“I needed a stress free getaway. Leaving my sweet dog with a sitter was not my 1st choice. Sean took great care her! He kept me updated daily with a pic. She’s an older dog, and he seemed to have had a blast staying with him. For the price and care she got, I would recommend him every time.”
“Emily was awesome! She kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages. I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog while on vacation with Emily. I'm very pleased and will use her for the future.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for our entire lives. i have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes (as well as reptiles, fish, and plants!). i have been pet-sitting for colleagues and friends for a while now as well as caring for three cats at home. i have previously cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including animals with special needs and medication schedules. I have a fairly flexible schedule at my day job, and will coordinate around your schedule to make sure I can meet every pet's needs. I would prefer to care for pets in your home, as they're likely to be more comfortable that way (and my cats will too). However, I can make exceptions in special cases. I do prefer to have an initial meet and greet with pets and people to make sure everyone's comfortable. For house-sitting, I goal is to make sure your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible, so I will schedule my workday to be there with them as often as possible.
“Our dog Hazel has stayed with Kristen and her family several times now and is always very excited to go. She has a great time and is always very tired when we return 😆. Definitely recommend Kristen.”
“Karissa was great and we always feel comfortable leaving our pups in loving and capable hands. She will continue to be our #1 option for boarding Theo and Lucy when we have to go out of town!”
“Woody stayed 6 days with Nicole and her family. They allow your pet to be part of their family, with plenty of love, care in feeding and especially outdoors time on their own and with other dogs they get along with. He came home happy and tired…thank you!”
“Haley, Was really great with my boy Sherlock. I was very happy with her professionalism and attention to care for my Sherlock. As well as the updates easing my mind that he was in good hands. Thank you Haley”
“I highly recommend Debbie and Chris! What amazing, caring people. They sent texts, picture and even videos. I was concerned that my small dog would be afraid of their dogs, but she fit right in. Your pet will be safe with Debbie and Chris and well cared for.”
“Ash was absolutely incredible. The constant updates on the site and immediate responses via text whenever I was checking in on Zoey. She even sent Zoey home with some homemade treats. I will definitely be using Ash a lot moving forward. Feels great to know you can be at ease when you're away and someone takes such great care of your pup.”
“Kimi is my first choice for someone to watch Kep. She has been fantastic for drop-in visits during a long work day, short overnights, as well as a longer stay while we went on vacation. Kep always comes home super happy. He is excited to go and "See Kimi". I know that she is an experienced dog/pet parent and I trust her judgment. She has systems in place to keep Kep safe and having fun. She also asks questions about what he is used to, and my preferences as a dog parent for his care. Always quick to communicate, and I love the updates on how he is doing. I would 100% recommend Kimi and will be asking her to watch Kep again!”
About: I bring 12 years of hands-on experience with a local dog rescue, including fostering, training, and caring for dogs of many breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. We have fostered everything from young puppies to dogs over 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care when needed. My experience has taught me to pay close attention to a dog’s behavior, body language, comfort level, and individual personality. Because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Most importantly, I understand that every dog is different. I take the time to learn what makes your dog comfortable, happy, and feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work. Your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away How I Care for Pets Our personal dog passed away a few years ago, and while we aren’t ready to get another dog just yet, we truly miss having one around. He was spoiled and treated like another member of the family, and that is the same warmth and care I provide to every dog I look after. I offer in-home boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in their own home, I’ll follow their normal routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Jennifer was wonderful with Snoopy. Her home is really set up as a doggie haven. She sent updates and pictures each day - and treated him like her own. Couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Angela and Rick went above and beyond in caring for our little Bean. They are an incredibly kind and genuinely sweet couple. We truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos they sent us throughout Bean’s stay. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with Mr. Bean—Angela and Rick will always be our first choice! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for loving our baby as much as we do!”
