“Jana is amazing! I have a unique and inconsistent schedule and needed help checking in on Leo while I am working. She has been flexible with us in scheduling and Leo ADORES her! I could not be more relieved knowing he is in excellent care while I am working. She takes him on walks, plays and cuddles with him. It is hard for me to leave him but it is very comforting to know he is loved and cared for so much when I can’t be there for him. It’s hard for me to trust anyone with my sweet little boy but I can say we made a perfect match with Jana. I look forward to each visit and Leo does too. Thank you so much Jana, we appreciate you!!”
“This is my third time I asked her to watch my dogs. She’s amazing and my dogs loves her!! I feel safe when I’m gone bc I know she will take care of my dogs. I wouldn’t ask any other dog sitters but Julianne!”
About: New to SC- full time mom and dog owner Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for them. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or just giving them plenty of love and attention while you're away, I've got you covered. Your pup will be in great hands! As a stay-at-home mom with a baby, my schedule is highly flexible. We love staying active, so pet care fits perfectly into our daily routine. I can easily bring my stroller along for regular walks, ensuring your pup gets consistent exercise and attention. I provide a safe, loving environment where your pet is treated like family. I’m attentive to pet body language and can easily crate your dog for meals or downtime if needed. Feel free to send me a list of how you would like me to care for your fur baby.
“Shelley is great! She took care of my cat, Bobo, for 4 days while I was away. She answered all of my questions, stayed for a while during the initial meet 'n greet, followed my instructions to a "T", and stayed longer so Bobo could get comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to book Shelley again. I highly recommend her services.”
“Sarah was amazing! She arrived on time, very kind, followed requests, updated us during her visit, and took great care of our fur babies! We are looking forward to using her services again.”
“Timothy and Meg were great! They kept me updated and even took care of my other dog that didn’t need anything but to be put back in the kennel. I will definitely be rebooking him, as he kept me informed with messages, pictures, and videos. He also cleaned up her crate for me. Loved him!”
“Jerry is truly one of the best to have sit your pups. He is great with our boys! They absolutely love him and are also so happy to see him! He takes them on nice long walks and gives them tons of lovin! His communication is great at all times. We’ve used him so many times before it’s great having someone we know we can trust our boys are in good hands with!”
“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.”
“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of our pups, cleaning up accidents, and making sure they got plenty of love! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Paige in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I currently have five pets of my own—three dogs and two cats—that I’ve raised and cared for, so I understand the responsibility and attention pets need every day. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as caring for cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life because I care for my own three dogs and two rescued cats every day. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting in your home, or care for your pet in my home if that’s what works best for you. I do my best to be flexible with scheduling and will make sure your pet gets the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. I have a large yard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like one of my own and receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention. If I care for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: I have grooming, training, & boarding experience. I’m experienced in administering medications; pills, eye drops, shots, etc. Animals are my peace so I’d love to give a peace of mind to others😊 I’m available full time, there are currently 6 dogs & 2 cats in my house & the pups get outside about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I also have a 3 year old whos with me 3 days out of the week. I have a fenced in yard, all of my pups & my sisters are crated when not supervised. I would prefer crates brought when staying with me just for safety reasons! & if I were to watch your pup in your hone they’d get the same love & care they receive from you😊
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.
About: I really love dogs and hope to help stay with your pets while you are away. All creatures great and small inspire me to be better. I will be unavailable to watch animals from my home while traveling. Please let me know if I can help with drop-in visits, walks or in home stay. Please let me know if you would like to schedule a visit to see if we would be a good fit before you are away. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your furbabies.
“Laycie did a great job taking care of the outdoor cats, including extra food for a new momma. She also watered plants (we're in a hot, dry spell), which I'm grateful for. Will definitely book her 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 Pickens 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 Pickens. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
