“We are overjoyed to have found Sally! Having had a few bad experiences, our pups were behaving anxiously about yet another sitter. However Sally was quick to recognize this and give our girls extra attention. I can’t say enough about her and how she obviously cares for animals. She’s a true professional and we hope to rebook with her again and again and again!”
“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!”
“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.”
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 am able to board any day of the week at anytime! I do not have a fenced in yard but can assure you that your pups will be safe at all times. I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!
“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!”
“Therio and family were great with my girl! They took her on walks updated pics with me and spoiled her! Even Apollo enjoyed her company. Thanks for keeping Olivia last minute.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. My cat Chanel has been with me for 5 years and my cocker spaniel Bentley for 1 year. I’ll treat your pets like my own with plenty of walks, cuddles, and love. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your fur babies and I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am able to go home throughout the day and check on your pet if I’m not already home. I am usually home all weekend and if not then your pet is welcome to join my activities! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment community with three dog parks, giving plenty of safe space to run and play. I’ll always keep a close eye on them, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for in a secure environment.
“Accommodated my last minute booking with no problems at all. Was so sweet to Kona and she had the best time. I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands while I was away!”
“Once again, Assatta took amazing care of Joonie. She was very attentive to whatever his needs were and ensured she sent pictures or videos with updates daily. She was very flexible with times and worked around my schedule for drop off and pick up. She’s extremely reliable and I appreciate her treating my big boy like her own. He clearly had an amazing and eventful week bonding and playing with Assatta’s dog because he’s been knocked out resting and snoring all weekend long lol. I guess he has to catch up on his sleep now lol Thank you Assatta!! 🙂”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irmo
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!
Shae was AMAZING at making my dog and I feel comfortable with her boarding services! My rescue pitty can be a bit nervous in new places/with new people, and Shae took the time to properly introduce her to the space and ensure positive introductions with her dogs. She sent updates during the stay and my pup came home happy & healthy. Would highly recommend Shae’s services!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 363 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.
94% 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.
