“This was our first time ever boarding our 17 month old Shih Tzu. And we had to leave him in the cone of shame for a sore he wouldn’t stop licking. I was uneasy to say the least. But our little guy liked Evelyn from the start. She has a calm, easy going demeanor that he liked instantly. She sent me photos and updates regularly especially since I was nervous about the sore on his skin. His stay went off without a hitch. We will definitely be using Evelyn again. Grateful for her good care of our sweet dog!”
“Brenner and her family are awesome. They loved and cared for our Teagan as if she was their pet. We were updated with photos & it was clear our high energy, mischievous dog was happy and well taken cared of. All 5 stars for them. We highly recommend them.”
“Lauren is amazing! She watched my two dogs last minute, followed their feeding and medication schedule, took them on walks, and sent lots of photos and updates. I always am nervous to leave my dogs somewhere new and she completely put me at ease. My pups came back happy and relaxed, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“This is my second time having Kristen take care of Lilith while I was away. She did an amazing job once again! Great communication. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for their pet to be loved and well taken care of.”
“Shannon was great with our pet Zeke in booking a last minute reservation. She was great with communication and photos while we were away which helped with ease of mind. She seemed experienced in pet care and that was also a plus. We would definitely bring Zeke back for a future visit.”
“She was the best!! My baby loved her and she sent plenty of pics. He came back with all his stuff and litter box cleaned!! Rates are affordable and communication is Top tier. Will book again”

“Our dog was well taken cared for by Leigh. I think she spoiled him because. He moped around all the next day after we brought him home. He surely missed Leigh, Chris and, the other dogs. We will definitely be using her services, again. Thanks Leigh!”
“Jennifer did an outstanding job of caring for our dog, Casper, for a week. Casper had plenty of playmates and was very comfortable. Jennifer sent us messages and photos almost daily. We highly recommend her.”
“Maria was so kind and patient with my spoiled rotten doodle! I know my pup can be a handful, and I know she had a hard time being away from me for the first time overnight, but Maria did everything possible to keep her happy. She also was wonderful about working with me on pickup and drop off! Traffic was terrible, and she was very accommodating. Thank you, Maria!”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! I received daily pictures of my dog and he always had a big smile on his face! Kayla took care of my baby like he was her own! Will definitely use next time I have to go out of town!”
“Janece and Matthew were gr8 with Lovie. She was definitely cared for. She is VERY spoiled and requires a lot of attention. Thank you so much. I would recommend this home to care for your fur baby/babies.”
“Whitney and her family were wonderful with my pup! She’s an older dog and walks slow and snores loud and Whitney and her family showed he lots of love and attention, I felt like my pup was on vacation too! It was such good peace of mind to know my pup was being treated so well and cared for and was spoiled with lots of love and cuddles and attention. Thank you so much Whitney!”
“Orlena is great! She did a wonderful job of caring for my sweet pup. She is very kind, open in communication and caring. It was great not having to worry about how Tate was doing over the holiday since I was receiving lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Orlena!!!”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Horatio 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 Horatio.
<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 Horatio 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.
