“Megan did a great job with my puppy, Shiloh. Shiloh seemed to have a great time with Megan and her family. Megan sent daily photos, kept in good communication with me, and I felt good about leaving my pup with her. I’d use her again with no hesitation!”
“Britney and her family took such great care of Homer. They loved him like their own. Britney is very communicative and flexible. Homer enjoyed playing with their dogs and sweet children. I will definitely board with Britney again.”
“You know your dog is happy with your sitter when you go the next time and he pulls on his leash to get into her house! We are so happy with Shawna’s care of Rufus while we were away. Also we were very thankful she noticed a hotspot under his armpit and got him well on the way to recovery before we returned. Rufus will definitely be back! 😊”
“Julie has been one of our favorite Rover hosts! She was quick to communicate and provided lots of updates. We have a sweet, high-energy Boston terrier, and Julie made sure to exercise and love her well. We were happy our pup was welcomed into the family while we were out of town for the holidays. We will be booking again in the future!”
“Christina did a great job with Willow. I received lots of pictures and she was wonderful with communication. Thank you Christina. I would highly recommend her and definitely use her again.”
“Ben was a wonderful dog sitter! My dog is pretty shy around new people and he was very accommodating and made my dog feel safe and comfortable. Ben sent me cute pictures of my dog having a good time during the stay.”
“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“Mary did an excellent job with our little Zoey. Felt very comfortable with her, her home and family. Will definitely use her services in the future, she’ll be Zoey’s Rover mom. Thank you so much Mary for taking care of our fur baby.”
“I’m so grateful for Christina and Ricky. My pet is treated with so much love and attention—just like family! I received updates and photos, and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I would absolutely book them again because when I’m on vacation, so is my baby!”
“Katie and her husband were great with our dog! This was our first time needing a pet sitter and we couldn't have had a better experience. Our dog was SO happy to be able to run around with his new friends, we also received pictures and updates frequently which was nice since we were gone for a whole week. We will definitely be using their services again!”
“Dara was absolutely wonderful and we highly recommend her as a pet sitter! This is the first time we have used Rover to find a sitter for our fur baby while we were out of town, but we are so glad we found Dara. Her communication was exceptional, and she even sent us pictures of our fur baby running around and playing. Thank you so much for watching Isabella for us!”
“Madi and her family were so welcoming and loving to my girls. They provided peace of mind and were accommodating to our extra needs due to being stuck out of town longer than anticipated. She sent multiple daily updates with photos showing me they were in the best of care. My girls experienced so many cuddles, walks, and a lot of playtime…they may have even been reluctant to leave Madi’s home! The communication was beyond excellent and I for sure trust her with my dogs again! 🐾🩷💕”

