“Whitney and her husband did a great job with our first time boarder. She had the time of her life playing with their two cute huskies, and came home happy and exhausted. Whitney was a great communicator and flexible with drop off/pick up time. We will definitely book with Whitney again!”
“Could not have asked for a better stay for Ollie and Rori. I absolutely cannot recommend Debbie more! She is phenomenal. She sends daily pictures with a sweet message to keep you updated. My pups came back so happy and so sleepy. Debbie treats your babies like her own- absolutely must book with her!”
“Merrell was so great with Reign! Nothing but good things to say about my dog’s stay. She was a happy pup when I picked her up. Lots of updates and photos of my dog having a blast. I will definitely bring Reign back!”
“Qais did a wonderful job watching our pups! He was quick to respond, took frequent videos and was attentive to the special instructions we left him. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be returning if we ever need doggie daycare again!”
“Wonderful first time experience with Lexie!! She’s kind, professional, and sends pictures during the stay. I was impressed with how clean and neat her home was. I never even saw dog hair. Our girl had a great time! We will certainly be booking with her again.”
“Tamera is fantastic. Marley (sheepadoodle) and Stormy (labradoodle puppy) came home happy and tired. Each day I received videos, pictures and updates. Tamera was understanding about puppy mistakes and her dog, Skrewball, was very patient and good with my dogs. I will use her again should the need arise! Can’t say enough good things about this experience!”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
About: Hi! I am new to SC, recently moved from FL, and new to Rover. However, I am not new to caring for domestic animals! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I have an accumulated 10 years of experience with dogs, cats, and birds. The animals I have been able to care for have been my own, family's and friend's. I am an ex-military spouse. I've done day care, house sitting, boarding, and drop-in visits for people with high security profiles. I have experience with puppies, senior or ill animals, shelter history animals, and difficult intelligent stubborn and power, and herding breeds. I use positive rewarding with the animals and I believe this paired with other training methodologies work best for your pets life-long learning (an animal never stops training). I also use pet corrector aerosol for breaking up or stopping any unwanted behavior that otherwise would injure me to do by force or if the breed is much larger than me and leash pulls or lunges a lot (I weigh 100lbs and I am 4'11"! I need all the non-forceful and safest enhancements I can get). It works really well and I recommend to all dog owners that have a hard time stopping behavior without e-collars, chokers, etc. Dakota, my dog has never had an e-collar and she behaves really well and is obedient thanks to its help and to additional amateur training I did with her by myself. I clean/disinfect my home every day in the mornings and at night, between visits, and at your home services so that areas where the animals are at are hygienic. I have experience making homemade meals for dogs. I have experience with mitigating and adjusting for allergies. I can identify behavioral issues like reactivity, anxiety, high prey drive, and boredom in a dog in order to mitigate it and correct it if necessary. I want their success and their ease while they are in my care. I try to make most walks structured walks so that way your furry friend has some stimulation even on short walks. I clean up any Oopsies the doggy may have done inside of the home. Prices may vary. I do walks 4 times in the day when at my home and 2 while I am away at work and depending on the weather. I give baths as long as the dog is safe and comfortable and if necessary. Prices vary. I am a professional in the food and beverage industry and my schedule varies throughout the week. Please send me a direct message to discuss and verify my availability of the dates and times for the care of your loved animal friend. Care in my home: I do not have a fence which I prefer because it gives a lot of free roaming space for my dog and other dogs. I always make sure to practice meticulous leash training and exploring with the dogs. Sometimes it is even better that way to keep their attention engaged and structure their walks so that they are well stimulated after their walks and have little energy for escape stunts! 15-20 minutes of sniffari's is equivalent to 1 hour of physical exertion for these common domestic furry friends. Care in your home: There is nothing they like more than classical conditioning reinforcement, if necessary. This means I try to do some training tricks which keep them engaged and stimulated. I make sure to address any specific instructions from you and ask questions. If I see the animal tends to have a bad habit at something specific I will check with you to see if they would be okay with my mitigation of the situation: i.e.) if a puppy likes to chew at chords I would ask you if you are okay with me putting the chords in unreachable places around the home or unplugging them. Of course, knowing there is a possibility that I may have to keep up with that task throughout the service. I make sure to keep doors locked of any rooms that the animals are not allowed in. I also reset everything in your home as you left it, unless otherwise requested differently.
About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!
“Savannah and Chandler took great care of our dog! They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and easy to communicate with. We got lots of pictures of Kane and he looked happy and comfortable. Would highly recommend!”
“Adia is one of the best sitters I’ve encountered with so far on this site. She’s very friendly and knowledgeable of caring for your fur baby. I will definitely rebook and highly recommend her for your sitter needs”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, receive plenty of attention, and be treated like part of the family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, especially when you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along. I also follow each owner’s instructions because I know every dog has their own routine and personality.
“She was wonderful with Spike! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for while we were away. Her 3-year-old absolutely loved him, which was one of the sweetest parts of the whole experience. Spike was a little shy about eating at first, so she actually hand-fed him his breakfast until he felt comfortable enough to eat. That told me everything I needed to know about how loved and cared for he was while we were gone. Spike came home happy and clearly very comfortable with his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to keep him. Highly recommend!”
“Super convenient. We came down to Fort Jackson for graduation. There are hotels 4 minutes away and Fort Jackson was 15 minutes and a very easy drive. Isabela was great, Sent multiple pictures of our pup enjoying his stay with her. If you are coming down with your fur baby for graduation, this is your sitter.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!
“Christina took fabulous care of our little kitty. We were a bit apprehensive leaving her for the first time, but Blakely received personal care and adjusted quickly to her new situation. Christina was good about giving us updates via photos, videos, and messages. We would definitely bring our kitty to Christina again next time we go away. I highly recommend Christina!”

