“I’m so grateful for Christina and Ricky. My pet is treated with so much love and attention—just like family! I received updates and photos, and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I would absolutely book them again because when I’m on vacation, so is my baby!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dustin and Abby truly love dogs and our Teddy did great with them. They sent us so many fun photos and updates and made the whole experience very comfortable. We will absolutely use them again!”
“My family and I were going away for an extended period of time and needed a sitter for our doggy while we were away. I checked out some Rover options and decided on a sitter and she quickly accepted my request. I went to her house to visit prior to leaving my dog with her, and she and her husband were very welcoming opening their home to me to show me where my doggy would be housed for the extended period of time. That made me feel very comfortable leaving her there under their care in that as most of you know, our doggies are like our children and that’s most definitely the way we feel about our dog. Mary and her husband took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and I could tell that she was being loved and that she was comfortable and happy throughout the stay which made me feel very good and at ease during our trip, Thank you Mary for taking such great care of our dog, and I would highly recommend her to other dog owners looking for someone that is compassionate about dogs snd has a beautiful home that is very well suited for pets to be really comfortable and safe.”
“Margery (and her pup Chica) are the absolute best!! My dog stayed with them for 8 days, the longest I had ever been away from her. I felt no mom guilt, I knew she was having the best time while I was gone! Margery sent pictures and updates every day, which I absolutely loved. And I could tell she treated my little lady as one of her own. I highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”
About: I have an 11 year old rescued and very mellow plott hound dog. I have been watching friends dogs for over 5 years and have no issues with any type of dog in my past experiences. I work from home so I am able to take your dog to the bathroom and walks to unity park throughout the day. Your dog will be in good hands and it will be an enjoyable day for them I work from home and will have a relative easy way to drop off your pet. Your pet will go on at least 2 walks per day and go outside to the bathroom at least 3-4 times a day and more if needed. I have one dog and we will be in an apartment by ourselves. Have plenty of room for 1-2 additional dogs. I can communicate at mostly anytime of the day if any issues arise. Your pet will have a safe space inside and I do have an enclosed balcony if they would like to sunbathe.
“Jaylin and Charles took great care of our Haru! They are very organized with play and potty times. Additionally, they did a great job with sharing video updates of our dog. Seeing our dog (Haru) being happy and also playful with other dogs gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation. My wife and I greatly appreciated your service and we will certainly bring our Haru back to you the next time we go on vacation!”
“Fabienne was fantastic with my Ginny girl! She sent lots of updates and pictures so I could follow along. Very good communication and she is very sweet and caring. Will definitely use again!!”
“Heather was amazing! Our dog Sport had the best time while we were away for a week! Heather was a blessing to our family! She sent us daily updates with pictures and she was very loving to Sport, he also had a great time with the other dogs, which were very nice! Heather is great at her job, we are thankful we booked with her for the first time, and we will do it again!!! We recommend her 100% 👍 The Barnes family”
“Raquel took such good care of our two dogs. They are rescues who need extra attention and lots of human contact. She made an effort to get to know our dogs and they had such a positive experience in her care. We’re excited to book her services again in the near future. Thank you, Raquel”
“I am so glad I found the perfect sitter for my puppy Koji. Karson is super nice and his family is adorable. I can see that Koji had a blast during his stay and Im so happy that he had the opportunity to socialize with another dogs. That helped Koji so much with his behavior. I will for sure coming back”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I truly have a passion for animals, and all pups have my heart! I have 3 dogs of my own, Bear, Leon, and Cowboy! They are super friendly and get along well with other dogs + they love to play. My husband and i both work from home! We will be able to spend plenty of time with your fur baby + we have a big fenced in backyard for them to play! Your baby will be safe in my home and will get treated like family. My dogs live like kings and roam freely. They like to nap on the couch or in the dog beds, they go outside to play several times a day, have lots of play time with toys in and outside, and they also love treats!
“Pete (James) & Sofia were great! They watched my yorkipoo for 10+ days and treated him like a family member. The integrated him into their daily routine - he "supervised" work from his favorite cushion, played endless rounds of fetch with his teddy, and went on adventures to Unity Park and the Swamp Rabbit Trail. He even became walking buddies with their cat, Motley, and got to tag along for errands to Lowe's and road trip adventures. Strong communication. Pete sent daily updates with Christmas-card-worthy photos. When my dog ran just a couple of meals short on his specialty kibble, Pete went above and beyond by researching safe, poultry-free grocery store alternatives and picking them up seamlessly. They learned all his little quirks, from his morning routine of waking up for tummy rubs to snuggling under his blanket. I had total peace of mind and cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“Ann and Tom were great. The pictures and movies showed that our pup was quickly out at ease and felt very comfortable there. They took very good care of her and communicated with me regularly.”
“Skylar made me feel so comfortable leaving my puppy for the first time! She sent daily pics, and was very easy to contact and communicate with. Maisie didn’t show any signs of being stressed or anxious when she got home, so I know she had a great time staying with Skyler and playing with Balou!”
“We found a winner!!!! It is always hard to leave a 4 legged family member behind with someone for the first time. Lauren was amazing! She sent me pictures and updates every day like clockwork! It made me feel so much better about leaving Tango with her. I think he had more fun that we did. He loves to play with other dogs and having him worn out when we come home is always the goal. You can tell Lauren really loves dogs. He was in good hands.We will definitely be back.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 7 years old and begged my parents for my first dog. We love all animals in our family. Walks, feeding, playtime and baths are no problems in our house. I currently working part -time. I live very closes to my job and can leave at any time to check on your pet. If your pet is crate trained feel free to bring their crate and I will make sure to continue with the training. I live in a larger 2 bedroom apartment. There is a dog park if you believe your dog would enjoy that I have no problem taking them. We have walking trails for me to take your dog on walk.
“Angela was fabulous, and someone I’m genuinely glad my family met! She took great care of S’mores & sent pictures and videos. When we picked up our dog, my daughter said that you could tell our S’mores was ready to see us but also sad to leave. Angela was kind to my children too. She went above and beyond. We would definitely ask her to keep S’mores again in the future.”
“Britney and her family took such excellent care of our dog! They were attentive & responsive and sent us many photos and updates throughout the week. I know my dog enjoyed his time with them. We look forward to rover-ing with them again (and again)!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Welcome
Dustin & Abby were absolutely wonderful with Daisy Mae! 🐾❤️ She settled in beautifully, was clearly comfortable and well cared for, and came home happy as could be. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
James and Sophia were excellent paw-rents while my husband and I were gone for 8 days! They made our nervous little pup feel right at home and put my mind to ease! James gave very considerate and thoughtful updates that made us laugh and we could tell our pup was doing just fine. Highly reccomend them and will be using them as our main sitter moving forward! Copper loved them!
Alyssa took great care of my dogs. I left my two dogs with Alyssa overnight while I went out of town. A few days before, we did a meet & greet to make sure my dogs were friendly with her dog. During their stay, She sent me updates and photos of my dogs which I appreciated. Everything went very well, and I highly recommend Alyssa.
Erika and Dean did beyond incredible with Ash! This was our first time having anyone watch Ash that wasn’t our family, so naturally we were a little nervous. They put us at ease and I truly felt like they treated Ash like their own. Ash felt right at home, and we’re so grateful to have found them!
Regan was wonderful with our dog, Paisley! She was incredibly accommodating to Paisley’s needs and kept us in the loop with daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt confident knowing Paisley was in great hands. We’d definitely book with Regan again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Welcome 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 Welcome.
<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 Welcome 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.
