“I really do appreciate Nick! He always comes through when it comes to Mateo. I recently had surgery and had to come back down to Columbia, and he was able to take Mateo for me so I could have some time to adjust to my recovery. I’m forever grateful for him! He communicates so well, sends pictures, keeps you updated, and always lets you know what’s going on. He’s truly everything you could want in someone taking care of your dog, and I always feel comfortable knowing Mateo is with him.”

“Kathy was an amazing dog sitter! Chloe has anxiety and doesn't do well in a crate, but Kathy took extra time and care to make sure she felt comfortable and adjusted during her stay. She sent daily videos and updates, which gave me peace of mind, and was always quick to respond to messages. It was so nice seeing Chloe having fun and playing with the other dogs in the backyard! I really appreciate the care and attention Kathy gave Chloe and would absolutely trust her to watch Chloe again. Highly recommend!”

“I had a weekend trip planned and my plans for my two dogs fell through. I really am not a fan of traditional boarding and nor are my dogs. I decided to give this app a try since I have heard positive things. I came across Raquel’s profile and so happy that I did. She quickly responded to me and was very flexible and accommodating. She sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay and I swear one of my dogs looked like she was smiling in the picture lol! They were both so happy and comfortable. I could tell they felt safe and were enjoying themselves. And I could tell that Raquel has a genuine love for what she does. As a dog parent, I want my dogs to be in a safe and fun loving environment and that’s what she provided.”

“Our trusted pet sitter informed us last minute that she was unable to care for our family dog. With an international trip approaching, I felt a tinge of desperation. Out of options, I found Rover. Shifting through the many profiles, my anxieties about enlisting the help of someone I had not met were quickly quieted upon reading the countless positive reviews left for Niagara. From the beginning communications until pick up, she was accommodating, courteous, and quick to respond. From the moment we dropped off until the day we picked up, we received daily updates and affirmations of our sweet Breezy. This included what I like to call “proof of life” pictures and videos, which were really more than that. They showed how well cared for he was and how happy and content he remained in her care. As someone that has been very peculiar and selective about who cares for our family dog, I don’t feel that five stars is even enough for Niagara. I can’t recommend her enough and I would be honored to secure her services in the future!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. My cat Chanel has been with me for 5 years and my cocker spaniel Bentley for 1 year. I’ll treat your pets like my own with plenty of walks, cuddles, and love. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your fur babies and I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am able to go home throughout the day and check on your pet if I’m not already home. I am usually home all weekend and if not then your pet is welcome to join my activities! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment community with three dog parks, giving plenty of safe space to run and play. I’ll always keep a close eye on them, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for in a secure environment.

About: I have grown up with and owned cats and dogs all of my life, I absolutely love cats and dogs, all animals for that matter. So in case you have another animal as well as the dogs, I am totally and completely willing to watch and take care of them as well. I am very good with instructions on how to take care of them in a certain way if you please. I will show them so much love and compassion, I will snuggle with them, and play with them until they’re satisfied or have no more energy left. I always make sure they go outside for potty breaks every so often. I will always make sure they are fed enough and if so fed the amount the owner desires. I will also make sure they get plenty of walks and exercise.

About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I work from home full-time, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel like a home away from home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I'll be available all day to supervise and care for your pet. We'll enjoy playtime throughout the day, along with morning and evening walks, weather permitting. I have a fenced-in yard and a 6-year-old female American Staffy named Lilly. Lilly is very social and gets along great with other dogs and even cats.

“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Hello. I have extensive experience with a variety of animals. As a child I rescued stray cats, dogs, and different wildlife. I've had cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, domesticated rats...literally everything. I currently have 4 rescued ducks, 2 rescued turtles, turkeys and 4 baby tortoises (inside). I have a fenced in yard and numerous references. I do have 4 small kids. I work from home. If a pet is skittish around children, I keep them in my room so there is calmness. I also have a completely seperate room that can be used if they prefer even less human contact. ***PLEASE send a collar and leash when boarding a dog I work from home so your pup would have constant attention as they'd be hanging out with me. I do have a fenced in backyard (it has my outdoor animals it in). If the pup isnt good around farm animal, potty breaks can be on a leash in my front yard I have a fenced in backyard. I am okay with a dog that sleeps in a cage overnight...or not. There's definitely flexibility there if the dog isnt destructive. I will ensure the pup is comfortable and entertained.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve grown up with just about every type of animal from small to large, I’ve worked at dog rehabilitation centers, I’ve been a dog groomer for over 12 years (still grooming out of my home) I’ve worked as a vet tech in multiple veterinary clinics as well. I’m a professional groomer that works from home, my kiddos do home school, so my daily routine is usually about the same lol I groom just about every day, and also occasionally board for my long term clients With me working from home and having my kiddos home, I would absolutely prefer your pet to be dropped off and picked up, your pet will have the opportunity to play with my personal dogs, get to go outside plenty of times and also have that human interaction as well rather then being in a kennel/run for hours on end before getting let out to go potty.

