“Tommie was great! She went above and beyond to ensure my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. She communicated very well throughout the entire process. Her genuine care made this an outstanding experience. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further! I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Merrell was pleasant, positive and great with updates. Our scoutie wasn’t super friendly but Merrell kept trying and that’s all we could’ve asked for!!!”
“Meghan took great care of our kitties while we were away for a week over the Christmas holidays. She was very responsive leading up to the trip, and she was accomodating to our needs even during her own Christmas plans. She checked on them once a day and sent pics and updates after each visit. If there were any concerns, she updated us right away. We came home to happy kitties!”
“Teresa was FANTASTIC!!! She has such a warm heart and my fur babies instantly fell in love with her. She was flexible for our schedule and provided updates and pictures while we were gone, it made an emergency trip less stressful for us knowing she was dropping in daily to play and spend time. We will reach out again if ever in need of her services, I highly recommend Teresa she is reliable and truly loves animals”
“Becky took excellent care of my boys while I was out of town for several days. She communicated all concerns and let me know how they were doing each visit. She provided lots of photos and made me feel better about being away from my pups.”
“Christina was wonderful with Presby! She goes over and above to allow Presby to sit in the screened-in porch during the visit, Christina picked up a package that was delivered at the front door and even took our recycling bin to/from the alley on pickup day, which we truly appreciate. Presby has been a contented kitty under Christina's care! We feel Christina deserves a 6-star review!”
“Sydney was attentive, kind, and caring to my fur baby! I received regular photos and updates from her and my cat was very comfortable with her too! I look forward to retaining her services again.”

About: Dog care has been a well known trade of mine for over 15 years. I am best with smaller-medium dogs, unless your big dog is a good walker! You can thank my sister’s lab for that last comment LOL. I am studying law, so I have flexible summers. My only job is remote, so I am able to work often. I do not plan to leave the Columbia area for long periods of time this summer. While my home is already occupied by my three cats, I will do whatever you feel necessary to respectfully watch your pets in your home. I offer zoom/skype/FaceTime calls during my stay if you ever want to see how your pet is doing!
“Stephanie did a wonderful job visiting and caring for Dottie and Milton. We got updates during each visit and they clearly enjoyed her presence with them. We’re new to the area and look forward to her being our pet sitter when we are out of town again. Highly recommended!”
“Marilyn was very communicative and friendly. We appreciated her timely visits, clear communication, and most of all the love she gave our boys.”

About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!
“Erika was so kind and friendly! I knew when we met that my first experience with Rover was going to be a great one. My pup loved her and she sent photos everyday to let me know they were well. Thanks so much Erika! Rhonda will miss your visits I’m sure. ☺️”
About: I have a family dog that I helped train. We got her in 2020, and I had a dog before her. I would dog sit for my neighbors back home all through high school. I current complete research from home. I am in school until the end of April, but after that I will be home all day available to be home with your pets! When I am in school, I have class from 8am - 12pm each day. I have a fenced area near my town home. I also have a 3 story house for playing inside. I go on walks very often and would take the dog if that is allowed. Your dog would definitely get exercise with me if that is something you’d be looking for!

Kaylee W.
“One thing I’ve always loved about Kaylee is her love for animals. She’s trustworthy, caring, hardworking and always lends a helping hand even without being asked. She has babysat my dog so many times. Finding someone you trust to watch your fur babies can be stressful but I know every time she’s watched Dodo she will take care of him and love him like he’s her own. Dodo is a big yellow lab and can be a handful haha but she has always been so reliable and does such a good job with him. Plus he loves her and is comfortable with her and as a dog mom that’s the most important thing to me. Kaylees love for all animals, no matter what breed, shape or size is special and you can always count on her to be there for your fur babies just like how she’s been there for mine:)”

Catherine B.
“Given that Catherine and I grew up together, I would be the first to know how caring and loving she is with dogs. She was always the one to volunteer to take the dogs on walks and took the feeding chores any day of the week. I am completely confident that she would take the best care of any dogs, and you will definitely come home to lots of pictures of your furry friends to look at. She is one of the most caring humans I know, and I am certain she will have all dogs in great hands.”

Merrell was pleasant, positive and great with updates. Our scoutie wasn’t super friendly but Merrell kept trying and that’s all we could’ve asked for!!!
Meghan was fantastic with our pup and two cats! We just moved to the area and wanted to find someone or animals can trust and we did just that! Nya loves Meghan already, and she took great care of her. We will definitely be asking her to watch the animals again and again.
Stephanie did a wonderful job visiting and caring for Dottie and Milton. We got updates during each visit and they clearly enjoyed her presence with them. We’re new to the area and look forward to her being our pet sitter when we are out of town again. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies and sending me updates! It really put my mind at ease.
Alyssa was fantastic! We have a young puppy who requires a little extra attention and we are also very particular about keeping up with her training and manners. We really appreciated that she was attentive to our detailed instructions. Alyssa was super responsive, on time, and provided our girl with lots of love and play time!
Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.
Grace was amazing! I had a sitter cancel on me last minute but Grace was able to drop in on my dogs for the weekend. My dogs warmed up to her and she kept me updated the whole time I was gone. She also followed the feeding instructions perfectly. I 10/10 would recommend her services and I will definitely use her services for my next trip. Thank you so much Grace and great job!
We have been booking with David to look after our pups since we’ve relocated to Columbia. We can see the difference in how our puppies respond to him now vs how they did for the initial visit. David does an amazing job with showing up on time, making sure they’re all fed and have play time during his visit. He is very well mannered, expresses great communication skills and leaves us worry free while we’re away on vacation. Without a doubt, we would highly recommend booking with David whether it’s for a short period or like us for a two week stay. He is very consistent with his work and will check in with you to make you feel comfortable about the care your pups receive while you’re gone.
Caroline showed up when she said she would. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated with notes. I felt assured that my pets were taken good care of. I will utilize her services again and again.
100% Would recommend to anyone!! I was lucky to find Elizabeth 3 days before a late notice trip to watch my pup. She immediately accepted and came to my home for a meet and greet later that evening. My pup immediately took to her and any worries I had were calmed as soon as we met. She gave thorough check ins complete with pictures and was so easy to communicate with. I returned home to a happy pup with absolutely zero issues, concerns, or complaints. I can strongly say that I would trust Elizabeth with my pets and in my home any day of the week! She is a true animal lover who takes pride in caring for others pets as if they were her own.
