“Sabrina did two drop in visits/ walks for us while we were at work. She seemed like she bonded with Belle very well and Belle loved her. She got to give our pup the hour of a potty break and attention she needed when we couldn’t be there and we greatly appreciated that. We look forward to working with Sabrina again.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Went above and beyond for my girls and was so accommodating on some last minute requests. She helped me feel at ease with a meet and greet after a not so great rover experience elsewhere. She updated and sent pictures. We will definitely be using her as our regular!”
“Baila is great! My dog loves her! He truly seemed to be in a better mood when I got home the days she walked him. She follows directions well and was a joy to meet. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and recently, ferrets—which I’ve been having so much fun learning about! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have spent the last 10+ years caring for them. I’m comfortable handling medications, special needs, and more complex daily routines, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, plenty of playtime, or a little extra TLC, I’m ready to handle it all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work for the post office 6 days a week and with my route i’m able to get off between noon and 1pm every day. I have plenty of time in my day to help your pets feel more comfortable without their favorite humans! I do not offer service in my own home, but i’m very happy to come over to your pets home. I plan to follow every instruction and routine that the owners leave for me. It’s important for me to accommodate each pets specific needs.
About: Dogs are fascinating beings, able to express empathy, fear, love, nervousness, affection, loneliness, happiness, playfulness, trust, curiosity and caution. They are far smarter than we could understand. I understand the love people have for their dogs. As a dogs life is shorter than ours, every minute we spend away from them can feel like an eternity. It is important that we leave them on a good note, and return to them the same. They put their entire trust in us from the food we give them to the beds we make. It is crucial that we respect that trust and never misuse it. Dogs are emotionally intelligent beings and they deserve as much love as we give ourselves. I have always had a deep connection with dogs and I believe that they are family. Dogs give unconditional love and we must return the favor. Dogs can enrich our lives, as we can do the same for them. They are our family, and your dogs will be my family. I am currently retired and receiving full VA benefits, so my time is not an issue. When I am not working for uber, I am in my garden. While in the garden my three dogs are roaming with me. They get more attention than I give to myself. They sleep indoors and are spoiled, but they are behaved. They can stay home without issue for 12 hours while I’m working. The dogs are a priority and their wellbeing comes before my own. The dogs spend most of their time in the fenced in backyard. They are protected from other animals which may carry disease. I ensure that they get plenty of water and it never runs dry. They eat a limited ingredient diet once a day, with health treats given throughout the day whenever we eat. They receive prompt medical care when needed, but they haven’t been sick in 10 years.
“She did a great job getting to know our pup and his routines with a meet and greet prior to the first walking. She was communicative throughout and on time. She did a great job with him.”
“Amy was great with our huge Ridgeback. She was flexible and was able to accommodate a walk for him on Thanksgiving. I was relieved to know that he was being taken care of while I was out. Thanks, Amy!”
About: Dogs instantly trust me because I give them love, patience, and fun! I treat each one like family and make sure they get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and care. I can take care of pets 6 am to 12:00 am and on weekends. Although, I can change my work schedule whenever you need :) I prefer to take care of the pets at home, I can bathe them, comb them, feed them and take them for walks, all with more comfort in my home. You will have photos and videos all the time if you prefer.
About: This summer, I spent significant time volunteering at the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter in Gray, Louisiana, logging over 50 hours to ease the load of staff while giving rescues the best possible quality of life. I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From taking high-energy dogs long walks and runs to managing bath times and following strict sanitation protocols, I treated every pet with shelter-grade care. A highlight of my time there was leading “Doggy Day Outs,” taking adoptable dogs on community adventures. In these new environments, I paid close attention to their reactions to learn their unique likes, dislikes, and personality traits. Reading their canine body language allowed me to adapt to their needs on the fly, keeping them safe and comfortable wherever we went. Crucially, working with shelter dogs also gave me deep experience with high-energy breeds, reactive dogs, and abused or frightened rescues who require gentle handling and trust-building. Although relocation meant stepping away from shelter work, I bring those same high standards of safety, patience, and individual attention to every pet I visit. I’m currently working nights as a PRN Mental Health Technician. I make my own schedule, so my availability is flexible nearly every day of the week! In-home care is built on safety, consistency, and mutual trust. My top priorities are maintaining your pet’s familiar routine, securing the environment, and treating your home with total respect. I make sure pets are never left alone for long stretches, giving them the frequent companionship, potty breaks, and attention they need. Upon arrival, I secure all doors and gates, greet the pet calmly, and follow your explicit instructions for feeding, exercise, and meds. I pay close attention to your pet’s body language, offering patient interaction for shy animals and active engagement for high energy ones. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every visit.
