“Laura was fantastic. She provided daily updates with notes and pictures of our furbabies, which kept us well-informed. While she stayed with our pets, the house was also well-maintained, tidy, and clean. We would definitely book Laura again for future stays with our furbabies.”

“Robin was amazing taking care of our elderly dog . It was one of the nicest get aways we have had in years knowing she was taking such good care of our boy .. Her communication and daily pictures are great. We will be booking her for each of our future needs. Thank so much for caring for Rocky 🐶🐶”

“Kaitlyn is a great communicator, especially concerning issues she encountered while taking care of my two cats. One is very shy with new people and wouldn't come out to eat. Together we figured out a solution that worked. She arrived on time for each visit and managed to not set off our alarm. Always a plus, lol.”

About: We have been pet owners all our lives until recently. We have experience looking after dogs and cats. We would love to fill the gap by helping you out with pet sitting needs. Your fur baby will be treated as part of our family! My husband and I work full time, some days from home. My work is just few minutes away so I am able do potty breaks and walk during lunch. Our schedules are flexible and we can adapt to your needs. We currently don't have any pets at the house. Our yard not fenced but the neighborhood is very dog friendly with a little nature trail for walks.
About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.
About: Weekend boarding available! Small dogs only (under 40 lbs). Cozy home in Staley with fenced yard, two friendly resident dogs, and lots of playtime. I can keep animals separated at request, thought. Last-minute bookings welcome — drop off Friday PM, pick up Sunday PM. Medication, special diets, and puppy needs okay. 🐾 Message me for same-day availability! Hi! I’m Emily — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care pro. I work weekdays from 8–5, but I’m flexible and happy to collaborate on timing that works for you. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekend care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. I offer drop-ins, walks, and pet adventure packages with plenty of photo updates so you never miss a tail wag or silly face. You’ll get peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and having a great time. With 7+ years in pet care (including time at a busy pet hotel) and a current home full of chaos—one dog and four cats—I’ve worked with animals of all ages, temperaments, and needs. From zoomy puppies to shy senior cats, I adjust my approach to help each pet feel seen, safe, and calm. If your pup would benefit from a social walk, my dog Charlie may join — she’s polite, playful, and great at reading other dogs’ vibes. But solo care is always available too! New to Rover, but not new to pets. I’m here to connect with your furry family and make your time away feel a little easier — for both of you. 💬 My messages are always open — reach out anytime! I work full-time during the weekdays but have a flexible schedule after 5 PM for evening walks, check-ins, or cuddles. I also have open availability every other weekend and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits during those times. If your pet needs a consistent routine or you have special scheduling requests, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I believe in personalized, intuitive care—every animal is different, and I take the time to learn what works best for your furry friend. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I’ll be highly selective to ensure a good fit for both your pet and my own crew. I require a meet-and-greet in advance, so I can understand your pet’s needs, temperament, and routine—and make the proper adjustments in my home to keep everyone happy and stress-free. If I’m visiting your home, I ask for a pre-meeting with your pup, ideally including a walk and a conversation about your expectations, your pet’s routine, and any special needs. I want to make sure we’re all comfortable and on the same page before you head out. I provide calm, consistent care, always attuned to your pet’s behavior and emotional needs. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, an energetic hike, or just some quiet company, I tailor every visit to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood.
“Stephanie was an absolute ROCKSTAR! She provided an extremely high level of care to our two cats, who are suspicious of people. By the end, they were cuddling in her lap. The cats were provided with daily clean food, water, litter, treats and play time/snuggles. I’m pretty sure they were more disappointed to see her go vs us be home again. :) Thank you again Stephanie for the daily updates and photo slideshows to brighten our day. You eased my nerves, I had never left on vacation yet with our kitties, and it was the best time for kitties and myself!”

“Chigozirim did a great job coming and taking care of my cat. She gave him lots of cuddles and did everything I asked. I would recommend her, if you need someone to drop in on your pet 😊”

About: I am looking for flexible side gigs to earn some extra income and keep me busy. I am an avid dog lover and have a rescue fur-baby of my own at home. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I love playing with dogs, going on walks, and training young pups. I am allergic to cats, but as long as I am not touching it or covered in cat hair it is manageable. I work Monday-Friday 8a-4p, making me available for evening drop-ins or walks. I am also available some weekends. I will keep my calendar as up to date as I can. My dog is the closest thing I have to a child, and he is treated as if he is one. I am big on trust and safety, I want you and your dog to feel comfortable with me taking care of your precious baby! I love to do quick meet and greets before being hired to ensure I am a good match for your dog and family.
“Awesome cat sitter, I will definitely be using her in the future! I would recommend to anyone, always does what you said and keeps you in touch with all your babies are doing. Amazing sitter!”

“Olivia was above amazing. My cats took to her right away and usually it takes them some time. She stayed with them, gave them treats, fed them, scooped their litter and even cleaned up the litter area. She sent pictures (which I loved) and told me how they were acting everyday. Highly recommend Olivia for any pet owner.”


About: Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! I am here to offer my expertise as a pet care provider for a variety of services. During my childhood I was fortunate enough to share a home with dogs, cats, ducks, rabbits, birds and a variety of aquatic friends. In my professional life, I work as an advisor at the University of South Carolina and coach youth soccer in Richland County. Now I am fortunate to have a family that includes two young cats (Finn and Rey) and a beautiful partner who works as a physician at Palmetto Health Children's Hospital. Our passion has always been caring for others and you'll find that whether we host your loved one, or I go directly to you for care, I always strive to provide exactly what you are looking for. As a former semi-professional soccer player, I would be happy to take your dog for a long run or walk. If you require pet care in my own home, know that I can provide your pet(s) their own room too if they require it for any reason. I look forward to meeting you soon! Michael
“Abigail is amazing! Our old soul Yorkie (Ellie) and our sweet happy Havanese (Hera), really enjoyed their visits from Abigail!! We really appreciated her check-ins and text messages with updates! It was obvious she truly cared for our girls when we were away for the weekend. We will not hesitate to book Abigail again!”

“Our super senior cat warmed right up to Anabeth. My husband and I were able to relax on vacation knowing Morris was checked on daily and provided with love and all basic needs met. I hope”
