“Fantastic Family and care. My baby loved it and wasn't excited about going home which is a great sign of top care. Appreciate the love and care she got while we were gone. 100% recommend and we will use them again.”
“This was our first time booking our pets’ boarding with Tara and I’m so grateful we found her. She took care of our babies as if they were her own. Outstanding communication and she always sent us pictures. I missed them so much but my heart was happy thanks to her and because they seemed so happy. I’m definitely coming back whenever we need pet boarding again.”

“Christina was amazing and sent pictures daily of my pup, Maple 🍁 during her stay. Communication was easy and would definitely recommend her for your dog sitting needs! 🐶”
“Outstanding and attentive service. I was reluctant to book a dog sitter in lieu of using a kennel, but Jared has turned my paradigm for dog care around. The environment for dogs he has created is care free for me and comfortable for the dog. He provides photos and feedback daily and this was overall a great experience for my k9 friend.”
“Lindsey was the best dog sitter we could have found and we are more than happy with her service! Our 2 dogs were there for one week and she took great care of them while sending comprehensive updates every day. I loved all the cute pictures she took and I felt she was very reliable and professional and has lots of experience with different dogs. She handled the issues with our senior dog very well. I would book her again!”

“Brianna and her family were so wonderful with our pup, even when he broke a baby gate by their stairs. We got lots of updates and could see that he was having the time of his life!”

Tara is amazing! Kept me informed and took great care of my babies. This was my first time having them away from us, so I was a little worried. After the first day, I completely relaxed. I could tell she knew what she was doing and my pups were safe in her care. I highly recommend her.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Startex is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $84 per night.

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.
94% of sitters in Startex 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 Startex 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 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 , 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.
