“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we were two nervous fur parents. Nontombe picked up our pets on Christmas Day (that is up and above service for sure). Our babies were immediately drawn to her. She updated us daily with pictures and videos of our babies having a great time. My husband was sure that our Milo would not want to come back home with us because he was cheesing in every picture she sent. We had the best experience and our pets were treated with much care and love. We will definitely use Nontombe's services in the future! We highly recommend her as a pet-loving amazing caregiver.”

About: I have had a dog (childhood puppy at home) my whole life and she is my best friend! I have fostered multiple puppies, some who aren’t potty trained, and have experience overnight sitting. My roommates also love to have furry friends around! I am a full time graduate student with a part time job, but will be home a lot and love to get exercise walking. I also have 5 other roommates who would be happy to help out if I am busy with class. I have a front patio for quality outside time, but it is not fenced. I will be outside with your pet whenever we hang out on the patio, otherwise we will be inside.
“I chose Lexie as my dogs sitter the first time I used Rover. I felt very comfortable with her during our first meeting. I appreciated how she took notes to make sure our baby would be safe in her care. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were out of town. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs. She is fantastic!”

About: I’ve also owned a cat and have a little experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own.
“Meghan took great care of our kitties while we were away for a week over the Christmas holidays. She was very responsive leading up to the trip, and she was accomodating to our needs even during her own Christmas plans. She checked on them once a day and sent pics and updates after each visit. If there were any concerns, she updated us right away. We came home to happy kitties!”
“We left our cat, Moses, in Aaron’s care for 31 days. When we returned, Moses was well fed and well hydrated. Now that we are back home, I think Moses misses Aaron more than missed us! 😊 Aaron not only cared for our cat, he provided kindness and love. I could tell from the photos Aaron sent after every visit that Moses was comfortable being around him. Thank you Aaron, we will 100% contact when we leave for our next extended vacation.”
“Kayla has been an amazing help! She watched our cat over a year ago and we felt comfortable enough to reach out, out of the blue, to come back and watch him again for this years trip. We were in a new place and she was very comfortable and willing to help again. She is communicative and shows up consistently and always gives great honest updates with lots of pictures. Definitely a great reliable person to watch your furry kiddos!”
About: I’ve shared my home with cats for many years (most recently with my beloved Mabel, who passed last year) and have cared for countless others through sitting, fostering, and daily life. I understand cats. There subtle signals, individual personalities, boundaries, and the quiet ways they show trust and affection!! 🐈⬛
About: Cats are my specialty and biggest passion. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats through rescue volunteering and fostering, including neonatal kittens and adult cats with medical needs. I’m very comfortable reading feline behavior and adjusting to each cat’s personality, whether they’re shy, independent, or social and playful. I always aim to keep their routine consistent and make them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. 🐾

Perfect for high energy dogs - Arcadia Lakes
“Isabella and her family are so nice and pleasant. They send pictures and keep me updated with Jett’s activities during the day. He gets excited when I mention her name which is a good sign.”
“Qais took great care of our dog, Broski, while we were away. Communication was clear and consistent, which gave us peace of mind. Pictures and videos were a plus! It was obvious Broski was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We truly appreciate the care and attention Qais gave and would absolutely book again.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life from strays to fosters to pet sitting and my own pets. I have incredibly friendly pets that will make yours feel at home and I’m excellent at potty training puppies I’ve had several of my own over the years! I work from home so I have plenty of time to hangout with your beans :) while they are with me their schedule is my schedule! I have a fenced in yard, friendly cats and dogs and about a million toys for any pet, as well as private rooms they can hang in if they prefer to be alone and a cozy guest crate for pups if you like your beans crated at night or for any reason :)
“Our two pups were SO happy and content to have spent the day with Savannah while I was out of town, I could tell they were well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to let them stay with her again!”
“Riley had such a good time with the other dogs. First time for her to go to doggie daycare. I think I was more nervous than Riley was. Andrea, the sitter, was so kind and patient with her. I will definitely be booking with Andrea again.”
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.
“Our puppy had a great time! This was his first time away from us so I was nervous, but Matthew sent me pics and was very communicative. I felt confident he was in great hands. Thanks!”
“She was amazing!! We loved the updates and we worry about our big dog but he loved her? Since hes big we always are concerned about who looks after him and when hes happy we know she did a good job”
“Daisy was amazing! I booked her last minute and she was kind enough to squeeze Snoopy in for the day. She kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciated. Snoopy came home happy, worn out, and ready for a nap, so I know he had a great time! I’ll definitely be rebooking with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was young! I grew up with family cats and dogs and have always loved caring for them and playing with them. For the past ten years, I have been dog and cat sitting. I am used to visiting homes but have also housed many dogs and cats in my own home. A few summers ago, I housed and cared for a dog for three months while his owner was out of town. Over the summers, I frequently get daytime visitors when owners don’t want their dogs to be alone all day. I have significant experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I am extremely good with cats, as I’ve lived with one or more my whole life and am very fond of them. We do currently have a young cat in our home, so boarding is temporarily turned off. To explain the gap in my reviews from 2021 - 2023, I was at school and only home for holidays. I am home now for the foreseeable future. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a car and am happy to visit as many times as necessary. With more advance notice, I can also move my shifts around to be more available for your pets. I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can run around! We have several dog gates in our possession as well if needed—they’ve been used in the past to separate more anxious dogs from my cat—and I am happy to crate your dogs according to your wishes or even aid in crate training. We have bowls of our own but would need dog food brought in. I am also familiar with grooming/brushing and could aid with that. I am very social and love to spend time with animals. If staying in your home, I will make sure to give your pets lots of love and prioritize their well-being. I will always reach out with questions if anything comes up.

