“Julia was a dream pet sitter. She was cool with a last minute booking and worked it out so Bailey could do a meet and greet beforehand. She took such great care with making Bailey comfortable and feel at home. It was so helpful to have peace of mind with who we were leaving our dog with.”
“Morgan was Awesome! We got plenty of updates that always included pictures, and she was very responsive in all of our daily communication. She treated our dog as if it was her own. She was very loving and compassionate and went above and beyond for our girl! We will 100% use her again!”
“Shelby is an excellent boarding hostess. She is patient and kind and she and her 2 dogs made Shadow feel right at home. She sent photos and is an excellent communicator. We will call Shelby again!”
“My fur babies were so well loved and cared for during their stay. I felt completely comfortable with them staying there and loved seeing photos of the family cuddling with my pups. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone looking for a great place for their pets to stay.”
“Elizabeth was so nice and sent me lots of pictures of Baxter, so I knew he was doing well! She was also very accommodating as far as pick up and drop off times! I will definitely use her again:)”
About: I work from home and have one adult dog - Bandit (70lbs). He is mellow, and readily give up toys and beds to newcomers, and has had great fun with new friends, here and at his sitter's house when I travel. Your dog will enjoy a large fenced yard with lots of room to run, dig, play fetch, chase squirrels, etc. With a morning walk in the neighborhood, then naps and playtime throughout the day, I will keep your high-energy dog entertained, and provide a calm and safe environment for resting. If your dog prefers to be in a kennel, I have one available (my dog does NOT like the kennel, at all, so I only offer it as a place for your dog to nest.) I will send tons of pictures (or just a few, if you prefer) while you are away, so you can be assured that your dog is happy and relaxed. I’m sorry, but we are not accepting Pitbulls/mixes at this time. I work from home and will be here to care your pet 100% of the time they are here, to ensure they are safe and relaxed. I start each day around 7am with a walk with Bandit, and your dog is welcome to join us for a good sniffing walk to kick things off. After we get back, Bandit eats his breakfast and usually relaxes inside, especially in the summer when he prefers the A/C. Midday, he may sun himself in the backyard for a bit, but most of the time he hangs out inside. While I’m working, the dogs settle around my desk, either watching out the window or napping, and they get treats throughout the day. When the weather is cooler, we spend time on the screened‑in porch enjoying the breeze and watching the birds and squirrels. Evenings are quiet and relaxed, and end with a nightly dental bone at bedtime, which is typically around 9pm.
“Jodie was absolutely fantastic with our girl!! Sent us pictures and updates throughout the weekend! When I got there to pick up our girl, Benelli, she greeted me at the door with happy cries and then went to Jodie to give her some love! Benelli was happy and I know she was well taken care of! I’m not sure we’ll use anyone else in the future! Very happy with the service she provided!”
“Jennifer was awesome with our dog Benjamin! She will treat your fur baby as though they were her own. She is great with communication and very accommodating! Will most definitely keep her mind in the future!”
“Kara was amazing! She took such good care of my little girl and sent regular updates throughout the weekend to keep my mind at ease. Highly recommend having her take care of your fur babies!!!”
“We are very pleased with our dog's stay with Sydney! We needed a sitter for our blind dog for 9 days while we went to a wedding out of state. I liked that our dog would be the only dog with Sydney (unlike other sitters I looked into) so that she would be comfortable while we were away. This was the first time our dog was with a sitter other than a family member and she seemed to do great. Sydney came to us for the first visit to meet us and our dog. Then, she invited us to her place so we could see where our dog would be staying. These visits helped put our anxiety at ease and our dog warmed up to Sydney very quickly. It was easy to see Sydney loves animals and we knew she would take great care of our fur baby. I would highly recommend Sydney to any pet owner! We have no complaints or concerns and look forward to using Sydney in the future. Thanks for loving on our girl like she was your own!”
“Their family was wonderful to our Scooby! We left him during Christmas and they treated him as one of their own. The kids wanted to adopt him and that’s the kind of love you want your puppy to get! We also got pictures or videos every day so we knew he was well taken care of.”

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 Lockhart 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 Lockhart.
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 Lockhart 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.
