Audrey is amazing! She was willing to add another day last minute and took great care of our three fur babies. When we travel again, she'll be the one we go to... highly recommended!

Amanda was fantastic with our pets, even our diabetic cat that required insulin shots. She kept good communication with us and provided cute update pictures.

About: While I'll be new to Rover, i have the utmost care, and love for animals. I make sure I can read their body language to see what they are thinking, since they can't talk. I've been my friends' go-to person for pet sitting and fostering. I'm currently away from my boy during a move, and need some time with pups and kitties! I'd be looking for after-work walks and visits to start with. Possible mid-days depending on location. I'm used to on-leash high energy dogs and long trail walks. I normally let them choose the path so they get to enjoy the freedom of choice. And I ALWAYS pick up the poop! As for cats, I just love them so much. I an experienced with positivity training, so I care deeply about being a good person for your dog and cat. I will never demand, reprimand, or punish the animal. They are another living creature that deserves a voice! This is their time, their walk, and I make sure I am paying attention to them, and the surroundings. I will not be offering in-my-home-sitting, but if needed, I can possibly do pet and house sitting. I'm mostly looking for walking. I have experience house sitting as well, and would treat your home as I would hope someone watching mine would!

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

We went on vacation for 8 days and we needed someone who would take the best care of our 21 year old fur baby Oreo . Well Emily was perrrfect . She was there every day as promised and did everything on the list and then some . She gave Oreo lots of love and took many pictures to send us which helps when you’re away from your loving pet😊. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone who loves their pet and would like the best care while they’re not able to be home . Emily , thank you so much for all you did for Oreo and thank you for loving him like we do .. he misses you already 😊💕

About: I used to work at a doggy daycare, and have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am comfortable giving medications, bathing, and in cooperative dogs even nail trims. I work part time in the mornings, and I have a few recreational evening activities. I am almost always available by 2pm, and can even stop by in between jobs at work. I am comfortable with using crates when needed, and I am willing to use my car to bring your pup to parks for walks. I also can provide mental stimulation with different kinds of play.

About: I bring a naturally calm, grounded presence into every home I enter. Pets are incredibly intuitive, and I prioritize creating a peaceful, steady environment where they feel safe and secure. Whether your dog is anxious, high-energy, or just needs consistency, I focus on maintaining a structured routine with patience and gentle guidance. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and comfortable, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in stable, attentive hands. I’m currently in school and have a lot of time in between classes! I have tons of times to take care of your best friends! When pets stay in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with consistent routines to help them settle in smoothly. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play, and I always monitor pets while outside. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers a crate for rest, I can easily accommodate that to maintain their normal routine. My goal is to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

We met with Rachael the evening before her first time sitting with our dogs. She was very nice and seemed excited to doggie sit. I was happy to know that they were not stuck inside all day and that they had a chance to relieve themselves outside.

About: I’m a compassionate and dedicated animal lover with over 11 years of experience in pet care and farm management. From a young age, animals have been a central part of my life, and my love for them only continues to grow. Whether it’s through my own pets or helping friends and family, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience in animal care. I’m on a mission to create a rescue and horse stall that will not only offer a safe haven for animals but will also serve as a place for children with autism and special needs to experience the healing power of animal therapy. My goal is to create an environment where both animals and people can thrive, connecting through the unique bond that therapy animals offer. What I Offer I provide a range of services with your pet’s health and happiness as my top priority, including: • Nail care, grooming, and baths • Dog walking and pet sitting • Specially prepared homemade food tailored to your pet’s dietary needs I believe in offering care that goes beyond just the basics. Your pets will be treated like family, and I promise they will be in the best hands possible. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet’s needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help! Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members. Please feel free to share your preferred schedule, here on rover and I’ll do my best to accommodate both your needs and your pup’s. Thank you. I have a partially fenced yard with a river in the back, and my two pups, Nala and Winchester, are here to keep your dog company—there will be plenty of activities and fun for your pup! For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I do require an up-to-date vaccination record for each pet. I also ask for a brief overview of your pet’s daily routine, so I can maintain their schedule and ensure they stay comfortable and happy during their time with us. Additionally, please feel free to share any important details, such as potential triggers, resource guarding tendencies, allergies, or anything else I should know. I’d love to also hear about their favorite treats, toys, and activities to make sure they have an enjoyable stay!

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals throughout my life, from a young age. I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years. I have help dogs give birth and care for them and any possible complications that could happen. I have helped train puppies the basics and potty train and crate train. I have goats and a donkey and have worked on a horse farm for years. I love taking care of farm animals. Since I have worked on a farm and live on one somethings do happen and I have given shots and medication to animals when needed with instructions from owners. I bred and showed rabbits for a few years and took care of them mainly on my own when I was 14 years old. I've had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, birds, fish, and farm animals. I would be happy to care for any animal you may have! I work full time but currently have weekends off and week days evenings off. I do have a dog and live in an apartment that wouldnt allow me to host other dogs. I can stay at someone home if need be with their pets as long as my dog can come as well. I can walk dogs or go check on pets before and after work. Any time on weekends as well. I have a very friendly dog so if need to stay at a clients home she will need to come with me. My apartment would not allow another dog or cat here so i will not be able to host other pets. Staying at a clients home i will make sure their pets are as comfortable and safe especially since they are home they will be more at ease.
