About: CJ and I have owned and cared for dogs our whole lives! Between the two of us, we have over 20 years of dog care experience and we have worked at multiple dog daycares and boarding facilities as well as veterinary practices. We both still currently work and train at local facilities! We have such a passion for what we do we want to bring work home with us; WELCOME TO CAMP RECALL! We have a pack of our own, and our pups love to make new friends and play all day. We have experience with almost all breeds and we have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. We are the perfect mix of a canine facility and a home environment! If your pup needs more individualized care, structure, and enrichment than large scale daycares can provide, we are the perfect fit for you. We will send updates and pictures of your dog having a great time as often as you would like. We can also train your pup while you are away, whether that be just for the day or for a longer term stay! Your dogs will be loved and cared for as part of our family and they will love to spend time at Camp! Dogs are our passion! We also have our own pack so dog care is in every aspect of our day to day lives. Between our varying schedules, someone is almost always home to be loving on the dogs! Your pup will have plenty of friends to play with. We have a fenced in yard that is spacious and secure. Pups in our care receive structured and safe, supervised play with other fur-iends as well as one on one time, enrichment, structure, and plenty of snuggles! We send pictures of your pup having the best time and can also offer training for an additional fee.
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a dog in my life. I am always willing to make time for a four-legged companion, and because I'm athletic/energetic, I enjoy walking and playing with your dog. I have 20 years of sitting experience, five on Rover, and I've worked in professional pet boarding and training at a boutique kennel (Cuddly Critters in Greenville). I am a schedule oriented person who can easily adapt to other people's/animal's schedules. Pets always make the best companions, and I want to get to know as many as possible. I have had several fulltime jobs throughout my life, but I doubt any will be as fun as watching your dog. Recently, my career has revolved around higher education, so anything that can make a dent in my student loans is a plus! Happy to hear any questions/special requests you might have. Please feel free to contact me for anything. I'm currently working part time, but it is all remote work done via laptop. So all I need is wifi and I'm good to go. I can commit most of the 24+hrs directly to your dog. I always create a fun and safe environment whenever I'm around "our better halves" (lol). I know how to calm down anxious dogs, but also keep up with any sheep dogs you might have lol.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life, both big and small. I understand the patience and commitment when taking care of dogs. As a college student I spend a lot of times away from my own dogs, so I can confirm that I will provide a lot of love and care for your furry friend! I am currently a full time college student but have free days Sunday, Monday, Friday and Wednesday (all day). However, I am willing to work with your needs and find time on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5pm. I can come to your home and care for your dog how you please. I love taking walks, so I can provide some extra fun an exercise for your dog!
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.

About: My family is a big dog family with two Great Danes I’m used to big more heavy set animals so I do not scare easy.

We have multiple cats in our household so I am used to regular feedings, treats, playtime and providing all the attention your pet may need!
About: I’ve been around all different kinds of animals my whole life! I’ve been taking care of my close friends and families animals for as long as I can remember! This includes experience in house sitting and caring for the animals needs! Animals can’t speak to us verbally so it is important to pay attention to their needs and wants. I take animals seriously and treat all of them how I do mine! I am a server at a restaurant and have a very flexible schedule! My shifts are typically at night and last about 5 hours! I typically have my days open! My personal pets are very spoiled! I have two dogs and I take them on walks, to the park, on the boat, etc. I snuggle them any minute I can! They are my main priority- I treat their needs as I do my own. This also transfers over to my clients pets! Like I’ve previously stated, I treat all animals as I do my own!
“Jaylin and Charles took excellent care of my kitty, Todd, and kept consistent communication throughout the week! They asked about anything they were unsure of to make sure they were taking the best care possible, and they were so kind and easy to book! 100% recommend!”
About: What Sets Me Apart: With an unparalleled passion for animals cultivated over years of genuine connection, I stand out as a pet sitter who believes in treating every furry friend as part of the family. My dedication stems from the belief that animals are akin to humans, deserving equal respect and care. Trusted by family, friends, teachers, and associates alike, I am honored to be the go-to person for the cherished pets of others. Special Skills: My commitment to providing top-notch care extends to specialized skills such as puppy training and senior pet care. I ensure that every pet under my watch receives the same level of attention, affection, and protection as if they were my own. Whether it's allowing them on furniture, indulging them in long walks, or engaging them in stimulating activities, I prioritize their safety and well-being. Upholding your pet's rules and expectations with utmost pride, I guarantee a seamless and loving experience for both you and your beloved companion. Hi there! My name is Amaya, and I’m a caring, dependable animal lover based in Greenville. I’m currently studying Childhood Education at Regent University as a 100% online student, which gives me the flexibility to create my own schedule and dedicate quality time to caring for pets. Because of my online schooling, I’m able to offer reliable support throughout the day and on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I treat every pet like my own — with love, attention, and patience. I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and sizes, and I understand how important it is to provide not just care, but companionship. I’d love to meet your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family member and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. Looking forward to connecting! In both my home and my client's home, I prioritize creating a nurturing and stimulating environment tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each pet. As an active individual, I incorporate various activities such as walks, park visits, outdoor relaxation sessions, and engaging in interactive mind stimulation games suitable for all ages and breeds. I believe in personalizing each activity to cater to the unique personality and requirements of every pet under my care. In essence, they keep me engaged and energized, fostering a dynamic and enriching experience for both myself and the pets I have the pleasure of caring for.

Great experience! The sitter took excellent care of Dakota and made the whole process super easy. They were reliable, friendly, and followed all the instructions I left. I really appreciate the help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. I’ll definitely book again!
This is our second time having Laurel watch our babies while we are out of town. She’s fabulous as always! Very attentive and great communication. She was available right away as we had to go out of state for funeral. We will definitely be having her look after our pets again.
Amethyst was GREAT!! I didn't know till very last minute that i wouldn't get home from work in time. She answered immediately when i requested. She is a great communicator. She text me as soon as she arrived let me know Reggie was a little nervous about what she should do. I gave her some ideas. She made sure he was fed, taken out and had water. She made sure my house was secure. She sent videos and communicated really really well. She did a great job. I would recommend her to anyone.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Central is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Central choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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. 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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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 sitter.
