“Autumn and her family took great care of our pups over the Independence holiday. We moved from out of state, so this was our dogs’ first time staying with a new family, after years of staying with the same family. Autumn paid attention to all the instructions about each of our dogs, especially our one who doesn’t like loud noises (fireworks). We would definitely use her again to watch our two Aussies.”
“Her and her family were amazing!! Leayn sent me a ton of photos and updates, and our dogs had a blast hanging out with her. She has a big fenced in yard, and the sweetest dog to help keep our pups entertained. She gave them baths the day we picked them up, and even made us puppy paw paintings for Valentine’s Day! Highly recommend her for well-rounded care!”
“Hannah was such a perfect fit for our girl Tif. Hannah was very caring and thorough and made sure we knew that Tif would be well-cared for. We feel very lucky to have met Hannah. Tif is also a ball of energy so it was great that Hannah has her own pets that Tif loved to play with. She was also great at sending plenty of pics!”
“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!”
“I very highly recommend going with Bill for your Rover needs. Incredibly easy to work with, provided an ideal amount of communication/updates on our pup. I have an energetic goldendoodle and he was returned to us very happy + worn out from his stay. I’ll reach out to Bill next time we need a Rover!”
“The first time I met Melissa, I knew our fox terrier, Hershey ♥️ would be in good hands. Melissa is kind, caring, responsible and sends daily pictures with updates. She has a beautiful fenced in yard. I highly recommend Melissa♥️”
About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 10 years and have been petsitting for even longer than that! I have experience working with some furry friends who need a little bit of assistance (bladder and bowel expression, wheelchairs, special feeding and medication administration) I love all species and understand the different temperaments and attitudes that come with each animal. My house is set up to accommodate the shyest of dogs to the most hyper energetic ones. We have a large fenced in yard to run around in, a comfy couch to snuggle up on, lots of toys to share and a special room in case they need space to decompress. I am certified in Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support so your animal will be cared for and taken care of in every aspect :) I am currently a stay at home mom with my two year old son who loves animals just as much as I do! We go for multiple walks a day or we’re playing outside in the backyard. If we leave the house it isn’t for more than 2 hours at a time. I am trained in animal handling and animal safety. Your pets safety and happiness are my main concerns. I am willing to work with whatever your pet is comfortable with and can even help with tips and tricks to make them feel a little more comfortable when their humans are away!
“Sarah was wonderful. Walter can be anxious and he seemed to do just fine, on short notice too! Sarah was communicative and flexible. I appreciated the short notice availability.”
“Selena was extremely communicative, flexible, and supportive during the coordination of our doxies’ stay. We received updates and photos of our two girls and felt comfortable and confident the whole stay. Thanks Selena!”
“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!”
About: I used to help out a family friend with her dog sitting business, and have experience with taking care of all types of dogs. From little to small, cats or dogs I am very adaptable to what each pet needs. I'm a caring person and I would go out of my way to make sure a dog is happy. I pride myself on being reliable and punctual while updating pet parents with photos and reports after every visit. I treat your pets and your home with the utmost care and respect. Growing up I have had a dog with three legs, so I have learned how to take care of dogs that may need extra care and I love to figure out how to make a pet feel comfortable and safe, as well as have fun. I have experience with training puppies, as well as taking care of older pets that may need medications. I’m happy to provide walks to play sessions, as well as watering plants or taking in mail to ensure your home is secure while you’re away. Im currently working close to full time, but I have flexible hours to fit the needs of when to stop by to take care of your pets. It’s healthcare so my schedule tends to change quite often and sometimes I end up with days off during the week. I can do morning or night visits, as well as day ones during the weekend. I do have a dog of my own so my ability to stay overnight can vary but I’m always willing to board a dog that is friendly. I can easily help with crating your dog if that is needed, I crate my dog that I have at home. I’m willing to go out of my way to make your dog comfortable with me and will take the time to ensure trust. I am willing to take your pet for a long walk or spend time with them to make them feel less lonely.
About: I have over 25 years experience taking care of all breeds of dogs, cats, lizards, fish and just about anything else you can think of. Whether you have a senior or special needs fur baby, one with a lot of extra energy or if you'd just like your fur-kid to have some extra attention while you're at work or away, I'm open to whatever their needs are and taking care of them. I am self employed so I make my own schedule. Therefore I'm available to work around daily walks, play times, feedings or whatever is needed. I am open to doing whatever you recommend when staying in your home. I find it's easier on them when very little changes while you're gone, so I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible.
About: Not just have I grown up around animals of all kinds but I have taken care of several friends and families pets to ensure their well being while the owners were away. I currently am not limited to hours to come to care of your furry babies! I’m willing to work around most people’s needs within almost any hours!. I prefer to be able to go to your house to provide any care you’re seeing fit. Such as visiting your pet/animals keeping them active with play time, keep them outside as much as possible for exercise/potty time. I can make sure they are fed/watered. Just providing that time they need to get through the time you’re away.
“Fernanda took wonderful care of both of our dogs in her home. They were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when I picked them up. She communicated consistently throughout their stay, which gave me great peace of mind, and she was extremely dependable from start to finish. I would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Tanya was very quick to respond to our request for a stay and made everything very easy to transact. She did a great job welcoming our dog into her home and sending us pictures throughout the day.”
“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!!”
“Karen was great! She communicates very well and provides updates without even asking. My dog sure had a great time staying there. I would recommend Karen to anyone who needs their dog looked after.”

Erin and her family were marvelous! She came through for me at the last minute the first time for a five day stretch with my 15 year old dog. This time it was three days and he was just as happy as the first. He was well loved, fed, walked , and catered to, as I spoil him, and so did she. I don’t go often but when I do, I will make sure to take my boy back to her!!!! Thank you.
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.
Caroline was awesome to work with! She took great care of our dog at her place for a 5-night trip. She was super responsive, which made it easy for us to set everything up, as well as while we were gone. She was very receptive to whatever we wanted for our dog and sent us updates and photos every day. She clearly loves dogs and ours had such a great time with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Port Royal on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 158 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 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.
100% of Port Royal 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 Port Royal 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 Port Royal 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 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 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.
