Although our mutts exhibited anxiety with Whitney's huskies during our meet and greet, her experience with dogs kicked in and she managed to keep all of them comfortable together. She was very flexible and prompt with our scheduling, and sent daily photo updates. We will definitely use her services again.

OMG Nontombe was EVERYTHING I could want and need in a sitter! After dropping my son (dog) off I knew he was in good hands. He could feel her wonderful spirit and I can tell that he thoroughly enjoyed himself. She kept us updated with pics, videos, and messages! I will definitely use Nontombe again!! 10 out of 10 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! She’s the best…..literally!!

Veronica and her family are the best that I can ask for to take care of our dog, Kora. They did a fantastic job to help Kora come out her shell in a short time during her boarding with them. I got lots of photos and updates to see Kora got spoiled with lots of home made treats, walks, cuddles and play time. I will ask Veronica again if kora needs a sitter again!

I was very nervous at first . I’ve never left my pup with anyone and overnight at that. But Halley was super nice and very responsive. I could tell Bailey enjoyed her time there she was so tired when we got home lol I’d definitely book again.

Kelly is a fantastic dog-sitter! He seemed to be genuinely excited, prepared, and eager to keep my sweet, but anxious little girl Rascal. One could see his love for dogs... upon the "meet & greet." He was made aware of a recent past medical problem, and of her disinterest in eating. He provided me with suggestions and tackled the problem head on during her 5 day stay with him. He kept me informed at least twice daily of her progress...including...her eating status, walking, and socialization/interaction with customers that visited his shop. He responded to my concerns promptly and to Rascal's comfort. She was taken great care of by Kelly on a one to one basis! (At the shop during the day, and his home at night) One could not ask for a better service! He...is the only reason I could feel comfortable leaving for a short time, without over-worrying about Rascal. I will definitely use him again!!! Thank you for all that you do Kelly!!!

Eileen is the greatest. Of course I mean all the usual stuff like great communication and great space/yard for my dog. But when I say she is the greatest, I am referring to her absolute love of dogs….. and that includes my dog. She sent me pictures and videos that warmed my heart each day I was away from him. He was so content, playful, and happy that I was almost jealous. It’s not just dogs she lives…..she loved my dog and it showed. I highly recommend Eilleen because you will be grateful and happy. Fergus and I are going back.

Wendy is outstanding! She was able to take my Rosie at almost literally the last minute when I needed a sitter with no other dogs. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Best of all, she walked Rosie 30 - 40 minutes at least twice a day, not including little jaunts down a few houses. Rosie is extra spoiled now! I definitely recommend Wendy and look forward to taking Rosie to see her again!

Jessica was just amazing! My dog loved her and her fur babies!! She was exactly the perfect fit for my older sometimes grumpy girl. Jessica was easy to communicate with in the app. and very responsive. Overall, the best experience and I felt she far exceeded my expectations as this was my first Rover pet experience. Highly recommend her!!

Texana is absolutely WONDERFUL! I had to find a sitter for my bf’s dog, Nova on short notice while traveling for an event and she was so great! I appreciate her taking a last minute booking! It was great that she kept me updated the whole time with texts and pictures. She’s very sweet, helpful, and communicates well! My bf and I are in agreement that there’s no doubt she’d our first choice to let her watch Nova again! We highly recommend her!

Caroline took great care of our dog, Alli, who is a 15-year-old hound mix. She sent me a lot of pictures and my dog did not look like she missed us at all. She has a great set-up in her home and it was very clean. She is also located very close to I-77. If we are in Columbia for another Gamecock football game, we would not hesitate to call Caroline. I highly recommend her.

Sandra was amazing and took a last minute in-home boarding for an emergency situation. She went above and beyond during my dog's stay, and took care of giving him several complicated medications and handled some special eating requirements. She's a total pro. Her home and yard and safe and comfortable, and I could tell he was happy to be there with her:)! Thank you SO very much, and I hope we can visit again!

This is our second time staying with Jud and Nicole, and they are absolutely AMAZING! They are such patient, friendly, dog-loving people, and your dog will no doubt have a vacation of their own! My dog is very hyper, and they handle her so well, and always send lots of pictures and updates. Stay with them if you can!!!!

Assatta was amazing!! She kept me informed with daily texts, pictures and videos of how Joonie was doing each day. She has a dog already and it was great to see that my dog meshed well with hers. It was clear from the updates she sent each day that our dogs became “besties” instantly. I am thoroughly pleased with the care that Assatta provided for Joonie. She informed me that she would be willing to watch my dog anytime and I certainly plan on using her again in the future. It was clear that Joonie had the time of his life in Assatta’s care, he came home and instantly went to sleep because he was worn out from having so much fun. Thank you so much Assatta for treating him like your own! ☺️
