“Kaylee checked on my kitties and they seemed to take to her well - they’ll often hide when people they don’t know are at the house, but they came out and said hi the first visit! Kaylee completed all requested tasks and spent time playing with them. Will book again 🙂”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I quickly became the person friends and family could count on whenever their pets needed some extra love and care. I now have 15+ years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rodents, fish, reptiles, and more. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including senior and special-needs pets. I also have experience handling medications and providing the extra patience and attention that some pets need. In 2020, I adopted two kittens from the York County Humane Society, officially turning me into a cat lady! I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring and dependable hands. When I’m not taking care of animals, I’m usually trying new foods, spending time with my family, traveling, painting, or working on a pet portrait. I genuinely love animals and feel incredibly lucky to spend my time caring for them! Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, keeping track of portions and medications when needed, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and enrichment throughout the day. I’m intentional about giving each pet individual attention based on their personality and needs whether that means a walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their people are away, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat their safety and comfort as my top priority. I’m attentive to doors, gates, feeding instructions, medications, and any special routines to help keep pets safe and comfortable while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and will leave things just as I found them. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, cared for, and in good hands.
About: Experienced lifelong animal lover offering reliable, dedicated pet care. Having personally cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and livestock—I understand the unique needs and temperaments of different pets. I bring patience, strong empathy, and attentive, playful energy to ensure your pets feel safe, active, and comfortable while you're away. I work in the mornings and I'm off on the evenings. If you like me to stay at your home I can do that too, I've done it before with my aunt's and cousin's cat I have a kitty on my own, her name is Velvette. I wake up at 5am to get myself ready for work, before I leave around 6:30am I feed her tuna, and pour some of her dry food in another bowl. When I come back I give her treats, play with her, she follows me around and then we lay together in bed and then 10am I feed her tuna again
“Shakoya was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress free. My flight was delayed, and she was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated, was easy to communicate with, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and understanding pet sitter. Thank you again, Shakoya!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, reptiles, and other small animals. I currently manage a busy homestead and rabbitry, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding schedules, medication administration, cleaning routines, and monitoring animal health and behavior. I have experience working with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require extra patience and attention. I am also actively involved in service dog training, which has strengthened my understanding of positive reinforcement, consistency, and animal behavior. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and plenty of love while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, I am committed to providing dependable and compassionate service As a recent high school graduate with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Animals are a daily part of my life through my dog, rabbitry, cats, chickens, and other pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while making sure each pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with patience, kindness, and respect. Through owning and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and poultry, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and daily care needs. I am also actively involved in training my service dog, which has taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and safety. I follow all owner instructions carefully and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care.

About: I have a two year old and a 9 month old dog, both girls. I also foster dogs, have been for close to a year now. I love dogs and would love to watch over your fur baby while you are away and rest assured they will be babied just the same as my own. Please note that I work 9-5 during the week, and come home for about 30-40 minutes for lunch around noon. Typically I am only gone in 3-4 hour stretches. Your dog will not be left alone for longer than a 5-6 hr stretch at the MOST, which is typically ok for an adult dog but I really try to avoid that at all costs for both my babies and yours. I am home in the evenings Mon-Fri, work from home on Friday, and home most of the weekend. I do work a dinner serving shift at the restaurant on Saturdays but hoping to stop that soon as dog sitting picks up. Your dog will either be crated or separated into their own room while I am away to keep everyone safe, we can discuss what works best for your dog. I have crates for all dog sizes. Must be (mostly) potty trained and must be spayed/neutered. I work 9-5 during the week, and come home for about 30-40 minutes for lunch around noon. Typically I am only gone in 3-4 hour stretches.

All dogs get at least a 30 minute walk per day and of course lots of play time with me and/or my dogs. Will happily follow whatever instructions you provide for your pet. Their comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for in my home. Walking/drop in: will make sure to follow your instructions. Lots of play and love.

Melissa has been wonderful with our puppy! We’ve booked her twice now for midday drop ins, and she’s been so great about giving him a much needed potty break and some playtime while we’re working. She’s super communicative, sends the cutest photos, and we feel like Scout is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely be using Melissa again!
Mary was amazing taking care of our lab mix and is such an obvious animal lover! Our dog acted like she had found a new bestie from the moment she arrived to meet her. Mary was highly responsive and communicated clearly over the long weekend we were away. She went above and beyond, even giving Sweetie a play date with her dog. I didn’t have to worry about my dog being depressed or lonely while I was away. We are so grateful to have had Mary take care of Sweetie for us!
Michael was amazing and flexible. He bounded with our sweet boy Jackson!! We were updated and we had full confidence that Michael had everything under control. Michael is great with big dogs and has a great touch with them. We definitely will be using Michael again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Mill stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Mill choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fort Mill with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
