“Connie was the most amazing dog sitter for our two corgi’s while we were out of town celebrating our wedding and honeymoon! Given the importance of our events and why we needed to engage a dog sitter, Connie truly lifted such a stress off of our plates! We knew our dogs were in great hands and enjoyed her updates throughout our trip! I would highly recommend Connie to all assessing her services! She is extremely sweet, kind and loving and treats your fur babies as though they were her own!”
“Fran took good care of my cat and provided timely status updates to me. I was initially nervous when she mentioned a dog in the house at the same time which was not communicated previously, but it all worked out. In the future I recommend letting the pet owner know if there will be additional pets especially since this can be a safety issue. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service.”
“A wonderful environment for my pup to enjoy! The family was so sweet and the house has an expansive yard to explore. I felt comfortable leaving my pup, knowing that he would be in good hands in a loving home. Thanks so much!!”
“Alyssa was so great! Sent regular updates with pics/videos and she was so patient with my dog who takes a little time to warm up. Gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away!”
“Kathy, her husband Gabe and pup Jasper were so great! Our pup Lou can be shy and they made him feel comfortable and loved. Kathy was super communicative and was wonderful to work with.”
“Sassy had a wonderful time staying with John and Faith while we were out of town. They were so loving and attentive and spoiled her rotten the way we do! I love that! They sent lots of pictures while we were away to keep us updated on how she was doing. I highly recommend and I will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Darby and I have had the extreme good fortune of having met and worked with the Mary Poppins of pets. Sharon could not have been more accommodating, agreeable or loving. She was only too happy to meet with us in advance of Darby's stay and, when I requested an additional day, Sharon could not have been more hospitable. She truly is the Dog Whisperer--I could tell from the photos and descriptions she forwarded to me that my sweet girl was in heaven. I was actually able to enjoy my family vacation knowing that Darby was not only well cared for, but LOVED. Sharon's family was gracious and accepting of Darby. Not sure Darby was ready to come back home when I went to collect her. I feel beyond fortunate to have crossed paths with the Amazing Sharon M. We will definitely be back! Love, -Christie and Darby-”
“You can tell Kathryn loves dogs and has experience! She is so kind, responsive and flexible. I have a nervous dog but felt super comfortable leaving her with Kathryn and her family. Great back yard for the pups to play and lots of toys! Will definitely keep her in mind for the next time. Thank you, Kathryn!”
“Andrew and Frank took excellent care of my sweet girl. I received daily updates and photos and had wonderful communication about her during her entire stay. Its difficult to leave your fur baby with just anyone and we were made to feel comfortable from our first meet and greet onward. I will definitely use them again. My sweet Frankie loved her new friends and so did I. 💗”
“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!”
“Nadra cared for our 3 dogs for a week and kept us updated with photos. She has a secure well fenced yard. When we picked them up they were happy and healthy. I will definitely book her again if she is available. David L.”
“Summer is a great host! We boarded our 8 month old puppy and she provided us with several photo updates and always responded quickly. When we came to pick him up, he didn’t want to leave. We will definitely board with Summer again and highly recommend her!”
“Thank you Abigail and family for watching our goldendoodle during the holidays! It was a great fit and she returned home happy and healthy and we appreciated the schedule flexibility and daily updates. Thanks!”
“Carla was an amazing dog sitter for our 11 year old Goldendoodle Henry. She sent pictures and text updates frequently, created a care plan, and even gave him a bath. I felt confident the entire time that he was in the best hands. I will certainly be looking for Henry to stay with Carla next time we are out of town! If you are looking for a caring person to watch your dog, I highly recommend her. ❤️”
“Chloe was a wonderful sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Kona, on short notice after my original pet sitter canceled, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent plenty of updates, photos, and videos throughout Kona’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even took Kona and her own dog to the county park one morning! I would definitely recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter :)”
“Sarah took great care of our dog. He seemed genuinely happy, relaxed, well rested and well fed when we picked him up. This was our first time using Rover and it was hands down the best decision we made for our dog while we were out of town. Sarah provided lots of pictures and updates. We’re very happy to have found Sarah and highly recommend her.”
“Sasha was great! Excellent communication both before and throughout our dog’s stay. You could tell she spent a lot of time with our dog and he was very comfortable with her. He almost seemed a little sad to come home.😜 We will definitely book Sasha again for any future dog sitting needs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kiawah Island on Rover is $42.8 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 1,100 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kiawah Island. 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 Kiawah Island 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 Kiawah Island 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 Kiawah Island 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 Kiawah 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 Kiawah 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 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.
