About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I started petsitting at 13 and have experience with puppies, seniors, and administering medications. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant as well! I am a sophomore at Clemson University, and I’m majoring in Animal and Veterinary Science! I’m currently a full time student at Clemson with extra time in the afternoons and weekends for walking or taking care of your fur babies! I am very responsible when it comes to pet care, especially other peoples pets. I can ensure that I will take good care of your pets. I love to send lots of pictures daily so that you know your pet is safe and happy!
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 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.
“Emily was so helpful and attentive to Gunters needs! I loved getting updates daily, she took the sweetest pictures of my kitty. Towards the end of my trip, Gunter unfortunately contracted a uti. Thanks to Emily texting me and keeping me updated, I was able to book a vet appointment for as soon as I could so that he could get treated. I could not recommend her more!”
About: Our names are Nina Phillips and Erin Carns, we live together in Clemson and both attend as third years! As two college students, we both are missing the company of and caring for our furry friends back home. Nina has experience with dogs of all sizes, but has cared for large dogs like Cane Corsos up to 160 pounds. Erin has volunteered in shelters since she was young, and has lots of experience caring for small dogs like yorkies! We can’t wait to meet your furbabies and care for them like they’re our own! While we are both full time students, our schedules do not have much overlap, meaning Erin is generally home in the morning, and Nina is usually home in the afternoon and night. This applies to both pet sitting and availability to walk or let out animals in your home! In our experience caring for animals, we have found that the best way to facilitate a calm, safe environment and avoid stressing the animal is to do our absolute best to care for the animal exactly as the owner would. To do this, we love hearing as many details as possible- all your animals silly little quirks, your routine caring for the animal, and any other things that could help make the transition easy for them!
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!
“Amethyst was great with Jewels,and Jewels seems to like her. She isn't use to being alone. The videos and pictures helps alot!! I will definitely book with Amethyst again. 😊 thanks so much! Happy customer....”
“Samantha and Max did an excellent job with our pups. We have two rescue dogs, one of which is afraid of new people. Because of this, we were concerned about leaving him for the first time with someone new. Samantha and Max assured us that they would be able to handle him and they were amazing with him. They were even able to get a leash on him to take him outside, despite his usual timid behavior. They followed our detailed instructions perfectly and were very patient and kind with our dogs. After the visit they sent several pictures so that we had peace of mind that the pups were okay. We will absolutely use them again.”
About: I have been responsible for caring for dogs when asked for a couple of years. I have pet-sat and dog-walked before. Owning two dogs myself, I am used to both big and small dogs. I am currently back home from college and have plenty of time throughout the summer to accommodate your dog's needs. I am available from morning through the night! I follow the dog’s usual walking schedule and route whenever possible to maintain consistency and comfort. I always check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are properly fitted and secure before heading out.
About: I have always grown up with pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a beared dragon. I have helped train a puppy, cared for a dying senior dog, and everything in between. I have experience with pets who have high energy, anxiety, dietary needs, and physical disabilities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit, drop in, provide over night care, and walk their dogs. I have worked at a dog groomer for over 2 years, which has given me experience with a wide variety of animals and their temperaments. I’m a full time student at Clemson University who has most afternoons/ evenings and weekend free to care for your pets! I am studying wildlife conservation so spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Following instructions, I can care for your pet however you direct me to. I am comfortable taking your dog for walks/ hikes, playing indoors and outdoors, dosing medications, keeping up with training, and providing all the love and comfort your pet will need while you are away!
About: Bringing happiness to all animals is something that is very important to me because of the love they constantly give us. With multiple years of experience, I am able to make sure your furry friends are well taken care of. Keeping your pets healthy and happy is the most important thing to me. I focus on providing all pets with someone who makes them feel safe and loved while their family is not with them. At the moment I am in between jobs after working for Clemson University for 4 years. I am currently searching for a part-time job I can pair with Rover to keep my schedule as open as possible. I’m very flexible with the care I provide. Every pet has their own routine and habits. I tend to follow any instructions given to take proper care of your pets. In my own home I have a roommate who love animals just as much as me so there will be plenty of pets! We have a dog park nearby I can utilize or a walking path if your pet is a little more introverted.
“Nicole was wonderful! She responded at the last minute (great communication) and took great care of our boy Teddy! We will definitely use her again when we are back at Clemson! Thank you so much!”
“It was such a pleasure meeting Stacie, and getting to know her a little, along with hearing about her own love of animals! I so appreciated the photos she sent since my two cats are new to each other and she was totally thorough in caring for them!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a home with dogs sparked a lifelong love for pets, and for the past five years, I’ve been a proud dog parent to my own fur baby. I began dog and cat sitting about six years ago and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m also comfortable caring for animals with special medical needs, including administering insulin to a cat with diabetes and managing feeding routines for a dog with megaesophagus. I truly love what I do and treat every pet as if they were my own—providing attentive, compassionate, and reliable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Clemson and have certain days during the week where I am free for most of the day and all day Sundays! I like to create a calm safe environment where every pet is treated like my own. But also love playing fetch in my big fenced in back yard and have a very friendly dog who loves everyone that would love a play date! Keeping a consistent routine is also a key aspect to a good environment!
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.

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.
Lauren did a great job taking care of my little fur balls while I was away for a few days. She kept me posted on the visits and let me know how my pets were doing while I was away. Even with the HOT SC August weather, she took my dog for walks during her visits. And she played laser chase with my cat. I'll definitely ask her to watch Heidi and Boots again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pendleton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Pendleton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
