“Sarah is the best! Our Chai Boy loved his time with her! She had amazing communication from start to finish and sent lots of photos which we absolutely love! Highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again!”
“Shirley was wonderful. She stayed at our home and took great care of our dog while we were away. She was kind, respectful of the house, and very easy to communicate with. We came back to a happy dog and everything exactly as we left it. We would absolutely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”

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.
“We LOVE Gracie! This was our first time ever having a house sitter for our dogs and she did amazing! She kept us updated with pictures of our babies and constantly let me knew how they were doing! Will be rebooking in the future!”

About: I grew up having pets all my life, and after high school started doing pet sitting occasionally. My pets have ranged from a Jacksons Chameleon, a few farm animals, and of course, dogs and cats! Two of my current animals are special needs, one with only 3 legs and one with a seizure disorder, so I’m well versed in animals that need a little *extra* care! I currently work part time as a nanny, so I have more than enough time for drop-ins to take care of your pets and give them all the love, cuddles, and treats they may need! I care for pets in YOUR home and treat it as if you’re one of my nanny clients. I’ll follow your pets daily routine when it comes to food, walks, meds, etc and leave enough time for cuddles as well making sure the house is left clean from any pet accidents or pet messes.
“Timothy was very quick to respond and set up time for a meet and greet for a very quick turnaround to watch our pups. I appreciated his communication and how he cared for our pups.”

About: I have been on Rover for over a year now and have fallen in love with pet sitting! I have several repeat clients who I love. I have always had dogs in my house and I am currently raising my puppy Roy! I feel as though pets have more feelings than humans so I make sure to give them special attention! I am a full time student at Clemson University and work a part time job so when i’m away from those i always make sure to spend time playing with my dog and taking care of him. I love to be around and let him hangout with me anytime I can since he’s so sweet and funny! I typically find myself watching a few pets every month! I always give pets as much attention as they will let me. I feel as though feedings schedules and daily walks and attention are necessary for animals. I also like to make sure they have clean food and water and plenty of it! I also make sure to pay special attention to their body language and can change my routines or anything they may need to make them more comfortable.

About: I’m 29, and I’ve been a passionate animal caretaker for the past 19 years, starting when I was just 10 years old. Having cared for both cats and dogs of every kind throughout my life, I currently look after three cats of my own, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with behavioral management and daily needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have long relied on me for check-ins, feeding, and play, knowing I treat every pet with the same level of compassion and dedication I give to my own family members. I am committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you are away I work full time but I work from my home office Monday-Friday. My cats are all indoor and up to date on vaccinations & my dog is indoor/outdoor but stays with his grandparents most of the time. My animals are free to roam indoors & outdoors. My cats go out on a harness (only with me) & leash in my fenced in yard but I will take care of your pets however is needed at your house.
“Payton was so incredible with our pup! She sent lots of photos and updates, I could tell our dog was in great hands. She was super flexible and accommodating to his schedule. I would highly recommend her services, we’ll be using her again for sure!”

“Ariel made sure that we were comfortable with each other and that we could take comfort knowing both of our dogs would be well cared for in our own home. She was great at staying in contact and keeping us up to date. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have personal experience caring for my own two dogs and two cats, which has given me a strong understanding of daily routines, different personalities, and what each pet needs to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience caring for my aunt’s senior dog, which included closely following a daily routine and making sure she received her medication on schedule. I am currently in school studying veterinary technology, which has helped me gain even more knowledge about animal care, behavior, and health. In addition to school, I work as an in-home caregiver, so I understand the importance of being dependable, compassionate, and attentive to individual needs. My schedule can vary at times, but I would truly love the opportunity to fit caring for your pets into my routine whenever possible because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I will always do my best to provide safe, loving, and reliable care for your pets while carefully following any care plans or instructions you provide. Whether it is feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or simply giving your pets comfort and attention, I understand how important consistency and trust are. My goal is to make sure your pets feel happy, safe, and cared for while also giving you peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.
“Michelle did an outstanding job taking care of not only my pet but my home. Would recommend and will be contacting her again to take care of my dog which I believe is the highest compliment. Thanks, Michelle!”


“Stacie is fantastic! She house sat our two young large energetic dogs with ease. She is a good communicator, responding quickly and also sending updates and photos. I recommend Stacie with no reservation and will be reaching out to her for all my future house-sitting needs.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up caring for our family dog, geese and ducks! Lately, i've committed myself to helping dogs and cats feel loved, safe and secure while their pet parents are away. I worked at a local veterinary clinic in their boarding department caring for overnight and long term clients. I previously worked at a local animal shelter for a year, where I learned the true responsibility of taking care of animals. Senior animals have such a special place in my heart! Animal happiness and safety is a main priority of mine. I am looking to take care of your animals part time and as needed! I have plenty of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats! I have 3 dogs currently, a shepherd mix, husky mix and a mini pin doberman alongside 2 cats! We have a large fenced in yard which allows us to let our dogs get their energy out and enjoy some time alone outside, while we continue to keep a close eye on them. The dogs are never out of my sight, I know how mischievous they tend to be.
