“Lauren is amazing! She watched my two dogs last minute, followed their feeding and medication schedule, took them on walks, and sent lots of photos and updates. I always am nervous to leave my dogs somewhere new and she completely put me at ease. My pups came back happy and relaxed, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Shannon was great with our pet Zeke in booking a last minute reservation. She was great with communication and photos while we were away which helped with ease of mind. She seemed experienced in pet care and that was also a plus. We would definitely bring Zeke back for a future visit.”
“Jennie was great with Myya! She sent pictures and updated us everyday. I love how she pointed out and loved Myya’s quirks that give her so much character. She came home happy and tired from playing with the other dogs! Thanks for keeping our pup entertained and well taken care of Jennie!”
“Here’s a polished review you could post: This is the second time we have utilized Brennan’s services through Rover, and once again she exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and attention she provides our fur babies while we are away. Brennan kept us updated throughout the day with multiple photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. It is obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like part of her own family. Our dogs absolutely love spending time with “Aunty Brennan” and her family, and we can tell they feel comfortable and cared for in her home. That means the world to us. We are so thankful to have found someone we trust completely with our babies. We will definitely be using Brennan again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. 100% guaranteed to provide the very best care for your fur babies!”

Lindsay followed my instructions accordingly and for that I'm very grateful. I would recommend Lindsay to my friends. Thank you for loving my girls!”
“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.”
“Martina is absolutely awesome! She responds within minutes and she has such a sweet cheerful and pleasant demeanor. I was able to book her last minute without any hiccups. She has captured some funny pic of my girl and by the looks of it my fur baby is comfortable and loving her stay. I will definitely rebook with Martina again no questions asked.”
“Took very good care of my boy! He went on so many adventures and had lots of fun. She also provided a lot of photos which are always appreciated! Great communication and would 100% trust her with my Dog again!”
“Alicia and her family took the absolute best care of my two pups! They had a wonderful stay filled with lots of cuddles and playtime. Alicia kept me well-informed with regular updates and photos, so I knew they were happy and comfortable the entire time. She was also extremely flexible when my travel plans changed slightly, which I am incredibly grateful for. I’m so happy I found her on Rover, she is officially my go-to sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sumter
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 100 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.
