“I had a great experience with Jen! She was friendly, reliable, and took wonderful care of my dog. I really appreciated the daily picture updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog loved playing with hers and came home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Excellent communication, made sure to let us know how our boy was doing and if something was wrong. She helped our boy when he had loose bowels and got him feeling better ! She loves our boy and I’m sure he loves her !”
“Kim is the best sitter we've experienced with Rover! She's a keeper, literally. Our very needy dachshund feels at home with her and that's saying a lot!! We don't worry about our dog when she's with Kim.”
“Samantha was great! She was constantly sending us updates and pictures while we were away. Gunner loved making new friends and he can’t wait to visit Lady and Layla again!”
“This holiday was the first we weren’t able to bring our dog Koko along with us on our trip. We felt a little anxious about leaving her with someone we didn’t know. Zac made us feel comfortable and put our minds at ease knowing that she would be taken care of. Updates with pictures were definitely appreciated. Would recommend Zac to anyone we know!”
“It was a pleasure dealing with Sarah and Hagan! They showed me where my dog would be told me what activities they planned to do with him and even let me walk the compound to see their set up! Between the 2 of them they had no issues answering all 100 of my questions and I will be using them going forward no question.”
“Jennica is amazing with my Luka! She is wonderful on keeping in touch with me while I’m away and sends pictures and updates through out the day. She is the sweetest and has been available when I need her. I’m at ease where ever I go because I honestly trust that my fur baby is in good hands and well taken care of. I’m so happy I found her. ♥️”
“Kristina was so sweet and had great communication throughout the stay! She took amazing care of my three pups, and they all seem very happy. My dogs also seemed to love spending time with her pups. We’ll definitely be booking with her again soon!”
“Aubriana was fantastic! She was super responsive and kept me updated throughout the stay with great pictures and videos. My pets were exceptionally well taken care of, and I couldn't be more thankful. I'm so impressed with her care and would absolutely book her again!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She is very attentive and caring, and kept me updated with lots of cute pictures. She has a giant backyard and a great neighborhood for long walks. Her dogs are gentle and fantastically well trained. If my pup could talk, I’m sure he’d tell me he had a great time with Rachel and can’t wait to go back ☺️”
“Whittney was incredible. I was so nervous to leave my Ghost because he has a lot of anxiety and she kept me reassured and up to date with pictures and updates the whole time. She was responsive and so incredibly kind. Ghost had the biggest smile in all of the pictures and videos she sent so I know he had the best time!”
“I highly recommend Jennifer she does an amazing job we will definitely be having her watch our fur babies again if we ever need someone, she kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures and always made sure the dogs had what they needed!! Thank you!”
“Harper had a wonderful time staying with Karen! She sent photos and kept me updated throughout Harper's stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Karen was always quick to respond to messages, and when our trip ended earlier than expected, she was incredibly flexible with our early pickup. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Your pets will be in great hands!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Parker! Payton took amazing care of him while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Parker was clearly happy and well-loved the entire time. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly cares for the pets she watches. Payton will definitely be my go-to from now on!”
“Cassie was great and left me with no worries on my trip! She sent multiple updates every day, and best of all, she got along great with my girl! Will definitely be coming back if needed and recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for multiple friends and family members, caring for their pets while they were away and making sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! As a medical student, I spend a lot of my weekends relaxing at home, studying, and enjoying time outdoors—so your pet will have plenty of company! Dogs can expect lots of walks, outdoor playtime, and attention throughout the day. For cats who prefer a cozier weekend, I’m happy to provide plenty of attention and cuddles (if they want them!) and would love to have them as my study buddy. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and individual needs to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and exercise. I also have a friendly 8-month-old Golden Retriever who loves making new friends and having a playmate! If your pet prefers their own space or needs time to decompress, I’m happy to keep them separated as needed. Inside my home, I have a separate guest bedroom where your pet can have a quiet, comfortable space of their own. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, personality, and comfort level to make their stay feel as safe and stress-free as possible.
“Amazing experience, extremely communicative and easy to work with could not have asked for a better sitter. My dogs were very happy upon pick up and my dogs love playing with her puppy.”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Johnston 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 Johnston.
<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 Johnston 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.
