“Nicole is so great!! She responded quickly to my last-minute booking request, which was such a relief for me! She was also flexible when I had to make some changes to my booking. Her communication was great as well! She was always on time and left very detailed reports after every visit. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely rebook with her if I need a sitter in the future!”
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.
“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 grown up around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. I currently have one cat with me at college and three more waiting for me at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I volunteer with the Humane Society and a local cat rescue, Comfort Cats, where I help care for cats in need. I am also Fear Free Certified, which means I prioritize reducing stress and creating a safe, positive experience for every pet. I’m currently on the pre-veterinary track in college, and my passion for animal health and welfare continues to grow every day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I also work at a animal rescue by the name of Final Victory in Columbia! I am currently a full-time college student, but I make it a priority to provide dependable care for every pet I work with. My class schedule allows me to be flexible throughout the week, and I have even more availability on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to follow your instructions and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. As a Fear Free Certified caregiver and pre-veterinary student, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress and provide calm, compassionate care. I will treat both your pets and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I currently own two Labrador Retrievers, a Golden Retriever, and a Poodle, which has given me valuable experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly help my grandmother care for her five Newfoundland dogs, so I’m comfortable handling large breeds and managing multiple dogs at once. I understand the importance of exercise, safety, patience, and positive interactions, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a full-time college student, and I also work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Since I’m home for a good portion of the day, I’m able to give your dogs plenty of attention, take them outside regularly, go on walks, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. My schedule allows me to work around each dog’s normal routine, whether that means feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy being around dogs and would treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I’ll follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any other special needs. Since I work part-time from home and have a flexible school schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for. Whether I’m watching them in my home or staying at a client’s home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.
“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”
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!
“Our dogs, Sammy and Bentley loved Jennifer P! They had a wonderful time together on the drop in visits. She came at the requested times, took care of them, gave a report and pics after each visit. Great job! We felt confident being out of town with Jennifer caring for our dogs . thank you!!”
“We honestly can’t say enough good things about Gabrielle! She’s patient, kind, and just “gets” them in a way that puts us completely at ease. She’s always on time, super consistent, and quick to respond. Our dogs adore her, and so do we!”
“Layla has cared for our two cats and dog several times and she is simply THE BEST. She has a very patient demeanor that our animals love. She is responsible, easy to communicate with, and I would recommend her to anyone for their pet care or house sitting needs.”

“Molly was fantastic! She seemed to really enjoy spending time with my cats, even if only one of them is a social creature. She provided great daily updates and even went the extra mile when some ants popped up around the food bowls. I’ve already booked with her again!”
About: I love caring for animals and I've taken care of many kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. I've had dogs with extra needs (emotional & physical) and senior dogs for many years and I'm happy to help with any needs your pup(s) may have. I love to make simple homemade plant-based treats from scratch and will be happy to share some with your babies too! (with your permission) If your pup has their own favorite treats, of course I'd be happy to share those as well. My dogs have always been my world and I know yours are just as special to you, so when they're in my care they'll be loved just like my own. My schedule is very flexible and I'm free most weekdays and weekends. We can go for strolls around my quiet neighborhood and play outside. Or we can hang out inside and play or just relax; whatever their hearts desire, I'll do my best to make it happen for them. I have a large fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room to run and play. All dogs are fed separately to help ensure their safety (exceptions can be made for dogs from the same household who are accustomed to eating together, granted there are no other dogs around). I have plenty of space in the home to allow everyone their own space if needed. I'll be sending you updates and photos of your fur babies throughout their stay.
“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have dog sat before. I just moved to the area for work and am trying keep my love of being around animals by providing care to the Columbia/Charleston areas! I love being outdoors and always would bring my dogs on the journey! I’m currently working full-time at Nephron Pharmaceuticals in West Columbia from 8-5. I am available in morning between 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. or anytime after 5:30 p.m. during the week. On weekends I am very flexible! I can be in the Columbia area or in Charleston. I do live in an apartment so there is not much space and my roommate does have a cat who is calm. I will provide the best care to your pets as if they were my own. I love being outdoors and going to parks such as Owen’s, Finley, and the riverwalk. At your home, I can change diapers and make sure crates/fences are affective if being used.
“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!”

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
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
