“Ashley is wonderful at taking care of animals. I am a repeat customer of hers. She took care of both of my Siberian Huskies for 3 days. Both of my dogs love her, her children, and her home. I couldn't be more pleased with the care that she gives all the animals that she takes care of. I will for sure bring my dogs back to her again. Thank you Karen F.”
“Brian was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! I could not be anymore thankful for finding someone to cat sit for my Rose. He was extremely loving, caring, and attentive to her while making sure she was comfortable and adjusted. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future visits to watch Rose and recommend him to anyone!”
“Shekenia is amazing. My babies love her and they were well taken care of. The consistent updates and pictures were awesome. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies as if they were your own.”
“Reading Randi's bio alone was enough for me to feel comfortable reaching out and booking her for my Luna. Her communication and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I always had frequent updates and photos. I will 100% be boarding my Luna with her in the future. My Luna also rated her 5 paws 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little! I've always loved animals and wanted to take on the responsibility of caring for them. Whether this was my next door neighbors or my own, I was always up for the job! I own a mini horse (my 1 year old saint bernard), 1 inside only cat, and 2 outside cats. As for work, I am a fourth grade teacher and have the patience and enthusiasm to be the pet sitter you need. I am currently out for summer break as an elementary teacher. My schedule is very open and flexible. I will be home full time until mid August. Once I go back to work, I will still be able to board animals at my house. However, it is important for them to be crate trained as I plan to have them crated during the day - at least in the beginning. This will more than likely change as I get to know the animal more and how they interact with my animals! It's essential for the animals to feel safe in a place they are unfamiliar with and around animals they do not know! Please know that when I arrive home, they will receive plenty of enrichment through attention, daily walks, and play time with me or other dogs. I have a fenced in backyard that connects to another fenced in yard belonging to my parents and their two dogs. These areas are closed off unless I want the dogs to have some play time. All 3 dogs, including my own, are very sweet and get along well! Dog can be easily crated if needed, I own a large crate with a lot of room. As for your home, I will treat it like it's my own and love your pets like they are my own. Animals provide a nice change from the chaos that goes on in the everyday life of a teacher. I look forward to taking your fur baby on walks, providing enrichment, and cleaning litter boxes or other pet related needs!
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Madison took such great care of Indy. They went to the park and took several rides in the car!! Madison sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Indy had such a fun time with Madison and her pup Benji!!”
“The true test of a great Rover sitter is how tired my dog is after I pick him up! Ashley, her family, and her dogs did a great job of keeping Max busy while we were out of town. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of animals big and small, disability’s and special needs included, for many years. I am very flexible and a responsible young adult that would love to spend time with your pet regardless:) I’m currently working full time. I am a very aware and responsible person. I am responsive to unsettling situations without hesitation, and I know many things about an animal's body language and habits overall. I work every weekday 6am-2:30pm and I’m off every weekend. I go to church every Sunday but should be gone no more than 4 hours :) I try my best to establish and follow comfortable boundaries with pet parents and pets alike and I carefully follow instructions left to me to the best of my ability :)
About: I have had various experiences with dogs and cats. I grew up around animals. I have dog sit and cat sit for friends and families for multiple years now and am very reliable. I have let sit for large dogs that are in older age and needs special care. I have also pet sit for multiple pets at once. It was a small dog and 2 cats. We went in walks, had cuddles, and played games. We even got to play with some toys. I am currently on summer break from teaching and am completely free. As I am not teaching right now I am able to be flexible to your needs of your pets. Whether that is going for a walk or going outside to play. I have my own apartment and it is animal friendly. Due to this the environment is very safe and inviting. In my home it is very calm and clean. This is important just in case your pet has allergies. Since I don’t have any pets myself I am able to give lots of care and attention to your pets.
“Sam was truly amazing with my dog, Oscar. She always updated with pictures and provided insight into his mood, eating, and activities they did. Will definitely be rebooking with Sam!”
“Morgan took great care of my dog! She kept me up to date at all times and sent me many pictures as evidence that my dog was having a lot of fun! Whenever I need someone to care for my dog, Morgan will be the first on the list!”
About: I have always had a pet growing up. I used to have cats when I was little and then eventually turned to dogs. Currently back at home I have three dogs that I love so so so much. Here in Greenville I share custody of a dog, Saint, with my boyfriend. I love to walk so that is no problem for me when it comes to walking dogs. I also worked as an assistant for almost two years where one of my main priorities was taking care of her pitty :) I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open! I spend a lot of my time outside on walks, so it only makes sense that I open the door to including pets on my walk. I do stay in an apartment so I don't have yard space for pets, but I am willing to drive to dog parks or walking trails. I also don't mind going to other peoples home to care for their animals.

