“Alana has been great! She sees our young puppy three times a week. Our puppy is so timid but Alana is patient with her and gets her to have successful potty and play breaks. She also helps us reinforce basic commands, which is a great help when raising a new puppy! We love Alana and will continue using her services!”
“Courtney was awesome with my cat Mufasa. He’s a very shy cat runs and hides when people come inside, Mufasa warmed up to her and he let her pat him which was awesome. I totally felt comfortable with her taking care of Mufasa and I will definitely hire her again.”
“Robert has my highest recommendation! He checked on my 3 cats for 2 weeks while I was away and did a wonderful job, even going above and beyond. He made sure they were taken care of and sent me humorous updates every day. The communication was great, asked questions if needed and let me know anything going on with the house or cats, or any change in plans. He also brought in my mail, took out my trash, and I think left the house even cleaner than I left it. I am extremely grateful for all he did while I was away to be able to trust that my babies were in good hands - awesome cat sitter!!”
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.
“Fantastic sitter! Kirsten is very responsive and super sweet to your pets. She handled our cat's odd litter (wood pellet) without issue, which made everything super smooth! Her cat, Momo, was also super gentle and accepting of our Mindy. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and I will be holding onto her info for when we need a sitter again!”
“Mia is fantastic. She took great care of our fur baby who can be a handful at times. She had the house nice and clean when we returned and even washed her bedding. We highly recommend Mia for any pet sitting needs and I will be rebooking her for Feb as soon as I finish this review.”
“Super responsive and interactive with my cat! Sent a ton of videos and photos. We even came home to a card and two little snow globes for my kiddos. Can’t recommend more. We will definitely book Jaylin again to care for our pets!”
“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!!!”
“Jacquelyn was a great pet sitter for my two kitties! She was prompt and made sure they were all taken care of and got some human interaction while I was out of town. She was communicative and sent good updates each visit. I would definitely trust her to watch them again.”
“Brennen took such amazing care of our cats! I couldn't have asked for better in any way. She sent pictures daily and communicated so well with us on how they were doing. We will definitely use her services again when we need to travel out of town.”
About: I have previous experience caring for animals as a veterinary assistant at a Veterinary Clinic. I also have experience working in pet boarding facilities and non-profit animal rescue organizations. I would love to offer my services to people or families in need of pet care. From the smallest of creatures to the biggest of paws, I always treat every animal with the same respect, care, and love I would like to be treated with. I have mostly open availability during my weekly routine to assist in pet care needs. I have the flexibility to provide care mostly any day or time with just a short notice. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. I have one dog who loves any opportunity to play with others. If your pet prefers to be more of a "lone wolf" no worries, I am happy to make any accommodations they may need.
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 in university, 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 enjoy every new experience I’m offered to care for a new pet. I do my best to adapt to their routine and keep them comfortable in their environment. Whatever their normal is, I’d love to be apart of it!
“Lindsey was available kind of last minute and worked with our schedule to be able to do a pre-meeting. She sent pictures and communicated with each visit to check on our sweet cats. We felt confident that our loved ones were in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our vacation!”
About: I've had a pet pig who's best friend was the pet rooster, I've had birds and goats, I've had dogs big and small and had cats too, also been around cows. I just recently got laid off so I'll be free until further notice, I'll be free almost any day and time of the week just give me a message. I make sure my pets get fed probably daily, check and clip their nails if needed, play with them for exercise and love on them.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 14 years old. He was always by my side up until his recent passing. I want other pet owners to be able to trust me and know that their pet is in great hands with me. I work full time Monday- Friday as I am currently active duty in the military. I am really only available on the weekends or holidays. I will care for your pets in your home as if they were my own. You tell me your routine and I follow it to a tee

Sumter cat parents share their Rover experiences
Over the past year of living in the area we have trusted Courtney the most to care for our girl any time we went out of town. Leaving a member of the family behind for a few days is never a fun part of taking a trip but we knew Leia was in the best hands. Thank you so much Courtney for all your help and kindness with Leia this past year!
Robert was absolutely fantastic! He cared for my three pets for four days on very short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly consistent, responsive, and reliable the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. As an added bonus, he went above and beyond by bringing in packages and even returning my trash can from the curb—small things that made a big difference. It’s clear he genuinely cares, not just about the pets, but about the whole household. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter!
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!!!
