“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”
“Codi had a wonderful time spending the day with Randi ! She made sure to send me a lot of photos and videos of him playing with her doggies . She did a good job tiring him out because as soon as we got in the car he went to sleep and he can have a lot of energy at times ! Thank you so much for keeping my Codi safe. I definitely will book again!”
“Super sweet with my pup. You can tell he treats every dog like his own. I needed an emergency sitter and he had no problem taking my little girl last minute for a couple of hours. Highly recommend.”
“Chelsea was very accommodating for my schedule! I am so grateful she was able to take care of Junimo on such short notice and it was clear that he had an absolute blast staying with her!”
“I feel so fortunate that found Katheryn to watch Blue while I work in Columbia, South Carolina. She's so sweet with Blue, flexible and reliable, I highly rerecommend her and will use her any time I'm working in the area.”
“Grace was amazing! A very great communicator and was able to help us out on our trip last minute when we needed someone to watch Luna during my sister in law's graduation. Grace was kind, a great listener, and Luna came back from Doggy Day Care well cared for and happy! Would book again in a heartbeat if we're ever in Columbia again 😀”
“J.J. loves it at Adia's place, and her puppy's love him! He gives me a 2 second greeting when I arrive, and then he is gone to play some more. He never wants to leave, which tells me he is getting great care. Thank you for your patience with J.J.'s endless puppy energy. We are working on his manners, and his new puppy friends are helping him learn the ropes.”
“Highly recommended! She kept me updated with Nina most of the day & she sent me pictures of her throughout the day. Great communication and very professional. Me and Nina appreciate you”
About: I have had cats and dogs of all sizes most of my life. I have 4 cats at this time and a large dog (Pyrenees). I volunteer for a local cat rescue and Pawmetto Lifeline. I will give your fur babies the same love and care I give my own! 😊 I have pretty open availability most weekdays and overnight stays. We can negotiate weekend details. I'm pretty flexible on time of day/evening/ night (within reason). We have a fenced yard and my dog Ivan loves to have playdates! We have space to crate and/or separate if necessary as well. Large neighborhood for walking. We do have cats!!
About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs my whole life. I spent the last 6 years getting paid to take care of dogs at a doggy daycare, which was a dream!! Now I’m focusing on my other passion, staying home with my own dogs lol I spend my days taking care of my three dogs, from feedings, treat dealing, and play time. They also get let out several times a day for potty breaks, but only for like 5 minutes when it’s 100°, much to the dismay of my beagle who likes to bake. My dogs aren’t high energy so they can do whatever they like. They’re allowed on the furniture, they have free range of the house, and they’re constantly let out for potty breaks and given lots of treats. Same with the cat, he just vibes.
About: Hi I'm Daquan, I'm 22 and I live with my girlfriend, dog and cat. I'm currently going to Thomas Nelson Community College to become an Athletic Trainer, and as of now I work at the Nike Factory Outlet. I'm also in the process of getting a certificate to become a Personal Trainer. I'm a really respectful and kind person in general. I care for all pets no matter how aggressive they are. I lived with dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and turtles. So I do have a little bit of experience with different breeds and different types of animals. I love animals and I believe it would be extremely fun to meet new pets. Besides I see my pets everyday. I need a break from them.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was young! I grew up with family cats and dogs and have always loved caring for them and playing with them. For the past ten years, I have been dog and cat sitting. I am used to visiting homes but have also housed many dogs and cats in my own home. A few summers ago, I housed and cared for a dog for three months while his owner was out of town. Over the summers, I frequently get daytime visitors when owners don’t want their dogs to be alone all day. I have significant experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I am extremely good with cats, as I’ve lived with one or more my whole life and am very fond of them. We do currently have a young cat in our home, so boarding is temporarily turned off. To explain the gap in my reviews from 2021 - 2023, I was at school and only home for holidays. I am home now for the foreseeable future. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a car and am happy to visit as many times as necessary. With more advance notice, I can also move my shifts around to be more available for your pets. I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can run around! We have several dog gates in our possession as well if needed—they’ve been used in the past to separate more anxious dogs from my cat—and I am happy to crate your dogs according to your wishes or even aid in crate training. We have bowls of our own but would need dog food brought in. I am also familiar with grooming/brushing and could aid with that. I am very social and love to spend time with animals. If staying in your home, I will make sure to give your pets lots of love and prioritize their well-being. I will always reach out with questions if anything comes up.
About: I've cared for countless furry friends since I was 10 years old. I've grown up with all kinds of dogs my whole life. I am capable of handling any type of pet, wild or calm. I have two amazing pups of my own. Neighbors, friends, family, coaches and co-workers have relied on me to babysit as well as walk their pets. I am currently home for the summer months of May-September as I spend my school year attending the University of South Carolina studying Special Education. My schedule is as open and flexible as can be to take care of your pets! Whether it be long walks, catch in the park, playtime in the backyard, nighttime potty breaks, I will do whatever is necessary to accommodate you and your pets needs.
“Eileen was a very pleasant lady and great with Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her, who had a good time with her dog. The fenced backyard was great for Daisy to roam around. I would recommend Eileen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.”
“Chad made my boy feel right at home and even had some very friendly pups that Zeek had a blast with. Zeek was returned to me so happy and tuckered out, it was great! I will definitely think about re-booking whenever I'm back in town. Go Gamecocks!”
“Happily helped me by taking a last minute booking and was very kind and accommodating. She sent pictures during the stay which helped me feel at ease. My boys came home happy and worn out. Would definitely recommend!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I worked at a vet clinic for three years, and I’ve been petsitting for about 11 years now. I have fostered and rescued many times. I have one dog, Huck, and two cats, Khaleesi and Abu. I work almost entirely from home, so I am here almost all day. I occasionally have to run to a job for 2-3 hours, but I can adjust my schedule when necessary. I have a brick fenced in back yard. I am happy to go for walks and play fetch and accommodate any way I can. I worked at a vet clinic for three years and I’ve been petsitting for over 10 years now, so I have plenty of experience giving meds and caring for our four-legged friends.

