“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”

“Kathy is amazing! My husband and I work nightshift and she came to walk and play with him while we were at work and made us feel at ease 😊 she sent me cute pics and kept me updated during the visit which was awesome. We will definitely ask for her help in the future! :)”

About: I’ve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so I’m well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzu’s, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion there’s no animal too big or too small that I can’t befriend! I’m a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks I’m completely free and I do own a car so I can travel a good distance to wherever your home resides! I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but when I’m caring in your home I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever your pet needs, such as using a leash to go potty, or getting them to take pills if need be!
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes throughout my life, and pet sat for many friends! Friends know I am reliable, and will always prioritize your animals I’m currently working full time, and looking to make some money on the side doing what I love! My schedule is flexible, meaning I can work around you and your pets needs to make sure they are getting the best care. I have 3 dogs of my own, and have plenty of experience with feeding, playing, and crating dogs. Because all our dogs have been rescues, I also have experience with puppies, untrained dogs, and dogs who aren't perfect on leash.

About: Experienced dog owner with husky and Belgian Malinois, skilled in high-energy breeds, daily exercise, leash training, enrichment, and providing attentive, reliable, compassionate care services offered. Animals are my life. I basically plan each and everyday around my two dogs and their needs. I work full time but I am committed. I provide safe, calm care by following routines, supervising closely, pet-proofing spaces, using positive reinforcement, respecting instructions, and maintaining consistency in home or client environments.
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs for 5+ years. I also have a small dog myself who is thirteen. I have worked with many sizes and breeds of dogs over time and am excited to help! I am currently working part time and taking some college courses. I have a lot of free time to hang out with your little dogs! I have a small dog myself and I know how important safety and care. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own!
About: I've personally owned and fostered several dogs, cats, and fish throughout my 24 years of life, and am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling all of their unique needs. I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy! I work remotely, so I'm available pretty much anytime! Please check my calendar for availability prior to requesting services, I'll have it updated when I am unavailable. I promise to treat each pet like their own individual, making sure each one gets the proper love and care they deserve through long walks, scheduled food times, and endless pets!
“Brielle was great with Samson. He can be a bit anxious with new people but she was able to make him feel comfortable enough for petting and belly rubs. She also went above and beyond and picked up dog poop in my yard (that my son was supposed to do that week (eye roll)). Brielle has a very sweet disposition and you can feel how much she cares for dogs.”

“Lex took care of our 2 dogs and very high maintenance cat! She was super communicative and made sure to double check all of the many instructions we left! Thank you so much, Lex!”


“Stephen and his family are the absolute best! My dogs were obviously comfortable and excited to see them daily. I received photos and updates every day, and am so happy to have trusted sitters. I would highly recommend them!”


“Jennifer was exceptional, providing attentive care and creating a comfortable environment for my furry friends. I highly recommend her services for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I have been taking care of my dogs at home my whole life! I also dog sit for my neighbors and friends all the time! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from high energy puppies to senior dogs. I am a current student at Coastal Carolina, so I do have class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a couple hours (but there will always be someone in the home with your pet!). I am completely free on Tuesday and Thursday as well as the weekend! I do not have any pets in the home with me currently, and I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment for all furry friends!
“Jillian has been great. She has been very accommodating to my requests and flexible, which I deeply appreciate. She always provides ongoing updates with my pup so I know everything’s ok while i’m not there.”

“Lindsey gave our girls (kitty Nala and pup Luna ) the best care and attention while we were gone!!! Responsive and friendly and professional! Thanks so much, Lindsey!!”

“Jo is an amazing animal lover. Such a gift for pet owners that need support. She was very communicative and sent me pics which really cheered me up while I was in the hospital. I would highly recommend Jo for any if your pet support needs. I could not be happier with the care my 4 dogs received. Until the next time Jo, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“Anthony is amazing, the care and love he showed for Persi was amazing. All the camera shots were fantastic to get every time he visited. Even brought in our packages! 10 out of 10!”

Barrington dog parents share their Rover experiences
I can’t recommend Lindsey highly enough! She is reliable, incredibly kind, and truly goes above and beyond for my Ruby girl. Every walk is handled with care, and it shows—our dog is happier, calmer, and absolutely adores her and her sidekick Paco!! Communication is always clear and prompt, and the photos and updates after each walk give me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like family, this is the person to call!

Jenna helped watch our two dogs Murphy and Lulu while we were away for a week. We were so grateful they were in such good hands! They went on lots of walks and were well fed and had lots of playtime! Jenna gave us lots of updates and photos which our family loved since we missed them so much! When we got back we could see how happy and well cared for they both were! Jenna was caring and trustworthy and I know our pups would love to have her back!

Nicole is an absolute pleasure to care for my German Shepherd Dog. She’s prompt, thoughtful, very down to earth, and my 2 year old GSD absolutely loves her. Best of all, she handles him extremely well and with care! Couldn’t be happier to have Nicole drop in and care for my (very energetic) Shepherd.

Sarah was amazing with our three pups, one of those with special needs. She cared for them like they were her own while we were away and coming home to a clean home with happy pups was beyond measure. Sarah kept us updated throughout our time away with photos from her visits- which we really appreciated! Highly recommend Sarah if you are in search for dog care in your home!

Krista has been so wonderful with my dog these past few years. I am so grateful for her level of care and kindness. My dog loves when she takes him for walks and is genuinely excited to see her! Thank you Krista for always coming through and providing my dog with such amazing care. Koa loves you! ♥️
