“As a first time dog mom leaving her puppy for the first time Autumn made me feel completely at ease! She kept in contact several times leading up to Bentley’s stay and kept us informed of him the whole time we were gone by text messages and sending us pictures. Bentley came home happy and exhausted from having so much fun! We will definitely use Autumn again in the future!”
“Leayn and her wonderful, warm family offer exactly what we all dream of: a safe, loving, and attentive home away from home for our four-legged family members. I was extremely nervous about leaving my attention-hungry cat Lucy for two whole weeks, but the moment I connected with Leyan, all my worries disappeared. She's professional, prompt, and a true animal lover. I received pictures and updates on Lucy daily, so I never had to worry for a moment about how or what she was doing. And when I picked my kitty up and Leyan told me that she and her family are going to miss Lucy, I completely believe her. From now on, whenever we go out of town, I am leaving Lucy with Leayn, no doubt about it! I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Awesome sitter! Sent pictures without needing to request them and I loved the constant updates, great communicater☺️ The dogs came back very happy❤️ Definitely a dog sitter that I will be using again!”
“Sarah was very accommodating to my last minute care need. My girl is very anxious around other people but she was comfortable around Sarah from the first meeting. My girl enjoyed her day and I would definitely recommend Sarah to care for your fury babies!”
“Greer was an amazing and accommodating sitter. This was my first time leaving my pup overnight on Rover. She gave me great updates and pictures. My dog was so comfortable and happy in her home. The love she showed Dulce gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely book again and recommend her to everyone!”
“Breyer had a great time staying with Olivia and playing with Zeus. He was one happy and tired pup when we got him back. She sent us pics and videos during his stay with her. We have already booked another stay for him with her. Definitely recommend Olivia.”
“Beth was such a great hostess to Layla! She took great care of her and kept me updated with photos and videos. Layla loved playing with her dog Shamrock and running around her back yard.”
“5 Stars!! It was the first time leaving my pug and terrier puppies with anyone. It was also my first time booking with Karen. My nerves melted away and l felt completely at ease after the meet and greet. Karen is a natural with dogs. Liam and Doug had a blast while we were gone! Karen sent tons of daily photos and updates. I highly recommend Karen and her husband Ray.”
“Luna was so happy during her stay. I could tell by her demeanor when I picked her up that she was comfortable. I will definitely trust Luna with them again without a doubt.”
“Thank you Destiny for always taking such good care of Beaumont. Destiny, Gili and Beaumont always have a 5 star time together. I feel so reassured knowing I can trust to leave Beau Beau with them while I’m gone on work trips/travelling. Highly recommend Destiny!!”
“We fee so lucky to have found Shana on Rover. She took such great care of Dora, our senior dog. Dora has some cognitive dysfunction and has special needs, so we were very nervous about finding someone to watch her. Shortly after meeting Shana, we knew Dora would be in good hands. I can’t imagine anyone caring for her as well as Shana did. We highly recommend Shana and would definitely use her services again without hesitation.”
“Frank was great! This was the first time we had our dog boarded and he was still relatively new to us from the pound so we were not 100% sure how he would do, but Frank took excellent care of him and our dog came back happy and tired! Frank made a point to text us with a little update every day and was sure to be on top of minor incidents that occurred so we were always up to date. We had a pretty strict regimen for our dog plus some medication that needed to be given and everything was done how we always do it! We will definitely be using Frank again!”
“Goose had a wonderful time with Gina! I was afraid he might never want to come home. She communicated very well with me before and during his stay. I received pictures and videos daily showing Goose living his best life in her care. I would highly recommend.”
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. From the pups I grew up with to my soul dog Lacey, who has inspired this Rover journey. They are the purest creatures on this earth and taking the time to connect with each and every one that comes way, brings me so much happiness 🐾🤍 Life can be unpredictable so I’m here to make things a little easier! Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend trip or a daily walk, I’ve got you (and your best friend) covered ✔️ I am a proud & protective dog mama myself — when your pup is with me, you can trust they will be cared for as my own. I know just how important it is to feel confident when leaving a member of the family in someone else’s hands and I take that responsibility to heart 🫶🏼
About: You can count on me rain, shine, or last minute changes. I’m careful, consistent, and follow every routine exactly how you like it. Your home and pet are cared for with total respect and safety. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I get off work at 1 PM, which gives me the whole afternoon and evening free for visits, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pet. I also have a 2 year old, so I’m used to structure, patience, and routines skills that translate perfectly into caring for animals. My schedule is steady and predictable, which means I can reliably show up at the same times every day. After 1 PM, my time is wide open for giving your fur baby the attention, love, and care they deserve. I follow your pet’s routine, give them one on one attention, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved whether that’s in your home, or referring to mine specifically !

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Royal
David was fantastic with our senior dog,Cole. Cole requires medication with each meal, special snacks at bedtime and lots of potty breaks. Cole was so happy when I returned! I received multiple photos of Cole while he was with David. It was great knowing our dog was in wonderful care while we were away. I will definitely contact David again for future sleepovers!
It was a delight for Gracie and for me and my husband to meet Autumn. She is 5 star all the way! We enjoyed the event we were attending without worry for how our girl was faring. Autumn sent tons of photos, so it was very obvious that Gracie was enjoying her time with Autumn‘s children and pets. I can’t say enough nice things about her and her family. I highly recommend using autumn if you are in the Beaufort area!
Bill was wonderful. I have never left Daisy with anyone except my Dad, and was worried about how she would do. Bill sent reports and pictures daily and Daisy seemed very comfortable and content. I was happy that he did walks and doggie park. She had some issues with accidents and he was great at problem solving. I would recommend him to anyone. It was clear from the very beginning that she liked him....and didn't even look back at me as he led her inside. Definitely check his availability.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Port Royal is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 161 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Port Royal. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Port Royal 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 Port Royal 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 Port Royal.
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 Port Royal 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.
