“We feel so lucky to have found Charlene. Our two dogs instantly took to Charlene at the meet and greet and gave her lots of kisses. We felt totally at ease leaving our dogs with her . Our one dog was very nervous the first day and had an upset stomach and Charlene and her husband took extra good care of her and kept me updated on her and my other dog . Both her and her husband let our dogs sleep right next to them . When we pulled up to pick our dogs up our one dog was cuddled right next to Charlene giving her kisses . We can’t thank you and your husband enough for taking such good care of our babies . It is such a relief to us to have found such a wonderful sitter and will definitely always have you watch our babies . Thanks a million for the great care you gave our dogs Donna N and Frank”
“Steve was super, our Samantha was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. II know she can be a handful and he treated her like she was one of his own. I would definitely recommend him.”
“We highly recommend Amy! Amy was very welcoming and listened to my concerns at drop off. We were able to relax and enjoy our visit with family knowing that our girls were being so well cared for. We got pictures and updates daily and could see that the girls were having a good time. We will definitely contact Amy next time we come out this way.”
“Mary is fantastic....she is an excellent communicator and great to work with. She took wonderful care of Bailey, sending us pictures and updates daily....we cannot say enough about her care of her clients, both four- and two-legged.”
“Bee was a great sitter! She always responded right away when coordinating pickup and drop-off and I felt very comfortable leaving my 1-year old terrier with her. My pup had time playing with her dog in their yard and was completely relaxed and happy when I got him back. It was so helpful having someone I could trust for this last-minute overnight stay.”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”

About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between. Family, Friends, Neighbors, Co-Workers and Clients have relied on me to care for their furry family members & I’ve had furry family members of my own my whole life. I have worked with all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with pets with disabilities or medical needs. For the past 16years I’ve cared for people with disabilities as a Direct Support Professional.

Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“Fantastic -- Constant, clear communication before and during the stay. Very caring and very knowledgeable, as well as sensitive to our dog's specifics. So fortunate to have met Eileen and Ricky -- a tremendous relief to have such great care for the smoosh!”

About: I would love to care for your animals! I own a boxer named Buddy, and he is very friendly and loves animals of all shapes and sizes. I am also a Wag!

