“Maddie and Granger were awesome! Chessie had such a good time and was exhausted when she got home—a good sign, for her! She even ate for Maddie, which is astonishing—she is sooo finicky! We got pictures and video and could definitely tell she was having fun. When she got home she curled up on the sofa and crashed. We can’t wait for her to go back!”
“My pups came home very happy after their very own vacation with Mari. They also got to spend some time with other dogs. Updated with pictures/videos whenever I requested, easy and communicative, will most definitely use again!”
“Sandi was a great host for our dog Rocky! She updated us frequently and sent pictures too. Rocky is an older dog and she tended to his needs perfectly, we highly recommend her!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my older small dog with Nicole. She sent lots of pictures and was reassuring, and my dog was in great shape and very happy when I picked her up. Will be using Nicole again!”
“Jeffrey is a wonderful host. He sent me detailed updates and tons of pictures every day. Our pup was very happy and comfortable spending time with Jeffrey and his family.”
“Family friendly home. Fenced yard and clean. My girls were taken great care of, and I was updated through my vacation. I would recommend Amy and will be booking again.”
“I had such a great experience, it was clear how much they genuinely love and understand My pup instantly felt comfortable, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, which made me smile and feel connected the entire time. When I returned, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave, and I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“My dog was literally treated like he was a king! The time & care was noted by the pics and messages that were sent to keep me updated. My dog was living his best life! Definitely a 10 out of 10! Will book again!”

“Luciana & C are great! My fur baby stayed a week with them and I feel they loved on him as I do. Great communication and kelp in touch daily with us. I highly recommend them for your fur babies. We will definitely choose them again.”
“Joanne was a great sitter! She was kind enough to allow us to come pick up our two pups each day to take them for outings on the beach. She let us come and go as needed and our dogs were happy to come back to her house at the end of each day. It’s obvious that Joanne is a true animal lover. We will definitely bring our dogs back next time we’re in town.”
“This was our first time using Rover or a dog sitter. We were a little nervous, but Judy was great with our two dogs. She sent me pictures and answered my texts immediately. Would definitely recommend!!”
About: I am new to this site, but have used Wag! for quite some. I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young child and since then have taken care of almost every type of domestic animal. Whether you need your dog or cat walked, sat for, or boarded I can help. There's no dog too stubborn or cat too mean. I'm comfortable with all animals. Anything can be worked out... if there are instructions I need to follow, information I need to learn, or skills I need to master to make you feel safe, leaving your loved one with me I am willing. I am perfectly comfortable administering pets medication, tending to elderly pets, or even bottle-feeding any type of fur baby. When it comes to boarding, I have two live-in very friendly doodles, I trust them implicitly but they can be easily be kept (via large centrally located gate) separate from your fur baby if necessary or you feel more comfortable that way. I have a large fenced in backyard. My property is covered in cameras, both inside and out. I also have a GPS tracked fence and can have your pup wear a gps collar while staying here if you’d like for extra security. I would also be happy to pick-up and drop-off your pet to help make your travel plans more convenient and less stressful for you. I am not a giant stickler for start and stop times. No one can plan for traffic or a delayed flight. Travel is stressful enough so there should be no need to worry about that, everything can be worked out. Feel free to book me for sitting services if you need help whelping when your dog is in labor I am very familiar and could be a great help. I’m excited to meet and spend time with your fur baby family member 😁😁😁 I work from home, so I’m available for as many pet walks as walks as necessary, pet sitting and boarding. If I board your pet they will almost never if not actually never be left alone. I live in a house in a safe friendly neighborhood. I have a large fenced in yard that is reinforced with industrial chicken wire to prevent any smaller pups from escaping. Also, any dog that is to stay at my house can (upon owner request and or approval) be fitted with a GPS tracker for their stay here so they can be monitored by me at all times, even when just in the backyard. My property is covered outside and in with cameras and I have a security system. I have every size of cage and playpen if you’d like your pet to be kennel at night or if I have to run out for a minute. I also have a large gate in the main hallway of my house, which can be used to keep your pet separate from my two friendly doodles if that makes you more comfortable.
