“Our 15 year old Australian Shepherd was well cared for during our two week vacation. We were out of the country and we could relax and enjoy our time away knowing that he was in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals — from goats and pigs to dogs and cats! I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I currently work Monday through Friday, but I’m available on weekends to provide loving and reliable pet care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“We are beyond thankful for Suzanne and her son, Jackson! They were so welcoming when we first arrived! They went above and beyond in caring for our old pup (so much so that he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up!) We will absolutely rebook in the future ❤️”
About: I love animals and have grown up raising, training, and taking care of their overall well being. I raised and trained a pitbull pup (Nova) until she was 5 years old, with experience from taking care of cats and dogs at the time, and I now live with 2 cats! I had them since they were 3 months old and they will be turning 1 in October! I work full time, 7a-3p. I like to give boarding dogs their own room while I'm away, and I have camera's set up in there in case of an emergency. When I'm boarding dogs I like to take them out for a few hours before I leave, bring them inside, interact with them and make sure they have everything they need. When I come home first thing I do is let them outside. I let them play in the yard with supervision, I'll play with them, do short exercises, etc. While I'm home I do allow pets on the couch, I'll have the tv on, and hang out with them or play with them, depends on the pet. I also provide pictures during the stay which my main goal is to take every few hours. My availability on Rover may not always be correct, I may be boarding other pets or I may be taking extra shifts for work. Please ask. Feeding, giving water, cleaning litter, giving medicine, playing with them, letting them outside and/or walking them. Some things like giving medicine will need to be specified and especially if you have certain feeding habits I should be aware of just let me know. I will also send you photo updates on how they're doing!
“Jennifer is an incredible dog sitter and she took great care of Mandy! She walked her and took her on car trips and kept her safe and calm during the July 4th fireworks! We cannot say enough good about her care and treatment of our dog! We will definitely use her the next time we travel if she is available.”
“You're always nervous leaving your little buddy with someone they don't know, especially an older dog when they have not really had that experience before. Madison and Brianna did a great job. Since Brianna is studying to be a vet tech, I felt confident and comfortable leaving my little dog with them.”
“Mason & family took such good care of my dog this weekend - I can’t say enough good things! It was my first experience using Rover too and it could not have been easier or better. It gave me such peace of mind to know my dog was in a loving environment while I traveled and that she was getting lots of playing and exercising and attention everyday. Just picked her up - she’s a happy dog!!”
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of my dog! She sent me pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind, and he looked so happy and comfortable with her. I really appreciate the wonderful care she gave him and would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I own an Italian greyhound, and sighthounds have taught me a lot: reading their sensitive body language and using gentle handling and leash technique. I've also given medication to pets in my care, so I'm comfortable and confident handling pills, liquids, or other routine treatments your dog might need. I work remotely full time, which means I'm home and available every single day. Visits happen on a real schedule, not squeezed in around a commute. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your dog's routine as seriously as you do. I work remotely full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm home all day, every day, which means I have flexibility to schedule visits throughout the morning, afternoon, or evening depending on what works best for your dog's routine. I treat drop-in visits as a genuine break in my day, not something rushed between meetings, so your dog gets my full attention for the time I'm there. At home, I have a fully fenced backyard, which gives dogs safe space to play and get some energy out, plus a crate available if a dog is more comfortable with a den-like space or needs a calm, secure area to settle. When I'm caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding routines, medication, or specific rules about doors, gates, or off-limits areas. I make sure everything is secured before and after each visit, including locking up behind myself, and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own.
About: Love pets more than people 🤣 lol Seriously tho, your pets will get all the love they want! I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! Cats are by far my fave, but dogs are a close second! Other species will need to be discussed on a case by case basis 🤪 My days are relatively open, so whether you need someone to just check in on your pet, take them out for a potty break, take them on a walk, or even hang out for a few hours, I can probably help 🙂 I’m happy to play games with your pets (or not, if that’s what your pet prefers 😆). I’m also open to boarding - either in my home or yours. I’m open to administering oral meds as needed. I am self employed and therefore able to cater to specific schedules for potty breaks and/or medication as needed. If your pet likes company, I’m happy to hang out with them for awhile. Whether you just need me to stop by your home to check in on your pets or feed and water them, or if you’re away on vacation, I’m happy to help 😊
About: I like getting to know a dog/cat and learning from their personalities. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them to help get their energy out. My work schedule is demanding but I always make time to see that pets are enjoying the best quality of life that I can provide. My main hobbies revolve around my pet's needs. I provide entertainment for my pets when I'm not at home, whether that means snacks, extra toys, or music. Once I'm back home, my first priority is taking care of my pets.
About: I've had pets my whole life. My family had a hobby farm when I was growing up. Between myself, my husband, and our daughter we currently have 14 pets. Dogs, cats, ducks, and several reptiles. I especially have a heart for shy/anxious dogs and elderly dogs. I will love your dogs like they are mine, so they are always well taken care of. With my work schedule I am easily able to care for doggies at home. I live 5 minutes from my job and I work in 4 hour chunks. I have a 2 hour lunch break that gives me plenty of time to come home and love on the dogs during the middle of the day. When I'm not home my husband and daughter are there to help out. If drop off is on M,T,W or F morning the drop of will be 7am sharp. Otherwise I can be fairly flexible We have a fenced yard for play time, a climate controlled building for relaxation, and a boat load of love for all things furry. I tailor play time and relaxation time to each dog's individual needs.
About: We're Jen and Matt, and we'd love to care for your furry family member while you're away. As pet parents ourselves, we know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Because we both work from home, your pet won't be left alone for long periods of time. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our home features a secure, fully fenced one-acre yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. We also have two playful, friendly dogs who love making new friends and help create a fun, social environment. If your pup prefers individual attention, we're happy to accommodate that as well. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax on the couch, we tailor every stay to their personality and routine so they feel comfortable and at home. **Please read full profile before booking** Requirement for pets: - up to date on vaccinations and able to show proof. - up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention medicine. Our own pets receive monthly preventative flea medications, are regularly groomed, and we maintain a very clean home. Every dog is checked upon arrival. If fleas are discovered, your pet will need to be picked up immediately to protect all animals in our care. ATTENTION * If your pet is… - not dog friendly - not people friendly - food aggressive - or has extreme separation anxiety And you are aware of any of these things, they need to be told to me at time of booking. Just because one of these is the case does not mean they will be turned away, but it does mean I’ll need to prepare for special accommodations such as not accepting other bookings for your dogs dates to avoid complications.

Our goal is for you to pick up a happy, tired, loved pup who's excited to come back again. We can't wait to meet you and your best friend!

Gloria and her family are truly amazing. They have lovingly watched our Bichon Ollie in their home several times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Irving home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Irving.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Irving sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
