About: I’ve taken care of cats for neighbors and friends while away or just for a drop in. I do love a soft little kitty, and totally understand the boundaries of a kitty who might be more on the shy side! I have a medically fragile dog and have had senior pets throughout my life, so I am aware of signs of distress or discomfort in animals and comfortable communicating that with owners and seeking help quickly.
“This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!”
About: i've always had dogs in the house. I've always had at least 3 dogs in my house at a time, growing up my best memories were going on hikes with all my dogs. I've always been running and playing with dogs. I'm currently working at Liberty on the Lake. I have my availability set to 4pm to close there though i do work morning and/or night shift on weekends. in my free time i walk my dogs and take my one energetic dog on a run. I am able to take any specifically energetic dogs on runs! I just love animals and it would be a cool experience to hang out with them. I walk in the house and see if a dog comes up to me, if not i call the name of the dog. I take the dog out to go potty and for a walk. If needed i'll feed the dog.
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for my cat, Oreo. Whitney is a true animal lover and really connected with her, which meant so much to me. Her communication was thoughtful, responsive, and always kept me feeling at ease. She went above and beyond, and I truly felt like Oreo was so well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely trust her again!”
“All I can say is that Heather did an amazing job taking care of my moody but sweet Cali the Calico. She understood her attitude and gave her the space that she wanted. Heather is very sweet and trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with Cali. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Heather.”

