Erica was wonderful. She came to check Mikey, walk with him, and play him for five days. I can tell when I returned home he was happy and well cared for. Thank you so much Erica. I could not have done what I did this week without your help.

About: Hi! I am a student and football player at Furman University. I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and comfort. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I’m currently home for the month of May from college. I love being active and working out is a huge part of my daily life. Throughout the month I will sporadically be doing some shadowing in the Wealth Management space. My schedule is basically wide open and I plan to fill a lot of that time by caring for pets. I’m happy to walk your dog for as long as needed, and I also enjoy doing drop-in visits. I take pride in making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and in good hands.

About: I have been taking care of family dogs and my neighbors dogs since I was 10. I also raised my puppy since she was 4 weeks old. I am currently not working so I have open availability preferably mornings and afternoons. I am willing to work around your schedule as well if needed. I have a big yard with a 6foot tall fence, so they have freedom in the backyard to play and run. I also am cautious with the animals when they are outside.

Kristin was an amazing cat sitter! One of our cats was dealing with some health issues before we had left, Kristin was very attentive and was there twice a day to give him his medicine. Very detailed updates and tons of cute pictures! We truly feel like she cared for our cats like they were her own. 10/10 recommend!

Natalie is INCREDIBLE, we loved having her watch our cat Tuft several times and trusted her with our high energy, and often times difficult to work with dog Bree, this time around and we have nothing but high praise! She went above and beyond, made sure auto feeders had enough without us even asking and even making sure to check in on them prior to a wild storm that came through to make sure they’d be equipped for anything from power outages to general nerves. Cannot recommend her enough!

Jordan has an amazing way with my high-energy, anxious rescued Aussie. Lilly was content, relaxed and happy when I came home. Gone was the usual anxiety I am typically greeted with! Lilly looks forward to seeing Jordan and we can both tell she loves working with dogs. I greatly appreciate her help!

If I could give 100 stars I would. Minh was the most conscientious and communicative dog sitter we have ever had. My great pyr loved her and was spoiled by Minh’s visits. She always stayed much longer than was expected and even looked after a few things at our home we hadn’t asked. She is a dream sitter!! 100+ stars!

Jane came by before my trip to learn about my cat Pearl and her habits. Jane was very easy to work with and very likable. She visited Pearl for 6 days, leaving new food and water. Pearl hid from Jane every time, but Jane texted a Pic of the new fday's food and water. I will definitely use Jane again! Thanks Jane

About: I am fresh out of high school and just turned 18. I’ve been looking forward to being able to join Rover as a sitter for 5 years. I love animals and have a bond with most. I have 2 dogs, a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua. I am also a volunteer with the No Kill Cat Rescue. And am always the go-to person for all my friends and family who need me to watch their pets! I have school from 9 am to 4 pm so i am free to work from 4:10 pm to 10 pm! Feel free to book me then! I love animals and i try my best to follow every single rule that an owner gives me. I love training dogs a bit to get their mind sharper and i love to pet and brush them if needed.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog, Valen, while we were away! Judd went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands animals. Valen took to him instantly, which gave us so much peace of mind. Judd kept us updated daily with photos, videos, and little notes about their adventures together, so we always felt connected. It was heartwarming to see Valen so happy and well cared for, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. He even gave her a bath!! Judd was not only incredibly responsible and attentive to Valen’s needs, but he also left the most thoughtful gifts for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came back to a relaxed and joyful pup, and we’re so grateful for the love and care Judd provided. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further than Judd. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

About: I work from home and would love an excuse to get up from my desk and what better excuse than to get some puppy and dog cuddles while also getting exercise by walking. I currently have a corporate work from home job that requires me to be at a desk. This type of schedule fits into my routine because it allows me to visit pets before starting work, at lunch or breaks, and also after work. My schedule is very flexible that I can meet you where you need it. I am very detail oriented and a huge pet lover at heart so when I am visiting your house, I respect the house rules and follow instructions to a T. I also am very high energy due to ADHD and am a great partner for fetch and walks.

We absolutely love Samantha! My husband and I always book her whenever we travel because we know our two cats are in great hands. She takes wonderful care of them, makes sure they’re happy and doing well, and spends time playing with them and giving them attention. The peace of mind she provides while we’re away is truly priceless. We never have to worry because we know our cats are being cared for like they’re her own. Highly recommend-book her! 🐱❤️
