“Sebastian was amazing with my Marley. He was very attentive and very personable. He sent us updates everyday and was a pleasure to work with. We will only trust him from now on with our Marley.”
“We felt so comfortable that Gina was taking care of our lab while we were away. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog with anyone, and it was a fantastic experience!”
“Our fur baby, Lena, had an awesome week with Carol! Carol did a wonderful job taking care of Lena and keeping us posted throughout the week with status updates and pictures. Carol treated Lena like she was her own providing love, exercise, and stable routine for her. I highly recommend Carol to care for your pets.”
“Jud and Nicole were just amazing! Lulu had the best time playing with Baxter, who is a great dog! I would definitely use them again and again. I absolutely recommend them!”
“Lucas was amazing! My Peaches is shy and a bit anxious. Lucas took his time with her and helped her get over her fear. Peaches had a good time, Lucas send photos and updates every day. I totally trust him with my Peaches! And BoPeep is a sweetheart too!”
“We love Lindsey and Aaron! They were so sweet to our boy and he had the greatest time! He was so tired after playing all weekend he wasn’t even excited to see us haha we will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again guys!!”
“WE LOVE STACEY! Our babies have never been boarded before and they didn’t miss us lol!? Stacey walked them and cuddled them! They had such a good time! She also made sure to send pics everyday and she communicates everything with you! Thank you so much!”
“She was wonderful with Spike! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for while we were away. Her 3-year-old absolutely loved him, which was one of the sweetest parts of the whole experience. Spike was a little shy about eating at first, so she actually hand-fed him his breakfast until he felt comfortable enough to eat. That told me everything I needed to know about how loved and cared for he was while we were gone. Spike came home happy and clearly very comfortable with his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to keep him. Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn and her daughter were amazing. I’m pretty sure this was the best time my dog has ever had at a dog sitter’s home. I got lots of pictures of Charlie being cuddled and he looked so happy ❤️. Katelyn was also super patient with us when our plane kept getting delayed. I would choose Katelyn to watch my dog again in a heartbeat!”
“Ashley was great with my two pugs and kept in touch throughout their 4 day stay with pics and texts. One of my dogs is still sort of a puppy and has a lot of energy so it was helpful that she had a back yard to run him around a bit. I was happy to see them well taken care of!”
“We love Sally! She always takes such great care of our little Charlie. Our puppy comes home ready to nap from all the fun and playtime with Sally. She’s simply the best!”
“Our baby was well taken care of and had the best time with her stay. I received so many photographs and daily updates. I wasn’t worried about our sweet girl while we were away because she looked like she was having the time of her life!”
“Margie takes excellent care of our special needs dog Veda. Veda enjoys the other pets because they are repeat visitors so she always has a friend there she knows which helps a blind dog.”
“Wonderful in every single way! They took the best care of my dog, sent me pictures of her every day, and took her on long walks and runs which she loved. Would recommend and will be booking them again!”
“We invited Kathy to meet Mikobefore we all made final decision and our Miko fell in love! Kathy was awesome regarding staying in touch with us with pictures and text messages while Miko was at her house! Miko loved being there and made friends and gained a buddy! Our hearts were are so grateful for Kathy and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing Miko was well cared for, safe and happy! We would highly recommend Kathy if you are looking for a sitter who will take great care of your pet, show them lots of love and attention and stay in touch! She is very sweet and we are blessed to have found her on “Rover”’”
“Lashika was great. I had reached out months before I needed her, we kept in touch and had our meet and greet shortly before our cruise. She took great care of our boys for almost 2 weeks. She sent pictures and kept us up to date on them. Needless to say we were excited to see them when we got home but we were able to relax on our cruise knowing Lashika was taking excellent care of them. Thanks so much for everything ? Bear and Murphy's mama”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs for about 7-8 years now. Able to let out often, take on walks when needed and able to calm down at night! I have a full time job where I can work from home at anytime. Can let out any pet at any hour of the day! I have a fenced in back yard that’s about 5,000 square feet. My neighborhood is pretty flat as well so walks are easily doable for any pet!
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I work from home full-time, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel like a home away from home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I'll be available all day to supervise and care for your pet. We'll enjoy playtime throughout the day, along with morning and evening walks, weather permitting. I have a fenced-in yard and a 6-year-old female American Staffy named Lilly. Lilly is very social and gets along great with other dogs and even cats.
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irmo
Gina was phenomenal from start to finish! This was our first time away from our puppy and she made the process so smooth. She kept us updated frequently with pictures and was accommodating with all instructions given. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be rebooking in the future!!
Sebastian was fantastic with our dog. He shared pics multiple times a day and gave us consistent updates. Our dog had a wonderful time and was well cared for while visiting. They have a very large fenced backyard that allows for zoomies and exploring. We will be using him again in the future.
Katelyn was awesome. It was a short notice stay, so I appreciated her flexibility. Ellie did great and was very comfortable with her and her dog. I highly recommend her for keeping your fur babies if you live in the Irmo -Chapin- Ballentine area. It was easy drop off and pick up. I was able to take care of some tasks easier and didn't worry about the quality of care. She sent pics and a video.
We are so glad to have found Lucas to watch our dog while we were gone for 5 nights. He was responsive, answered all my questions, and offered a meet and greet ahead of time. We felt at ease leaving Miles with him and while we were gone got daily updates, pictures, and videos. Miles came home happy and cared for. Thank you so much!
Jianna did an outstanding job caring for Khase while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Throughout Khase’s stay, she kept us updated and gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. When we returned, Khase was happy, well cared for, and comfortable. He did not want to leave her & her family..lol. It was obvious that Jianna treated him like part of her own family. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
We highly recommend Melanie and Addison. Our Fozzie and Winton were in such great hands with them, and we loved receiving pictures while we were away. They were easy to communicate with, quickly responsive, house was very clean, and from the pictures they sent I could see our fur babies were happy. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur babies while we were away!
We had such a great experience with Brittany! From the start, communication was clear and timely, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog in their care. She provided updates, photos, and made sure our dog got plenty of attention and cuddles. It was obvious he was well cared for and happy while we were away. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book again!
Jessica was wonderful! She is SO friendly and accommodated our pup really well. She kept us updated with photos and texts so we could stay in the loop from far away. She even kept our dog a little later than we had scheduled because we were driving home from vacation. We really enjoyed getting to know her and feel very comfortable with her caring for our dog when we’re away. Thank you, Jessica!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Irmo on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 375 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Irmo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Irmo sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Irmo landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Irmo 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 Irmo.
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.
You and your Irmo 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.
