“We had an awesome experience with Debbie. Our first meet and great was so great and Debbie was so thorough with questions about our puppy Lacy making sure we were going to be a good fit at her home. By the time we left I felt so comfortable with setting up an overnight visit. We just had our first overnight and it went great. Debbie was so helpful with ideas and recommendations on how to help our over anxious little puppy. She was so patient with Lacy and very understanding with some of Lacys issues and is even willing to help us work through them. I am so grateful for her advice and we have scheduled another overnight for this weekend. I very impressed with how Debbie cares for the dogs in her care and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a loving home for their loved ones.”

“Merrell was a fantastic and very attentive dog sitter. We got regular updates and photos of our boy playing with her dog and running around! He came home and went straight to sleep. I know he got plenty of activity and I never worried once while he was gone. I highly recommend Merrell for your dog sitting needs.”

“Lexi’s was a FANTASTIC sitter with Mazzy. She offers a well organized and safe option for boarding your fur baby. She sent videos of my Mazzy playing with other dogs in her spacious backyard and training one on one and with other dogs. Opportunities that I can’t with just one dog. My energetic Aussie slept like a baby after I picked her up. I will definitely book her again if she will have us. Much appreciated the care, Lexie!”

“Oralee always takes such good care of my dogs. It’s a good feeling when you can go away and know that your dogs are being loved and playing with their doggy friends and that they are having so much fun. I love the pictures she sends daily. They help the kids not miss them so much. I highly recommend Oralee. I’m so grateful I found her.”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, receive plenty of attention, and be treated like part of the family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, especially when you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along. I also follow each owner’s instructions because I know every dog has their own routine and personality.

About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!

“I appreciate Nick so much! I needed a pretty last-minute booking while traveling down to Columbia to visit family, and he accepted Mateo within just an hour or two. He took such great care of him and sent me pictures throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. Even within the first 10 minutes, I texted to check on Mateo, and Nick reassured me that he was doing great and that he was enjoying his company. His communication was amazing, and he really took the extra steps to make sure Mateo was comfortable and well taken care of. As someone with a reactive dog, I’m VERY particular about who I trust to watch him, so I’m really glad I found Nick. Anytime I’m traveling to Columbia and need someone to watch Mateo, Nick will definitely be my first choice!”

“She was wonderful with Spike! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for while we were away. Her 3-year-old absolutely loved him, which was one of the sweetest parts of the whole experience. Spike was a little shy about eating at first, so she actually hand-fed him his breakfast until he felt comfortable enough to eat. That told me everything I needed to know about how loved and cared for he was while we were gone. Spike came home happy and clearly very comfortable with his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to keep him. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Sandy Run 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 Sandy Run.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sandy Run 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.
