“Beatriz was so great with Zeus and Zoey. We wanted someone that would give them their undivided attention and she did just that. She also had a huge yard and patio area which is great for them to run around in. She sent us lots of pics and updates which I also appreciated. I’d definitely recommend trusting her with your pups and I would definitely use her again next time I go out of town.”

“Aiko is the best! Sometimes it can be hard for my puppy to get adjusted to someone new, but she felt at home with Aiko pretty quickly! When I picked her up the first time, she was content and well-rested. I really appreciate Aiko's communication with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”

“Hannah took care of Bella for us while we were away for Thanksgiving. Once we arrived and I handed over Bella stuff. Bella went right with Hannah without any looking back at me. Hannah sent us updates throughout the weekend. One was four beautiful pictures of Bella with a backdrop. The pictures were outstanding. Anyway I would recommend Hannah for anyone who needs her services.”

“Kathy took excellent care of our 2 dogs over the holiday weekend! They got lots of playtime and outside time, and they were both nice and tired by the time we picked them up! She sent a couple of pictures and a couple of updates. Just enough to let us know our dogs were doing well. One of my dogs is older with some arthritis, and she made sure he got all of his medicines and had a safe space to rest when he got tired out. Would definitely recommend!”

Isabela was great, Sent multiple pictures of our pup enjoying his stay with her. If you are coming down with your fur baby for graduation, this is your sitter.”

“Sebastian is the absolute best! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He was responsive from booking til pick-up. He consistently updated me and sent many pictures of my baby, Caesar. Caesar has daily topical medicine that must be administered and Sebastian had no problem applying it for me. I truly believe Caesar felt like he was at home while in Sebastian’s care. I will absolutely be using his services again.”

The communication was excellent throughout her stay, with regular updates and even a few pictures that put our minds at ease. Lexie truly went above and beyond to ensure Leia and Apollo were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It’s clear they treat every dog like family, and Leia and Apollo came home calm and content. Highly recommend their services and will absolutely use them again!”

About: I am very experienced in taking care of and managing many different types of animals. I’ve personally owned a Chow, a Cocker Spaniel, and have owned 4 Yorkies. I now own 2 pit bulls my girl Destiny and my boy Bentley. Destiny is very kind, trained, and has never been aggressive towards any other animal or person and same with Bentley as well. We love being outside and taking a lap around the neighborhood or taking a hike through the woods. I love animals and look forward to working with you and your pets! My animals eat once in the morning and once in the afternoon, I typically feed them 12 hours apart, so whatever time I feed them in the morning goes around the same time I feed them in the afternoon I typically let them out in the morning after they eat, and depending on the weather, I’ll let them stay out in the back for a while I have a fenced in backyard so they all can play together and when I leave, I typically will either crate whoever is visiting and put my animals in my room or leave them outside there’s never any unsupervised contact

We had a wonderful experience with Charmaine as Bentley's pet sitter! She took excellent care of Bentley, provided regular updates with photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that Bentley was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciate Charmaine's reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we look forward to booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Crane Forest home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Crane Forest.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Crane Forest sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
