“Megan is amazing! Our pup was so happy to see her again and from the pictures it looks like she had so much fun! Megan even gave us the sweetest handmade gift because we were going out of town for our wedding! :)”
“Tara is dependable, she loves animals. Great communication, always quick to respond. My pup was very happy there, I've received updates about my dog's stay, he had lots of fun.”
“Dara was amazing! She was exactly what I needed leaving my new fur baby for the first time. She sent daily updates and was ready to accommodate any of his needs and feeding schedules. I would 2000% use her again.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have experience with mediation management and administration and am comfortable caring for medically complex or senior pets :) I work full time but do work from home about 75% of the time at least so I am home most of the day to care for your pets! I have two friendly dogs and two dog-savvy cats who get along with everyone! I can easily crate or separate animals into separate spaces in my home if the need arises
“Cristina was super responsive and she made me feel at ease leaving my fur baby behind, especially since he got hurt at the dog park right before the holidays and I wasn’t able to get him to see the vet beforehand. She made sure to keep me updated every day with his condition and took an extra good care of him. I absolutely recommend Cristina to anyone that’s looking for a loving and caring sitter for their fur babies!!”
“Our recent stay for Sam with Madison was our first time using the Rover app. Wow! We could not have asked for more -- it genuinely blew us away how great the experience was! Madison was a tremendous host for Sam -- extremely responsive on the message app; very courtesy and friendly with the drop-off of Sam; provided photos/video and daily recaps of Sam's stay; and was flexible and willing to accommodate us to our convenience on pick-up. Not only have we found the Rover app to be easy to navigate and efficient with the information it provides -- we have found Madison to be an All-Star Sitter, that frankly probably provided better care for Sam than he receives on a weekly basis at home! Genuinely very impressed and appreciative of Madison and the Rover platform.”
“It was the first time I had left my 2 beloved dogs anywhere, and I was so lucky to have found Jen. She was always sending me updates and pictures and was very patient with my anxiety about leaving them for a whole week. They were free to roam about the house and loved the enclosed porch. They received a lot of love and attention and I will definitely be taking them back!”
“Our Ellie had a great time with Carrie! Carrie sent us lots of pics and we were pleased with Carrie's boarding services. Carrie worked with us on drop off/pick up times and she even washed Ellie's bed when it got muddy. We are happy to know that Ellie was so well cared for. We look forward to boarding with her again!”
“Garrett was fantastic with our dog, Bailey! He took her to the dog park, gave her a bath, and kept us updated with daily photos and videos. His communication was great, and it was clear he genuinely cared about Bailey. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Garrett again! Highly recommend!!”
“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“Apollo had such an amazing time at Ben’s playing with their dog, Lily, this weekend. I really enjoyed receiving photos of them playing throughout the weekend. We will definitely book stays with them again in the future!”
“Where do I begin? Kashawna was outstanding with my babies. I think she spoiled them even more(if possible)😂 she took them on walks mixed their food kelp them on their feeding schedule and loved on them. I also received plenty pics which made it easy for me to relax and enjoy my vacation. Will definitely use her again!”
“Angela was fantastic! We had to take a long trip over the Christmas break to see family and she took great care of our little guy. Very attentive, sent regular updates on my dog, and super friendly! Will be booking again.”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Britney was outstanding taking care of Tini… she was attentive, provided regular feedback and photos, and was super responsive and reliable. Her boys are the sweetest and we are very grateful to have found such a loving family to take care of our Tini!”

"I cannot recommend [Madison C.] enough! She took absolutely incredible care of my two dogs. Every single day, she sent professional-grade photos of them that I will honestly treasure forever. She followed our feeding instructions perfectly, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. To top it all off, she gave them both a bath before I picked them up, and they smelled absolutely amazing! She truly went above and beyond, and I will definitely be booking with her again."
I highly recommend Colby as your #1 Rover pet sitter! She is outstanding! Colby was very caring, attentive, and accommodating to Jessie's particular needs, habits, and routines. It's very evident she has a lot of experience with a variety of animals and genuinely wants her special visitors to 'feel-at-home' and enjoy their time while in her care. Thank you, Colby for giving such great care to Miss Jessie Rae! We sincerely appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again!
Emerson watched our Hally for us after her spay surgery, it was a last minute booking but she was more than happy to help. She was very personable, friendly and communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures of our sweet girl. It was clear that Hally had a great time with her when we came to pick her up. We had absolutely zero concerns while Hally was in her care and we would love to book with her again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Startex on Rover is $44.4 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 639 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Startex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
92% of Startex sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Startex 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 Startex 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 Startex.
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 Startex 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.
