“Angel was very sweet and good with my pups. She responded to my texts and kept me informed.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have cared for many dogs and cats over the years. While working at a boutique, I built strong relationships with customers and became a trusted, repeat sitter for their pets. I’ve also watched the pets of family and friends for years, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup or a sweet, independent cat, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5:30, but I have an hour long lunch break where I can quickly come home and tend to the pets making sure they get potty breaks and attention. During the weekends I am wide open to anything and can give my full time and attention to your pet! I kept my parents' labradoodles at my apartment for one year while their new home was being built. The labradoodles loved staying at the apartment. They had plenty of space to eat, play, and sleep. I of course will make sure to take your dog on quality long walks to ensure they are getting proper exercise while staying at the apartment. I also am experience in staying at the pet owners' home while I take care of their pets. I make sure to walk dogs, feed them according to the owners' instructions, and provide them with lots of love and affection.

“Aaron is simply amazing! This is our 2nd time having him dog sit at our house. He goes above and beyond the call of duty. He is very communicate, sending updates and pictures at least twice a day. We don't have to worry or stress about our fur babies or our home when we are away. He is our go to person.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old for friends, neighbors, and family members. I am comfortable will all dog breeds and ages, and have experience with many different types of dogs. I have previously worked for a small pet sitting/dog walking business as both a pet sitter/walker and office manager. I, myself, have an older German Shepard that needs frequent play time and takes medicine daily; I am very comfortable administering medicine to dogs. I am currently taking online college classes to obtain my bachelor's in Kinesiology. I do have a job as a personal trainer/group instructor and admin for a small gym in the area. I am available early mornings before 8am and afternoons after 1pm. I have experience in homes with and without fences, with dogs who are and are not crate trained and very comfortable, and experienced, with calm and excited dogs.

“She was great! This was my first time on this end of Rover so she was very helpful with great communication in adapting/adjusting to the scheduling plans to ensure our dog was taken care of which was greatly appreciated! He warmed right up to her!!”

“Gracie was very easy to communicate with and she sent me pictures throughout the day. Smitty got 2 walks and snuggles. He was happy and had a good day!”

“John took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs befriended him straight away and he was always quick to respond. Thank you John, we will definitely reach out in the future when we need a dog sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and began pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around the age of 10. I’ve had a dog of my own for about 6 years now who gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Happy to care for pets of any age and willing to administer medications or provide other special needs to pets if needed. I have a lot of free time in the next couple of months as I am waiting to start a job a few months from now. I will have plenty of time to drop in to check on pets, regular walks, and boarding! I have a very friendly dog that gets along well with cats and dogs alike. I am happy to welcome your pet into my home or come to your home to care for your fur babies too.

“Emily was fantastic with our pups. We are new in town, and it’s always hard to find someone to trust with your fur babies. She spent a lot of time with them and really gave them all her attention and put us as ease.”

About: I have been around pets all my life. Volunteered as a foster mom for the humane society and took home pets that needed medication given to them. Been around active dogs like Dalmatians and Australian Shepherds as well as older, docile dogs. Did puppy training classes when I raised my Australian shepherd. I work full time so if you request a booking with me I may send you back a message with the hours I work during that time frame. I've also lowered my rates below Rovers "suggested" numbers and made it to where you can "potentially" book me last minute (If my schedule works for you, obviously). I would love to be that sitter that is helping out someone who maybe had a sitter cancel at the last minute or you had an unexpected event happen and didn't really have it in the budget to hire a pet sitter on top of everything else. Or you are just a frugal gal/guy like me and don't think it should break the bank to hire someone to watch your fur children 😊 I can crate your pets when needed, take them on walks, can administer medications if needed. I work well with lists or rules set out to follow for your pets best care in your home.

“Haley took care of our 5 cats and 1 dog during an overnight visit. All of our kids seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Our extremely shy cats even came out shortly after she arrived -- this means they felt very safe with her. We were impressed; she has a demeanor that makes pets feel very safe. She took great care of everyone, and also gave medication to one of our cats. She sent several photos of our kids, which we appreciated.”

“Samantha was great! Great communication and sent so many pictures of my babies!! Went above and beyond and helped water my garden too :)”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix and a 4-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week.my husband stays at home full time. I have a very flexible schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.

“Erin was great with Truvy and Cash. I felt very comfortable having Erin with the dogs while I was away.”

“We absolutely love Brandi. She was amazing and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely use Brandi for all of our pet sitting need from here out”

About: Ever since I was little, I have always had an animal companion at my side. I have experience with both senior pets with medical needs as well as puppies and kittens less than a year old. Wherever your pet is at in their life, I can handle it. I have a consistent schedule during the week and am available in the early mornings, lunch, and after 5. My weekends are completely free with the exception of Saturday evening when I work as a server. I am calm, gentle, and experienced with many animal personalities. Whether your pet is shy and nervous or bouncing and energetic, I will love them like my own!

“Majestyc was wonderful with our Klooney and Brutus. She sent me photos and videos of our dogs under her care. Klooney didn’t want to eat and she was so patient with him and helped him start to eat. We will definitely ask her to care for our dogs next time we are out of town.”

“Michael took great care of our fur baby while we were gone! He loved her like his own and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We will definitely be using him again. 10/10 recommend! :)”

“Kristin was amazing! She stayed with my two dogs for three nights, including the Fourth of July. She kept me updated at all times, sent videos, photos, and message updates. I felt very relaxed knowing she was with them. One of my dogs has leash reactivity and Kristin handled it very professionally and well. No incidents occurred with her. I even came home to a clean home! She said she wanted me to be able to relax when I returned. I will definitely use her again! Absolutely incredible service.”
