About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 3 years, and I also worked at a doggy daycare for a year! During that time, I gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Working at a daycare taught me how important patience and understanding are, especially when dogs miss their owners, feel anxious, or don’t want to eat. I know every dog is different, and I always take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule and availability change each semester depending on my classes. I also work part-time on weekends, but I have free time during the week that I would love to spend caring for dogs! While weekdays are generally easier for me, I’m also open to weekend pet sitting and would be happy to discuss availability in advance. I think pet sitting fits perfectly into my college routine because it allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while balancing school and work. I love spending time with dogs, and I truly believe their companionship would brighten my day just as much as I hope to brighten theirs! Since I currently live in a college dorm, I only offer pet care in the owner’s home. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I believe keeping them in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine can make a big difference! I’m very respectful of each owner’s home and always make sure to follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs their dog may have. With my previous dog sitting and daycare experience, I know how to be patient with dogs of different personalities and help them feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands!
About: I have a lot of experience with taking care of all sorts of pets and look forward to making your pet feel right at home. I’ve been doing rover for 3 years now and had pets my whole life ranging from dogs/ cats to snakes etc. Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine! I’m currently doing pet sitting full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I live in a gated apartment community with plenty of places to walk and play, including a fenced-in dog park. I’m home a lot, so pets staying with me will get plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and of course lots of love! I’m also happy to stay at a client’s home if their pet is more comfortable in their own space. I’ll stick to their normal routine as much as possible and follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else they may need. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
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.
About: I really enjoy animals so much. I just do not meet a stranger when it comes to dogs and cats. Your home would be my home away from home. Im 54 years old with a 10 year old son. I enjoy teaching him about how wonderful each animal can be. I personally believe if you teach a child to love animals they will grow up to be wonderful people. I do not have a big home but it is ful of love. We treat all animals like they are part of our family. I can not wait to meet you and your family (pets).. This job is a test to see if i can make an income big enough to stay home with my son. . God Bless each and everyone of you.
“We have used Talen to walk our senior boy Marco for several months now. She is punctual, reliable, kind, and always gets the job done above and beyond. We are grateful to have her help!!”

About: I am a 27 year old husband and father of 2 boys. I am a veterinary nurse who works with dogs and cats everyday. I love what I do and consider myself lucky to be able to make a living working with animals. I know that most owners feel the same way as i do about their dogs/cats when they have to leave them in others hands. Owners are going to worry when they are away and it is up to the person responsible for their pet to make them feel at ease. When your pet is with me you can know that they are in good hands and that I will do everything I can to make them feel safe. I know all dogs are different and some are more frightened when their owners are away. Some dogs need more affection than others while some just want you to throw them the ball. I take pride in making them feel safe and as if they were with their best friend. I promise you i will keep your pet safe and sound. Even more than that i promise you that them and I will have fun! Thank you. I work Monday through Friday with Thursdays off. I can always come by in the mornings, on lunch, and afternoon and nights. I can be as flexible as needed. I will always keep an eye on the pet and make sure they are seen as if their own human was there. I take pride that I have worked in the vet field for over a decade and pretty much grew up in it
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about eleven years old. Growing up, I always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and my love for animals led me to start volunteering at a local shelter when I was young. What began as a childhood dream quickly turned into a lifelong passion. Through years of volunteering and hands-on experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. Spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is something that truly brings me joy. My passion for animal care has only grown stronger over the years, and I would love the opportunity to share that dedication with you by helping care for your pets and making sure they’re happy while you’re away ☺️🐾 I’m currently in nursing school and pet sitting through Rover full-time. Since most of my studying is done from home, I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care, giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. It’s the perfect balance for me—I get to focus on my studies while also caring for and snuggling with the amazing pets I’m trusted to watch. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!! 🥰 I have several years of experience dog sitting, cat sitting, dog walking, and volunteering at animal shelters, along with caring for pets of my own. These experiences have taught me how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I maintain a consistent routine and stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment so that your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for at all times!! 🐾💕

I’m experienced in administering medications; pills, eye drops, shots, etc. Animals are my peace so I’d love to give a peace of mind to others😊 I’m available full time, there are currently 6 dogs & 2 cats in my house & the pups get outside about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I also have a 3 year old whos with me 3 days out of the week. I have a fenced in yard, all of my pups & my sisters are crated when not supervised. I would prefer crates brought when staying with me just for safety reasons! & if I were to watch your pup in your hone they’d get the same love & care they receive from you😊
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.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have experience with mediation management and administration and am comfortable caring for medically complex or senior pets :) I work full time but do work from home about 75% of the time at least so I am home most of the day to care for your pets! I have two friendly dogs and two dog-savvy cats who get along with everyone! I can easily crate or separate animals into separate spaces in my home if the need arises

About: Avid animal lover with years of experience. I believe each pet is an individual, just like us, with different wants, needs, and desires. I am able to adapt to each personality .. if they want cuddles, I give cuddles, if they want space, they get space. :) I have volunteered with many animal rescue and adoption services, and treat each pet as if they were my own! My availability is flexible and I am willing to travel outside of my set location, or accommodate any special needs, with prior request. I am comfortable with all breeds, all energies, and multiple pets .. am available for walks, feeding, medicine administration, sitting, drop ins, and any needed love! I look forward to servicing you and your fur family!!
About: Hey there! I’m Katelyn. Thank you for considering me to take care of your furry companion(s). I have ample experience caring for and loving on: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, birds, rodents, turtles and rabbits. This includes pups and kitties of all sizes, temperaments, ages and health statuses. I am Fear Free certified through my continued volunteer work with a local humane society. Fear Free is a nationwide initiative across the animal welfare community that offers online educational courses on handling fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats through evidence based strategies. My time at the humane society consists of but not limited to: walking dogs, providing enrichment opportunities for the animals, assisting the staff with adoptions, and staying behind the scenes to tend to the back of the house tasks that keep the facility up and running. My approach is to treat each animal as an individual and get to know each other according to their unique personality and preferences. Positive reinforcement and enrichment opportunities are my jam! My experience ranges from dog walking to extended period pet sitting to fostering both dogs and cats to assisting behavior teams at animal shelters/rescues. I am also well versed in daily upkeep tasks required for barn animals. I’d be happy to elaborate upon request. I split my time between the Tryon, Greer, and surrounding areas. I work full time Monday-Friday in the veterinary industry in Columbus, NC. ***For house sitting bookings, I am able to watch your pets in your home only at this time.*** I believe animals thrive on routine and keeping their days as normal as possible when their person/family are away. Whatever their typical day to day looks like is how I will care for them! Safety is something I take very seriously and is of utmost importance.

About: Growing up I had a dog named Toby and Kallie the cat! We’d be responsible for taking Toby on walks, feeding him, administering medication, and of course showing both of them major love and affection. My work schedule is very flexible so I’m able to adjust according to your pup’s needs. I work from home on occasion and would be happy to have some canine company in the house. I live in a pondside home in a safe suburban neighborhood. It’s a wooded area with all kinds of critters, much to explore! I’ll set up a bed with blankets in the sunroom for my doggie guests :)

About: I have always had dogs and cats and goats and occasionally I have owned cows so I’m a big animal lover who has plenty of land for them to run on and be free with it also being in a fence area. They will feel safe they will feel loved and you will get pictures of your little fur babies daily. I am a stay at home mom who has a two year-old little girl who does Therapy so I am always at home and I would love to be able to help someone when they are in need of having their fur babies at a safe house. Each pet that comes around has water, food and an air conditioner. The outside porch has air conditioner that they get underneath so they are in a safe environment. It’s fenced in and they have plenty of room to run.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
