So nice & accommodating, & my dog was clearly happy with her "new people" when I picked her up after a week. For a sec, I almost thought she wouldn't want to come home!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 19 years. I've cared for three senior dogs of my own in the past, two who had chronic conditions. I have experience administering medication and providing special care. In addition, over the years, I've gained experience caring for the dogs of other owners. I'm retired and home full time. Your pet(s) will have all-day care. I'm fully devoted to caring for your pet(s). Your pet(s) will be pampered and spoiled as if he or she was one of my own. Your pet(s) will receive multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In addition, pet(s) will get daily play time in large fenced backyard and if requested, daily walks. I have a half an acre fenced backyard, so plenty of space for your pet(s) to run around and play. Clean dog beds, and if preferred for sleeping, crates with beds for all sizes. For the length of the stay, your pet(s) will be able to make himself or herself at home.

Aric did a great job with our 3 yr old Rottweiler. Our dog has never stayed with anyone before and our first experience with a full blown kennel over a year ago was a call to come get your dog after he was there for less than 1 hour. He ended up coming on our trip with us. This time we managed to be away for roughly 5 days and the dog was happy at Arics, happy dog, = happy owners! Will definitely use again!

Crystal took such good care of our puppy who has anxiety when in new situations- her whole family was understanding and gave him tons of loving. Also, he is on a special diet and she made sure he only ate what we gave and correct amount so he didn't get sick. She even watched him two extra days when we gave late notice which helped us out a lot. Crystal and her whole family are animal lovers and I ensure you your pets will get the love and care they deserve.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 27 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I am attentive, dependable, and comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full time stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. I am free to care for your pet all day every day of the week. I currently have a 4 year old lab mix who is nervous around strangers, but he loves to play with other dogs. My daughter is currently 13 months old, so if your pet will be in my home, all I ask is that they are potty trained and can be good/gentle with kids, for my daughter’s safety. Our dog is an indoor/outdoor dog. He spends most of his time inside, but he likes to play outside in our fenced in yard during the day as long as the weather is good. We have a screened-in porch with a fan for him to rest in while he is outside, too. He is free to go in and out of it as he pleases. Our dog is free-fed, but we are also used to following feeding schedules from caring for our elderly dog who recently passed, as well as my family’s dogs. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment with consistent care and attention. If desired, I can offer daily walks, whether your pets are boarding with me or receiving drop-in visits. I can also play fetch and provide medication administration, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Every dog deserves companionship and care. I can ensure they receive plenty of affection, attention, and individualized care from myself, my husband, and my daughter. She is very gentle with animals and absolutely loves interacting with them—it’s truly sweet to watch. I offer flexible care options to accommodate different routines and needs, whether your pet requires simple visits or more structured boarding care.

Cynthia is a 10/10 Trusted Sitter. If I could give her over 5 stars on Rover, I most certainly would without hesitation. The ‘start to end’ booking process was seamless and she was excellent to communicate with. She was beyond accommodating and all I needed to really know upon pick up was how my Tegan behaved. She did not want to leave Cynthia’s side which was a GREAT sign. Thank you Cynthia and Miles for opening your new, clean home to Tegan and spending time with her. Having to travel often for work doesn’t make it easy leaving my dog daughter behind but knowing she’s in good hands with you and close by, makes a world of a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this service as an option here in Polk County, TN!!! Looking forward to our next Rover boarding with you in a couple of weeks!

Elaina took such great care of our Stella! She consistently sent updated pictures and videos of Stella and provided daily updates on her well-being. Stella received lots of loving attention just like at her home. We felt happy that Stella acted and looked very happy in every pic that was sent. Stella came back clean, and calm seemed to be so relaxed. We will be using Elaina again!! Great backyard for an active dog like Stella. She seemed to have made a new friend with "Bug", their dog and their sweet two-year-old daughter.

We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was 10 years old, and being around animals truly makes me happy. I’m a big animal and nature lover, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, loving, and very detail-oriented, so I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I create a calm and cozy environment where they can feel right at home. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your fur baby will rarely feel alone and will be treated like part of the family in a calm, loving home environment. We have a large fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. My sweet Golden Retriever, Fifi, is gentle, friendly, and loves the company of other dogs, making it a warm and welcoming environment for your pet. I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for.

