About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 11/12 years old. I have a strong love for fur babies and find it very easy to connect with them. I’m no dog whisperer (maybe lol) but I do feel that I have a sixth sense that helps me to understand their needs without verbal communication to help for a smoother experience. I am currently working full time from home so I have unlimited availability and the flexibility needed to work with each and every pets needs. I currently live in an apartment that is very pet friendly. We have huge fields all around the buildings for running and playing. I do have a small dog and cat myself perfect for keeping your pets company. Both pets are dog/cat friendly and would love to share our home with tour fur babies!!

About: As a dedicated pet owner and experienced caregiver, I understand that pets are family. Choosing someone to care for them requires trust, and I strive to provide every pet and owner with reliability, professionalism, and peace of mind. I have experience caring for animals through both personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, playtime, and attending to their daily needs. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have completed training and certifications in several areas of pet care, including: • Dog Psychology • Dog Training Basics • Dog and Cat First Aid Care and Maintenance • Preventing Pet Poisoning from Household Products • Recognizing Early Signs of Cancer in Pets • Understanding Heartworms and Chagas Disease • Understanding Why Cats Stop Using the Litter Box As a pet owner myself, I care for my dog, Titan, and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels, and I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Your pet’s safety is always a top priority. I maintain a pet-friendly environment by keeping spaces clean and free of hazards, securing off-limit areas, and ensuring potentially harmful items remain out of reach. Please let me know about any special instructions, medical needs, routines, fears, or favorite activities your pet may have. The more I know, the better I can provide the personalized care they deserve. I look forward to caring for your furry family members and giving you confidence that they’re in trustworthy, capable, and compassionate hands. Reliable. Certified. Experienced. Caring for your pets like they’re my own. I care for my Titan. We play and I walk him everyday. I am very caring, loving, and gentle with him. I also groom him. He is a also a certified ESA. We work diligently everyday to refine his behavior and I am very patient with the process. I close the doors to rooms they shouldn’t go in. I don’t leave cords lying around or other potentially harmful things to pets. I keep the floors clear of items and clean.
“Lexi’s was an absolute gem taking in my Brownie last minute. I’m so grateful for her. I’m based in California but my family is taking care of him for me so having someone like Lexis that was so welcoming and so great at updating me made me feel so at ease. It’s a blessing to have people like her, someone you can trust with your fur baby 🤗 Thank you for taking care of my Brownie. I absolutely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart 🫶🏾”
“Brandi did a great job with Rocky. It was his first time with a sitter and I was very apprehensive about how well he would settle in. He ate, pottied, played, napped and had a good time. Brandi communicated throughout the day and really made me feel more comfortable that she was taking good care of him. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Brandi.”
“Mrs. Chelly and Mr. Joe are an absolute pleasure to be with! I can already tell that they are going to provide continuous top level care for my puppy while she’s with them. Absolutely going to be taking her back. Thank you Mrs. Chelly and Mr. Joe! I’ll be seeing y’all again very soon!”

About: I have taken care of various dog breeds of all ages since I was 11 years old. I also plenty of experience with cats, I currently have a cat and small dog of my own so I know what it takes to care for pets and will treat your pets as my own and give them the love care and attention you would. I currently do not work so I have a very flexible schedule, I do have a grade school child but am completely free weekdays from 9am-2pm. Weekends my schedule is also very flexible but will have a little less time available due to dedicating time with my child. Overall I am very flexible and willing to work around both our schedules and needs. I am very trustworthy and will respect the privacy of your home and family while present. I will provide a safe environment and companionship, play time, or any care necessary for your pets.

About: I have had dogs since 2013. I had three, I currently have two. One of them had epilepsy, this gave me experience with seizures and administering medicine. I also worked at a doggy day care for 1 year, there I cared for large groups of dogs. We fed them, changed out water 4-5 times a day, picked up after them and played with them. I'm knowledgeable about dog behavior and how to avoid situations that would be harmful. I know to test the pavement heat before a walk on hot days. I'm currently seeking steady employment but am wanting to make this my steady job. I'm available during the week from six am to 5 pm I'm currently unable to pet sit in my home. I'm more than happy to pet sit in the dogs/cats home that makes the pets more comfortable as well since it's not a strange house with strange smells. I'm more than happy to drop in or stay for awhile. I enjoy taking walks and it's always good to have a friend (your pet) with me.
About: I've taken care of a bit of everything except birds. I've had dogs my entire life with the occasional cat or set of rats and would love to meet as many more as I can! I'm a stay-at-home husband whose life centers around his five dogs. Expect play, treats, and a welcoming environment all-around any day of the week. I have a fenced backyard with cameras that alert with motion. Dogs go outside frequently and will never not have a toy available for all.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve also been working professionally in the pet care industry for years. I have a long term career goal of becoming a dog groomer! I’m currently available most days as I don’t work outside of rover as of now, I will be transitioning into a new job here shortly. I am skilled in dog behavior, no matter the environment! I know how to facilitate play time between multiple dogs. I hold safety, fun, and cleanliness to a high standard.
About: I grew up with dogs and had a special bond with my family’s dog in college. She loved when I would take her on an “interval run.” I recently successfully fed my friend’s five dogs. Please, I would love to meet your dog(s) with you there to get to know them first. I am officially insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates in case of an inopportune incident taking place while my clients’ pets and homes are in my care. Insurance certificate available upon request if we move forward with a meet-and-greet. I work full-time 8 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. I don’t mind getting up early to check on your fur baby. I work in the 30904 zip code, so I could potentially check on them during my hourlong lunch break if you live close enough. I work to ensure that a pet who is not allowed outside a certain door stays inside. When I fed my friend’s five dogs a couple of months ago, I was told one was an escape artist, but I successfully left out of the front door without her getting out. Please let me know what command words your pet is familiar with.
“Was in a slight pinch on time, but thankfully Zaylie was available and fit my girl Donna into her schedule! She came back exhausted every night she went out for a walk. Really enjoyed her punctuality, attitude and overall nice person to work with! Definitely will be booking again :)”
“Ana is an absolute blessing! She has been walking my dog every week day afternoon for several months now and she has been the best walker he has ever had! She is incredibly kind, dependable, and communicative. She goes above and beyond! My pup loves his toys so she always plays with him in addition to taking him on a long walk and giving him his medicine on time every day! I never worry about my baby when she is with him because I know she will love him like her own!”
About: I’ve always loved pets and growing up my parents never allowed me to get any so when I was able to move out i immediately went and got me a little puppy (lab) from a shelter that I’ve been volunteering at and every since then Mia have been the light of my life!. My friends always rely on me to dog sit for them or just to come over and let them out for a potty break. I’m currently work full time at Allstate M-F and I recently graduated from university of South Carolina Aiken. Because I’m full time throughout the week and off every weekend, I wanted to make money doing something I love and that’s when I came across rover. I am free every weekend to dog sit/dog walks/ few drops in per day if that’s something you need while away or gone for a long period of time during the day I currently only have 1 dog and her name is Mia! She’s the sweetest/ friendliest puppy ever! She will make your fur baby feel right at home with her smile and energy.

About: I have many years of experience walking and caring for dogs, and I have had dogs my entire life, so understanding their needs comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I have cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including energetic dogs that need long walks and playful time, as well as calm or senior dogs that need patience and gentle care. I am experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, fresh water, playtime, basic grooming needs, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and safe in their environment.

I keep a clean, calm environment and always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
