About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve grown up with just about every type of animal from small to large, I’ve worked at dog rehabilitation centers, I’ve been a dog groomer for over 12 years (still grooming out of my home) I’ve worked as a vet tech in multiple veterinary clinics as well. I’m a professional groomer that works from home, my kiddos are 12, 8 and 2 with my oldest two in school during the day, so my daily routine is usually about the same lol I groom just about every day, and also occasionally board for my long term grooming clients as well! With me working from home I would absolutely prefer your pet to be dropped off and picked up, your pet will have the opportunity to play/hang out with my personal dog, go outside plenty of times and also have that human interaction as well rather then being in a kennel/run for hours on end before getting let out to go potty.

“Nikki took very good care of my Yorkshire Suzy. It was 15 days on the road and Nikki sent me daily photos and videos of my dog. Nikki has an excellent fenced backyard for the dogs. If I need someone to take care of Suzy again, I'll be happy if Nikki receives her again.”

About: (My legal name is Lauren, but I go by Alex, Rover won’t let me change it - so if you see my reviews and they all say Alex that is why) I have been caring for other’s pets for many years and have repeat clients because I treat their animal as if they are my own! I work full time during the week but have plenty of time after work/on the weekends to be fully invested in the well being of your pet. I have the sweetest puppy (almost a year old) at home who loves to play with other dogs. She is up to date on all her vaccinations, as we take her to off leash dog parks/daycare on a regular basis that require those records. I also have an 8 year old cat at home who keeps to herself.

“Jennifer did such a wonderful job watching our puppy, Patches. She communicated very well and sent us lots of pics and videos. We were so nervous, because we had never used Rover and never left Patches with anyone, but we felt very comfortable after meeting Jennifer. When we picked Patches up, he seemed like his normal self. We can’t say thank you enough to Jennifer for taking such great care of Patches!”

About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have over 10 years of experience in pet care services, and I’m passionate about providing loving and reliable care for your furry friends. I also have a 7 year old dog named Karson who’s super friendly and loves meeting new friends! I work from 8 AM to 4PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. On weekdays, I come home during my break to let the dogs out and give them some love. Every day after work, the first thing we do is head outside to play in the yard! I have a pet-friendly house with a privacy fence, so your pet has plenty of space to play and relax safely. I’ll be giving them lots of love and care. I have an extra-large crate available if your dog needs one for any reason.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of different breeds for family and friends. I also helped my granny on the farm when she use to breed cocker spaniels. Puppies are perfect for cuddles but so are big dogs who think they still fit in your lap ! I enjoy taking my Doberman on runs in the park, he’s very friendly and loves meeting new pup pals ! Depending on the schedule my husband or son may be with me on the visits. My husband is military and often out of town so we enjoy dog walking and sitting together and cannot wait for our lives to settle down where we can add another fur baby to our tribe. I’m currently going to college and working but my hours are 9 to 5 which allow me to be flexible with morning and evening routines. I am currently not offering in home care for pets at this time. If this changes I will update my profile and detail sections. Thank you.

About: I am experienced with all breeds and sizes as a former veterinary kennel technician and promise to always be punctual and trustworthy. I have years of experience house sitting and walking many different breeds including labradors, golden retrievers, pit bulls, basset hounds, shih tzus, and more. I also personally trained my 7 year old labrador retriever when he was a puppy to heal on command, sit, stay, shake, roll over, beg, twist (turn in a circle), and to come on command when called off leash. I also have experience with cats as I have an 11 month old kitten as well. I truly am an avid animal lover and have hopes of attending veterinary school in the future so I promise to give your animals all the love and attention that they need.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Livingston home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Livingston.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Livingston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
