“Ionna took great care of our goldendoodle Bernadette while we were away. She responded to messages quickly and made sure Bernadette felt comfortable in her space. We’ll be happy to book her again!”
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to family members, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, giving lots of attention, and following each pet’s normal routine. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your dog like they’re part of the family. I also work from home, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be very attentive to the pets in my care. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention, and I can usually accommodate weekday and weekend bookings. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and do my best to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.
“Jess was super accommodating to our travel schedule. While gone, she shared pictures to show how well our pup was settling in. It is obvious how much she enjoys her furry friends. Will definitely use her for our future pet sitting.”
“I am over pleased with Miriael. Fancy was well taken care of and learned some things about potty training that we have been working on prior to the booking. I will definitely be using her again. Also, I do think that she definitely deserves a tip, but I’m not able to leave what she deserves at the moment, but I will make it up on future bookings. Thumbs up to Miriael.”
About: I have taken care of my own personal dog since I was 8 years old, I bought her with my birthday money and she has been my best friend ever since. I’ve always had a love for animals and have dog sat a lot more in the recent years. I also have a cat I adopted several years ago that lives with me. I have experience administering medications and working with senior dogs, puppies, kittens etc. I also worked in a doggy daycare and got a lot of experience working there. I work from home, so my weekly schedule is very open and flexible. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whatever you need or want me to do no matter how absurd you think it seems, I do not mind doing it if it helps your fur baby feel at home. I want your fur babies to feel comfortable with me and I want you to feel comfortable too.
“Paris had an amazing time with Ms. Takilyah and we really are thankful for her keeping Paris while we had a road trip. She is amazing while we was on vacation she was sending us pictures of Paris have fun.”
About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.

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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Darlington 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 Darlington.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Darlington 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.
