About: I have been around different breeds/mixed dogs and cats for most of my life. I always have enjoyed their unconditional love and companionship. I had the experience of assisting in the birth of our Chihuahua giving birth to 6 pups. At one point we had 5 dogs and a cat from breeds from a Italian Cane Corso to Chihuahua's. They have given me so much love and affection over the years. Not to mention caring for them in the end which is the most difficult. I'm currently retired and having recently relocated to the area. I would be a great fit to care for your pet while you are at work or away on vacation. My schedule is flexible and ready to be a pet giver to your fur baby. I will give them the upmost attention for all of their needs.
“Trina did an excellent job. She had consistant communication to update us and even brought our packages in. You will be glad you trusted her with your fur baby. We will definitely be using her again.”
“I cannot say enough about Kim! She went above and beyond to try and get my shy boy near her, didnt happen but maybe next time. Everytime she went to my house she sent a photo, updated me on how things were going and genuinely just cared! You can tell she is an animal lover and I would recommend her 100% to watch your pet!”
About: I’ve spent over 15 years caring for animals ranging from household pets to farm animals. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely love building trust with shy or high energy pets. Safety, routine, and communication are my priorities. I currently work part-time as a server around 25–30 hours a week, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I’m flexible with scheduling and can make sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and affection they need throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and routines to reduce stress. I pay attention to behavior changes, keep spaces clean and secure, and make sure every pet receives patience, affection, supervision, and personalized care while their owner is away.
“I knew immediately that Tonya was going to be an outstanding pet sitter! You can just tell when someone truly has a love for animals and I got that vibe from her right away. She took great care of our senior dog and communicated with us the entire time we were away. I highly recommend Tonya and will most definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, shy cats, crazy cats, I love them all! You can rest assured your pet will be well taken care of. I do not work a job so I am available to meet all your needs for as little or as long as you need me. I can be trusted to keep your pets in my home. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for exercise and play.
About: As a college soccer player, I’m active, dependable, and used to staying on a schedule. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m attentive, patient, and will treat every pet like my own while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I’m already active, organized, and used to balancing responsibilities as a college athlete. I’m also working a part-time job, but still have plenty of time to spend with cats and dogs throughout the week. I enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure pets stay comfortable by keeping them on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, keep everything clean, and make sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

Atina did a fantastic job caring for my pup (Violet)! Loved the updates and photos/videos… made me feel at ease leaving her alone at the house for an extended time. Violet really seemed to connect with Atina and upon my return I didn’t have the usual ‘fatigued’ dog I get when I board her. The whole experience was 5 stars! Thank you very much for the attention you gave her.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Little River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Little River choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Little River with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
