“Kim was fabulous!! She sent photos and daily updates. Our cat usually hides for days but came right out for Kim and snuggled and stayed close. Our home was so well taken care of that we were able to get back and enjoy being home! We hope this is a win win win for all parties and plan to reach out again!”
About: I've volunteered with Greenville County Animal Care since I was 10. I cleaned kennels, walked dogs, took dogs on trips, and helped get dogs adopted. I've also had dogs my entire life, including Pitbulls, Boston Terriers, Chihuahuas, and Jack Russels, and have taken care of them from puppy to senior age. I would love to walk your dog and help them get some exercise or take them on a trip somewhere! I have experience training my dog to do agility and numerous tricks, so I can help you with training as well. I have availability to walk dogs between 5-7PM every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I have availability to do morning house visits at 9-950AM every weekday and evening house visits 5-7PM on Sunday-Thursday. On Fridays I can do afternoon house visits at 220-320PM. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, my neighborhood, a park, or take them hiking, depending on what you prefer! I can also visit your home and feed your dog, play with them, and let them outside.
About: I truly love spending time with all kinds of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their animals. I know that dogs need their exercise and outdoor time, while cats might need a clean litter box and some interactive toy play. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy or your cat needs some gentle chin scratches, I am reliable, attentive, and will always send plenty of photo updates! I currently work morning and occasional afternoon shifts, typically from 5 AM–1 PM or 12 PM–5 PM. My schedule still allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care. Outside of my work hours, I am available for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care, companionship, and attention they need while you’re away. I strictly follow all security and care instructions to keep your pets and property safe. I am a highly responsible and communicative sitter. I'll send you frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing while you're away.
“Sara was great with our two kitties. She sent pictures for every visit and we could see that the kitties were very happy with her too. Thanks Sara. We'll need you again soon.”
“Sandy was an answer to prayer. She was so loving and caring she won over my very anxious cat after one day. He began to approach her and was friendly with her as he began to trust and feel safe. I would highly recommend Sandy.”
“Irma was great with our kitties. We needed someone last minute, and our little boy Dexter was having some health issues so we were very nervous. Irma took very good care of them while we were gone and was ready to take Dexter to the vet if he needed to be taken. She was very good about giving him his medicine and tracking his food intake and everything. Highly recommend!!!”
About: Years of experience in housepet and farm care, ranging from the biggest horse to the smallest fish. I was employed with Happy Tails Petsitting before moving out here to Lyman, where I sent clients updates every visit. Currently unemployed, will update if necessary. Animal care is my specialty, and employment options are pretty limited to me. Recommendations are much appreciated for top of the line care for others! I focus on feeding, medications, and play time for housepets, and farm animals as well. Just hit me with a list of instructions and I'll be all set!
“Isabella was a terrific choice to care for our five cats. We appreciated her efforts to ensure our more shy, older cats were fed, while our younger cats devoured their dinner. She definitely met all of our cat sitting needs while we were away from home. We would gladly have Isabella return.”
About: I grew up around animals my whole life, both dogs and cats. I currently have a dog and a cat in my household. Let me love and care for your pets like I do my own. I can bathe, feed, and walk your pets. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood that I walk my personal dog in all the time. I am available currently on Sundays and Mondays. All day. I make my dog food from scratch because he has sensitive skin. We walk our dog daily and both pets get bathed regularly when needed, even the cat. 😉 I have a clean home with both of my pets that are inside pets. My services would provide cleaning up after and caring for your pets in your home. I also have a lock in place leash I use to walk my dog that is built for strong, large dogs.

“Jana was fantastic this week. So thankful I found her on Rover. Great communication and the photos look like the kitties were happy to see her on each visit. Thank you for your patience with Charlie. I was relieved knowing Charlie was getting his daily medication with no issue.”
“We trusted Keery with our home and little cat while we were abroad and she was really great. She was responsable and very gentle with our cat as the little fur ball has some trust issues with humans xD she kept us updated with pictures and videos and we felt assured while we were not home. Thanks Keery :)”
“Sandi was great with the cats. They warmed up to her right away. She's dependable and trustworthy. She sent me pictures and video's of my furbabies and was consistent. Highly recommend.”

I had a short amount of time before 2 weeks of travel and Alex was close to my place and willing to help me out. She did an amazing job of looking after Gozer, and even stopped by before my I left to see where I keep everything at my house. 10/10 will book again
Absolutely wonderful! Truly one of the best cat sitters I've ever had, super friendly and responsive - and the cats warmed to her quickly which is a big deal for them! Pets always have a sense of these things. I'm really glad she was able to look over them, I didn't have to worry at all about being gone for a few days. I also booked super last minute and she was really nice about it. Totally recommend!
Elizabeth did an absolute amazing job taking care of my cat! She did exactly what was needed. She truly cared for my cat and gave more than what was asked every time! She updated me with lots pics and was very much in touch with me with any questions and updates. I would highly recommend her to anybody!!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
