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.
“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!”
“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”
“Jianna was amazing. My dog was happy, I really appreciate her patience and understanding. We had a rough time finding a sitter thru this app, but Gianna came thru! My dog was well taken care of. I even caught walking down the steps!(which she never does do to her leg) but she came down so happy and playful. Thank you so much Jianna”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
“Kelly was amazing taking care of Stella for the past 9 days! She sent me updates and several pictures and videos of Stella and her dog playing. It's such a relief knowing your pet is in such good hands with Kelly. Highly recommend!”
“Michael and his wife were caring and loving with our two doggies. They take great pride in what they do and are genuine dog lovers. We will definitely reach out to them in the future to care for our girls.”
“Alexandria is so kind, gentle, and thorough! You can truly tell she takes care of the animals like they are her own. She wants to make sure they are comfortable and stick to their routines as much as possible. Rocky definitely enjoyed his time with her!”
“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!”
“Lexie is the best!! She is our go-to sitter in Columbia. She’s very attentive to both of our dogs and goes out of her way to ensure they get safe socialization with the other dogs. She even gave them a special treat for Thanksgiving. I can tell that they enjoy staying with her and the other dogs based on their excitement when we pick them up. Thank you for everything, Lexie!!”
“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”
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.
About: I am very experienced in taking care of and managing many different types of animals. I’ve personally owned a Chow, a Cocker Spaniel, and have owned 4 Yorkies. I now own 2 pit bulls my girl Destiny and my boy Bentley. Destiny is very kind, trained, and has never been aggressive towards any other animal or person and same with Bentley as well. We love being outside and taking a lap around the neighborhood or taking a hike through the woods. I love animals and look forward to working with you and your pets! My animals eat once in the morning and once in the afternoon, I typically feed them 12 hours apart, so whatever time I feed them in the morning goes around the same time I feed them in the afternoon I typically let them out in the morning after they eat, and depending on the weather, I’ll let them stay out in the back for a while I have a fenced in backyard so they all can play together and when I leave, I typically will either crate whoever is visiting and put my animals in my room or leave them outside there’s never any unsupervised contact
“Absolutely amazing! Kept me updated on Castle her entire stay. Sent plenty of pictures, was generous & very understanding when I had to rearrange our meeting time & drop off. I will 100% recommend and will be booking again !”
About: I have taken care of pets for 15 years. I am always that one friend or family member that will always come take care of the pets while they go vacation. I am experienced professional dog trainer so I am comfortable with most breeds and have great leash handling skills. I am currently working part-time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can be home 90% of my day. Lots of walks for my pups. I usually go to the gym for morning workout after early morning walks with my pups. I have a yard but it is not fenced. My dogs get multiple walks a day and they love to lay out on the fenced in deck. I normally crate my dogs when I leave the house. Depending on what your pet is used to just let me know. I am sure we can make it work!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Irmo
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!
Mickayla is the sweetest sitter! she was the first one to respond to my request & maintained great communication throughout all our interactions. her apartment is safe, clean & peaceful, & i was 100% comfortable leaving my cat in her care! thank you Mickayla for such a great experience!
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 Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 374 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Irmo. About 94% of Irmo sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
