“This is the first time I’ve left my dog Lucy with anyone since adopting her and Celeste and Joe took such great care of her. They sent me updates showing how comfortable she was in their home. Highly recommend them and happily will let Lucy stay with them anytime I need to go out of town without her.”
“This was our boy’s second stay with Donna. We will definitely continue to be a repeat customer. Donna treats our boy as if he is her own. Between golf cart rides, beach walks, trips to the park, etc., she keeps him too busy to be missing home. She sends tons of videos and pictures and my boy always looks like he’s having the best time ever. We love Donna!”
“Janet was absolutely wonderful to my elder Chihuahua Pork Chop and my new addition to the family Nacho. She took Wonderful care of them and kept me updated with photos. She has been my pet sitter since 2018.”
“Casey’s stay with Maria was wonderful. He probably had a more fun at her house than his own home because there were always dogs for him to play with. Maria stayed in touch with photos and little updates. Great experience for him and me.”
“My dog was literally treated like he was a king! The time & care was noted by the pics and messages that were sent to keep me updated. My dog was living his best life! Definitely a 10 out of 10! Will book again!”
“Sandi was great. Our dog Millie had a great stay and we got lots off god updates throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend anyone needing help with dog sitting while in the Myrtle beach area!”
“Lisa was amazing with our Teddy. He loved her right away and we did love her too. Our Teddy is a senior dog and needed a loving and caring person to take care of him while we were away. She was very professional and flexible with pick up and drop off. We definitely recommend her as the perfect dog sitter! We’ll call her again soon!”

“Katelyn helped me a TON when I was in a last minute bind and took both of my doggos for almost 5 days. She communicated quickly and sent photos daily which was much appreciated. Drop off / pick up was super simple as well.”
“I had to leave a review for Elvera. She was very professional and I can tell my Champ really enjoyed his time with her and her kids. I was gone for 10 days and as soon as I met her and her daughter I knew my dog was in safe hands. I did not get a chance to meet her son but I am sure Champ was all over him. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“The absolute best! From the moment we met her, I felt completely comfortable leaving Billie in her care. She is incredibly personable, caring, and attentive. Billie came home happy, exhausted from all the fun, and clearly showered with love and attention. She also had a great time playing with her adorable pup! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and can’t wait to book again. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was wonderful!!! We got pictures each day and every one of them showed our Stella looking happy and feeling at home. It’s a strange feeling to leave your dog with someone you’ve never met but Laura put us at ease and made our trip to the area perfect. We would highly recommend her!”
“Abigail did an amazing job caring for our senior dog. She was patient, attentive, and truly thoughtful with his needs. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“If you’re considering hiring Brianna for pet care, just go for it :)! She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible, and a very fast communicator. Our Lily had a blast with her dog Kita :)! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to go home with us lol. Brianna gave us extra peace of mind with all of the pictures and updates she sent. Plus, knowing she had vet tech xp made us feel safe leaving Lily behind after her recent surgery. She was returned to us super happy, healthy, and exhausted :). We hope Brianna ywill be able to watch her again next time! (THANK YOU AGAIN!!)”

I am a stay at home dad and would love to have some new dog friends around to hang out with and get myself and my kids outside a bit during the day! I have a fenced backyard and my neighborhood is nestled far back from any main streets. We have a nice quiet street across for a small pond.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Live Oak is $20 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $23 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.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Live Oak 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 Live Oak 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 Live Oak.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Live Oak. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Live Oak 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
