“Courtney went above and beyond. She is so kind, met all my cats needs and communicated wonderfully every day. So thankful I have someone trusted to pet sit, 10/10 recommend.”


“Jacquelyn took great care of the dogs. I received pupdates every day, and they always seemed like they were having a good time. Will definitely book again in the future!”


“I wish I could leave 6/5 stars. Thank you so much Gabrielle!!! You saved us when we needed last minute help! We will probably never find someone more trustworthy and caring as you!❤️”


“Kelly has been an absolute blessing. She has helped me give injections to my cat over the past six weeks. She is incredibly kind, often brining a treat for Ciri, and helping me to keep my sanity by calming a very anxious kitty.”


“Lindsey was professional and did everything that was asked of her during her visit. Giving oral medication to a cat is not always easy, so it is nice to have a pet sitter who is capable of doing that. Her experience as a Vet Technician is a real plus!”


“I was told of Rover.com from a co-worker who had used your service, but I was a little apprehensive going on to the Rover.com website because I did not know what to expect but quickly realized there were folks (sitters) I knew, and that eased my mind. I like how you set it up the meet-and-greet to see if the sitter and dog(s) match. While I was on vacation, I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands. I do greatly appreciate Stacy and her calm demeanor with my Ammo, who is a little protective of me, but she took to Stacy, and all was well. Thank you all for the service you provide and for Stacy who did an outstanding job ensuring my little ones were good each day. A believer of Rover.com Josué”


“Highly recommend Yentl for any of your pet care needs! This was my first time using Rover and I really lucked out finding Yentl. Since it was my first time leaving my cat with someone new I was really nervous and she took amazing care of my baby. Thanks again Yen!!!”


“Ariel cat and house sat for us while we were on a short trip. Despite having to deal with several unexpected challenges, she was always professional, had excellent communication, and made lemonade out of lemons! She had car trouble on her way to our home, yet she still found a way to arrive on time. Our alarm system malfunctioned while we were gone with the fire alarm going off several times in a row for no apparent reason, and she dealt with the whole ordeal--even meeting with the firemen--very calmly and made sure our cat was safe and sound once it was all over. She left the house in perfect condition. In fact, she even stripped the bedsheets so it would be easier for us to just throw them in the wash. We felt comfortable with her in charge.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I got my Stella in 2020. Shortly after, I also got Charlie, and more recently I got Bagel. I love to take them on walks, to the dog park, and treat them to pup-cups. On occasion, I have also helped out with babysitting puppies and dogs for family friends. I love any dogs, big or small. I’m currently a full time student at USC-Sumter with a part-time job outside of Rover, but I can still make plenty of time to play with your pups! If I can make time for my dogs, it’s no problem with yours. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to make new furry friends. I can easily help your dog feel welcomed in my home or make them more comfortable with me being in yours.

“Helen took such amazing care of my little girl, Fiona! I was in a crunch to find someone to drop in and Helen really saved the day and spoiled my girl with so much love and attention while I was gone. I think Fiona loves Helen more than she loves me now! So far she’s been Fiona’s favorite sitter and I’m very excited to book with her again soon.”


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’ve been taking care of dogs since I was kid. I grew up around lots of dogs, and have taken care of friends and family’s dog. I’m in the military, but I work your typical 8-4 and off on weekends. So plenty of free time to watch or walk your pets ! I take very good care of my two cats ! And have always prioritized animal safety when watching someone else’s pets. Also animal cpr certified

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background as a veterinary assistant and my years of experience in pet sitting. I currently work in an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a strong foundation in handling a wide variety of medical situations with calmness and confidence. I’m skilled in senior pet care, medication administration, and monitoring for signs of illness or stress—especially important for pets with chronic conditions. I'm also experienced with puppies and understand how to support them through house training, socialization, and routine-building using positive reinforcement. When it comes to cats, I’m particularly attentive to their unique needs and sensitivities. Whether it's managing stress in shy or senior cats, giving medications (including insulin or subcutaneous fluids), or simply understanding feline body language to ensure they're comfortable and secure, I prioritize creating a calm, cat-friendly environment. I know how to care for both the affectionate lap cats and the more independent or anxious types with patience and respect for their space. All of this allows me to offer pet care that is both compassionate and informed—tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I'm currently working full time but I work 3 days and am off for four. I would have plenty of time to spend with your babies and make sure that they receive the utmost amount of care. My two pups are very friendly and love to pawty with other pups when they can! My knowledge in first aid and cpr when it comes to pets (including rodents and reptiles) makes me feel ready for any situation.

“Ms. Michelle was very helpful, loving, kindhearted, supportive and very generous to My Goldie! She administered AND documented Goldie’s seizure medications thoroughly without me even asking her to provide documentation of any kind. Ms. Michelle communicated with me throughout Goldie’s stay with her and she even sent pictures to show me Goldie’s wellbeing. I would definitely recommend Ms. Michelle for your pets needs and I’ll definitely be using her again! She even took the time to ensure Goldie was safe and comfortable by giving Goldie her own room filled with toys, food, water and litter. If that weren’t good enough, Michelle sent Goldie home with food and toys as well! Thank you Ms. Michelle for EVERYTHING!”


About: I’ve been in the pet sitting industry for the last 6 years. Neighbors, friends and friends of friends have relied on me to watch their fur babies! I have experience with in home stays for up to a week at a time, walks, letting out, feeding and being there for play time! My schedule tends to be pretty flexible! I’m mostly available in the mornings, evening, and weekends. I’m also able to do in house stays with my part time job. Any detailed information on how I can best be of service for you and your pet is always helpful when getting to know your pets!

About: I have had animals most of my life and have volunteered for the Humane Society and several animal shelters. I went to school for and worked as a veterinary technician. No dog is too small or too big. I will also take care of cats. I have 4 dogs or my own ranging from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. I will gladly stay overnight if needed. I work 7 days on 7 days off. I am looking to sit primarily on my off week so I devote my full attention to your fur baby. I will adhere to the standards you set. I will walk them as much as you would like as well as provide food and treats on your schedule. I will give them plenty of attention. I will gladly send pictures of their time with me.