“Sebastian and his family were so very kind—and my Jet had a great time with them!! We will definitely call on them for our Rover needs anytime we are visiting Columbia! Thanks for an awesome experience! ❤️”
About: I have had animals my whole life, never been able to live without at least 2. I love working with animals and their unique personalities. Every animal has their own quirks, and I would love to help care for your fur baby! I am available any days for boarding. Ruth and I go for a walk in the morning, in the evening, as well as playing out in the yard in between. We spend most of the night playing or lounging around the house. Ruth is typically crated at home, and I would prefer for your dog to have a crate as well so they have a space all to their own while staying with us. I have a large yard and a fence, and always monitor the dogs when outside. When interacting with any animal, I always make sure to be calm and gentle. I do my best to read animal body language and predict and prevent situations before they happen.
“This was our first time using Rover and taking our 4.5 month old puppy to daycare and we were very nervous. When we first met Gary he put our nervousness to ease as he was so kind and caring. Gary took great care of our puppy as if he were his own and sent us pictures to keep us updated! Our puppy had a great time and we definitely recommend Gary! We will absolutely be bringing our baby back for future stays! Thanks Gary! You are the best!”
“Needing a pet sitter for my fur baby while I was visiting my daughter at the University of South Carolina- only for a few hours to watch the basketball game. I didn’t want to leave her in the hotel with all the doors slamming. I was so pleased and thankful to find Gina on Rover- who responded immediately and said that she could watch my Nola. Gina gave me lots of pictures during the visit and made me feel safe and comfortable! I knew she was in good hands! 🐾💕 Would definitely recommend and use again! 5 out of 5 🌟”
About: Hello y’all! I am very experienced in training dogs and caring for dogs, cats, and most other animals. I have a lot of knowledge about dog and cat health, along with other animals (reptiles, birds, horses, etc.), and different breeds. My prior amazing pittie, Bo Peep, was deaf. Thus, I know ASL commands and signs from training her myself. So, I am able to work well with other deaf/hard-of-hearing animals. I’ve been lucky enough to have and/or care for all sorts of animals throughout my entire life, especially growing up as a feral child (haha) in Florida. I always tried to bring animals home (often to my mom’s dismay), and I’ve worked with various animals (e.g. birds of all sizes, reptiles, cats and dogs especially, horses, amphibians, fish, and some other farm animals). I have no problem giving medication or following any medical-related plans. I work with pets of all ages. I look forward to meeting y’all! I am currently a therapist that works remotely from home, so I am able to be with fur babies in-between clients throughout the day to meet their needs. I am very active, so plenty of walks for pups! With dogs and cats, I try to provide them with as much mental stimulation that I can (and maybe a few treats).
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I’ve taken care of, feed played with and walked family and friends dogs and always made sure they were safe I’m currently not working so I have time to play and walk with your pups. I am able to board any day of the week at anytime! I do not have a fenced in yard but can assure you that your pups will be safe at all times. I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!
“Brittany is exactly what you would expect from a caring and responsible dog sitter. Her home is warm and comfortable, perfectly setup for lots of doggy love. She took such great care of my pups for the day. Brittany asked all the right questions and provided a great time for my little ones. I highly recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
“Margie took awesome care of our puppy, Jasper. He has separation anxiety, but he was happy to stay with Margie, and when we returned to pick him up, he was glad to see us but was running back to Margie as well, clearly content to be with her too. The backyard is great for small dogs to be safe and play, and the house is very clean. I am very glad to have found Margie since Jasper is not happy staying home alone. He is looking forward to his next stay!”
“Jud and Nicole are great! Dexter stayed with them for a day and with the very first picture they sent us just a few minutes after we dropped him off, I could see how happy and comfortable he was with them. He also had lots of fun with his new friend Baxter. Now we can rest assured that our baby is in great hands when we go on a trip in a few weeks.”
About: My 1st Drop-In visit is free for multiple visits, just ask! While taking care of multiple pets in my household growing up and dogsitting for friends and family, I know the amount of care and love a dog needs to sustain a healthy and happy life. I like to stay physically active so walking, playing in the yard, or going to the park isn't a problem. I'm currently working part-time, so I do have time to spare for your pets! I am available mainly on the weekends, but during the week I am usually free for pet care/drop off/pick up. I have a fenced yard and a walking trail in my neighborhood for anytime the pups need to go out. I can keep your dog crated or let them roam free around the majority of the house if I am not home. I am available to feed and water your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening if need be.
“Nicole and Telly are AMAZING!!!! They have helped me and my dogs through an incredibly stressful transition moving across country. They treat my dogs like part of the family! My girls look forward to spending their day with them and their dog Apollo. The dogs wrestle together, bask in the sunshine, roll in the yard and go on long walks. When I pick them up they are POOPED and sleep the whole 20 min back to the Airbnb that we are currently staying in. This is so helpful for one of my dogs who has massive anxiety issues, because she’s too tired to stress about all of the changes we’re going through. Nicole, Telly and their kids truly love animals and are fabulous caregivers! I feel so fortunate to have found them!🙏🏻”
About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
About: I have years of experience owning animals. I’ve been training them professionally since 2016. All positive reinforcement. I can give you the reassurance of safety and love for your pet while you’re away, at work or just need a break. I’m available any time really. I am also available to watch reptiles, or small furry friends. I don’t discriminate against any animals. Cats as well but unfortunately not in my own home. I love them all. Message me for your pet needs and I’ll get back with you quickly! We have 2 adults in the home with different work schedules. A 7 year old son who loves to help. We a beautiful neighborhood to take leisure walks in, and the walking trail to harbison recreation center is right next to our house. We have a fully fenced back yard, great for escape artist. We can provide peace of mind for your fur , feathered and scaled babies. I do exactly what the parents request while giving the pets the patience and care they deserve. They will be in loving hands. Our goal is to make their stay stressless and enjoyable.
“Totally amazing! My dog can be slow to warm up to new people but she was able to make him feel comfortable and safe from the first day. I really appreciated the updates as well, would rebook any time I need a sitter.”
About: Hi I’m Jianna I have lot of experience with all kinds of animals, I am a big animal lover. I do live in an apartment but we do have a dog park and I work from home so we’ll have plenty of walks during the stay. I also am a pawmetto foster so I frequently have other dogs and cats that spend time with me for a few months at a time. I have an active 5 year old so we’re mostly outside and doing outside activities and wouldn’t mind friends! I work from home so I’m home all day on Weekdays and stay busy on the weekends but usually outside at a park or the lake or a pool not many places when your baby will need to stay back for we love a good car riding buddy I’ve had many dogs and cats as a foster so I’m also really good at following care instructions so whatever your preference is for your fur baby I can more than likely accommodate

