“Merrell is hands down the best! She has a wonderful home and excellent backyard, which my dog loves to run around in. This time, my dog was on medications and she managed all of them without any issue. She will continue to be my go to as she is amazing with my dog.”
“Orlena. Was amazing with our two year old mini poodle. She kept plenty of videos and pictures coming. She is such a sweetheart. We already spoke with her in regards to another booking.”
“Daisy is awesome!! Took great care of Teddy over the weekend and even before that went to great lengths to change her flight to be home in time to keep him. We really appreciated the photos and updates we received the whole time :) hopefully will bring teddy again in the future!”
“Nontombe is BEST of the BESSSTTT!! Literally took such great care of my Peter boy he was so happy !! I got TONS of photos, updates, and videos! Thank you so much girl! Peter can’t wait to see you again in a few weeks!! 💕💕💕💕”
“Our dog had a blast at Evelyn’s. He got lots of exercise, which he loves, and he ate well (which is always a good sign that he was happy). We got daily updates and couldn’t be happier with his care at Evelyn’s. Thank you!!”
“Rover Review Rewrite: Ms. Monica was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my dog as if she were her own. The regular updates and photos during her stay were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry loved ones. On a special note, I've had good sitters before, but this time, returning home, I didn't have to deal with any lingering pet odors or mess. Ms. Monica's home was impeccably clean and fresh, you wouldn't even know pets had been there. That was a huge bonus for me!”
“Eleftherios and Nicole were exceptional. They made my dog feel right at home. He has had issues with anxiety while staying at kennels, but he did great being in their home. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures throughout his stay! Thank you both so much!”
“I am so happy Emma was available last weekend! My dog, Stella, can be really skittish around new people but she warmed up to Emma immediately. Emma spoiled Stella while I was away...walks, visiting the dog park, puppacinnos, etc. I don't think Stella was ready to come home! Very happy with my experience and would absolutely recommend Emma.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, receive plenty of attention, and be treated like part of the family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, especially when you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along. I also follow each owner’s instructions because I know every dog has their own routine and personality.
“Beatriz was so great with Zeus and Zoey. We wanted someone that would give them their undivided attention and she did just that. She also had a huge yard and patio area which is great for them to run around in. She sent us lots of pics and updates which I also appreciated. I’d definitely recommend trusting her with your pups and I would definitely use her again next time I go out of town.”
“Kendra was amazing. I didn’t have to worry about my baby girl and was able to focus on my Army training. My pup came back better than she left after the grooming services Kendra provided. Trust me you will want to ask about those. Thank you, Mrs Kendra! Pepper will be happy to come back during my next field training.”
“I'd recommend Michael to anyone. We were first time Rover users and a little nervous. He suggested a meet and greet before we committed to the appointment; we accepted and got a great vibe from the start. Our dog is older and has some personality quirks and a little separation anxiety. Michael and his wife were able to easily deal with her and show her a good time, keeping us updated daily with pics and texts. They accommodated Birdie's preferred sleeping arrangements and gave her plenty of opportunity to socialize with people and other dogs in a low stress environment, which was a huge reason we didn't want to send her to a typical kennel/pet spa. Additionally, Birdie had some minor stomach issues while we were out of town and they kept us informed and updated and gave us a reliable opinion on if/when she should be taken to a vet. They watched Birdie for a week and we got her back happy and healthy, and we wouldn't hesitate to send her to them again in the future.”
“Niagara was a pleasure to work with. Professional and made us feel at ease with leaving our guy for a week. She is an exceptional communicator We will definitely recommend her and will see her again!”
“Ms Carol was phenomenal with our senior dog! He was living his best life this past weekend! We were in town for a family reunion and brought him along for the ride. 😀 I would definitely book her again if needed.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - State Park
Emma was wonderful! We were traveling through Columbia when our lodging arrangements unexpectedly changed and we found ourselves needing someone to watch Marlin overnight. Emma responded right away and was able to accommodate us on extremely short notice, which we were so appreciative of. She was great with communication and made sure all of Marlin’s needs were met. Most importantly, he seemed very happy and comfortable with her! We’re so grateful she was able to help us out at the last minute and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a caring and reliable sitter.
Beatriz was so great with Zeus and Zoey. We wanted someone that would give them their undivided attention and she did just that. She also had a huge yard and patio area which is great for them to run around in. She sent us lots of pics and updates which I also appreciated. I’d definitely recommend trusting her with your pups and I would definitely use her again next time I go out of town.
We were nervous to leave our mini sheepadoodle for the first time. She’s a bit shy, but Randi sent us daily updates and set our minds at ease right away. We were thrilled that she got to play with other dogs during her stay as well. Randi will be our go-to now anytime we need a dog sitter. Highly, highly recommend!!
Yentl was a life saver for us! We were planning to visit SC for the weekend and found out that the Airbnb didn’t allow dogs. Yentl came through for us and our Baby had a great weekend with her and her fur babies. She made adjustments to accommodate our travel schedule and maintained great communication throughout the weekend. We’ll be using her again the next time we’re visiting SC.

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 State Park 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 State Park.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 State Park 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.
