“Justin saved me by watching my sweet foster dog blaze for a few days! He is always giving the pups good walks, and lots of love and play time! I will always ask Justin for his services because he is the best!”
“This was our first time working with Teresa and boy, are we glad we found her! She took great overnight, in-home care of our two Labs. The photo updates and texts were a lovely bonus because when we’re not home with our dogs, we’re always taking about them, thinking of them, and hoping they’re okay. From our first meeting, Teresa gave us peace of mind that everything would be under control, and that our dogs would be safe and well cared for. We’re very happy to have worked with her, and already have several more bookings scheduled with her this year that we’re looking forward to!”
“Nikkki was incredible with my crew (4 dogs and 1 cat). She was able to capably handle our reactive dog which gave me peace of mind. She sent daily pictures which were adorable and we came home to happy animals. I would highly recommend Nikki - in fact we’ve already booked her for our next trip!”
“Logan was great. She was so patient and willing to take care of my misfit crew. They can be a handful. She was willing to come out a few times to get to know the dogs before the weekend actually took place. Definitely would recommend.”
“Kiera is amazing! Both our dogs absolutely loved her and we enjoyed getting photos and videos of them daily. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch sitter for your pets.”
“Bret was an amazing house and pet sitter. He took amazing care of my German Shepherd, Lucy. He kept me informed as to how things were, sent photos and was respectful of all of my needs for Lucy. In addition, he left my house spotless. I am planning to use him again and would recommend him without hesitation.”
“Grace did an amazing job with our girls and followed all of the directions we left for her! She came at the agreed upon times and made sure they were fed, watered, and pottied! She also sent pictures everyday and gave little updates! She also went above and beyond and brought in our mail and packages in, even though I didn’t ask her too! I completely recommend Grace!”
“Bria did a fabulous job of watching my boys! I have a special needs pup and she took great care of him!!! I could tell my boys were happy and well-loved while we were away. We will definitely use Bria in the future!”
“Loved Emily. I could tell in the meet and greet my dogs were ? % happy and that made us book on the spot. Everything was super with her visit and we look forward to engaging Emily again!”
About: I've spent a lifetime around dogs, from goldens and boxers to husky mixes, so I'm comfortable with bigger breeds while still keeping a gentle, reassuring presence. Over the years, I've also cared for senior dogs with special dietary needs, high-energy working breeds, and anxious or shy pups who need a little extra patience. My approach blends calm companionship with confident handling—I'm happy to curl up for quiet couch time or head out for a long, steady walk when the weather's nice. I'm detail-oriented and quick to notice when something's off, whether it's a change of mood, appetite, or behavior. I love learning each pup's quirks and personality so I can connect with them in a way that feels familiar and safe. And while I'm not a formal trainer, I have years of hands-on experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and redirecting unwanted behavior before it becomes an issue. Above all, I treat every dog like a member of my own family—loved, respected, and cared for with the same attention I'd want for my own pets. I'm currently a freelance worker with the ability to set my own hours. If I have a visit with your dog, I'll do my best to move my work hours around that schedule, but even if I have a particularly grueling work week, I can work from my laptop while I sit in with your pup. When I'm in your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you've outlined it—from meal times to walk routes to favorite toys. My goal is to make their day feel as normal and comfortable as possible while you're away. I keep their space safe and tidy, make sure they have fresh water, and give them the kind of interaction that matches their mood and energy level—whether that's a gentle game of tug, a nice stroll, or just quiet company nearby. If crating is a part of the routine, I can handle that, and I'm happy to help reinforce basic leash manners along the way. I adjust my visits to suit your pet's personality, so whether you have a social butterfly or a laid-back lounger, they'll get exactly what they need to feel secure until you're home.
“Michael is engaging , warm and super loving of our German Shepherd Charlie. He did a pre-visit a s right away connected and played. Michael is super responsive and provided thoughtful updates and some great pics too. We will definitely work with him again! Fantastic and trustworthy!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 13 years and truly love what I do. I make sure to clean up after your pet, stick to their routines, and most importantly, give them lots of love and attention. I have references from very happy pet owners, reliable transportation, and I’m based in Rock Hill, SC. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, your pet will be in caring, dependable hands. I work remotely, which allows me the flexibility to pet sit either in my home or yours. I’m available for daily check-ins, walks, or overnight care depending on your pet’s needs, and I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure they get plenty of love and attention. Creating a safe and calm environment is my top priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I always follow your instructions closely and treat your pets like family. I’m comfortable with routines, medication, and special care, and I make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.
“Kelsey was great! Our dog can be pretty skittish around new people but Kelsey was patient and eventually got her comfortable. She also provided us with updates regularly and pictures showing everything was all good.”
“Sophia is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pups—they were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved during her time with them. Her communication was reassuring, and we felt totally at ease knowing our pets were in her hands. As a matter of fact, I’ve already booked her two more times. That’s how much we trust and appreciate her! If you’re looking for someone dependable and thoughtful, Sophia is it. Highly recommend!”
About: I work part-time at a doggie daycare @ Lucky Dog Bark & Brew, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from playful puppies to seniors, and from super social pups to those who need a little more patience and understanding. My hands-on experience has taught me how to read body language, manage group play safely, and provide individualized care for each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs structured walks, calm companionship, or just someone to keep their routine steady while you’re away, I’m here to help. I work part-time at a doggie daycare evening shifts four days a week and one morning shift on the weekend, but I’m still fully able to provide quality care for your pet and fit their needs into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s drop-in visits, overnight stays, or in-home boarding, I plan my pet sitting schedule around my work to make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I always allow time for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and quality one-on-one time. If your pet has a specific routine or care needs, I’m happy to work with you to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’ll come to your home for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, helping maintain your pet’s normal routine in their own space. This is ideal for pets who are more relaxed at home or who need extra consistency. In my home I offer comfortable, personalized care for dogs or cats who enjoy a cozy, quiet space away from home. I have a dedicated spare room just for pet guests, where I can safely store their belongings (beds, toys, food, etc.) and give them a calm space to settle in. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and set up with all the essentials for safe and happy boarding, including cleanup supplies, food/water bowls, and pet-safe cleaning products. If your dog is crate-trained, please provide their crate so they have a familiar, secure space to relax in. I want them to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible during their stay.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 5 years now for friends and family; and 3 years professionally at dog daycare & boarding facilities. I’ve been in charge of feeding, play time, going to the park, medication distribution and house sitting. I have my own fur baby and my love for dogs has grown immensely over the years! I’m currently in a transition period in my career and my new job doesn’t start until August. So I have plenty of availability up until then to play with your pups and help out!! I have a fenced yard, two crates (one small and one large). My dog, Nyla, is house trained, spayed, up to date on vaccinations and great with other dogs. My dad works from home so he’ll be there for my pup while I focus on your fur babies.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 12 years—ever since I was a kid! From tiny pups to senior dogs, I've helped feed, walk, bathe, and give meds when needed. My friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets, and I treat each one like they’re my own. Whether it's high-energy playtime or gentle care for older pets, I’ve got the experience and heart to handle it all. I’m also comfortable with cats, small animals, and even basic puppy training. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority! 🐾 I am currently a college student (online) and have a full time job of being a dental assistant! My days consist of working 8-4 so I will be available early mornings, as well as afternoons and nights! Available on Friday-Sunday at anytime :) I live in a town home that has a fenced yard, and also a dog play park about 0.5 miles away from my home! 🏠
About: I've been around dogs since I was a child and have been responsible for a majority of their needs most of the time I've had pets and been around animals. I've been around very small to very large breeds. I have patience I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I take multiple walks a day and can walk for 10 to 30 minutes depending on weather. I also can step away within a few minutes of being warned to head out soon. I always respect boundaries and focus on helping pets feel safe and cared for when I'm around. I try to keep them stimulated when possible to keep they energy levels balanced out.