Communicating with dogs comes really natural to me, and I love on all of the different personalities I’ve met. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! ****I am also able to assist with any oral medications your pet may have. I have a very flexible schedule to where I work from home. My schedule is pretty open throughout the week. If I’m not working Rover, I’m home being a dog mom! In my clients home I will follow instructions as given.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and began pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around the age of 10. I’ve had a dog of my own for about 6 years now who gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Happy to care for pets of any age and willing to administer medications or provide other special needs to pets if needed. I have a lot of free time in the next couple of months as I am waiting to start a job a few months from now. I will have plenty of time to drop in to check on pets, regular walks, and boarding! I have a very friendly dog that gets along well with cats and dogs alike. I am happy to welcome your pet into my home or come to your home to care for your fur babies too.
“Omgosh! Michelle was our hero the weekend of my nephews wedding! Newly relocated to the Charleston area, we knew no one to watch our pup while we went to Savannah for the wedding. We found Michelle in Savannah, and she was wonderful!! So sweet and loving to our 10year old poodle bichon, and he seemed to be comfortable with her and her place right away. If you're looking for the perfect dog sitter, look no further, Michelle is your gal.”
“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: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — caring for them isn’t just something I do, it’s something I love. I’ve shared my life with so many kinds of creatures over the years: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, birds, fish, hamsters, and even a bearded dragon. Each one has taught me something about presence, trust, and unconditional love. I have a calm, confident energy that helps animals feel safe and seen. I’m comfortable with senior pets, puppies, and those who need medication or special care. I’ve been doing this for over twenty years, and I bring both deep experience and genuine heart to every animal I meet. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and doggy daycare — everything except overnight stays in my home. Whether your pet needs a peaceful companion, an attentive caregiver, or someone who simply gets them, I’ll show up with gentleness, reliability, and real love. As a stay-at-home potter, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent, loving care. I can provide morning and afternoon visits for walks, meals, and play, as well as in-home care during longer stretches while I manage my creative work. Weekends or flexible blocks allow for longer walks, extra playtime, or special needs care. My schedule lets me meet pets’ needs while keeping a calm, attentive presence. I know what it’s like to love your pets like family — I’ve had animals in my life my whole life, and I understand how hard it can be to trust someone else with them. That’s why I bring calm, confident energy and treat every pet as if they were my own. I love caring for pets right in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. Being in a familiar space helps them stay relaxed, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages — from playful puppies to seniors — and with pets who need medication or special care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, or just quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and understood. I also keep your home cared for, so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.
About: For 8+ years, I have cared for and loved my Lab mix, Ava, who I rescued at 6 weeks old. Over the years, I have also had a cat, and grew up as a child with many cats and dogs of various sizes, breeds, ages, and needs. Both family and friends have relied on me at times to pet sit while they are away (in my home or theirs). I also have experience giving medicine, liquid & pill form, to animals. In addition to this, I enjoy walking or playing fetch as much as your pup will! I am currently flexible most hours of the day and can accommodate your schedule and needs. I'm available for drop-ins and in-home doggy day care, as needed. Currently working on new fence construction, so for safety reasons I am not accepting pets in my home at this time. I will always strive to make your pet feel as happy and safe as you make them feel. If you are currently working on crate or command training, I'm glad to help enforce those while you're away, too! I am also willing to consider adjusting rates for add-on (only) of additional dogs <20lbs. Please just ask me directly to discuss prior to booking.

“Bella-Rose is my 18 week old, lovable Cavapoo fur baby. Christina is her first other human exposure besides me and Bella's dad, being that she just got all her vaccines. I unexpectedly had to cover my 24 hour business this month and knew I would need help with Bella. I signed on with Rover and Christina responded within 5 minutes. I was nervous at first but upon meeting Christina, I knew that Bella was in good hands. Chrisrina is on time, professional, and very loving and patient with Bella-Rose. I had no idea that these type services existed, being a new puppy mom, but I am glad I found Rover and Christina. I will definitely be using her in the future and I highly recommend her. She is great!”

