About: Hi! My name is Lauren and I’m looking to cat sit anytime and dog sit Friday-Sunday. I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with over five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, responsible hands. As a PhD student, my schedule can vary from week to week depending on classes, research, and clinical responsibilities. I’m happy to discuss my availability once you know your travel dates, and I’ll always be upfront about what I can accommodate. I’ll do my best to provide reliable, flexible care that fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and gentle care while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet as if they were my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how they are doing and enjoy peace of mind throughout your trip.

About: I have been around all sorts of animals my entire life! I love taking care of pets and getting to know them! I am happy to administer medications and cater to special circumstances. I currently am an occupational therapist between contracts, so I am free at all times for your pet sitting needs! I can be there from early morning to late at night. I also can do overnight visits! I love all animals and will treat them like my own. Every pet deserves the best care possible, and I am more than happy to provide it!

“Teresa is wonderful with my elderly girl, Maggie. She watches her to know how she is doing and alters her walks to accommodate Maggie. She’s so loving and caring with her!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have experience caring for family pets on a daily basis. Through feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and companionship, I’ve learned how to understand dogs’ needs and make them feel comfortable and safe. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends dogs on multiple occasions. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to treating every pet with the same care and patience I give my own dogs. I’m currently a college student with a part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. When I’m not in class or at work, I’m usually home and available for walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I’ll always communicate my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them plenty of attention. I grew up with dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for them and know that every pet is different. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Beverly was great! We really appreciate how she worked on our dog’s leash reactivity.”

“Jeffrey was a very dependable dog walker; walked and fed and watered our dogs on schedule; we would recommend him to others. We received text messages and photos for each of his 16 walks - twice a day for 8 days.”

“Karina was very responsive and available last minute! Teddy was very well taken care of and look forward to the next time she can come visit Teddy!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for cats, dogs, and even chickens! Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and have experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and care needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. No matter what, pet care is always a priority in my routine! My days naturally revolve around caring for my own two dogs, and I intentionally plan my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My current schedule gives me extra flexibility and free time, which means more walks, playtime, cuddles, and one on one attention for your pet. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. If boarding at my house, I live with my boyfriend who also has a relatively flexible schedule and can provide care during any hours that I may be away. In my home, pets are treated like family! I have a large yard for playtime, two friendly dogs who love having company, and plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained. I always make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and love while they’re with me. I’m comfortable accommodating different needs and routines, whether that means crating your dog, sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, or giving them extra one on one attention. If your dog is used to snuggling up at night, they’re more than welcome to sleep in bed with us and our pups! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I will follow any house rules, schedules, or care instructions you have to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. I love going on walks and am always happy to take dogs on adventures, get in plenty of playtime, or simply provide companionship and cuddles based on their personality and needs.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 4 years and have experience caring for pets with special medical needs. My own dog has separation anxiety, depression, and receives injections at home, so I’m comfortable with extra care and medication. I’ve also cared for my cousin’s dog with epilepsy, including administering medication and staying calm during seizures. I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality and treat each one like they’re my own. I’m a student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’d love to start by offering dog walks and drop-in visits, and I’m also happy to provide pet sitting as needed. I always do my best to work around each family’s schedule and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have reliable transportation throughout Columbia, pay close attention to routines and instructions, and always provide a calm, caring environment. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Johann is the absolute BEST!!!!!! Very good with dog King. Always on time. Very professional and trustworthy. King always has an amazing time with Johann.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of animals my whole life. I’ve had many dogs throughout the years, have watched friends/neighbors dogs for years, and this summer I started working for “At Your Pets Service” of Oakleaf. I am a college student home from summer who works for a pet sitting company so I have a flexible schedule. I typically know my schedule for the week a week in advance and it normally varies, but I always have time in between visits. I have a fenced yard and good sized tile living room. I currently work for a pet sitting company so I am comfortable of taking care of clients houses.

