“Aleksandra was fantastic! I was in town for a day trip, needed coverage for my medical needs dog, she kept me up-to-date with pictures and details. Really appreciate the extra coverage and peace of mind!”


“Halle was extremely responsible and attentive to Cooper and Milo and as an added bonus, took fantastic pictures which she sent us regularly to let us know all was well. Our house can be a little tricky to take care of and Halle was a real trooper when learning everything. I highly recommend her and plan to book her first when we need house/ pet sitting again..”


“What can you say about Vanessa besides the fact that she is amazing. On less than a day’s notice, she was kind enough to do a meet and greet and then house sit my pup for the week. Vanessa is extremely communicative and helpful. You’ll never have to guess about the status of your pup or home when she’s around. I felt extremely comfortable with her in my home and she even left it cleaner than she found it. I would recommend Vanessa to all of my friends and book her services again any time.”

“Darya was great for our second house sit with her, just like the first time. Left everything very clean and tidy, took our dog to the park to get some exercise. Animals happy and healthy on our return. My return flight was delayed and she was flexible and accommodating”

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, including fostering both well-behaved and troubled dogs, rescuing and transporting deaf dogs, and organizing neighborhood doggy dates. Additionally I provide pet sitting for family and friends, and participate actively in the local pet community with my two beautiful dogs. As I establish myself here on Rover, I am happy to accommodate the needs of your pet and family. Open communication is a must for reliability and for the best care of your furry friend! As we start this journey together, I would prefer to care for you dog(s) in the environment they feel most safe in. Any further services may be discussed as needed.
“Sarah was amazing with Junie! She was very attentive and gave great updates with photos every day. There were fireworks while we were gone, which Junie hates, so Sarah let me know that Junie had a rough night but she sat with her and tried to get her to calm until Junie eventually slept beside Sarah in bed. Sarah also took great care of our house. It was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house.”

“Crystal is absolutely fantastic! She recently took care of our home, dog, and cat, and we couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care. Our dog, who can be a bit shy with new people, has buddied up to her. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while I was away. Not only did she ensure our animals were happy, healthy, but she also went above and beyond to keep my house spotless and organized. It was such a relief to come home to a clean space and happy fur babies. Crystal is trustworthy, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can depend on!”

“My old dog Frank enjoyed having Vanessa/Arlett stay with him. She was so nice and responsible, and sent multiple pictures each day and let me know how he was doing. She followed my instructions, and asked how to modify things when needed. I know Frank would be happy to see her again!”

“Mara is incredible! She was a fantastic sitter for my pup, bringing him on adventures and taking great care of him! She was so patient with my nervous boy, which end in him giving her all of the snuggles. Mara kept me updated with photos and end of the day updates that made me feel so comfortable even though I was so far away. I will definitely utilize Mara’s services again, and I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter :)”


“Vanessa was absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️ She kept us updated with lots of pictures, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared for our pets. 🥹 It truly felt like she loved them just as much as we do. She has such a big heart, and knowing she also volunteers with the Humane Society says so much about the kind of person she is. 🐶🐱💕 Our pets were happy, well cared for, and so loved. You can’t go wrong booking Vanessa. She is truly fantastic! ⭐️”


“Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”


“This was my first time using Rover, and it was also my girls' first time being watched by someone they didn't know, so I was definitely a little nervous. Anita was incredibly quick to respond to my messages and was so flexible when we were running behind schedule on the day of our booking. From the moment we met her, she made me feel completely at ease. Our pups absolutely LOVED her! Anita was wonderful about keeping me updated throughout the evening with messages and photos, and it was obvious our girls were having the best time. Our little one is still a puppy and can be pretty timid while she's figuring out the world around her, but with Anita she looked so comfortable, happy, and confident. She even lost her FIRST TOOTH while Anita was watching her! Anita actually saved it for me, and I was so incredibly grateful because I've never experienced that milestone with a dog before. It meant so much to me that she thought to do that. Overall, we had the best experience, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better first Rover booking. I can't wait to book with Anita again whenever we're in the area. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our girls—you were absolutely AMAZING! ❤️🐾”


“Valeria was absolutely wonderful! My pup settled in quickly and looked completely at home in her care and she kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay. She was also incredibly accommodating as plans changed and went above and beyond to help make sure Beau was safe, comfortable, and well cared for.”
“Evelyn was so amazing and did such a great job watching our girl Ryan! She sent so many photos and updates - I never had to worry and knew she was getting well taken care of. It made us enjoy our trip that much more! Thank you again Evelyn!”


“Sarah was an excellent dog and house sitter. We left for 10 days and felt completely comfortable and at ease with Sarah being with our two dogs. She provided regular updates, gave them snuggles, played with them and was great watering our plants while we were away to keep the house nice. Our dogs love her so it was a match made in heaven!”

