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.

About: Hi, I’m Erica! As a military spouse and lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to find safe, reliable, and loving care when you're away. I provide exclusive, one-family-at-a-time boarding, so your dog(s) will receive my full attention in a calm, personalized environment. Dogs in my care enjoy supervised, free roam of our home and daily play in our large, fully fenced yard, along with plenty of affection and enrichment. I have two friendly resident dogs: Leela, a sweet 6-year-old Lab mix, and a playful 8-month-old Lab puppy. Together, we go on daily walks and enjoy lots of backyard fun. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds and completed multiple training courses, so I’m confident handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. Starting June 1, I’ll be offering boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks full-time from my home in Dalzell, SC. In May, I’m available evenings and weekends. I also have base access for drop-ins, pick-ups, and walks—just 10 minutes from the back gate. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. My own dogs are on a consistent routine that includes daily walks, playtime in our large fenced backyard, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. I’m used to adjusting our schedule to meet the needs of the pets in my care—whether it’s administering medications, sticking to a feeding schedule, or making sure high-energy pups get lots of exercise. Starting in June, pet care will be my full-time focus, and I’m excited to welcome dogs into our home as part of our daily routine! When caring for pets in my home, they become part of our family. Dogs have full access to the home and our large fenced backyard for play, potty breaks, and relaxation throughout the day. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—whether that’s meal times, walk schedules, or bedtime habits. We go on daily walks and have lots of playtime and affection to keep them happy, calm, and engaged. If I’m visiting a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. I ensure pets are safe, well-fed, exercised, and comforted during each visit. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, or send regular updates with photos and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I spent over two years managing a dog training facility, so I really understand how to make pups feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m also Dog CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority. What really makes my boarding special is that your dog isn’t just a guest — they become part of a warm, nurturing family. From playtime and cuddles to cozy naps, your pup will feel right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work outside the house for only about two hours a day, so I’m home the majority of the time to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m available all weekdays and stay flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups to make things easy for you. Whether it’s morning walks, cuddle breaks, or evening playtime, I make sure every dog feels cared for and part of the family all day long. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family! I have a big fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies, plus another friendly dog who loves making new friends. Our two little ones adore helping with gentle pets and belly rubs — it’s truly a home full of love. Everyone’s safety always comes first, so if a pup prefers quiet time or needs their own space, I make sure they have a comfy, peaceful spot to relax. Your dog will feel right at home with plenty of love, care, and family fun every day.
About: I worked for 4 years as a med tech and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I have a lot of experience giving medicine and fluids if your dog needs any special care. I currently have 5 very well behaved pups that love to play with everyone. I also have experience with other types of animals including reptiles and amphibians. I have always loved caring for animals and enjoy giving them as much attention as I can. I live in a more rural area with a big yard that is fenced. I go running with my youngest dog everyday and love going out and exercising with the pups. All my animals are treated like my children and I give them everything they want. Thanks for considering me, I'm sure I will make your pets feel like one of my own! I work part time helping out with a dog daycare a few days a week and the rest of my time is spent at home with the pups! I have 2 fenced areas to be able to separate any dogs that may need to be and multiple indoor areas for them. If they are used to being crated at night/when you’re out just let me know. I have large crates for them if they do or plenty of beds and if they don’t!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Sumter commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
