About: I grew up on a farm with dogs. We had hunting dogs, working dogs, and lap dogs. Sometimes those were all the same. I learned how to connect and work with dogs at an early age and have never been without a dog in my life. Whenever my friends need help, they always ask me first. My current dog is a female goldendoodle that I love very much and I’ll be sure to show your pet the same care! I’m currently in grad school so my schedule is pretty flexible depending on the week. Weekends are usually my most open time, but I’m also free to do walkings and boardings during the week. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run around. Inside, there’s plenty of place for your dog and mine and they should get along quite well. My dog does not have a mean bone in her body. If needed, I can separate your pet during feeding etc, as I have a gate to block off sections of the house.

About: I currently have two dogs. Friends and family rely on me when needed to care for their dogs and cats. I welcome the opportunity to care your pet also! I have availability mostly on weekends and evenings. I do have some flexibility with my schedule so feel free to reach out with any requests. I look forward to caring for pets and home as if they are my own. I understand it is difficult to trust someone you haven’t met and welcome an opportunity for an initial meet and greet.

“Wow!!! I really think she did a great job. We have a super shy cat and she tried very hard to interact with him. I would book her again. She is very kind good with animals and communicated great.”


“I would highly recommend Hadley to anyone in the area looking for a highly trusted, dependable, conscientious fellow cat lover to care for feline companion(s). I was worried and felt guilty for leaving my kitty Xyla at home while I was gone away for 7 days. Hadley provided me with daily texts and photo updates so I knew how they were doing. I had the peace of mind and I trusted Hadley. Xyla enjoyed her daily visits & playtime. I look forward to having Hadley again and I will urge others to use Hadley’s services as well.”


About: Dog care has been a well known trade of mine for over 15 years. I am best with smaller-medium dogs, unless your big dog is a good walker! You can thank my sister’s lab for that last comment LOL. I am studying law, so I have flexible summers. My only job is remote, so I am able to work often. I do not plan to leave the Columbia area for long periods of time this summer. While my home is already occupied by my three cats, I will do whatever you feel necessary to respectfully watch your pets in your home. I offer zoom/skype/FaceTime calls during my stay if you ever want to see how your pet is doing!

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristin and the exceptional care she provides for my puppy, Newton. From the very first day, it was clear that Kristin is not only professional but also truly passionate about what she does. She sends regular updates, complete with adorable pictures and videos, which always brighten my day while I'm at work. Her genuine love for Newton is clear in every interaction, and it's such a relief to know he's in such caring hands. Kristin is incredibly trustworthy and has gone above and beyond to ensure Newton is happy, safe, and well taken care of. Her sweet nature and attention to detail have made all the difference, and I couldn't be more grateful. Besides being a fantastic caregiver, Kristin has also become a wonderful friend, and always leaves the home cleaner than we left it. It's rare to find someone who is both professional and personable, and Kristin embodies both qualities effortlessly. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were their own, I wholeheartedly recommend Kristin. She's truly a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Kristin, for everything you do!”


“We LOVE Johann !!! My pups , especially my Rottweiler does not do well with strangers. He bonded with Johann very quick and I can’t thank Johann enough what he do for my babies while I was out of town. He is the person you can trust with your pets”


About: I grew up with dogs for all of my life and am a big fan of animals. I have experience watching both dogs and cats from spans of one day to over a week. I appreciate the happiness animals bring to our lives! I live in the Forest Acres area and have wide availability due to a flexible work schedule. I am available for drop ins and walks on a daily basis. I am respectful of instructions and rules and am thorough. Animals deserve care, support, and love at all times, and I can provide that structure for you when life gets busy. They are members of the family too! :) I have wide availability for any needed visits and services. My weekly schedule is steady without many variables. Pet care is a priority for me. Constantly ensuring they are comfortable, hydrated, fed, and safe. For walks, maintaining awareness of the weather. Maintaining interaction throughout the day to prevent any loneliness.

“Stephanie did a wonderful job visiting and caring for Dottie and Milton. We got updates during each visit and they clearly enjoyed her presence with them. We’re new to the area and look forward to her being our pet sitter when we are out of town again. Highly recommended!”


About: I have grown up taking care of pets as long as I can remember! I have 2 dog children of my own currently and also have experience with cats! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby! I can stay the night with them or do as many drop ins as needed! I have a fenced yard and my dogs are super friendly! We’re a pet on furniture and bed friendly home so they can be sure to sleep tight with me!

