“Karissa was absolutely amazing made the drop off and pick up very easy. This was Rivers first time with someone else that he didn’t know. She took amazing care of him. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Rene and Gary”


“Jenna was great with my doggo and accommodating with my last minute booking! She sent pictures throughout the day and my dog obviously had an enjoyable day! Thank you again!”


“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”


“I am so happy to have found Ashley! I felt/feel confident that Gloria had a fun day with her “friends” while we were out. She came home calm and content after a day of running around like a puppy should. We will be boarding soon as well, and I’m glad to know our puppy is in amazing care while we travel.”

“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”


About: Over 15 Years of Loving, Experienced Dog Care I’ve shared my life with dogs for more than 15 years, including special-needs and senior pups who need a little extra patience and love. I’m experienced in giving medications and making sure every dog feels safe and cared for. My home has a secure, fenced yard with no children, just space to run, sniff, and relax. I have two friendly dogs who love to play and would be thrilled to welcome a new friend for play and snuggle time. Whether your pup needs energetic play or a calm, cozy environment, they’ll feel right at home here. I work from home during the week, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog will never be left alone for long, and they’ll enjoy a consistent schedule with playtime in the fenced yard, and lots of snuggles in between. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised, and my secure fenced yard allows for safe outdoor play. I make sure fresh water is always available, follow any feeding or medication instructions exactly, and keep a clean, pet-friendly space with no hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own—keeping routines consistent, providing plenty of attention, and ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable until you return.

About: Through my years of pet care, I’ve learned that every critter has their own way of needing to be cared for and loved. I enjoy focusing on outdoor exercise and exploration. It’s a fun way to wear everyone out and meet all the needs for nap time. I currently work a full time remote job, so my schedule is very flexible. Boarding is easy to fit in to my daily schedule. In-house visits can be scheduled easily throughout the day. Let me know your situation and we can see what’s possible! I live on some land that allows for wide open ranging with safe boundaries from any roadway or neighborhood. I have a friendly dog myself, Roo (m/neutered), who gets along well with anyone who likes fetch as much as him. He is off leash with me on site everyday and tends to keep everyone within the established safe zones. However you need routine to look, I’m happy to accommodate.

About: As a professional dog trainer, I pride myself on being able to safely offer dogs opportunities they wouldn't get elsewhere. I am typically home all day everyday, but, when dogs are alone in the home they are kept safely crated in a monitored room. I can safely house reactive and aggressive dogs in the home and have experience handling such. For owners who are comfortable I also take dogs with me on local hiking trails often! Reach out and let’s talk dogs! Dogs and their care is my full time job! I am always doing something with or for a dog. Wether that’s training sessions, walks, hikes, or some form of enrichment, we are kept busy around here! Our home has a lovely backyard with a six-foot privacy fence, a splash pool for hot days, and lots of shade! I have a complete dog room set up in our sunroom. Dogs are allowed to be in our living spaces with us, but I do have my office and bedroom blocked off for my own doggies to take a break if needed.

About: We have always had animals in the home and have taken care of them since we were little . I have now worked as a foster mom for over 80 puppies this year alone for animal shelters . I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your animals at anytime . I can do day or night . We live on plenty of property and have loving fur babies to keep your babies company while in our care to play with all the time .


About: I have had either a dog or a cat since I was 3 years old. Currently I have one 12 year old dog, a new puppy and an 8 year old cat of my own. I have taken care of and sitted for lots of my friends animals when they are out of town. If they needed a sitter they knew to call me. I love all animals and treat other peoples pets like they are my own babies. I will take them on walks, snuggle them, lots of play time and love. Able to administer oral medication if needed. Also have experience with dogs with CHF as mine was diagnosed last year. Nice big fenced yard so they have room to roam and play. Available seven days a week. Available for short term or long term sitting. I’m a stay at home mama so my availability is open 7 days a week. I’m able to accommodate almost every scenario! Also available with little notice! Fenced yard with friendly cat and dogs to keep your fur baby company. My toddler loves all animals! Pet must be kid, dog and cat friendly if they stay here! I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am almost most days all day to care for your fur babies! I treat all pets like my own and your babies will be spoiled here! I do have two dogs that love to play as well as two kids under 5 and one cat. Your babies would need to be ok with other dogs, cat and children. I do require meet and greets to ensure that we would be a good fit! I look forward to snuggling your precious fur babies! I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your fur baby company! We do lots of running and playing around here! I’m also happy to keep the older dogs quiet and cuddled on the couch if they don’t have the energy to play!

About: I have taken care of my friends, family, and neighborhood animals for years now. I have a love for pets the way you would love them! I am currently pregnant and looking for a fun way to make some money during this time. I am available all day and can easily make your pets day and yours better! I plan on treating everything as if it were my own. I know time away from your animals can be tough, that’s why I am here to simplify it for you. I can’t wait to hang with your animals:))

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover since I was very young. Always took the initiative to care for them and have continued into my adults years. Looking to do this on rover to fulfill an opportunity to love on your pets without having to add them permanently to my home (it’s a problem- I would have a farm). Looking to do this to establish relationships with other pet families. I work from home. I am home almost all day everyday. I could be to your home at whatever time and needs you want. Happy to assist! I would love them as my own! They will never have a dry water bowl, they will get all the lovins they need and I look forward to walks and other adventures.

About: I love all dogs. I have had dogs since I was little and enjoy everything about them. My dog of 18 years passed away right before my son was born so we currently dont have any pets but we are anxiously awaiting our sons 2nd birthday to get the newest puppy addition to our family. We go on frequent outdoor walks in the parks and do lots of hiking. I can accomodate dogs with special care instructions and medical needs as well. Since I am a stay at home mom to my 18 month old son who adores dogs as much as I do, there will never be a dull moment for your dog. We offer loads of love, affection, playtime, treats if allowed, and of course fun.

About: Your pet will actually go outside with walks at the park or play time in the backyard instead of being with a sitter that's keeping them inside sleeping all day. I do independent work such as Uber or sell plasma + when requested so I have full-time availability. I can always do my other work when pets don't need someone to watch. Backyard is not fenced but large and a park is nearby. As long as the dogs are not heavy (that's why I don't dogsit "giant" dogs) then they will still get outside time. If the pets only need to be inside, the house is clean and with cameras for safety.
