Top rated Columbia pet sitters

“Paulina is fantastic! Communication was great and she had no trouble giving our cat his daily thyroid medicine. Our cat is very shy and usually hides from strangers, so we were pleasantly surprised to see he felt so comfortable that he gave her some couch snuggles on the first visit. We would absolutely trust our cat in her care again!”


“I'm a first time Rover user so I was new to the process and a little apprehensive, but I had nothing to be concerned about- Autumn was amazing! We had a meet and greet with her before our trip and she immediately made us comfortable about leaving the care of our kitties to her. It's clear she loves animals and our two 9 year old kitties loved her visits while we were out of town. She took great care of them and was extremely communicative with us the entire time. I will definitely request her services again in the future!!”


“Azure was wonderful with our three cats! She was timely and excellent with communication. It was obvious that she was passionate about taking care of them. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”


“Camille took good care of my two cats and kept up excellent communication even working thru a small snafu with the system. Very professional care - thanks Camille!”


“Lizz was very attentive and tailored her cat sitting to our cats’ needs, as opposed to a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Lizz was very helpful with handling other miscellaneous requests around our house - unrelated to cat sitting. Lizz is very personable and friendly, and we felt very comfortable leaving her with our fur babies and access to our home. We will definitely request Lizz in the future!”


“Thank you so so much! My doggies were very pleased with their visit, as well as I! Kat responded to me promptly & helped me out in a difficult situation when I was out of town & my dogs needed to get outside for a potty & have a lil bit of fun with a friend. Absolutely fantastic & if I’m ever in need of a drop-in while in the BHAM area again, I’ll definitely be going with Kat!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Patricia was an amazing sitter for our cats! She was very attentive to their feeding routine. Each visit came with a thoughtful summary of how each cat was doing, plus adorable photos that really helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter on Rover! Matt & Jen”


“Katherine was great! She went above and beyond keeping my kitties comfortable while I was away. Very punctual, detail-oriented, and the level of communication was excellent.”


“Emily has cared for our chihuahua on a couple of occasions and we have always been so pleased with the service. Our dog isn’t the warmest with strangers but Emily puts her (and us) at ease.”

“I hired Natalie for seven visits to attend to my cat while I was gone for a long weekend. She was on time for each visits and sent me photographs of my cat Grey Cloud when she completed a half hour with him. He was fed and his litter box scooped as I instructed. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and it was well worth it.”


“Sonja is the best! I’m so happy I found her! She visited my cat pickles daily, took care of her AND did all of her favorite things every day. She sent a summary and pictures each day. Pickles herself gave Sonja a GLOWING review when we got home (14 out of 10). They are besties now. My kitty is so happy and comfortable and very well taken care of! I am so grateful my baby was in the best hands.”


“Stone was terrific!! The dogs immediately loved her from the first time they met her. We never worried about them in her care. She even took them for walks! She went above and beyond. We will definitely have her back again!”



“Deanna was great with my cat Henry! I loved her photos and appreciated the many updates while I was away. I could tell she really cared for him and I was glad to have someone so compassionate checking up on him. Plus Henry definitely liked her too! This was my first time using Rover and I’d strongly recommend Deanna and hope to use her again for future travel!”


“Flannery was really great with my 8 month old puppy! I felt comfortable and at ease with her caring for my pup. She seems very knowledgeable and experienced.”


“Audrey was fantastic with our two cats and chickens while we were away. Came back to happy, healthy animals and even got cute updates on them while we were out of town. 10/10 would recommend!”


“Menisha was so kind and sweet. She checked in on our little guy while we were away, felt good to know that someone who loves animals was taking care of him. Thank you!”



“Bale was very courteous in our home, and did a great job with our young German Shepherd. Definitely recommend her!”


“We had a great experience with Jess dropping in to check on our kitten while we were away. They gave detailed updates and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was doing well and not feeling lonely. We really appreciate their service and highly recommend them!”


“Marielle took such good care of our dog while we were out of town. He always looked so happy in the pictures. He is a little extra crazy being a 1yr old 80 pound puppy. So we are just grateful she could handle that crazy for us. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


“Very easy to communicate with and is very cooperative! This is our second time having her sit for us and we always appreciate the photos she’d take of our dog! Helps reassure our dog is safe and sound ? Our pet is definitely in good hands! We’ll definitely continue to see her! :)”
