“Rochelle is AMAZING!! She watched 8 week old puppy and 6-year-old dog while we were on vacation. They were so loved and well taken care of that I had no worries. She sent us pictures and videos to show this how they were doing while we were away, which really helped out a lot! She was very good with communication and we had no worries the entire time we were gone! We will use her all the time even if it's just to let the dogs out or take them for a walk. We just love her!”

About: I work from home 100% of the time and I am able to give your pups the time and attention they need to be happy and comfortable while you're away. Your dog will be able to jump up on the couch and sleep in the bed, just no counter surfers! I have a large fenced backyard to play around and take potty breaks. I will never leave them unattended. I also have a crate if your pup needs a crate to feel confrontable in, sleep or take a snoozle in. I don’t charge extra for many common things. In fact snuggles, belly rubs, treats, play time, and walks all come for free and are encouraged, well not too many treats of course. I've had dogs my entire life. Currently I have 1 dog in the house, Rosie who is a 7 year old female beagle/boston terrier who gets along with everyone. I had another puppy who lived to be just shy of 16 year old, RIP my buddy :(, so I am also very familiar with the special needs and attention that comes along as they age. I’ll treat your dog just like they are one of my own! During the day they will most likely sit by my side as I work or they will go in the living room and watch tv or the outside world through our large window. Pups will get endless potty and play breaks outside each day as I often get board at work... Along with walks if they want, of course if it not rainy. I am 100% working from home. I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times but in general I do not allow pick-ups or drop-offs before 7:00am or after 10:00pm unless you coordinate with me in advance. If you’d like to book a reservation with me I encourage you to set up a meet & greet with me and my pets! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Dogs are allowed everywhere I am. I have a large fenced in yard and 1 in house dog, Rosie who is the sweetest 7 year old beagle/boston terrier. I have a wife, no children, no smoking. 100% WFH. I will not leave the house if you pet is staying with me.

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

“So glad I found Nora. She’s so sweet, and our dog is a good judge of character and loved her from the second she came to get her. You can tell she loves animals, especially dogs, and so glad we found her to walk our dog when we are unable.”

“She has been watching my dogs for several years and loves them like her own. She is warm and compassionate and excellent at communicating well.”

“Melissa is amazing with our 11 monrh old puppy and loves her like her own. Our hound mix, Zeana, is 11 months old. Melissa has been sitting for her her since we got her at just a couple of months. We highly recommend Melissa. Zeana is always excited to see her.”

About: Hello!! First I want to preface that I am new to Rover! With that being said, I have had pets all my life and have a great dane at home that I am currently working on tricks with. I also have a shiba/husky that is 3. I love dogs and have always been around them. I also have been around small pets like chinchillas, reptiles, cats etc. I am a CNA that works night shift (6:30-7am) 3 days a week. I will be able to take care of your pet however you need though! I am very flexible with my schedule! With my pets I feed them 3 times a day and let them out any time they need. The only time they’re in their cage is when i’m at work and no one home which is rare. When I am at work I have family that takes them out before they leave or they will sleep with my mom. I take them to dog parks and let them run around my backyard every time the weather is nice.

“Colton is awesome! This was his first walk with one of our pups and our pup adores him. Colton is super friendly, down to earth, and communicative. We couldn't have found someone better suited for us!”