“Sammi was absolutely incredible with my cats. She went above and beyond for them — she kept me updated every step of the way and did everything she could to ensure my cats were comfortable. She truly cares about their needs; of course this is a job, but I could tell she put effort and love into watching my babies. I’d recommend her to anybody!!!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and helped train them when they were puppies. I have 1 dog and a cat right now, and love playing with, walking them, and cuddling. I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years and as a pet groomer for under 1 year, and I also earned my Dog Training Certification through Animal Behavior College. I adore pets and always have, and I strive to make any pets day the best with whatever they need! I currently go to school and work part-time. Working part time allows me to have more time to play with your dogs. I am able to spend time with your pups on Mondays and Wednesdays anytime 12pm or after. Along with Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at any time! The first thing I will always do with your pups is let them get to know me by letting them set the course of our greeting, if they are shy we go slower. Whatever the dog needs is my number one priority along with keeping the Pet Parent informed. I will always be attentive when watching your pup in your home, and if there is medication that needs to be administered I can do so properly with the exception of needles/shots.
“Colleen checked in on my cats while I was out of town. She refilled food and water supply, and changed the waste bin for the automated litter box. She gave me photo updates of my cats greeting her at the door. I appreciated her services and would book again for whenever I am out of town.”
“Maddy did an amazing job and went above and beyond in watching my 2 bunnies. She sent great updates, cute photos, and seemed like she genuinely cared about providing a great service. Will definitely book Maddy again!”
“Kari did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Marlo while I was away for a month. She left everything tidy so when I returned I didn’t have any cleanup to do. I really appreciated that. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats my whole life. My partner and I have had our lovely senior cat, pictured above, for over 2 years now. He’s a senior with chronic ear infections and needs special biweekly ear cleaning. I love taking care of all cats, and I know how special our older friends are. I am comfortable with medical care and all the love and cleaning that comes with taking care of cats.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 30years. Began as my own pets and have continued over the years as fosters, rescues, and furry friends. I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, and any medical needs or disabilities. Have experience from bottle fed babies to seniors. Can care for your feline friends in their homes (because as a cat owner I know it’s really their house😹) or if they enjoy walks, I am experienced with that too!
“Helayna seemed very responsible and genuinely loves animals. However, prior to booking when I asked, she failed to honestly disclose how many pets she currently had in her household already. I was under the impression our easily-stressed out cat would be in a quiet home when that was not the case at all.”
“Kara was on time for the meet and greet. She was engaging and showed genuine interest when we were talking. She has a quick smile which I liked. She got to meet Smoky but Joey was hiding under the bed because it was raining really hard and he hates the rain. It was a very positive meeting and we booked for Easter weekend. Gail”
About: With over 18+ years of experience as a dedicated pet owner, I treat every animal as part of the family. From playful puppies to senior pets, I provide attentive care tailored to their needs. You can count on reliable service, regular updates, and a loving touch for your furry companion while you’re away. Your pets happiness and well-being are my priority! As a full-time special education, teacher and mother of two, I’m available for daytime pet care on holidays and weekends. While my teaching hours limit morning and afternoon availability during the week, I ensure flexible and reliable care during my free time to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a tentative and loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home, ensuring their routine stays consistent. This includes feeding, refreshing water, walks or playtime, administering medicines (if needed), and cleaning up after them. I also offer plenty of affection and keep you updated with regular check-in and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Grace came to watch Bax with very short notice which took a lot of weight off my shoulders. She is caring , followed my instructions and Baxter seems very relaxed with her. I will be using her services again.”
About: I grew up with a cat and have owned my own for about 2 1/2 years. One of my cats is highly energetic and struggles with anxiety so for any of your pets that need daily medications, I have plenty of experience administering oral medications. I also know that finding a sitter that I trust with my furbabies can be difficult, especially if they’ve only ever worked with dogs. Cats have their own unique needs and language. You want someone who can understand that and having my own kitties gives me that perspective. If you have any questions about how I can meet your cat care needs, please reach out!
“DelilahaLynn Was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my elderly cat and sent me wonderful pictures of him. Our trip ended up being extended, and she absolutely had no problem with taking care of him for a few more days. I will absolutely book her again when I go on my next trip. I believe you can trust your fur babies in her care.”

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on animal care experience, including running my own dog walking business for 2 years and ongoing work in farm animal rescue. I had two dogs of my own for over 15 years and have cared for many rescue dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and especially comfortable with shy, nervous, or high-energy dogs. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while they’re in my care. I do have cats in my home, so dogs staying with me should be cat-friendly. References are available upon request. “Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work part-time overnight, which means I’m home and available throughout the day for walks, supervision, and consistent care. I also run a nonprofit animal rescue from my home, so caring for animals is something I’m actively doing every day. My routine is built around feeding schedules, exercise, cleaning, and making sure each animal gets individual attention. Because of this, I’m very used to managing different needs while keeping a calm, structured environment.” depends on each pet’s routine and comfort level, but I always aim to keep things as consistent and low-stress as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Dogs get daily walks, enrichment, and individual attention. I take introductions slowly and make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed—while also keeping your home clean and respected. I pay attention to behavior and body language and adjust care based on what each pet needs. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs
“This was my dog's first time with a Rover sitter. Lorinda did her best to get him settled. She understood he was not wanting to be social. She got her chair and stayed by him while he was in her fenced area. Couldn't ask for more.”
About: ** I took a break from Rover, but I’m happy to be back and excited to offer pet care again! (Est. Jan ‘26) 🐾✨ I bring over 5 years of hands-on experience from working at a local dog daycare, caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m by no means a trainer, but have worked with one, and am comfortable training puppies on basic commands and have experience providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs as well. I treat every dog like my own and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, so caring for animals is already built into my routine. I also currently have a crew of my own — 3 dogs (just welcomed a puppy in Dec. 2025) & have a flock of 24 chickens! As I continue using Rover, I’m excited to grow this into something more consistent, with the goal of potentially offering pet care full time in the future. Animals truly are a big part of my everyday life 🖤🐾 I’m able to be home and present, so pets get lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I also have dogs who do great with other dogs, which can be a fun and positive socialization experience when it’s a good fit.

