“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!”
“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”
“Brennen was outstanding. She has an obvious and natural love for animals. My dogs Rosie and Rudie immediately felt at home in her care - in fact, I think she "spoiled them." Communication was excellent. Brennen's children were wonderful with the dogs, and both dogs immediately fell in love with them. Brennan's own dog was well behaved and welcoming to mine. I would recommend Brennen and her family without hesitation.”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”
“Jennifer has been the best dog sitter by far! She’s so attentive to my little baby’s needs and sends multiple picture updates daily. I will be using her in the future and have already used her multiple times. My dog Levy has fallen in love with her and her beautiful family! Thank you for the wonderful care!”
“Lindsey was amazing! She was kind, patient and knowledgeable. She treated my pups like her own, they needed a lot of understanding and special attention since we’ve never left them before. Lindsey went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and sent lots of pictures to put us at ease. Thank you so much!!!”
“Alexandrya has been wonderful both times she’s watched my dogs. She’s always so quick and responsive, sends me the cutest pictures and is so patient and kind even with my problem children giving her a run for her money.”
“Laura was absolutely AMAZING with my Shiba Inu pup. She sent videos and photos of her goofing off with Laura’s dog. She even got her photo done with Santa which was hilarious. I would 100% use her again for our pet sitting needs versus any kenneling service. My pup absolutely loves her!”
“Absolutely phenomenal! She came in clutch when I needed someone to board my dog on short notice, and was flexible when my plans went all haywire. Riley is truly dependable and was incredibly kind to myself and my dearest Coco. 5/5 stars, 3/3 fish, Coco approved and grade A communication.”
“Ashley was seriously amazing! Watched my dog overnight and kept me totally in the loop with updates and cute pics, which I really appreciated. Super flexible with pickup time and even sent him home with treats and a refill of doggy bags! You can tell she genuinely cares. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. Definitely booking with her again! 💛”
“Alexis did a marvelous job with BoBo. She provided daily updates with pictures of BoBo enjoying himself. Alexis also made last minute changes to drop BoBo off at home for we could not make it there to pick him up. Alexis is highly recommended!!”

Sumter dog parents share their Rover experiences
Yentl was a life saver for us! We were planning to visit SC for the weekend and found out that the Airbnb didn’t allow dogs. Yentl came through for us and our Baby had a great weekend with her and her fur babies. She made adjustments to accommodate our travel schedule and maintained great communication throughout the weekend. We’ll be using her again the next time we’re visiting SC.
