“My puppy absolutely enjoyed his 2 day stay, Kiresten is super sweet & responds to my messages very quickly. From now on Kiresten will be the only sitter I take my puppy to!🥹🫶🏾”

“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”

“Brennen was an excellent sitter for my kitten, Biscuit, while I was out of town for two weeks. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Biscuit is a playful and social little guy, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which made being away much easier. I came home to a happy, well cared for kitten. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brennen again-highly recommend!”


“Audrey was honestly the best. Our cat Nova had a great time and was obviously very cared for. Audrey had great and fast communication, kept us in the loop constantly. She also gave us lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Lindsey was able to help us out in a difficult situation. She was professional, knowledgeable, and caring. She sent us updates while we were away, including pictures, which helped us feel at ease. I would hands down recommend her to keep your fur babies. We had a wonderful experience.”

About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime of dedicated animal experience, combined with the discipline and reliability of my military service. I’ve been a devoted dog owner since the age of 13, giving me a full decade of hands on familiarity with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Beyond household pets, I bring a unique level of capability honed by my time as a farmhand, where I gained invaluable experience caring for a variety of animals on a working ranch. This background ensures I’m not only comfortable and confident managing larger breeds or those requiring specific routines, but I also approach pet care with a heightened sense of responsibility, awareness, and maturity. When you entrust your furry family member to me, you’re hiring someone with instinct, professionalism, and genuine love that comes from a life spent caring for animals. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at any given time. This practice allows me to perfectly integrate their specific feeding, walking, and play schedules into my daily routine, ensuring every pet receives my full focus and attention, just as if they were my own. Whether caring for your companion in your home or mine, my primary goal is consistency and comfort. I seamlessly integrate your pet’s needs into my structured military before and after shift schedule ensuring highly reliable timings for feedings, walks, and medications to provide a stress free experience. While I am at work, your pet will have a secure, restful environment, and my off duty hours are completely dedicated to their enrichment. If I stay in your home, I treat your property with complete respect. My ranch background guarantees I’m adept at subtle health monitoring, so you can be confident your pet is not only receiving plenty of focused cuddles but is also safe, stable, and well-cared for at all times.

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
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sumter on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 97 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sumter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sumter 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 Sumter.
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 Sumter 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.
