“What a great experience! Kimberly was so fantastic. She responded quickly to our request, came to the house the week before to meet our dogs and go over instructions. She arrived on time, took great care of our dogs and our home and kept us updated with pictures and videos. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend! You can tell that she truly does love animals for which we are very grateful!”

“Zia was the perfect sitter for my pup! I will be using her on a regular basis as I work out of town a lot. She left my home cleaner than when I left, she gave me regular updates and pictures and my pup absolutely adored her! 5+ stars!”

“Alexis was amazing! She kept me updated on my pup, she was respectful of our home and she even left us flowers and did the laundry!!! I would recommend her to everyone!!!! Thank you Alexis, we appreciate you so much!”

“Jan was marvelous! Prompt, notified me how my little one was doing, hand off to a friend went great, all went great. Im not back yet so thats all to report now. I would definately have her watchmy house and Bree again!”

“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”

“Mikayla watched our two smaller dogs for 7 days (in our home). She was a pleasure to work with and kept us up-to-date on the boys during our vacation by sending us several texts and pictures throughout the duration. We would highly recommend Mikayla if you're thinking of having someone watch your pets (family). Thanks again, Mikayla!”

“Mehlayne made herself available last minute to take care of our little Lupo. She was punctual, kind, respectful, and communicative while we were away. She followed all of our care instructions etc. etc. It is obvious that Lupo was restless while we were gone (because he’s passed out now) but Mehlayne said she tried very hard to make Lupo comfortable. We would certainly consider hiring her in the future.”

“Justin was great! He watched our two boys on back to back weekends. He was a great communicator and kept us updated and threw in some cute pictures too! Seemed liked our boys were comfortable with him and as a pet parent that is all we could ask for!”

“Katherine was responsive and attentive to our animals and house needs. She was great at communicating updates and handling unexpected circumstances. I will gladly request her services again.”

“I can’t rave enough about Ted (and Sarah). Our recent trip was over the snowstorm which left us randomly delayed for another day. Ted and Sarah rallied and made this random challenge borderline care free. I simply can’t brag on the two of them enough. They are not only trusted house and hound sitters they are an answered prayer!”

“Carlee was amazing! I hope to hire her again in the future. Our pups LOVED her and she did such a great job updating us about them, how they were doing, and sending pictures. It gave us such peace of mind to have someone watching them where they were comfortable.”

“Irma took great care of my dog, house, and plants while I was gone for a long weekend. She checked in often and sent plenty of pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house and will definitely be using her again!”


“Kerstin was precious. I had never left my pets with anyone other than family so I was incredibly nervous. Kerstin just put us at ease. The pets loved her. She was very respectful of our home and treated the pets with such kindness. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: Animals have always warmed up to me naturally. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel comfortable, understood, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day while keeping their routines comfortable and stress-free. I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine consistent, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment.
“We were so pleased with Mariaisabel. She took such great care of our senior pup, who needs a little extra TLC and attention. She provided great updates and we came home to a happy pup and a home that looked untouched. Would highly recommend her dog sitting services.”
“Carolyn did a wonderful job house sitting our pup. It is obvious she loves animals and relates to them. She sent pictures and videos for ou piece of mind as this was our first time using a pet sitter. Will def use Carolyn again.”

“I just moved to South Carolina a month ago and had to be away a couple of days this past weekend. I was quite anxious having to find someone to stay in my home and take care of my sweet, Nala. She is older, is a rescue, is a large dog, and the move was alot for her. I arranged a meet with Jerry and I was at ease right away; more importantly, Nala was at ease right away. I think dogs sense immediately if a person is a good fit or not. The day I had to leave, Jerry showed up on time (a bit early, actually, which I truly appreciated) and Nala was very excited to see him. Jerry sent many pictures and texts about how things were going over the two days, let me know when he had to leave for awhile and communicated when he was back. Nala needs alot of love and Jerry was attentive and very willing to give affection to her. The stay could not have gone better. Jerry was also very respective of my home and took good care of everything while I was gone. I highly recommend Jerry and am grateful I found him on Rover.”

About: I have lived with and been around dogs my whole life. I have experience in dog sitting and dog walking, and I am always up for helping people and especially their furry friends! I also have had four cats who were very opposite from being cuddly to being a bit aggressive. However I still love those fuzzballs deeply. Finally I had three parakeets who were very loud but so fun to have around. I am currently in Taylor’s South Carolina. I am 18 years old and currently do not have a job so I am extremely flexible with my schedule. I can really do any day of the week. I like make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also give pets lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel relaxed and happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always keep things clean and organized. Lastly, of course have fun with the pet and give them lots of love.

Our first time using Rover for a 4 day trip. We have a big ask with 3 dogs and 3 cats who are not used to us leaving them alone for more than a couple hours at a time. We appreciated all fo the updates and photos Holly sent and how attentive she was to our pets. It really gave us peace of mind and we were actually able to.enjoy our trip knowing our babies were in good hands!!
