“Cyrus is great! He is very gentle and patient with my fur baby (Payton). She enjoys the time that she spends with Cyrus. He truly makes her comfortable. I have no worries when I leave her. I highly recommend Cyrus to anyone who is looking for a loving home away from home for their baby.”
“No words can express how grateful we are to Kally! How can I start, my baby was never before far from us, we spoiled him way to much, is our only furry baby, and never before he has been around nobody else than us, so imagine how worries we were, we leave him feeling so sad and guilty but Thanks to Kally we actually manage to enjoy our vacations, with constantly communications and pictures of my babies, and for our surprise he seems very happy with her LOL. Since now on, she becomes officially our baby’s pets sitter! Thanks so much for everything Kally! May the lord bless you! I give you 5 starts because is no more starts available Lol”
“Amazing doesn’t begin the describe Ashley! This is the first time I boarded Yoshi away from home. Yoshi can get anxious so I was concerned how everything would go but Ashley was perfect! She sent me so many posts and pictures that I knew that Yoshi wasn’t just being taken care of but he was loved. She took him everywhere and he was clearly part of her family when he stayed with her. I would definitely use Ashely again when in Myrtle beach. I just wish I could give her more than 5 stars🐾♥️🐾♥️”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for the past 10 years, and caring for them has always been more than just a hobby — it’s my passion! I have extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, snakes, reptiles, and even insects and other exotic pets. In addition to caring for my own animals, I’ve spent several years volunteering with various animal shelters, giving me valuable experience working with animals of all personalities, temperaments, ages, and needs. My goal is to turn my passion for animal care into a full-time career, and I’m incredibly lucky to have a husband who supports me every step of the way! A little about my home life: I currently have a sweet, friendly black Labrador named Mable who is about 8 months old. She’s full of personality, loves to play, and is always excited to make new friends! Whether your pet needs a safe and loving place to stay, a fun walk, or simply some extra attention while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.💙 Now accepting last-minute holiday bookings!

My goal is to make myself a reliable, flexible, and trustworthy option whenever you need an extra set of hands. Your schedule doesn’t have to be 9-to-5 to receive 5-star pet care! 🖤 🖤 Safety, Trust & A Loving Environment Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my number-one priority. I understand that trusting someone with a member of your family is a big deal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly!

“If you’re considering hiring Brianna for pet care, just go for it :)! She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible, and a very fast communicator. Our Lily had a blast with her dog Kita :)! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to go home with us lol. Brianna gave us extra peace of mind with all of the pictures and updates she sent. Plus, knowing she had vet tech xp made us feel safe leaving Lily behind after her recent surgery. She was returned to us super happy, healthy, and exhausted :). We hope Brianna ywill be able to watch her again next time! (THANK YOU AGAIN!!)”

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.
95% of sitters in Rains 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 Rains 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 Rains.
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 Rains. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 Rains 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.
