“As always, my kitties were loved and cared for beautifully while I was away. Magan always sends pictures of the cats and gives a brief description of her visit and interaction with both cats. I never have to worry when Magan is on the job!”
“Kara is so good with our cat girls! She takes time with them and goes the extra mile to care for them, if needed. She is compassionate and thoughtful in her care. This is the second time Kara has cared for our girls and we would gladly ask her to care for them again.”
“Paris & Saint J are so lucky to have Jessi take care of them. Jessi was very responsive and she took such wonderful care of my cats while I was away. I really appreciated how responsive she was —always quick to reply to my messages and keep me updated with photos and little notes about how the cats were doing. Even better, she was proactive about making sure my cats’ needs were met, from playtime to feeding and even noticing the little details that keep my cats happy and comfortable. It’s such a relief to know my pets are in such caring and attentive hands. Thank you so much, Jessi!”
“Gracie is amazing!!! My husband and I added a new fur baby to our family and we were worried about having someone come and play with our Nala girl but thanks to people suggesting Rover I found Gracie! Gracie comes to do a drop-in visit for about an hour! Within that hour she lets Nala out, plays, and makes sure our girl is okay! I would highly suggest Gracie for any service you need for your fur babies!”
About: Have worked with animals since I was a little kid. Have cared for all types of animals including deer and snakes. Love dogs and cats and feel that they need the same love and care we give each other. I have been helping my girlfriend Courtney Barron with her rover account for almost a year now. We have several regulars that we love to sit for. Dogs especially love me bc I can’t help but hug them and love them. I am available everyday for sitting and available after 2 pm Monday - Saturday and before 3 on Sunday for all other services. Ask for further availability. I have a small home space but love and care for one dog at a time so they get my full attention. Animals are allowed on my furniture and will probably love to sit and watch movies with me.
About: I have grown up around animals being in and out of the house my whole life! I love animals and I would love to be able to love on yours when you can’t! I currently am working a remote job (work from home) and I have very flexible hours. I am able to leave and come back to work. I am able to come walk or play with your fur babies at anytime of the day :) I can easily crate pets if needed. No fenced in back yard but I walk all pets with a collar and a leash for their safety and mine. Walks will be 10 minutes (unless requested differently). I am able to spend up to 20 minutes in your home at a time to ensure your pets are feeling the love while their pet parents are out of the house!
“Roman and Justine did an excellent job taking care of Farrah. They were very communicative and responsive to texts and sent great pictures. Would certainly book again!”
“Brianna was absolutely amazing with our cat Toby. We got several updates, and felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. She even gave him a goody bag for his stay! So sweet and will definitely book her again!”
“Hannah was awesome! She kept me up to date on everything going on at home and sent lots of pictures of our cats while we were away! She really went above and beyond by cleaning out their bowls for us. We would absolutely work with her again!”
“Chyann was great and a wonderful communicator. My kitties don’t really like other people in their house, so I can’t ask them, but it looks like all was well taken care of and they weren’t in want of anything! I’d happily rebook with Chyann”
About: I recently moved to SC! I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and other critters on and off for 10 years and have 2 of my own cats and 1 dog currently! Since high school I’ve done volunteer work with multiple animal organizations and shelters in my home town. I frequently look after friends and families fur babies and would love to care for yours too! I just moved to Oconee County after graduating with my bachelors and have more free time than I would like to admit! Let me know what you and your pets need and I will do my very best to be there for you as often as possible even 24/7. In your home I will do whatever is in yours and your pets best interest and do my best to abide by whatever rules necessary for the benefit of you and your animals by walking and feeding at correct times and giving them the whatever attention necessary!
About: I have a big yard that I can use to play and walk with dogs. I am responsive and very loving towards animals. I have a very open schedule with being a first time mom of a 6 month old! While I do have a sweet baby girl, I also have a bunch of time outside of that. I can easily drive to your house and check in or do walks with your dogs. I would absolutely love to be able and help you with your animals! Me and my baby love to get out so this will be an exciting experience for us! Thank you! I want to provide as much trust and safety for your sweet pet. I want them to get the best care possible, I will provide as much care as they need.
“Cassondra did a fantastic job with our 6 kitties. The care she provided was top notch and all the kitties were very happy while we were away. Would definitely ask for her again.”
“We are very happy with Aerial and Pote too. She’s responsible, reliable and understands Pote. He can be a bit intimidating, but she won him over with love and affection. The Moulier’s”
About: While I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet care! My family has raised boxer puppies for 20+ years and small breeds for 10+. So I have worked with all sizes and ages, from bottle feeding newborn puppies to taking care of elderly dogs and I love every minute of it! I have 4 dogs, 4 rabbits, 2 sugar gliders a cat, and a duck, and all 12 of them are very spoiled furbabies! So if you have any “exotic” animals that need to be checked on while I’m around that won’t be a problem! I spend every minute I have with my furbabies and look forward to being able to spoil yours as well! While your dog is in my care I will love them like my own. I love being outdoors so hiking and dog parks are part of my daily routine. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies!

“Summer is the best - always reliable, sends many and great photos, and is a friendly companion to my cat while we're away. Would definitely recommend :)”
Martin m.
“We all love Martin - humans and furbabies. Our German Shepherd Ford is so attached to him. I'll tell Ford that Martin is coming over and he will sit by the door all day waiting for him. When Martin and Courtney are both here, Ford doesn't even want Courtney to be by him - not in an aggressive way - just cries and barks until he gets attention. What is truly awesome about Martin is knowing that not only are our animals taken care of, but also our house. When we leave I know that they treat our home like their own. Along with every day chores; litter boxes, grabbing mail, etc. He also makes sure the garbage is put out once a week, or any other special duties. And the best part is that I know he LOVES our animals, especially Ford. You will never go wrong having Martin take care of your animals.”

Keely M.
“Keely was my student her junior and senior year of high school. She immediately stood out to me as a mature and intelligent young woman. She was constantly dedicated to her work and while that may not seem to directly connect to her love of animals I believe it highlights her dedication and commitment. She has always excelled in all that she does and I guarantee she will put forth that same commitment to your beloved pet.”
