“Veronica was a wonderful host for our golden retriever. She gave updates through the time she was with them. Took great care of her. Already booked another stay. Thanks!”
“Kelly did an outstanding job taking care of Emma during my trip. It was my dog’s first time away from home and Kelly’s care and great communication made her stay a positive experience for both of us. I definitely recommend her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Chelsea and Fernando! They were incredibly caring, reliable, and conscientious about keeping our dog on her normal routine. They paid close attention to her feeding schedule, walks, and daily habits, helping her feel comfortable and at home while we were away. Communication was also excellent. We received regular updates and photos, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or messages. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our dog and wanted to make sure she was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again!”
“Rebecca and her husband were great. Keep us posted on how our Frenchie was doing since it was his first time staying with someone other than us. He didn't want to eat but they figured it out. He enjoyed his play time with their dogs as well. Definitely will book with them again.”
“Karson is great. He took a nice care of my dog for couple of days. He was so flexible for the pick up and drop off times. He sent me multiple pictures of my dog during the time she was with him that was so nice of him.”
About: I love animals and have grown up raising, training, and taking care of their overall well being. I raised and trained a pitbull pup (Nova) until she was 5 years old, with experience from taking care of cats and dogs at the time, and I now live with 2 cats and 2 dogs! I've had the cats since they were 3 months old and are now 1 year old! Both dogs are still young and both are socialized so they know and understand boundaries and are pet friendly. If you have any questions you are free to reach out anytime! I work full time, 7a-3p. I like to give boarding dogs their own room while I'm away, and I have camera's set up in there in case of an emergency. When I'm boarding I like to take them out for a few hours before I leave, bring them inside, play and/or work on any training with them and make sure they have everything they need. When I come home first thing I do is let them outside. I have tie outs so I'll watch to make sure they don't get tangled, play with them, or just keep them company if they just wanna sit. While I'm home I do allow pets on the couch, I'll have the tv on, and hang out with them or play with them, depends on the pet. My availability on Rover may not always be correct, I may be boarding other pets or house sitting. I will always let you know what's going on and see if we can make an arrangement. Feeding, giving water, cleaning litter, giving medicine, playing with them, letting them outside and/or walking them. Some things like giving medicine will need to be specified and especially if you have certain feeding habits I should be aware of just let me know. I will also send you photo updates on how they're doing!
About: Hi! My name is Merry Lu, and my husband and I are big dog lovers! We have two dogs of our own and absolutely love giving them a happy, loving home. We enjoy dog sitting because it gives us the chance to meet and spend time with different dogs while letting our own pups make some new furry friends along the way! We understand that your dogs are part of your family, and we’ll treat them just like they’re part of ours. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. A little about our furry family: 🐾 Rowena – Our sweet 6-year-old Lab mix 🐾 Hunter – Our lovable 15-year-old Westie We can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! ❤️ I’m a full-time cardiac sonographer, so I work five days a week, about 8 hours a day. My husband and I have two dogs of our own, and we understand how important it is for dogs to get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Since our dogs are home while we’re at work, we make it a priority to take them on walks and spend quality time with them when we’re home. We thought dog sitting would be a wonderful way for our dogs to make new furry friends while giving other dogs a loving home away from home! We want every dog who stays with us to feel comfortable, included, and cared for. Our goal is to make their time here feel less like being away from home and more like a fun little vacation with new friends! 🐾 We have a nice-sized, fully fenced backyard where the dogs can safely run around, play, and enjoy some fresh air! We also have two dog crates available for pups who are crate-trained, along with several cozy dog beds so everyone has a comfortable place to relax and nap.
“Amanda took great care of our dog and cat while we were away! Our dog has some anxiety when we leave but Amanda and her family made him feel comfortable very quickly. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jennifer is amazing! We have used her services a few times, she takes great care of our Cali and Tucker (Lab and Goldendoodle full size ) her accommodations are perfect for any size dog. Our most recent time using her services we had a last minute trip and she was so helpful to even pick up our pups from our home while our neighbor was helping as well! I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. My 2 dogs are off leash trained and love other dogs. I walk and board my friends and family dogs. Anything that your dog wants while they’re with me is fair game. I’ll provide an atmosphere and experience that your dog will wish they could tell you about!!! All ages of dogs welcome I’m currently a full time student but I only go to campus on Tuesday and Thursday for a few hours. I have 2 dogs and never leave them for more than a couple hours so I’ll always be reliable to watch your dog. I have a fenced in yard that is big enough for your pet to sprint around if that’s their thing, or if they are more of a couch potato that loves the sun. I own all sorts of crate sizes for your furry friend. I crate my dogs when I leave so if your dog doesn’t get crated then they will be able to enjoy the house without worrying about any issues from my sweet boys. My Dalmatian loves to sprint and play aka let other dogs beat him up while he wags his tail. My pitbull loves to lay on his bed and in the yard so there’s a dynamic for every dog here.
“Not only was Mason awesome with Max he was a lifesaver! He was very flexible with our last minute request and made us and Max feel very much at ease. I am so glad we met Mason and will definitely like to use Him in the future. Max was very comfortable with him, therefore made our trip that much better.”
“Lindsay is amazing!! She took very good care of my fur baby while I was on vacation for 2 weeks. He has separation anxiety and I was worried, but he did great with her. She updated me with text and pictures the entire time. I highly recommended.”
About: Avid pet lover looking for fur babies to care for! All pets considered, senior, puppy, kitten, and everything in between. We have raised lots of animals in our home and would love to help with yours. We are a foster home for a few different rescues as well as Greenville county so have experience with many different personalities, temperaments, and quirks as well as administering medications, eye drops, etc. We have fostered bottle fed kittens, nursing mommas, and pregnant pups. I am a stay at home mom looking to pet sit, drop in, or walk whenever you need me. I have very open availability all week long. If you’d like your pets to stay with us we have a separate office space in the home they can use to decompress in until they are comfortable. They are free to use the whole home and if they’re cuddlers they are also welcome to sleep in the bed at night. As a mother to both human children and furry children safety is my number one priority. I will take any additional precautions that you request. Separate room in home can be offered if they need alone time or to be fed separate from our pets. They are free to use the whole house as well.
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of my dog! She sent me pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind, and he looked so happy and comfortable with her. I really appreciate the wonderful care she gave him and would absolutely recommend her!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we were so lucky to have found Amber! She was so easy to communicate with, she sent frequent updates, and worked with us on pick-up drop-off times (we booked with Rover before our travel plans were concrete). Georgie must have played all week, he slept the whole day while we were able to unpack. We HIGHLY recommend Amber! She was fantastic with our Georgie and we will definitely use her again.”

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 Shoals Junction 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 Shoals Junction 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 Shoals Junction.
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 Shoals Junction 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.
