“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”

“Pamela was great to my little Henry! This was Henry's first experience with a sitter and it was for 5 nights! My family and I were so nervous to see how Henry would adjust to a new environment. Pamela's home was very clean and welcoming. Her communication was great and her detailed daily updates and pictures really put us at ease and made us feel confident that he was adjusting well. Henry looked so relaxed and easy going in the pictures. I am so happy to have found Pamela and if we need a sitter in the future I would definitely book with her again!”
“Highly recommend Tracy with your four-legged family members. Tracy was very communicative, quick to respond and made me feel at ease. I appreciated the daily updates with photos and will definitely book with Tracy again!”

“Katherine was amazing and helped us in a pinch for a super last minute (day of) booking, we had a family emergency and had to travel out of state with no notice. Don’t know what we would’ve done without her!”


About: I have been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my family. I currently have a dog of my own and understand firsthand how important it is to know that your pup is safe, comfortable, and loved when you can’t be with them. I have experience boarding my own dogs, so I understand what helps dogs feel happy and at ease while they’re away from their families. I know that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. My experience includes providing daily care and attention, administering medications, bathing and basic grooming, and making sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay. When your dog stays with me, my goal is for them to feel like they’re staying with family, not just being boarded. I'll give them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping them safe and comfortable in my home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which means there is almost always someone here to give your dog attention and care throughout the day. Our days naturally include regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. I am able to keep a close eye on the dogs staying with me and give them the individual attention they need, rather than leaving them alone for long stretches of time. I understand that dogs thrive on routine, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and rest schedules while they are with me. I also make time for plenty of love and one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because pet care is part of my everyday life, I am excited to welcome dogs into my home and make caring for them a natural part of my routine. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they are staying with me. I want every dog who stays with me to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pups can enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks in a secure environment. Inside my home, I believe dogs should be able to relax in whatever way makes them most comfortable. My couches are welcome to dogs who enjoy lounging and being close to people, and I provide crates for dogs who are crate trained and feel most secure having their own familiar space. I also have a separate room available for dogs who need some quiet time or prefer to have a break from the activity of the household. I understand that some dogs love being in the middle of everything, while others need a little space to decompress, and I am happy to accommodate both. Most importantly, I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup wants to play in the yard, curl up on the couch, relax in their crate, or have some peaceful alone time, I will do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable throughout their stay.
“If I could give 10 Stars, I would!!! Megan is the best…period. She communicates very well, my dog adores her, she’s diligent about bringing him outside for exercise, and she’s been unbelievably flexible! I will use her again and again and again!!”

“We loved Christina so much. She was very communicative, prompt with responses and was just so nice. Our little guy was happy and healthy when he came home. We definitely will book again and highly recommend her services.”

“The first time I board my dog somewhere new, I am always a little uneasy, but as soon as I met Licia in her lovely and cheerful home I felt completely at ease about leaving my dearest little canine companion in her care. Licia sent several text updates with photos, and I could see that my dog was settling in very well and quite comfortable. I am so happy and grateful to have found Licia and Pete and will not hesitate to board with them again!”

“So happy to have found Lisa on Rover to take care of our boy while we were in from out of town for a Clemson football weekend! Great communication and lots of photos had our mind at ease the entire time. Highly recommend!”

About: Hey, I’m Zachary! I’m the guy who ends up hanging out with the dog at someone else’s house. I know leaving your dog with someone takes trust, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re getting plenty of attention and being well cared for. Tell me their routine, their favorite things, and any little habits I should know about—I’m happy to keep things how they’re used to. Whether they love long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel at home. And I’ll send pictures along the way, because I know you’re going to miss them. When I take a booking, I make sure I have time for the care and attention your dog needs. We’ll go over their usual schedule beforehand so meals, walks, and potty breaks stay as close to their normal routine as possible. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your dog with me, so I’ll ask about their habits, any special needs, and what helps them settle in. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and send photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing.

“Jeff was a great sitter! He responded quickly and was flexible on drop-off/pick-up. He took Leila to the dog park a few times during her stay, she came home exhausted! Would definitely book with Jeff again + recommend to a friend.”

About: Bringing happiness to all animals is something that is very important to me because of the love they constantly give us. With multiple years of experience, I am able to make sure your furry friends are well taken care of. Keeping your pets healthy and happy is the most important thing to me. I focus on providing all pets with someone who makes them feel safe and loved while their family is not with them. At the moment I am in between jobs after working for Clemson University for 4 years. I am currently searching for a part-time job I can pair with Rover to keep my schedule as open as possible. I’m very flexible with the care I provide. Every pet has their own routine and habits. I tend to follow any instructions given to take proper care of your pets. In my own home I have a roommate who love animals just as much as me so there will be plenty of pets! We have a dog park nearby I can utilize or a walking path if your pet is a little more introverted.
About: I graduated last year from Clemson University! I own two cats and one dog that I adore with all my heart! I love working with animals, as well as my job at Movement Mortgage! I am so excited to meet your fur babies :) I can work around any times you need. I am very flexible, especially in the afternoons. I can work with most everything that you would need. I am completely responsible for feeding my kitten and rabbits. I clean their spaces and messes. I am responsible for all of their shots and medications. I do not care for an animal that needs to be walked, but I am completely willing to walk. I often taken my cat and bunnies to parks.
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and have been dog-sitting for the past 4 years! I also have some experience with cat-sitting. I have a mini goldendoodle named Cody that I trained with my sister. I go to Clemson University, and we have a golden doodle living with us at our house!! We let her out every morning and I am home by 2pm every day to hang out with her! We have a fenced in yard. My dog sleeps in bed with me, which is fine if that’s how your dog sleeps best, but I will also be happy to crate your dog at my home or your home! I am very flexible and want to make sure I follow your regular routine as best as I can!
About: Hey there!! I've been around pets my whole life and absolutely LOVE them. We had a dog (dachshund) growing up as well as other animals like Rabbits and Guinea Pigs! I've had cats and dogs throughout my life as well. My bestie dog was named Sadie (corgi/husky mix) who was 17 when I had to let her go to the rainbow bridge March 2021...it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do 💔 I had her since she was about 1 yr old. She had a pacemaker put in about 2 yrs prior to passing and had a great life but I miss her like crazy. I've been Petsitting a long time but since Sadie passed, it's really helped heal my heart and has truly been a blessing. Most of my clients are from word of mouth over the years but I have this to help others get in touch with me if they need some help! I live in Lake Toxaway but I have jobs anywhere from Highlands, Cashiers, Sapphire, Lake Toxaway to Brevard. I mostly stay at my client's homes but I do bring some dogs to my house if it ends up being a better option. I also do drop-ins and daycare as well. I've done puppy care and senior care as too so that doesn't phase me. I also can do medication or treatments needed. If I'm booked up for in home pet care then I can do drop ins 2x a day for cats 🐱 I can possibly offer that for dogs too but they usually need it 3x a day. So that would all depend on my availability. I work part time caretaking properties/cleaning, and childcare so I'm mostly home! When I do need to leave I'm not gone more then 3-6 hrs, depending on the job. I can travel further if I can move jobs around in my area. I'm very flexible and try to make things work if I can! I currently don’t have a fenced in yard but I will walk around my neighborhood and have a decent sized backyard. I treat your babies like they're my own so they get lots of lovin. Sometimes we go to the State Park too! If they like car rides I'll take them to check my mail or little errands.

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 Mountain Rest home-away-from-home, 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 Mountain Rest.
<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 Mountain Rest 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 , 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 .
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.