STEPHANIE S.
“Stephanie really loves animals. She is my sister and we grew up with our animal-loving mom. We have delivered baby kittens, seen our mom save the lives of so many animals and bring them back to life, spent our summers outside playing with our 2 German shepherds and our many kitty cats until dark every night, playing in the woods with them all day and dressing the kittens up. I don’t think Stephanie has ever been without an animal in her life except the few years she worked as a travel nurse. Her animals are her children and she probably takes better care of them than she does herself. She came to live with me for a few months while in transition from travel nursing to her now permanent nursing career and we have a pit bull that everyone was scared of. My husband had everyone deathly afraid of him bc he has bitten before. I can hold him like a baby, but he didn’t want my sister to get near him. It wasn’t but a few days and Stephanie was hanging out with her new bestie Goddy. She doesn’t have a fear of animals and they can tell she will not harm them. While she was here she also came to love my cat Ricco and he became hers. She ended up taking him with with her when she moved and still has him living his best life. And believe me, he is bougie and needs constant food and care lol. She has several of her own animals and they are her babies. She keeps finding more animals and rescuing them as they are somehow drawn to her. She will definitely be one of the best sitters/animal care givers you will find.”
Lindsay C.
“She has always been obsessed with dogs and they've always gravitated towards her. When she worked at the doggy daycare, she would constantly show me pictures and videos of the dogs, along with telling stories about them. Her face just lights up when she talks about dogs so she'd be a great caregiver.”

Maggie O.
“Maggie has taken care of our dogs a few times over the past couple of years and she is outstanding with our furry children. Neither dog is fond of strangers, but they quickly warmed up to Maggie. They love her! She was able to keep them calm during a thunderstorm, which they are terrified of. Maggie stayed at our house with the dogs when we went on vacation. She is very responsible, and took very good care of our dogs and our house. I highly recommend her!”

Forest Acres dog parents share their Rover experiences
Please do yourself a favor. If you’re scrolling through Rover sitters trying to find someone you can trust, stop scrolling and choose Caroline. You will not be disappointed. My Chowder has stayed with Caroline several times and each time has been perfect! I have absolutely no doubt that she treats Chowder like her own pup. Sadly, we’re moving to a different state and won’t be able to use Caroline’s outstanding care any longer. Nevertheless, if we find a sitter that’s half as good as Caroline, we’ll be satisfied. Caroline is AMAZING!