“Kristin is incredible! My dog is obsessed with her. Onyx is so excited when she comes to stay with him. She’s great at communicating and sends so many pics, I never have to worry when I’m traveling. She’s responsible and reliable, absolutely book her!”

About: I have always been an animal lover. Since I grew up I have been surrounded by pets. I will take care of your cat and dog like they are my own. I have an open schedule during day and night and weekends. We can always coordinate a convenient schedule. I am very flexible and will work upon my clients needs. I will make sure to comply with all the instructions given by the parents. If the pet has a special need or has special food I will make sure everything is well taken care off.
About: Dogs have always gravitated toward me — friends joke that I’m a bit of a “dog whisperer.” I love getting to know every pup’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog wants long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm companion, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work in film, and currently unemployed so I have a lot of time on my hands and would love to support families and their pups. I have open availability, and weekends can be negotiated. I will create a comfy environment for the pet in their own home. Having their toys, and favorite treats. I’m only able to be with the dog in their own space as my apartment complex doesn’t allow.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Columbia is $63

Kelly was wonderful and we are so grateful we found her. She was quick to respond and available last minute, which we really appreciated. This was our first time leaving our dog, so it was incredibly stressful for us. Kelly did an amazing job taking care of our girl and helping us feel more comfortable while we were away. My husband and I both work from home, so our dog is used to having us around most of the day and is not used to being alone for long periods. Kelly made sure to adapt to our dog’s schedule, routine, and needs. She sent us pictures and videos, which really helped reassure us that our dog was doing well. Kelly was flexible, attentive, and very caring toward both our dog’s needs and our concerns as anxious pet parents. Seeing how well our dog did with her gave us so much peace of mind. We are very glad we found Kelly and would definitely ask her to take care of our girl again in the future.

I was going for a brief trip out of town and Elijah was responsive and ready to help. After he came for a meet and greet with my dog, I felt confident leaving her with him. Throughout the trip, Elijah provided updates and pics. House was the same as when I left. Would definitely book again.

Our family was in a huge pinch after our puppy needed surgery 5 days before we were scheduled for a long-planned family trip. Ilana was willing to step in and provide care in a very challenging situation. We felt comfortable leaving after meeting her...and she was exceptionally kind and patient and diligent about sending us updates throughout her stay. Even with restless nights and extra cleaning, we always knew the dogs were safe and being cared for as much as possible. Would recommend her without reservation, and hope to use her again in the future under happier and healthier circumstances.

Austin house sit for us for 6 days to take care of our Mini Schnauzer. I can tell she really likes him and that's what matters most! He's friendly, sent photos each day, and kept our home clean. We have already booked him again for some upcoming walks. We will definitely request him again for future doggy care needs.

Sarah was awesome! She watched our dog and cat for 10 nights and you could tell they were more than comfortable with her. She made them feel very loved and she was exceptionally helpful with our dog who has bad anxiety with fireworks. She was extremely communicative and sent great pictures and updates. She even helped water all of our plants and the house was just as clean as we left it. We will definitely use Sarah again!

Andrea was absolutely incredible! My dog has extreme separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make him feel safe and comfortable. She stepped in at the last minute over a holiday weekend, completely saving us when we needed help most. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and sent frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She treated my dog like her own, was incredibly responsible, kept everything clean, and was always willing to help in any way she could. Andrea truly exceeded every expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable. We are so grateful for her and will definitely book with her again!

Mara was amazing. In our initial meet and greet she asked such thoughtful questions that left us feeling very comfortable with her ability to keep our pups safe while we were gone. She was very communicative and took the cutest pictures. We’d love to have her back!

Abigail was an amazing Rover - highly recommend. This was our first time using Rover and she did a great job educating on how the process works. She requested a meet and greet beforehand which was amazing for us both. We have a 6 month golden retriever who is still very much in puppy phase, Abigail was really patient and attentive. She stayed at our house so our dog had minimal change - we appreciated the in home care, somewhat last minute. Abigail sent multiple photos and videos a day, putting our mind at ease. She was extremely communicative and 10/10 to work with + our puppy seemed to love her. Recommend to anyone needed a Rover, will absolutely be booking her again!

Vanessa was absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️ She kept us updated with lots of pictures, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared for our pets. 🥹 It truly felt like she loved them just as much as we do. She has such a big heart, and knowing she also volunteers with the Humane Society says so much about the kind of person she is. 🐶🐱💕 Our pets were happy, well cared for, and so loved. You can’t go wrong booking Vanessa. She is truly fantastic! ⭐️

Yulissa was so friendly and competent and did a great job sitting for my two huskies! She gave me plenty of updates and pictures and made sure they got as much exercise as they needed, would definitely book her again and recommend her for anyone’s dog sitting/dog walking needs!

Halle was punctual, very communicative and thoughtful during her stay with our puppy. She left our home clean and bed sheets freshly washed, she took great care of our pup sending multiple updates per day and taking her on multiple walks. We would love to have Halle again next time.
