and Iâm especially comfortable with routines, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra care or reassurance. Whether itâs walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while youâre away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off where Iâm completely available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care.I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. Iâm happy to work around your dogâs routine and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. As a nurse, Iâm highly attentive, detail-oriented, and trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I carefully follow all routines and instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. In a clientâs home, I respect your space and keep your petâs environment clean, calm, and familiar. In my home, pets are supervised, never left unattended for long periods, and kept in a secure, comfortable setting. I use leashes at all times outdoors unless otherwise instructed and avoid dog parks unless explicitly approved. I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while youâre away. Your petâs safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
âCarla was an amazing dog sitter for our 11 year old Goldendoodle Henry. She sent pictures and text updates frequently, created a care plan, and even gave him a bath. I felt confident the entire time that he was in the best hands. I will certainly be looking for Henry to stay with Carla next time we are out of town! If you are looking for a caring person to watch your dog, I highly recommend her. â¤ď¸â

âConnie was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time leaving Dixie other than with family! She was well taken care of. Connie provided a safe and happy environment. Connie is our new family member and we will leave Dixie with her from now on! Highly recommend Connie for all your doggy needs.â

âWe couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Emily kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gunner came home happy and clearly well-loved. It was obvious he received lots of attention, playtime, and excellent care. It's such a relief to find someone who treats your pet like family. If you're looking for a loving and reliable Rover sitter, I recommend Emily and Tarek without hesitation. We'll definitely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Gunner!â

âAlyssa was so great! Sent regular updates with pics/videos and she was so patient with my dog who takes a little time to warm up. Gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away!â

About: Kind, caring, gentle. High energy and I like nothing more than going for a good long walk. I enjoy getting to the beach. love being around dogs. I love to play and very open to cuddles. Just recently retired (young) so I have a lot of new found time on my hands. Flexible schedule for the most part. Weekends are also ok for my schedule. Have permits for Sullivan's ansld go there almost daily. I am very outdoorsy. I enjoy going for long walks but equally as happy staying in. I have a fenced in yard. I am firm but playful. In control and physically able to handle big dogs. I respect owners wishes and follow instructions to the letter
âRachel was wonderful! Took great care of Trooper, he seemed to love her and her dog Sadie who is an absolute angel. She sent picture updates every day and made me feel very comfortable. Will definitely be booking again!â

âWe would be happy to have Zach watch our dog again! His communication was great with updates and photos daily while we were away, and he went above and beyond to make sure our pup got a special treat for her birthday that would work for her allergy and dietary restrictions which was very thoughtful. Highly recommend Zach!â

âNadra was AMAZING! I was worried about leaving my Gunther with someone new, but Nadra kept us in the loop with updates and pics and it was super easy to work out schedules. Gunther was a happy pup when I picked him up. No stressing out and he seems to want more playtime now that heâs home. He must have really loved the doggy company at Nadraâs. Thank you, Nadra!â
âNick was great! He communicated in timely manner, very flexible, friendly, and took excellent care of Cooper. We will definitely be using him for all of our future boarding. Highly recommended!â

Amanda and her husband were absolutely amazing with our high energy golden retriever puppy! Our first interaction with Ananda was warm, and full of thoughtful questions to make sure they were the best fit for our dog. During our trip, Amanda was communicative, sending morning and evening updates with photos and made us feel so comfortable, knowing he was getting the best possible care while we were away! A special shout out; our puppy is apparently a bit of a diva and absolutely refused to walk UP the stairs to their home, so they carried him every time he needed to go outside, which is just so above and beyond! Weâre so thankful for their flexibility (and athleticism!!) and canât think of anyone weâd rather leave our pup with during future trips!

Sarah was fantastic! This was my first time since adopting Molly that Iâve left her with a sitter and I was nervous - but only until I met Sarah! She was great with Molly, communicative and friendly. She sent plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. Molly had a blast with Sarah and her dog. I would highly recommend her - sheâs great!

Chloe was absolutely wonderful with my black lab Brewer! She took such great care of him while I was away for a couple of nights, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was super communicative, sent me pictures and updates. She has a very kind and genuine personality, and Brewer looked so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Chloe and will definitely book with her again! đžđ

Had a great experience with Amelia and Tyler. They were so understanding and flexible when it came to drop off and pick up times and we so appreciated it. They sent photos daily and I did not worry about Darcy being in their care at all. I would definitely rebook with them again.

Alyssa was so great with our golden retriever puppy!! It was our first time leaving him for the weekend and she made us feel so comfortable and made sure he was so well taken care of! He can be a ball of energy and Alyssa made sure he got enough exercise and shared photos and updates of all the fun they were having while we were away! We will definitely ask Alyssa to watch B again for our next trip!!

We were in town and needed a sitter with only a couple days to prepare. Jesse was available and very willing to take out little guy! He was great at communicating and meeting us on arrival and pickup. Grateful that Cheddar had a great stay with him and would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Charleston on Rover is $49.91 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 1,098 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Charleston. 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.
91% of Charleston 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 Charleston 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 dogâs confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Charleston 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 Charleston.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Charleston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
