“Gidget is always happy to arrive at Genny’s!! The updates and pictures I get are the best and I know my baby is always in good hands and get the same care I would give. Thank you”
“Provides daily pics and videos while ur away which is great reassurance for anyone who’s nervous about leaving their dogs while traveling. My dog was comfortable, happy, and clean throughout the ten days he was in their care. 😊 Their dog Josie is an absolute sweetheart too!”
“Jennifer took very good care of my Sheba I was out of the country and was anxious about being so far away from my pet baby. Jennifer sent me pictures every day and kept me posted on how well she was being taken care of.”
“Amazing! I cannot thank Rebeca and her family enough for taking care of my 2 senior dogs for 9 days while I went on vacation. Knowing they were taken care of was such a relief. I was able to enjoy my trip. She sent me pictures every day. They had a great time.”
“We had a fantastic experience! Our two boxers were so well cared for, and we really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. They also loved playing with their two sweet Great Danes—such a great bonus! Highly recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Juliet did a wonderful job with our fur baby. Even though our dog didn’t appear to get along too well with her pet it was no fault of Juliet. It was Stitch’s first time around other dogs since we had her.”
“This was my first time using Rover because as a new dog grandparent I didn't know what to do about my dog and vacation so I did a Google search and Rover appeared. I contacted Liz and from there she made me feel comfortable. When I dropped my dog off her and her husband made that experience very easy and not so overwhelming. Because this was new to me they helped me so much because I didn't have schedules for potty breaks or feeding or treats so Liz stepped in and helped my dog adjust as well as they adjusted to her.. I got pictures and updates that made me and my daughter happy since we were so far away. The entire family treated my dog like there own . Liz was so accommodating to me and my situation and timing with our flight out of town and coming back in town with so many delays( long story) but she was very very helpful and I'm very very grateful I choose her to care for my dog. My dog also had another dog to play with and she must have played hard because she is so sleepy so her vacation was well worth it. I am definitely using her again. She is definitely worth the drive but don't think it far or the price when choosing her think of the quality of care your dog will receive and the peace of mind you will have...”
“Oh My Goodness!!! Sorry for the delay. 😌 I went on a MUCH NEEDED vacation from being a FULL-TIME caregiver for my father. I've had 2 previous sitters that were booked during this time; so the search began. Miss Nicole's name came up, we had a meet and greet and the search was over! They loved on my girls and my girls loved on them! What a great family! They kept me updated by sending sweet pictures of my girls fitting right in! Thank you (ALL) again!!! Fives all around!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Our pup, Finley spent 2 weeks over the holidays with Abby and her family! She was amazing with frequent updates and pics that made us feel confident that Finley was having a great vacation too!”
“Thank you again Kathy for taking care of my sweet baby! She does an amazing job with communicating and lets you know that your fur baby is well taking care of. I highly recommend Kathy if you are in need of a pet sitter.”
“Joshua is a great sitter for our anxious Coco. His place is very clean, soothing, and peaceful. He is great with our fur baby, sending updates and pictures. We will not hesitate to use him again in the future.”
“Abigail was wonderful from start to finish! She sent me updates throughout the day to let me know how Red was doing and how he was acclimating. She made it easy to leave him in her capable hands. I will be using her again in the future.”
About: I have had many animals in the past few years of all kinds. (Dogs, cats, snakes, guinea pigs, fish, etc) I love animals so much and would love to watch your pets when you are in need of someone! Pet care is something I am very used to in my routine since I have always had pets of my own, so it’s a normal daily routine for me, no problem! I make sure to walk dogs daily, clean up any accidents or messes immediately, separate dogs during feeding times if necessary, always let dogs outside immediately when they alert me that they need to go etc.
“Tori and her family were fantastic! Very welcoming to us and Daisy and I felt confident leaving my girl with her. Tori gave great updates and looked like such a blast. I came home to a happy, worn out pup who had a weekend away- which is the absolute best feeling- knowing she wasn’t just taken care of, but that she also really enjoyed her stay!”
“We had such a great experience with Kali watching our little corgi pup! I could tell she was having such a good time with all the photos Kali sent. We will definitely be going to Kali in the future to watch our girl!”

Saffron and her husband were great with our dogs. We were very worried that our older girl would be nervous and anxious the whole time but she did great. Our hyper younger dog fit in great with the other hyper dogs. They both knew how to handle the "pack" well. We were able to relax and enjoy our quick trip without worrying about our dogs. Will definitely us them again!

We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer while she cared for our dog, Kofi, for 10 days. I really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident in leaving Kofi in her care. Throughout our vacation, she provided continuous updates, messages, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Kofi was well cared for, happy, and in great hands. Her communication and attentiveness made all the difference, and we are so grateful for the excellent care she provided. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Lizzy did a fantastic job watching Beau! She truly cares for pets and took such good care of him. He got plenty of exercise and she sent us the cutest photo updates every day. It was such a relief to travel knowing our dog was in great hands. We will absolutely book with Lizzy again! ❤️❤️❤️
Bridgette was amazing!! 10+stars if I could rate higher and she had great quick communication .This experience was our best, I could immediately tell Blu was happy and enjoyed his stay she gave him the love and attention he needed and he wasn’t confined to a kennel all day . Bridgette was excellent and we would definitely book with her again!
This was our second time using Rover and I think I have found a permanent sitter with Victoria. The flexibility and understanding is amazing. The constant communication and updates keeps your mind at ease while your away from your fur child. My Titan came back home so happy. 100% will be using again.
Tonia, is the best dog sitter!!! She sent texts, videos and pictures during my dogs stay. She loved my pet the way I love him. She is very thorough and has a vast knowledge and experience of animals. It allowed me to have a great family visit knowing my sweet dog was being taken care of! I will definitely be using her again!!! ❤️
Kirill was absolutely wonderful with our cat and dog. We were out of town for two weeks and Kirill watched them both, providing love, care, as well as consistent communication back to us. We got daily updates from him every day on how they were doing along with pictures.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Summerville is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,092 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Summerville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Summerville 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 Summerville 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 Summerville.
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 Summerville 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.