“You should book Brittany! During our meet and greet, she covered everything that I forgot (like where to put the key when she was done, where to access cleaning supplies for the errant hairball, etc.). She is incredibly professional, and I felt really comfortable leaving my pets in her care. She even charmed my cat that refuses to interact with people, which is beyond impressive. Seriously, she's great.”
“Hannah took very good care of our elder-cat Buddy while we traveled recently. She spent time with him & administered medicine on each visit (and provided a full report & photos every day). We will definitely be booking with her again the next time we travel!”
“Kim was fabulous!! She sent photos and daily updates. Our cat usually hides for days but came right out for Kim and snuggled and stayed close. Our home was so well taken care of that we were able to get back and enjoy being home! We hope this is a win win win for all parties and plan to reach out again!”
“Although I was initially worried about leaving my cats for several days to go on a trip, Elizabeth put my mind at ease. When she came over to meet Jem and Nesta for the first time, she was very friendly and seemed very relatable since she is a cat mom as well. I was comforted by the detailed updates and adorable photos Elizabeth shared of my two kitties during her visits, and I definitely recommend booking services with her if you have not already :)”
About: I have been the neighborhood pet sitter for years. Neighbors trusted me with their senior dogs of 11 and 14, their dogs that had unending energy, puppies of around 1 or so, and cats and even fish too. I love going to the Greenville humane society and walking dogs of all kinds that have no home, and I have also worked on a couple farms taking care of dogs and cats and other farm animals as well. I am a hard worker and eager to take on new jobs. I work part time and am also involved in sports but I am flexible and willing to work with clients on times I can care for their pets as they need. I love spending time with dogs especially, so I’ll happily take time out of my day to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. I do not offer in house services, as my house is not an adequate environment for other dogs, but I am more than willing to come to your house
“Katherine arrived on time everyday and made sure that my babies got their play time in. So glad that my pets got that extra love! I do wish that she had paid some attention to the litter box. But I can tell that she has all the makings of a great pet sitter. I would hire her again.”
About: If your pet loves attention, belly rubs, playtime, treats, or simply having someone nearby who truly cares we’ll get along great. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to pets like they’re people, notices the little things, and makes sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family member, so I focus on reliability, communication, and creating a stress free experience for both pets and owners. Expect lots of updates, adorable photos, and a pet who’s excited to see me again. Whether it’s cozy couch time, or keeping routines consistent, I’m here to give your pet the care and attention they deserve.
“Holly is a professional, kind, thorough, and compassionate pet sitter! I’m so thankful I found her to check in on my cats when I’m out of town for work. I loved the daily updates and pictures of my fur babies - that was an unexpected bonus! I have already requested her for multiple dates during the summer months and am looking forward to not worrying about how my pets are being cared for! Thank you Holly - you do an exceptional job!”
“Taylor was amazing with my cats and I highly recommend her! She was caring and thorough. My two cats were well cared for and she had no trouble administering medication. I look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
“Gregory and his son are excellent at what they do! They were great with our senior dog and our energetic younger dog! They stayed to play with them outside when the weather was nice, and even came by late at night for our senior dog to have an extra trip to potty! Highly recommend!”

“Nicole was fantastic! She stopped by to check on our cats, and her communication and responsiveness were truly A+. She shared pictures and notes after every visit, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. I would absolutely book her again. Thank you Nicole for everything.”
“I felt very comfortable having Jennifer watching over Beans for the last two weeks. She went above and beyond in her visits, and even went as far as to wash a few lingering dishes I had left behind in the sink! She was very responsive to all of my messages while I was away, and took great pictures of Beans in her check-ins. I was able to relax in my time away knowing Beans was in great hands.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands that pets are family. I provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies to senior. I have worked with dogs that have had trauma in the past and special needs. My goal is simple, to make your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. If your pet loves attention, belly rubs, playtime, treats, or simply having someone nearby who truly cares we’ll get along great. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to pets like they’re people, notices the little things, and makes sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.

Expect lots of updates, adorable photos, and a pet who’s excited to see me again. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building consistent routines around their care. I have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to provide your fur babies with the attention, exercise, companionship, and reliability they need to feel safe and comfortable.

I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for your fur babies both in my home and in my clients’ homes. In my home, they are treated like part of the family and receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day.

I make it a priority to maintain each ones normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner.

When caring for them in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focus on keeping your fur baby comfortable in their familiar environment while ensuring they receive dependable, attentive care.
About: 20+ years experience! I owned a pet sitting service years ago in Florida. It was my way as a single mother to supplement my teaching income. At one time I employed 11 veterinarian technicians as our popularity quickly grew. I retired from teaching recently and I’m now returning to my true love; caring for pets. I personally own two dogs. I adopted a standard poodle from a breeder two years ago. Sobe loves to snuggle and hike. He adores playing with other dogs. Ellie is a 13 year old Toy Poodle. She and Sobe are best buddies. I am available 7 days a week and can be flexible with times and frequency of visits. As, I have pets at home I CANNOT sleep overnight in client’s homes, but can make extra trips throughout the day and night to meet pet’s needs. Special requests will be considered. I am also available to care for a variety of pets. Safety comes first. (I am fully COVID vaccinated). I also rely heavily on detailed instructions from pet owners. I appreciate clear communication about each client and their pet’s needs in order to serve them best.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was a young child.

I have experience training dogs and caring for puppies. I love all dogs, big, small and everything in-between! I am a stay at home Mom right now with young children. My schedule is pretty open except when I'm running around to pick a youngin' up a few times a day! I'd love to fill my extra time with helping care for your fur babies!

