“Mari was fantastic! She was available last minute to watch my girl and her pup Scooby was so great with her. They played in the backyard the entire weekend and when I came to pick up my girl she was exhausted lol. I definitely suggest Mari as a sitter to anyone! Thank you 😊”
“Henry had such a great stay. He loved hanging out with Granger! The yard was super!! And all the videos Maddie sent were fantastic 😊 She assured us Henry was having his own vacation just like us humans!”
“They are wonderful! They were very welcoming to our dog and seemed to really enjoy having him. We appreciated all of the pictures, videos and toys you let him play with.”
“Karla sent pictures or videos of Odie daily. He could be seen making himself at home lounging on the floor. He is a big chicken in thunder storms and Karla made him as comfy as could be. Her husband really took to him and I was a little worried he would not want to leave.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to hamsters and rats—and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster kittens and gain hands-on experience with a variety of pets. My mom was a veterinary technician for 30 years, so I grew up learning a lot about animal care, behavior, and what it means to keep pets happy and healthy. At 18, I started my own pet-sitting business back home in Connecticut. When I moved out of state, I left the business behind, but I’ve always wanted to get back into pet sitting—and now feels like the perfect time! I currently have two cats and two ball pythons of my own. My schedule is also very flexible right now, which means I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. My time spent with your pets will involve lots of love and cuddles, walks and playtime, as well as treats as appropriate. I also have experience with administering medications to pets, so if this is something you need assistance with just let me know! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐾 I'm currently in between jobs and looking for something part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your babies, whether that be drop-ins or boarding. If needed, I have a dog crate at home for the safety of your pet while I am not at home. I have a 3 bedroom home in a peaceful community in Conway.
“Jaelyn is one of my favorite Rover sitters that I’ve encountered so far. I’m so happy that Jaelyn and (and friends,) and my pup Shady, all seemed to be such a great fit for each other. I could tell through the many messages and awesome photos I received, that Shady was getting so much love. He has been so worn out this evening after spending his wonderful weekend adventures with Jaelyn.”
“Ilana and Izzy welcomed Bella into their home and lives. She had a great time playing with their dog, Tony and sharing in their family adventures. Daily pictures made us know that she was happy and well cared for. We will be back. Thank you both. Deb & Phil”
“Jenn was amazing! If she’ll have him, I’d definitely like to use her again. She took such good care of Patches and sent me updates each day. Amazing sitter ??????”
“This was my first time using Rover and Jennifer made it an absolute wonderful experience! We were coming from out of state to vacation in SC, I could not bring our fur baby to the AirB&B so I had to find our Maggie a place. We were fortunate enough to have our baby stay with Jennifer and family. I was so nervous( never left Maggie with anyone before) and I was so at ease after meeting Jennifer. She kept me updated and sent videos and pictures. It was evident that Maggie enjoyed her stay!”
“Lauren was incredible with our puppy! She kept us updated and I’m sure would have sent more photos if we asked. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Ginger was also having a good time! We would not hesitate to use Lauren again!”
“Debbie was great! Our sitter wouldn’t answer us when it was time to drop our baby off and so we have to last minute switch and Debbie met us right away and we felt totally comfortable leaving our boy with her! Will be using again ♥️”
“Alivia was great! This was our first time using Rover and were thrilled with how wonderful she was with our dog Bella. She kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures. Bella looked like she was having lots of fun during her stay and she came home tired out from all the excitement. I will definitely be booking with Alicia again.”

About: I've had and taken care of a dog since I was 7 years old. Dogs were always a part of our family life. In my family and friend group I am the go-to person for pet sitting and puppy walks. I recently participated with a trainer from Ultimate K9 training in Southern Maryland with my own pup Russel who passed with flying colors and both he and I learned many new skills and tricks. Working with dogs is one of the loves of my life. I typically work a 7-5 shift at my day job but do have some flexibility during the day that I can use for a pup break. Evenings I am consistently available after 5pm. Weekend work is not a problem and I am open to helping support your much needed getaway. Love is always the first ingredient but of course we respect puppy boundaries as set by the puppy parents or how comfortable the pup is until they feel comfortable. Meals are fed to pups at the same time to make sure they are not feeling favoritism. Belly rubs and play time are also important for bonding and trust. I will send images of pets daily if the pet parent would like. Just let me know.
“Carina was great! She sent me picture updates without me asking, and took great care of my dog. She worked with me to pick my dog up a little earlier than scheduled without any issue. Would definitely use her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bucksport
We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Mckenzie! This was the very first time we had ever left our 1-year-old puppy, Nyla, with anyone, so naturally we were a little nervous. From the moment we met Mckenzie, she made us feel completely at ease. While my family and I were out of the country for an entire week, Mckenzie kept in constant communication, sending us daily updates and adorable photos of Nyla. Seeing her enjoying multiple walks each day, playing, and looking so happy gave us so much peace of mind. Mckenzie truly went above and beyond our expectations. It's clear she genuinely cares for the pets she watches and treats them like family. Nyla absolutely loved her, and we know she'll be excited to stay with Mckenzie again the next time we travel. We highly recommend Mckenzie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bucksport home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bucksport.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Bucksport sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