“Overall, my experience with Ariel as my dog sitter has been great. She has taken care of both my labrador retriever and Australian Shepard. They love her! She not only feeds them and walks them, but also spends time with them to keep them company. My Australian shepard is very high maintenance and not so friendly but she does great taking care of him. I highly recommend Ariel as a pet sitter.”

Gretchen W.
“If Marley and Archie could talk, they’d probably ask when Gretchen is coming back. And then immediately try to follow her home. Gretchen was a total rockstar! She handled Marley’s dramatic sighs and side-eye like a pro, and she somehow got Archie to stop barking at the wind (a miracle in itself). From belly rubs to epic treat negotiations, she clearly speaks fluent dog. We got hilarious photo updates of Archie posing like he was on the cover of Dog Fancy and Marley lounging like he pays rent. They were spoiled, loved, and thoroughly entertained, basically living their best lives while we were gone. Gretchen is now officially part of the pack. Book her before our dogs do it themselves.”

Quaniqua W.
“Quinn takes care of the 4 pets I have as if they were her own children! She loves spending time with any animal that walks this earth whether it be a pig, goat, chicken or a dog, cat, hamster etc. she knows how to gently and safely handle animals including reptiles. Not only has she owned more animals than the normal person in her life time, she makes it a point to help any animal in need that she finds. She is very passionate about spending time with pets and forming a bond with them that not just any stranger can have. Quinn is very attentive and thoughtful when watching over animals I tend to go out of town for work a day to four days at a time and always get updates about the animals at home. If you would like to leave your precious pets in the hands of someone who cares about them just as much you do picking Quinn would be a great option!”

Alana H.
“Alana is AMAZING with cats 😻 She watched my girl Luna while I was away for a few days and honestly… I think Luna misses her more than me now. She gave me daily updates, played with her, made sure she ate (which is not easy with my picky queen), and even brushed her fur. I could tell Luna felt safe and spoiled the entire time. If you're looking for someone who gets cats, Alana's the one!!!!!”

Riverview pet parents share their Rover experiences
We can't say enough good things about Emily! She took truly exceptional care of our dog Bug, who is not the easiest pup to look after due to her dog aggression. From the start, Emily was calm, professional, and completely unphased by the challenges Bug presents. She took the time to understand Bug’s needs and quirks, and made sure she felt safe, loved, and well-cared for the entire time we were away. We got regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Emily wasn’t just "dog sitting" — she genuinely cared about Bug and treated her like one of her own. It's incredibly rare to find someone so experienced, patient, and trustworthy, especially for dogs with behavioral needs. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Emily and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone — especially those with dogs who need a little extra understanding and care. Thank you, Emily, for giving Bug such a happy, stress-free time while we were gone!
Michael is engaging , warm and super loving of our German Shepherd Charlie. He did a pre-visit a s right away connected and played. Michael is super responsive and provided thoughtful updates and some great pics too. We will definitely work with him again! Fantastic and trustworthy!
Lauren was fantastic!!!! She sent me pictures and kept my dogs happy! I think that I even came back to a cleaner home than when I left!! She is very knowledgeable about dogs so I felt very comfortable with them in her care! I would highly recommend using her, as I will myself again!
Absolutely loved having Mariah! Will definitely use her again, her communication was spot on. She contacted me daily to let me know how my dog was doing! I appreciated her keeping me posted on how things were going. She’s such a lovely person, I highly recommend her!
