“We just love sending our pups to Bootsie’s house. She and her husband are amazing caretakers and we know that our sweet ladies are in good hands when we go out of town!”
“Our two older boys came with us to Charleston for a family vacation. Our accommodations were not pet friendly but I wanted them to be nearby as they can be anxious when alone for extended periods. Anna and her husband were great and kept us updated on our boys all week. I could tell they felt right at home. She made sure they had what they needed and her home was great for my boys and similar to what they were used to at home. She sent me frequent updates and photos throughout the week. We appreciate her loving them like her own and will definitely use her services again if in the area with the pups! I recommend her for any family who wants their pups to be safe and happy while they are vacationing- I had peace of mind the whole time we were away!”
“Jennifer was great with King. She kept me updated everyday with how he was doing by sending videos and pictures. She was great to work with King did very well with her. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jennifer you are awesome!”
“Fran treated our pup like she was her own, we loved seeing happy pictures of Chloe while she was staying with Fran. We will definitely ask Fran to watch Chloe again!”
“This is my second time leaving Chloe and Rufus with Mrs Carol and I have found my forever fur-baby sitter if she is available… Mrs Carol is extremely attentive and loving. We were lucky to have found Mrs Carol and will continue to use her as long as she will have us. Forever grateful”
“Kobe loved every second of his stay here! Hill made sure Kobe was well accounted for and stayed within his daily routine to make him feel at home. When I usually arrive to pick Kobe up he is ready to get home asap but this time he wanted to go back to play some more so I will definitely be booking with Hill again.”
“Alyssa was amazing!! I was very happy with her great communication and how well she took care of our senior german shepherd pup ! She was super caring and attentive to make sure our dog had the best possible care. I recommend her highly and can’t wait to continue to use her for our future stays.”
“Devon took great care of my cat and I would happily use her again in the future. She let me know my cat was doing well during her stay which made me feel better leaving her with someone. Would highly recommend!”
“Tango loved hanging out with Carly and her family! Lots of pics sent to prove it and Tango was enjoying himself in all of them. He even played with other dogs which is a rarity for him.”
“Amanda and her family — two-legged and 4-legged — were great! Mozzi, an energetic miniature Bernedoodle, felt right at home from the first minute of our Meet-and-Greet. Amanda sent wonderful, reassuring photos and videos throughout his 6-day stay. He was clearly having so much fun I wondered if he’d have second thoughts about coming home with his stodgy old lady! Amanda will definitely be my first call the next time Mozzi needs a home away from home or a play date.”
“cassie was amazing as always! i know im leaving my girl in good hands with cassie. the daily pictures and videos are very much appreciated and cassie is so willing to work around my schedule for drop offs/pick ups!”
“Betts was welcomed into Chelsea's home and felt comfortable right from the start. She was taken care of like she was a member of the family. Chelsea sent us regular updates and we weee very pleased with how Betts was treated. We recommend Chelsea and would use her again.”

“This is the second time we’ve used Stephen and Jessica. We couldn’t be happier and would use them again tomorrow if needed. Cork always has a great time playing with their dogs. They take him on walks and he is always tired when we come pick him up. Even though Cork has some interesting behaviors, Stephen and Jessica have gone with the flow and have been very understanding.”
“Paula was THE BEST! So kind and reliable. She had the perfect yard and neighborhood for dogs! She sent us pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend and would definitely love for her to keep our dog again!”
“Truly a home away from home for our dog. Kathy, Gabe, and their dog Jasper made every aspect of our boarding experience fantastic. Knowledgeable and clear communication and the priceless peace of mind that our dog was being cared for as if she was their own. Book with confidence!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in North Charleston is €50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Charleston
Autumn is the best! She's incredibly pleasant and communicative. My dogs always come home happy and well loved. I can tell that they are treated with the upmost care and compassion. I have used quite a few sitters over the years and through moves and I can honestly say Autumn and her husband are the best! They were very flexible with my time as I had flights move around through my booking. I cannot recommend someone more! The girls love the treats too!
Bijayata was amazing! She kept me updated daily and sent adorable pictures multiple times throughout each day. Prue was clearly happy during her stay and had the best time. It eased my nerves knowing she was being well taken care of and was comfortable while I was away. I will definitely book Bijayata every time I’m out of town, no question.
This is the 2nd time Meg has boarded our puppy. We had a last minute change to our itinerary and she was willing and able to accommodate the extra day. My puppy absolutely loves hanging out with Meg and her puppy. They get along extremely well!!! I will absolutely choose Meg 1st for sitting our puppy. He is well taken care of with her and she follows all of our house rules with our puppy so he is not confused by the difference when he comes home. Meg is an excellent Sitter for our puppy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in North Charleston on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,120 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across North Charleston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of North Charleston sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which North Charleston landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Charleston 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 North Charleston.
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 North Charleston 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.
