“Karen is a wonderful sitter! Finn absolutely loved going. He has been there twice now and she is great about sending fun pictures and videos to know he was doing well. She is very responsive and overall had a great experience using her to watch Finn.”
About: Hello, my name is Sara-Austin Young. My history of loving and caring for animals started when I was just 3 years old. I was raised in a home with cats,dogs, and horses. I do not think I could live without the presence of animals In my life. They have the sweetest souls. I promise to care for your pets just as I do my own sweet fur baby, Ramona Belle. One of my greatest joys in life is getting out and walking with them, playing with them, and of course all of the cuddles. I am a stay at home mom to 2 beautiful children, so I have flexibility in my schedule and am available to devote quality time to your pet! I’m a full-time stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to be with and play with your pet! My kids wake up at 6 AM and go to bed around 7 PM and aside from little one or two hour outings occasionally we are home with our fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and one very friendly pup to help keep your pet company, if they like! If your pup is more comfortable being created, sometimes we can do that too! Happy to feed on any kind of schedule and can handle medication management if needed! I promise to love and care for any animal that comes into my home like it was my own ♥️
“Hannah was very communicative during the booking process and throughout my dog’s stay with consistent photos and updates. My dog had just undergone minor surgery and she provided loving care while he was still on medication and sporting a cone.”
“Shireen is the best! She has a love for all animals and handles each one with patience, kindness, and love no matter the personality. My 2 drama queens are full of personality and occasional mischief yet Shireen never fails to go above and beyond! This is my 2nd time using her boarding services and I am officially a loyal client! Thanks for everything Shireen ❤️”

My mom owns a Golden Retriever who is over all the time at my house. I work a 9 to 5 with a very flexible schedule. Most weekends I am home as well I am working a full time job from 830 to 5pm but it is a very flexible schedule for me. I do not usually do anything on weekends. I love going for walks with my dogs and playing outside in the back yard a lot I treat and care for my own pets like they are my children. I will do the same for your dogs. They a routine potty breaks. I have a huge backyard they can all run and play around in.
“This was Roxie's 1st Rover experience after several sub-par boardings with a 'reputable' kennel. She had been coming home terrified, sick and lethargic. That said - Jaylin is very knowledgeable about Dogs, not just watching them. The meet and greet could not have been better, and Jaylin's own dogs served as a great model pack to assist with Roxie's puppy-like behaviors and high energy. Roxie came home happy and tired- and also stared longingly out the back window as we drove away from our 1st stay! 10/10 recommendation to anyone else who needs a trustworthy and reliable sitter. Roxie is looking forward to her next stay with Jaylin!”
“Nikki and her husband took great care of Archie. This was our first time leaving him, and she was super responsive and sent pictures and updates that made us feel at ease. We would definitely recommend and will rebook with her again in the future!”

“April was very accommodating and responsive to my needs. She sent multiple pics throughout the day (which were very adorable). My dog had a fun and safe place to stay while I visited relatives for the day.”
“Anna was amazing with my two girls. I myself was extremely anxious leaving my girls with a stranger, especially when I haven’t been away from one of them since I rescued her and wasn’t sure how she would be. Both also have attachment anxiety. Both warmed up to Anna and her husband almost instantly, and I felt comfort when I left them for a work trip. I got updates throughout the day, and pictures showing my girls having fun and relaxing. I highly recommend Anna, and will use her again in the future if I ever need someone to watch my girls for me.”
“Karen and Lucas were great with my pups! They spent a lot of time together, went on walks, and roamed the yard throughout the day getting plenty of time to be out and about or just chill and get scratches. She sent lots of pictures while I was away, and the pups came home happy!”
“Roman and Anna are amazing! We set up a meet and greet a few days before I went out of town. They kept my dog for four days. They sent pictures and updates every day. They took great care of him. They took him on walks and to the park. I highly recommend them.”
“If you’re looking for someone who treats your dogs like her own and gives them a fun, loving experience — book Mandy! We will 100% be using her again. Why did we love her? She truly lets dogs be dogs — and Khan and Flynn had an absolute blast under her care. Whether they were romping at the dog park, relaxing at her home, or out on fun walks, we could tell they were having the time of their lives. Mandy is incredibly flexible, fast to communicate, and went above and beyond to keep us updated. We got daily highlights of their adventures, complete with tons of adorable pictures and fun videos that made us smile every time. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were so well cared for, entertained, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dogs like family, look no further — Mandy is the best!”
“Andrea provided us with so many wonderful updates and photos during Finnegan's stay! She did a wonderful job at communicating during the stay and for pick up/drop off directions. We could not have asked for a better sitter while away, we wished we lived closer to book Andrea more often!”

Stephanie was absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ I get so anxious leaving my baby, but from the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease. She was such a great communicator and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, every day, which made such a huge difference. I was able to actually relax and enjoy my trip knowing Alphie was in such good hands. Stephanie has the sweetest personality and was an absolute joy to work with. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and Alphie had SO much fun with her. When I came to pick him up, he almost didn’t want to come home—which has NEVER happened before! 😂❤️ That alone tells me everything I need to know. I will absolutely be using Stephanie for all of my future dog-sitting needs. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. If I could give her a million stars, I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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 .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
