I used to volunteer to wash, walk, and play with animals after school at the shelter. I have dog sat my grandma dogs for weeks at a time as well if taking care of mine day to day. I currently work at Starbucks in the morning and am a USC student. In my free time I hangout with my dog and hopefully yours too! My animals have daily routines and schedules we stick with to ensure consistency and trust. I train and walk with my dog everyday to stimulate her mind. I am 100% dedicated to not moving an inch when my cat is working in the biscuit factory, location, my lap.

Highly recommend! 🐾💛”

About: I've taken care of animals for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I'm familiar with senior care of dogs. I've trained puppies to potty train as well. I've available for weekends and holidays. I'm available after 5 PM throughout out the week. I work full time less than 5 minutes from my job so l'm able to check in on your fur babies. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I live in a large neighborhood with a yard so there's plenty of room for your fur baby to walk in peace.
About: Hi! My name is Vanessa. I have 2 goldens, 1 rottweiler, a calico, a bird and 4 turtles. I also feed the neighborhood strays. I'm truly an animal lover. I have a career in health care and often run through issues when I want to travel. I've used Rover myself. Why not extend the same help to others, and meet some amazing pets in my area?? I typically work M-F. I will be available some evenings and most weekends. I'm a planner and very reliable. I have my own pets who are on a regimen, so I understand the importance of needing someone reliable. I am available to let your pet out for a potty break and to feed them. I can do this a couple times a day if needed.

I have my availability set to 4pm to close there though i do work morning and/or night shift on weekends. in my free time i walk my dogs and take my one energetic dog on a run.

“Rebecca was great! Super informative about her visit and took lots of pictures too. You can tell she really cares about your animals and does everything she can to keep them comfortable and happy. We will definitely use her again!”
“Connie was amazing with my cat! Took very good care of her while I was away and even helped with medication. Highly recommended and will be my first call moving forward. Thank you Connie!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time caring for them and understanding their unique personalities. I currently care for 2 dogs, 2 rescue cats, and 4 guinea pigs, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and different personalities. One of my cats requires daily medication, which has given me experience following medication routines and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. I also volunteer at our municipal animal shelter and foster dogs and cats, which has given me experience working with animals of many different temperaments, including shy or rescue pets. In addition, I’ve worked with horses for the past 10 years and have over 30 years of horse experience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide so they can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone feels comfortable, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and doing well. I work full time with a flexible schedule. On weekdays I’m available for brief drop-in visits in the mornings and longer visits in the evenings, including evening dog walks. On weekends I have more availability and can provide several drop-in visits per day as well as dog walks twice daily. I can also care for small animals like guinea pigs with morning and evening visits. Because of my experience with horses and farm animals, I’m also available for weekend barn checks or basic care as needed. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to help with small household tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and weekend house sitting. If your request doesn’t seem to perfectly fit my listed schedule, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m always happy to see if we can find a solution that works for both of us. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their normal routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. During visits I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also clean litter boxes, check cages for small animals, and can give medication if needed. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure each pet’s needs and routines are respected. After each visit, I send updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I love being around all animals. I can’t wait to meet everyone’s animals. I used to work at a dog daycare and boarding place so I am good with overnight stays!! At the moment I stay at home so I am pretty flexible. I would be able to come over whenever needed. If overnight stay is needed, I would love too! I have an open yard so if dog daycare is needed they would be able to run around all day. I wouldn’t be able to do boarding at my place as I live with my mom.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs from a young age, I trained hunting dogs growing up, and not surprisingly, I have always loved animals more than most people. While in middle and high school, I would pet sit for several family friends and neighbors. I have had several careers working with different animals and had a small career as a professional corporate dog trainer for about 2 years. I have an abundance of knowledge about dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, small animals, and aquatic life and I always keep emergency kitten and puppy food in my car for any strays that I come across. I am used to dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. I have kenneling, medicating, and restraint experience and I am an AKC certified dog trainer. I work with Pawmetto Lifeline Friday - Sunday 7am - 9pm, other than that, I have a pretty open schedule. Let me know what you need and I will get back to you as soon as I can😋 While in your home, I will provide your pet with all the love and attention they lovingly deserve while you're unable to be there. As long as it's specified for their health and safety, I will be happy to oblige!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irmo
I was incredibly anxious about using Rover for the first time. I had to be away all day on June 9th to work as a precinct clerk, and because my dad—who usually helped me with the dogs—passed away in March, I was extra stressed about leaving them. Whitney absolutely exceeded my expectations and put all my worries to rest! She went above and beyond from the very start, coming by a couple of days before her visit to meet Emma, Junior, and Target, and to get the lay of the land. Her communication was amazing, and I loved getting the photos she sent of each of my dogs throughout the day. They clearly liked her a lot! She is also incredibly adaptable. At one point, I forgot to check my phone to open the garage door for her, but Whitney just rolled with it. Using the backup tools she was given, she figured it out and still got in to let the dogs out for their final visit of the day without a hitch. I was extremely pleased with her services. I only wish I could hire her every single day for a mid-day playtime outside! I will most definitely use her again if she is available, and I recommend her 100%. Thank you, Whitney, for doing such a wonderful job!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Irmo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Irmo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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 sitter.
