“McKenzie took great care of our cats, Pepper and Oscar, while we were away. She did drop-in visits, made sure they were fed and checked on, and kept us at ease the whole time. We came home to two happy cats and everything in great shape. Would definitely book her again!”
“I had such a great experience with her! My cat can be a little particular with new people, but she warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. She showed up exactly when she said she would, followed all my instructions carefully, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was done properly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
About: I have always loved dogs and cats. When I was nine years old I found 5 puppies under a shed - tragically their mother was deceased beside them. I carried them home to get them to a safe environment. I brought many lost dogs and cats home. They have a very special place in my heart. I am also American Red Cross CPR certified for dogs and cats. Your dog or cat is a very important member of your family !! I will do everything necessary to keep them safe in my care. I retired from nursing and teaching January 2026. I spend time with my grandchildren but looking to spend more time with dogs and/or cats. I have a flexible schedule. I have a friendly dog Noway and live in an apartment with my husband Mark. We also have a dog park close by. Noway is a gentle sweet dog. He loves people and dogs.
“I feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies (3 rescue dogs of different ages, sizes and breeds) to Jane’s loving care. My pups showed her loving affection quickly at the initial meet and greet, so I knew I found a great match for us. She’s also great with communication and reliable for all our needs. We are glad we found her and look forward to future care by her. She authentically loves animals and cares for their well being.”
“I could not have asked for a better doggy sitter for my butter than Yam! She has a natural ability to connect with animals and it’s so obvious. She cared so well for my dog and it reassured me while I was on vacation. She is dependable and trustworthy. Would book her every time! Thank you!”
About: Hiring someone to play with your dog ensures they get essential physical exercise, mental stimulation, and vital socialization while you are busy. It prevents destructive behaviors caused by boredom and helps manage separation anxiety by breaking up their long day. I’m currently full time with the state agriculture department. (Exotic invasive) I love animals and enjoy getting to know pets and their parents and friends. I currently have a four year old miniature poodle that I walk two hours a day in the neighborhood or at the beach. During the day when I am at work she has free-rain of the house.
About: I am a mom. I can manage a potty trained dogs and animals. Love walks/cuddles. Daily walks. A routine. I wake up early for a morning walk, longer walk during the day and then a night walk to get energy or pees/poops out. I walk my golden every day/3 x a day. Loving service dog. Docile golden. Sweet with animals. He has been around multiple small dogs, cats, hamsters. Always sweet. I have a fenced yard with locks on the gate. Animals can go in or out. Cool breeze patio. Animals can sit on couch. Fresh water multiple times per day. Snacks if permitted. Lots of love from school aged kids.
About: Hi! I’m Kristina, a big dog lover who enjoys walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I’m reliable, friendly, and treat every pup like they’re my own. I make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tail-waggingly happy! Currently, I work part-time for myself at home. This makes me very flexible & available to help with your fur babies! I am available for day time visits and overnight stays at my home. I have a large fenced yard for your pup to run and play in. I have two friendly doodles to keep your baby company too. I can easily crate if desired as well.
“Mari took exceptional care of our two young kittens while we were away! We were nervous leaving them for the first time, but she made us feel much better. She arranged a drop-in visit beforehand to meet the cats and asked all the right questions, which helped put our minds at ease. While we were gone, she sent us daily updates and photos. We could tell our kittens were comfortable and in good hands. We even came home to a cleaner apartment than we left! Mari went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful. We’d 100% book with her again. Thank you so much.”
“Martha was phenomenal with my mini australian shepherd! She was always on time and quick to respond to any requests. I would definetly recommend her for any kind of pet, and I will be rebooking in the future! Thank you!”
“Grateful for Tim who was available and willing check up on and take care of Bella, our four month old puppy at a moments notice. It’s reassuring to have someone reliable and trustworthy coming into our home. He came on time, stayed for the hour long visit, played, fed and made sure she was ready to return to her crate before leaving. His willingness to drop in gave me peace of mind while I had to be away for a day of work. Thank you Tim!”
About: I bring hands-on experience and a genuine understanding of animals to every visit. I’ve volunteered in animal shelters, where I worked with pets of all temperaments, and I’m also a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat—so I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, cats, and multi-pet households, and I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very structured and disciplined. As a Division 1 athlete, I train almost twice a day, which has taught me strong time management, consistency, and reliability qualities I bring into every pet sitting job. Outside of training, I make time for my family and friends, but I keep my schedule flexible and plan ahead so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m able to adapt and provide dependable, consistent support for both pets and their owners. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on a routine that feels familiar to them. In my home, I provide a clean, calm environment with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention based on each pet’s energy level and personality. I’m mindful of introductions and space, especially since I have both a dog and a cat, and I make sure every animal feels secure and respected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Susanne’s updates were very reassuring and thorough each day. She sent great pictures too. We are very grateful to be able to depend on Susanne to take excellent care of our cats when we’re away.”
“Jayna was fantastic with our 10-month-old boy! She’s wonderful with him. She was professional, communicative, followed our instructions carefully, and even went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable while we were away. Jayna is truly part of the family now, and our pup loves seeing her. Thank you for everything, Jayna — you’re the best!”

I would love to help care for your dog, whether it’s sitting or walking. I am pursuing pet care full time so my schedule is flexible for walks and pet sitting. I will work with you to make sure your dog is taken care of and happy! I am very thorough in making sure every pet has a safe and comfortable space.

“Maureen is beyond helpful, kind and knowledgeable when it came to taking care of my cat Kolo. I received very detailed updates on how he was doing and many useful pieces of information to better take care and make him more comfortable. Maureen really went out of her way to make Kolo feel comfortable, and even brought him toys, treats and a gift that I will cherish for a long time. I will be using her services again and feel very blessed to have had her take care of my cat. Would highly recommend to anyone!!”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our two cats. She went above and beyond, helping with an unexpected package delivery. One of our cats is very shy and he warmed up to Lindsey which was great knowing he was not hiding the whole time we were gone. We will definitely use Lindsey again!”
Lake Murray pet parents share their Rover experiences
Here’s a polished review you can post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maureen was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in at the last minute to help us, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and immediately connected with Oso. In fact, she even taught him a new trick while caring for him! Beyond her expertise, Maureen was so sweet, caring, and attentive. She treated both Oso and our home with great respect, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would happily have her back anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Maureen! 🐾💕
Sasha was amazing! Could not have asked for a better sitter for my cat. She made sure my cat was comfortable and would even take the time to track her down in all het favorite hiding spots. She sent a lot of photos which is so reassuring for a cat mom who wants to make sure her baby is okay! By the second visit she earned my shy cat’s trust enough to give her pets, treats, and play a bit too! You can tell she genuinely cares and loves animals. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future!!
Grace was absolutely amazing! She is so kind, warm, and easy to talk to. She was incredibly patient with my Mia, who can be a little anxious and scared around new people, but Mia really warmed up to her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mia was happy, safe, and genuinely well cared for. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Lara did an excellent job taking care of my two 🐈 .She was always on time and very reliable, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates she provided after each visit—it was reassuring to know how my cats were doing and that they were in good hands. She was attentive, caring, and clearly experienced with pets. My cats were well taken care of, and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!
Sommer was great and I’ll definitely be booking with her again for future needs. From the initial meet-and-greet to the daily check-ins and pictures, she really knows how to put you at ease knowing your pups are in good hands. I have a senior dog (maltipoo) who needs to be carried up and down the stairs, as well as a younger dog (pit/lab mix) who can be a handful and she gave both of them the attention and care they needed. She also administered daily medication and was always thorough, communicative and reliable throughout the week. Thank you so much, Sommer!
Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)
