“Valarie was amazing! She took great care of our home and our Shiba! We were glad of the daily updates and pictures that she provided. She also took our dog on walks which we were very grateful for. Would recommend 10/10”


“Chloe was great with our animals. She checked in with me after the first night and sent me a picture of Raina and Raina looked absolutely smitten with her. Warmed my heart. She treated my animals like they were her own. Despite this booking having a hiccup, she handled it professionally and communicated effectively. We will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks Chloe!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and some would say I prefer animals over people. I’ve been involved in rescue since 2004 and have seen firsthand just how cruel people can be. As a former vet tech, I promise to take care of your babies just like my own. You have nothing to worry about while you’re away. Lots of check ins, photos and love! I do work full time M-F but am available before and after work. Depending on location, a quick trip at lunch to say hi may work too. I’m totally available on weekends. while visiting your home, your kiddos will be safe with me. Whether it’s playing in a fenced yard or on leash, They will get all the exercise they need.

“Riley was fantastic. She stayed over night with our two dogs and we could tell that they didn’t miss a beat. She was very thoughtful, kept the house clean and even put the sheets in the laundry room. We will definitely use her again.”


“Alyssa house/pet-sat my dog and two cats for 24 days in Feb-Mar, 2023. The pets were happy, my mail was collected, the dog loved playing with her young dog, and I came back to a clean house. I recommend Alyssa as a reliable sitter or caretaker for your pet-sitting needs!”


“MicKayla was great — she was on time everyday, sent pictures, stayed in contact with us with any updates or questions and came home to our pets being happy in house the way we left it — highly recommend to anyone and we will be booking again with her next time”


“This was our second time using Ken. He is so great and attentive with Chewy and tolerates all of our questions about how she’s doing which is very much appreciated. He is very understanding of her anxiety and general weirdness. It is such a blessing to be able to confidently leave her in his care and not have to be concerned about a single thing.”


“Alexandria did a great job taking care of our puppy. She entertained her, took her for walks and kept me updated through texts and pictures. Before she left, she even cleaned up the toys our puppy usually leaves everywhere.”


“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She took them on several walks despite the Columbia heat in July. I could tell they were well loved from the pictures she sent while we were away. She also was very helpful with a water issue we had at the house while we were gone. Definitely would use her in the future!”


About: Animals have been a part of my life since day ONE- I grew up as an only kid on the family farm, so my pets were truly my best friends. That early bond gave me a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and body language. I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, rabbits- you name it- since I was little and have always been able to tell when an animal needs space, reassurance, play, or just a quiet moment. I also have experience working with injured and/or sick animals; administering IV/IM injections, wound care/first aid, breathing treatments, etc. Today, I share my home with a sweet dog and cat, and we also own a horse who is boarded just outside of town. I care for every pet like they’re my own and develop deep bonds with the animals in my care. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, a slow walk for a senior dog, or calming a nervous horse, I take pride in reading their needs and meeting them with patience, kindness, and care. I’m currently between jobs and using this time to re-evaluate my career goals- so I’m home during the day and have a very flexible schedule. The only regular commitment I have outside the house is feeding horses at our barn twice a week, which takes about two hours— so even on those days, I’m not away for long. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and relaxed. At my home, they’ll have access to a large, fenced backyard, playtime with my friendly terrier mix Robi and lots of attention from my middle school aged kids who love animals. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I treat every pet like part of the family, wherever they are.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Shermida—and caring for dogs isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love. With over 14 years of experience, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and personalities, providing everything from daily walks and feedings to baths, vet visits, and grooming support. Friends, neighbors, and family have long trusted me to treat their pets like my own. Growing up in a home full of animals, I learned early on how to connect with pets and understand their unique needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I offer personalized care that’s both compassionate and reliable. My mission is to make life easier for pet owners while keeping their furry companions happy, healthy, and safe. I’d be honored to be part of your dog’s care team! I work from home, so your pet will always have someone nearby to look after them. I’m available throughout the day to check in, take them for walks, and make sure they’re well-fed and comfortable. Your pet’s routine and well-being are my top priorities Safety and fun go hand in hand here.I keep a close eye on pets to make sure they’re not playing too rough, eating something they shouldn’t, or trying to escape. I’ve got a large, fully fenced-in yard where your pet can run, play, and explore freely—always under watchful supervision. It’s a safe space where pets can enjoy themselves while staying protected.

About: Coming from a family of animal lovers, I feel that I have inherited a passion for loving God's little creatures. I have experience in pet sitting cats, dogs, and even rats. Over the years, I've had the privilege of raising a number of different animals; some of which include: an opossum, deer, squirrels, bunnies, ducklings, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and of course, cats & dogs! Additionally, I have experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, senior care, and administering medication. I am currently enrolled at USC and work limited hours as an in-home caregiver for a young woman with special needs. Most of my classes are online so my schedule remains very flexible! I approach every animal with the gentleness and love that they deserve. I am happy to provide for your pet in anyway that you need!

“Braelyn was great. Pearl was calm and at ease with her (even though there were massive thunderstorms and electricity went out one night). Communicative and helpful. Would definitely ask her to sit with Pearl again.”


About: I have two dogs of my own that I love to spoil! I’ve taken care of them from puppies to their older ages. Given medicine, potty trained, bathed and groomed, etc. I have plenty of experience! I currently work a full time job but have flexibility to leave during the day if needed. My weekends are free and I tend to stay home. I live in the country by water where your dogs can run if they are trained off leash. If they aren’t I will happy to take them on a walk. I have two dogs that love to play with other dogs!

About: Hi, I’m Erika! I’ve been caring for animals since I was very young and have experience with a wide variety of pets—including fish, lizards, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats. Although I couldn’t have a cat growing up due to allergies in my household, I’ve been cat-sitting for neighbors since elementary school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from toy poodles to mastiffs, and have experience with breeds like border collies, standard and miniature poodles, German shepherds, French bulldogs, dachshunds, goldendoodles, labs, Boykin spaniels, shih tzus, and more. I’ve also dog-sat puppies and kittens and have experience with senior pets, including administering oral medication when needed. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just offering a calm, reassuring presence, I’m committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment. I also prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners to keep them updated and at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available most days and can easily accommodate multiple walks or drop-ins throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I have the flexibility to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to your pet whenever it’s needed. I don’t offer overnight stays at my own home because one of the dogs I live with doesn’t get along well with other dogs. However, I’m happy to do overnight stays at your home, where your pet is most comfortable and in a familiar environment. This way, I can provide consistent care, keep up with their routine, and ensure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.

Snug Harbor pet parents share their Rover experiences
Braelyn did an amazing job watching our fur baby GSD while we were out of town. She kept things normal for him and communicated perfectly. He had a tiny spot come up on his back that required a little medical attention and she handled it all very well - helping him to heal up. We felt very confident with both our dog and home and in her hands. She also kept the cats company and the week went perfectly. Highly recommend her services!!