Nicole is also very communicative; her messages, cards, and photos were detailed and absolutely lovely. Through the pictures, I could tell my cat was enjoying her time with Nicole. (She even brought Nicole to her favorite tunnel spot to play!) This was already a repeat booking with Nicole, and I’ll definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Nicole!”

“Our dogs, Sammy and Bentley loved Jennifer P! They had a wonderful time together on the drop in visits. She came at the requested times, took care of them, gave a report and pics after each visit. Great job! We felt confident being out of town with Jennifer caring for our dogs . thank you!!”
“Karina was fantastic with my cats! One of them is very shy and usually takes a very long time to open up to people but she made an exception for Karina! Big thank you and a huge recommendation to anyone else who needs their furry friends taken care of!”
“Reagan is amazing! She was so attentive to instructions for our elderly labradoodle who takes several medications throughout the day. Reagan was prompt to every drop-in time and super communicative. We came home to a reenergized dog who was clearly so very well taken care of!”

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life and am also very comfortable caring for cats. I have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, bathing, and keeping pets on their usual routines. My own dog requires a little extra care, which has given me experience with pets who have special needs. I regularly manage multiple medications, help with mobility by carrying my dog up and down stairs, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe throughout the day. Because of this, I understand that some pets need a little more patience, attention, or assistance than others. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I also have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ll always follow your instructions and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their usual walks, giving medications, or keeping up with any special care they need. I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!
“Clare is everything you want in a pet sitter. We were lucky to find her. She’s quick to communicate, a lovely person to chat with, and takes the care of your pets very seriously. We have two adult cats, who are our world. Clare spent a lot of time with them on her visits, and I could tell by the photos our girls were immediately comfortable with her. And they aren’t with everyone. Especially the one diva… ? We have a lot of travel coming up, and I feel 100% comfortable with having Clare again. Trying to book her in advance, so we’re sure to get her again. Thank you, Clare! We were able to relax this weekend. L & K”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs, routines, and even their little dislikes to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

I also have two fur babies of my own who are very friendly with other animals and love to play.

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 :)
“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’m very responsible and comfortable administering medication, house cleaning, checking the mail, etc. I love all dogs and will definitely treat them like my own. I do have my own transportation.

About: I grew up with indoor pets and learned how to care for my little doggies and bunny rabbit as a child. Over the past several years, I have been trusted by friends, neighbors and family to care for, walk, play with, feed and clean after up their pets. I will be attending dog grooming school in the fall, but my schedule is very flexible. The dog grooming school I attend is predominantly online, therefore allowing flexibility in pet care scheduling. I am available weekdays and weekends and am happy to try and modify my schedule to meet your needs. I try to follow the family’s requests regarding their pet’s routines and needs. In attempt to keep the pet comfortable and happy, I focus on providing feedings, changing water, allowing for outside play and toileting time. I love to play with all types of pets and hope to make them feel safe and secure while their family is away. I look out for the pet’s safety and report any concerning signs of illness/injury back to the family (as needed).
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have 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. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week. Even when I go into work I care for them before, during my lunch and after. Whatever times you need them on their schedule I will make happen! I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.

Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I also have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ll always follow your instructions and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their usual walks, giving medications, or keeping up with any special care they need. I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!
“This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and grew up caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 5 month Doberman puppy and I am comfortable with daily routines, training, and exercise needs. As a former Air Force member and a parent of two, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attentiveness to every pet I care for. I’m committed to providing safe, consistent, and compassionate care so your pets feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, along with cameras to ensure pets are always within view. Inside, there are plenty of dog toys available to keep your pup engaged, active, and happy throughout their stay.
About: I love, love, LOVE animals and will lavish TLC on your fur babies! I started taking care of my neighborhood dogs and cats when I was 10-years-old in Greenville, SC. It's stressful for pets to be boarded while their owners are away, so I try to make sure that they feel loved and secure when I take care of them. I give lots of belly scratches and am known by my doggie work neighbors as the Treat Lady. I take my pet-sitting responsibilities seriously and make your pet my priority when you entrust them in my care. I want to you to go away with a light heart, knowing that your dog or cat is in my loving hands and that I'll spoil them rotten...

About: I have been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, and other people's pets for the past 8 years! I love working with animals, and I also have several years of experience volunteering at animal shelters just for fun. I have experience with taking care of both cats and dogs, but have extensive experience with elderly cats who need medication assistance or extra attention. I currently run my own private practice, so I have full control over my schedule. Making sure that your pets are taken care of on the schedule you prefer is my priority. I personally have two cats at home and they are completely indoor so I can monitor them. When I go to a client's home, I am a stickler for following exactly what was asked of me by the owner. Safety, affection, and having their needs met are what I most emphasize. I also am more than happy to share videos and photos of your fur baby. I know it makes my day when I'm away and I get a picture of my babies waiting at home!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. My family had two Poodles while I was growing up. I helped care for them by giving them baths, feeding them, and walking them. I also made sure they got out and had exercise by taking them for run around my neighborhood. I am active duty in the Army and am stationed at Fort Knox. I can definitely stop by at least twice a day in the morning and then evening. Depending on how far away, I can even stop by mid day during my lunch break. I can come to the pups and care for them at their homes. I’d love to take them out on long walks and to doggie parks. Just playing with them would be amazing!

