“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.”
“This was my first time using the Rover app for my 9 week old puppy and Gina was amazing! She took such good care of my little one and gave him plenty of love! She had awesome communication, sent us pictures throughout his stay, and was very flexible with my work schedule. I would 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be booking again.”
“Carol is awesome! My two poodles, Cinder and Suzy, seemed to have no anxiety after meeting Carol and her husband. They had a great stay and Carol shared pictures during they stay. What a wonderful vacation knowing I did not have to worry as the doggies were in great and loving hands. You should definitely let Carol be your doggie daycare. I will never change my boarding choice again.....”
“OMG words cannot describe how wonderful Nontombe cared for our baby, Diamond, during our vacation. She provided loving care and provided photos of Diamond’s daily activities. We will highly recommend Nontomb! She is now Diamond’s sitter when we are out of town.”
“My pet who is considered a high maintenance pet is treated with such loving attention with Lashika P. He doesn’t want to leave with us when we come to pick him up. He is completely spoiled rotten! She is responsive and fabulous! High Praise!”
“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”
About: I am very experienced in taking care of and managing many different types of animals. I’ve personally owned a Chow, a Cocker Spaniel, and have owned 4 Yorkies. I now own 2 pit bulls my girl Destiny and my boy Bentley. Destiny is very kind, trained, and has never been aggressive towards any other animal or person and same with Bentley as well. We love being outside and taking a lap around the neighborhood or taking a hike through the woods. I love animals and look forward to working with you and your pets! My animals eat once in the morning and once in the afternoon, I typically feed them 12 hours apart, so whatever time I feed them in the morning goes around the same time I feed them in the afternoon I typically let them out in the morning after they eat, and depending on the weather, I’ll let them stay out in the back for a while I have a fenced in backyard so they all can play together and when I leave, I typically will either crate whoever is visiting and put my animals in my room or leave them outside there’s never any unsupervised contact
“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!”
“Stacey was outstanding! We had never boarded our dogs before, but she quickly put us at ease. She handled our dogs' meds and was flexible when we had some travel issues. We really appreciate her opening up her home to our puppies, would definitely work with her again!”
“Ashley was wonderful. Zena was right at home. I truly appreciate the care and attention Ashley and her family provided for Zena while we were out. I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a caring sitter for their pet. Thank you, Ashley!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little.

I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!
“AWESOME!! Margie was the perfect sitter for our little guys respite! This was our first time ever being away from one another for more than a couple of days and he stayed with Margie for the whole week. She was very patient with both of us, and sent us messages and pictures everyday. We take a week vacay once a year and will definitely be reaching back to to make sure she’s available.”
“Monica and Christopher were awesome. I was able to book extremely short notice and I got tons of updates and pictures! I had a nervous baby, and they took her in without questions and within the first night I had pictures of my "nervous" kid playing, cuddling, and smiling like she was home!”
“Kathy was terrific with our pit bull. He's super friendly with people, but sometimes needs a minute to warm up to dogs. Kathy did a wonderful job letting him get adjusted to her animals. He made great friends, got tons of playtime, and lots of love! She also sent us daily texts with pics and videos. Would absolutely board with Kathy again.”

About: I've always had cats growing up and although I love all animals, I have always though of myself as more of a cat person. I am used to cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. I have 7 cats of my own at home, I can't have anymore, but I keep emergency kitten food in the trunk of my car at all times for any stray that I come across, because they deserve love too.
“Sami did a great job caring for our two cats while we were gone for a week. She kept in frequent communication with me (which I really appreciated cause I can be kind of needy, lol), and the cats were happy when we got home. She got our mail too! Thanks, Sami!”
“Kayla was fabulous! My cat Goose absolutely loved Kayla, which says a lot because Goose can be sassy. Kayla was so easy to work with, made sure Goose always had food, water and her litter box taken care of. She also sent the best pictures of Goose!”
“First time using a sitter for our kitties and Emily did not disappoint… We felt comfortable choosing Emily given her reviews and number of repeat customers, and we are happy to add our names to that list… Thank you, Emily and we will be sure to call upon your services again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats. I’m reliable and take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. I can help with dogs (basic routines and leash walking) and I’m patient with senior pets who need a little extra care. I treat every pet like my own I work at a dog grooming place most days, so I’m around animals all the time. I’m off on Sundays and Wednesdays and have more flexibility then, but I can still do pet care after work on other days if that’s needed. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep them safe, clean up after them and spend time with them so they feel comfortable. I also follow any special instructions and send updates to the owner.
“Connie was amazing with my cat! Took very good care of her while I was away and even helped with medication. Highly recommended and will be my first call moving forward. Thank you Connie!”

