“Gracie is and has always been amazing in taking care of my fur baby Nala! Mind you Nala is a puppy! Not only does she help with the little things like training, etc. but her communication skills are top notch!”

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs as I’ve had multiple dogs in my home at once. I began dog sitting at 14 for a variety of different dog sizes and breeds, and I have found such a love in being able to do so! I am currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be there for any and all pet care needs! I have a large chocolate lab and two cats at home. Our dog stays inside with us most of the time, but he enjoys his time outside and his daily walks. We live on lots of land, so our cats wander through the day, but sleep in the garage at home. Although this is how I take care of my own animals, I will accommodate to however the pet owner normally cares for their animals!
About: I have personally owned and cared for neighbors' dogs and other pets since I was 10. I have extensive care experience with puppy and adult small and large dogs, including bathing, walking, feeding, and general pet-sitting duties. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also taken care of neighbors' and friends' pets. I give individualized care for each pet and parent's needs and appreciate that every dog is different. No request is too extreme! I am a graduate student at Clemson, so my schedule is flexible in the mornings and the afternoons after 3 PM, as well as on weekends. I can also accommodate mid-day potty breaks and walks! When it comes to your home and pets, my top priority is safety. I always use a leash when walking dogs and encourage them to remain close to me (their walking buddy!). For in-home pet sitting, I prefer to stick to your pets' usual routine so that your furry friend stays happy, even when you're out of town. I will also respect all of your personal property and will follow instructions to a T.
“Shannon was amazing with our cats while we were away! She is an excellent communicator, knowledgeable, kind, and always sent lots of great pictures that put our minds at ease. Highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.
“Magan was attentive and able to accommodate our schedule. She made sure to keep me updated during her visits. I would highly recommend for anyone who has high energy dogs or puppies.”

