“Alyssa was phenomenal! My dog can be a bit energetic (understatement…) upon meeting new people, but Alyssa stayed super calm while my dog ran in circles around her house until she finally wore herself out. Alyssa was kind and gracious and sent lots of pictures and loved on my crazy pup like she was her own! I truly cannot recommend her enough!”

“Hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had! took such incredible care of Frankie. Between daily walks, outings with her dog, and her sweet kids giving him so much love, Frankie felt right at home. He normally freaks out from separation anxiety when I pick him up, but he was completely calm and happy. That spoke volumes! Absolute green flags all around—we’ll definitely be using them again whenever we can.”

“Kelly was so wonderful with our 10 yr old Peek-a-Poo Sonny. We have never left him with anyone other than family and I was a little nervous at first to use a pet sitter. I was so happy I found Kelly. I searched and searched reading so many profiles on rover.com before choosing Kelly. I know I found the perfect person. She was wonderful. Her communication before leaving him and during his stay was Perfect! She sent pictures every day and he was so happy!! I will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet pet lover.

“I have used Rover a lot over the years and I am not exaggerating when I say that Taylor is the best Rover we have ever used! She took incredible care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She sent so many thoughtful updates with pictures and took them on long walks. I could tell they were happy and relaxed by how much they loved snuggling with her on the couch! Taylor is a true dog lover and so kind, I can’t recommend her more!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johns Island
We were visiting Charleston and needed to board our Dog for 2024 hours. Anna turned out to be a wonderful dog sitter. She kept in contact with us and sent photos. Her house is well suited for boarding and she is close to a park for dog walking. If we ever return to Charleston, she will be my choice.
Lynn was great as this is my first time ever having to use a stranger for my 16 year old dog. She sent pictures to show me how he was doing and kept me updated. Would definitely recommend Lynn for all your pet sitting needs. Also, her dog Atticus is a sweetheart.
She's amazing. First pet sit away from home for my pup and she had crazy anxiety issues. Robin jumped right in and was very sweet and patient. The next day, Jasper was more like her normal self. Tons of pictures and updates throughout the 2 days. We will definitely be using her on a more normal basis moving forward if she'll have her back. Thanks Robin.
Amber was fantastic with our Cali. This was the first time Cali had stayed with someone other than extended family. The continued communication from Amber let us know Cali was doing great. She came home happy, healthy and clearly enjoyed her time away. We will definitely ask Amber to keep Cali in the future.
Rachel is the absolute best! She watched our border collie, Izzi, or 10 days. It was hard to be away from our girl for that long. but we felt like Izzi was very well cared for the entire time. Her home is clean and organized and her sweet dog Ava and Izzi became fast friends. During the heat Rachel made homage popsicles and brought out the kiddie pool… always going the extra mile. Very highly recommended.
Cameron was once again great with Charlotte! When we had a last-minute flight change and needed to drop Charlotte earlier than planned the next morning, Cameron responded immediately, despite it being late at night. We really appreciate how responsive and accommodating he is. Thanks, Cameron!
Cynthia was awesome! Sent pics and spoiled my little “baby” with the comfort she requires!! The family member that I had to go pick her up said that my little dog was sad to go home. Haha! Thank you for taking good care of her! We will definitely be using Cynthia again!!
Marie is without a doubt, the best sitter I have had the pleasure of scheduling. Right from the beginning, she was friendly and a wonderful communicator. During my pups stay she kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures throughout. I know my pup was well cared for and cannot recommend her enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Johns Island is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,087 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Johns Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of sitters in Johns Island 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 Johns Island home-away-from-home, 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 Johns Island.
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 Johns Island 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 , 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 .
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.
