“I am delighted to give this dog sitter a 5-star review. They took exceptional care of my fur baby while I was away. Their communication was excellent, providing regular updates and photos which reassured me that my dog was in good hands. They went the extra mile to make my dog feel at ease and loved, and it showed when I returned home to a happy and content pup. I will definitely be using their services again in the future, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a responsible and caring dog sitter. Thank you for your outstanding service!”


“My boys were so happy to have Lauren check in on them again while they had the house to themselves for a week. She provided snacks, a clean litter box, water, and most of all - pets and love. She does a fabulous job taking care of them and helps calm my mommy mind while I am away. They are already asking when their friend will be coming back!”


“Thanks for all you have done for my babies. Oreo can be a handful at times. House and litter boxes look good. If you need a reference just let me know. Just a little extra. Thanks Leslie”

About: I grew up with dogs of my own and in more recent years have accumulated a few cats as well. I have had some experience working in an animal hospital and have been trusted by family and friends to care for their pets for years. I have a very caring and gentle approach, but can care for pets of all sizes. I have cared for seniors and have been known to spoil pets rotten. Pet care is my sole focus and at this time my schedule is very open. I am available any time and day of the week. Personally, I view animals more as my equal and friend rather than pets. I strive to understand and respect their boundaries and let them be their natural selves rather than expecting them to act as a human. I let my animals see me as their friend who simply shares a home with mutual respect for each other. However, I am very good at following instructions and upholding any rules that any pet owners may have for their homes.

About: I’ve spent the past 12 years not just caring for pets, but truly knowing them. I’m the kind of sitter animals trust instinctively. My focus is drop-in visits and dog walking, because I believe quality time, gentle presence, and routine care are what matter most. I’ve worked with everything from energetic pups to senior dogs, who just need a quiet, comforting visit. Whether I’m popping in for a potty break or heading out for a walk, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is woven into every part of my day. I don’t clock in and out, it’s just who I am. I’m home full-time, so I’m available throughout the day for walks and drop-ins. I care for our own dog daily with consistent routines, gentle presence, and responsive attention. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, or a walk to burn energy, my schedule and heart are wide open. This isn’t a side hustle, it’s my rhythm, my joy, and my focus. When I step into a client’s home, I bring quiet confidence and calm energy. I respect routines, follow care instructions closely, and make sure each pet feels safe in their familiar space. Whether it’s a quick potty break, feeding time, or a walk around the block, I’m focused on your pet’s comfort, security, and happiness. I clean up after visits, lock up carefully, and communicate clearly, so you never have to wonder how things went. This is care built on trust, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: As a dedicated animal lover with a family legacy of operating three successful boarding and grooming kennels in Maryland, I am passionate about providing exceptional animal care. With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.

About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.

About: I have had and taken care of animals as long as I can remember. I will treat your pet as my very own! Not just providing basic needs but love and attention! I work part time so I would consider caring for your fur babies as an after workday pleasure to wrap up my day and will be excited to spend some time playing with them! I will care for your fur babies as my own. If you have any special instructions please let me know and leave a detailed note explaining these requirements!

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, having grown up with two cats and a dog. I have continuously supported friends, family, and neighbors by watching and walking their dogs. Years of this hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care routines, and the patience and compassion required to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I am a recent college graduate, working only part time at the moment until I leave to continue my education in the fall of 2025. As of now, I have plenty of free time, so I will be able to work with your pets any day of the week, including weekends! When caring for pets, my top priority is ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness. I provide personalized attention to each pet, taking time to understand their unique needs, routines, and preferences. During check-ins, I ensure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or designated potty areas, and plenty of playtime and affection. For dogs, I offer walks that match their energy level and provide mental stimulation. I am attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and communicate regularly with pet owners to provide updates and peace of mind. My goal is to create a nurturing, stress-free environment where pets feel loved and cared for in their owners absence.

About: I've had years of experience watching not only my own pets but neighbors and friends pets while they are away. Treat them like they are my own I work part-time and have avalibilty to be home on weekends and Fridays. Most Evenings except for one night I'm home by 5pm and available to take fur babies out for walks. Safety is always a priority, making sure they have the right foods and providing plenty of water. Keeping them safe when going on walks day or night

About: I am new to pet sitting for the public, but I’ve always loved dogs and have had several of my own. I don’t view this as just another way to make money— I think it’s an exciting opportunity to care for your special pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust pet sit. I’ve had experience with my own dogs for years and I have always a special place in my heart for them. There’s no better job to have than one you’re passionate about! I am currently babysitting part-time, leaving me free to dog sit most weekdays until 2:15 and all day on most Mondays. I am hoping to have a fuller schedule! I am able to keep your dog inside only if kept in a crate. A long cable outside in my backyard will be another option if you’d prefer your dog have more space to play! I have a young lab (not a quite year old yet) but I will be able to keep them separated.
