“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”
“They are absolutely great! We are doing the day care, and the first night Comet (my super SUPER high energy dog) came home tired! He had all day to play and run around. They have a great space for the dogs. Highly recommend! They sent me updates and kept me informed as well.”
“Michael & wife (Tracy, I think) were such a pleasant surprise considering I booked last minute. So accommodating and super sweet people. Amazing with dogs, as my baby is very skiddish and slow to warm but adopted easily in their home. The second day my dog came right up to Michael, excited and tail wagging. It was a huge relief. I booked last minute after a little crisis and was so thankful to have such good people take care of my dogs. There a little out of my way but I trust them 100% with my dog. Thank you again!”
“Teia had a great time and came home ready for a nap. Lyndsay sent beautiful pictures which we will treasure. And really appreciate her flexibility and agreeing to our last minute request for daycare. See you soon!”
“Jennifer and her husband were so kind and made me feel so comfortable with my first Rover experience! They have a great fenced in backyard for dogs to play in, and their dogs are very sweet. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a sitter!”
“Shannon is wonderful! She sent me pictures and updates on how Mav was doing throughout the day. Maverick had so much fun and was exhausted afterwards. It was only his first time, but I know he can’t wait to go back!”
About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
“I am very impressed with Daniel! He and Bentley got along beautifully and Max proved to be a good doggie friend. Daniel has a very calm demeanor and sweet disposition- Bentley became attached immediately since he is rather calm. Daniel took exceptional care and responded quickly to my silly check-ins during the day. I highly recommend Daniel!”
“Caroline was a gem we are so thankful we were able to find her with such short notice since we were in town for my brothers army graduation and glad she was able to work with us and our fur baby. We can tell Toby( our fur baby) just had an amazing time with her and the other pups she was very appreciative to him and updated us throughout his day. Will definitely be booking with her again if we come back into town.”
“I feel so fortunate that found Katheryn to watch Blue while I work in Columbia, South Carolina. She's so sweet with Blue, flexible and reliable, I highly rerecommend her and will use her any time I'm working in the area.”
“Omgosh! Michelle was our hero the weekend of my nephews wedding! Newly relocated to the Charleston area, we knew no one to watch our pup while we went to Savannah for the wedding. We found Michelle in Savannah, and she was wonderful!! So sweet and loving to our 10year old poodle bichon, and he seemed to be comfortable with her and her place right away. If you're looking for the perfect dog sitter, look no further, Michelle is your gal.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.
“Buttercup had a great time with Kira and friends. She came back happy, tired, and well taken care of. Kira was friendly and helpful with our new baby fears. Buttercup will be back for sure?”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was 14 for my neighbors, family dogs and my own dogs. I own a 2 year old Dalmatian and a 7 year old schnauzer, also 2 cats that I love so much! I have a part/time job working from home and a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of my dogs and my cats, we go on walks 3 time a day and love going to the dog park. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, my dogs love their kennel, they nap in it and sleep in it.
“Chad was very accommodating to our variable timeline. He was super responsive, and sent updates during our dogs visit at his house. Our dog had so much fun being able to go in and out of the doggy door and play in the backyard!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I understand the routines, personalities, and little quirks that make each dog unique. Being a lifelong dog mom means I’ve handled everything — feeding schedules, exercise needs, training basics, medication routines, and plenty of love. I’m very active, so your dog will enjoy engaging walks, outdoor time, and fun play sessions that match their energy level. Whether they’re a high‑energy adventurer or a slow‑paced stroller, I make sure every outing is safe, stimulating, and tailored to their comfort. At home, I’m all about affection. Snuggles, belly rubs, ear scratches, and kisses are part of the daily routine. I create a warm, cozy environment where dogs feel secure, loved, and completely at ease. My goal is always to make your pup feel like they’re part of my family while you’re away. I’m a stay‑at‑home mom, which means my schedule is wide open and fully flexible. I’m home throughout the day and able to care for puppies and dogs anytime. Whether you need last‑minute help, daytime care, or consistent weekly support, I’m available and ready to give your pup all the attention, playtime, and snuggles they need. Your pup will have a blast here- a fenced yard to run and play. Have a sweet fur baby here to keep them company and help feel right at home. It’s a fun, safe, and social environment full of wagging tails. I’m also happy to stay in your home if your pup feels more comfortable in their own environment. I provide the same loving care, snuggles, playtime, and attention right where they feel safest. To help maintain their routine and provide consistent, reliable care. This option can help reduce stress and keep your fur baby in a familiar, comfortable space.

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 Gaston 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 255 sitters in Gaston, 82% 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.
