“Alex is extremely flexible and communicative! My dog absolutely loves him and will get super excited when we are on the route to go to Alex. She is always tired after dog daycare until even the next day (which is saying something since she is a high energy dog). Alex is very thorough and will ask a lot of good questions to get to know your dog better. Highly recommend to all dog owners!”

“i can tell dog had such a great time with tonianne and that he really loves her, very excited to use her services again you can tell she really cares about the animals she’s watching!”
“Ren and Kelsey were fantastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. They were able to accommodate us and it has been a huge help leaving our pup Angelo with them during the day. This was my puppy's first time at doggy daycare and he loves it so much that he doesn't want to go home! My hyper puppy comes home really tired and we've seen some behavioral improvements too: he's more calm at home and now respects our senior dog's boundaries. Angelo used to be hyper-attached to me but now he's learned that there's more to life than following mom around! I highly recommend Ren and Kelsey and feel confident leaving Angelo in their care.”

“I really appreciate Alice taking Duke in last minute. She kept me updated and Duke was the same happy pup when I picked him up, which is very important to me. Will definitely use her again.”
“Abi is very nice and has taken care of Maia very well. We love taking Maia there because we are assured that she is well taken care of. She gets a lot of play and we receive pictures during the day, which I really appreciate. Thank you, Abi!”
“Jenna did an amazing job taking care of my two doggos while we took an out of town day trip! I really wanted someone we can trust to ensure my 16 year old shitzu is calm and comfortable while we’re away … he’s developed separation anxiety on top of having dementia and is half blind and deaf now and can work himself up into a tizzy when we’re away from the house for more than an hour! I am so thankful that Chewy was well taken care of and it was such a relief not to worry about him! We will definitely work with Jenna again!!”
“Ozzy was so happy and comfortable and hes my difficult pupper so needless to say she did amazing job with all 4 of them and was amazing with update photos and communication 10/10 would recommend to any one needing a relaxed environment for any of your fur babies”

About: I’ve had a family dog since I was in high school and have always been a dog person. I currently have a 4-year old pitbull mix. I’m looking to earn some extra money to pay off some medical bills. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I work full-time remote, so I can dog/house sit when needed. I also can pop in to let your dog out or take them on a walk before, during lunch, or after work in the evenings. I’m open to taking your dog to nearby parks and trails if you’re comfortable with that. I live in Park Circle and do many walks around the neighborhood here and in Riverfront Park. If you’re comfortable with my other dog around, great — If not, no worries!

Absolutely loved having lisa watch Skye while we were in Charleston! She was so caring, and treated my dog like her own. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such great hands. She sent me pictures the whole time. Her dog was also so sweet and friendly with mine, and they got along wonderfully! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will definitely be booking with her again the next time we’re in Charleston! 🐶❤️ Highly recommend her
Alita is amazing!!! Just moved here from Vegas and have been looking for a home away from home for my sweet baby Blue. My separation anxiety has been a bit high especially in a new state, new environmental variables with a Frenchie but Alita set all my worries to ease immediately!!! He had so much fun, made lots of new friends and I got lots of pics!! I couldn’t be happier!! I am so thankful!!

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 Forestdale 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 743 sitters in Forestdale, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
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.
