“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: My name is Sasha! I am currently a student at the University of South Carolina. I have been pet sitting for the last 6 years. I love all pets and look forward to taking care of yours! Even though I am in college, I only have to go to class twice a week. I also have a job but I only work 5 hours at a time a couple times a week. I also plan on staying in Columbia for the summer. I love playing with animals, taking them on walks and keeping them company while I do my homework. I am not able to care for animals in my home because my apartment complex wouldn't allow it but I will make the most out of taking care of them at their home!

“Nothing but positives...I consider my dog high maintenance but Susan and her husband charmed her into good behavior and even socializing with other dogs. I got updates and pictures everyday. They really enjoy dogs and understand every dog has its quirks. I'll definitely use them again.”

About: What’s sets me apart from other sitters is I have many years of experience being around cats and dogs and I have two rescues so I know how to take care of animals! I get off at 3 for work most days so and my schedule is flexible! Afternoons suit me better but I’m willing to figure out with the client what would work best to fit their animals needs! I have a fenced in back yard that’s big and a dog and a cat that don’t mind other animals, my dog is trained as well!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve grown up with just about every type of animal from small to large, I’ve worked at dog rehabilitation centers, I’ve been a dog groomer for over 12 years (still grooming out of my home) I’ve worked as a vet tech in multiple veterinary clinics as well. I’m a professional groomer that works from home, my kiddos are 12, 8 and 2 with my oldest two in school during the day, so my daily routine is usually about the same lol I groom just about every day, and also occasionally board for my long term grooming clients as well! With me working from home I would absolutely prefer your pet to be dropped off and picked up, your pet will have the opportunity to play/hang out with my personal dog, go outside plenty of times and also have that human interaction as well rather then being in a kennel/run for hours on end before getting let out to go potty.

About: Hi there! I'm Delaney. Over the past year, I have fostered 2 dogs and 6 cats! Each foster was a new learning experience, gaining insight into animals boundaries and needs! Often having sick or injured rescue fosters, I have experience with giving topicals and oral medications. I have always had dogs, dealing with puppies up until elderly care. For many years I have been a sitter for my neighbors 2 cats and one dog. It has become a passion to help and take care of dogs and cats, and I hope to be everything you need for a pet sitting experience! I will be heading back to Columbia SC on August 16th and won’t be in Annapolis for pet sitting anymore! I am available all summer long, the only time I am unavailable is 9am to 12pm Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, while I am taking an EMT class at AACC! I usually wake up early, so I’ll be available before and after this class!! I am very active, love to take long walks or runs. I am very open to following pet owners lead. Often staying in their own home is often better for a pets routine to reduce stress. I am available to give pets company during daytime, and if needed overnight. I know how stressful being away from your pet is, and sending updates is crucial!! I am very communicative, respectful, and clean.

“Brittany was a great sitter for my dogs, Bella and Roxy. They made themselves at home before we even got out of the driveway and Brittany sent updates and photos during their stay. We ended up coming back earlier than expected and Brittany made sure to adjust the pricing for us. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my fur babies with Brittany and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hello:) I'm Bella, and I've been independently taking care of and looking after dogs since I was 10 years old! My mother has been in the rescue space for about 15 years, starting her own in 2019. I've had the opportunity to meet, foster, and transport hundreds of different dogs with all sorts of unique characteristics/behaviors. I have also done multiple overnight stays for families that have previously adopted dogs from the rescue and friends. All dog breeds are welcome here! I have watched dogs from chihuahuas to Chows to Airedale terriers. Additionally, from puppies to seniors, small to extra-large, I am comfortable with all dogs and can accommodate special needs. I'm no stranger to raw feeding, administering medications, light training, and grooming. I've always had a deep love and special interest in all aspects of owning dogs, so It's always been my dream to do this professionally. I am currently in school part-time and can be out doing that for about 2-6 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. During this time, my mother works from home, takes care of the animals' needs, and lets them hang out with her while she works. The animals run the schedule in our home; there's never a time their needs aren't met for other plans. I am a night owl, but I am also up very early. So no matter the time of day, I can stay on schedule for walking, feeding, medication, or potty times. I'm experienced with leash pullers and escape artists, so I am always very cautious when it comes to walking or when leaving a dog alone. I have a wealth of knowledge about veterinary needs and am not afraid to act if it ever becomes necessary. I have a large fenced-in yard here at the house and plenty of space to roam with a leash outside of that. The permanent animals in my home are 4 friendly dogs (1 male Chow, 1 female Chow, 2 female small-medium mixed breeds) and 5 cats. Fosters are in and out often but do not disturb the function of the household. Separation is possible in the house with crates, corrals, or gated off rooms. Extra animal supplies are always available here from the rescues' overflow, so we are always prepared for anything. We keep a clean home, and I've been a part-time professional cleaner, so I will keep a tidy space if staying in your home as well. I'm not afraid of any messes; I have seen and cleaned it all! Communication is key, and I'm up for molding around your schedule if need be. My aim to treat your pups with the utmost respect and love they deserve, so you won't have any need to worry when you can't be with them!

“LITERALLY. THE. BEST! This was our first time using Rover after a horrible experience boarding with a kennel and it was a game changer. Our pups stayed with Brittany for over a week and the only problem we had was that they were having so much fun, they didn't want to come home! We have two giant mastiffs, one with terrible anxiety and the other that acts like a toddler hyped up on sugar most of the time. She handled them both like a champ. We received loads of pictures everyday, so we had no reason to worry. I can't say enough great things about our experience! Thanks again girl!!!”

“KC was an amazing sitter for our dog, Lana! She carefully followed all of our instructions and kept us updated with frequent pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. Every time we reached out, she responded promptly and made us feel completely at ease, knowing Lana was in great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Lana with her again in the future. Highly recommend them.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, especially bulldogs and other large dog breeds, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats. In addition, I’ve watched neighbors’ small dogs while they were on vacation and have volunteered helping take care of dogs at Final Victory Animal Rescue. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s walking, playing, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My schedule is widely open for the summer! There is no doubt I can fit your pet into my schedule whether that be on the weekends or throughout the week! I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to help keep pets stress-free. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and supervision while also keeping the home clean and secure. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and safety on walks, around other animals, and in new environments. Having grown up around both large and small dogs, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels. My goal is to make owners feel confident that their pets are being treated like family while they’re away

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 .

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