“Kristen took care of our babies while we were out of the country, she communicated very well throughout and was punctual. Everything I asked of her she did perfectly! She kept our cats fed and happy while we were gone, will definitely book her again!”
“Katlyn did a wonderful job with our babies. She was able to help us out on short notice, which was really appreciated. She seemed very knowledgeable about dealing with many different dog personalities and did really well dealing with Dakota, who is skittish around new people. I would definitely recommend Katlyn to watch your pets.”

I am currently looking for a part-time job, I will always be available on the weekends and I should be available in the mornings and late mornings almost every day. I have a big fenced-in backyard, and I own two friendly dogs and an indoor-outdoor cat that stays away from most people and other dogs who come to visit so there is no worry about him if you're worried about your animal around cats.

“Sam has been a phenomenal sitter! I had to reach out to her with very short notice and she had such a quick response. Even with the short notice, Sam was so eager to help me and take care of Max when she could. She kept me very updated of what was going on with max through messages and pictures several times each day. Sam has been great, I’d surely recommend her as I’ll be using her if I need a sitter again!”

About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in.

Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him.

“Cierra is the BEST! She was on time and punctual. Our pooch took to her very well. She shared photos of our pooch enjoying her walk! Absolutely would refer her and will be booking again soon. Thanks Rover, Cierra is Awesome!”
“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. From hand nursing, administration of medicine, to helping them recover after surgery. I love and respect animals and their owners. I want to provide any service I can to make a pet or owner’s day easier! I work part time from 2-6 on week days. Other than those hours, I will be able to commit every moment to your pups or cats. I have a fenced yard that is big enough for running laps, trees and plants to smell, and plenty of squirrels to entertain your dog. I have two loving pups of my own, a black lab and a 40lb rescue mixed breed. I can let them socialize or keep them separated up to your standards. My home is baby proofed for a 2 year old, so the dog can not get into anything that a toddler can’t! I have a large size crate available in my home for your convenience.

I currently work full-time during the week so will likely be morning and night. I am available all day on weekends. I can also do last minute bookings.

I am currently a senior at WCU, but I live here near Greenville and will be here for the whole summer, holidays, and most weekends! I’m currently self-employed and have a lot of extra time on my hands to help take some time off of yours! I have a very large backyard that is fenced in, all my dogs love to run around in it. My furr baby, Cherry, is crate trained and loves to spend most of her time inside!
About: I have been around dogs literally my whole life. I don't remember a time since I was born that I didn't have a dog. From sleeping on our pit bull as a toddler to rescuing a shelter baby to keep me company at college dogs have been an amazing part of my story. I'd even like to think that because of my fur babies I was more prepared to taken on the new journey of becoming a parent of an amazing little girl. Because of these experiences, I have learned many things about not only catering to a variety of personalities, but being creative in entertainment and time management. With these skills and all the added free time I have now that my daughter has started school I can assure you that not only will I be easily accessible for your needs, but I will make sure that you and your pet are sure to have a comfortable and enjoyable time using my services.
About: About Me: As a passionate pet lover and local animal advocate, I’ve dedicated my time to helping animals in my community.

Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I've taken care of large and small animals all my life, I grew up taking care of my aunt's horses with her, and I've pet sat and house sat for the past couple of years and have been very successful. I am no longer a college student so my schedule is way more open! I love all animals small or large! I am currently looking for a part-time job, I will always be available on the weekends and I should be available in the mornings and late mornings almost every day. I have a big fenced-in backyard, and I own two friendly dogs and an indoor-outdoor cat that stays away from most people and other dogs who come to visit so there is no worry about him if you're worried about your animal around cats.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs every since I was a child. From helping neighbors, friend and family care and love on their babies to owning my very own house full of fur babies. My husband and I foster cats and dogs with a handful of amazing rescues, we have been doing this for 5 years now and have accumulated a few “foster fails.” The last year we have primarily fostered newborn puppies or litters with mom included. Youngest animals I’ve cared for were 3 week old puppies and our oldest dog right now is 16 years young. I’m currently between travel assignments so I am home full time! I have a completely open and free schedule to help with your animals needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 pups to keep your dog company! All my dogs are up to date on vaccines, crate-trained, temperament tested, and socialized through day care. My house is also large enough where I have been able to section of an area as my foster dog/boarding area, that is completely separated from my dogs crates.
About: We live with two beautiful pups and grew up with both dogs, cats, and even horses and livestock. Our experience with all is plentiful. Pets especially love our friendly nature, kind voice, and active lifestyle for a robust playtime. My husband and I currently work remotely full time, which has given us the ability to pet-sit for friends and family locally and even in different states! When I lived in NYC I walked up to six dogs at a time for about a year. We have a fenced yard for playtime, a sidewalk and dog park for walks and playtime. There is no food or trash to accidentally get into as everything is made to be pet safe.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my entire life and have cared for them like my babies! I’m a nurse so I understand physiology and have cared for sick pets as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens. I currently work remotely so I have plenty of flexibility to travel and help you with your babies while you are away. Overnight stays any day of the week are no problem. I will take care of your baby in your own home so that they aren’t traumatized by a new place while missing you. My goal is to keep them in their same routines and environment so that they have a peaceful and low stress experience.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and enjoy knowing their personalities and spending time with them. Animals are very special! I work part time, so I’d be available to watch your animals, just about any time needed. I try my hardest to work with peoples schedule. Watching your dogs and attending their needs, I’d be bringing my son with me, he is almost a year old. If it is drop-ins I might can get someone to watch him but if it’s overnights he would be coming too. ❤️ Thank you for understanding my needs also. My dog is spoiled so I give him just about anything he wants. As I would do your animals, as well as follow whatever guidelines you may require.