“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we were two nervous fur parents. Nontombe picked up our pets on Christmas Day (that is up and above service for sure). Our babies were immediately drawn to her. She updated us daily with pictures and videos of our babies having a great time. My husband was sure that our Milo would not want to come back home with us because he was cheesing in every picture she sent. We had the best experience and our pets were treated with much care and love. We will definitely use Nontombe's services in the future! We highly recommend her as a pet-loving amazing caregiver.”
“Yua is a fantastic sitter and my dog loves coming here so much that he pulls to go back during my walks with him around the neighborhood! The consistent daily updates, good communication, and photos are very appreciated.”
“Thank you, Savannah! Opie had a quick overnight trip with Savannah and Chandler. Very responsive. Easy peasy and Opie is a happy camper. Appreciate the happy home with a playmate for Opie to stay at.”
“I chose Lexie as my dogs sitter the first time I used Rover. I felt very comfortable with her during our first meeting. I appreciated how she took notes to make sure our baby would be safe in her care. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were out of town. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs. She is fantastic!”
“Assatta was amazing I am so grateful for her! She treated my dog like her own and that's all I ask for. She made sure to keep me updated with videos and pictures. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Qais was absolutely amazing! As a first-time user of a dog sitter, I was nervous about how my dog, Bear, would handle a new environment and other dogs, but he did incredibly well under Qais's care. Qais provided the exact attention and exercise Bear needed, making him feel right at home. I loved the constant updates, photos, and videos as it gave me total peace of mind while I was out of town knowing Bear was safe and loved. The sweetest part was leaving; another dog actually tried to jump in my trunk to go with Bear! It was so cute and proof of the happy environment Qais creates. Thank you, Qais! we will be back!”
“Susan took wonderful care of Hunter over the weekend. She has a great outdoor space and I loved the pictures she sent me of him just running around having the time of his life. Susan was a breath of fresh air after a bad experience with someone else the last time we went out of town. I knew he was in great hands and it made our trip so much better knowing he was safe. Thank you Susan!”
“Michael seems to have made Zeus feel right at home! He made me feel great about leaving Zeus with someone who isn’t family, which i’ve never done before! He was super considerate of his needs, read all of my *way too detailed* instructions, and gave daily updates with photos! I will definitely be using him again if needed in the future and would recommend him to anyone! He seems to have the perfect personal touch and i’m happy that my dog returned happy and tired! both signs of an amazing pet sitter! thanks michael!”
About: Hi! I am Tony and I’m here to help you care for your family. I love animals and they love me. I am very familiar with the breeds American Bulldogs (my late pooch named Isabelle), Pitbulls (Josh), German Shepherds (Shotzi and Schnitzel). Please know your pets will be in good hands with me. I have also fostered 20+ dogs while volunteering for two no-kill rescues in Minneapolis. I worked for several years a holistic pet food and supply shop in Minneapolis, to boot. My home in Earlewood is the permanent residence of me and my two domestic shorthair tabbies, Derrick and Daryl. They’re great with other pets, especially dogs. Your dogs will enjoy a wooded double lot in a super pet friendly neighborhood. I love dog walks and ours is a super pet friendly neighborhood! Kenneled when I’m not home or not, your pet is welcome here! I work full time but only regular hours. I’ll be home with your pet anytime except 8-5 M-F. Your pets is welcome to roam freely in my home while I’m away. Of course, if you prefer, I can always kennel them while I’m away . I have a large wooded double lot that is fenced in Earlewood. I also love dog walks and our neighborhood is well suited for them. I’d your pup prefers walks to romping in the yard, just let me know. Of course, they’ll also have access to my pet friendly interior. My
“Shannon was wonderful with our newly adopted dog. She was quick to respond to texts, kept us updated regularly, and was incredibly patient with him as he adjusted. Since he recently came from foster care, earning his trust is important, and Shannon was so gentle and understanding with him. We truly appreciated the care and kindness she showed and would absolutely recommend her!”
“We used Chad for day care before and knew he’d do a wonderful job watching our pup for the week. Badger felt right at home and we got pictures everyday showing him having a great time. I am so comfortable leaving badger with Chad and his family and recommend him highly!!!”
“Sebastian was amazing with my Marley. He was very attentive and very personable. He sent us updates everyday and was a pleasure to work with. We will only trust him from now on with our Marley.”
“Eileen was fantastic! As soon as we met Eileen, we knew our baby would be in good hands while we were away! She really put our minds at ease and sent us pics or a video each day while we were away. Scout was clearly having a good time while we were away and was well taken care of by Eileen!”
