“We couldn’t be more grateful for Genny and the care she provided to our newly rescued dog while we were away! From the start, it was clear he was in good hands. Genny has such a deep love for her "fur babies," and it was evident that she treated our dog as her own (she also has the sweetest little dog that makes everyone feel at home). Our dog was still adjusting to his new life, and we were hesitant about leaving him with anyone during such a sensitive time, especially since we had already planned a two-week trip before we decided to adopt him. But Genny handled everything with so much love, patience, and grace. She truly created the perfect environment for him to rest, relax, and ease into his new routine- even helped him learn basic commands. We loved receiving daily photos and updates that gave us peace of mind knowing that he was getting all the attention and care he needed. The kindness and exceptional care she provided made all the difference, and we’ll definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Saffron and TJ took great care of my furbabies. They provided pictures and updates on which offered me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend them and will we will be visiting them again. A+”
“Levi loves going to Hannah’s! I never have to worry about Levi cause he always has the best time. He loves all the new doggy friends that he gets to hang out with. I always get so many pictures to assure that he’s well taken care of! Thanks Hannah!”
“They did a great job taking care of our lab Tucker. Booking and communication were very smooth. Made Tucker feel right at home and kept me updated throughout my trip. Would recommend!”
“Leo, an older, a little nervous, terrier was welcomed by Marina and both her dogs immediately. Lots of pictures were sent showing Leo doing all the things he loves to do. I'm very happy to have found her and fully plan on taking Leo on another vacation to Marina's. Thank you!”
“100000000/10. Tisha and Star are amazing with my baby Gemma. This was her second stay with them and Gemma just adores them both. Tisha is excellent at communicating when it comes to your babies- what’s going on with them, how they are doing, and sends multiple photos every day. Gemma did have an emergency this last stay but both Tisha and Star did everything in their power to make sure my girl was okay, got her the care she needed right away, and accommodated to her needs afterwards. It was stressful not being there with her through it, BUT I’m grateful they were the ones taking care of her. They truly take care of my girl and love her like she is their own. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! ❤️”
About: Our family raised and cared for our 15 year old Miniature Schnauzer baby until she recently passed the rainbow bridge. We have opened our home to puppies and adult dogs since her passing and have loved spoiling all of the babies big and small, young and old! I work from home and am able to provide constant love and attention to your babies inside the home. I also am extremely flexible and can come visit your babies at the times you request in your home and spend time with them outside or out of their crate. I have a fenced back yard and a neighborhood with sidewalks where I can walk with your babies if you want them to stay with me. If you choose to keep your baby at your home I will make sure they have love, exercise and time outside of their crate.
“Sarah was wonderful! Our dog is 10 years old and has been sick so he’s on several medications twice a day and Sarah took wonderful care of him. I was incredibly anxious about leaving him and she provided daily updates and pictures that showed he was in great hands. We picked him up and he was perfectly happy and seemed to have had a great time with Sarah and her family! Would absolutely recommend and would love for Sarah to watch any of our pets in the future!”
“Our pup had so much fun hanging out with Ronin, Kristi, and Will. We received great updates and cute photos of the pups in their sweaters waiting for treats. She also sent a cute video of them playing in the snow. Kristi made us feel comfortable which allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”
“Michelle gave me the peace of mind to be able to take a long needed vacation and know that my pup was in the best hands. There is no denying the love and attention he got over this last week, between playing with other pups, exploring the snow, and all the snuggles he got. She sent lots of photos and videos to keep me updated on the daily adventures, but most of all, I am thankful for the debriefs after his stay. Benny is already looking forward to his next getaway ♥️”
“Alexis and John took great care of my boys (both are Dachshunds). Alexis sent daily photos and kept in contact the whole time. This was our first time boarding them with a service like Rover, so I was pretty nervous since one of our boys has IVDD and the other had not been boarded in at least four years. They received their joint medicine and got plenty of cuddles. I would not hesitate to use them again.”
“Lina was amazing! This was our first time leaving our 10 month old puppy. He was very anxious the first night and Lina went above and beyond and slept on the couch so he wasn’t alone. She sent regular photos/videos and updates at least daily. Our pup loved playing with all the other dogs she boards.”
“What peace of mind to have when Gumbeaux was is your care! Great experience, stress free, last minute accommodation with you both and thank you for spoiling him. I can tell that he enjoyed you guys!! Look forward to the next opportunity to book”
“Definitely recommend Jennifer for our dog! She kept us up to date with our dogs stay including numerous photos! We never had to worry what he was doing at any time! She was very prompt responding! You never had to ask for an update because Jennifer was already messaging us to tell us he’s doing great. I will definitely use Jennifer for the future for another stay! Please use Jennifer for the care of our pets visit! We couldn’t be happier!”
“Manik and his wife were amazing, everything was excellent great communication and we could tell Blu enjoyed his stay. Manik sent videos and pictures interacting outside with Blu reassuring us that he wasn’t locked in a room or kennel all day, that was my biggest concern from past Rover sitters. I would highly recommend this family and definitely book again .”
“Jessica was great with Roo and Charlie! She sent us pictures throughout their stay and made us feel completely at ease leaving them. Both dogs seemed to get along really well with her pup, and she handled Roo’s extra puppy energy without any issue. We really appreciated the updates and would definitely feel comfortable booking with Jessica again.”
“Chelsea was FANTASTIC! Our girls were both cared for so well and I will definitely be using Chelsea again! She sent so many pictures and did a great job of keeping us up to date! Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summerville
Great first-time experience. We recently moved to SC from CA, so this is the first time our two fur babies have been away from us since arriving in SC. One of our dogs is highly reactive towards people who aren’t mom and dad ( fear based), and has only ever stayed with our trainer ( back in CA). We left them both with Joshua and Jade overnight for a test run. Happy to report all went well and we’ll be re-booking for a longer stay so our reactive boy can play with other doggies.
Leo, an older, a little nervous, terrier was welcomed by Marina and both her dogs immediately. Lots of pictures were sent showing Leo doing all the things he loves to do. I'm very happy to have found her and fully plan on taking Leo on another vacation to Marina's. Thank you!
Such an absolute blessing! The care and consideration taken for my big beautiful dobbie. Aurora absolutely had the time of her life with Kernix, Travis, and of course Josie. Each day she kept us updated with pictures and videos of our girl having the time of her life. When you leave a loved one in the care of someone you often worry about them. But not with Kernix and family. Never a doubt in our mind that our pup was being cared for with the most love we could ask for.
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Summerville on Rover is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 1,115 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.
93% 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, 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 Summerville.
<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 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 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.
