About: Hi there! I’m Journey, a senior at Clemson University. I plan on using any proceeds I get for any and all college funds. Thank you so much for helping out 🤎 I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets for around 5 years. Clemson, I have made friends that also have pets and I have been the go to to care for them when they are away. I have four dogs of my own, three at my family‘s house and one here at Clemson. They have all types of pets, from dogs and cats, to bird and lizards, horses, and a guinea pig. They have always relied on my to make sure their pets are happy, healthy, and well taken care of for hours, days, or sometimes weeks. I start university in late August, however, throughout the week, especially on weekends I am available to give your pets the proper care, love, and support they want, need, and deserve! I currently cannot have pets over my home, however that does not mean that I will care for your dogs any differently then how I care for my own. I will comfort them, play, feed and water, walk, and anything extra that your pet may need or want :)
About: Before I moved to College of Charleston I pet sat around my neighborhood for around 2 years. I also have 4 dogs at home including a foster dog currently and would love to meet y'all's furry friends because I don’t have an animal in my dorm currently! I can walk your doggies pretty much any time except for Wednesday's and Sunday's! typically on weekdays it’s after 12pm, and on Saturdays it’s all day! I take care of my animals with love. sticking to their schedule while involving the upmost playfulness and kindness. I will clean up after them, and like i would with my own dogs and cats put their safety and health first. If there was ever something to happen, immediately calling their owner and sticking by their 4 legged side!
About: I began working at Radnor Veterinary Hospital as a Boarding Attendant, where I cared for a variety of animals, primarily dogs, and was responsible for feeding, walking, medicating, and monitoring their daily needs. I then worked as a Veterinary Assistant at the Exotic and Small Animal Hospital of PA, where I gained extensive hands-on experience with both small animals and exotic pets. I assisted with appointments, treatments, medications, laboratory work, and monitoring patients before, during, and after procedures. This experience taught me how to recognize changes in an animal’s behavior and health, safely handle animals, and provide attentive care for pets with different needs. I am currently a pre-veterinary student at Clemson University pursuing my passion for becoming a veterinarian. I especially enjoy caring for rabbits and dogs, but honestly just love being around animals. I have classes regularly; however, in the afternoon and later evenings, I am usually free almost every day! I try to be really flexible; however, school does create some constraints. I make sure to locate the nearest vet in case of an emergency, keep a close eye on your pet during the whole time, and record if I see anything unusual.
“Alaina was amazing with my cat, Bitty! She was quick to respond and very thorough in making sure she understood all of Bitty’s needs. She sent great pictures and kept me updated on her visits, which gave me so much peace of mind. 10/10 would absolutely recommend her!”
About: Throughout my life, I’ve always had a dog to look out for, whether it was my own or someone else’s. I have been dog sitting off and on for the last 5-6 years and I currently live with a dog that I take a lot of responsibility for. I am currently a full time student at Clemson University, but my classes are set up in a way where I can and will check in on my pets every 6 hours or less. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! As of right now I am a full time student at lander and I have a part time job mostly on the weekends. If needed for house sitting or check-ins, I can make time before or after my classes to go check on the pets and make sure they are well taken care of. In my own home, I make sure to dedicate some time throughout the day to go outside and play around with my dog to ensure she gets some love and social activity. Whenever I stay or check in at my clients home, I first check on all of the pets and make sure they’re happy and healthy.
“So kind and loving to our doggo! My husband and I were gone all day and Mia sent reassuring updates and cute pictures 🥰 And our girl seemed very comfy and well-cared for when we got home. Thank you Mia! 😁🐾”
“Audrey was absolutely incredible ! We booked with her last minute and she was able to fit such a busy visit request in her schedule. (16 visits total over the course of 8 days) We gave her full flexibility as long as she visited our Luna twice a day and she exactly that ! She kept me completed posted everytime she went and was always so enthusiastic about her visit and the next one to come and I truly believe she was upset when she came for the last time ! Her and Luna certainly bonded! She sent a BUNCH of pictures that we began looking forward to after each one ! She cleaned up quite a few messes and I honestly think she left the house cleaner then we left it for her ! I would absolutely recommend her to everyone and anyone that needs a sitter! We absolutely loved her and will certainly be rebooking with her in the future! This was the very first time that Luna was by herself and although she did experience some anxiety that we were gone, we couldn't have booked with a better person than Audrey to make the time away much easier ! Thank you again for everything !”