About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My professional pet sitting experience includes small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. I have a background in animal science and care so I am the ideal sitter for pets with high medical needs and elderly pets. I am willingly to take dogs on long walks or runs, and take them to the park. I am not certified, but I can do basic training (sit, stay, etc) and leash training. 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.
“Moe is as great. I was worried leaving my cats by themselves for so long when they’re used to me working from home but I felt much better with Moe checking in on them. I was kept updated and sent pictures that I truly appreciated. 10/10 would book again.”
“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”
“Lauren was so great with our pups! She was able to help us on super short notice and still made time to come over a day prior for a meet and greet. She was punctual and provided pictures at each drop in. Would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again!”

“Our dog loves daycare with Gary! He is our number 1 go to sitter! So thankful, we are able to bring our dog to him and know that he is in great hands! Thank you for being the best sitter we could ask for Gary!”
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.

“Gina was great with our senior dog while we attended a basketball game at USC. She was very responsive and even met us after the game so we could start our drive home sooner. She was responsive and took great care of our baby. Would definitely use again for dog sitting needs. Thanks Gina!”
About: Since I’ve moved and haven’t fixed or expanded the fence I don’t prefer keeping dogs overnight unless you are comfortable with them only being leash walked. 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 a active 2 year old so we’re mostly outside and doing outside activities and wouldn’t mind friends! I work 4 days a week from 5am-3pm so I leave very early but am also back home early. But I also don’t sit for 3 of the 4 days I work so whenever friends are with us I’m completely free 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

I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!
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.
“Michael and his wife were awesome! They instantly made us feel comfortable. They had a few other dogs to watch but all was managed well! Michael communicated well throughout the day. Our dog came home happy and tired :)”
“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.”
“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.”

“I am very impressed with Daniel! He and Bentley got along beautifully and Max proved to be a good doggie friend. Daniel has a very calm demeanor and sweet disposition- Bentley became attached immediately since he is rather calm. Daniel took exceptional care and responded quickly to my silly check-ins during the day. I highly recommend Daniel!”
“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!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!🙏🏻”

“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!!!”
“The best dog sitter I have ever had! My dog immediately loved her. She even got my dog to walk when she was scared by loud fireworks. I highly recommend Lakotah and hope to book her again in the future.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs from a young age, I trained hunting dogs growing up, and not surprisingly, I have always loved animals more than most people. While in middle and high school, I would pet sit for several family friends and neighbors. I have had several careers working with different animals and had a small career as a professional corporate dog trainer for about 2 years. I have an abundance of knowledge about dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, small animals, and aquatic life and I always keep emergency kitten and puppy food in my car for any strays that I come across. I am used to dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. I have kenneling, medicating, and restraint experience and I am an AKC certified dog trainer. I work with Pawmetto Lifeline Friday - Sunday 7am - 9pm, other than that, I have a pretty open schedule. Let me know what you need and I will get back to you as soon as I can😋 While in your home, I will provide your pet with all the love and attention they lovingly deserve while you're unable to be there. As long as it's specified for their health and safety, I will be happy to oblige!

“Took great care of my crazy girls while we went on vacation with our newborn!! Dogs really seemed to enjoy her presence and was very nice to not have to worry about them”
“Angela has been a great addition to my dog’s daily routine. She has always shown up on time and taken Duke for his mile long outing. She obviously cares deeply for animals. If you hire her, your furry friend will be well taken care of.”
“Somiya was very proactive and reached out to meet my dog beforehand so that she would know how to best take care of her. I also loved the follow up pictures and notes on how my doggie behaved. I definitely recommend Somiya if you are looking for someone to go above and beyond for your pets needs!”
About: I love animals and know the feeling of going away and worrying about your pet and if they are happy and loved. Finding that person who you feel so confident they are loving your pet as you do, is priceless. I could be this person for you. Kennels are like daycares. They will provide the necessities and certainly care but pure volume and time doesn’t allow them to give the love like a special nanny would who is in your home. I am also a cat lover and would love to take care of your cats too. I will gladly stay in your home as well if preferred. Please consider me I work a full time job in healthcare Monday - Thur and half day on Fridays most often. If you live close to my work ( West Columbia) I can check on your pet at lunch time. I am available most weekends. I try to always keep my calendar updated so you can see my availability. I live alone so your pet would get undivided attention and love. I will cover my furniture so they can cuddle with me , as well as sleeping , if they are used to that. I will want to learn about your pet and their likes and dislikes.

