“Shannon was great with our Dalmatian. We recently got him and were unsure how he’d do because he’s been so skiddish. However, Shannon loved our boy and he really opened up to them during his stay. Highly recommend her.”
“Incredible experience with Brennen, I couldn’t be happier and would book her again in a heartbeat! They send plenty of photos and videos of our boy having fun, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that Ponch was well taken care of!”
“Lindsey was amazing! She was kind, patient and knowledgeable. She treated my pups like her own, they needed a lot of understanding and special attention since we’ve never left them before. Lindsey went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and sent lots of pictures to put us at ease. Thank you so much!!!”
“Alise was great with our dog Snoopy! She sent daily pictures and was extremely responsive to our communication. There is a big park right next to them, so Snoopy got plenty of outside time and seemed as happy as when he is at home with us! We couldn't have asked for more.”
“Maria was so kind and patient with my spoiled rotten doodle! I know my pup can be a handful, and I know she had a hard time being away from me for the first time overnight, but Maria did everything possible to keep her happy. She also was wonderful about working with me on pickup and drop off! Traffic was terrible, and she was very accommodating. Thank you, Maria!”
About: I bring calm, consistent and genuine attentiveness to every pet's routine. I don't just show up, I notice them and their habits and love them as if they were my own. I'm your trusted neighbor who will provide the best care for your pet! I'm currently available for any scheduling needs; morning, during the day, evenings. Whether you just need me to stop by to check on your pet, walk your dog, keep your pet overnight, I'm here for you! I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of open space inside of my home. I love to be active myself, so your pet will stay busy and happy!
About: I’m a young professional with a flexible schedule due to my part time job/full time student status. I have a love for all animals and will be sure to provide only the best for your pets while you are away. I have experience with dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, birds, and more. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am available for dog walking, drop ins, and in house care almost any day of the week. Safety is my top priority, and whether I am caring for your animals in your home or taking your dog for a walk, I will always be sure to keep your animals safe and protected in any environment.
About: I have always had multiple dogs in the household growing up. I have raised and trained many puppies for myself and others. I am patient, loving, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I typically work 3 days a week as a registered nurse, and my workdays vary from week to week. This gives me flexibility on my days off to care for your pets. I can coordinate my availability with your needs and will always communicate clearly about scheduling. I have 4 fur babies of my own! Two are small and two are medium to large-sized dogs (all can be crated in their own room if need be). They are part of my family, and I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I follow feeding instructions, respect each pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I am happy to discuss any special needs, preferences, or concerns you may have so you can feel confident leaving your pets in my care.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sumter is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $50 per night.

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.
99% of sitters in Sumter 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 Sumter home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