“My Scout had a great stay with Carmen and found a new doggie friend in Tyr. She played and was very comfortable and happy. We will definitely be back next time I need a sitter. Carmen knows dogs and was very reliable and flexible.”
“We had quite an eventful day when tried to head on our vacation. Needless to say we didn't get there when we wanted. However, Jenna stayed up until we were able to arrive and was very kind. Both my dogs immediately went up to her and you could tell that they were both going to be great. I've never left my dogs with someone that I wasn't close with so I was nervous. But Jenna sent videos of them playing and took some pictures so it easily calmed my nerves. We will definitely use her again if we ever go there. Oh! Jenna also has a really cool dog room in her house for the pups to sleep and it is awesome! We will be using Rover from now on. ”
“Elvera is wonderful with my Champ. He has so much love for her family and really enjoys his time with her family. She sends update pictures and they are always on the go which Champ adores so much. As long as Elvera has openings this will always be his 2nd home. Thank you so much for loving and caring for my Champ.”
About: When I was growing up, I woke up every morning to the sounds of some sort of pet feet on the floor; There were cats, dogs, rats, hamsters, birds, reptiles, and everything in between being cared for by myself and my family at some point or another - I guess you could say my love for animals comes honestly! Can't get enough frame-worthy photos of your favorite four-legged kids? ...me either. That must be why I take A TON of pride in photographing your fur-babies and providing some great candid, funny, and of course, debonair shots during my visits - so be sure to have some empty frames on hand, just in case ;) I am comfortable and experienced with a myriad of dog breeds and different animals (please feel free to reach out with special requests!!), and I am happy to provide drop-in's just to visit, feed and cuddle your dog, cats, ferrets, etc. - I am even more pleased to offer a walk or run that is personally catered to your pup - old or young, big or small, and I am fortunate to have plenty of flexibility to do it. Hour-long walks are available upon request, and I can often arrange an even longer extended outing by request, as well - maybe a trip to the park or beach while you have a day-date or a spa day! :) You will also notice that I offer a price break per visit on each pet after the first. If your pet comes to our home, he or she will have access to plenty of space in our large, fenced in backyard. We are also in a very pet-friendly neighborhood for walks, without a lot of traffic. I will only accept one dog per sitting (unless from the same home), to ensure your pet gets the best care and all the spoiling during its stay with us. Please note that the other dog listed on my account is actually my "dog-brother", and he does not reside in our home :) Please reach out with questions about pets other than cats and dogs! New to Rover? Get $20 off your first visit with me by copying this link! https://www.rover.com/sit/DailyPupdate Working mostly from home and under my own schedule, I have plenty of time to provide care to your pups and they are welcome to ride along, should I end up leaving. My husband typically works from home, as well, and loves furry visitors. Our home has a large backyard with plenty of space for fetch or just hanging out, with plenty of shade, as well. Water will always be available!
“Nina was everything I could hope for in a pet sitter! She loved on my pup like her own and updated me frequently on how he was doing. She went above and beyond to work with my anxious puppy on his walks. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years! I have basic training skills and love being able to take care of and help other dogs and pet parents! I am a stay at home dad and would love to have some new dog friends around to hang out with and get myself and my kids outside a bit during the day! I have a fenced backyard and my neighborhood is nestled far back from any main streets. We have a nice quiet street across for a small pond.
“After Hurricane Helene, we escaped to Myrtle Beach until our home was livable, but our hotel didn’t allow dogs. Anthony came to the rescue for the entire week with one hour notice and our 2 dogs were so happy with him! We visited through the week and they were happy to go back inside with Anthony. That speaks volumes as to how happy and content they were with Anthony. I would 100% recommend him to other dogs owners. Thank you again, Anthony!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 208 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gilliard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
95% of sitters in Gilliard can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Gilliard 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 Gilliard.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gilliard. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Gilliard 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