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!! I'm currently volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!

About: My home has always had pets and I love to care for them. I currently live in a home that is on 1/3 of an acre in a neighborhood near Irmo, SC. Although the yard is very large, it is not fenced in but a huge playground for my two dogs. I have a 2 year old beagle (Cooper) who is quiet and loving and a high energy 1 year old Australian Shepard (Ashley). They are named after the Cooper and Ashley Rivers in Charleston, SC. I spend all day with my dogs as I am a stay at home dog dad for now. I take my dogs on frequent walks on leash and very much enjoy them. They are happy dogs and they love other dogs to play with. I am a stay at home dog dad so caring for my pets is simply a part of my every day life. We have a quiet home with little if any stress and a great deal of love and happiness. My dogs are well disciplined dogs, but have free run of the house and yard. When they need to be outside they are outside and when they are inside, they have comfort and care. In your home, I would care for your pets as if they are my own.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, giving me 33 years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I recently worked in the pet care industry, which gave me even more insight into providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I personally own a German Shepherd that I trained myself, so I’m confident in handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior pets who need extra love and gentle attention. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they’re my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday routine! I recently moved to Columbia and have the flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and consistency they need—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or longer stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, so dogs enjoy plenty of daily walks and outdoor time. I have a crate of my own if needed for your pet. My own pets are very friendly and social, so visiting animals will always feel welcomed and comfortable. I keep routines consistent, making sure every pet feels at home with lots of love, attention, and playtime. In Your Home: I care for pets just as you would—keeping their routine, environment, and comfort a top priority. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

Side note: I am allergic to cats so unfortunately I can not house/overnight sit at a home that has an indoor or outdoor cat. I have plenty of time to drop in or walk your sweethearts! My work is flexible and I can do it on the go! I’m looking for a different lifestyle and filling my days with your pets is a dream! Whether it is in their own home or on a walk, I want the dog to feel as comfortable as they can. Along with keeping up with their normal routine, taking care of them allows for a smooth transition upon your return
“I cannot say enough about this wonderful lady! Friendly and flexible, my dog and my work schedule loved her. And when I had a family emergency, she allowed me to schedule a boarding on very short notice. If I'm ever in the area again, I will certainly be looking her up.”
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!

“OMG words cannot describe how wonderful Nontombe cared for our baby, Diamond, during our vacation. She provided loving care and provided photos of Diamond’s daily activities. We will highly recommend Nontomb! She is now Diamond’s sitter when we are out of town.”
“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”

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!
“Kathy was terrific with our pit bull. He's super friendly with people, but sometimes needs a minute to warm up to dogs. Kathy did a wonderful job letting him get adjusted to her animals. He made great friends, got tons of playtime, and lots of love! She also sent us daily texts with pics and videos. Would absolutely board with Kathy again.”
“Kaytelyn is so relaxed and at ease around my GSD rescue. She did a fantastic job watching our girl for our 5 day getaway. She sent lots of updates, pics and even videos that allowed me to just enjoy our trip without worry!”
“This new pet sitting service is all new to me and Im glad I decided to go with Daisy for my puppy's boarding. We were greeted with joy and excitement and right away I felt my puppy was in good hands. There was good communication with updates and photos and I could tell my puppy was well taken care of. I will definitely continue working with Daisy.”
“Andrew was awesome with our golden retriever and his dog, Bianca, is a sweetie! There were lots of toys to play with and close to the trails in the Harbison State Forest - great location!”

“Janece & Matthew put my mind at ease. This was the first time ever leaving our dogs with someone else. They made sure they sent daily updates and pictures. I will use them again if ever I take another extended trip. They were very patient with me as well. They coached me through making sure I had everything needed before our drop off date. So the morning of drop off, everything went smoothly.”
“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”
“Merrell took such great care of Saint, both weekends I was out of town. She regularly communicated and sent photos of my pup playing and keeping me updated on how he doing/getting along with her other dogs. I would highly recommend using Merrell for your pet sitting needs!”
