Dog Sitting Columbia

“We are so lucky to have Grace walk and spend time with our dog Teddy! She is extremely thoughtful, responsible, and a great communicator. She clearly loves animals and is committed to taking excellent care of them. Couldn’t recommend her services more highly.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life and am also very comfortable caring for cats. I have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, bathing, and keeping pets on their usual routines. My own dog requires a little extra care, which has given me experience with pets who have special needs. I regularly manage multiple medications, help with mobility by carrying my dog up and down stairs, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe throughout the day. Because of this, I understand that some pets need a little more patience, attention, or assistance than others. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I also have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ll always follow your instructions and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their usual walks, giving medications, or keeping up with any special care they need. I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!

About: I have been around animals since I was a young kid and have been taking care of other animals whenever needed! I love to play and hang out with all of them! I am in school but have a pretty flexible schedule everyday but mondays! I am able to fit in maybe a quick walk or visit on Mondays but the rest of the week I am more open for walks/playtime/sittings. I love to play with the animals but also make sure they are watched at all times and fed and watered according to instructions! I will keep dogs always on a leash and in a safe manner.

About: (My legal name is Lauren, but I go by Alex, Rover won’t let me change it - so if you see my reviews and they all say Alex that is why) I have been caring for other’s pets for many years and have repeat clients because I treat their animal as if they are my own! I work full time during the week but have plenty of time after work/on the weekends to be fully invested in the well being of your pet. I have the sweetest puppy (almost a year old) at home who loves to play with other dogs. She is up to date on all her vaccinations, as we take her to off leash dog parks/daycare on a regular basis that require those records. I also have an 8 year old cat at home who keeps to herself.

About: I have grown up and taken care of dogs all my life! I have always lived with multiple dogs, and have even rescued 2! I love big and small dogs, I have experience with training, walking big dogs (pitbulls, labs, etc.), administering insulin, and dealing with dogs with epilepsy! One of my pups had diabetes, dementia, epilepsy, and anxiety, so I am well prepared for anything of that nature! I often pet sit for neighbors and friends for dogs of all different breeds! I’ve taken care of puppies, to toddlers, to senior dogs! I’m currently a student at USC, and take all my classes in the morning, so I basically have a free schedule after 1pm almost every day of the week! Weekends are more convenient for boarding, but I would still be able to make boarding during the week work as well! I also have gaps in my schedule, so during the week I am able to stop by throughout the morning to take care of your pups! I currently live in an apartment complex, so I do not have a yard for any pups, but I am able to take them outside on walks! We are allowed to have animals here so if need be I could have a dog stay with me, however I do not have any proper supplies for them in my apartment, and would need to be provided with such.

About: I have grown up with dogs and have years of experience in caring for them. I have been a volunteer for pet rescues for 5 years . I am experienced with all types or dogs either it be breeds of all ages and temperaments. I am a college student at USC here to you with help any of your dog or pups needs, so I have very open availability. I have a fenced in yard and have three friendly fur babies to keep your pup company if dog sitting is needed, and a crate.

About: Hi! I'm a college student from Charleston with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently live on a farm, so I'm comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, including small and large dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows, and more. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with Pit Bulls, and I now have my own Cane Corso named Marley, as well as 3 cats, Mochi, Casper, and Stormy. Because of that, I'm confident handling dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've been pet sitting and babysitting since I was 14 years old. Whether it's family, friends, or neighbors, people have trusted me for years to feed, walk, play with, and most importantly, keep their pets safe and loved while they're away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I'll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, being that I am a college student. I get out of school at 11 am and go in at 8 am, which means the rest of my day, or the early mornings, can be dedicated to your furry friend. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'll also make sure they always have fresh water, clean up after them, and keep your home tidy and secure. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I'll treat each with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up around pups all my life, and have a fur baby of my own! I also have been a dog groomer for about 5 years so dogs have been a part of my daily life for quite some time! During the day I work at the grooming salon and usually have free time after 3:30. Occasionally I may stay an hour or two later depending on how busy the day was! I’m free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and every other Sunday! I strive to be very attentive, and can accommodate any way I can popping in and out for your fur babies! I can also take trips to grab items, food, or anything else that may be needed!

“Owein is my go to sitter for taking care of my two pugs! He really came through in a pinch with a last minute booking the day beforehand with an unexpected need for a sitter. My dogs absolutely adore him and he always gives them such nice thorough walks. I will definitely continue to have Owein watch my pups in the future whether I am on vacation or need help with them being walked during the day. Thanks so much!”

