Kelsey communicated every step of the way… keeping our minds at ease!! She has a sitting family for life!! 10/10 DEFINITELY recommend! Kelsey, Thank you for caring for our girl with so much intention, love and compassion!!! You’re welcome by anytime!!!”

She also sends me pictures and keeps me updated through text, which gives me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Luiza took amazing care of my pup. She clearly made Zoey’s care and well being a priority . I felt very confident and safe leaving Zoey with her and will certainly contact her again if we are in the area .”
“I like that I was able to take a tour, inside and out, of where my girls would be during daycare. The property was kept clean and well maintained. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day. I had an overall very positive experience and would definitely recommend.”
“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: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.
“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.”

“I have never used Rover before, but Janece and Matthew put my mind at ease! They did a wonderful job taking care of our two Goldens, including a 4-month-old puppy. Their communication and responsiveness was great, and I enjoyed getting pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely book with Janece and Matthew again!”
About: I have loved and cared for pets since I was a small child. My love for fur babies started with my first pet, a boxer mix named Apollo. My parents recognized my affinity for caring for animals and quickly grew our family by adding a Guinea pig, several frogs, and a cat. In 6th grade I joined the school animal club where I learned about and cared for fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and even a snake. Throughout my childhood and into my teens it was not uncommon for me to bring home lost or injured animals I’d find in my neighborhood. My mom thought I’d grow out of this “habit,” as she called it, but she was wrong. Now that I’m an adult I have a spoiled pup who eats better than some animals, and on the few occasions when I’ve encountered stray cats and dogs I didn’t hesitate bringing them home for fresh food, water, and TLC before trying to locate the owners. My family lovingly refers to me as the “dog whisperer” because of how good I am with them. While I somewhat disagree with that title, I definitely feel that my passion for animals helps me understand and care for them with love. I am available for boarding 7 days a week as long as I have at least 3 days notice. I am also available in the evenings and on weekends to walk and play with your fur child. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly chorkie (chihuahua and yorkie mix) to play with. I also am able to crate your dog if you provide the crate. I do have one small crate that can be rented for an additional cost.
About: When your pet is with me, they immediately become apart of our family. Playtime is out of this world, Routines are followed and cuddles are a priority until you’re reunited with your fur baby. I’ve cared for dogs, my entire life so loving on them is second nature I work from home until 10 PM but work can follow me. Your pet’s care will include frequent visits up to 4 times a day including walks, playtime and feedings I have a fenced in back patio for your pup to soak up the sun. I also live in the first floor and have no other dogs or kiddos so hopefully your pup likes solitude as much as I do.
“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”
About: I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours. I follow each dog's individual routine based on the information you provide prior to their stay, including feeding schedules, medications, & any special care instructions. For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit. My dropoff/pickup windows are currently Monday through Friday, 7AM to 10AM & 4PM to 7PM, and Saturday through Sunday 8AM to 10AM. Currently I'm unavailable for dropoff/pickup on major US Holidays. *Hours subject to change based upon availability. I have open space for indoor play & a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Though dogs are free to roam & play while staying with me, during other dropoffs & pickups, dogs are always secured in kennels for their safety.

“We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.”
“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! ❤️”

You can rest easy knowing that your furry family members are in responsible caring hands, receiving dependable attention and affection in your absence.
“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”
“This was my first time using the recurring service feature and Dominic is so great. I feel good knowing Sam is safe and taken care of. She was even kind enough to bring some packages inside that had been left by the door. Great communication as well and very reliable.”
About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!!

About: I’ve been working with animals my whole life! I was a manager at a boarding facility before I moved here to SC and now I am working full time at a vets office as a vet assistant taking care of so many animals.

About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs/cat/other furry creatures my whole life. I am excited to help care for yours. I have also handled dogs with various behaviors/needs. I currently work full-time as a dietitian at a hospital but am usually pretty free on the weekends and I get off at a decent time so I am able to do an evening walk or drop in on your fur baby in the evening as well if needed! My dog, Axel, is very spoiled as he sleeps in bed with us and he gets daily cuddles. He enjoys going outside so he gets plenty of walks when it is not too hot out but on the minimum, he walks twice a day every day. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and will spoil them as much as you allow me to!

I currently work from home, so I am available at home 24/7. Great for pets that are potty training or need multiple play times a day. I abide with the rules and schedule of the owner. Not required, but I encourage a meet and greet for first time clients for care instructions and to ask any questions.

“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!”

“Whitney's family are amazing! My little girl had an amazing time. It was also fun to see Whitney's little helper enjoy her stay. A very sweet and kind family! I appreciated the updates and the warm comforting feeling knowing that my little girl felt welcomed.”
“When our dog sitter canceled the day before we were to leave, Someone recommended Rover. I was hesitant, but I found Sabastian and was happy with his bio. He responded immediately and agreed to get our dog the next day. I am so thankful to them. He and his family took such good care of our baby. He sent us pictures throughout the stay and reassured everything was great and our dog was enjoying thier dogs. Our dog was well taken care of and healthy and happy when we picked him up. Sabastian was very welcoming and kind to us and our dog and I am so thankful that we found him. We will definitely use him again.”
“My dog normally is hesistant of new people but immediately took to Shannon. Shannon taught me about proper intros and health facts around bloating I never knew prior. She not only kept me updated while she boarded my high energy dog everyday she had her, she also was understanding of unexpected car issues i had on the day of pick up. I would recommend Shannon to anyone who needs a safe place for their pet and seeking good communication during whatever service they choose to explore with her. 10000/10 would recommend”
“Aiko did a great job with Brock she was very patient and understanding with him even when he had an accident when he first arrived .I would definitely recommend Aiko and I hope to have her as a sitter again.”

“Assatta was very accommodating. She was very responsive interactive with our Demi! A very loving home and we felt at ease knowing Demi was in good hands. She sent pictures and kept us updated. I will be booking her every time she is available!”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 2 dogs over the holiday weekend! They got lots of playtime and outside time, and they were both nice and tired by the time we picked them up! She sent a couple of pictures and a couple of updates. Just enough to let us know our dogs were doing well. One of my dogs is older with some arthritis, and she made sure he got all of his medicines and had a safe space to rest when he got tired out. Would definitely recommend!”
“Leigh did a great job taking care of our miniature poodle for a long weekend. She took photos and gave updates on her progress. She responds very quickly and truly seems to love dogs.”
“Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊”
“We had a great experience with Kyra and her family. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly loved during his stay. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Sally was wonderful and loved on our 2 pups for the weekend. She had great communication and sent us pictures to keep us updated. Our pups don’t usually eat when we are away but they felt at home with her and ate. We will definitely use her again!”
“This was our second time having Merrell board our dog. She sent plenty of pictures and took great care of him, and she was flexible with us when our flight home got delayed.”
“Michael and his wife are very loving and caring with my dogs. They are always responsive and take the time to send pictures and updates, which I truly appreciate. My pets have stayed with them several times, and they have always treated them with so much love.”
“Cory and his family are very attentive when caring for our pup. After finding him on Rover, it’s now easy to go away for an overnight or weeklong trip. We never have to worry if our pup is lonely or having a great time. Cory always sends photo updates on how things are going. Looking forward to booking Cory’s services again.”
“Wonderful in every single way! They took the best care of my dog, sent me pictures of her every day, and took her on long walks and runs which she loved. Would recommend and will be booking them again!”