About: I have been pet sitting for family and friends on and off for 10 years. I have experience watching dogs, cats, bunnies, and many more animals! I’m an honest hard worker with an attention to detail with a big passion for loving and taking care of pets. I’m currently a homemaker with some free time and would love to fill it with caring for animals. I have a very flexible schedule. I have a good attention to detail and like to follow a routine and schedule. Servicing the pets up to the standards the owner has put in place and ensuring a happy animal.
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I currently have five pets of my own—three dogs and two cats—that I’ve raised and cared for, so I understand the responsibility and attention pets need every day. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as caring for cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life because I care for my own three dogs and two rescued cats every day. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting in your home, or care for your pet in my home if that’s what works best for you. I do my best to be flexible with scheduling and will make sure your pet gets the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. I have a large yard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like one of my own and receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention. If I care for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

I know how to do doggie CPR and Heimlich but I am not certified and I plan to become certified. I will care for your dog with the most genuine love and care.

I have a large fenced in yard. I have 3 friendly dogs that will make play time and blast! If I need to crate your dog I have all size crates available to use.
“Grace was a life saver! She accepted my inquiry very last minute and did an amazing job with my pup. She arrived on time, followed instructions well, and had great communication. The multiple (very good quality photos) and visit summary gave me peace of mind while I was away and made my day. I’ll be reaching out to Grace more often in the future ☺️”
About: I have taken care of many different breeds of dogs, both large and small. When I was previously a nanny, people have relied on me to take care of both their animals and their children. In regard to taking care of the animals, I have boarded them, taken them for walks, taken them to the vet, given them medicine, fed them, played with them outside, and took them to the dog parks to interact with other dogs. I work for Greenville County and I am about to be off all summer. This will give me the availability to walk your dogs, board your dogs, and or let your dogs out to potty and feed them every day. My daughter and I are very active and we love to be outside so we can keep your dogs very active and spend time playing with them. I have a very large back yard that would give your dog(s) plenty of space to run around and play. I also have the ability to crate your dog, if necessary. Since my schedule is pretty open, I have the ability to take your dogs out for potty breaks and or feed them when they need it. Also, since my daughter and I are very active we can take your dog(s) on walks that meet their needs.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets for as long as I can remember. From baby to senior, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. I currently have a bearded dragon so I have no issue with “exotic” animals. Family friends have let me pet sit. I walk family dogs at least twice a day depending on energy levels. I’m currently working part-time so my hours aren’t as flexible, I will require a minimum for 2 1/2 weeks prior to booking a stay so that I can minimize conflict between your pets and my work schedule :) I would be capable of feeding, and walking the pets. I can clean out litter boxes or enclosures. Play time so that the pet could release some energy. I could put the animal in a crate if it’s required after a certain time.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10, when I lived with my parents we had five dogs. I would feed them, play with them and take them to the bathroom every 2 hours. I love animals they always brighten my day even if I'm down. I do not currently have a job, I'm working on starting my small business up, so i will have the flexibility of a schedule to take care of your fur babies. I enjoy being around animals, they always brighten my day. I will make sure to make them feel loved. If you have a backyard, I can run around with them and make sure there fed and make sure they're taken out to use the bathroom as often as they need.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apalache
Our doggo barks a lot and loudly, especially with people she has never met before in her territory. So walks are very short during the first time. She did bark at Kate but Kate was able to walk her without any issues. Kate was communicative, prompt, and friendly. Will definitely use her again.