About: I've run a dog rescue that placed 1000+ dogs in new homes in 3 years, worked as a live-in animal care taker at a dog and cat boarding facility, and trained several service dogs for a national service dog organization. I've had dogs and cats of my own for over 20 years, and am often the person's friends and family call when they have a dog/cat question instead of google. I've seen and done it all, which means I know how to manage a wide variety of dogs and cats (and more) with all their personalities and quirks. I work full time, but with pretty flexible hours with enough heads-up. I have dogs and cats of my own, so I already have an easy routine of caring for them and it's quite easy to add another. I move my work schedule around to maximize the best times for hikes/outside time for the dogs depending on the weather. I try to take at least one of my dogs for hikes at the Clemson Experimental Forest 2-3x a week. I have a fenced yard with a small (fully enclosed and secure) chicken run. Any visiting dogs would have supervised time to play in the yard or the fenced back deck several times a day. I have 3 friendly dogs who would love to play or just hang out, or can be kept fully separate from any visitor if the visitor needs their space. They are used to mixing or staying separate from any visiting dogs/cats. I also have two cats who are dog friendly, or remain completely upstairs to themselves if any visitors aren't cat friendly. Visiting pets are setup in my home office with a crate of their own (if needed), plenty of windows, and room to play or bed to nap on.
About: Hello, My name is Tracey and I have grown up with pets my whole life. We had cats in my house as early as I can remember and I have always had a soft spot for them. When I was young I actually used to be a bit afraid of dogs until my two siblings begged and begged my mom to her wits end. She told me to pluck up and a few days later we came home with a sweet old black Pomeranian. Basil and I bonded like no other. From then I always helped pet care for my own family and for our neighbors. As well, one my siblings forayed into less common pet ownership, where I got to learn the basics of care for Guinea pigs, rats, lizards (hers had scoliosis), and even small snakes! Currently, I have one pet of my own - a sweet little three-legged cat who can charm his way into anyone’s heart. I have a lot of love to give for animals and want to help care for your pet like I hope someone would care for mine while I am gone! I am available any time of the day, any day of the week to help take care of your precious furry family! I have car for reliable transportation and can drive to any location for the job opportunity open. Currently I have an indoor cat and he does not go outside but has a litter box and more than enough toys to make him happy. With dogs I make sure that they are harness or on a lead before we go outside since I do not have a closed in front yard. If the pet I am sitting lives in a space with a fenced in yard I would let them out at the owners permission and make sure they were supervised. I also make sure not to let pets eat human food as many things are harmful and/or then could have allergies.
“Jamiyah house sat with my dogs for over a week in July (2022) and did a drop-in visit yesterday with very short notice from me. Her service was absolutely wonderful on both occasions. She was prompt, communicative, and it’s evident my dogs love her. I will continue to reach out to Iamiyah when I need a hand caring for my dogs.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've cared for countless animals, including those with additional needs. I am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pups who need medication administration. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter everywhere I have lived, giving me lots of experience in quickly getting acquainted with new pups and making friends with them. As a full-time student, I am always happy to have a pet to play with after my lectures. Having a happy furry friend to look forward to makes long days on campus much more bearable. Because of my class schedule, my availability varies day by day, but I have a minimum of 30 minutes each day to visit with pets! While visiting with your pet, I aim to ensure the safety of your pet and your home. I will follow all specific instructions (crating, doggy gates, etc.) and work tirelessly to keep your animal happy during my visit.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I can remember. I have experience dog sitting in highschool and working in a veterinary clinic while in college. I am currently enrolled at Clemson University, so I would have a limited availability to pet sit but I am super flexible and willing to adjust my time accordingly. I have a very friendly and playful dog who can keep your pet company and active! I have a dog park at my apartment complex and I love indoor and outdoor playing.
About: I love dogs more than anything and took care of my childhood dog for more than 11 years. I also have experience with dog walking. I recognize the love and attention dogs need and am more than happy to provide that. I am a college student with no outside responsibilities so my schedule is fairly free and flexible. I’m excited to help out whenever you need. When I’m around dogs I give them all my attention and love. Seeing them happy makes me happy and I’m thorough with taking care of them. I keep their routine consistent and follow all instructions given carefully. I will also send updates and treat your pet like family.
About: I have been caring for dogs, cats, horses, and hamsters since I was 10 years old. I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy forming a special bond with each one. I welcome pet owners to share as many details as they like, no matter how small, so I can ensure their pets feel safe and well cared for. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority. I’m a student at Clemson University with a hybrid schedule, so I’m free most days after 1 PM and have lots of flexibility on weekends. I’d be happy to work around your schedule and would love to chat to find a time that works best for you! When caring for a pet in their own home, I take a warm and caring approach to help them feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I can take dogs out for potty breaks, walks, and feed them on their regular schedule. If it’s best for them, I can also settle them back into their crate when I leave. I spend plenty of time playing, cuddling, and giving them all the attention they need while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the day with pictures and messages so you always know how your pet is doing!
About: Before I moved to College of Charleston I pet sat around my neighborhood for around 2 years. I also have 4 dogs at home including a foster dog currently and would love to meet y'all's furry friends because I don’t have an animal in my dorm currently! I can walk your doggies pretty much any time except for Wednesday's and Sunday's! typically on weekdays it’s after 12pm, and on Saturdays it’s all day! I take care of my animals with love. sticking to their schedule while involving the upmost playfulness and kindness. I will clean up after them, and like i would with my own dogs and cats put their safety and health first. If there was ever something to happen, immediately calling their owner and sticking by their 4 legged side!
About: With years of experience caring for pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own. My dog, adopted at 2 months old, is now 1 year old and I’ve trained her through all of puppyhood, and my cat is 4 years old, who I’ve cared for since she was 3 months old. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I walk and care for a dog for an elderly lady in my town multiple times a week. I also have experience with training dogs and providing attentive care for elderly pets, ensuring each one receives the special attention they need. My dedication and hands-on experience set me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. I currently work part-time and remotely with a very flexible work schedule. I am available almost every day to care for pets, and am very flexible with my hours. In my home or yours, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a pet-friendly, secure environment with constant supervision and plenty of affection. I follow all safety protocols, including secure leashes and harnesses for walks, and I ensure a clean, hazard-free space for your pet to explore and relax. Your pet will always receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs, ensuring a happy and stress-free experience. Trust that your furry friend is in capable and loving hands with me.
Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jessi was awesome. So friendly and quick to respond. Very thorough with her daily reports, and was so kind with dealing with our two ornery dogs! They warmed up to her quickly (for them!) and were very well taken care of by Jessi while we were out of town. We would love to have her back again in the future to take care of our animals while we are out of town!

Jeremy was so amazing with my three dogs! He was timely, professional and took so many pictures for me to enjoy. I am so grateful to have found someone who cares about my pups the way that I do! Would absolutely recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for the best care for their fluffy family members!
Elena was wonderful and took good care of my two boys. I got routine check-ins from her each time she came by and spent good quality time with them. She saved my skin before I was due to be on holiday for 2 weeks in Europe. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book her again to stay with my dogs.