My goal is always to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”
“Allawr took great care of our dog aura during a two night stay at her home. Allawr gave us plenty of updates, pictures, and was quick with communication. Aura made friends with her sweet pup, mellow, and did not want to leave. We definitely recommend Allawr for dog sitting!”
“Nicole did such a nice job with our Tilly! Nicole communicated well and is very knowledgeable which put me at ease. I felt very comfortable having Tilly stay with her, she came home happy and tired out after a day of play. Will definitely book with Nicole again!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues.

I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.

“Maddy went above and beyond for us. We were travelling and she was kind enough to take our dogs for a walk and feed them from our hotel room while we enjoyed the NASCAR race. Maddy was very responsive and made us feel our dogs were in very good hands. I highly recommend Maddy and her exceptional services. The dogs give high paws!!”

About: I have senior dog experience and puppy patience. Animals of all types are my preferred friends. I'm an expert at cat and dog kisses. I love to be able to help families with their furry children's needs. In the winter up until April I'm available all day everyday. A few days notice is all I need to help you have someone safe to care for your pets. On my available days i can stop in at anytime of the day for walks or whatever else is needed. I'm here to make your animals safe and happy.
About: Walks every 2-3 hours playtime feedings and bathing if necessary can help with training puppies like potty training or just commands if needed.. will provide the supplies for potty training Pet care fits in well, I don't work and the only time I won't be able to accept a request is if I have a appointment I don't have pets anymore but I used to feed them take on good walks and have play time I live in a gated community so leash will be required unless the owner says it's good with commands
“Colleen is excellent. She took great care of my puppy. She noticed a sore/ hotspot and arranged for us to get in to see her vet the same day and even volunteered to take him if my schedule didn’t allow.”
About: Starting from a young age I knew I needed to be a pet care provider. Starting in high school I worked at several barns providing care for various livestock and companion animal species alike. While I love our livestock, I find more fulfillment in helping our household pets. I’m currently working on an animal care and behavior degree, and work at an animal hospital. I have experience in giving oral medications (to both dogs and cats) as well as subcutaneous fluids. I’ve managed several complex medication plans and understand how important a regular routine is for our pets. If you think we would be a good fit please reach out with any questions you may have. I do work full-time during work days, however, I can accommodate your pets needs during the day as long as we have clear communication. Aside from my full time work schedule, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets get the highest quality of care possible. Every pet is different! What works for one animal may throw your own pet into a panic and I’m here to make sure we can create a routine for your pet that makes them the most comfortable when you can’t be there. If your dog needs outside time and you don’t have a yard, let’s find the closest park or walking trail! Do your pets become anxious over night? I’ll be there to snuggle their worries away and provide all the pepperoni and churu they could ask for. Whatever your pets needs are, we’ll have an open line for communication throughout their time with me to ensure both you and them are happy.
About: I’m a reliable and experienced dog caregiver who’s comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I currently have a 122-pound chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with handling large, strong dogs, as well as smaller breeds. I believe every dog deserves exercise, attention, and care tailored to their personality and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, trail runs, or playtime at the park, I make sure dogs stay active, healthy, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on making sure dogs feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated like family—with plenty of exercise, affection, and fun. With the summer off from my full-time job, I have a flexible schedule and am available from early morning to early evening, unless discussed differently. If your dog is staying at my house I’d like to have my dog meet yours to see how they interact together. My dog is very friendly and good with other animals. I do have a crate if needed in my house.