About: I’m a local professional who is happy to work with you to meet your pets needs! I love animals, and strive to bring your beloved pets (and you!) the best experience I can while you’re away. My experience with different species is as follows: Cats: I’ve owned and fostered cats from a young age, and am largely comfortable handling most services for them. I have experience with socializing semi-feral cats, providing medication (no vaccinations, IVs, etc. please), even basic trick training! It’s my pleasure to make sure your cat is attended to, and will go above and beyond to meet your cats needs. My rescue, Doodle, is my pride and joy and I aim to provide the same level of care I hope someone would for them. Dogs: I have experience with all types of breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitt Bulls to Pointers. I have several clients that are in the process of puppy training and manners training and can accommodate this during stays. I love every minute of my time with dogs and treat each client as if they were my own! Farm Animals: I’ve ridden and helped provide care for horses from the age of 4. I’m comfortable feeding, mucking, watering, helping with turn-in and out, etc. I have previous experience as a working student. Experience caring for pig, goats, cows, ducks, ducklings, chicks, and chickens. Able to provide care for other species as well, with instruction. Reptiles: I’ve personally owned and cared for a bearded dragon, and assisted in the care for axolotls, geckos, and small snakes. I am unable to feed live mice. Have an animal I haven’t listed yet? I’m still available! With experience from cats to turtles to fish to horses, I’m confident I’ll be able to meet your needs. It would be my pleasure to walk, visit, and care for your furry/scaly/best friend. I work full time in the area, but Rover because of my love for supporting animals and their families! I’m able to support both sits and drop ins, with drop ins outside of 8-5 during the week (with some flexibility over lunch hours), and sits through the week so long as your animal is capable of being alone up to 5 hours. Friday evening through Sunday I am available to provide constant care for your pet! Respect for your property is of utmost importance when caring for your animals. I will leave your place in a better condition as when I arrived, and have references that will attest to this. I am fine with property surveillance inside and outside as long as cameras are disclosed.

“Isabel went above and beyond taking care of my stubborn but loveable senior aged dog! Even using her own tricks to make sure that Della ate her vitamins. The communication was great and gave me so much comfort as I have been traveling.”

“Tamera was amazing. I made a mistake and booked a week earlier than meant to and she was able to come by the same day. Super quick to reply and helped me with booking stuff because it was my first time using rover. My shy cat seemed to like her as well! Usually she hides from new people but Tamera was special”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!

About: My dog is my child and I will make sure your pet is treated like family. I have lived with a dog for as long as I can remember. I had a Shih tzu growing up which gave me experience with a smaller dog and now I have a 6 year old pitbull boxer that is 45lbs of pure love and energy. I have lived in a house where 3 different breeds and ages of dogs lived together, so I have experience in all kinds of combinations of dog scenarios. As a dog owner, I understand the stress of leaving your best friend behind and needing care, let me take that stress so you can worry only about what you had to leave for I work full time, but I can do drop in visits or dog walking anytime after 5, and before 8 on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I live in a house with my dog Pacho who gets plenty of exercise and my philosophy is to treat your pups like they are mine. I love to just be with dogs and let them have some exercise

“Lili did an excellent job with drop in visits for Layla. She completed the report cards and included pictures every visit, and had come over for a meet and greet ahead of time. Layla can take awhile to warm up to new people and Lili was up for the challenge and quickly made friends with Layla. I would definitely recommend Lili and will definitely hire her again in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Lyndsey, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs since 2017 as a full-time dog groomer. Caring for animals is something I do every day, and I have experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has unique needs. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. My professional grooming experience has taught me how to safely handle nervous, shy, excited, and high-energy pets while helping them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important routines are to pets, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time as a dog groomer Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Because of my schedule, I am best suited for morning visits, evening visits, overnight stays, weekend care, and holiday care. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away I’m a full time dog groomer, currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am still able to drop morning or afternoon drop ins also overnights as needed I care for 4 dogs and 2 cats who have their own schedules. I also bring one of my dogs to work with me everyday

“Deborah was great with our dogs! She has such a kind, calm demeanor and connected right away with our dogs. She was punctual, sent lots of pictures, & provided thorough updates. I would definitely recommend her and we will be booking with her again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and ages my entire life. My grandparents had a farm with 10-15 rescues at a time. I’ve had jack russles, Great Danes, labs, & pitties. I’ve been dog sitting all ages and sizes since I was 10 (cats too!) I also have experience with aggressive / reactive dogs and know how to keep them comfortable especially on walks. I am a helicopter dog mom and super particular about how my dogs are taken care of and I will be that way with your dogs too! I work Monday-Thursday with a super flexible schedule so I’m available most weekends and sometimes during the week for drop ins and dog walks. I have a 11 year old and 1 year old dog so I am used to stricter instructions and think it’s super important to follow them for the dogs safety and well being!

About: I've cared for, volunteered, rescued, & rehabilitated pets & wildlife for most of my life. My children have also learned by helping me. I have volunteered for the ASPCA with neonatal kittens & with Keeper of the Wild with more animals than I can list. I've had dogs and cats as pets but currently only have two domestic pet rats. I have a part-time job & also do gig work as a stage hand & as a network technician. I have a lot of availability in between. I have 3 children. My daughter lives on her own & my two sons are still at home. They're 16 & 13 & also love animals. My youngest is homeschooled & might enjoy tagging along & helping. I nurture all of the needs that any animal has, including the necessities. I care about all of the pet owner's requests & give lots of love.
