“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!”
“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!”
“Lindsey's care was excellent. Great communicator. My dogs were pleasantly stressless upon my return. Loved the pictures she sent daily. I will employee her services again in the future. I highly recommend Lindsey for in home care.”
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: I have always had animals growing up - dogs & cats. I love to take dogs outside on walks & play with them whenever need be. I also love cats as well & currently own four of my own. I am very responsible and caring of any animal, and I would love to take care of your animal! I currently work full time as an occupational therapist. I started doing Rover while in graduate school and loved it! Although I am more busy with work these days, I still love to watch animals whenever I get the chance on the weekends. Disclaimer for house sitting: As much as I love watching your animals, I also need to be able to run errands. While I will ensure your animals are well taken care of…if you animal cannot tolerate being left alone for 4-5 hours during the day I kindly ask you request somebody else. Thank you! I take directions very well & will do anything necessary to ensure your animal is well cared for and safe. I understand that each pet is different, so I take this into consideration into pet sitting any animal. Just tell me your expectations & I will make sure to meet them!
“Kylie was great taking on my two big energetic pointers. They can be a lot to handle when they have been cooped up all day and she said they were sweet and good girls :). Appreciate her!”
About: I've had animals of all kinds my whole life. I have a passion for caring for all the fur babies. Animals make the world a better place. They are my heart!

I am available anytime for full time care for your pet at my home. My calendar is frequently updated. I am also available for drop ins as well as needed. I have a fenced yard and can crate if needed. In your home, I am able to play inside or outside. I can walk your pet if needed. I am here for whatever your pet needs.

About: I have grown up in a household full of animals. I’ve always been the kid to stop and help an animal. I love watching animals aswell as trying to teach them tricks !

Weekends would preferably work better but I can work with you ! I currently do not accept at home sitting due to me not owning my own house. However when I get my own place I will !

I’ve never had a pet, cat or dog, but my home remains clean and well maintained. Very air sufficient as well. There is no negligence in my home. Whenever I’ve pet sat for family, I follow through with the instructions and notes given to me to treat their pets needs. Frequent updates are always made. The home is always how they left it if not better and the fur baby is well taken cared of.
About: I’ve had animals all my life, from snakes to dogs, bunnies to tortoises, even an axolotl! My love for animals is never ending. I will cherish yours as my own. I am currently not working right now so i’m available for pet sitting 24/7!! Dog walking as well!! I unfortunately do not do dog sitting at my house as my own dog is very skiddish but maybe in the future! I am the primary caretaker of my family dog. I take him for walks around the park daily as well as petco/petsmart runs for new toys that he doesn’t need lol! I did work in a boarding/daycare place for a couple months where we cared for those animals like no other! I often come to family members houses to walk their dogs and/or dog sit if they need me to. I am very flexible with whatever you need, i’m here to make you & your pup happy.
About: I have experience taking care of a Doberman in the past for 2 years. I’m very familiar with homes with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I’ve also volunteered to walk dogs at a local shelter. I work full time Monday through Friday so the best time for me is the weekend. You can go on your weekend getaway with a peace of mind. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I will follow all owner instructions carefully, prioritize each pet’s comfort and security, and ensure constant supervision and responsible care.
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!

About: I provide attentive care for young pets with supervision and play, and gentle, patient care for senior pets, including routines, medications, and comfort. I’ve cared for my childhood dog through her senior years, which taught me patience, consistency, and dedication. Pet care would fit into my routine by making it a priority alongside my part-time job. I’d make sure to set aside time each day for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins so pets get consistent care and attention. I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs, especially for senior dogs who may need extra care. I provide care based on each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel safe in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm, clean space with plenty of attention, supervision, and structured care. I’m especially mindful of senior pets, making sure they stay comfortable, stick to routines, and get any needed medications.
Sumter pet parents share their Rover experiences
BETHANY WAS AWESOME!!! She was on time and very attentive. She communicated daily with each visit and included pictures. She went above and beyond to care for lacy and our home, she did everything that was asked and then some. She's an awesome sitter and we'd highly recommend her.
Robert continues to be an exceptional sitter, and this visit was a perfect example of why we trust him with our pets. What could have been a very stressful stay included both a dog escape and a cat scratch, yet Robert handled everything calmly, professionally, and with grace. His communication throughout the entire situation was outstanding. He kept us informed, acted quickly when our dog made an unexpected adventure out of the yard, and managed the challenges without ever making us feel panicked. He was transparent, responsible, and focused on keeping everyone safe. Things don’t always go according to plan when caring for animals, and it’s during those moments that a sitter’s character really shows. Robert demonstrated exactly the kind of judgment, reliability, and dedication we look for. We’re grateful for the care he provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.
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!!!
