“We thought we would never get over losing the last per sitter once she told us she was moving out of state but we found an even better pet sitter ! Sally was so great with our Nala with constant updates and pictures and every single one with a happy smiling doggy. We are really thankful for Sally she was beyond great , she treated Nala as if she was her own . We will always reach out to Sally to help take care of our Nala .”
“We went out of town and there was an incident and needed someone to pick up our pooch asap. I reached out to Stacey and she made it happen, for the whole week AND leading into Easter. Our boy was in great hands and we can tell he was well cared for. She was quick to reply and went out of her way to help us. I was actually able to relax and enjoy our vacation because of her. We’ll definitely continue to use her:-)”
“I really do appreciate Nick! He always comes through when it comes to Mateo. I recently had surgery and had to come back down to Columbia, and he was able to take Mateo for me so I could have some time to adjust to my recovery. I’m forever grateful for him! He communicates so well, sends pictures, keeps you updated, and always lets you know what’s going on. He’s truly everything you could want in someone taking care of your dog, and I always feel comfortable knowing Mateo is with him.”
“I 100% recommend nontombe ! this was my first time using rover and not gonna lie I was worried, but nontombe was super nice and my boy warmed up to her very quickly ! I got picture/video updates everyday and I couldn’t be more pleased !”
“Kathy was great with my dogs. Good communication and pictures while I was away. She took my dogs last minute because of a family emergency and I’m very grateful. Will definitely contact her again for boarding.”
“Katelyn and her daughter were excellent caretakers for our Lena while we were out of town. Katelyn kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the week. We definitely recommended her to take care of your pets.”
“Sebastian is the absolute best! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He was responsive from booking til pick-up. He consistently updated me and sent many pictures of my baby, Caesar. Caesar has daily topical medicine that must be administered and Sebastian had no problem applying it for me. I truly believe Caesar felt like he was at home while in Sebastian’s care. I will absolutely be using his services again.”
“This was the first time leaving Cher Chee anywhere except a Kennel. Margie made me feel relaxed and Chee Chee took to her right away. We were gone a week and I felt certain she was in good hands. I will definitely use her again.”
“Lindsey & Aaron are so amazing. They took great care of our two hyper puppies and they came back so tired from all the fun they had. They always make sure to send us plenty of pictures as well. 10/10 Recommend!”
“Couldn’t be happier! Olivia loved her stay and having 2 little boys to play with was the icing on the cake. Nicole sent pics and videos which was awesome. Definitely booking again!”

“Carol is awesome! My two poodles, Cinder and Suzy, seemed to have no anxiety after meeting Carol and her husband. They had a great stay and Carol shared pictures during they stay. What a wonderful vacation knowing I did not have to worry as the doggies were in great and loving hands. You should definitely let Carol be your doggie daycare. I will never change my boarding choice again.....”
“They took amazing care of my dog for over two weeks! Daily walks and lots of picture updates every day. He looked happy and well taken care of. Very satisfied and would highly recommend!”
“Once again Lashika did an amazing job with our baby Mylo. He knows her and when he sees her he gets so happy. We have used Lashika 4-5 times and she has loyal repeat customers with us. She keeps us informed while we’re away and sends plenty of pictures and videos. Thanks again for taking care of a Mylo. Please schedule a booking with Lashika she’s so sweet and will take great care if your furry baby:)”
“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!”
“Lucas was so great! He was very attentive and responsive to any questions I had. He sent me many photos while I was away and kept me updated on how my babies’ day went with his new friend Bo.? I can tell Rigatoni had a good time with Bo and was in great hands in their household . Thank you for everything!!?”
“Ashley did such an incredible job watching my dog, I wish I could give her more than five stars. She was so attentive to his needs and was sure to send me so many pictures of my little guy while I was gone. I already told her we’d be using her again, because I’ve been so whole-heartedly impressed with her. She woke up early and stayed up late to adjust to my crazy schedule while traveling. Thank you so much, Ashley.”
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.
“We had a great experience with Kari. She was very accommodating and had constant communication with us while we were away. Our dog seemed to have enjoyed his time with her, as well. Will definitely rebook Kari in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I’ve taken care of, feed played with and walked family and friends dogs and always made sure they were safe I’m currently not working so I have time to play and walk with your pups.

I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!

Five stars! We couldn’t be happier with the care Ollie received. Sebastian and his family were wonderful and sent us great photo updates every single day, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Ollie came home visibly happy, relaxed, and in high spirits—it was clear he was treated like family and had the best time. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!
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!!
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.
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Irmo on Rover is $37 per night as of October 2026.

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 Irmo 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 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.
<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 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.