She respected his routine, picked up on his quirks, and kept me updated with sweet photos throughout the day. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly adored her. Brandi didn’t just watch him—she cared for him like her own. If you’re nervous about leaving your pup for the first time, Brandi is the one to trust.”

“Hayley and her husband were lifesavers for me today. I had to start a job and only had about twenty minutes to find someone. They were ready and willing. My baby girl had such a great day that she was asleep before we got to their stop sign! ??. I would definitely use them again.”

I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your pets company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. More prefer that I can keep your dog in crate when I go out to do few errands.
About: I have been housesitting/dog sitting for about 5 years now, and I LOVE it! I love to show the dogs I’m watching special attention and spoil them ever so slightly. When I’m housesitting while dog sitting, that’s a bonus! Not only do I spoil the dog, but also the dog owners. I enjoy making sure the home is nice and tidy before the homeowners come home. I’ve never had any troubles with any dogs before - we were just meant to be! When you need a dog/house sitter, you can rely on me to care for your fur baby as much as you would! I currently am working full-time through Rover, so your pets will be well taken care of and played with. I grew up having a dog, so remembering to let them out and feed them is practically second nature for me! If your dog has a special diet or feeding time, no problem! I take care of the pet as if I’m their owner, showing special care and love while you are away. If needed, I do have a fenced in back yard at my home to take the dog to play around.

I am available Sunday-Saturday. I’m willing to do early mornings, overnights, late night if needed, etc. I am happy to work with your schedule!

I attempt to clip their nails when I can (They aren't fans so it’s usually when they are sleeping) I have a special diet for one of my kitties because of her dermatitis condition... So i have experience in special dieting! As far as caring for fur babies that are not mine, I try to keep it specific to the client requests! I can feed your fur baby, give them water, bath them, help train, or go by any specific requests given! I can also do dog walking and sitting or multiple occasion drop -ins!
About: As a former animal shelter employee, I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. I have worked with nervous dogs, scared dogs, dogs who just need a little TLC and I'm very good at becoming fast friends with new animals! I love to give time and attention to pets and make their time away from their owners more enjoyable. I've taken care of numerous dogs before (from huskies to collies and more), cared for cats both indoor and out, and even taken care of horses. People who hire me know they can trust me to love their pets like my own and even provide updates. If you hire me, you can be sure you'll get at least 1-2 photo updates each day (if house sitting) or each visit (if just doing drop-in or walking). My own cat is spoiled rotten and I'd love the chance to spoil your fur baby too. I work in education so I am off on weekends and in the evenings. I love to provide care on the weekends especially when I have plenty of time to spend with your furkid! For visits in your home, I am very conscientious and careful to adhere to whatever plans you've left for your pet! I work full time during the school year so I am only available on weekends until the summer. On weekends, I am available for drop ins throughout the day. If house sitting, I will adhere to your schedule though your pets will need to be okay with me being gone to work 8-4:30. I am quite familiar with dog behavior and can even care for livestock. I make sure I am fully knowledgeable about your pet’s care and schedule ahead of time. If house sitting, I will adhere to your requests and rules.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was young, and have always loved it. I love playing with them and seeing their personality shine! I’m working part time but still will be available in afternoon till nighttime! I am flexible on your specific scheduled feeding times, potty breaks, and more! I love playing with dogs but I do keep a schedule. I want to ensure pets get what they need whether it’s playtime, food, water, medicine, or more!
“Absolutely wonderful! Went above and beyond for my girls and was so accommodating on some last minute requests. She helped me feel at ease with a meet and greet after a not so great rover experience elsewhere. She updated and sent pictures. We will definitely be using her as our regular!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20 and I have had my dog for 14 years. I love animals and love be able to help people! I work full time from home and have a dog living with me. I am able to care for dogs all day and still work I have a fenced in yard with lots of grass to explore! I have comfy furniture outside too for the pups to relax on! If you dog is anything like mine, they will love basking in the sunshine on the patio!
About: I have found that dogs prefer to be in their own envirement when their owner's are away, so most of my jobs are from repeat clients and referrals for in home stays. Your pet stays in their own environment which is less stressful. As requested by you, we go on walks, mini hikes, car rides, sleep in bed with them, just lounge and watch TV, administer special diets or medicines, drop off at another relative, etc. I am flexible. Your house stays safe with someone home, mail and newspapers picked up, etc. One client always has contractors over for their large remodel. I first became a dog sitter for my 2 grandpups, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels a boy and a girl. My daughter may be the most demaning, pickiest, list of rules person in the world. Her dogs are her children and I know yours are too. So please if you feel bad about leaving them, if you have a weird request I will understand. Since I am semi-retired I have more flexibility as well. I have had dogs who needed me to sit on the floor with them while they eat, want to sleep in same bed as me, constantly want to sit on my lap or next to me. I understand the power of treats, their special toys and love! It's stressful when the owners are away, but I am here to fill that void. Rest assured, I can send you updates as needed. Whether it's a daily overview from the visits on email, quick text and/or picture from the visit, quick phone call, just let me know. If you need to meet up prior to engagement we can, If you have a longer term request we can work out a discount as well. Let me know how I can help you out and make this less stressful for you and your loved one!

