“Lauren was kind,professional, and wonderful to work with. Our dog had a great time playing with her dog, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Fantastic sitter! Kirsten is very responsive and super sweet to your pets. She handled our cat's odd litter (wood pellet) without issue, which made everything super smooth! Her cat, Momo, was also super gentle and accepting of our Mindy. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and I will be holding onto her info for when we need a sitter again!”
“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!”
“Jennifer was great with Maggie! She sent photos and updates of Maggie throughout the weekend. Maggie seemed very happy when she was picked up. We will definitely let Maggie stay again! Thank you!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Freyja and Bohdi LOVED their time with Falynn. They were well looked after and made to feel right at home. Plenty of love, attention and safe space outdoors to play. They definitely will be visiting again!”
“We left Potato with Alise’s family for about a week while we left the country. We felt he was in great hands and never felt uneasy being overseas. She provided constant updates and photos of his stay. He loved his time with her family. And when we came to pick him up it was like he forgot about us and wanted to stay longer lol. Will definitely leave him with Alise again in the future. She even sent him home with some cute vegan treats :)”

I have a fenced back yard that will keep your pet safe. and plenty of space outside and inside the house for them to run around and stay healthy. I have 2 kids in the house 13 years old and 15 years old.I have own 1 to 2 dogs at a time and in the past I owned cats, birds, fish. I live near shaw so military family's are welcome. Would love the opportunity to take care of your pet. I would love to have a chance to walk or run with your dog and have a fun time. WALKS MAINLY IN THE MORNINGS AND LATE AFTERNOONS. I'm off Sundays and Mondays and get off at 2:00 p.m. the other days, My wife and kids help me out if it's during the day I have a large fenced in yard to take care of your pets needs.

“She was the best!! My baby loved her and she sent plenty of pics. He came back with all his stuff and litter box cleaned!! Rates are affordable and communication is Top tier. Will book again”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kayla was the perfect sitter for my dog, Holly. She took care of her for almost two weeks while my husband and I were away, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. She sent us daily updates and photos and was always easy to get in touch with. She was also super flexible and agreed to watch Holly for an extra day at the last minute, when I realized that I had gotten the dates wrong. When I came back, Holly seemed more calm and relaxed than before I left, which is definitely an accomplishment for a one-year-old Border Collie / Cattle Dog. I'd highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for help with their pup! Thanks again, Kayla.”
“Lauren was excellent and helped us out with boarding for our dog at the last minute when our other arrangements fell through. She sent photos to reassure us all was going well. It was so nice to find someone nearby we could rely on on such short notice.”
About: Dogs are my passion.A dogs happiness is my happiness. I currently work at a dog daycare/boarding facility and I have worked with training dogs, dog sitting etc for a little over 4 years. I currently work part time, and watch, walk and welcome dogs anytime after 12 on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Your pet will be more than welcome and I’ll accommodate your pet anyway I can. I have a fenced in yard, and two amazingly friendly dogs, also I can crate your dog if you prefer. I have a large kennel, or if you prefer to bring your own. Whatever the client prefers.
“I am over pleased with Miriael. Fancy was well taken care of and learned some things about potty training that we have been working on prior to the booking. I will definitely be using her again. Also, I do think that she definitely deserves a tip, but I’m not able to leave what she deserves at the moment, but I will make it up on future bookings. Thumbs up to Miriael.”
About: Some of my skills include: - Feeding and providing fresh water for pets at appropriate times - Administering medications, if needed - Regular grooming, such as brushing and bathing - Engaging in playtime and exercise to keep pets active and happy - Cleaning litter boxes or cages - Monitoring pets' health and behavior for any signs of distress - Providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved and well-cared for. So, if you ever need a helping hand with your furry friends, count on me to provide you with pet care! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure to feed them, have playtime, potty breaks, and clean up after them. I’m always sweeping and moping. When caring for pets, whether it's in my home or my client's home, I make sure to provide them with food, water, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the owner and keep their environment clean and safe. It's all about making sure they're happy and well taken care of!
About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.
About: I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and needs. I raised my two dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Cane Corso, from puppyhood through their senior years. They were part of my family for 14 and 11 years, so I have firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life, from energetic puppies and adult dogs to seniors who need extra patience and attention. My experience with dogs actually began much earlier. Growing up, my family had a female French Poodle and a female Labrador, which also gave me experience caring for female dogs, including during their heat cycles. My Golden Retriever and Cane Corso were intact males, so I am comfortable with the additional care and management that intact dogs may require. I also have experience caring for other people's pets. While completing my master's and Ph.D. in Tallahassee, I pet sat for families with dogs of different sizes and breeds, sometimes caring for two dogs in the same household. I handled feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and companionship while their owners were away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine. Whether your dog is a puppy, an energetic adult, a large breed, or a senior, my priority is to provide patient, attentive care and make them feel safe and comfortable while they are with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible teaching schedule and am home for significant portions of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I am an experienced dog owner, and caring for dogs has been part of our daily lives for many years. I am happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, exercise, and bedtime routine so they can feel as comfortable and at home as possible while you are away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. I provide a calm, attentive home environment and will follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs, large breeds, intact dogs, and multi-dog households. I pay close attention to each dog's behavior and individual needs and will keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention.

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.

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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
