“Alyssa watched my Goldendoodle, Roscoe yesterday. She was super communicative, sending me pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell he was being very well cared for. He is scared of new people and other dogs, and she followed all of my directions on helping him through his big feelings. Thank you so much, Alyssa! I will definitely be using you again!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have previously pet sat for many friends and family.

About: I love all animals! I have two senior dogs and a cat of my own at home. I've lived with a dog my whole life. I have been described as a dog whisperer by many friends for my knack of gaining a dog's trust very quickly. My first cat came in 2016 and I soon after became a cat lover. I typically have late afternoon to evening availability during the week and am completely free during the weekends for pet care. I occasionally have early afternoon availability during the week as well. I am available for overnight sitting and boarding. If your home is outside of my direct service area I do adjust my rates to account for additional time and travel. I am completely comfortable accommodating any\all pet care requests within reason. Whether that be letting your pet out in the yard for exercise/bathroom breaks, letting dogs/cats in and out of crates/bedrooms to eat or roam around for awhile. I'm also happy to just keep your pet company for the time I am with it, from petting to playing fetch or tug-of-war or just peacefully co-existing.
“Mrs Bootise and Mr Tommy took very good care of my fur baby while I was out of state on vacation. It was apparent by the pictures they sent me that he was very well taken care of and comfortable. I will definitely use them again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all of my life. We always had a furry friend in the house. As I got older I also started pet sitting for my siblings, mother, and friends. I have experience with younger dogs, older dogs, and cats. I love talking them on long walks and getting a good play session in to brighten their day. I live for the cuddles and I let them sleep with me if allowed. It warms my heart to get to meet so many new furry friends! I have a full time work from home job that is very flexible. Getting out the house to do drop ins or walks also helps me to get out of the house and I really look forward to it. House sitting is like a mini vacation to me with furry friends. My door is always open for boarding. Making sure that your pet feels safe and comfortable with me is my number one priority. I give each animal my full attention and devotion. I want them to have a great and fun experience.

Every day we do three walks with lots of time for play at home in between. I’ll also make sure to take lots of pictures to keep you updated on your dog.
About: I started my own neighborhood dog walking job at the age of 14 up until I graduated college. I took care and became very close with over 9 different neighborhood families pets. Most of the clients were ones who left for family vacations so I took care of them for long periods of times. I currently have six dogs: — Mali, Husky Mix, FS, 11 yrs — Rhone, St. Bernard, FS, 11 yrs, DEAF — Tanner, Red Golden, MN, 7 yrs — Teddy, White Golden, MN, 7 yrs — Tucker, Yellow Golden, MN, 7 yrs — Topper, Golden Corgi Mix, MN, 6 yrs — Ramen, Golden Bernese Mix, MN, 9 yrs — Kenny, Spaniel Mix, MN, 2 yrs — Henry, Chow Shepherd X, MN, 2yrs, BLIND — Tammy, DSH, FS, 2yrs I ran a local dog rescue (Eunoia Rescue) for 5 years and recently resigned to focus on my career. I have fostered over 60+ dogs in my home, ranging from one week old puppies to seniors with disability. In addition to running a rescue, I have also worked for a Dog Day Care for 3 years and a Veterinarian Clinic for 2 years, so I have a large amount of experience with animal care. I now work from home, besides having sporadic appointments with clients, so I have a pretty open availability. I am responsible, super outgoing, very clean, young professional who absolutely love dogs & animals and enjoy making them happy! Since I work from home when I don’t have an appointment, and have a very flexible schedule, I’m able to work with a customers schedule pretty well, too! I have a large acre fenced in yard, with a smaller fenced in yard within the larger yard. This yard is a turf yard, allowing the dogs to stay clean and they have a double fence, keeping them extra safe. They are all very obedient and thrive off of structure and routine. They are let out 5-6 times a day and get one 2 mile walk a day and fed twice a day. Their bowls are cleaned daily & their water is refreshed multiple times a day. Their linens (dog beds, blankets, plush toys) get washed weekly.

Blythe was a wonderful caring dog-lover to our little Hope, she took such good care of her and went the extra mile to make her comfortable. We would definitely call on her again. She has 2 little Shih-Tzu rescue pups, so Hope (also a Shih-Tzu) kind of fit right in to her lifestyle.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dorchester commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
