“Mary is absolutely amazing and was able to come last minute to take my dog out for a potty break and feed her breakfast. she is very communicative and makes me feel at ease!!”
“Five stars for Brenna! She took wonderful care of our Mystic and kept us in the loop the entire time. She sent several pictures, updated us on anything that came up, and always ran any schedule changes by us for approval ahead of time, so we never had to wonder how things were going. We came home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind. We’ve already booked her again and will definitely keep doing so. Highly recommend!”

I follow their normal feeding, walking, and playtime routines, keep their spaces clean, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection\.

About: I am looking to pet sit a dog/cat on the regular each week. I go to school at Coastal Carolina University, making it hard to find a part time job with my schedule being kind of wacky. I own a cat and a dog back at home and I’ve had animals all my life. I recently graduated an internship at Pirates Voyage as a Marine Mammal and Animal care intern, furthing my knowledge/experience with dogs, doves, sea lions, and macaws. I have always had a huge passion for them. I am actually going to college to become an aquatic vet.

As for traveling to a clients home I would love to meet the clients and pets first to make sure I can give the right care as the clients request.

It is seamless and relaxing as it should be. Thank you Miranda for your kind heart and all you do for our fur babies. Thank you.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting independently for several years, caring for dogs in their own homes where they feel safest and most comfortable. I understand how important it is for pet parents to have someone reliable and loving looking after their pets while they’re away. In addition to my personal pet sitting experience, my family and I have helped care for foster dogs for local rescue organizations, which gave me experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic pups to shy or anxious dogs, I’ve learned how to be patient, attentive, and calm so pets feel secure. When caring for your pets, I focus on: • Keeping their routine consistent • Giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise • Making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Your pets will be treated like family while you’re away. 🐶🐱 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule my day to allow consistent, unrushed visits so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and safe while you’re away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep the home secure, and make sure pets are always safe and supervised. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

My mom even has a possum and a snake, so I’m very comfortable with out-of-the-ordinary pets and special care routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently a college student at Coastal Carolina University and a member of the club cheer team. Outside of classes and practices, I have flexible availability and would love to spend my free time caring for pets. I am available during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job to me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and special care needs. I treat every home and pet with respect, compassion, and responsibility. I make sure pets are always supervised, exercised appropriately, and given plenty of attention and affection.

About: I have over five years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, companionship, and maintaining an animal’s regular routine while their owner is away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Homewood
Five stars for Brenna! She took wonderful care of our Mystic and kept us in the loop the entire time. She sent several pictures, updated us on anything that came up, and always ran any schedule changes by us for approval ahead of time, so we never had to wonder how things were going. We came home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind. We’ve already booked her again and will definitely keep doing so. Highly recommend!
Mary done a fantastic job with my 2 dogs and cat. I just moved two states away about 5 months ago. My Mom had also passed and they have severe separation anxiety, they done great with her. I will definitely book with her again. She sent me plenty of pics of my babies. I felt they were very safe and was comfortable with them being in her care. I would highly recommend her.
Anita went above and beyond. I hired her because I had broken my leg and could not get upstairs to clean the litter box and feed the kitties. She communicated along the way and even did extra cleaning of the boxes rather than just a quick scooping of the litter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 723 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Homewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Homewood. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