“Megan did a great job with my puppy, Shiloh. Shiloh seemed to have a great time with Megan and her family. Megan sent daily photos, kept in good communication with me, and I felt good about leaving my pup with her. I’d use her again with no hesitation!”
“You know your dog is happy with your sitter when you go the next time and he pulls on his leash to get into her house! We are so happy with Shawna’s care of Rufus while we were away. Also we were very thankful she noticed a hotspot under his armpit and got him well on the way to recovery before we returned. Rufus will definitely be back! 😊”
“Ben was a wonderful dog sitter! My dog is pretty shy around new people and he was very accommodating and made my dog feel safe and comfortable. Ben sent me cute pictures of my dog having a good time during the stay.”
“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“Katie and her husband were great with our dog! This was our first time needing a pet sitter and we couldn't have had a better experience. Our dog was SO happy to be able to run around with his new friends, we also received pictures and updates frequently which was nice since we were gone for a whole week. We will definitely be using their services again!”
“Dara was absolutely wonderful and we highly recommend her as a pet sitter! This is the first time we have used Rover to find a sitter for our fur baby while we were out of town, but we are so glad we found Dara. Her communication was exceptional, and she even sent us pictures of our fur baby running around and playing. Thank you so much for watching Isabella for us!”
“Kaitlyn was so good with my baby boy and sent so many updates and photos throughout his stay! This was the longest time I have ever left him, and being able to see him happy and having fun was such peace of mind throughout my trip! Will most definitely book again with her - I’m so happy we found her(:”
“I've hired Michelle 1-2 times before and am always pleased with her care of our dogs. She kept us updated every day with videos or pictures and informed us of any concerns. One of our dogs has an anxiety issue and Michelle was on top of her medication. I really appreciated her attentiveness to our dogs. Also, the dogs came back with adorable accessories--can't beat that! Would highly recommend Michelle!”
“No words can express the gratitude I have for these two! I was extremely nervous to leave my dog Tucker as he is a dog with high anxiety. But only after an hour or two I was getting picture updates reassurance and peace of mind. Tucker had such an amazing time. He didn’t wanna come home lol”
“Shireen is awesome. She helped me out in a pinch over a holiday. Benny loved playing with her dogs and had a great time. I would highly recommend her for sitting service.”
“Garrett was amazing with my two dogs! We needed a sitter at the last minute and he was very flexible with us allowing us to schedule a quick meet and greet before the booking. It’s worth mentioning that one of my dogs can be a handful at times but Garrett was so patient with him. The communication was frequent all week long (including sending pictures). My dogs got along well with his sweet dog as well. We definitely hope to use his services again!”
“Rachel was amazing and did a great job of watching Zoë and making her feel safe while I was away for a weekend. Even getting her nice treats for her birthday week. Hope she is available next time I am in need of boarding in this area. I recommend her to everyone!”
“Our young boxer has stayed with Rusty several times - Cassius is always excited/wiggling his butt at drop off, tired and happy when he gets home! Rusty is very flexible and accommodating, also very prompt with communication. The peace of mind we have when leaving our boy with him is priceless. Sometimes we forget all about him until Rusty sends a pic of him running around like a nut and having fun. Highly recommend!”
