“Could not have asked for a better stay for Ollie and Rori. I absolutely cannot recommend Debbie more! She is phenomenal. She sends daily pictures with a sweet message to keep you updated. My pups came back so happy and so sleepy. Debbie treats your babies like her own- absolutely must book with her!”

Caroline P.

“The boys seemed well cared for! Nice to have a dog lovers home to leave your precious ones with when gone for extended stretch of time! Becky was great, very friendly and enthusiastic about dogs.”

“Whitney and her family were wonderful with my pup! She’s an older dog and walks slow and snores loud and Whitney and her family showed he lots of love and attention, I felt like my pup was on vacation too! It was such good peace of mind to know my pup was being treated so well and cared for and was spoiled with lots of love and cuddles and attention. Thank you so much Whitney!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, receive plenty of attention, and be treated like part of the family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, especially when you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along. I also follow each owner’s instructions because I know every dog has their own routine and personality.

“We left our 7 month old English Cocker Spaniel, Bo, with Merrell while visiting family in town. He had never stayed with anyone else overnight so we were already a little anxious, but Merrell did a great job welcoming him in and making sure he was loved on. She kept us updated on his status and sent lots of pictures throughout his stay. It worked out well and we are already planning on booking with her again when we visit for Christmas. Highly recommend Merrell if you’re in need of a sitter in Columbia.”

“Tamera is fantastic. Marley (sheepadoodle) and Stormy (labradoodle puppy) came home happy and tired. Each day I received videos, pictures and updates. Tamera was understanding about puppy mistakes and her dog, Skrewball, was very patient and good with my dogs. I will use her again should the need arise! Can’t say enough good things about this experience!”

“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”

Diane S.

“Adia was very loving and accommodating for our nervous pup. We also really appreciated her willingness to work with us when plans changed during the trip. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

Jennifer K.

“Christina took fabulous care of our little kitty. We were a bit apprehensive leaving her for the first time, but Blakely received personal care and adjusted quickly to her new situation. Christina was good about giving us updates via photos, videos, and messages. We would definitely bring our kitty to Christina again next time we go away. I highly recommend Christina!”

About: Hi! I am new to SC, recently moved from FL, and new to Rover. However, I am not new to caring for domestic animals! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I have an accumulated 10 years of experience with dogs, cats, and birds. The animals I have been able to care for have been my own, family's and friend's. I am an ex-military spouse. I've done day care, house sitting, boarding, and drop-in visits for people with high security profiles. I have experience with puppies, senior or ill animals, shelter history animals, and difficult intelligent stubborn and power, and herding breeds. I use positive rewarding with the animals and I believe this paired with other training methodologies work best for your pets life-long learning (an animal never stops training). I also use pet corrector aerosol for breaking up or stopping any unwanted behavior that otherwise would injure me to do by force or if the breed is much larger than me and leash pulls or lunges a lot (I weigh 100lbs and I am 4'11"! I need all the non-forceful and safest enhancements I can get). It works really well and I recommend to all dog owners that have a hard time stopping behavior without e-collars, chokers, etc. Dakota, my dog has never had an e-collar and she behaves really well and is obedient thanks to its help and to additional amateur training I did with her by myself. I clean/disinfect my home every day in the mornings and at night, between visits, and at your home services so that areas where the animals are at are hygienic. I have experience making homemade meals for dogs. I have experience with mitigating and adjusting for allergies. I can identify behavioral issues like reactivity, anxiety, high prey drive, and boredom in a dog in order to mitigate it and correct it if necessary. I want their success and their ease while they are in my care. I try to make most walks structured walks so that way your furry friend has some stimulation even on short walks. I clean up any Oopsies the doggy may have done inside of the home. Prices may vary. I do walks 4 times in the day when at my home and 2 while I am away at work and depending on the weather. I give baths as long as the dog is safe and comfortable and if necessary. Prices vary. I am a professional in the food and beverage industry and my schedule varies throughout the week. Please send me a direct message to discuss and verify my availability of the dates and times for the care of your loved animal friend. Care in my home: I do not have a fence which I prefer because it gives a lot of free roaming space for my dog and other dogs. I always make sure to practice meticulous leash training and exploring with the dogs. Sometimes it is even better that way to keep their attention engaged and structure their walks so that they are well stimulated after their walks and have little energy for escape stunts! 15-20 minutes of sniffari's is equivalent to 1 hour of physical exertion for these common domestic furry friends. Care in your home: There is nothing they like more than classical conditioning reinforcement, if necessary. This means I try to do some training tricks which keep them engaged and stimulated. I make sure to address any specific instructions from you and ask questions. If I see the animal tends to have a bad habit at something specific I will check with you to see if they would be okay with my mitigation of the situation: i.e.) if a puppy likes to chew at chords I would ask you if you are okay with me putting the chords in unreachable places around the home or unplugging them. Of course, knowing there is a possibility that I may have to keep up with that task throughout the service. I make sure to keep doors locked of any rooms that the animals are not allowed in. I also reset everything in your home as you left it, unless otherwise requested differently.

About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!

“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”

Antionette C.

“Wonderful first time experience with Lexie!! She’s kind, professional, and sends pictures during the stay. I was impressed with how clean and neat her home was. I never even saw dog hair. Our girl had a great time! We will certainly be booking with her again.”

Melanie D.

“Qais was a great host for Luka, took him on trail walks and had a very good dog companion to hang out with. Will use again and will recommend.”

“Janece and Matthew were gr8 with Lovie. She was definitely cared for. She is VERY spoiled and requires a lot of attention. Thank you so much. I would recommend this home to care for your fur baby/babies.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!

“Super convenient. We came down to Fort Jackson for graduation. There are hotels 4 minutes away and Fort Jackson was 15 minutes and a very easy drive. Isabela was great, Sent multiple pictures of our pup enjoying his stay with her. If you are coming down with your fur baby for graduation, this is your sitter.”

“Kayla was the best with our family dog, Lucy! You could tell she took loving care of her and treated her incredibly well. We will be using her again!”
