“Cristina is the best sitter. She genuinely cares about Bentley as if he was hers. She spoils him and he loves it. I don't have to worry about his wellbeing after I drop him off. Thank you Cristina.”
“This is my second time leaving my dog with Jen and our next stay is already booked! She sent lots of pictures and I could tell my dog was super happy and he gave her kisses when we left. I feel great peace of mind leaving my dog with Jen!”
“Andrea was awesome, she kept our Yorkie (Thumper) for 8 days while we took a vacation. She showed him love, she's so sweet, she took great care of him. We highly recommend her, She kept us updated on how he was doing, she sent us videos and pictures.”
“Julie watched our two pugs for 20 days and did an incredible job. Leaving two dogs for almost three weeks can be stressful, but Julie made the process seamless. She provided consistent updates and daily photos. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs. We will definitely be booking with Julie again!”
“I completely trust Michelle with Charlotte and Dixie when we go on vacation. She communicates throughout their stay with messages, photos, and videos. We prefer knowing they join her family in her home instead of being in a crate at a kennel. I can tell they love going to “Camp Michelle” because their tails start wagging when we pull into her driveway. Having Michelle as our preferred Rover host makes planning and enjoying vacations so much easier. Thank you, Michelle!”
“Alyssa took great care of Poppy and at the same time really helped us get her to socialize with other dogs more. Alyssa is also very communicative. She sent text updates and pictures which is very comforting for those of us (namely me) who are a little nervous sending their dogs out into the world. I highly recommend Alyssa and will be booking her again when we need a Poppy-sitter.”
“Thank you Lindsy, my baby Millie had a wonderful time with you and your family. She came home happy and tired from playing and napping all day. I appreciate your accommodation and kindness, we will be booking again for sure, probably today!”
About: I really enjoy animals so much. I just do not meet a stranger when it comes to dogs and cats. Your home would be my home away from home. Im 54 years old with a 10 year old son. I enjoy teaching him about how wonderful each animal can be. I personally believe if you teach a child to love animals they will grow up to be wonderful people. I do not have a big home but it is ful of love. We treat all animals like they are part of our family. I can not wait to meet you and your family (pets).. This job is a test to see if i can make an income big enough to stay home with my son. . God Bless each and everyone of you.
“Brittany and her husband were great with our dogs! She always sent updates with pictures and videos, and kept us informed to make sure everything was okay. We messed up the scheduling, but she was very nice and accommodating so we could still pick them up. Highly recommend! Definitely would book her again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southern Shops
Liliya and family were fantastic! We can’t thank them enough for taking care of Cashew. Short story long…we had another sitter cancel last minute and left us in a bind. We scrambled and found Liliya to take care of our little guy. She responded quickly and efficiently. We can’t thank her enough. She left us updated with pics and correspondence. Would 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 Southern Shops home-away-from-home, 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 Southern Shops.
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 Southern Shops 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 , 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 .
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.
