“I was out of town when the hurricane hit, and Chloe took the time regularly every day to keep me updated on how she and my pets were doing. Its so nice to know she was alright and that my pets were well taken care of...my neighbors and she kept in touch as well in case she needed help.. Thanks Chloe!!!”


“Heather was GREAT!!! It was our first time leaving our dog Alfie in over a year and I was feeling just as anxious as him! I knew when Heather stopped over for the meet and great she would do so good with him! Over our weekend away, she sent several pictures and texts knowing everything was ok at home. I really feel that she comforted and cared for my Alfie like he was her own. I would definitely recommend her! She went above and beyond in every way!”


“Valarie is so great with the dogs. I know they get a ton of attention and play time and she always sends a lot of pics which we appreciate. I feel safe leaving my fur babies with her and already have her booked for several future vacations.”


About: I’ve always had pets growing up and some would say I prefer animals over people. I’ve been involved in rescue since 2004 and have seen firsthand just how cruel people can be. As a former vet tech, I promise to take care of your babies just like my own. You have nothing to worry about while you’re away. Lots of check ins, photos and love! I do work full time M-F but am available before and after work. Depending on location, a quick trip at lunch to say hi may work too. I’m totally available on weekends. while visiting your home, your kiddos will be safe with me. Whether it’s playing in a fenced yard or on leash, They will get all the exercise they need.

“Sasha did a wonderful job with my small dog Ellie. She stayed at the house and the house was in fabulous shape and I was not worried at all. She is very mature and responsible. I am looking forward to using her again.”


“Riley was fantastic. She stayed over night with our two dogs and we could tell that they didn’t miss a beat. She was very thoughtful, kept the house clean and even put the sheets in the laundry room. We will definitely use her again.”


“MicKayla was great — she was on time everyday, sent pictures, stayed in contact with us with any updates or questions and came home to our pets being happy in house the way we left it — highly recommend to anyone and we will be booking again with her next time”


“Timia was great to our pups while we were away! She was a joy to get to meet beforehand. She took her time letting the dogs get to know her. Dogs seemed to have a great time with her here, and we came home to two well cared for pups. Thanks Timia for easing our minds while we were away, and loving on them extra well. If schedules align, we will definitely have Timia back!”


“Whitney was WONDERFUL. She accommodated our request to let her dogs meet her before she house sat for us and the whole weekend she was here she sent us picture updates of the dogs. When we got back the dogs were so content and happy, the house literally looked the same as we left it, and she brought packages in off the porch for us. All the dogs got all their meds and were very happy, we’ll be using Whitney again in the future!”


“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She took them on several walks despite the Columbia heat in July. I could tell they were well loved from the pictures she sent while we were away. She also was very helpful with a water issue we had at the house while we were gone. Definitely would use her in the future!”


About: I lost my sweet Clark (Yorkie/Chihuahua) in 2019. During the time he was with me, I also was the caregiver for my daughter's 2 dogs and a cat whenever they were away from home. I also was the main caregiver for a friend's 2 Bichons while they were away on vacations. It was a happy mix though Clark was a little intimidated by the Bichon brother and sister, we managed to find a way for everyone to be happy. I do not have a dog at the moment. I would do my best to make sure your sweet baby, felt secure and loved. I would make myself available according to their needs. I do not have any pets at the moment. I had a small Yorkie/Chihuahua mix (Clark) for 10 years before he passed from age related illness. I miss him. I would love to care for your sweet baby with lots of affection, play and walks.

“Ken was so great with our dogs, he played with them and love them like they were his own dogs, it was really awesome to have him take care of them for us, he's a really nice guy and very down to earth and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”


“Emily was so sweet to our dog, Odin! In the pictures she sent, he looked so relaxed and happy, which just warms my heart and makes me feel better about leaving him with a Rover sitter. Emily was communicative and left our house in great condition. We look forward to having her sit again soon!”


“Alexandria did a great job taking care of our puppy. She entertained her, took her for walks and kept me updated through texts and pictures. Before she left, she even cleaned up the toys our puppy usually leaves everywhere.”


About: Coming from a family of animal lovers, I feel that I have inherited a passion for loving God's little creatures. I have experience in pet sitting cats, dogs, and even rats. Over the years, I've had the privilege of raising a number of different animals; some of which include: an opossum, deer, squirrels, bunnies, ducklings, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and of course, cats & dogs! Additionally, I have experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, senior care, and administering medication. I am currently enrolled at USC and work limited hours as an in-home caregiver for a young woman with special needs. Most of my classes are online so my schedule remains very flexible! I approach every animal with the gentleness and love that they deserve. I am happy to provide for your pet in anyway that you need!

About: I love animals and dogs have been a part of my life for the last 20 years. I’m experienced administering medication, caring for seniors and simply having fun. I’m around full-time most weekends and early on Fridays. Monday through Thursday- in/out and not optimal for a young pup! My availability is primarily weekends. I’m super clean and will make sure the bathroom schedule is followed. While inside, we will play with toys, have nap time (if it’s a part of the plan), have meal time unless it’s free feed, etc

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life, I love dogs and cats and all animals for that matter. So in case you have another animal as well as the dogs, I am totally and conpletely willing to watch and take care of them as well. I am very good with instructions on how to take care of them in a certain way if you please. I will show them so much love and compassion, I will snuggle with them, and play with them until their satisfied or have no more energy left. I always make sure they go outside for potty breaks every so often. I will always make sure they are fed enough and if so fed the amount the owner desires. I will also make sure they get plenty of walks and exercise. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! I’m available on weekends and weekdays! I am the proud pet owner of a three-year-old German Shepherd and two cats one 8 year-old and one 2 year-old. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life so I know how to keep them entertained and loved as much as they need!
