“Craig did a Drop In today with our pup. I have never used Rover before and Craig made us totally comfortable. We did a Meet and Greet a couple days ago and then had our first ever Drop In today. Craig was on time. He sent photos, updated us on our pup’s potty business along with letting us know how our pup greeted him, etc. We will definitely use Craig again and will recommend him to our friends.”
“Jessica and Kayla absolutely exceeded our expectations when trusting a rover sitter with our pets. They’re communicative, punctual, and amazing with all animals. We will for sure be booking with them in the future!”
About: The house I grew up in always had dogs around, we used to train them for shows so I have an idea of how to keep pets safe and out of trouble, I have experience with dogs as tiny as a dachshund and as big as a boston mastiff so i’m prepared for anything. I am currently a student at HGTC working on getting my degree in ultrasound tech. I also work part time at the Applebee’s as a server. While all that seems like a lot I actually do get more free time then I expected and I would love to spend that time watching your pets. I like to treat every animal as if it was my own, giving them the same love and respect I would my pets. Whatever you decide is best for how you would like me to watch your animals is how I will do it, it takes a lot of trust to find a sitter so it’s important to me that I follow any guidelines given.

“Kat was awesome with Simba’s care. She took the time to make the cat feel comfortable around her and kept in constant communication with me. Her pictures were a great addition and I appreciated them. I would for sure ask for her help again the next time we travel. Thank you for everything!!”
“Kelly is a wonderful cat sitter. My two cats usually run from people, but they were very comfortable with Kelly. Some days she played with them and on other days they just chilled. She sent me pictures every day along with a summary of what they had done and how they acted. I was very pleased to have her as a sitter for my two cats.”
“Lauren did amazing with my four month old puppy! I’ve had a struggle trying to find a good sitter for her but I trusted her completely! She gave photos and very detailed notes throughout the drop in that made me feel comfortable. I’ll be using her in the future!”
“I knew I chose the right person to watch my cat when I met Julia. She is kind and very responsive. She showed a great deal of love and care for my cat. I will certainly use her again for future sittings.”
“We are so happy to have had Belkis care for our pup. We did the Myrtle Beach Marathon and needed help with our dog while we were running. Belkis came the day before to meet Toby and find our camp spot as we were also camping at the beach. She was wonderful with him and so accommodating to us. I highly recommend using Belkis for your pet care needs!”
“Winter took wonderful care of Rogue, my elderly dog. She was on time for every visit, followed my requests, and was patient and gentle with Rogue on her low energy days. She also sent sweet photos of their belly-rub time, which made my day. Kind, reliable, and trustworthy. I'd happily book her again!”
About: Back in 2022 I had one girl ask if I can watch her dog and I told her of course I love dogs and then after that I had so many more people asked me after I told them that I watch dogs and cats and ever since then I absolutely loved what I did. Seeing different types of pets with different personalities made me love it more. So I work throughout the week and I wanted to start only on the weekends first just to get myself through the door but maybe in the future I can make this a full time job Mostly a lot of the animals I took care of I got to be apart of there homes all of them so I got to stay over take care of them play with them take them on long walks feed them and just show them lots and lots of love and attention cause that’s what they need. Every animal is different so whatever the client tells me I will follow instructions through and I love to send lots of pictures of there animals to clients to let them know they are safe and in good hands
About: Hello! I have loved animas all my life. I have owned many and spent years working at a veterinary hospital. I have a sweet little dog of my own and a little boy who helps to love and care for them. We would love to help care for your pets when you need! I work full time (9-5), however I frequently work from home and when I am in the office, I can come home when I need to tend to my own dog or any other pets. I am home weekends and all holidays. I have a very friendly mini Goldendoodle and a sweet little 9 year old boy. My yard is not fenced in, however we take many walks and love to explore the woods and ponds in the back yard!