About: I have had dogs all my life and I got my second dog from volunteering from shelter. I love all animals and love having play dates. I am a graduated nursing student who still loves taking care of dogs. Having two of my own makes my day when I come home. I am currently home most days due to graduating and will be starting my nursing career in December. I work on campus two days a week for 5 hrs per day with a grant funded program. My dogs stay uncaged in my home and i let them out multiple times a day. I have classes mon-wed. My dogs are spoiled and have plenty of snacks and play dates with my friend's dog.

“Dog came back tired out. Will rebook. 👍”

“What a find in Chad! All the reviews about how wonderful he is are spot on. Chad jumped right in and went above and beyond. I never worried a moment I was gone with Penny in his capable hands. Thank you!. Thank you!”

Lesley G.

“This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs, big and small, for over 8 years! I do overnight stays to simply taking dogs on walks and for potty breaks! I will treat your dogs with all of the same love and energy! I am currently a Senior at UofSC and my schedule is very flexible as I am home in Charleston for the summer! I am working on getting my Real Estate license so I don’t have a solid schedule right now. I know you will be missing your pet while you are away and your pet will be missing you, so I want to make sure they feel loved and feel like they are just on a little vacation! I will send you photos every day and keep you updated and what we do. Dogs and Cats do not scare me and I am very good at the luring game!

About: While most of my pet care has been focused on cats, I do have experience caring for dogs as well. I have cared for animals of all different ages, health levels, and necessary care levels. I have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. I also have experience administering medicine to pets and caring for injured animals. I have some experience in grooming and upkeep of animals as well. In addition to Dogs and Cats I do have experience caring for all sorts of different animals. Including but not limited to snakes, hamsters, bunnies, lizards, ducks, and chickens. So, please feel free to contact me for any animal care you are searching for! I currently work part time at a restaurant and typically work 2-4 days a week. I am available before 3 or 5 pm the days that I am working, and I am currently available any time on the days I am not working at the restaurant. So my days off I have plenty of time to hang out with your little guys! Due to the fact that I have a young cat and roommates with allergies I cannot personally board animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your home. I am comfortable with walking any size of dog and am also comfortable with crating dogs and assisting in crate training. I am a very attentive person and notice any pattern changes in animals behavior. I am also very willing to answer any questions anyone might have! :)

About: I currently have two amazing dogs, Oslo and Annie. Oslo is a Labrador Pit Bull mix. I have taken care of him since he was a puppy. Annie is a Pit Bull mix. I got Annie when she was 2. Both dogs love to play out back in the fenced in yard. What sets me apart? I had a dog with 3 legs and he required special care. His name was Kal. I had a dog named Charlette. She was very overweight when I got her and I helped slim her down by adjusting her diet and walking. I got Charlette when she was old. I took care of her until she died of old age. I have taken care of dogs that were emotionally and physically abused by their previous owners and I have a huge heart for helping dogs through those awful situations. My current dog Annie is a classic example of a dog that can be an amazing companion even after emotional and physical abuse from a previous owner. I also volunteered at final victory through the doggy day out walking program. I participated in the Mardi Gras Parade with one of Final Victory dogs and I have volunteered at the Final Victory Campus to help with cleaning doggy bowls for all the dogs. I can work full time any day of the week. I am available for walking services or staying at the pets home for as many nights as needed. I do not offer boarding services at my home due to Annie still learning that other dogs are a safe space and mean no harm. I care for my pets by playing fetch, giving treats, playing tug of war with a rope, feeding, bathing, providing potty break, walking, and socializing with other dogs. I don't trim dogs nails.

About: I love, love, LOVE animals and will lavish TLC on your fur babies! I started taking care of my neighborhood dogs and cats when I was 10-years-old in Greenville, SC. It's stressful for pets to be boarded while their owners are away, so I try to make sure that they feel loved and secure when I take care of them. I give lots of belly scratches and am known by my doggie work neighbors as the Treat Lady. I take my pet-sitting responsibilities seriously and make your pet my priority when you entrust them in my care. I want to you to go away with a light heart, knowing that your dog or cat is in my loving hands and that I'll spoil them rotten...