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and truly hands-on care I give every pet. I’m used to managing high-maintenance, high-love dogs, so I understand routines, health needs, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m extremely detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medications, and cleanliness, and I’m always tuned in to a pet’s body language and comfort level. I have experience with: puppies, sensitive or anxious dogs, senior care, and daily photo updates - so you always feel connected. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine over Christmas break because I have a lot of free time and flexibility. I’m home with my three Frenchies, so I’m already in a consistent rhythm of feeding, playtime, walks, and attention throughout the day. Adding another pet into that routine is easy and natural. Since I’m not in classes during break, I’m able to give pets tons of time, structure, and supervision. Whether it’s sticking to a specific schedule, getting outside for exercise, or just providing comfort and company, I can be fully present and attentive. During the holidays, caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — I genuinely have the time and availability to make it a priority. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. At my home, pets join my three friendly Frenchies for supervised play, consistent feeding times, potty breaks, and plenty of attention—especially since I have lots of free time over Christmas break. In a client’s home, I follow your exact schedule and house rules so your pet feels secure in their familiar space. In both settings, I stay attentive, communicative, and treat every pet like my own.
About: I am a reliable provider that responds quickly, communicates proactively, and is compassionate to both the pet and owner. As a student, I am looking for an excuse to get away from my desk and release both myself and your pets of our energy! (También sirvo a la comunidad hispanohablante) As a masters student, I am very flexible with my schedule as my work is mostly computer based and outside the classroom. I do not have classes Monday-Wednesday so I am free all day for multiple visits/walks. I will also be free on available weekends for play dates or drop ins when you want to take that well needed vacation! I believe that pet ownership is a great responsibility, and I am here to help you with it. Each animals need is unique, and I cater my services to make sure everyone leaves happy and satisfied!
About: I have approached every single dog owner I have ever seen in order to ask them to pet their dog. My friends and family have always called me a dog whisperer because I’m usually able to even pet the shyest of dogs. I am looking to work part time. I am about to go back to college, but I am free every day except Sunday mornings (church) and Monday night (small groups). I have two Australian shepherds whom I have helped to train. I take them on at least one walk a day and we have a fenced in yard which they can go out into multiple times a day. I help to feed them and take care of them on a daily basis.
About: I have had a dog for most of my life and always have a special place in my heart for all animals. I currently have a mini dachshund of my own!! He is three months old and I take care of him mostly alone, along with my boyfriend. I take care of my boyfriend’s dogs often by taking them on walks, feeding them, giving them their medications, etc. I am very patient and love to be outside, which is perfect for handling pups! I work part time 5 days a week but I am usually free early morning or evening depending on my shift! I am usually off one day during the week and one day on the weekends. I will make sure to follow any instructions exactly given by owners. If any pet needs to go to my home I have an outdoor area and indoor areas where they can stay safely.
About: Over the past three years I have worked at two boarding/training/daycare facilities for dogs. My love of animals is why I’m getting my undergraduate degree at Clemson University for Animal Veterinary Science, pre - vet. I love caring for animals and making sure all their needs are met. I am currently a student at Clemson University, I have classes on Monday-Friday. Monday and Tuesday I have one class so those days are very free, Wednesday-Friday I have two classes so I’m not as available for long stays, but walks/drop ins I’m still very free! Saturdays and Sundays I’m free all day! At my home we have two labs, one is 15 years old so she requires special care such as wearing a diaper when not on a walk. I am very flexible with what I can provide when requested from the pet parent. I also currently have a Doberman puppy so I am very comfortable with taking care of puppy needs or just energetic dogs in general.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pendleton
Lauren was so sweet and just what we needed for our boy. We came to Clemson for the football game and needed someone to let him out during the day. I took a chance with Rover and found Lauren. She walked him extra which I know he enjoyed and she sent me updates and pics the entire time. Will be reaching out to her again if he comes with us for other football games. Thank you so much, Lauren!!
This is our second time having Laurel watch our babies while we are out of town. She’s fabulous as always! Very attentive and great communication. She was available right away as we had to go out of state for funeral. We will definitely be having her look after our pets again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Pendleton 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. 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