About: Your pet’s comfort is my priority, I have over 20 years experience owning and caring for pets. I bring a reliable, structured approach to pet care. I have hands‑on experience with training and reinforcing good habits through consistency and positive engagement. I am able to recognize signs of stress. So to the greatest extent possible, I will follow established feeding, walking, and bedtime routines to keep pets grounded while you’re away. I’m confident with younger pets who like to test boundaries giving them the opportunity to make good choices. I'm patient and attentive with senior pets, including those who need slower pacing or extra reassurance, and I’m able to administer medications safely per directions. I treat every animal like they're my family, giving them the same structure and affection they’re used to at home. I work full time from home which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. Although I work from home and my schedule is relatively flexible, I maintain standard office hours and have client calls throughout the day. Morning or lunchtime drop-offs and pick-ups are preferred if possible. Mornings between 730am and 9am and mid-day between 12pm-1pm are best. if afternoon drop offs/pick-ups are required, my schedule generally allows for that between 4pm-5pm. I take classes approximately four days a week so am generally unavailable for drop‑offs and pick‑ups between 5:30pm - 8:30pm due to the scheduled class times. However, with enough advanced notice I may be able to accommodate your need. if you have questions or a unique situation, please reach out. We truly love your pets like our own and would love for them to come stay with us. Welcome to our home—where pets are family and comfort comes first. My spouse and I recently moved to the Anderson county area and are still in the process of getting settled. I have always had pets in my life. I love their companionship, affection, loyalty, good nature, and adventurous spirit. I provide a loving home where your pets are treated like family. I live in a single‑family home with a fenced yard. I work from home, giving me a flexible schedule for attentive and consistent care. Our household is slower‑paced, making it an ideal environment for senior dogs and small to medium companions who enjoy a calm, cozy routine. Consistent structure and routine are critical for our pets to relax and enjoy themselves. I understand this and am committed to maintaining routines that you have established for your companion. We love to field trip and go hike state parks and gentle trails on the weekends. Everyone's time is limited on this spinning space-rock so we think it's important to give them all the love we can while we're here and to allow them to make their own memories; to enjoy new experiences and new environments. I share my home with my wife (who arguably loves pets more than I do ;), a friendly and sociable 4-year-old female beagle/lab mix 30lbs and one senior female domestic short hair cat. So it’s important that your pet is comfortable with and gets along with other animals. However, if your animal requires some level of isolation due to medical reasons, I have the space to accommodate. For everyone's safety and comfort there are a few things that need to be in place. I only take one client at a time. With that, I insist we have an initial meet and greet. So that the first time your loved one meets me is not in a strange or stressful environment. This makes sure we all (pets included) have a chance to meet and make sure we mesh. Unfortunately, I cannot accept unneutered males or females in heat. all pets must be current on vaccines and be on flea prevention—experience has taught me that prevention is far easier than eradication. Although my schedule is flexible, I maintain standard office hours so have client calls throughout the day. Morning or lunch time drop offs and pick-ups are preferred if possible. Mornings between 730am and 9am and mid-day between 12pm-1pm are best. if afternoon drop offs/pick-ups are required, my schedule generally allows for that between 4pm-5pm. I take classes approximately four days a week so am generally unavailable for drop‑offs and pick‑ups between 5:30pm - 8:30pm due to the scheduled class times. However, with enough advanced notice I may be able to accommodate changes. if you have questions, please reach out. We truly love your pets like our own and would love for them to come stay with us.
“Max seemed very happy and well taken care of. I think he enjoyed playing with their dog Sammy and being around children. Thanks for taking such good care of him, see you next time!”
“Lindsey was excellent and you can tell her and her household truly have a love for animals. They were flexible and accommodating for us and super easy to communicate and coordinate with. We look forward to booking our next stay with Lindsey :)”
“Brianna is a great dog sitter. She takes pictures and updates every day and very diligent with care, asking questions, and taking on multiple walks each day, without a doubt, would not hesitate to book again.”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“We were so happy to have Jessica take care of our little dog. She is so sweet and gentle with her. Winnie took to her immediately. It was a long stay of eight nights and Jessica made us feel confident that Winnie was being well taken care of. We appreciated everything she did for Winnie and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her again in the future.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Centerville
Katlyn took excellent care of our dog while we were on vacation. Pictures and updates on behavior daily. Our pup was able to make herself at home with Katlyn...maintaining her usual "spots" on furniture, getting lots of snuggles and playtime, and keepinga similar bathroom/meal/bedtime routine while we were away. Katlyn was also quick to let us know of any abnormal behavior or possible medical concerns that we may not have been aware of. Can't recommend her enough. I don't go away often, but if a sitter is ever needed again, Katlyn will be the first one I reach out too!

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 Centerville home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Centerville.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Centerville 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
