“Thank you sooo much for your patience with TipsCee as she is the shyest but sweetest dog ever and even tho it took the whole 4 days before she really came out of her shell, you remained just as patient, loving & caring as she needed. The multiple daily pics & videos brought comfort to me. We will see you again soon. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU 🙏🏽”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, receive plenty of attention, and be treated like part of the family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, especially when you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along. I also follow each owner’s instructions because I know every dog has their own routine and personality.
About: I have had a dog (childhood puppy at home) my whole life and she is my best friend! I have fostered multiple puppies, some who aren’t potty trained, and have experience overnight sitting. My roommates also love to have pets around! I am a full time graduate student with a part time job, but will be home a lot and love to get exercise walking. I also have 5 other roommates who would be happy to help out if I am busy with class. I have a front patio for quality outside time, but it is not fenced. I will be outside with your pet whenever we hang out on the patio, otherwise we will be inside.
“We love Lindsey and Aaron! They were so sweet to our boy and he had the greatest time! He was so tired after playing all weekend he wasn’t even excited to see us haha we will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again guys!!”
“Assatta H, was an excellent host and my little Uno truly enjoyed herself. Assatta was able to provide Sitter Services at short notice due to an immediate need on my part and I am forever indebted. Assatta even sent me photos of my Uno enjoying herself throughout her stay. I strongly encourage you to consider Assatta’s services!”
“Fantastic environment for King as he enjoys himself and feels like home. They really take care of your pets and I will continue to use them in the future.”
“I really do appreciate Nick! He always comes through when it comes to Mateo. I recently had surgery and had to come back down to Columbia, and he was able to take Mateo for me so I could have some time to adjust to my recovery. I’m forever grateful for him! He communicates so well, sends pictures, keeps you updated, and always lets you know what’s going on. He’s truly everything you could want in someone taking care of your dog, and I always feel comfortable knowing Mateo is with him.”
“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”
“Beatriz was so great with Zeus and Zoey. We wanted someone that would give them their undivided attention and she did just that. She also had a huge yard and patio area which is great for them to run around in. She sent us lots of pics and updates which I also appreciated. I’d definitely recommend trusting her with your pups and I would definitely use her again next time I go out of town.”
“This was Lexie's second play date with Auntie J. Janet was great! Communicated throughout the day and let me know how Lexie was doing. So thankful to have found such a great dogsitter!”
“Daniel and his wife took excellent care of my dog. My boy is a senior dog currently taking some medication; they made sure he was well feed and got his medicine on time. I received several text messages, videos, and pictures during my dog's stay with them. Also, they have an awesome dog named Maxwell. Maxwell was a excellent companion for my old boy. I look forward to working with them again in the future whenever I have to travel. Thanks again! ❤️??”
“Sebastian is the absolute best! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He was responsive from booking til pick-up. He consistently updated me and sent many pictures of my baby, Caesar. Caesar has daily topical medicine that must be administered and Sebastian had no problem applying it for me. I truly believe Caesar felt like he was at home while in Sebastian’s care. I will absolutely be using his services again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richland
Emma was wonderful! We were traveling through Columbia when our lodging arrangements unexpectedly changed and we found ourselves needing someone to watch Marlin overnight. Emma responded right away and was able to accommodate us on extremely short notice, which we were so appreciative of. She was great with communication and made sure all of Marlin’s needs were met. Most importantly, he seemed very happy and comfortable with her! We’re so grateful she was able to help us out at the last minute and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a caring and reliable sitter.
Merrell was wonderful with our pup. We had peace of mind knowing that Scout was in such great hands. We got updates throughout the day and felt completely comfortable knowing Scout was being well taken care of. Scout is high energy and loves to play, when we picked her up, she was tired and happy. We definitely plan to rebook with Merrell in the future!
Very caring and attentive couple with the cutest mini Goldendoodle who will be the ultimate playmate for your pup. It was my first time leaving my dog and it could not have been a smoother experience - with lots of photos and updates to keep my anxieties at bay. I highly recommend Savannah & Chandler!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Richland home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Richland.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Richland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