George S.
“I've known George for about 6 years now. I met him while I was on his ship in the Navy. I found out he grew up around dogs and told him he could come play with my black lab, Maggie Belle, any time he wanted. It wasn't long before George started dropping in every weekend just to say hey to her and see what I was up to. Once I got out of the Navy, it was nice to know I wouldn't need to stress about finding somebody to take care of her because if I was going out of town, I knew George probably wasn't and would be more than happy to help out. He really appreciated that she was an AKC certified retriever and he would work with her all day long. As a working dog, she loves nothing more than somebody that will take her out and run and do drills. I could tell from conversations with George and then seeing him around her that he wasn't bluffing about knowing dogs and I knew he would be perfect for my dog. Normally I worried because she was a high class AKC dog, but seeing how he did, I knew she'd get the right kind of care and work when I was gone. There were even a few times when I got home and George said goodbye to Maggie Belle that she was upset for days afterwards because of how much fun she'd been having. I still get videos and pictures of his dog now and everything he does with her. I don't know if I've ever seen somebody so focused on dogs that they could pick up as much as he does. It really is incredible. George is basically a professional dog trainer, from what I've seen from him and what I've seen at AKC events. You could NOT ask for a better caretaker for your dog.”


Jennifer M.
“I have known Jennifer for more than 25 years. She loves animals, and especially dogs and cats. She has two dogs herself right now. They are well cared for, healthy, kept current on vet care, and get a lot of love and affection! She is ethical, honest, reliable, and respectful. I totally trust her to do the right thing.”

Kaylee W.
“Kaylee is one of the best caregivers I know when it comes to taking care of your cats. Whenever I go out of town, I always trust her to stop by and watch over my cats. She takes the time to get to know my pets, and she's very calm with animals. She's even gotten one of my shy cats to play with her, and get out of his shell. Any pet is in safe hands with Kaylee”

Forest Acres pet parents share their Rover experiences
I am so glad we found Merrell! She checks in with our puppy while we are at work during the day. She packs in a lot during her visits with feeding, letting outside, and making sure our puppy can play and burn some energy. Merrell is attentive, thoughtful, and communicates very well.

This was my first time using Rover so I was a little worried about how it would go but Meghan was so fantastic. My cats are usually shy and timid around new people but she made them feel comfortable and was extremely attentive and communicated very well. I could not be happier with how it went! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!!

Adrianna was very responsive with me while I was on vacation and took good care of my cat! She followed instructions and also kept me updated. She was patient and understanding of my kitty and her needs. No issues or complaints. We would happily welcome Adrianna back next time!

Haldley was phenomenal!!! Will absolutely use her again in the future as she provided fantastic care! She was always on time and quick to communicate if needed. She took great photos and shared updates in the visit card. She was able to capture my kitty’s personality even! My cat takes meds and Hadley was able to administer them. My kitty was in great spirits when I returned home!

Stephanie did a wonderful job visiting and caring for Dottie and Milton. We got updates during each visit and they clearly enjoyed her presence with them. We’re new to the area and look forward to her being our pet sitter when we are out of town again. Highly recommended!

Kaitlin is very thoughtful and has great communication skills! When I was booking, Rover was showing my profile as someone in a different city 90 miles away for some reason and the first sitter I reached out to immediately rejected my request. Kaitlin stood out to me because she took the extra step to confirm my location first. She applied the same amount of care to her drop in visits, providing great updates and pictures! Would definitely book again

Alyssa was fantastic! We have a young puppy who requires a little extra attention and we are also very particular about keeping up with her training and manners. We really appreciated that she was attentive to our detailed instructions. Alyssa was super responsive, on time, and provided our girl with lots of love and play time!

Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.

Kate is the best! Our dog, Brownie LOVED her from the moment she met her. We had Kate come to our house to meet our fur babies and they instantly clicked! Upon coming to our home for the visit, she sent us many pictures and updated us on everything! We seriously cannot recommend her enough and look forward to having her care for our fur babies again in a few weeks!

This is the second time I’ve had Sara babysit Benjamin and Baby Daisy. Sara is unbelievable! I came home to not only happy kitties, but my home is in top notch condition. A lovely and consistently kind and understanding young lady who my picky little monsters absolutely adore, and who this extremely neurotic cat mom trusts 100%. Five stars are not enough - thank you thank you thank you Sara!

Grace was amazing! I had a sitter cancel on me last minute but Grace was able to drop in on my dogs for the weekend. My dogs warmed up to her and she kept me updated the whole time I was gone. She also followed the feeding instructions perfectly. I 10/10 would recommend her services and I will definitely use her services for my next trip. Thank you so much Grace and great job!
