“Lyndsay and Charlyn took such wonderful care of my puppy. They took him out every 2 hours and made sure he was happy during his day! I also loved how they kept me informed about Lulu and sent me the most adorable pictures of him! Next time I go to Columbia I will definitely have him stay with them again!! Thanks again for everything”
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“I could tell our two cockapoos were treated like family members and weren’t clingy after I brought them home. I loved that Becky kept us updated and took such wonderful care of the kids.”
“Michael did a great job caring for Boots. He was easy to communicate with and provided frequent updates while boarding him for the few days I was in town. Michael also was flexible and able to watch Boots an additional night when my apartment hunting took longer than expected. I will definitely be contacting Michael for my future dog care needs when I relocate to the area!”
“Kathy was terrific with our pit bull. He's super friendly with people, but sometimes needs a minute to warm up to dogs. Kathy did a wonderful job letting him get adjusted to her animals. He made great friends, got tons of playtime, and lots of love! She also sent us daily texts with pics and videos. Would absolutely board with Kathy again.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. My cat Chanel has been with me for 5 years and my cocker spaniel Bentley for 1 year. I’ll treat your pets like my own with plenty of walks, cuddles, and love. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your fur babies and I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am able to go home throughout the day and check on your pet if I’m not already home. I am usually home all weekend and if not then your pet is welcome to join my activities! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment community with three dog parks, giving plenty of safe space to run and play. I’ll always keep a close eye on them, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for in a secure environment.
“Qais did an outstanding job caring for my senior dog, Sly. At 16 years old, Sly is a sweet, reserved, go-with-the-flow gentleman who prefers naps, treats, and taking life at a slower pace. Like many geriatric dogs, Sly has a few age-related challenges and requires a little extra patience, attention, and understanding. From the moment I met him, I felt comfortable leaving my dog in his care. Throughout the stay, my dog was well fed, comfortable, and given plenty of affection. I especially appreciated the communication. Regular pictures and videos gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was reassuring to see Sly relaxed, comfortable, and clearly being well cared for. I had a few last-minute changes to my boarding request and ended up being a little late both dropping Sly off and picking him up. Despite the inconvenience, he was understanding and accommodating. His flexibility and professionalism were greatly appreciated. The environment was warm, welcoming, and stress-free, exactly what an older dog needs. It was clear that Sly was being treated like a member of the family rather than simply being boarded. I would not hesitate to recommend Qais to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Caring for a senior dog can require extra effort, and he handled it with kindness and genuine care. I will certainly reach out again whenever I need accommodations for my dog.”
“Gina was AMAZING. This was my first time leaving Benji with a sitter but Gina quickly calmed my nerves. She sent pictures of Benji doing various activities and one of his favorites was cuddling with her. I 10/10 recommend for your fur baby needs when you need to be away but want them to still feel loved!”
“Shannon was great! She kept us updated daily and quick to respond. Her and her fur babies treated my pup like he was part of the family and I came home to a happy tired dog. Will definitely use again!”
“Assatta was amazing I am so grateful for her! She treated my dog like her own and that's all I ask for. She made sure to keep me updated with videos and pictures. I will definitely be booking again!”
“This was my dog Wyatt’s first overnight experience with someone other than a family member, and I’m so glad it was with Katelyn. My somewhat anxious boy was instantly at ease in Katelyn’s comfortable home, and quickly warmed up to her, her daughter, and their dog Poky. Katelyn is very very warm and responsive, and kept us up to date with frequent text messages and photos. Wyatt had the time of his life! I would definitely entrust him to her care again in future!”
“Lindsey and Aaron are our go to dog sitters! They’re always so happy to watch our dog and she loves going to their house! We get lots of updates while we’re gone and I know she is well-loved and taken care of. She gets along great with their sweet dogs and always returns happy once we can finally convince her to come back home with us. I highly recommend you book Lindsay and Aaron the next time you need a dog sitter!”
“When I say she is a great dog sitter, I really mean it! She is a great dog sitter! She sent regular photos and updates throughout my dog’s stay. She loves animals and has a wonderful demeanor, spirit, and personality. I highly recommend her for any dog services that she offers.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in West Columbia is $38

She was wonderful with Spike! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for while we were away. Her 3-year-old absolutely loved him, which was one of the sweetest parts of the whole experience. Spike was a little shy about eating at first, so she actually hand-fed him his breakfast until he felt comfortable enough to eat. That told me everything I needed to know about how loved and cared for he was while we were gone. Spike came home happy and clearly very comfortable with his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to keep him. Highly recommend!
Kathy was so great with our dog! He rarely goes anywhere without us and can be pretty anxious, but she was incredibly patient and caring with him. She really went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, giving him treats and even letting him cuddle up on her bed. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. We really appreciate all the kindness and attention she gave him and would absolutely trust her with him again! ❤️

Nikki was great, she took our couch tiger for walks and sent pictures daily. She seems very capable of taking great care of the 4 legged loved ones. We would seek to have her keep our pup in the future if the need arises. Thanks, for a much better environment than a boarding kennel.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kasey! From the moment I left my fur baby in her care, I knew he was in great hands. She followed all of his feeding instructions perfectly, made sure he received his medication as directed, and went above and beyond to provide the love and attention he needed. What impressed me most was how Kasey treated him as if he were part of her own family. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and happiness, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Kasey was also incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, making me feel connected and completely stress-free knowing my pup was being so well cared for. The level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication she showed exceeded all of my expectations. I came home to a happy, healthy, and well-loved dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Kasey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to care for their pets. She is truly exceptional!
Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with our 1 1/2 year old bernedoodle, Wren. She treated her like one of her own and even took her to our local dog park (that we are also members of) for extra outside play with other dogs. She sent lots of pictures and videos, was super responsive and communicated throughout our time away. Wren was super happy and playful when we picked her up which is a testament to how comfortable and well taken care of while we were away! We hope to have Charlotte care for her again the next time we’re away.
Katelyn and her family were WONDERFUL! Her toddler was so gentle with Scout & Sadie and they loved her. Katelyn spoiled my babies with lots of play time outside and petting. I loved getting photo and video updates from her. She has a big, safe backyard for playing and she was so kind and gentle with them. We will DEFINITELY use Katelyn in the future.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in West Columbia on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 391 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Columbia. About 93% of West Columbia sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
