About: I have walked dogs and puppy sat in my childhood neighborhood as well as volunteered to walk dogs at APS of Durham. I also have a sweet, loving dog of my own who I’ve had and taken care of for over seven years. She has anxiety so I am very familiar with dogs who are shy or scared of humans. I am a student at Anderson University and am looking for a way to make some extra money and get a short break from studying by taking care of your wonderful dog(s)! I live in a dorm room on campus so am not allowed to have dogs over, but would love to come to your place and take care of your pet there!
“Maddie was able to help us out last minute and take our dog for a walk. She was on time and had excellent communication. She greeted Pepper and made Pepper feel comfortable. Our dog is a large dog and very strong and Maddie had no problem walking her. Pepper enjoyed her walk and was very tired afterwards! I would definitely contact Maddie again to walk our dog.”
About: I have worked in rescues on and off for the last 10 years. I have also been a private pet sitter for the last 7! I am currently a stay at home mom but have great flexibility with both kids in school. I am also available for early morning and evening walks for those who may work night shift. I have a fenced in back yard and a living fur baby to help keep your dog company. However if you prefer I also have space to keep them separate and still love on your fur baby while they’re in my care!
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I’d first discovered them as a young child, it never mattered the type or size, I’ve always been drawn to them. I grew up in the PNW where I spent many years in 4-H, showing horses and participating in our local county fair. Last year we took the leap and moved to South Carolina with our 2 senior dogs, 4 cats, and bearded dragon, and have been loving how beautiful it is. Since our move, we have acquired 3 more cats that were picked up as strays, bringing our total to a whopping 7 cats! I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and energy levels of dogs, as well as behavioral issues. One of senior dogs struggles with reactivity while on leash, and I make it a point to make sure he is always comfortable and safe while out. I also specialize in pets with special needs who may require a little extra attention and care. One of the kittens we took in is completely blind, amongst other things, and had required daily medication at times. She also suffers from behavioral issues which is why I’m so adamant on being patient with animals. They are learning every day, just as we are. If given the opportunity, I promise to treat your animals as I do my own, with love and grace. I’ve been blessed enough to have a very open schedule and can pretty much fit any time a pet may need into my day. Whether it be weekdays or weekends, I’m flexible and have reliable transportation. The safety and comfort of your pets are my top priority and I plan to treat them the way I treat my own. I’m very mindful of securing doors and fences to insure your babies are safe and secure where they are supposed to be. I speak to all animals the way I would speak to a friend because I believe, while they may not be able to understand all the words, they can understand tone and intention.
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
“Olivia is so good with our dog Remi! She’s friendly and understanding, very flexible with scheduling and helpful! We trust her completely with our fur baby. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have experience with all sizes of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Great Pyrenees as well as both indoor and outdoor cats. I also have experience with different temperaments, such as fearful, hyper, or dominant animals. I am a stay-at-home mom with a newborn, so my schedule is very flexible and I would love the chance to play with your fur babies! I make sure your fur babies are comfortable and all their needs are met, as well as taking care when entering your home to ensure any escape attempts are unsuccessful!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. At 13, I started a neighborhood dog-walking business for owners who were “too pooped to walk their dogs,” which quickly grew into in-home and overnight dog sitting. I got my first dog at age ten and trained her myself, and I’ve since attended multiple dog training classes because I genuinely enjoy working with dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for labs, golden doodles, pit bulls, and more for families that I have worked with through high school and college. Now that I have my own home (next to a park) I’m excited to start again with plenty of space, structure, and love for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an emergency nurse and work every Monday and Tuesday and every other weekend, which gives me most weekdays free and flexible for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. On my off days, I enjoy staying active with walking, running, and hiking, and I love including dogs in those activities for both exercise and enrichment. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives consistent attention, timely care, and plenty of love. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As an emergency nurse, I have strong medical training and stay calm and attentive in all situations, including emergencies. I closely follow pet parents’ instructions and routines in both my home and theirs, ensuring a low-stress, loving environment. I provide supervised play, secure walks, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Living next to a park gives dogs safe space to explore, exercise, and enjoy structured outdoor time while always being carefully monitored.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I am also the co-founder of a rescue and have experience with the care of the dogs in our rescue. I also have 4 dogs of my own. I am currently retired , so my schedule is flexible. I can spend time with your pet to play, take for a walk, or just hang out with. I’m also available to feed your pet if needed. I have experience with a variety of different dogs, and am able to handle large or small dogs. I love to bond with them to earn their trust.
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have always had pets in my household. At one point, I lived in a home with 12 dogs and 2 cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets, different personalities, and different breeds. I currently have a 2-year-old Standard Poodle of my own who is very loved and well cared for. I am also a mom of three, a nursing student, and a business owner, so I am responsible, organized, dependable, and used to managing a busy schedule. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I make my own work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet walks, drop-ins, and sittings into my routine. I’m also currently in nursing school, so I only work part-time. This allows me to plan my schedule around both school and pet care, making sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. For the Safety, Trust & Environment section, you could put: I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I’m very attentive and will treat your pet like one of my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m also respectful of their space and make sure everything is secure before I leave.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my whole life! My current pet, Gus, is a pomeranian-bichon. Im experienced in dog sitting and training. Fun fact, i’ve also had fancy mice before! I’d love to ease your mind and give your babies the care they need when you’re unable to. I am working Part-Time, so on days that I work, i can be available before 10, and after 7:30. On days when I’m off, I can do anytime! I have a fenced in yard that accommodates my 3 dogs here at home. We also take care of several strays in the neighborhood that have a little sanctuary on the front porch.
“Graham has been awesome with my dog and has been so flexible and easy to work with. She does a wonderful job playing and walking Annie. She’s also great at staying in touch with me about how each walk goes with pictures!”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, I’ve had multiple dogs and have provided pet sitting services for countless dogs and cats over the years. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. The most I’ve cared for at one time is two dogs and two cats, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets while ensuring each one receives the care and attention they deserve. I genuinely love animals and have the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for your pets while you’re away. Over the next few months, I’ll be out of school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to accommodate your pet care needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep a clean environment, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up with pets ever since i was born! I currently have two cats and one dog that i love so deeply! I can take dogs out for walks or play with them outside and entertain the cats or simply just stay with them while they relax. I’m currently in Anderson for college and would love to take care of your animal! I have availability throughout the weekdays and selective availability on the weekends! My pets at my house are cared for so deeply and I promise to care for yours just the same! I would ensure safety all the time when walking or watching your animal(s).
About: I adore all animals. Since I was a child animals have felt safe and protected around me. It's a special and pure love that we as humans don't always deserve! I'm a reliable, caring and trustworthy animal lover with a flexible schedule. I will always do my best to make your fur baby my priority! I treat animals as if they're children. They get the same love, care and patience that you would give a child. Even moreso, actually. Trust and respect are vital in a human and animal relationship.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Anderson. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Anderson.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anderson. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
