Stephanie was *great* with my Casey dog. She sent pics, throughout the stay. She also helped me learn that Casey isn't always great around other dogs, so I will have to update that in her bio, sadly. I super highly recommend Stephanie for all your doggy boarding needs. My pup looked so content in the pics she sent me <3

Willis was great with our dog, he updated us frequently with pictures and made sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. Winter seemed to have a great time there, and warmed up to Willis and his home quickly. Would definitely recommend and book again!

Destiney and Benjamin took great care of our two German shepherds. Very quick to answer messages and have a great space for your pets to stay. We received lots of updates and pictures during their stay. Would highly recommend and we will be using them again.

About: I've got decades of experience pampering pups of ALL ages and sizes! I've been an animal lover my whole life, and grew up with lots of doggos! I currently live in an apartment with my 1 sweet dog, but I work from home so your dog will have constant care. They will get plenty of exercise and potty breaks. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. So I will be able to walk, cuddle, and cater to your pet whenever you need me to! When caring for pets in your home, I make sure your babe(s) feels safe, loved, and entertained. I stick closely to your instructions, whether it's about feeding schedules, exercise routines, or special needs. Your pet’s comfort (and approval) is my top priority! I love keeping you in the loop with updates, including fun photos or videos, so you can see how happy your pet is. Playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation are part of our daily routine to keep your pet active and happy. In case of emergencies, I’m prepared and know the nearest veterinary clinics. Plus, I always respect your space, keeping it clean and tidy. My goal is to provide a loving, trustworthy, and fun environment for your pet while you're away.

My regular boarding place doesn't take dogs under 9 months old, and I had only had my 4 month old puppy less than a week when I learned I had to go out of town to visit a sick family member. I found Tori here and sent a message at 10:30 pm as a long shot. She responded THAT night! She was flexible with my arrival time and glitches with my attempted payments online. She communicated and sent hilarious and sweet pictures daily of all their adventures and snuggle time together, which really eased my mind and brightened some tough days. She treated my needy puppy like her own giving him the attention he needed in the midst of such tumultuous transition for him, and stressful time for me. When I picked him up, he was happy with a contented belly, well exercised and had an empty bladder for the long ride home. Tori also told me she had picked off a crawling tick who must have hitched a ride during their romp in the grass, and alerted me to a rash on the inside of his leg that I had missed before I dropped him off. She noticed his slight growth in that short time, taught him how to walk on a leash, and worked with him on climbing stairs. I dropped off a confused little barely-trained puppy and got back a well-adjusted, happily socialized one with new skills! It's hard to find a sitter who knows your dog as well as you do. It's a miracle to find one who knows your dog BETTER than you do! I'm so glad Tori is sticking around after Graduation. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again. Congrats, Tori! Best of luck on your boards!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.

I contacted Chelsea last minute and she was so understanding and cooperative. She sent me pictures all weekend and kept me updated (even when I forgot to check in one day). Harley loved her and is so tired from playing that she’s been sleeping for hours. I definitely recommend Chelsea and will absolutely be a returning customer! ?

Clemente had an amazing weekend staying with Destiny and Benjamin. They took excellent care of him while I was away visiting friends. They were very attentive to his needs, taking him on walks a couple of times each day and giving him plenty of belly rubs. They were also great communicators, sending daily photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Destiny and Benjamin to anyone looking for caring, reliable pet sitters!

Patricia was as sweet and caring to our golden fur babies as always! She kept me updated throughout the day with how they are doing pictures included. She was easy to work with coordinating drop off and pick up. I know the pups will appreciate coming back in the future!

FAQs for Boarding - South Charleston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Charleston on Rover is $35.31 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 52 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Charleston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter 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.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 South Charleston 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 South Charleston.

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 South Charleston 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 WV 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.