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was a child. I have been involved in fostering for local rescues & shelters for 5 years I have co-ran my own 501c3 rescue for almost 3 years I do work full time, so I am gone Monday- Friday from roughly 7A.M until 6 P.M. (depending on how far you are from my job). I drive Uber on the weekends during the summer months, but those hours are flexible & can vary based on your pet's needs. I have a fenced yard, but I have 3 senior dogs of my own and because of running the rescue, I usually have a foster dog as well so taking a dog into my home would be more challenging, but if I were to drop in or stay at your home, your dog(s) would get all of the one on one attention &time that they require
About: I have significant experience with pet dogs and day to day care. I incorporate structured walks, appropriate enrichment, and clear boundaries to create a safe and balanced environment. I was responsible for daily kennel operations, including cleaning and sanitizing kennels, managing play yards, and maintaining overall structure and safety. I am trained in basic canine first aid, including CPR, wound care, bandaging, and medication administration. I am also experienced in safely breaking up dog altercations and handling high-drive and working breeds with confidence and control. I provide trainer led care, backed by formal education and hands on experience in the canine training field. I completed an intensive six month professional dog trainer program at Highland Canine Training, where I entered the industry through real world, practical application working with a wide variety of dogs. During the program, I trained and handled police K9s in apprehension work, narcotics detection, and search and rescue (SAR) trailing. I also gained experience working with service dogs for autism assistance and assurance. My education included extensive work with dogs experiencing behavioral challenges, along with foundational through advanced obedience training. I have experience managing reactive dogs and confidently advocating for their space and needs. I’m highly proficient in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to best support each individual dog. Training is my full-time job. I also offer boarding, pet sitting, and walks as part of my services. My schedule is built around my training clients, and I only take on pet care bookings I can fully commit to. Fully fenced yard with two of my own friendly dogs to help provide safe companionship. If your dog is not dog friendly, no worries, my dogs will not interact. A separate kennel area is available for rest breaks and feedings. Daily health checks and thorough daily cleaning practices are implemented to ensure a safe and clean environment.
“April was excellent; she was patient with my last minute booking (...and my accidentally inputting the wrong address), communicated throughout everything, and sent great pics. I will definitely be reaching out to her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Socastee
Our cat, Lego, is very comfortable with Christa as his sitter. She is very good to him and we never worry about him while we are away. Christa sent many pictures of him and kept us up-to-date on his daily eating habits, etc. She reported his daily greetings to us and what a pleasure he was to care for. Everything was neat & tidy when we returned. She has our whole-hearted praise as a responsible and caring pet sitter. In addition, she brought our mail in and took our trash out. Five stars ***** and A+++ for her caring attention to care details and genuine love for our pet!
Kat was amazing. She sent pictures and videos of our cat Fluffy, which included personal comments as well. Fluffy is afraid of everyone and usually hides in the closet with new people. Kat was able to have him come out and was able to pet him. We were shocked when we saw the video. We will definitely use Kat again in the future.
She was amazing and truly went above and beyond while taking care of my cat. She was very responsive, kept me updated, and was so sweet and patient with him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Nikole was absolutely amazing with our dog! Our Doberman has pretty severe separation anxiety, and we were so worried about leaving her. Thanks to Nikole, my husband and I were finally able to enjoy a vacation knowing our dog was in caring, capable hands. She was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She stayed with our dog until she was calm and settled, giving her the comfort and reassurance she needed. She also kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Nikole genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe and loved. We are so grateful for everything she did and can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Nikole is the one to call!
Dawn does a great job with our cats. From our first visit with her our cats could tell she was a cat person and were more friendly than they usually are with strangers. She makes sure that she gives them treats and pets- even when they aren’t cooperating! We trust leaving our pets with her.
I was a little on edge to leave my dogs while going out of town. After meeting kadyn before hand I already knew my dogs would be in good hands. She is so warm and friendly. They immediately warmed up to her. She is amazing at keeping you updated and it honestly felt like I was still with them. From the looks of it my dogs had the best time also. Would 100% book again!
I am very pleased with Tanya. She kept my dog on a schedule. She also sent pictures every day. My dog looked great when we got home. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone I know. This was the first time we left my dog, but Tawny but us at ease the first time we saw her. Thanks for everything Tawny!!!!!!
We love Nicole! We’ve used her twice now for drop in visits & she takes such great care of our 2 dogs & kitten as if they were her own. She always goes above and beyond. It’s such a relief to be able to leave knowing my animals are being so well cared for while I’m gone

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
