“Tyler did a wonderful job caring for our kitties. I had set up an automatic feeder to give the cats dry food (Tyler was giving them wet food at his visits) and the cats toppled it and knocked it over. The next day, they clawed into the sealed bag of food I’d left out. Both times, Tyler graciously cleaned it up and helped me devise a way to keep the cats from doing it again. He checked in daily and sent occasional photos and videos, which my kids loved. I will definitely use him again!”
“Kirsten was a great find when I needed someone to watch my special needs dachshund while he stayed with my brother. He really enjoyed spending time with her and she was sensitive to his needs. Would absolutely rebook with Kirsten the next time I'm in the Covington area!”
About: After growing up with all kids of dogs, and raising my own puppy the past few months, I’m excited to help take care of your little ones when you need help! I’m currently a full-time online college student working toward my Master’s, and am very flexible to accommodate you and yours little ones’ needs! I’ll follow your instructions, whatever they may be. I have rules with my little one and understand the importance of routine. Every dog is unique, so are their routines!
“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”
About: I have provided pet care for dogs & cats since the 1980s. I have also cared for my pets over my lifetime: dogs, cats, rabbits,& birds. I also have experience with horses, llamas, pigs, goats, sheep, monkeys & lemurs. But I do NOT do spiders or snakes. Besides caring for my 3 rescue pups, I also run my own business, so my schedule is usually somewhat flexible. But my calendar books up quickly. I currently do drop-in visits at your home. I have my own transportation. Besides keeping to your pets feeding schedule, I am happy to spend time with them, if they're not afraid of new people. And I'm happy to walk dogs that are 40 lbs or less.
“Nicole was wonderful! She responded at the last minute (great communication) and took great care of our boy Teddy! We will definitely use her again when we are back at Clemson! Thank you so much!”
About: Hi there! I’m Grace — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I grew up with two cats, one timid and one diabetic, so I learned early on how to handle medications and even give injections with care and patience. Now, my husband and I share our home with two lovable black lab rescues — one who’s reactive and needs extra reassurance, and another who’s the definition of friendly! We also have a sweet outdoor orange cat who decided our yard was home. Because of my background, I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or have medical needs, as well as those who just want all the cuddles and playtime. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family for years, and I treat every animal like my own — with love, respect, and attention to their unique personality. Whether your pet needs a calm presence, an active play buddy, or just someone reliable while you’re away, I’d love to help! i’m currently working as a full-time Wedding photographer. So, I have a schedule that is pretty flexible throughout the week. On the weekends, I’m available in the mornings and nights. However, I typically am wrapped up at a wedding during the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and needs — and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Because of my background, I’m experienced with pets who need special attention or medication. I’ve administered insulin injections, handled reactivity with patience and calm, and cared for both anxious and social animals. I believe in gentle communication, positive reinforcement, and maintaining consistent routines so pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be cared for as if they were my own. I keep owners updated with photos, messages, and honest communication so you never have to worry. My goal is simple: for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I specialize in misunderstood breeds, in heat females and intact males. I can work with reactive dogs, dogs with dog aggression and dont mind moody dogs who just want to be left alone. I work an 8-5 job during the week but am free every weekend, your pet will travel with me to dog shows as well. I also am off all federal holidays. In my home, I allow free roam of my living room and bedroom with someone always watching. I allow them on furniture and follow all instructions to a tee
About: I’ve taken care of my community’s pets since I was 17. I’ve cared for almost all kinds of pets. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards, you name it! I always try to go the extra mile so that pet parents not only come home to a happy, healthy pet; but a clean and well-cared for home! I am a middle school band director who works 7-3 most days. However, I can go before and after school care and I can spend nights! My kittens get fed twice a day, they get a new toy once a month and go to the vet once a month! They also have their litter box scooped every night and cleaned once a week. They even sleep in the bed with me. If I’m caring for dogs, they go on at least 3 walks a day of varying length (depending on the dog). I frequently watch a 13 year old pug who can’t stay out very long, so he goes on 3, 10-minute walks a day. However, if your dog has the endurance to go on a longer walk/run with me - I’ll take them up to 3 miles!
About: I’ve loved animals ever since i was young. From giving puppies baths to taking them on walks, animals have always been a huge part of my life.. and i would love to take care of yours<3 I’m currently at home all week… i have extra time on my hands and would love to spend it with animals and that could be your dog or cat! I have a small fenced backyard and a quiet community that is great for walks:) we also have a screened in back porch that our cat loves to lounge in..
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.
About: I had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
“We were really pleased with her communication and care for our dog and would absolutely choose her again. Our dog seemed perfectly content when we returned home. She was very professional and listened to our requests.”
About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lavonia 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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
