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!

Alise and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of my Schnoodle for the weekend. She communicated with me throughout the weekend providing photos of some of the activities. They seemed to give my dog lots of love and she returned to me happy and healthy.

About: I have been caring for pets for 30 years. Not only my own pets, but our friends and families pets. I have rescued many dogs and cats over the years and even a bird or two. The pets have been puppies to seniors. I have trained many to use a bell at the door to go outside and go potty. I can do some basic training.. I have kept up with their training, started training for puppies being held for Christmas gifts, etc.I promise to love, care and cuddle your pets as l do mine. I have always been a stay at home mom since adopting my children. Now that they are 20 and 21, I’m just a homebody. I am able to tend to your babies 24/7. In my home, I will separate my pets as people bring in theirs. When the owners leave, I will introduce them one at a time. I can administer their medicine, do some light grooming, take on walks, and my schnauzer says he will let them play with his ball thrower. Oh, and pets will never be fed together.

I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving loving, reliable care while they’re away.

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.

About: With years of dedicated pet care experience, I am passionate about providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for your furry friends. I specialize in caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their unique needs are met with patience and compassion. I have experience training puppies in basic commands and housebreaking, and I am skilled in managing the special care required for senior dogs, including mobility support and medication administration. What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals, attention to detail, and commitment to individualized care. I treat each pet as if they were my own, offering plenty of play, cuddles, and stimulation. Rest assured, your dog will be in caring hands, receiving the attention, comfort, and care they deserve while you're away. Pet care is integrated into my daily routine through consistent feeding, play, and hygiene, ensuring my pet feels loved, healthy, and happy. Weekly tasks help maintain their overall well-being and strengthen our bond. In my boarding dog service, safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure a secure environment by monitoring pets closely and following health protocols. I build trust through gentle interaction and consistent routines, keeping pet owners updated regularly. The environment is clean, cozy, and filled with opportunities for exercise and play, making dogs feel safe, loved, and stress-free during their stay. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company. If your dog is not good around other animals that is no problem with them staying separate. I accommodate to your needs.

About: I have experience taking care of a Doberman in the past for 2 years. I’m very familiar with homes with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I’ve also volunteered to walk dogs at a local shelter. I work full time Monday through Friday so the best time for me is the weekend. You can go on your weekend getaway with a peace of mind. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I will follow all owner instructions carefully, prioritize each pet’s comfort and security, and ensure constant supervision and responsible care.

Erica was an absolute blessing to our family. We've been hesitant about boarding options for our Goldendoodle - as she's truly part of our family, and we could not have asked for a better first experience with Rover. Erica took amazing care of Ellie, sent us daily reports and photos, and communicated perfectly.

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sumter

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sumter on Rover is $36.38 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 102 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.