Darlene was wonderful caring for our two dogs. They had never been away from us and we didn’t know how well they would respond. Darlene was exceptional when dealing with our one dog especially because he had separation anxiety the first night but Darlene was able to make him feel secure. The fact they both still ate okay was so reassuring. She sent us regular updates and pictures which is very important in helping owners feel secure about your pets safety and comfort. It made our short vacation so much less stressful knowing our pets were in good hands. Darlene’s setup with a nice green area fully fenced in was perfect and our dogs. We would definitely recommend Darlene with no hesitation.

About: Reliable in-home pet sitter focused on overnight house sitting and routine-based care. I help pets stay comfortable in their own home environment with consistent feeding, walks, play, and companionship. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets and pets that require medication or special attention. My approach is calm, structured, and dependable. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine and keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I maintain a consistent full-time work schedule during the day, but I specialize in structured overnight house sitting and routine-based care. Pets in my care receive: • Morning care (feeding, walks, attention) • Evening care (feeding, exercise, companionship) • Overnight presence in your home Most pets do well with a stable routine and normal daytime alone time. I ensure consistent care before and after work, as well as overnight supervision. Clear communication and reliability are priorities for me throughout each stay. I treat every home with respect and follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal environment and routine. Safety, cleanliness, and attention to detail are my priorities. I ensure doors, routines, and pet care instructions are followed exactly as provided. If anything unusual occurs, I communicate quickly and clearly so you’re always informed.

Megan and Jeff were amazing! I was so anxious leaving Sioux with a sitter, but Megan made sure to provide me with plenty of updates and pics which helped calm my nerves. Sioux was able to settle in quickly, and when we went to go pick her up, it seemed like she didn't even wanna leave! (She has separation anxiety, so this was a huge win!) I could tell they treated Sioux like one of their own. I'll absolutely be reaching out to Megan again if I'm in the area and fully trust them with my pup!

About: Your peace of mind and their happiness are my top priorities! I am dedicated to providing peace of mind to pet parents while they’re away. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat them like family. When your fur babies are in my care, they’ll receive plenty of attention, snuggles, and love. I have a large, fenced-in backyard where they can play safely and enjoy the outdoors. You will receive many updated, pics and videos while your pet is here having fun. I’m home 90% of the time and make it a priority to plan my activities around what best suits your pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s sticking to their diet, getting the perfect amount of playtime, or providing them with rest when needed, I tailor everything to their routine. I ensure that your pets feel included in everything I do, making them feel like they’re part of my family during their stay. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. My life revolves around my clients’ schedules, and I always plan activities based on the pet’s specific needs. I try to stay home as much as possible, ensuring the pets feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings. During the day, your pets are free to hang out with me in the living room, kitchen, or even my bedroom. I aim to provide a routine that feels familiar and comforting to each pet, adjusting based on their personality and needs. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and at home as possible during their stay! I care for pets with the same attention and love that I would give my own. In my home, I have a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime and outdoor fun. I’m also centrally located in a wooded neighborhood, right across from a beautiful forest preserve, which means lots of fresh air and opportunities for nature walks. My split-level home gives me the ability to separate pets if there’s ever any tension, ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I’m home most of the time, so I’m always available to stick to your pet’s proper diet and administer any medication they may need. I’m flexible with pick-up times to accommodate your schedule, and I make sure that boarders in my home are treated like part of the family. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or yours.

Deree and her husband were wonderful with our English bulldog, Parker! She’s not even a year old, so it meant a lot knowing they took extra care with her and paid attention to her needs as she can be very hyper at times and needs some re direction. I felt completely at ease the entire time knowing she was in such good hands. I forgot to pack enough food for the second day, and they stepped in without hesitation to make sure she was fed and well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Their yard is nice and fully fenced in, making it a safe and fun space for the dogs to play. Parker clearly had a great time she slept the entire day when she got home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl. We will definitely be using you again!

FAQs for Boarding - Charleston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Charleston on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 198 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Charleston. About 97% of Charleston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 TN 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.
