About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with a natural love for animals. Attentive to each pet’s unique needs, providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment while owners are away. Experienced with dogs, cats, and small animals—treats every pet like family. I have experience with special needs, and senior pets, as well as potty training puppies. When I meet with family, questions are answered in order to arrange the best schedule for you and your pet. Currently pet sitting is my full-time position, which allows flexibility to keep your fur baby as close to their usual schedule. When caring for a pet in their home, I do my best to keep the same routine and care that the parents keep. Ongoing communication, learning about each individual animals personality, likes and dislikes, and any medical concerns are important to make sure your pet is getting the best care and you have piece of mind while you're away.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. I currently have fostered two large breed dogs. I also volunteer at the animal shelter. I am fear free certified. I have 3 cats and 1 dog at home. I've taken care of every age group in both cats or dogs (puppy-senior). I currently work full-time at the hospital. I am available in the early mornings or after 5pm during work days. I am off most Wednesdays & weekends. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly dog and 3 cats. Pets have full access to the house and yard at all times. They are allowed to hangout on the couches as well! I have pet sat for multiple people in my life and always make sure to lock up while entering or exiting the house! I understand 100% that you work hard for your home & I strive to keep it the way you left it.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, giving me 33 years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I recently worked in the pet care industry, which gave me even more insight into providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I personally own a German Shepherd that I trained myself, so I’m confident in handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior pets who need extra love and gentle attention. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they’re my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday routine! I recently moved to Columbia and have the flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and consistency they need—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or longer stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, so dogs enjoy plenty of daily walks and outdoor time. I have a crate of my own if needed for your pet. My own pets are very friendly and social, so visiting animals will always feel welcomed and comfortable. I keep routines consistent, making sure every pet feels at home with lots of love, attention, and playtime. In Your Home: I care for pets just as you would—keeping their routine, environment, and comfort a top priority. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been around pets all my life. Volunteered as a foster mom for the humane society and took home pets that needed medication given to them. Been around active dogs like Dalmatians and Australian Shepherds as well as older, docile dogs. Did puppy training classes when I raised my Australian shepherd. I work full time so if you request a booking with me I may send you back a message with the hours I work during that time frame. I've also lowered my rates below Rovers "suggested" numbers and made it to where you can "potentially" book me last minute (If my schedule works for you, obviously). I would love to be that sitter that is helping out someone who maybe had a sitter cancel at the last minute or you had an unexpected event happen and didn't really have it in the budget to hire a pet sitter on top of everything else. Or you are just a frugal gal/guy like me and don't think it should break the bank to hire someone to watch your fur children 😊 I can crate your pets when needed, take them on walks, can administer medications if needed. I work well with lists or rules set out to follow for your pets best care in your home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. As a biology student who hopes to become a veterinarian, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule, so I can make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I’ll always communicate with you and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep them in a safe environment, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care all of sorts of animals since I was 12 years old! I live on a farm with many animals so I have experience with almost any situation. I started dog sitting and cat sitting around the same time. My neighbors, friends, and family trust me to walk, feed, play, and care for their furry humans because I treat them like they are my own! I love all animals dearly, and I would never do anything to put them in harms way. I am currently a student at University of South Carolina, so my schedule works around my classes. I don’t have a schedule yet, but I will soon. I am available for weekends. If a time is not listed here, please feel free to ask if I am available. I live in a safe neighborhood known for private pathways perfect for walks! Out neighborhood is dog and cat friendly! I have a fenced in backyard and a fence around the pool as well.

About: Hi, my name is Sergii. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over 35 years. Now I have 2 dogs: a poodle and a boxer. My wife and I love dogs and they love us. We treat our dogs more like family members than pets. We know how it’s difficult to be away from your pup, regardless if it is only a couple of hours or days. We are a team - two very experienced dog owners. We have experience with senior dogs&cats, and pets with special needs; dogs&cats who are highly anxious, and pets who are hyper activity and need a lot of care and attention. Now we put our animal expertise to our small business for pet services. We aim to ensure your dog receives just as much love and care as it does in your presence. I’m willing to feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are not available. My schedule changes from week to week, as I’m still engaged in the transportation of pets, so always have wife for backup. We really care about healthy life style and guarantee the best care for them. I certified the American Red Cross for pet first aid as well. All animals under my care are insured, insurance policy included veterinarian reimbursement. Meeting new animal friends is something that will always bring me joy. Your dog will be in the professional and loving care when under my watch. If I sound like someone you could trust to care for your fur babies, please send me message. DROP-IN VISIT (At your house) I can go to your home multiple times per day to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. Just let me know how many times per day you’d like me to drop-in to check up on your pets/how much time you’d like me to spend while there and what you’d like me to do during drop-in visits and I will make it happen. A care summary report and photos of my drop-in visit with your pets will be sent after each drop-in. DOGGIE WALKS Walks are 30 minutes long, but can also include playtime if requested (e.g 20 minute walk + 10 minutes of play time). 
Meals, treats, water, and medication can be given before or after the walk if requested, just let me know and I would be more than happy to do that.
A care summary report and photos from our walk will be sent after each walk. HOUSE SITTING I can care for your animals in your own home by ensuring your animals are safe and well cared for. I'll spend as much time with your pet as needed so that they have a true companion in your absence. I believe that the best pet care is done when your pet is in his/her own surroundings. I make sure gates and doors are closed and locked when needed, I follow safety checks in the home to ensure your pets are protected. In my clients home I will happily comply with any instructions to keep your pups safe. Anything that is needed for your fur babies!

