“They did a great job with my dog and approved our booking on short notice!! Sent lots of pictures and my dog Lucy came home very tired from playing with their pup! Would book again!”
“Nontombe was great! She provided consistent picture and video updates of him throughout the stay! I could tell from those that he was enjoying his time which made me feel great knowing he was in good hands. 10/10! Definitely will use her services again!”
“Shay was great, very welcoming and comforting to us as it was our first time using Rover. She sent us pictures of our Peanie playing with friends and having a good time.”
“Our fur baby, Lena, had an awesome week with Carol! Carol did a wonderful job taking care of Lena and keeping us posted throughout the week with status updates and pictures. Carol treated Lena like she was her own providing love, exercise, and stable routine for her. I highly recommend Carol to care for your pets.”
“Lashika was great. I had reached out months before I needed her, we kept in touch and had our meet and greet shortly before our cruise. She took great care of our boys for almost 2 weeks. She sent pictures and kept us up to date on them. Needless to say we were excited to see them when we got home but we were able to relax on our cruise knowing Lashika was taking excellent care of them. Thanks so much for everything ? Bear and Murphy's mama”
“Lucas was so great! He was very attentive and responsive to any questions I had. He sent me many photos while I was away and kept me updated on how my babies’ day went with his new friend Bo.? I can tell Rigatoni had a good time with Bo and was in great hands in their household . Thank you for everything!!?”
“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.”
“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!”
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
“Our baby girl is always so happy to visit Sally. It’s like her home away from home. I can always enjoy my time away with the knowledge that Ginger is getting the best care. ❤️”
“Dolly had a great time with Stacey and her family! Stacey kept me updated with pictures during her time there. She walked her and kept her active! Would definitely recommend and bring Dolly back 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!”
“We use Assatta often when we head out of town. She sends constant updates, is extremely accommodating, and takes wonderful care of our dog! If you looking for someone to trust with your dog Assatta is who you need!”

“Hannah K is an exceptional dog sitter. She kept me informed daily with pictures and comments on my dog’s activities. She made sure meds were given and kept my dog in good health. My dog is 11 years old and not very mobile, and require more attention than most and Hannah prove to be a good fit for the task! Thank you Hannah! G. Johnson”

“Keith was everything you could ask for in a sitter! Bubbles was chill and calm and actually didn’t want to leave. She whined the entire time home. Too me, with a rescue dog who trusted no one, his level of care speaks volumes. We received text and pictures and videos. He was very considerate and even wished us a Merry Christmas. More importantly, he wasn’t in it just to get paid!! That wins me every time!!! Thanks Keith; I’m recommending you to all my friends.”

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 did such an amazing job at checking in with my cats while I was away on a trip. They warmed up to her almost instantly even though they are usually wary of strangers! Overall, Kayla provided such an exceptional service that put me and my cats at ease!”
“We just completed her staying with our cat for a week and she did a very good job! We are planning to use her a second time during our 10-day vacation. She loves on your pet and is reliable.”

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.
“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 🤩”

About: All my friends know me for my love of cats. I have two of my own, and have fostered dozens of kittens and cats. My time volunteering and fostering at rescues has given me experience with all types of cats, from spicy to sweet, babies to seniors, and cats who need special care and medication. For Ft. Jackson families, I am a veteran and have base access. I'm a student and have class in the morning, but most of my weekdays I'm available to drop-in or cat-sit. On Friday-Sunday I'm available all day! I take care of all cats like my own. For drop-ins, I'll make sure to give extra love, pets, and playtime. For boarding, I have a quiet room that your cat will have to themselves with a big window that's perfect for bird watching.

“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! ❤️”
“Gary was delightful and seems to have taken very good care of our pup Louie. He is very kind and genuinely seems to care about the pups. This was Louie's first time in daycare and Gary made it easy and stress-free. Highly recommend and will use Gary again if in the area. ?”
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: 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).
“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.”
“Nontombe was wonderful with our little guy! We had never left him before and she made sure he felt comfortable and safe. It was extra special to get pictures and videos of him so we knew he was being super well cared for. Would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs ☺️”

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.

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 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
“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.”
“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!”
“Charlotte is one of the most professional dog sitters that I have encountered using Rover for the past year. She welcomed Blue with open arms, spoiled him with many hugs and even give him a toy on our last day. Her own dog Woody, is especially sweet so Blue looks forward to coming back soon. I highly recommend Charlotte's perfectly safe home/yard setup for all pups to enjoy.”

“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.

“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”
About: I grew up with two dogs and two cats. I now own two cats of my own and they are my world. I am certified in animal care through the CAT Center. There I learned to groom and care for many different kinds of animals. I am home for the summer trying to make some money before I move to florida for school. My schedule is pretty much completely open. At home my cats eat at 8am and 8pm I go back and forth between dry and wet food. I clean the litter once a day and completely change it once a week. I play with them as much as I can and I’m always bringing them new toys. I care for all animals like they’re my own.
“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.”
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 taken care of dogs for personal experience, family members, and friends for years. It was my duties to bathe them, feed them, walk them, and even cater to them. They have such a special place in my heart, and I am always willing to go above and beyond for them! Im a college student with a major in nursing! Im currently unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays until my next semester. Although, as of right now im available anytime on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the Weekends!

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 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!

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!
“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.”
About: I have a Pekingese who is almost 20 years old and a Great Dane that is almost 9! Let me love your animals like they are my own ❤️ I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I will send all the pictures/videos you want of your furbaby(s). Work entirely remote and am home with my babies all day. I am entirely flexible to meet the needs of any client circumstance. How can I help? I have a fully fenced in backyard but am always outside with the pups playing. If it’s a rainy day, we have plenty of room inside for shenanigans.
About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!
