About: Hi, I’m Sam! I live in NE Columbia near Sandhills, and caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from tiny puppies to giant seniors. I’m also the South Carolina Manager for Daisy Bean Rescue, where I’ve helped countless dogs find their forever homes. That means your pup will always be in the hands of someone who knows how to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible and your dog would almost never be unattended. I can take frequent breaks to make sure your dog is well looked after and not alone. I want to care for your pet just exactly the way you would if you were available. I strictly follow all care instructions and make them as comfy as possible until you return.
“Christina did an awesome job with our super senior Miss Annie. She was very caring and attentive to her and we appreciate her spending time with her while we were away. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m available most days and times, and I’m happy to work around your schedule. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll do my best to be available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide care at your home, so your pets can stay in their own familiar environment and routine while you’re away.
“We have booked with Sam before and were so happy that she was available this time as well! She takes such good care of our dog and our cat, and has learned their personalities so well :) her updates are thorough and she sends lots of pictures!”
“Danielle was fantastic! Our cats were comfortable with her right away, and they were happy and well cared for when we got home. We’re so thankful she was available last minute to help our family. We would happily have her care for our cats again!”
About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!
About: I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats in a responsible way from a young age. My best experience is from my pet Louise who is a pit mix, I learned a lot from this when it comes to handling different behaviors and needs as this was the first animal that was my own and not a family dog. I grew up around both big and small dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I’m also a very active person, so I can keep up with walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise without any issue. I make sure dogs are fed on time and get the attention and structure they need. Overall, I’m reliable, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Im currently in school working on my masters, this is my main focus so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mondays and Wednesday’s are the days I go to school but I can work around this schedule. Safety, compassion, and their environment are a big part of how I care for dogs. I always make sure I understand their routine and any boundaries before anything else, so they feel secure with me. I stay aware on walks, keep them on safe routes, and watch their body language so nothing gets out of control. I’ve grown up around dogs so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, and energy levels. Building trust is important to me, so I stay calm, compassionate, and patient with them instead of rushing anything. I also make sure their environment feels stable, clean, comfortable, and familiar so they’re not stressed while their owners are away. Overall, I treat every dog like they’re my responsibility and make sure they feel cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a dedicated animal lover and an experienced veterinary technician who understands that your pets are family. Working in veterinary medicine has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors, puppies, kittens, and pets with medical needs. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply someone to give them extra love while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and behavior, and I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and handling unexpected situations calmly. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members with someone you can trust. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I can stop by before 8:00 am and after 3:00 pm on Saturday. I don’t work a set schedule so my availability will stay up to date. I will always try to work you in. I have a super friendly dogs and 3 cats that been around dogs many times. Your dog will get lots of outside time and walks at a trail near my house. Also will be able to provide enrichment for other animals.
“Natalie came and let our dogs out while we were away for two days, and the boys loved her! She was very attentive and took great care of them. We will definitely be reaching back out to her again in the future!!”
About: Hi there! I’m Krystal — a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent who has cared for animals of all kinds since I was young. From dogs and cats to small critters, I’ve always had a natural connection with pets and a genuine passion for their well-being. I attended Michigan State University’s pre-veterinary program, where I gained a strong foundation in animal health, behavior, and care. That background, combined with hands-on experience as a pet owner, gives me a calm, confident approach to handling pets with different personalities and needs. Whether I’m providing overnight boarding, drop-in visits, or daily walks, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and compassionate, ensuring your pets get the attention, affection, and structure they deserve. You can always count on me for open communication and updates, so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and loved. ❤️ I am a current pet owner so pet care is always a part of my daily schedule. This is possible with planning and consistency. By viewing pet care as a necessary and enjoyable part of my schedule, I can assure pets receive the attention and care they need without overwhelming my professional life. I treat every pet as an individual and every client's home with the same respect and attention to detail that I would expect for my own.

I feed the animals as well as give them their medicine, and also feed them when its time. I also run and play with them for exercise. I love throwing a ball around with them or even a frisbee. I have a 3 year old blue pit whom is my big baby.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Killian
Highly Recommend Christina! Leaving your pet at home is one of the toughest parts of traveling, but after meeting Christina, my worries were alleviated. She is a gentle, kind person who obviously loves cats. My 7-year-old cat, Luna, doesn't normally take to strangers, but she must have sensed Christina's kindness, because the two of them became friends right away. While I was out of town, Christina visited and played with Luna every day. Getting daily photos of Luna was so reassuring, and it was wonderful to know she was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely be using Christina again, and I'm happy to give her my highest recommendation.
Emily consistently shows up and takes care of all of my dogs needs. They love seeing her every day and I appreciate not having to worry about them because she ALWAYS leaves them happy, pottied and full of love. This especially shows in my 2 year old cocker spaniel. He lets me know when his daytime person isn’t getting the job done and he has never once showed me she hasn’t met his needs. We love her and I love having someone I can trust.
Alexis was wonderful! I was so nervous about leaving my 8 cats for ten days, but after meeting Alexis, and receiving my first couple of daily reports, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation! I left 7 of my cats (one is diabetic, and needed extra care, so wasn't home), for Alexis to check on daily. She fed them, made sure they had fresh water, cleaned out all the litter boxes, and loved on the ones who would come out of hiding. She looked under sofas, in closets, and under beds, to get pics of the shy kitties! I would definitely want to book her the next time I need a rover! Thanks, Alexis!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Killian is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,094 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Killian. 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 Killian. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
