“Beverly did a great job! Very communicative and professional. This was my first time on Rover so I had a lot of questions and she was very forthcoming in helping to understand and in ensuring that my time away was stress free and my cats were in good hands. Great job!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful with my 2 cats. They can be a little sensitive when I am not there, but she played with them everyday and gave them plenty of love. She also sent pictures every drop-in which I was so grateful for! Thank you so much 💜”
“Nicole took wonderful care of our cat, Louie, while we were away. We so appreciated her detailed reports and sweet photos. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in all communications, giving us peace of mind that Louie was in very capable hands. We have already re-booked Nicole to cat-sit during another upcoming trip and would highly recommend her to others in need of pet care!”
“Sydney was attentive, kind, and caring to my fur baby! I received regular photos and updates from her and my cat was very comfortable with her too! I look forward to retaining her services again.”
“Angel is truly an angel. She is responsible and punctual. She took care of my cat Nusa for around two weeks. She answered all my texts and updated me on Nusa’s well being. She made sure Nusa has food and water at all times. I will definitely hit her up next time we are out of town.”
“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. I currently have one cat with me at college and three more waiting for me at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I volunteer with the Humane Society and a local cat rescue, Comfort Cats, where I help care for cats in need. I am also Fear Free Certified, which means I prioritize reducing stress and creating a safe, positive experience for every pet. I’m currently on the pre-veterinary track in college, and my passion for animal health and welfare continues to grow every day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I also work at a animal rescue by the name of Final Victory in Columbia! I am currently a full-time college student, but I make it a priority to provide dependable care for every pet I work with. My class schedule allows me to be flexible throughout the week, and I have even more availability on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to follow your instructions and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. As a Fear Free Certified caregiver and pre-veterinary student, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress and provide calm, compassionate care. I will treat both your pets and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Have an energetic pup who needs someone who can keep up? I’d love to help! I’ve had my own dog, Dallas, since I was 10, and my family currently has three Boxers, so I’m very comfortable with large, energetic dogs. I love going on walks, playing fetch and tug-of-war, but I’m just as happy to cuddle and relax with your pet. I’ve also regularly pet sat for four families, caring for up to three cats and two large dogs in one home, so I’m experienced with different personalities, routines and needs. I love taking pictures and sending cute updates while you’re away, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m a college student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule! My only set commitments are classes: Monday and Wednesday from 2:20–3:35 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:05–11:20 AM and 2:50–4:05 PM. Everything else is extracurricular and can be adjusted around pet-care needs. Fridays and weekends are completely open, and I’m generally flexible with scheduling. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find times that work best for both of us! I have a fully fenced in, chain-link backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time and play, with supervision. I don’t have a crate, but I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide about where they’re most comfortable resting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure doors and gates stay secure, supervise outdoor time, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and ages my entire life. My grandparents had a farm with 10-15 rescues at a time. I’ve had jack russles, Great Danes, labs, & pitties. I’ve been dog sitting all ages and sizes since I was 10 (cats too!) I also have experience with aggressive / reactive dogs and know how to keep them comfortable especially on walks. I am a helicopter dog mom and super particular about how my dogs are taken care of and I will be that way with your dogs too! I work Monday-Thursday with a super flexible schedule so I’m available most weekends and sometimes during the week for drop ins and dog walks. I have a 11 year old and 1 year old dog so I am used to stricter instructions and think it’s super important to follow them for the dogs safety and well being!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old! I helped train and take care of my family dog since she was a puppy, and I still do when I visit home. I have also recently fostered a puppy, so I am familiar with the concept of constant and longer term pet care. I am a teacher in the Columbia area, so my schedule is fairly consistent. I am available weekdays after 4 pm, and my weekends are pretty open, with the exception that I am out of town or on school break. I have a house with space and a fenced in yard, ideal for pets. I can let your pets out, walk them, feed them, and crate them if needed, as I have done all of the above for pets in my care.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets, consistently caring for at least two dogs of different breeds at a time. I’ve successfully trained two puppies under three months old and have experience with cats as well. I’ve also cared for a variety of animals, from dogs to chickens. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’m ready to offer loving and experienced care! I’m a college student with classes Tuesday/ Thursday mornings and while I have a part-time job usually Monday/Wednesday 1-6, I still have plenty of time for pets. I ensure they get daily walks, meals, playtime, and attention, keeping their routine happy and consistent! I want to give your dog the best experince that they can have.That being said, I would love to meet them before just to make sure all is well. During the day or anytime I stop by, I will be send you a picture of your pets so you won't miss them too much!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have dog sat before. I just moved to the area for work and am trying keep my love of being around animals by providing care to the Columbia/Charleston areas! I love being outdoors and always would bring my dogs on the journey! I’m currently working full-time at Nephron Pharmaceuticals in West Columbia from 8-5. I am available in morning between 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. or anytime after 5:30 p.m. during the week. On weekends I am very flexible! I can be in the Columbia area or in Charleston. I do live in an apartment so there is not much space and my roommate does have a cat who is calm. I will provide the best care to your pets as if they were my own. I love being outdoors and going to parks such as Owen’s, Finley, and the riverwalk. At your home, I can change diapers and make sure crates/fences are affective if being used.
About: Hi! I'm a college student from Charleston with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently live on a farm, so I'm comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, including small and large dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows, and more. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with Pit Bulls, and I now have my own Cane Corso named Marley, as well as 3 cats, Mochi, Casper, and Stormy. Because of that, I'm confident handling dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've been pet sitting and babysitting since I was 14 years old. Whether it's family, friends, or neighbors, people have trusted me for years to feed, walk, play with, and most importantly, keep their pets safe and loved while they're away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I'll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, being that I am a college student. I get out of school at 11 am and go in at 8 am, which means the rest of my day, or the early mornings, can be dedicated to your furry friend. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'll also make sure they always have fresh water, clean up after them, and keep your home tidy and secure. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I'll treat each with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Deborah is punctual, reliable, and so great with our two goldendoodles. Our older dog, Chloe, usually has some anxiety with new sitters, but she exhibited none when she met Deborah! She sent lots of pictures and great notes. I highly recommend!!”
“Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Capitol View
Sydney sat with my "little lions" for 4 days and did a beautiful job of being present for them and for paying great attention to their needs. One of my cats has special food issues and there were other very specific notes for 7 cats in total. I was really surprised how fast the cats warmed up to her. That was very new for them. It must've been Sydney's magic touch! Great job Sydney.
Fran goes the extra mile for us! She takes wonderful care of our cats and tends to little things like getting the mail, washing the dirty bowls and watching out for anything out of the ordinary. The cats are warming up to her more and more with each visit. We will use Fran again soon!
Tamera was the best! She communicated well and often. She took amazing care of our babies and sent tons of photos and video updates. She made sure Rusty took his medicine and got tons of love and cuddles while we were away. She was respectful, professional, and most of all genuine. She set the standard for care and will be our ONLY choice for our next trip.
Amaya is very sweet and attentive with my kitties. Not only did she come over to feed them, but she also cleaned their litter box out very good and played with them for a bit. Amaya is a very responsible pet sitter, and I would definitely book with her again!
Olivia was wonderful. She came to meet us before booking her, first impressions are everything and my first impression of her was she so sweet and flexible with our schedules. She was always very responsive and did a great job taking care of our cats. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!!!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
