About: I’ve cared for my own pets for years, so I’m very familiar with giving dogs the attention, patience, and care they need. My pets require lots of attention, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping them comfortable and happy. I also regularly cared for three dogs each week for several months for a family from my church. That experience gave me even more confidence caring for multiple pets at once and making sure each one gets the individual attention they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s needs! I currently work a part-time job, but I’m able to request time off in advance when needed. I have availability throughout the week and on weekends and can be flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. With enough notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or longer stays. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and will always keep a close eye on your pets, whether we’re inside, outside, or on a walk. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like they’re my own, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had 8 years of working experience with dogs. I would board them, feed them, give medication, bathe them, trim nails, take them outside, walk them, and of course play with them. I am very knowledgeable about dog and cat body language as I volunteered to teach children how to care for dogs and cats. I am capable of bathing and doing nail trims for a small fee. I can not wait to care for your fur babies!! I am doing a masters program at SWU. I take online classes, so I am at home most days and will give my full attention to your babies. If you are looking for drop-ins every couple of hours to feed and take your dog out, I am available for those services, as well as house sitting. I will spend time with your dog to ensure they get enough exercise each day. I will be able to administer medication if needed
“Ambry went over the top to make my 10 year Old grey tabby to feel safe and loved while we were In Europe for two weeks. The longest I ever left her was a week in Atlanta with a pet sitter she knew for Almost 10 years. I hit the jackpot with Ambyr !”
“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.
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different kinds of animals. Since that time, I’ve rescued a few cats and dogs with mental and physical issues. I’ve learned that each animal has their own personality and needs and am happy to provide what they need. I have a flexible schedule. I am able to give your pet the time they need. Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, or some cuddles. I am able to follow instructions. I understand how important it is to keep your pet on a routine, especially when you are not home.
About: Lifetime animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for pets through every stage of life. I’ve never lived without a pet, and caring for animals isn't just a side job for me, it’s second nature. Over the years, I’ve managed everything from high-energy daily routines to specialized medical care. Having guided three of my own dogs through cancer, I understand how crucial gentle, attentive, and reliable care is when a pet needs extra patience, medication, or comfort. On the flip side, I currently share my home with two rowdy, high-energy Boxers and four cats, so I’m equally at home managing big personalities, high-energy exercise, structured routines, and multi-pet household dynamics. Whether your pet needs structured crate training, engaging enrichment (like stuffed Kongs to keep busy minds occupied), or a patient, calm presence while you're away, I treat every animal in my care with the same dedication, attention, and love I give my own. I work remotely from home, giving me fantastic flexibility throughout the day for daytime drop-ins, walks, and potty breaks. For house sitting, I am fully available on weekends. During weekday house sits, my remote work structure allows me to split my remote workday between your home and mine so I can pop back to care for my own pets while giving yours plenty of dedicated time, attention, and evening companionship. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. Whether providing care in your home or popping in for a check-in, I am extremely attentive to security, door safety, and personalized needs, including strict crate protocols, medication, or specific feeding schedules. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every pet with the same dedicated care I give my own.

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 have had dogs my whole life- they are my family. My love for animals led me on the path towards veterinary. Now I am attending Tri-County technical college to transfer to Clemson for veterinary. Life is beautiful💕 I currently have college classes every weekday, however my available days are Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. Monday and Fridays I am free after 2PM. However my animals at home receive lots of attention when I get home from school everyday and love to play outside. Following your instructions and having both you AND your dog feeling safe and secure in the care I provide is very important to me. If possible I’d love to have close communication with the pet parent to prevent any mistakes.
“Kassie is the best!! She loved on my dog and sent so many good updates and pictures. My dog is a little tough to handle at times, but Kassie was so confident and even did a little bit of training with her. I will absolutely be using Kassie for help with our pup again in the future!!”
“Jana was amazing with our boys and made them feel so taken care of while we were out of town. They loved going on walks and getting extra treats. Definitely recommend!”
“Lea did an amazing job looking after Dakota and Colby! She was so communicative before she started watching them and was so kind in person. I could tell from the pictures that Dakota and Colby were very happy and had a great time. We would 100% book her again!”
“Jessi was amazing with both of our cats! Harvey clearly enjoyed her attention and our scaredy-cat Amelia came out to see Jessi which she has never done with a stranger before! I really appreciate how punctual Jessi was and all of the pictures she sent. We will absolutely be booking Jessi again!”
About: *Please read profile to see if we will be a good fit* My name is Sara! I'm a dog enthusiast with 20 years experience training, exercising, and caring for dogs. I graduated from Penn Foster Career School's Dog Training Program. I love to help people fulfill their dogs needs! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work with dogs full time so I'm able to fulfill their daily needs with ease. We walk every day but also go on adventures to the park and lake. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid Trained. I have a completely fenced yard, but dogs are supervised at all times. I have experience with fearful dog safety. Dogs are crated or tethered while driving. Someone is almost always home with the dogs. I also have a Furbo video camera to monitor dogs if I do need to leave for a short time. ***Due to having 2-3 dogs staying with me at times, I only offer meet & greets, pick up, and drop off from my clients homes or curbside drop off anf pick up at my house in my designated "dog lovers only" parking spot. I find this keeps the excitement and stress level down for all dogs staying. If you want to see the accommodations, I can do a video tour with you. I also post videos and pics to my social media so you can see what your dog is up to during there stay.***

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
