“Our fur babies came home happy and healthy after their 2 week stay with Joy and her family. We received pictures daily which is very comforting when away from them. We would definitely use them again!”
“This was Cheatnut’s first time away from home and Kashawna made this experience amazing for him.. She took excellent care of him and gave updates and pics of how he was doing.. Very nice family and also very knowledgeable.. Thanks again and I will definitely use her in the future”
“Caring and attentive, she knows the right questions to ask and will give the upmost care to your dog. She gave updates and communicates clearly. Your dog will be happy and smiling as well, thank you!!”
“Your family always spoils my baby doggie to pieces and takes such great care of her. Always great to know that there’s a family like yours that we can depend on to love on our doggie when we have to go out of town. Thank you so much again! Cristina is the best doggie sitter EVER!!”
“I'm afraid to say how wonderful Jen and her family are with our dog so we can keep booking with her! Our dog Holly is on vacation when she stays there and is treated like a queen 👑. Can't say enough great things about booking with Jen.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets—especially cats and dogs—since I was a teenager, and animals have always held a special place in my heart. In fact, I somehow figured out how to win over the neighborhood dogs when I was younger, and before long, they were stopping by my house every day to visit! My core values are simple: loving your pets unconditionally, loving their people, and building relationships based on honesty and trust—with pets and humans alike. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I treat that responsibility with the same care and attention I would want for my own animals. I work from home and take several breaks during the day to do walkies or give cuddles and pets. I'll adjust to your pet's needs and your requests. I have a partially fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy some supervised outdoor time, but I prefer taking my furry guests on walks for exercise, fresh air, and a chance to explore the neighborhood. Whether your pets need overnight companionship or just a little care and attention during the day, I can stay in your home or make scheduled visits based on what works best for you and your pets.
“Stephanie was great! She was really good about communicating with me and responded quickly. When I had a timing mix-up she was flexible and worked around my schedule. I had never left my kitten at another house before, so she allowed me to do a little day care for free before the actual dates I was gone to allow him to get used to the environment which was so nice. She also had two very sweet but super active dogs and a friendly cat. My kitty is pretty chill and adjusted well but I could see all of the other animals (especially the dogs) potentially being a lot for a skiddish/anxious animal to handle. At the end of the day I got Kuzco back a very happy cat and I would definitely trust her to watch him again :) Thank you!!”
“Julie is amazing! Very compassionate with my senior dog. I think Piper would move in with her if it was an option. Loved the communication and pictures throughout the stay. Will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“As always, Lauren and Jonathan did an amazing job taking care of our Chuck Norris. He tends to be hesitant with any males and completely loves Jonathan. We know he is in great hands when we leave him with Lauren and Jonathan. They are our go to sitters”
“Andrea was awesome, she kept our Yorkie (Thumper) for 8 days while we took a vacation. She showed him love, she's so sweet, she took great care of him. We highly recommend her, She kept us updated on how he was doing, she sent us videos and pictures.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of cats and dogs since I was a young kid! I am also currently a veterinary technician and I’m in nursing school I currently work part time and I’m part time in school to be a RN. Pet care works best for me for morning and evening drop ins to ensure pets are doing well, feeding and get some socialization if they would like it. If a pet needs to be boarded in home, I have a very friendly and easy going pittie who gets along with most dogs and 6 cats with a small fenced in yard. If a pet is boarded in home I prefer they start crates while I’m not there at work or school but I do make a mid day run home to eat lunch and let my dog and other dog outside to potty
“All I can say is WOW. We were so at ease throughout our entire trip abroad because we knew our boy was in such good hands. Carrington treated Remy as he was her own and sent us so many wonderful updates. We cannot thank you enough!! We will definitely be using Carrington for all future boarding needs!”
“We had a great experience with Ed and will definitely use him again! He was wonderful with our dog and sent tons of updates throughout the day, including pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent, and it was clear she got plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime. She looked so happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Matthew and Heidi took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were away for 10 days at Thanksgiving. We really appreciated the photos and updates about how our dogs were doing and how they interacted with their family members and the other dogs at the house.”

I’m very particular about who I trust with my Havanese, and Joy was wonderful! She was also great with communication, and drop-off and pickup were both incredibly easy and seamless. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her and would absolutely recommend Joy!

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.
94% of sitters in Pauline 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 Pauline 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 Pauline.
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 Pauline. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Pauline 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.
