“She's so good with dogs and looked like she really loved what she's doing. I felt so good and calm leaving my dog with someone I trust like Elaine. She is so warm and welcoming. We get pictures and update everyday. My dog had a great stay with her. Would surely use her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience! She took excellent care of our two dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay with regular messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. It was clear they were well loved and cared for. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Jessica took care of our dog for several days while we traveled. She was caring, she was honest, she kept us updated every day! We really felt that our Dog was loved and taken care of in the best way! We will call her again without any hesitation.”
“Stella was happy and had a great time staying with Audrey and Joshua. They took great care of her and I appreciated all the updates and pictures during her stay! We will definitely have them watch Stella 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!”
“Shelley was great! Tucker was a happy dog when we picked him up. She is a great communicator, sent plenty of pictures, took great care of of Tucker. We will definitely be back! Thanks again!”
“Christopher is awesome my Bailey was excited when we got there he is well taken care of and happy! I also love the pictures! Thank you Christopher and will be booking again soon😊”
“Yevheniia and her family are AMAZING! I don’t need a sitter too often but when I do I have found my go to person! The love and attention given to Bruce was so wonderful and comforting. I could tell Bruce felt loved and safe.”
“I can't say enough positive things about my and my pup's experience with Brad. 1. Booking/Communication - From the initial booking, Brad was communicative and responsive ensuring that I would feel comfortable even before I dropped my pup off. 2. Drop off - At drop-off, Brad was extremely attentive to understand the unique needs of my pup especially as it pertained to his medication. In my moving around, I forgot to bring something my pup needed. Brad was extremely helpful in getting it resolved so that my pup's stay would be just fine. Additionally, Brad went out of his way to ask how, and what frequency, I wanted to be updated on my pup's stay. 3. Stay - My pup had a fantastic time staying with Brad and having pup siblings at Brad's house. I'm confident of this not only because, true to his word, Brad was not only communicative about what was going on each day (for the entire ~3wk stay), but he also sent pictures and videos with funny notes! I could see that my dog was active not only outside but inside the home, was playing well with the other dogs, and was being loved and snuggled daily. 4. Pick-up - The day of pick-up, my flight was delayed impacting my ability to pick-up my pup on time. Brad was completely understanding and was communicative to ensure that I had no worries. When I arrived to pick up my pup, all of the things I sent with my pup came home in great condition AND Brad sent me home with a treat that he had graciously been giving my pup as well! I could tell my pup was excited to go home but was sad to leave Brad and his new friends! Overall, we will DEFINITELY use Brad again and recommend him to anyone that is looking for someone to treat their pup like family when they have to go away. Thanks again, Brad!”
“Janet provided wonderful care of my senior dog, a nearly fifteen-year-old chiweenie, sending regular photos and updates and accommodating his somewhat odd diet. Highly recommend!”
“Haley was absolutely amazing! She sent photos and videos multiple times a day which made our time away so much easier. Blue had the best time with her dogs as well. He came back tired from all the play - and with a special bone, thanks to Haley!”
“Words alone could not describe amazing Florence was! I couldn’t have picked a better person to watch over my fur baby. She loved and spoiled him rotten as if he was her own. She kept me updated the whole time with pictures and videos. Most definitely will be rebooking with her in the future.”
“April and Chris were amazing and mora loved her stay! They sent tons of pictures and videos and made us feel like we could enjoy our vacation without any worries. Would 100% recommend and will use again the future!”
“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.”
“Kaylee watched our 5 month old kitten and he loved it! She did a great job and we were incredibly comfortable with him there. She sent photos and videos which were helpful to know he was doing well. Definitely will book again :)”
“Highly recommend Nikhil! I received multiple updates & photos of my pup through the day. Nikhil took great care of Leo and Leo seemed very happy at their place.”
“Even our shy and anxious dog was no match for Jessica's charm! Between frequent walks and engaging playtimes, this sitter brought out the best in our pup, to the point where when we took him home, he was sad for a few days 'cause he wanted to go back. Their own dog is also very well behaved and friendly, and was gentle with ours while he opened up to new places with new faces. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a wholesome, entertaining environment for their dog to stay.”
“Great Rover with amazing fenced in backyard. Treated my girl like she was at home and even put rug runners out so she could easily navigate at the hardwood floors. Ellie was extremely happy! Will be booking again!”
“Best peace of mind I could have asked for as an anxious dog mom lol. From the beginning of booking, to the arrival, actual stay, and pickup, Maria was so amazing! She’s so nice, informative, laid back, and I can tell she really cares for animals. I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future! Again, Maria thank you so much!”
“Leaving Apollo with Shalyn was one of the best things I’ve done! She was always very proactive communicative and Apollo seem to have a fantastic time:) Definitely looking to book for other times i need to leave my furbaby behind. I know he will always be well looked after at her home! 🙏🏼❤️”

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 Newport 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 Newport.
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 Newport 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.
