“I had a weekend trip planned and my plans for my two dogs fell through. I really am not a fan of traditional boarding and nor are my dogs. I decided to give this app a try since I have heard positive things. I came across Raquel’s profile and so happy that I did. She quickly responded to me and was very flexible and accommodating. She sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay and I swear one of my dogs looked like she was smiling in the picture lol! They were both so happy and comfortable. I could tell they felt safe and were enjoying themselves. And I could tell that Raquel has a genuine love for what she does. As a dog parent, I want my dogs to be in a safe and fun loving environment and that’s what she provided.”

About: I have had a dog (childhood puppy at home) my whole life and she is my best friend! I have fostered multiple puppies, some who aren’t potty trained, and have experience overnight sitting. My roommates also love to have pets around! I am a full time graduate student with a part time job, but will be home a lot and love to get exercise walking. I also have 5 other roommates who would be happy to help out if I am busy with class. I have a front patio for quality outside time, but it is not fenced. I will be outside with your pet whenever we hang out on the patio, otherwise we will be inside.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!

About: I have grown up and taken care of dogs all my life! I have always lived with multiple dogs, and have even rescued 2! I love big and small dogs, I have experience with training, walking big dogs (pitbulls, labs, etc.), administering insulin, and dealing with dogs with epilepsy! One of my pups had diabetes, dementia, epilepsy, and anxiety, so I am well prepared for anything of that nature! I often pet sit for neighbors and friends for dogs of all different breeds! I’ve taken care of puppies, to toddlers, to senior dogs! I’m currently a student at USC, and take all my classes in the morning, so I basically have a free schedule after 1pm almost every day of the week! Weekends are more convenient for boarding, but I would still be able to make boarding during the week work as well! I also have gaps in my schedule, so during the week I am able to stop by throughout the morning to take care of your pups! I currently live in an apartment complex, so I do not have a yard for any pups, but I am able to take them outside on walks! We are allowed to have animals here so if need be I could have a dog stay with me, however I do not have any proper supplies for them in my apartment, and would need to be provided with such.

About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner, and I share my home with my husband, our three kids, and our 11-year-old Golden Retriever, Karma. She’s truly part of our family, and caring for her over the years has made me even more patient, attentive, and nurturing—qualities I bring into how I care for every dog. I’ve always had dogs growing up, and they’ve never been “just pets” to me—they’re family. I treat every dog with that same level of love, respect, and attention, and I would care for your dog just as I do my own. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve helped neighbors by watching their dogs during vacations and stopping in for visits when they have long workdays. I’m comfortable with daily routines, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I love walking dogs regularly and believe it’s important for both their physical and mental well-being. Whether your dog enjoys long walks or prefers time in a fenced yard, I’m happy to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I’m currently a certified teacher between positions, which gives me extra flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry family members—something I truly enjoy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon! I’m a certified teacher between positions, which gives me extra flexibility and I'm currently available full-time to dedicate to your furry family members. I have a fenced-in yard at my home where dogs can safely play and relax, and I also enjoy taking walks around my neighborhood for extra exercise and enrichment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their usual routine—whether that means going for walks or letting them out in a fenced yard. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and cared for in the way they’re used to.

Chloe was absolutely wonderful with my black lab Brewer! She took such great care of him while I was away for a couple of nights, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was super communicative, sent me pictures and updates. She has a very kind and genuine personality, and Brewer looked so happy and comfortable with her.

We had a great experience with this couple taking care of our Aussiedoodle for several nights! We appreciated their flexibility and they gave him lots of attention, playtime, walks and one on one care to meet his energetic needs. We loved the frequent photo and video updates, and you could tell they genuinely cared about him. Highly recommend!

Patricia is an excellent care taker! Buster was so happy being with her. She gave lots of great updates and little videos. The pictures she sent showed us that he was as comfortable at her house as he is at home. Buster is a little more needy with his care because he is a senior dog now. Patricia had no problem feeding him by hand to help him. I highly recommend using Patricia for your boarding needs.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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. 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.
