About: Hello! I have been taking care of my close friends' animals for a few years now. My friends all trust me explicitly and know I will love their babies like they do. I've now been referred to so many people, I've decided to make it a full time side business. I would love to have a huge farm one day where I can rescue all the unwanted animals and give them the lives they deserve. I work from home so I can keep dogs all day during the week. I am in and out on weekends, so I can keep animals on weekends I am in town, as long as they are ok in a house with my dog or in their crate. I have a large, fenced in back yard, 1 friendly male Boykin, neutered. I allow animals to sleep on the bed with me and they are allowed on the couch. I walk my dog at least twice a day and usually take him to the park or beach on weekends. My boyfriend and I live together so he will be around as well.
“Jaime, was the best ever! She is very inviting, personable, and professional all while caring for our Hazel. Jaime, is also very accommodating as I made a last minute change. She sent us many pictures and messages letting us know how Hazel, was doing and what some of the day consist of. Hazel was treated so well, to which I believe she was being spoiled 😃 I definitely recommend using Jaime, when looking for a sitter to care for your family member. We couldn't be happier to have someone whenever we need to make arrangements, knowing that she will be looked after with love, dedication and no worries!”
“Kaylie and Johnathan took the best care of our Tuck. He was showered with love and all the treats. Kaylie was super communicative sending updates and pictures throughout the day. It really put our minds at ease knowing he was in a safe, loving home!”
“Kelsey is absolutely amazing and Remmy just loved her and Gizmo!!! I would highly recommend and will definitely be using her services again. She went above and beyond with Remmy and I just love that he’s so well taken care of when I needed someone to watch over him.”
“Sarah took excellent care of our dog! This was our first time leaving our dog, Stella, with anyone other than family/ friends. I’m so glad I found Sarah! Her home was so lovely and I appreciated getting pictures and videos of Stella playing / relaxing. We will definitely try to book with Stella the next time we’re in town.”
“We can't say enough good things about Jennifer! She took such wonderful care of Sydney, and it was clear how much she genuinely loves what she does. Sydney was relaxed, happy, and so well looked after the whole time, and it gave us complete peace of mind. We'll definitely book her again. Thank you, Jennifer”
“Katie was simply the best!!!! She took such incredible care of our little guy and we know he had a wonderful time with her. We will absolutely be repeat clients with Marshall's new bestie!!!!”
“Michelle and her family took such great care of Chowder! She had the cutest welcome sign waiting on the porch when we arrived! She sent photos and updates throughout the stay and was extremely kind and attentive.”
“Dom was wonderful to Marlin for a last minute booking. He kept me informed and sent multiple pictures. He even had a bedroom for just Marlin if needed. Can’t thank him enough for his love and attention he gave my dog!”
“Chloe was a wonderful sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Kona, on short notice after my original pet sitter canceled, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent plenty of updates, photos, and videos throughout Kona’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even took Kona and her own dog to the county park one morning! I would definitely recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter :)”
“Haley was an awesome sitter! I can tell Si really enjoyed his stay. She gave me daily updates and pictures. I would definitely book with Haley again! You can tell she really cares for animals and takes the time to make them feel at home😊”
“She will love and take care of your dog as if the dog was hers. My dog absolutely loved her. We will absolutely use her again. She also stayed in touch with us and responds very fast. Thank you again!!”
About: I have owned dogs & a cat for all my life! I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and attitudes. I have personally owned a gray cat, Yorkie, Rottweiler, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and a chocolate Lab. I have experience with all ages as well from puppies/kittens to elderly animals. I am currently in graduate school for my Master’s and do it online so I am home almost all day. Your pet will definitely get the one-on-one time they want and need. I love having an animal to keep me company! I live in an apartment but my complex has plenty of space to do walks and a fenced in yard for any dogs who want to run around. Personally, I also don’t mind animals who like to lay on the couch or chairs or similar furniture.
“I feel so lucky to have found Ruth! She is sweet, responsive, and caring. It felt like I left my dog with an old friend, not with a new sitter, I could not recommend her more!”
“Kristin is hands-down my #1 choice to watch Callie whenever I have to go out of town! Usually my dog is pretty low maintenance but during this stay she had some bonus special instructions due to a recent surgery. Kristin as usual, was understanding, provided numerous updates, and was patient with Callie (even though my dog was embracing being a diva 😅). Can't recommend Kristin enough!”
“Who was going to watch our pup fell through at the very last minute before we had to go out of town. Paul was so quick to respond and confirm caring for Peter. Another added detail is he was in recovery from an eye issue and needed extra love and care as he had medication and a cone. Once we got there, he showed the spaces that Peter was going to hang out in, made sure to fully understand any special instructions that were needed and while we were gone, took such good care of him. He would go out of his way every day to send an update with multiple photos. I never had to ask. Everything was so clean and nice and we were put at ease the whole trip knowing that he was in good hands. 100/10 would recommend, your pet will be taken such good care of!”
“Alison kept our 2.5yo dog for 6 days and we have nothing but great things to say about the experience. She was very accommodating to our schedules, communicative throughout the stay - including daily updates with photos and videos, and had all the right instincts about how to make sure our dog would have a fun and safe time with her dog and other dogs that she watches. We will absolutely be back. Thank you, Alison!”
“Thank you Amy for taking such a good care of our needy old lady even when she misbehaved ❣️ You were patient and resourceful and took correct action when needed. We'd feel very comfortable leaving Zoie with you again if there is need.”

Jesse did a great job with our 2 pups. He was very accommodating with drop off and pick up - especially when we had to extend the stay a night due to flight delays. The dogs came home happy and well cared for and we received updates throughout their stay. Would book again!
Grace was wonderful! I was very nervous about leaving our 4 month old puppy, but Grace took great care of him. She took him on lots of walks and kept him active. She also sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how things were going. Would highly recommend her!
Sarah was amazing! She was punctual for our meet and greet, kept me updated throughout Hank’s stay, and sent me lots of photos, which I really appreciated. Hank was very well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Her dog is also the sweetest and got along great with Hank! I would definitely recommend Sarah and would happily book with her again!
Jeremiah was WONDERFUL!!! He was so kind and loving towards Tundra. He sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. He loved Tundra like his own and took him on multiple trips to the beach as well as plenty of walks throughout the day. Tundra had the best time playing with his dogs, we thought he might not want to come home! Would absolutely recommend!
Jenn took such good care of Sydney, our second time booking her and she's fantastic. She sent pictures and regular updates throughout, which we really appreciated. Sydney came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Jenn is so good with dogs, we never worry for a second when Sydney's with her.
Emma was the best with Sadie! I was worried about Sadie’s anxiety and a weekend away as we just moved to town, but Emma made sure Sadie felt welcomed and loved! Her roommates and teammates were an added bonus, such sweet girls! Definitely will be rebooking her for Sadie on my next trip!
William was amazing! He took my dog in last minute when she got sick right before a vacation. He gave her the proper medicines, kept me informed all throughout my trip and sent lots of pictures along. I can tell she bonded with him so much and it made me relax while I was away. I would absolutely recommend him to watch anyone’s dog! Thank you again William!!

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 .
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.

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