“Tucker enjoyed his stay very much. In fact he was more reluctant to leave than we would like to admit LOL. Kimmy and Dylan were very loving and gracious hosts and we will definitely be using them again.”
“Cannot say enough good things about Mike! Our dog is our baby and I've never left him with a pet sitter before so I was very nervous but the second we met Mike & his girlfriend and they welcomed us into their lovely home we knew that Morgan would have the best time and be well taken care of! And he certainly had a wonderful time and definitely was well taken care of! Mike was so great texting me pictures and updates throughout Morgan's stay, I didn't have to worry or wonder once! Cannot recommend Mike enough! Now I just need him to move to Charlotte :)”
“Anthony was awesome! He was communicative and clearly a dog lover. He is a cute dog Duke that kept our company. He sent photos. The ground great walks.Let our dog on the couch and even in his bed!! we will absolutely use him again if he’s willing to take Pippa back”
“Our pup, Finley spent 2 weeks over the holidays with Abby and her family! She was amazing with frequent updates and pics that made us feel confident that Finley was having a great vacation too!”
“Julia was awesome! I went down to Charleston for the weekend and wanted to bring my pup but leave her somewhere close so she didn’t have to be in a hotel by herself while we did tourist activities. She was super flexible with us with pickup times and very responsive to messages. I’d love to rebook with her and her sweet pup again if I’m back in the area.”
“Chloe was a wonderful sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Kona, on short notice after my original pet sitter canceled, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent plenty of updates, photos, and videos throughout Kona’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even took Kona and her own dog to the county park one morning! I would definitely recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter :)”
“This was Bobby’s second time staying with Kerri for a week long visit and knew he would be in great care. She kept us updated throughout and voluntarily helped with the optional care to keep his allergies manageable. Thank you, Kerri!”
“Kathryn was amazing! Winston loved his stay- playing with her dog & family. I got daily updates of how he was doing and pictures. When I picked him up, I could tell he was happy and had a great time. He ate so much better than he usually does when staying with someone he doesn’t know & she had him on a similar schedule. Would totally recommend her and will rebook as needed!”
“Kaylie and Jonathon were awesome caretakers for our anxious pup. They were extremely communicative throughout his stay and sent us daily photos. We will absolutely be using their services again in the future!”
“Parker was so happy when we picked him up from staying with Brett and Mercedes! They sent photos, videos and lots of updates! Made our trip even better knowing he was cared for like he was family.”
“John (and Faith) were simply amazing! They boarded our two dogs for a week and a half while we were out of the country. Their communication was excellent with daily updates and photos. Their own dog Brodie (adorable) is a sweetheart and got along great with ours. They took them on daily walks, visits to the dog park, and allowed them to sleep on the bed at night, making it a true home away from home experience. Very thankful to have found them. Will definitely book with them again. And you should too!”
“Alita and Tim were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Louis! They took such great care of him and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We received frequent updates and plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. They were also incredibly easy to communicate and coordinate with from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Louis with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters!”
“Carla 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. ❤️”
“Gracen and her husband did a fantastic job watching our dog for the weekend. He must have been very active all weekend because he slept for an entire day after we got home! Gracen was very responsive and extremely kind and helpful. We absolutely will be booking with them again!”
“I can’t recommend Jill enough! She takes such great care of my dog, Hayes, every time she watches him. Hayes absolutely loves her and always has so much fun when they’re together. She takes him all over town for adventures, ensuring he gets plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and snuggles! It’s so clear she genuinely cares for him, and I love knowing he’s being spoiled with attention and care while I’m away. I can’t imagine a better sitter for Hayes—she’s the best!”
“Jeff is incredible. This is the second time he’s watched our dog and he goes above and beyond in communicating, and making us feel good while we are away. He is so good with him, and we know Bigg is in good hands. We will always use Jeff when we go out of town!! He’s the best!”
“Could not have asked for a better sitter! Morgan and Matthew treated Norman like he was their own and spoiled him with so much love and attention. They even had a pup cup ready for him when I dropped him off. It was obvious from the updates and photos that he was feeling right at home. I think he was genuinely sad to leave when I picked him up 😂 I would 100% recommend - they’re the kind of people you hope to find on Rover!”

Jenn took such good care of Sydney, our second time booking her and she's fantastic. She sent pictures and regular updates throughout, which we really appreciated. Sydney came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Jenn is so good with dogs, we never worry for a second when Sydney's with her.
Emma was the best with Sadie! I was worried about Sadie’s anxiety and a weekend away as we just moved to town, but Emma made sure Sadie felt welcomed and loved! Her roommates and teammates were an added bonus, such sweet girls! Definitely will be rebooking her for Sadie on my next trip!
Fantastic! When staying with Jeremiah my dog was living his best life! He cruised the town in a convertible, hit the sand at Sullivans, sunbathed on the back porch & snoozed on the sofa (using Jeremiah's feet for a pillow!). Communication was perfect & the photos were awesome.
William was amazing! He took my dog in last minute when she got sick right before a vacation. He gave her the proper medicines, kept me informed all throughout my trip and sent lots of pictures along. I can tell she bonded with him so much and it made me relax while I was away. I would absolutely recommend him to watch anyone’s dog! Thank you again William!!
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! We’re so thankful for their flexibility (and athleticism!!) and can’t think of anyone we’d rather leave our pup with during future trips!
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! 🐾💕

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