About: I’ve owned animals since a young child and love them! I am first aid and CPR certified and dedicated to providing safety and comfort to any animals I visit. I love animals and your pets are safe with me! I work flexible hours and can easily handle any requests! I can accommodate most anything you or your pets would need. I am centrally located and efficient as well. I have a fenced yard and one dog that is used to others. My home is a safe space for animals. My yard is safe, clean and a great space to run and play in.

About: Having shared my home with every kind of pet since I was a child, I bring a deep, intuitive understanding to pet care that goes beyond the basics. This extensive experience has given me a special skill for navigating the unique challenges of both ends of the spectrum: I excel at the positive reinforcement needed for training energetic puppies and have the gentle, patient touch required to provide comfort and specialized care for senior pets. When you entrust me with your furry family member, you're choosing a sitter who offers not just reliability, but a genuine, experienced friendship for your pet I have the wonderful luxury of a completely open schedule, which allows me to make pet care my top priority. This means your pet gets my undivided attention, and I can be there for them consistently throughout the day, every day. My approach to in-home pet care is to provide seamless, consistent care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I minimize their stress by keeping them in their familiar environment. If needed to stay in your own home. If they were to come to my home: I have 3 young kids, however if necessary to be away from kids we could do in your home. When pets stay with me, they become part of my family. My home is a safe, loving, and pet-centric environment where they receive constant attention.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to providing them with plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and keeping pets comfortable in their usual routines. Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I am a work from home mom and have all the time to play with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in backyard that is fully secure. I also have an air conditioned garage. All pets are welcome to be inside all day long but sometimes they want to play and run and it’s nice to have a cool down spot. All animals are welcome to stay inside all day and night. I am a light sleeper and wake up to let my senior dog, Lola, out at night for bathroom breaks regularly. I am always home and my daughter has been raised and daughter how to be safe and appropriate with new animals. We treat others and their pets with the respect we would want in return.

About: i have had four years experience working with dogs, including boarding and daycare services, as well as Rescue. this does include dogs who need medicine or special care as well. i deal with many different breeds, and sizes of dogs every day. I have 5 pups i call my own who love adventures and learning new tricks and i’ve owned cats growing up. i am not afraid to get a little fur on my clothes or even a little dirt, because what’s a pet without a little fur? I also do not mind simple grooming as i love trimming my pups nails and fur when they need it, but i am in no way a professional. i do have a young child so dogs must be okay with them. I am off atleast 2-3 days during the week. I have lunch break and some days I work night shift, My availability depends on my schedule but i typically have a few hours midday and afternoon to spare. I have 3 acres of fenced yard and plenty of toys to keep your pup safe and having fun. We do have big pens set up in case dogs need to be seperated or need a break.

About: Im staying in South Carolina more now, so I’m back to being available. I mostly stay home building a homestead, so I have some spare time. Prior Air Force medic, for 5 years, and would house, dog, and babysit for fellow members and leadership. Also, was a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years. I own three big dogs, an kitten and a tortoise, but have had the responsibility of caretaking for pets since I was young. I can schedule pretty much at any time and am willing to work longer hours, if it is needed. I am very flexible. I prefer not to drive over 40 minutes to a location for drop ins and walks, but can if you are unable to find another sitter closer to your location. I do not allow others pets in my own home due to two of my rescue dogs taking a long time to be comfortable around other dogs. I pay very close attention to the slightest changes in a pets mood and can be very reactive in an emergency situation, if it occurs. I am responsible on walks, I will keep your baby safe and not allow others to interfere with them. I will respect your rules and training that you have for your pet in your home and outside environment.

About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

About: For the past 5 years i’ve taken on the amazing job of pet sitting. I’ve sat for numerous families ranging from a single pet, to multiple - of all different ages. I’ve administered medications to elderly dogs daily, taken 3 dogs on a walk at once and played with all sorts of cool animals over the years! As a stay at home mama, to my 2 year old daughter my days are usually open and flexible to accommodate whatever needs you and your pet may have! I’m currently a full-time online stay at home mom, in which I’m able to be home all day. Your pets needs will be tended to immediately throughout the day, along with numerous potty breaks and a lot of love and attention. Currently, we live on 5 acres out in the country. While we have plenty of land to go on walks, we do not have a fenced in yard currently. Therefore, any animals boarded in my home must be able to potty on leashes. Also, we have an outdoor dog & cat that may have a possibility of coming in contact with your animals. So friendly with other animals & children are a must.