“Erin was great with Baxter - he loved going on walks with her! Erin is easy to work with and is good at responding to questions and changes in schedule. She’s very friendly and responsible! We’ll definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting alone for about 8 years now! Friends, neighbors, and other folks have relied on me to feed and walk their pets as well as house sit. I’ve worked with cats, dogs, almost all domestic farm species, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. I’ve just graduated UVM with an Animal Science degree, where I’ve taken helpful classes such as Intro To Exotic Pet Care class and Canine Behavior where I trained local shelter dogs. Through my studies, I’ve learned about nutrition, anatomy, welfare, husbandry, and diseases/ailments for many species. I’ve worked with a lot of senior animals who have a variety of backgrounds at a farm sanctuary, so I’m comfortable working with pets with special needs. I’ve also been working as an ICH Tech at an equine clinic so I am comfortable with medications such as injections as well. I love talking about my experience and am happy to answer any questions people may have! I love going for walks and hiking! The outdoors are so beautiful and even more lovely when you get to share them with a pet. Early morning walks are my personal favorite. Pet visits also work well in my schedule. I don't mind stopping by to let a pet out, feed, clean, and provide enrichment. I love reading and am happy to hang out with pets outside while I do so. Clear communication and meeting the needs of the client are the most important pieces to pet care to me. I like to take notes about expectations and routines, such as feeding or play time, that way I can provide pets with the most consistency and familiarity I can. I like to update folks about their pets by sending photos and messages. And I keep my phone nearby with notifications on throughout my time so that I am available if folks have any questions, concerns, or are just missing their pet and would like a picture!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 16. I work for Charleston Animal Society. Examples of care; walking them, to giving them medicine (if needed), feeding them, making sure they have water, don’t overheat, have basically everything they need as they are with me, to having them for sleep overs, and staying with them for however long was needed. Animals are my top priority. At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
About: I am a lover of all pets and have experience ranging from stopping by for bathroom breaks/feeding to overnight house sitting. I have been relied on to walk, feed, and give medication to cats and dogs. I am comfortable with all size pets. I am a young adult with no children and work 8am-4pm, Monday-Friday. I am able to work from home once and month and around the holidays from September to mid-May. I work from home once a week in the summer months. I am also able to leave for lunch so I can easily pop over on my lunch break. After work, I usually just relax and go to the gym so, I would love to be accompanied by your pet! Unfortunately, someone in my household has a pet allergy, but I am more than to stay at the caregiver’s home where the pet is more comfortable. I will follow and comply to any care instructions. I respect others’ spaces and belongings and will leave your home exactly as you left it, if not cleaner (I love cleaning). I have been trusted in others home’s before and understand the significance of that trust. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away and I am happy to accommodate all needs to do so! I love cuddles and will play with them. I realize an owner’s absence is usually stressful for pets, and both you and your pet should feel like they’re in good hands! I don’t have a pet of my own, so I will love and give them all the attention they need (:
About: Animals and nature have been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been exposed to, and well acquainted to a variety of animals, including fish, rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a baby squirrel rescue! I am also a volunteer dog walker at my local shelter, which is my therapy and brings me great happiness. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were eight weeks old. They are my entire world. I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs. I am with my dogs all day everyday. They get all of my love and attention. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks. Cleanliness and order is my main priority as I value a clean and tidy home. I have fresh water out all day and I feed them twice a day. My dogs get a specialized high end kibble which I supplement with fresh meat, organ, eggs, fruits, veggies, goats milk, coconut oil, bone broth, salmon oil, turmeric and a daily vitamin. I wash my dogs as needed or every two weeks. I brush their teeth, fur, and clip their nails weekly as well. I only have high quality chew bones and other toys available that don’t pose a risk as my dogs are heavy chewers.
