“Abigail did a phenomenal job at taking care of our dogs while we were outta town. Can’t thank her enough. Our dogs were definitely bummed when they saw us opening the door 😂. We have tried pet lodges in the past but from this experience we will continue to rebook. Highly recommend Abigail’s services. Thank you again!”
“Best pet caregiver ever! Kind and generous with my crew. Patient and flexible with me. Would recommend over and over again. He also takes the best pics of my crew!!”
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family since I was old enough to drive, and I’ve loved every minute of it! From walking and feeding to bathing and playtime, I make sure each pet feels cared for and happy while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I work part-time, so my schedule is wide open during the week and I’m also available on weekends! Whether you need a weekday walk or weekend pet sitting, I’m flexible and happy to help whenever you need me. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’m always attentive to their unique needs. I understand how important your pets are, which is why I focus on their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. If you're looking for someone who’ll shower your pets with love and give them plenty of attention, I’d be honored to take care of them!
“Sarah did a great job- was totally reliable, sent us daily photos of our kitty and our kitty clearly liked Sarah- she came out to greet her every day. I would absolutely ask for Sarah again!”
“Heather is so great! She took wonderful care of my two cats and gave them so much love and attention. She always detailed the visits with pictures and comments. I have one very shy cat, but he was able to get him to warm up to in her by the second drop-in. That’s a gift to be able to do that so quickly.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, meds, and giving each pet the love and care they deserve. As a student at the University of South Carolina, I have a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings in the mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely and create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure. I have one friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets, and I always monitor interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own.
About: I’ve always had a pet in my life. I couldn’t imagine not having one. They bring me so much joy. I love taking care of dogs and cats. I just retired from teaching so I’m currently available to spend lots of time taking care of your pet. I can’t wait to get started! I am a very dependable and trustworthy person. I will follow instructions for taking care of your pet exactly as you would like it because that’s very important to me.
“Amber is an absolute gem! She took fantastic care of my two cats, Boti and Bhalu, while I was away, and even made sure my turtle Donatello was fed and happy. Communication with Amber was seamless, and she followed all instructions to the letter. Bhalu, one of my cats, absolutely adores her - he was purring and following her everywhere! Boti, my other cat, is a bit more shy and hid during Amber's visits, but that's just his normal behavior. Amber was understanding and patient with him. I'll definitely be booking Amber's services again. Highly recommended!”
“Samantha was amazing! She let me know how they were doing each time and sent such great photos! I think my dogs miss her now. 😀 I will definitely ask for Samantha again. My dogs lived her. It means so much to those who worry when they are away from their kiddos to have such great help. Thank you, Samantha!”
“Taylor was super professional and made sure all of my pups needs were met and was so tolerant to my worries about using Rover for the first time. 10/10 would recommend her for your pets needs!”
“Jordynn is a very conscientious and thorough sitter. She wasn’t deterred by my very shy pup. She refreshed his water, gave him all the treats and food I’d left and let him listen to her audiobook with her. She’s patient, kind and just a pleasure. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Maura was great with my two pittie rescues. I knew she'd be great as soon as I saw how my dogs responded to her, (calm and respectful)...sometimes they try to take advantage of new friends. I could tell she had it all under control and she did!”
“Ashley helped me immensely by keeping an eye on my cats while I was out of town! She is highly dependable and personable, and she maintains great communication. She treated my cats as if they were her own, couldn’t ask for better care! Will 100% request for her help again if the need arises in the future!”
“Bear's picture is so cute again today! He looks very happy and relaxed and he wasn't stressed at all when we got home yesterday. Sounds like Charlie is the right fit for this little dog! Thank you Charlie!”
“Morgan is the BEST! She was so prompt & took great care of our golden retriever. She was so kind & patient as Sophie can be head strong & goofy. She played, gave extra belly scratches and brushing. I would highly recommend her!!! My only concern writing this well-deserved review is that she’ll be overbooked and no openings for us & Sophie!!”
“This was my first time using an outside source to come into our home and feed, walk and let our dogs in and out. Maria did exceptionally well with Jax and Bella. They loved on her so great and she made sure everything was smooth. I'm 100% using her services again.”

I can trust her for regular updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter or walker.”
Rachele E.
“Rachele has been an advocate for animals throughout her life. She currently owns 2 cats and provides them with love and nurturing every day. She took in her most recent cat from a woman who could not provide for it any longer. I can't recall a time when I saw her without a furry feline in her home. Rachele is also at ease with dogs. She has spent time with my Jack Russel Terrier as well as my sister's 3 dogs. She shows them the same affection as her own pets. She cares for animals so deeply, that she chose to become a vegetarian when she was a teenager. Rachele would be the perfect choice to provide love and care to any pet entrusted to her.”

Pontiac pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs and cat. She listened to instructions, provided lots of photos with every visit, and gave us very thorough update on all of their activities during the day. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Frances was absolutely phenomenal. She came to let my dogs out 3x a day and was always on time. She spent a good deal of time making sure they got lots of love and let me know if there were any issues or accidents. I greatly appreciate her reliability, promptness, and thorough communication!
My cat was a total ghost the entire 3 days that Campbell dropped in for visits, but she still came by and stayed for a little while, making sure to feed Peanut and clean her litter box. Campbell never even got to meet Peanut, but I appreciate that she still took care of her.
