“This is the first time I have used Rover and 5 stars is not enough for the great care Nicole gave Toby! She did an excellent job communicating from our first visit to the duration of our trip out of town. Loved the pictures and the updates. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”
“We are so thankful for the wonderful care our dog, Rudy, and guinea pigs received from Kade! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for and happy while we were away. Communication was excellent. He gave Rudy lots of attention at each of his drop-ins with walks, playing with toys, etc. He was also attentive to our guinea pigs. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!
“Kayla was so awesome and responsive with my cat! She went above and beyond while I was out of town for 10 days. I will definitely be hiring her again next time I’m out of town!”
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.
“Highly recommend! Charity was able to help with four last-minute drop-in visits and took wonderful care of my dog. Communication was great, I loved the updates and photos, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands.”
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!
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
“Wicked friendly and reliable. Super courteous woman who provides spectacular care for my pup. Emily is definitely worth reaching out to if you need any type of care for your pets!”
About: I'm a self-employed pet lover and dog sitter with lots of experience under my belt. I also work part time to make sure my family future is secure. While I don't have any dogs of my own, I will welcome yours with open arms and care for them as if they're mine! I live in a spacious, two story house and have ample room for your pet to play. My yard is fenced in and very secure. Since there are stairs in my house, dogs with hip or back problems may sleep downstairs. I keep a clean home. If it is a faint smell of dog pee, it’s because dogs do use the restroom on my carpet (I am a dog sitter and most dogs do so in my home, especially the “not so potty trained” ones). I make sure to clean up after every service rendered. Stays on day of pick up after 2 pm can occur additional fees. References are available upon request. About this sitter: I have been pet sitting for several years. I love all animals, especially dogs. I am self employed who work from home, which leaves me plenty of time to spend with your dog. I also have a part time job to make sure my family future is secure. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up around them and have been pet sitting for several years. About my yard I have a spacious, fenced-in backyard.
“Molly accommodated a last-minute request to visit with my dogs in my hotel room while I was working long days! She came for a meet-and-greet the night before. I loved that she sent photos and reports and I was relieved to know that she was there to break up their day. I would (and may) definitely hire her again the next time I'm in the area.”
“Katie was amazing with our two crazy dogs! She was kind and respectful to our house and our routine. She cleaned up an accident for us and she came over to meet the dogs prior to the drop ins, which is super important! I would love to use Katie again in the future and I highly recommend her!”
“Leanissa is great! Always leaves a lot of pictures and details about her time with Teddy. Her response time is quick. She does great with Teddy, making sure he goes potty and giving him lots of cuddles so he’s not sad when she leaves. I would highly recommend booking her!”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah, a freelance photographer based in Columbia. I offer dog walking, cat care and/or drop-in visits, with an emphasis on following your pet’s familiar routine and keeping you informed while you’re away. Over the course of the past 10 years, I’ve cared for my own husky, pit bull mix and three cats, gaining hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior cats. I’m comfortable with everyday care, including cleaning litter boxes, administering medication and keeping a close eye on pets’ comfort and wellbeing. For the past three years, I’ve also regularly looked after a client’s Cane Corso and Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. My experience has helped me appreciate that every animal has its own personality, routine and needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I aim to offer the same patience, attention and care that I would want for my own animals. My client-facing work has taught me the importance of punctuality, clear communication and following detailed instructions. I bring that same professional approach to every commitment, and I will take the time to understand your pet’s needs before agreeing to a booking. You can expect an update after each visit, including how your pet is doing and a few photographs. As a photographer, I enjoy capturing their personality—but their care, comfort and safety will always come first. In my spare time I love to volunteer with local dog shelters to take rescues on days out and take portraits of them to help in their adoption process. I work freelance and arrange pet-care bookings around my existing commitments. My usual availability is weekdays 10am-7pm within Columbia. I keep my calendar updated and confirm visit times before accepting a booking. Once a booking is agreed, I plan my schedule around the care we have arranged. Before a first booking, I like to have a conversation and discuss your pet’s routine, temperament and any particular needs. I’ll confirm feeding instructions, walking equipment, home access and emergency contacts, and be honest about whether I’m the right fit. During visits, I’ll follow the agreed care plan, respect your home and privacy, and contact you promptly about any concerns.
“Hannah was an absolute dream-come-true. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and thoughtful pet sitter. I really appreciated the report cards and photos she sent me. And, my cats adored her. Even the shy cats grew to appreciate her visits. I will always try to book with Hannah from now on.”

The care received by Nicole to my 2 cats was exceptional. I was able to be away and have the comfort of knowing my cats were very well cared for during my absence. I will 100% use the excellent service of Nicole in future visits to care for my 2 fur babies. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dixiana is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,106 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dixiana. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dixiana. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
