“Courtney was amazing! She spent at least 30 minutes each visit and shared photos of my babies playing and eating. I felt relieved that they were treated as if they were Courtney’s kitties. I would highly recommend and will definitely check with her first on any trips we take!”


“Jacquelyn took great care of the dogs. I received pupdates every day, and they always seemed like they were having a good time. Will definitely book again in the future!”


“She did a fantastic job! I felt that I could let go of a lot of my anxiety and worry about leaving our pups behind! Will absolutely use her again if we become in need!”


“Bethany was super helpful and accommodated a last-minute booking for us. Our pups seemed very happy and relaxed while we were away. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“Kelly was awesome! She went above and beyond to care for our kitties while we were gone!! Our house and the cats area looked fantastic and she even gave them each a little toy. I highly recommend Kelly for your pet sitting needs!”


“Falynn did a great job with my dog. Kept me updated and my little girl was so happy to have a friend visit with her. Would recommend her anytime.”


“I was told of Rover.com from a co-worker who had used your service, but I was a little apprehensive going on to the Rover.com website because I did not know what to expect but quickly realized there were folks (sitters) I knew, and that eased my mind. I like how you set it up the meet-and-greet to see if the sitter and dog(s) match. While I was on vacation, I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands. I do greatly appreciate Stacy and her calm demeanor with my Ammo, who is a little protective of me, but she took to Stacy, and all was well. Thank you all for the service you provide and for Stacy who did an outstanding job ensuring my little ones were good each day. A believer of Rover.com Josué”

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 at USC-Sumter with a part-time job outside of Rover, 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 have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to make new furry friends. I can easily help your dog feel welcomed in my home or make them more comfortable with me being in yours.

“Ariel was really great with my cats. She played with the kittens and made sure to love on my older cat too. She sent pictures and reports after each visit so I knew how everyone was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Thanks, Ariel!”


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.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background as a veterinary assistant and my years of experience in pet sitting. I currently work in an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a strong foundation in handling a wide variety of medical situations with calmness and confidence. I’m skilled in senior pet care, medication administration, and monitoring for signs of illness or stress—especially important for pets with chronic conditions. I'm also experienced with puppies and understand how to support them through house training, socialization, and routine-building using positive reinforcement. When it comes to cats, I’m particularly attentive to their unique needs and sensitivities. Whether it's managing stress in shy or senior cats, giving medications (including insulin or subcutaneous fluids), or simply understanding feline body language to ensure they're comfortable and secure, I prioritize creating a calm, cat-friendly environment. I know how to care for both the affectionate lap cats and the more independent or anxious types with patience and respect for their space. All of this allows me to offer pet care that is both compassionate and informed—tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I'm currently working full time but I work 3 days and am off for four. I would have plenty of time to spend with your babies and make sure that they receive the utmost amount of care. My two pups are very friendly and love to pawty with other pups when they can! My knowledge in first aid and cpr when it comes to pets (including rodents and reptiles) makes me feel ready for any situation.

“Helen took such amazing care of my little girl, Fiona! I was in a crunch to find someone to drop in and Helen really saved the day and spoiled my girl with so much love and attention while I was gone. I think Fiona loves Helen more than she loves me now! So far she’s been Fiona’s favorite sitter and I’m very excited to book with her again soon.”

“Kylie was very reliable! She was able to add an extra visit on short notice. She even brought in a package that was on our doorstep. Our pups liked her too!”

With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.

About: I’ve been in the pet sitting industry for the last 6 years. Neighbors, friends and friends of friends have relied on me to watch their fur babies!