Communicated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures. Clean house and even went extra the before Cooper came over to make sure any small things were picked up off the floor since he’s a puppy and puts everything in his mouth. Her kids were an absolutely delight for Cooper to play with. Will definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi! I recently relocated to Columbia and am excited to continue doing something I’ve always loved -caring for dogs! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs and pups who may need a little extra patience and attention. I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your dog with, and I’ll always care for your pup like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas and French Bulldogs to Labs and German Shepherds. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know each pup and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while they’re away from their family. We have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for pups to safely run, play, or relax outside and enjoy some sunshine. We also love going on walks, exploring Columbia, and spending time outdoors. Since we have a little one at home, we’re especially mindful about creating a calm, safe, and happy environment for both our guests and our family. We welcome friendly, social pups who are comfortable being around children. We’re happy to chat about your dog’s personality, routine, and needs ahead of time to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. ❤️ I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur baby, and I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. Whether your pup wants to play, go for walks, enjoy some backyard time, or curl up for a good cuddle, I’m happy to give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and welcome them into our family! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be around throughout the day and give your pup plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure they get their walks, playtime, and lots of company, and that they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! We have a fenced-in yard, a friendly Aussiedoodle, and a toddler, so we welcome friendly, social dogs who are comfortable around children. Every pup is treated like one of our own! 🐾❤️

About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and have taken every opportunity to care for and support them. Over the years, I have provided reliable dog and cat sitting services, working with a variety of breeds and sizes. Growing up in a home that always included pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and a natural ability to care for them with patience, attention, and love. I would love the opportunity to provide your furry companion with the love, care, and happiness they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently available at a variety of times. With clear communication regarding dates and times needed, I will be able to promptly confirm my availability and ensure I can meet your scheduling needs. Every animal is unique, and I tailor care routines to best fit each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I believe clear communication is key to creating the perfect care plan for your furry companion. I always prioritize dedicated playtime and, depending on the pet, provide walks and outdoor time to keep them happy and active. I am highly flexible and committed to meeting the specific needs of every animal in my care.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all of my life, I absolutely love cats and dogs, all animals for that matter. So in case you have another animal as well as the dogs, I am totally and completely willing to watch and take care of them as well. I am very good with instructions on how to take care of them in a certain way if you please. I will show them so much love and compassion, I will snuggle with them, and play with them until they’re satisfied or have no more energy left. I always make sure they go outside for potty breaks every so often. I will always make sure they are fed enough and if so fed the amount the owner desires. I will also make sure they get plenty of walks and exercise. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! I’m available on weekends and weekdays! I am the proud pet owner of a three-year-old German Shepherd and two cats one 8 year-old and one 2 year-old. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life so I know how to keep them entertained and loved as much as they need!

“Brianna is amazing! She goes above and beyond whilst taking care of your pets. My pet Samantha recently got out before Brianna was scheduled to walk Samantha. She immediately notified me that my puppy was out and after walking her made sure to lock her cage up properly to last until I got home! Brianna also went through my whole apartment with me in detail to make sure Samantha ( my puppy) didn’t get into anything and made sure everything was safe. 10000% would recommend her for any of your services and also any training needed while doing those services. THANK YOU Brianna! -Joshua & Tycieana 😁👍🏽”

About: i have had four years experience working with dogs, including boarding and daycare services, as well as Rescue. this does include dogs who need medicine or special care as well. i deal with many different breeds, and sizes of dogs every day. I have 5 pups i call my own who love adventures and learning new tricks and i’ve owned cats growing up. i am not afraid to get a little fur on my clothes or even a little dirt, because what’s a pet without a little fur? I also do not mind simple grooming as i love trimming my pups nails and fur when they need it, but i am in no way a professional. i do have a young child so dogs must be okay with them. I am off atleast 2-3 days during the week. I have lunch break and some days I work night shift, My availability depends on my schedule but i typically have a few hours midday and afternoon to spare. I have 3 acres of fenced yard and plenty of toys to keep your pup safe and having fun. We do have big pens set up in case dogs need to be seperated or need a break.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve grown up with just about every type of animal from small to large, I’ve worked at dog rehabilitation centers, I’ve been a dog groomer for over 12 years (still grooming out of my home) I’ve worked as a vet tech in multiple veterinary clinics as well. I’m a professional groomer that works from home, my kiddos do home school, so my daily routine is usually about the same lol I groom just about every day, and also occasionally board for my long term clients With me working from home and having my kiddos home, I would absolutely prefer your pet to be dropped off and picked up, your pet will have the opportunity to play with my personal dogs, get to go outside plenty of times and also have that human interaction as well rather then being in a kennel/run for hours on end before getting let out to go potty.
