“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!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I currently have two at the moment. A Long haired chihuahua and a Boston Terrier. I have been dog sitting my best friends dogs when she goes out of town. My mom owns a Golden Retriever who is over all the time at my house. I work a 9 to 5 with a very flexible schedule. Most weekends I am home as well I am working a full time job from 830 to 5pm but it is a very flexible schedule for me. I do not usually do anything on weekends. I love going for walks with my dogs and playing outside in the back yard a lot I treat and care for my own pets like they are my children. I will do the same for your dogs. They a routine potty breaks. I have a huge backyard they can all run and play around in.

“Kelly is fantastic! Our dog Elle gets nervous around new people but warmed up to Kelly almost immediately. While we were away, she sent us pictures and detailed updates which were very appreciated!”

“Dorothy took great care of Bentley and Royce! They were worn out when we got home. She has a great backyard for them to run around. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have grooming, training, & boarding experience. I’m experienced in administering medications; pills, eye drops, shots, etc. Animals are my peace so I’d love to give a peace of mind to others😊 I’m available full time, there are currently 6 dogs & 2 cats in my house & the pups get outside about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I also have a 3 year old whos with me 3 days out of the week. I have a fenced in yard, all of my pups & my sisters are crated when not supervised. I would prefer crates brought when staying with me just for safety reasons! & if I were to watch your pup in your hone they’d get the same love & care they receive from you😊
“Carly was amazing with our boy and we definitely plan on using her again! We recieved pictures and videos while we were gone, which our daughter absolutely enjoyed. Would 100% recommend Carly!”


“We had a great experience with Sarah! I was a little nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but Sarah was very reassuring and sent me updates and pictures. When I came to pick Milo up, he was excited to see me, but it was obvious he had enjoyed his stay, being able to run around in the fenced in yard and play together with Sarah’s dog. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to any other pet owner and I’m sure Milo will be paying her another visit soon!”

“I am very nervous with who I leave my Rocky with, but after meeting Sonya and Anthony and all their furry friends I knew Rocky was going to be left in great hands. They had spacious room and area for all their dogs to run and Rocky was so tired from playing when he got back he slept all day Sunday! Sonya was also amazing on sending me updates on Rocky the entire time I was away and kept me in the loop which I was most worried about. Rocky was so happy to be with them and doesn’t like most people but warmed up to them very easily. 1000/10 definitely recommend and would rebook!!”

“Hannah was very communicative during the booking process and throughout my dog’s stay with consistent photos and updates. My dog had just undergone minor surgery and she provided loving care while he was still on medication and sporting a cone.”

“Shireen is awesome. She helped me out in a pinch over a holiday. Benny loved playing with her dogs and had a great time. I would highly recommend her for sitting service.”

“Raquel hosted my 16.5 year old Russian Blue cat named Jack for 2 weeks. She texted a brief, daily update in the morning and evening about eating, drinking, and medicine intake along with several pictures of lounging, playing, and even brushing! When Jack got home, he settled instantly back into his routine and usual social activity which tells me he was happy during the stay with Raquel. Jack stayed in a bedroom of his own with supplies and blankets we packed from home. Raquel assured me it was very quiet and calm in her house even if other pets are also staying with her, but in separated rooms and spaces. She played and cuddled with him daily (or tried to with a 16.5 year old cat). The supplies and blankets were cleaned and returned at the end of his stay. I will book Jack for future stays since everything went so well!”

About: Hi! i did private boarding for 14 years but only want to keep 1 or 2 from same family at a time since I'm retired. Guests are only crated when I am away from home. Recently retired and home 24/7. I have a super flexible schedule to allow for plenty of play time and walks around my farm. Must be cat friendly as I also work with cat rescue organizations and have 2 inside cats of my own. I have a super large, fenced yard with two 7 year old Border Collies who get along with everyone and everything. In addition, I have a large screened porch for an additional space. I love walks and can take yours, too, for no additional charge.

“Judy was amazing! She kept both of our dogs for over a week and sent daily pictures. They both came back happy & healthy! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Absolutely wonderful to work with! Kept me updated on how the dogs were doing and sent pictures and videos. I am so happy I chose Jã-Lin to take care of my babies! I will definitely be choosing her again down the road if I need a dog sitter again!”

About: I've owned dogs my whole life, and absolutely love them. I've worked at an animal hospital for almost a year, so I'm very up to date on the best dog care. I've puppy-sat friends, family, and neighbors dogs for them, and they're always please with the care they receive. My husband and I own dogs of our own. They are our world, and we love all dogs just like our own. I've administered medication to dogs, and I'm also equipped to take care of high energy dogs as well. I'm active and I love walking-dogs make it all the better :) I'm available most days, anytime after 7am. Unfortunately, I'm not typically available on Sundays, but feel free to contact me for special requests-I'd be happy to try to accomodate to your needs. I’m a stay at home mom and dog owner! I have plenty of time to devote to your pup! Lots of love, play time and potty breaks! We have a huge back yard with plenty of shade and soft grass. I can also crate your dog if needed indoors! We love dogs at our house!

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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
