Abbie has been amazing with my two dogs. She enjoys spending time with them and followed all of our instructions to a tee. Abbie has also been flexible with my sometimes sometimes unpredictable schedule, and I very much appreciate her flexibility. I'm looking forward to continuing to book Abbie when I need coverage for my pups!

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

About: I am a lifelong animal advocate. With over 45 years hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, I bring unmatched dedication and heart to every pet I meet. My background includes seven years as a veterinary technician and several years of veterinary university schooling, giving me medical knowledge and confidence to handle everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Beyond the skills and training, my true gift is my deep love for animals, and my ability to create a peaceful, low-stress environment where pets play then relax and thrive especially when you are away from your home. When you entrust me with your canine or feline furry baby, you can rest assured that they will receive wonderful, loving care, genuine affection and a comfortable stable presence in your home. I am pet parent to 7 year old Boxer mix rescue Elvis, 3 years old Boxer Hope, two 12 year old rescued/fostered cats, Finn and Karma and my 34 year old feathered friend African Grey Remo! Multiple dogs/pets and/or several daily check in's are not a problem for me - available for overnight stays, early mornings. I currently have full availability for housesitting services, overnight pet sit in your home or conduct daily check-ins at your home seven days per week. When you invite me into your home to care for your pets, their safety, comfort and happiness become my top priorities. I take great pride in creating a trustworthy, calm and loving environment where animals feel secure and at ease, especially when their humans are gone. I am attentive to every detail from maintaining consistent routines to watching for signs of stress or discomfort. My approach is always gentle, patient, and grounded in respect for both your pets and your home. You can rest easy knowing that your furry family members are in responsible caring hands, receiving dependable attention and affection in your absence.

Robin was fantastic! She was consistently on-time, and Daisy loved her. She got walks, treats, and lots of love while we were gone. I’d highly recommend her to anyone needing great care for their pets.

About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life and even worked in a cat café, so I know how to connect with animals of all personalities. As a psych major, I bring behavioral insight, patience, and empathy to every furry friend in my care, someone they’ll instantly trust and love. I work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which leaves afternoons, evenings, and weekends free for walks, visits, or overnight care. I can be flexible to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I care for every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, routine, and emotional well being while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and activity preferences so they experience as little disruption as possible. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive to both your pet’s needs and your space. I also provide consistent updates with photos and notes, so you feel fully confident and connected the entire time.

I was TERRIFIED of the thought of leaving my fur baby with a complete stranger. From the moment Kelsey stepped into my home- I instantly had a great feeling. Sonza warmed up to her immediately! Throughout the week- I never, not one time, wondered if Sonza was ok. Kelsey sent pictures and videos, essentially maintained a mini diary while we were away! Kelsey communicated every step of the way… keeping our minds at ease!! She has a sitting family for life!! 10/10 DEFINITELY recommend! Kelsey, Thank you for caring for our girl with so much intention, love and compassion!!! You’re welcome by anytime!!!

About: Hi, I’m Sam! I live in NE Columbia near Sandhills, and caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from tiny puppies to giant seniors. I’m also the South Carolina Manager for Daisy Bean Rescue, where I’ve helped countless dogs find their forever homes. That means your pup will always be in the hands of someone who knows how to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible and your dog would almost never be unattended. I can take frequent breaks to make sure your dog is well looked after and not alone. I want to care for your pet just exactly the way you would if you were available. I strictly follow all care instructions and make them as comfy as possible until you return.

This was my first time using Christina and everything went great. Lola (my dog) was happy when I came home, she wasn't upset so things went well between them. Christina brought a package in for me that was an unexpected delivery that day, that was thoughtful, and most important, I had a medical procedure that day and was out of town. Having met Christina a couple of days prior, I wasn't worried about Christina or Lola. I knew everything would be alright. I would definitely use Christina again.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! In high school, I started volunteering at a veterinary hospital and eventually worked there, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets and made me realize just how much I love working with animals. Growing up, I had all kinds of pets, including dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles, and even iguanas. Because of that, I'm comfortable caring for animals with all sorts of personalities and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and can administer medications, including pills, injections, and other treatments as directed by your veterinarian. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy tail wag or helping a nervous pup feel comfortable and at home. Most mornings start around 7:00 AM with potty breaks and breakfast. After everyone has eaten and settled in, I open the dog door so pups can safely move between the house and yard throughout the day. When the weather is nice, we spend plenty of time outside playing fetch, exploring the yard, splashing in the kiddie pool, enjoying enrichment activities, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. Depending on your dog's personality and your approval, we may also enjoy car rides, trips to the park, or local walking trails. Throughout the day, there are plenty of potty breaks, supervised play sessions, cuddle time, and opportunities to rest. Dogs who prefer quieter environments are given space to relax, while active pups get lots of exercise and engagement. Dinner is usually around 6:00 PM, giving everyone plenty of time for evening potty breaks before winding down for the night. Bedtime is typically between 8:00 and 9:00 PM, with lots of cozy snuggles and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Whether your dog loves to play all day or prefers lounging on the couch, I'll make sure they feel right at home and receive plenty of attention, love, and care. **Safety, Trust & Environment** Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I know how important it is for dogs to stick to routines, so I do my best to follow the schedule they're used to at home—from feeding times to bedtime routines and everything in between. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Playtime is always monitored, and I regularly check my fenced yard and gates to make sure everything stays secure. The yard is cleaned daily so everyone has a clean space to enjoy. To help keep all guests healthy, I require proof of current Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP vaccinations before boarding. You'll also receive updates, photos, and videos throughout your pet's stay because I know how much it means to see your furry family member having fun while you're away. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they're on vacation while you have peace of mind knowing they're loved and cared for.

About: When your pet is with me, they immediately become apart of our family. Playtime is out of this world, Routines are followed and cuddles are a priority until you’re reunited with your fur baby. I’ve cared for dogs, my entire life so loving on them is second nature I work from home until 10 PM but work can follow me. Your pet’s care will include frequent visits up to 4 times a day including walks, playtime and feedings I have a fenced in back patio for your pup to soak up the sun. I also live in the first floor and have no other dogs or kiddos so hopefully your pup likes solitude as much as I do.

Keith went above and beyond while caring for my Jojo! Communication was excellent, instructions were followed perfectly, and I truly felt at ease and appreciated the regular updates/photos/videos. It was clear that Jojo felt safe and completely comfortable and cared for the entire time. I would not hesitate to book Keith again and I highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking dependable, thorough, and loving pet care!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Blythewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Blythewood on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,053 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Blythewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Blythewood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blythewood. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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