“My pets & I love Courtney! We book every single time when we go on little trips. She is trustworthy, punctual & definitely an animal lover. We appreciate her help soo much !”

“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!”

“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!”


“Could not be happier with Jacqueline!! Received pictures and videos during each visit and maintained great communication the whole time. I will definitely use her again!!”

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 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 ! I am a babysitter and figured this could also be a fun task with something i enjoy doing as a broke college student. Feel free to reach out and contact me for more information ! 🩷 I’m currently a freshmen in college but can work with your schedule as long as you can work with mine ! 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 can crate or take them out whenever is needed
“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 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 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.
“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!”

About: As a dedicated animal lover with a family legacy of operating three successful boarding and grooming kennels in Maryland, I am passionate about providing exceptional animal care. With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. 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 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!
“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!”