“Andrew was wonderful with my dog. He is great at communicating and has a quick f response time. He was flexible when weather and other situations arose. My dog loves him and always gets so excited to see him. We will absolutely use him in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around all types of pets and absolutely love all animals! We’ve had an array of animals in our house growing up such as a German shepherd, parakeets, love birds, hamsters, gerbils, hermit crabs, and Jack Russell terriers! I now own three dogs! We have a super sweet labrador, a frenchie, and a boxer-pit mix. We love taking our big dogs on hikes and out to socialize any chance we get! Daily walks and outside time are a must for our pups and we love every minute of it. I have experience with IVDD and surgeries to follow with my French Bulldog. With that being said, I have first hand experience with caring for a medically fragile animal, administering medications, and seeing signs of discomfort in animals. As a pet owner and lover I know the importance of making sure you have someone you trust with your animal babies! I’m transitioning from being in the classroom full time to substitute teaching once school starts back up. I am free for the summer and will have flexibility in my schedule, especially for afternoons and evenings. I take my own pups out for a walk at least twice a day morning and evening. They also have outside time at least 3-4 times a day for 20+ minutes. If you choose to have your pet board with us we have a full privacy fenced backyard. We also have crates and gated off rooms to separate pups in they need a break or some down time. Our neighborhood is very walkable and private with low traffic.
“Samira has been a jewel! She is reliable and just an awesome person. Bentley loves her and we will miss her dearly! Thank you Samira for being consistently there for Bentley! You rock!!!”
About: Every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved so their time away from you feels as stress-free as possible. I am a remote freelancer who works my own schedule so I am completely flexible in my pet care schedule. Whether your fur-babies are independent kids who need only a daily walk, or they're needy lil' nellies who want to go potty umpteen times a day. I'm a reliable source for care. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, and personality to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. As a pet owner myself, I understand that some pets can be anxious, reactive, or take a little longer to warm up to new people. I'm patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet's individual needs, whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking closely to their routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.

And I tend to my chickens daily, collecting eggs, checking feed and water and giving treats! I have only sat for people in their home so far. I follow what instructions they leave and check in with them to let them know how things are going. I would want that reassurance so I do that for my clients.

“This is my first time using Rover or any dog walking service at all. I totally lucked out with Mary Helen! She is a true animal lover, which is just what you want in a dog walker/caretaker. She has walked my husky, Niko, for a few weeks now. He absolutely loves her! She is always friendly, on time, flexible with my schedule if I need to change something, and always keeps me updated on how he did on his walk with information and pictures. She even runs a little bit sometimes with Niko (which is great to tire him out). Niko is a better dog because of Mary Helen! I am very, very pleased with her services and I feel like we're already friends :) I highly recommend her for taking care/walking your doggos!”
About: I have owned both a cat and two different dogs since I was a child and have years of experience in taking care of and playing with both cats and dogs.

I also can take dogs for walks as long as needed to properly exercise them and have experience feeding dogs with specific medication needs. I am currently in school full time at Winthrop, but my schedule is pretty flexible because I don’t take classes for periods longer than 3 hours so I will be able to check in on any pet throughout the day on any weekday and during the weekend. I am also available for overnight stays during the week as long as I can leave the house in the mornings for one morning class that I attend Mondays through Thursdays. I am currently living in a dorm, but will be able to take care of pets away from my dorm and can travel almost whenever you need me to in order to meet your needs as a pet owner as long as it is not during my classes.

“A loving family that handles pets with grace and love. I appreciate their care and concern for my big baby and for treating her like their own.. i would happily book with them again. Thank you so much for taking care of her.”
“Therio and family were great with my girl! They took her on walks updated pics with me and spoiled her! Even Apollo enjoyed her company. Thanks for keeping Olivia last minute.”
“Kathy did amazing with my 3 pups. Kept me updated on how they were doing and was very knowledgeable on how to handle my fearful pup. 10/10 will def use again!!!”
“This was my dog's first time being away from home so I was a bit nervous but I'm so thankful I went ahead and booked with Michael!!! My dog did so well and had a great time!!! I will definitely be booking with him again soon!!”
“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”
“Assatta was amazing!! She kept me informed with daily texts, pictures and videos of how Joonie was doing each day. She has a dog already and it was great to see that my dog meshed well with hers. It was clear from the updates she sent each day that our dogs became “besties” instantly. I am thoroughly pleased with the care that Assatta provided for Joonie. She informed me that she would be willing to watch my dog anytime and I certainly plan on using her again in the future. It was clear that Joonie had the time of his life in Assatta’s care, he came home and instantly went to sleep because he was worn out from having so much fun. Thank you so much Assatta for treating him like your own! ☺️”
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.
“Aiko is the best! Sometimes it can be hard for my puppy to get adjusted to someone new, but she felt at home with Aiko pretty quickly! When I picked her up the first time, she was content and well-rested. I really appreciate Aiko's communication with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”
“Glenn was AMAZING! I was never worried about my dogs while Glenn cared for them. I got pictures and updates daily. My dogs loved staying with Glenn and I could tell that he enjoyed them also. I will definitely be booking with him again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about it, but all my fears were gone once I met Whitney. She was very kind and send me multiple pictures of my baby Cooper. Her dogs were very cute and sweet too. I would reccomend her to anyone.”
