“I chose Lexie as my dogs sitter the first time I used Rover. I felt very comfortable with her during our first meeting. I appreciated how she took notes to make sure our baby would be safe in her care. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were out of town. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs. She is fantastic!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
“Whitney was amazing. She was so easy to work with. I felt at ease going on vacation leaving Denim with this family. I received lots of pictures and will definitely be booking again.”
“Sometimes there should be an option for more than 5 stars, and this is definitely one of them. Michael and his wife may just be the kindest couple I have ever met. They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and communicative. They live in a lovely and comfortable area and have such a beautiful home. My baby Simba completely loved his stay and was such a happy boy when I came to pick him up. I usually have a very difficult time with leaving my baby behind with anyone but I didn’t feel nearly as worried after drop off with Michael. I will absolutely be contacting him in the future any time I need a sitter, I couldn’t imagine Simba staying anywhere else.”
“Oz really enjoyed his stay with Debbie!! And, I enjoyed getting photos of him having fun with all his new “furiends”!! Debbie’s house will definitely be Oz’s home away from home. Thank you, Debbie, for taking such good care of my sweet boy!”
“Tommy is the best. We’ve used her for the last year to take care of our pup when we’re out of town. She’s very reliable and our pup has a great time every time. Very communicative with updates and photos the entire duration of our trip. Highly recommend her.”
“I was super nervous to leave my dog while going out of town without him for the first time but Rybecca was amazing. She made me feel so comfortable leaving him by sending me pictures every day. She walked him and he got to make new friends. Definitely would leave him with her again.”
“Kelly took fantastic care of my dog, Reba. He treated her just like she was his own puppy. My dog loves people more than anything so she had the greatest week getting to hang out in Kelly's store with him and help greet his customers. I really liked getting daily pictures and updates and was able to enjoy my vacation so much more being confident my dog was well cared for in my absence! I'd highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a dog sitter in Columbia!”

Madison was absolutely amazing with our dog Reacher, our (very large!) Anatolian Shepherd. From the start, she was professional and incredibly thoughtful. She took the time to understand Reacher’s temperament and needs, which gave us peace of mind. We received regular updates and photos, and it was clear Reacher was genuinely happy and relaxed which is not easy with a breed like his but Madison handled him with so much love.
Qais is the absolute best dog sitter I’ve used! He handled my dog’s unique issues with ease and kept me updated multiple times a day with many pictures and videos. It’s hard to trust someone with your pet but with Qais I had no worries after seeing how he treats and cares for the pets he watches. It’s like they are his own! Highly recommend.
Elise did an incredible job watching my dog, Marlowe. Marlowe recently had surgery on both knees and she was comfortable with all of his recovery precautions. She checked in daily with pictures and updates, was quick to respond to all my messages, and was extremely accommodating when the dates of my trip changed. This was our first time using Rover and she truly made it a wonderful experience. My dog was very happy during his stay with her. Elise is the best!
took my baby in last minute and he was so excited to meet someone new! he also made some very nice doggie friends along the way that he could play with as well. highly recommended☺️ also a really great communicator! Red will definitely want to visit again soon.
Aiko was awesome! We had a long stretch of time we needed to board our girl, Rhea, and right at a holiday too. She treated our dog like her own, and I got much loved updates and pictures. Rhea even had a weird adjustment period while there where she was being weird about her food, and Aiko was so accommodating and worked with me on ideas that could help. Rhea also got along with the other dogs boarding and Aiko’s dog, so I’d say she met some new play date buddies too 😊
Kylie watched over our dog Stanley while we took a vacation overseas to attend a family wedding. I was so nervous since we haven’t had to leave him since he started taking medications for his tummy. She was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs! She really made Stanley feel right at home in her space <3
Mariah is very professional and she took care of my puppy like it was her own! I loved how she sent me pictures and videos letting me know my little girl was doing just fine while I was away. Definitely recommend her and already have her booked for my next trip out of town!
