About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals — from goats and pigs to dogs and cats! I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 4 year old so I am available at any time of the day and any day or the week! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I was raised around them from the time I was 5 years old and started learning how to care for the animals around me. I have a Husky of my own that is my bestest friend and a big baby that is super spoiled. I would love to make your pet feel just as loved with me as they are with you! I work from home so I would be able to provide optimal care for your fur baby. I also have completed vet assistant school and have worked as a volunteer at the humane society multiple times throughout my life. I am currently working remotely so I am able to take care of your pets really whenever. I am pretty open to any schedule that you may have!! I can easily crate your dog if needed, I also have a 4 month old husky puppy to keep them company that is extremely friendly and loves to play.
About: Hi My Name is Crystal. I grew up here in Simpsonville. I've grown up around animals of all kinds. I started caring for them at an early age. We had what most people would call a small farm. We had Dogs, cats, poultry, swine, Gerbils, Hamsters, Rabbit. Peacocks, pheasants, quail, the list can go on. I have cared for animals of all ages. I also can take care of plants while you are away. I have two Associate in Applied Science degrees from Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina. ( Horticulture Technology, Turfgrass Management Technology) I finished out my college career at Clemson University with a Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Education.I am not afraid of animals, well besides Spiders but that's besides the point. My house and pet sitting knowledge began while living in Charlotte attending community college, I would house sit for friends while their families were on vacation. Taking care of their plants and animals as if they were my own. My pets are my children and that is how I will treat your pets as well. They are family members. I know most pets are set in their ways with a schedule, and I will strive to maintain that they stay on their schedule. Currently in my home with my family I have a Welsh Pembroke Corgi named Beauxman Makenna. He is 11 years old. I also have a rescue Orange Tabby cat named Wilson. However, with my family our house has 4 dogs, 3 upstairs cats, 6 downstairs cats, amongst feeding neighborhood cats. Over the last number of years I have house sat for neighbors, while they have gone on vacation as well. I look forward to working with you soon. My Schedule is Super Flexible to best fit your needs. For the foreseeable future I am available for House Sitting and Pet Sitting. First thing in the morning animals need their morning bathroom time before breakfast, food, and outside again. I take my pups out as they ask to go out. If it is hot outside I limited their outside time, but add frequent trips for shorter times outside, to keep them from getting over heated. Playing with toys and giving them time to play is also one of my favorite things. I do enjoy snuggle time with them as well. I am not able to watch pups in my own home because of number of animals and family members. I will be glad to do morning and afternoon checks (Feeding, bathroom, playtime, attention). Or my other option is I will be glad to stay as a guest in your home to watch your animals and house. I will treat your home, and animals with the upmost respect. I will also provide daily pictures of your animals.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Whether it’s a new puppy or an old loved dog, I love caring for dogs. I don’t have my own dogs, so I love getting my dog love from pet sitting! I work as a youth director at a church so while I am full time, I do have a flexible schedule to let dogs out. I am off on Fridays so weekends are ideal times. I make sure the environment is clear for dogs and they cannot access any unsafe objects. Space for relaxing and your dog’s toys is always open. Dogs are welcome to be as close to me as they’d like and I make sure they follow not only my rules, but your rules as well.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I could walk! During my entire childhood our home was always filled with dogs - after all, a house is not a home without a dog :) I love all kinds of dogs - from little to big, dogs who like to lounge and dogs who like to run around all the time. I enjoy snuggling dogs and giving ear scratches, but also throwing a ball or going for a long walk. I am an elementary teacher on summer break, so I am available almost any time or any day during the summer! The only time I have blocked out is 8:30-11:30am on Sundays. I have a large fenced in yard. My dog stays inside most of the time, unless I am home. He has free range of the house while I am gone.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hickory Tavern. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Hickory Tavern.

Every walker 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 .

- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
