“Our first weekend away from the babies and we couldn't be more grateful for Joy! She treated them as family and took extra care to make sure they were comfortable in their own home without mom and dad. The little things mean a lot and Joy went above and beyond. From turning on the TV so the dogs didn't hear all the ongoing neighborhood noises to tucking them into bed with blankets, Joy showed our babies what love means and gave them the extra spoiling they deserve! We will definitely be using Joy over and over again! The pups give her all 12 paws up and extra kisses for greatness!”
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.
“Lyric was very reliable. She did drop in visits for us for a whole month while we were on vacation. Our dog was well taken care of and it was nice to have confidence that she would come! Would definitely recommend.”
“Andrea was great! She took good care of my two cat boys! She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Would definitely recommend her! Will use her again whenever we are going to be out of town.”
“Very very appreciative of Kathryn. She was so helpful and ensured that all of our pets’ needs were met, going above and beyond to make sure that everything went well. I’ve had a few less than pleasant experiences on here, so coming home to happy pets and no mess was a relief. I absolutely recommend booking with her.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10, when I lived with my parents we had five dogs. I would feed them, play with them and take them to the bathroom every 2 hours. I love animals they always brighten my day even if I'm down. I do not currently have a job, I'm working on starting my small business up, so i will have the flexibility of a schedule to take care of your fur babies. I enjoy being around animals, they always brighten my day. I will make sure to make them feel loved. If you have a backyard, I can run around with them and make sure there fed and make sure they're taken out to use the bathroom as often as they need.
“Ashley was great. Sent photos every day she visited and went above and beyond to help out when my genius cat managed to get a HVAC vent off and get stuck in the vents under the house on the last day 😅.”
About: I was raised around animals my whole life and I absolutely love any and all animals. I have years of experience with dogs/cats, I also have a pet pig! I would love to care for your furry friends! I currently work 8 to 5 Monday through Friday in Easley. I have free evenings/weekends and would absolutely love to spend that time caring for your pets! I have two large, playful female dogs. They are both extremely friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of toys and treats for any animals and a crate as well.
About: I have my own two dogs who have never shown signs of aggression or any territorial behaviors. They love all dogs and their favorite thing to do is open their home to new friends. I’m extremely active on weekends and weekday evenings and love to take my own dogs to play, so they are always looking for friends to run with. I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have also lived in apartments where my roommates would have dogs and I’d watch them and hangout with them constantly. I am a pediatric therapist at a nearby facility in TR! I work full time with full flexibility to go in late, come home early, or leave to let your pup play/eat/potty! My partner works from home and spends a lot of the time with our pups as well- we would add yours right to the family for full days of play and love! I live near Swamp Rabbit Trail and Furman University for all adventures! I have a fenced in backyard, dog park, and a neighborhood for frequent walks. There are tons of opportunities to for pups in this area! I took a small break from Rover to buy a home and get settled. Now that we’re in and adjusted, I’m too excited to open my home back up to your loved pets. Can’t wait to take care of the most important part of your family! I am available everyday of the week. Although I work full time, my primary job is to care for my own fur babies and yours will be added straight to the family! I also have a partner whom I live with whose schedule is flexible and adores pups as much as I do (if not more). I prefer to a pup who’s parents are willing to do early or late pickups and drop offs as it tends to work better. Midday may get tricky, but I am more than willing to work with you. I have a crate if needed, but since someone will be with the dogs so often, I do not see a use! My other two dogs would love nothing more than to play and hang with their new puppy friend! I also offer regular updates, pictures, and videos of your pup enjoying their stay!
“Jordan Checked in twice on our cats while we were out of town. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She was kind, dependable, and sent photos. I'd definitely recommend booking her!”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I provide a level of care that’s both attentive and genuinely personal. I was raised in a home where dogs were treated like family, and that philosophy still guides everything I do—your dog will be cared for with the same level of love, structure, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced in managing a wide range of care needs, including medication administration, specialized feeding routines, and accommodating unique behaviors or sensitivities. Whether your dog thrives on routine or needs a little extra patience and understanding, I tailor my approach to what works best for them. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being, I’d love to help. I work from home, I offer a high level of availability and flexibility. I’m able to be present throughout the day, allowing for consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship—something many sitters simply can’t provide. At home, I have two dogs—Remi, my Doberman, and Teddie, my doodle—my perfect yin and yang. They’re well-socialized, well-loved, and live a very active, enriched lifestyle. That same standard of care extends to every dog I welcome.
About: Hi, I'm Cloe! I live in Greenville and I've wanted a dog for years. Until then, I'm happy to spend time with yours. I've fostered a dog before, so I know how much a new routine can stress a pup, and I'm patient about helping them settle in. I also have a cat, so I'm comfortable with animals of all kinds. I'm active and love getting outside, so walks and playtime are my favorite part. I'll send photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is doing. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine for food, meds, and walks. I'm home on weekends, so your dog stays with me and gets my full attention, not hours alone. I stick to your routine for meals, walks, and potty breaks, and I'll send photo updates throughout the stay. Evenings are for relaxing together at home. I also have a cat, so your dog would be sharing the space with one. My home is calm and comfortable, and your dog stays with me for the whole weekend, so they get lots of attention. I ask owners to bring their dog's food, bed, and favorite toys so things feel familiar, and I follow your routine for meals, medications, walks, and potty breaks. Your dog gets regular walks and playtime, and I send photo updates throughout the stay. I have a cat, so I do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone's comfortable. If anything comes up, I'll contact you right away and follow your vet and emergency instructions

About: I grew up on a small farm, so have been taking care of animals essentially since birth. I have had anything from dogs and cats, to horses and chickens. All dogs and cats have been inside animals, with a good many of them being rescued or fostered. I am currently a self employed stay at home ceramic artist. I have two loving and spoiled miniature schnauzers, who are 5 and 6 years old. They spend every waking moment with me, even having their own space while I work. I have two friendly and non reactive miniature schnauzers. Dog safe, fenced in yard with security cameras in every corner. Daily walks around West Village, when the pavement temperature allows. I am home 99% of the time, but dogs are crated when I need to run errands, both for their safety and peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Heathwood
I would have to say that Joy has been the best pet sitter that I have worked with, and I've had several over the years having lived in various states. She is very attentive to both Ernest (my cat) as well as her tasks. She was on time for every appointment and made sure to update me on how Ernest was doing in her notes and pictures (eating, litter box, mood) which I so appreciated since this was the first time that he and I had been apart since I adopted him a year ago (I was probably more nervous than he was). If she felt something was in question (eating pattern, litter box activity) during her visits, she would text me and ask incase there was an issue that she could address. I felt he was in great hands with Joy which put my mind at ease. For that I am very grateful!! I would highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
