About: With two decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I genuinely love helping your furry friends stay happy, active, and loved while you're away. My services are more than just walks—they’re moments of joy, gentle play, positive reinforcement, and routines customized to each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup enjoys a brisk hike or a calm, sniff-filled stroll, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. You can trust me to keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. Providing loving and attentive care for senior pets and those with special medical needs. I am compassionate and skilled in administering medications, whether oral or injectable, and I am patient and gentle with pets facing mobility challenges. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while maintaining their routine and reducing any anxiety in your absence. Thanks to my flexible work-from-home schedule, I can cherish the opportunity to care for your pet in a more attentive and loving way. Being home most of the day means I can provide your pet with consistent potty breaks, engaging playtime, and comforting companionship. I can adjust my daily routine to meet your pet's unique needs, whether it's taking a mid-afternoon walk or sharing cozy cuddle moments on the couch. This flexibility allows me to nurture your pet’s well-being and meet their emotional and physical needs, which is so important for a happy, healthy life. When your beloved pets stay with me, they are welcomed into a warm and safe environment where they feel loved and cared for as part of my family. I understand how important their comfort and happiness are, which is why I focus on providing a gentle, consistent routine that helps ease any stress. To give each pet the love and attention they deserve, I only board 4 dogs at a time to ensuring they receive my full dedication, companionship, and plenty of playful interaction. During their stay, they will be pampered with lots of affection, regular potty breaks, meals tailored to their needs, and enriching activities to keep their minds and bodies happy. I also believe in keeping you connected, so I send frequent updates with photos and videos, giving you peace of mind and confidence that your precious companion is enjoying a joyful, stress-free stay.

About: I have been the neighborhood pet sitter for years. Neighbors trusted me with their senior dogs of 11 and 14, their dogs that had unending energy, puppies of around 1 or so, and cats and even fish too. I love going to the Greenville humane society and walking dogs of all kinds that have no home, and I have also worked on a couple farms taking care of dogs and cats and other farm animals as well. I am a hard worker and eager to take on new jobs. I work part time and am also involved in sports but I am flexible and willing to work with clients on times I can care for their pets as they need. I love spending time with dogs especially, so I’ll happily take time out of my day to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. I do not offer in house services, as my house is not an adequate environment for other dogs, but I am more than willing to come to your house
“Irma did a great job taking care of the boys. It had also been a while since they met her so she made sure to come over to the house a few days before to re-introduce herself to them which I appreciated. She was great at communicating with me on her arrival and sending pics!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal attention and care I give to each pet. I take time to learn their routine, quirks and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience with both tiny puppies and kittens feeding bottles. To senior pets who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and treat every animal like my own—making sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and comfort no matter their age or energy level. While working part- time at D6 teaching. I take on a few side jobs, I am a nanny, house sitter and decal maker have more free time and availability! I have one dog and three outdoor cats. I also have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to play and make themselves at home!
About: I have had pets in my home since I was a youth. I take pride in protecting, caring, and loving (including spoiling) all breeds and sizes. I currently work full time from home. I will be able to safely care for your pet. My care includes 2 daily walks and 2 feedings and snack time. My home has 3 pets. My puppy is crate trained (still learning), I have a 16 year old ( she is the boss), and a 6 year old cat (lives in my room).

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, watching my neighbors’ and friends’ dogs whenever they needed a reliable sitter. I also have experience house sitting and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide potty breaks every 2–4 hours, play fetch, go on walks, give plenty of attention, and stick to their usual routine as much as possible. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether it's playing ball, going to the park, or just relaxing together, I treat every dog like they're my own. Currently looking for a professional job at the moment so I have plenty of free time during the weeks/weekends to dog sit & house sit! Typically we feed our dogs twice a day. We let them out plenty and rather them get fresh air by letting them spend time outdoors in the backyard or sitting on the front porch. Then to finish off the day we either take them on a walk or I’ll take them to the park to throw the ball for them. And we of course give them lots of XOXO!

“Skyler was absolutely amazing while watching our dog and cat! She took such great care of them and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We received updates, photos, and could tell our pets were happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. When we came home, our babies were relaxed and content. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!!”


“James was excellent! He helped us last minute and jumped right in. My dogs love him. He sent pictures of them throughout the week and made sure to let us know how they were doing. Definitely plan to book again and would recommend to friends/family!!”

“Danielle comes by twice a week to check in on my pup while I’m at work and I get such peace of mind from her frequent updates and pictures. My dog also gets so excited to see her each week!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I work from home so I am fully available during the week and the weekends and I’m flexible with any schedule that my customers need. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly French bulldog to give your pet some company and I can create your dog any time if needed.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
