“Madison helped us out with only a couple of hours notice. She was responsive, polite, and our dogs were well cared for and appropriately tired when we got home. I highly recommend Madison.”
About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.

“Laura was absolutely wonderful with Zuko and Maddux! She took the best care of them and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She was attentive, caring, and handled each of their different personalities and needs perfectly. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups! We are so grateful for her and will absolutely use Laura again. Highly recommend her!”
“Lauren went above and beyond yet again. We have a rough old girl that has issues with humans. However, Lauren came in, took her time, and our girl loves her. She took care of our home when accidents happened and she was always communicative about what was going on with our babies and our house. I can't say enough about the great job she has done for us.”
“After meeting Jenna the first time I knew my sweet Tilly girl would be in the best hands. Jenna is so caring and took amazing care of my girl. Highly recommend her for any pet needs you may have.”

About: I grew up just north of Columbia on a farm with my family. All I’ve known my whole life is how to make sure animals are safe and cared for. I’ve trained animals from duck dogs to cows and horses. I’m also at Clemson and study animals and have worked in a vet clinic for years. I’m a student at Clemson and want to make a little bit of money to help out with my needs and take a little weight off of my parents shoulders. With how many classes I am in it’s hard to find a job that fits my needs. I give the upmost respect to animals and make sure that their needs are beyond met. I have a one year old Boykin Spaniel that is mine and he is a handful.
“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!”
“Reagan was so great with Ace and I am so thankful she was able to check on him so last minute! Sent lots of pictures and made sure he was well taken care of while we were away!!”
About: I have lived with pets my entire life, I have a 5 year old dog currently. Additionally, I’ve pet sat for friends and family frequently when they leave for trips and used to help my grandmother foster kittens! I’m currently a senior at Clemson with a light schedule so I can drop by before/after classes with ease! I have time in the mornings and afternoons for walks and am available most days for pet sitting! I have a very active dog and am used to playing or walking outside for enrichment time. I grew up around cats and dogs and am very fond of both! Whether you need someone to play with them or just keep them company I would love to meet your fur baby.
“This was my first time going away for an extended period since adopting my sweet girl. I'm very satisfied with the level of care and attention that was provided and would feel comfortable having Patricia watch Greta again. After the first visit, I didn't feel the need to worry at all. Greta got lots of pets (which she desperately needs) and some cute mice toys, which I caught her playing with the night I got home. Overall, it was a great experience and more than worth it to know my girl was getting fed and doing well.”
“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.”
“Olivia was so thoughtful, caring, and responsible when she watched our dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of and communicated with us the whole time. She is amazing!”
“Alyssa took such a great care of our cat. She always took pictures and was sending videos! Quick responding and easy to get in touch with. She always left a not with everything that she did. Definitely would’ve picked her again!”

About: Hi! I am a responsible and caring pet sitter who has loved animals my whole life. I had a French Bulldog named Nugget for 10 years, and I was actively involved in caring for him every day. Through that experience, I learned the importance of patience, attention, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, providing companionship, and following any special care instructions. I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I gave Nugget I have a flexible schedule and can make time to provide reliable care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine and specific care instructions. I will ensure your pet has fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, and lots of attention. I will treat your home with respect and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pendleton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
