“Rebecca took amazing care of our two dogs for 7 or 8 days. She kept us so Informed, and made sure they got lots of love, playtime and even a bath! I can’t recommend her enough. We will Be using her every time now.”
About: Hi! I'm Kernix — a military spouse, dog lover, and proud chocolate Lab mom to Josie! I know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and stress-free place for your pup while you're away. My goal is to provide a true "home away from home" experience with lots of attention, structure, and affection. I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, we had pugs, chihuahuas, bunnies, and hamsters, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. We moved to South Carolina in October 2025 after previously being stationed in Washington. My husband is originally from Myrtle Beach, SC, and we've loved settling into the Summerville community and making it feel like home. 1 Family at a Time: I only accept one client family at a time so your pup will receive personalized care without the stress of a crowded boarding environment. This setup works especially well for puppies, anxious dogs, seniors, or dogs who simply do better with a calmer environment. About Our Home & Routine: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely play, sniff, and explore. Dogs enjoy regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment activities, belly rubs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also closely follow feeding routines and medication schedules when needed. Meet Josie: We also have our sweet chocolate Lab,Josie! She is extremely friendly and social and has done wonderfully with every person, dog, and cat she has met so far. Josie enjoys meeting friendly dogs and would love a playmate during your pup's stay. Meet & Greets & Communication: I highly encourage meet & greets before boarding, especially for first-time stays. I want both you and your pup to feel comfortable and confident before booking. Communication is very important to me, and I always do my best to stay flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Boarding & Doggy daycare: Doggy day care pickup is by 5 PM. If pickup is needed after 5 PM, please book boarding instead so I can properly accommodate your pup's evening and overnight care routine. Boarding Requirements: To help keep everyone safe and comfortable, I currently only accept: • Dogs that are reasonably potty trained • Friendly dogs that do well around people and other dogs • Dogs that are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention Because I provide care in my personal home, I may not be the best fit for dogs with severe separation anxiety, destructive behaviors, or frequent indoor accidents.
“Lea always takes the best care of Charlotte, and Charlotte always have so much fun with Luna and Cooper. We love here so much and will be returning! Always 100% recommend!”
“Marley thoroughly enjoyed himself while boarding with Jasmine and her family. He played and had fun with the other dogs and the kids. I would very much recommend Jasmine for your pet boarding and daycare needs. Tammie Dixon”
“My Lola so clearly enjoyed her time here! I received multiple videos and pictures of my dog regularly, as well as regular communications on how she was doing. My pup is very nervous, and she really enjoyed the structured and attentive environment. I will definitely be sending her to her new home away from home again!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Stephen and Jessica. We couldn’t be happier and would use them again tomorrow if needed. Cork always has a great time playing with their dogs. They take him on walks and he is always tired when we come pick him up. Even though Cork has some interesting behaviors, Stephen and Jessica have gone with the flow and have been very understanding.”
“Excellent care for our senior doodle! Rachel is professional and I would absolutely recommend her. She communicated with us frequently and I felt confident knowing my dog was in her care. She was flexible when our flight was significantly delayed and we couldn’t get our dog until the next morning. Five stars!!!”
“This was the first time I've had to board my dog with someone so I was definitely apprehensive about leaving him. Lina immediately put us at ease with the meet and greet. She gave me several updates with pictures and videos each day that we were gone and I could tell that he was well taken care of. I would be happy to use her again in the future”
“Our pup acted as though he’d arrived home on our third stay with Kathy and Dennis. He loves his time with them and always returns home a “happy tired”. This last visit he looked back at Kathy as we left for home as if to implore her to come with. We’re so glad to have such awesome folks taking care of him!!”
“David was an amazing sitter for my two goobers, sent lots of pics and stayed in touch the entire time. Both dogs had a great time and will be sure to reach out to him again if I need sitting in the future!”
“Kathy boarded my two senior Shih tzus in her home for 4 days. She was great- sending pictures and keeping me updated the entire time. She responded quickly whenever I reached out. One of my dogs got sick during the trip and she was kind enough to make rice and broth to help them feel better. She has a fenced in backyard that was great to have my dogs explore safely. Will be using her again for future trips!”
“I could not be any happier with the care and love Levon got while staying with Benjamin and his wife! It gave me peace of mind and the ability to enjoy my trip knowing how much fun he was having with their dogs. I’ll definitely use their services again!”
“We had a great experience with our Manik while they watched Simba and River. I really appreciated the updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind and showed that my dogs were having lots of fun and getting plenty of love and attention. It was clear they were well cared for. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Alyssa was amazing!! I was very happy with her great communication and how well she took care of our senior german shepherd pup ! She was super caring and attentive to make sure our dog had the best possible care. I recommend her highly and can’t wait to continue to use her for our future stays.”
“I could tell from Vilmas photos my pups were comfortable and felt safe with her. My babies are needy so I'm thankful for someone as caring as Vilma. Will gladly use her services again if she will have us. Thank you!!”
About: We have both taken care of animals our whole lives, we are both registered nurses with a love for animals of all ages and breeds. We have both rescued animals and have experience with puppies and senior age dogs. Both of our dogs at home are rescues that have required a lot of love and dedication that have become our world. They love to play and make new friends. We live on just over an acre of land that is fully fenced in that is our dogs paradise, and could be yours as well! We understand the peace of mind you want as you leave your fur babies in our care and will provide high quality care and reassurance at all times. We both work from home as remote care nurses. The dogs would never be left alone unless we run out quickly. Potty breaks and playtime would be frequent throughout the day. In a short sentence, our dogs rule our house. We are firm believers in giving animals the best life you can give them and allowing them to feel comfortable in our home, as it was their own. We understand owners may have routines they expect us to follow with their animals and we will honor those requests.
“Jennifer was fantastic and Darwin loved his stay. She clearly loves dogs. treated him like one of her own, and kept us updated with photo updates and activity reports. She sent him home with some homemade treats, a toy, and a letter describing his stay. She has a big backyard where all the dogs can play, and said Darwin spent 90% of his time outside. I feel totally safe and secure leaving Darwin with her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summerville
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! ❤️❤️❤️
Saffron really went out of her way to help us out after we had to adjust our plans due to an unexpected hospital stay. They are hard working, extremely well organized and very good at communication. We had a lot of turmoil in our personal lives during our booking, but at least we knew the dogs were something we didn't have to worry about! It is hard to put into words how much getting a little video of them playing was comforting during a very stressful time. Highly recommended.
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.
David was an amazing sitter for my dogs. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and they sent plenty of pictures and videos that gave me peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared for my dogs and treated them very well while they were with them. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
This is probably Henleys 8th time staying with Alice, and she is absolutely wonderful! Henley was sick a couple of days after dropping her off and Alice was so sweet and patient with me (being out of town) and Henley! Alice keeps you updated every day, it makes it hard to want to chose anyone else!
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.
Veronica was absolutely amazing with Zena! From the start, she treated my dog like her own and made sure she felt safe, loved, and comfortable. Zena can be a little skittish at first, but Veronica was patient, gentle, and incredibly understanding. She gave me consistent updates, photos, and reassurance the whole time, which meant so much. I could truly tell Zena was in great hands. Veronica went above and beyond in every way, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. All in all, a great experience — I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet like family!
Samantha and her family were amazing with Waverly! I received daily updates and was ensured that she was safe and treated amazingly! Also Samantha made accommodations for Waverly last minute as my original plans had fell through! Thank you so so much, Samantha & family! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 1,118 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Summerville. About 92% of Summerville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
