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.

“Lashika was great. I had reached out months before I needed her, we kept in touch and had our meet and greet shortly before our cruise. She took great care of our boys for almost 2 weeks. She sent pictures and kept us up to date on them. Needless to say we were excited to see them when we got home but we were able to relax on our cruise knowing Lashika was taking excellent care of them. Thanks so much for everything ?

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!
Kathy is absolutely AMAZING. First, she took my dog with only hours notice. Second, my dog has historically been aggressive with other dogs. Kathy had her running outside and playing with a bunch of other dogs. Finally, I am going through an incredibly tough time personally which led to me needing a sitter and she was so kind and supportive to me. And while my dog was with her, I never had to worry about her once. She sent pictures and videos and kept me updated frequently. I can’t begin to thank Kathy enough for her compassionate and loving care of my sweet pup ❤️
This was my first time using rover.com and the experience was exceptionally good.. Michelle, Daniel and their family were very friendly and warm and made me at ease about leaving My Puppy in their care.. also going above and beyond to try to get my pup to eat being that he was out of his norm.. I will definitely use the service again and hope that Michelle is available.
Nikki did an amazing job with our girl Esmae! Not only did she take amazing care of her, she kept us in the loop with pictures and videos of how she was doing while we were away. She was very fast to respond when I first reached out. She even taught Esmae how to play fetch. She didn't JUST watch her she loved on her and made her feel welcomed and comfortable. She took her on walks and had play time in the backyard, and cuddled time before bed. Thank you again Nikki!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in West Columbia on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 381 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Columbia. About 94% 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.
