About: I have been boarding and dog walking for the past 5-years, mostly for neighbors back home when I lived in Maryland. We just moved into Gowensville | Landrum | Travelers Rest area -and we are very remote on 6 acres on Glassy mountain. We are joining Rover, hoping to help us make new furry friends. Our clients had deep trust in us, and we never let anyone down. Each client became a consistent client, mainly because their dogs would get so excited to see us or come to our home. We had one client that used to text and ask if Penny could come to the spa! We work hard to understand your pup, their regular schedule and favorite things to do, so we can maintain as much consistency as possible for our new furry friend. My husband is an excellent trainer, he has taught many of our client's pups to walk nicely on a leash, to heal, whoa, lets go, and ready up! My husband used to show train and show our great pyrenees for many many years. We both regularly get down on the ground and have play time with our boarders. I love taking pics of the pups and sending them off to their parents, so they have visual peace of mind seeing how happy their furry family member is doing. We will provide a short report via text each day. When dogs come to stay, we keep them on what is their normal schedule. Each day has 2 play times, a nice 30 min walk, 1-1 attention in their bed room prior to bed filled with lots of love (I love giving head rubs and reading stories). We will feed | Medicines | Relief time as per your instruction. We are at our best with friendly, non aggressive dogs. For dog walking, I will go to your home or office pick-up your dog, then head out. I can walk your pup, and | or have play time with your pet in your yard. If your friend needs lots of exercise I am very happy to take your pup on a hike of the distance of your choice for a longer visit. We are active, but retired. We have lots of flexibility. Boarding can happen any day/night you can drop off and pick-up at a time that works for you. The more notice you provide, the better I can plan around your pup's needs. I generally hike 4-6 miles 4 days a week. So if your friend wants to join me they are welcome to...weather dependent. Our home is pet friendly, with lots of space and the opportunity to keep fury friends separate when needed. Each boarded dog will have their own bedroom, where they will also be fed privately (don't forget to bring your pup's food (provide feeding schedule), feed bowls, medicine (include directions), any toys, and feel free to bring their favorite bed). The dogs are also allowed on the bed in their room. We have a large basement gym area where we create play time when the weather isn't cooperating.

About: I have cared for over 30 some animals since i was a little kid, from dogs and cats to goats, chickens, ducks, fish, and even a pigeon. I’ve been intimately involved with training multiple dogs and have been the sole walker and caretaker to many of them. Currently home for college, I am free basically 24/7 and prepared to make caring for your pets my focus. If need be, I am prepared to help out on short notice. I make sure to be very active with pets and make sure they get all the walking and playing they need. I am receptive and observant of their wants and needs.

“Thank you so much for the wonderful care you provided for Chachi. Your home was incredibly welcoming, and she felt right at home. I truly appreciate you sitting down to eat lunch with her, knowing she needed the company to eat. I am also thrilled that she fit into your household so well and became good friends with Ellie for the day. I couldn't be happier with everything you did.”

“Shana was very accomodating, taking a last minute request for dog sitting after our normal sitter cancelled. We are yearly sponsors of the Scottish Games at Furman, which is an all day event from 8:30 to 7:30, the Saturday before Memorial Day. I sent requests to four sitters on Rover that morning that were close to our house in Taylors. Two responded they were booked, even though their profiles confirmed availability, and two never responded. It then occurred to me that it would be easier to find a sitter closer to Furman for faster p/u after the event. I messaged Shana at 8:28 am and at 8:30 she replied “Hi there! You can drop him off now if you like.“ Her responsiveness was incredible, and greatly appreciated. Her tiny home community was so cute and inviting, and her location made for a quick and easy drop off and pick up. Our Dachshund, Bandit, obviously found her home (and her lap) very comfortable, as we received several photos of him relaxing on her lap in front of the wood burning stove. He seemed to get along well with her Lhasa Apso, Wally, who was about the same size as Bandit, as we received several photos of them taking walks and napping together on the sofa. I can say without a doubt that we will hire Shana every year for the Scottish Games at Furman, if she is still dog sitting and available (fingers crossed!).”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. As a dog owner myself, I know that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, outdoor adventures, or simply relaxing and getting extra attention, I strive to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide regular photo and message updates, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and work to maintain your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. I value reliability, communication, and making sure every pet receives plenty of attention and care during their stay. I prioritize safety, routine, and a low-stress environment for every pet. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and respect while in my care.

“We absolutely love Michelle. She takes such great and personal care of my baby! Michelle goes above and beyond and spends lots of one on one time with my pup. Dexter is always so excited when I tell him he's going to stay with Michelle. She is always accomadating when I need her help! ”

About: Hello, my name is Shannon! I have had animals just about my whole life! I have 30 years of experience from bathing, feeding, walking, medicine administration and just loving them to name a few. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, a ferret, rabbits, fish, and snakes. My mom bread cats and dogs and also trained them. She taught our Siamese cat to take baths and hold onto the soap dish during his bath. We all took part in their care and training and I learned a lot from my mom. When I was a teenager I rescued a kitten from outside, it was so much fun; we had an amazing relationship. Our family currently has a rescued Doberman mix who we adopted 5 years ago. She is an amazing, very loyal dog! As you see, I’ve had different types of animals and in that I have had both young and old pets, so I know the different temperaments and patience that is required for all! I am not working a full-time job. I am looking to work with clients from Rover on a part-time basis. I have plenty of time to love on your pets! Please let me know what your needs are and I will get the job done. I will always keep your dog on a leash and keep your pet safe. I will follow all instructions and update you with pictures.

“Megan was great. I had a good experience. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone. She sent me pictures of him. I was late in picking up my puppy and she was ok with it. I would definitely recommend and leave my puppy with her in the future.”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was a young child. The only time I didn't have a dog in my care was when I was in college living in dorm rooms, and even then I went to the local shelter to walk and love on puppies while mine were back home. I have experience training dogs and caring for puppies. I love all dogs, big, small and everything in-between! I am a stay at home Mom right now with young children. My schedule is pretty open except when I'm running around to pick a youngin' up a few times a day! I'd love to fill my extra time with helping care for your fur babies! I currently have three dogs of my own and all are big dogs. We have a nice, safe, fenced in backyard great for running around. I am willing to help your fur baby however you see best to make them and you most comfortable.

“Heather was wonderful! She was very accommodating and took excellent care of my fur baby. We will be using her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been passionate about dogs and pet care for over 15 years.

I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including active dogs like my own Border Collie mix, Reaver. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, making them feel safe, loved, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets because I treat every dog like family. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals and training positive behaviors. 🐾 Your pet will receive loving care, attention, patience, and lots of affection with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for dogs, so I do my best to keep them comfortable, active, and stress free while their owners are away. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I adapt to their personality and needs to make them feel safe and loved. 🐾 Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is extremely important to me. I treat every dog like family and pay close attention to their behavior, routines, feeding schedules, and comfort levels. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including active breeds like my own dog, Reaver.