“Ashley is wonderful at taking care of animals. I am a repeat customer of hers. She took care of both of my Siberian Huskies for 3 days. Both of my dogs love her, her children, and her home. I couldn't be more pleased with the care that she gives all the animals that she takes care of. I will for sure bring my dogs back to her again. Thank you Karen F.”
“Brian was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! I could not be anymore thankful for finding someone to cat sit for my Rose. He was extremely loving, caring, and attentive to her while making sure she was comfortable and adjusted. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future visits to watch Rose and recommend him to anyone!”
“Reading Randi's bio alone was enough for me to feel comfortable reaching out and booking her for my Luna. Her communication and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I always had frequent updates and photos. I will 100% be boarding my Luna with her in the future. My Luna also rated her 5 paws 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little! I've always loved animals and wanted to take on the responsibility of caring for them. Whether this was my next door neighbors or my own, I was always up for the job! I own a mini horse (my 1 year old saint bernard), 1 inside only cat, and 2 outside cats. As for work, I am a fourth grade teacher and have the patience and enthusiasm to be the pet sitter you need. I am currently out for summer break as an elementary teacher. My schedule is very open and flexible. I will be home full time until mid August. Once I go back to work, I will still be able to board animals at my house. However, it is important for them to be crate trained as I plan to have them crated during the day - at least in the beginning. This will more than likely change as I get to know the animal more and how they interact with my animals! It's essential for the animals to feel safe in a place they are unfamiliar with and around animals they do not know! Please know that when I arrive home, they will receive plenty of enrichment through attention, daily walks, and play time with me or other dogs. I have a fenced in backyard that connects to another fenced in yard belonging to my parents and their two dogs. These areas are closed off unless I want the dogs to have some play time. All 3 dogs, including my own, are very sweet and get along well! Dog can be easily crated if needed, I own a large crate with a lot of room. As for your home, I will treat it like it's my own and love your pets like they are my own. Animals provide a nice change from the chaos that goes on in the everyday life of a teacher. I look forward to taking your fur baby on walks, providing enrichment, and cleaning litter boxes or other pet related needs!
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Madison took such great care of Indy. They went to the park and took several rides in the car!! Madison sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Indy had such a fun time with Madison and her pup Benji!!”
“The true test of a great Rover sitter is how tired my dog is after I pick him up! Ashley, her family, and her dogs did a great job of keeping Max busy while we were out of town. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of animals big and small, disability’s and special needs included, for many years. I am very flexible and a responsible young adult that would love to spend time with your pet regardless:) I’m currently working full time. I am a very aware and responsible person. I am responsive to unsettling situations without hesitation, and I know many things about an animal's body language and habits overall. I work every weekday 6am-2:30pm and I’m off every weekend. I go to church every Sunday but should be gone no more than 4 hours :) I try my best to establish and follow comfortable boundaries with pet parents and pets alike and I carefully follow instructions left to me to the best of my ability :)
About: I have had various experiences with dogs and cats. I grew up around animals. I have dog sit and cat sit for friends and families for multiple years now and am very reliable. I have let sit for large dogs that are in older age and needs special care. I have also pet sit for multiple pets at once. It was a small dog and 2 cats. We went in walks, had cuddles, and played games. We even got to play with some toys. I am currently on summer break from teaching and am completely free. As I am not teaching right now I am able to be flexible to your needs of your pets. Whether that is going for a walk or going outside to play. I have my own apartment and it is animal friendly. Due to this the environment is very safe and inviting. In my home it is very calm and clean. This is important just in case your pet has allergies. Since I don’t have any pets myself I am able to give lots of care and attention to your pets.
