Amanda is a kind and caring person. My kitties were well cared for. Therefore, I was able to relax while away and not worry about my precious kitties. I am eternally grateful for ROVER and Amanda and the services that they provided. Thank you! ❣️🐾❣️🐾❣️

About: I had the pleasure of caring for and loving my two shelter (or, found outside in the cold) dogs for about 14 years. From puppyhood to senior years. I understand all stages and will meet their needs as required. I am a mom of four very active boys. I work mornings, Monday through Thursday, so I am free in the early afternoon. I am able to make my own schedule around sports, school, doctor's appointments, etc. My evenings are more busy than my afternoons. I will gladly make time during my day for some four-legged, furry friends. I will gladly come to your home to feed, let out, and/or walk your dog when you cannot. We can schedule an initial meeting to familiarize the dog and myself, and go from there.

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!

This was our first time using Rover or having anyone that wasn't a family member/friend to take care of Miley. Cannot recommend Sarah more!! She took care of Miley like she was her own. The daily updates with photos really make all the difference. We will continue to book with her anytime we need!!

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.

About: I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was 12 years old. Horses, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, you name it! My love for animals is what inspired me to become a vet tech and I want to continue providing care for many years to come. I have several references available upon request. I'm currently available all 7 days of the week for overnight sitting, drop in visits, or walking services! I will plan to meet with you and your pet(s) prior to any confirmation of services to make sure it's a good fit for all of us. I prefer to care for animals in the comfort of their own homes. Having a daily routine that is specific to an animal provides stability, and removing them to a completely new area they don't recognize can be possibly damaging and cause significant stress. I will adapt to your pet's schedule and help make them feel at ease knowing they won't be forcibly removed from their home.

About: I am a big dog lover and truly happiest when I’m around pups! I’ve spent the last two years walking and caring for my own dog every single day, so I know how important routine, patience, and lots of love are. I’ve also pet sat for other animals, which has helped me understand that every dog has their own little personality and I love getting to know what makes each one special! Whether your pup wants to power walk, sniff every tree, or just soak up attention, I’m all in. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with tons of affection, attention, and care. Expect cute photo updates and a very happy, well loved pup every time! 🐶💛 Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life! I walk and care for my own dog every single day, so planning my schedule around walks, feeding times, and quality time with pups is something I’m used to and truly enjoy. I love staying active, so adding dog walks into my daily routine feels effortless and fun for me not like a task. I intentionally leave flexibility in my schedule so I can give each dog the time and attention they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to every day! 🐶💛 I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions so your pet feels secure and stress free. I’m very respectful of your space and always keep things clean. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, cozy environment with supervised playtime, structured walks, and lots of love and attention. No matter where they are, I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, care, and plenty of affection

This review is long overdue! I have been using Marissa for about a year now give or take for twice weekly drop ins. I have a senior diabetic pomeranian and a 3 year old highly energetic Border Collie and both of my dogs seem to love Marissa! We always get pictures of our smiling pups and it is clear they have a good time during the visit. Marissa is not only great with our dogs, but she is reliable, trustworthy, and will go the extra mile to accommodate bookings. We never come home to any accidents, and she is always kind enough to bring our packages in front the porch. This holiday season she surprised us with a goodie bag with some things for our dogs AND us! It just goes to show how thoughtful and caring she is. I would absolutely recommend booking with Marissa!

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 happiness as my top priority, including: • Nail care 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 cared for dogs and cats since I was 8 and loved every minute of it. I've frequently walked, fed, played with, and loved my cat, two dogs, and those of my friends, family, and coworkers! I have experience caring for fish as well. I also have experience with basic training commands like sit, stay, lay down, etc. I love being active and outdoors, so I have no issue taking a furry friend along for the ride. I’m a college student home for the summer using this as my daily dog fix + an enjoyable side hustle. Aside from my part-time jobs, I am very flexible. I'll work my schedule around your pets needs! I respect your privacy entirely and promise to go above and beyond for your pets. Pictures will always be provided so you can rest easy knowing your pets are safe and sound. Permission will be asked before any extra treats are given!