“Whitney and her husband did a great job with our first time boarder. She had the time of her life playing with their two cute huskies, and came home happy and exhausted. Whitney was a great communicator and flexible with drop off/pick up time. We will definitely book with Whitney again!”
“Could not have asked for a better stay for Ollie and Rori. I absolutely cannot recommend Debbie more! She is phenomenal. She sends daily pictures with a sweet message to keep you updated. My pups came back so happy and so sleepy. Debbie treats your babies like her own- absolutely must book with her!”
“Merrell was so great with Reign! Nothing but good things to say about my dog’s stay. She was a happy pup when I picked her up. Lots of updates and photos of my dog having a blast. I will definitely bring Reign back!”
“Ms. Nontombe did an excellent job keeping my two pups! She kept me up to date on their well being and sent several pictures and videos. She is top notch service!”
“Qais did a wonderful job watching our pups! He was quick to respond, took frequent videos and was attentive to the special instructions we left him. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be returning if we ever need doggie daycare again!”
“Wonderful first time experience with Lexie!! She’s kind, professional, and sends pictures during the stay. I was impressed with how clean and neat her home was. I never even saw dog hair. Our girl had a great time! We will certainly be booking with her again.”
“Rachel was incredible! I almost don’t want to leave her a good review so no one else can book her and I can keep her all to myself! 😂 she is incredibly communicative & flexible. Got pictures of Maya the whole weekend with updates. Maya got lots of attention & lovin with Rachel.”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
About: Hi! I am new to SC, recently moved from FL, and new to Rover. However, I am not new to caring for domestic animals! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I have an accumulated 10 years of experience with dogs, cats, and birds. The animals I have been able to care for have been my own, family's and friend's. I am an ex-military spouse. I've done day care, house sitting, boarding, and drop-in visits for people with high security profiles. I have experience with puppies, senior or ill animals, shelter history animals, and difficult intelligent stubborn and power, and herding breeds. I use positive rewarding with the animals and I believe this paired with other training methodologies work best for your pets life-long learning (an animal never stops training). I also use pet corrector aerosol for breaking up or stopping any unwanted behavior that otherwise would injure me to do by force or if the breed is much larger than me and leash pulls or lunges a lot (I weigh 100lbs and I am 4'11"! I need all the non-forceful and safest enhancements I can get). It works really well and I recommend to all dog owners that have a hard time stopping behavior without e-collars, chokers, etc. Dakota, my dog has never had an e-collar and she behaves really well and is obedient thanks to its help and to additional amateur training I did with her by myself. I clean/disinfect my home every day in the mornings and at night, between visits, and at your home services so that areas where the animals are at are hygienic. I have experience making homemade meals for dogs. I have experience with mitigating and adjusting for allergies. I can identify behavioral issues like reactivity, anxiety, high prey drive, and boredom in a dog in order to mitigate it and correct it if necessary. I want their success and their ease while they are in my care. I try to make most walks structured walks so that way your furry friend has some stimulation even on short walks. I clean up any Oopsies the doggy may have done inside of the home. Prices may vary. I do walks 4 times in the day when at my home and 2 while I am away at work and depending on the weather. I give baths as long as the dog is safe and comfortable and if necessary. Prices vary. I am a professional in the food and beverage industry and my schedule varies throughout the week. Please send me a direct message to discuss and verify my availability of the dates and times for the care of your loved animal friend. Care in my home: I do not have a fence which I prefer because it gives a lot of free roaming space for my dog and other dogs. I always make sure to practice meticulous leash training and exploring with the dogs. Sometimes it is even better that way to keep their attention engaged and structure their walks so that they are well stimulated after their walks and have little energy for escape stunts! 15-20 minutes of sniffari's is equivalent to 1 hour of physical exertion for these common domestic furry friends. Care in your home: There is nothing they like more than classical conditioning reinforcement, if necessary. This means I try to do some training tricks which keep them engaged and stimulated. I make sure to address any specific instructions from you and ask questions. If I see the animal tends to have a bad habit at something specific I will check with you to see if they would be okay with my mitigation of the situation: i.e.) if a puppy likes to chew at chords I would ask you if you are okay with me putting the chords in unreachable places around the home or unplugging them. Of course, knowing there is a possibility that I may have to keep up with that task throughout the service. I make sure to keep doors locked of any rooms that the animals are not allowed in. I also reset everything in your home as you left it, unless otherwise requested differently.
About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!
“Savannah and Chandler took great care of our dog! They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and easy to communicate with. We got lots of pictures of Kane and he looked happy and comfortable. Would highly recommend!”
“If you’re concerned about the care that your pup will receive when you leave them with a Rover sitter, I’m confident those concerns will disappear once you leave your pup with Caroline S! My pup, Chowder, has been in the care of several other Rover sitters over the past few years and they’ve all been pretty good. However, this is the first time that I’ve felt that he was being cared for by a true professional! Caroline was extremely thorough! She meticulously asked all the right questions about Chowder’s preferences to make sure that she would be prepared and his stay would be as seamless and comfortable as possible. She also kept me updated constantly throughout his 4-day stay with welcomed messages, pictures, and videos! Unexpectedly, I had to add an additional day to Chowder’s stay and Caroline happily updated the reservation and assured me that it wasn’t a problem. That truly alleviated me of the stress of the unexpected situation! The thing that impressed my wife and I the most was setup of the area where Chowder slept. She had an entire room dedicated to the pups with four separate suites. Each dog would have their own individual spacious area where they would sleep and eat. Because their meals are kept separate, I didn’t have to worry about Chowder eating anything other than his prescription food. There’s also a television in the room to provide background noise to keep the pups company when they were in their suites. I was happy to see that because we do the same for Chowder when we’re at work. She also uses a white noise machine at night to help reduce the dog’s stress to help them sleep better at night. There’s also a general area where the pups can play together if there are other dogs there. The room was also very neat and clean. Bottom line is, if you’re nervous about leaving your pup with someone you’re unfamiliar with or, you’ve never used Rover before, do yourself a favor and give Caroline S. a try. I promise you will not regret it. I could immediately tell that she truly loves dogs by all of the effort she and her husband put in to create a safe, comfortable space for pups under her care! If Caroline had been the first person I chose when I began using Rover, the ONLY reason I would ever use a different sitter would have be if Caroline wasn’t available! She’s that good! She will absolutely by my Rover go-to moving forward!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I currently own two Labrador Retrievers, a Golden Retriever, and a Poodle, which has given me valuable experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly help my grandmother care for her five Newfoundland dogs, so I’m comfortable handling large breeds and managing multiple dogs at once. I understand the importance of exercise, safety, patience, and positive interactions, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a full-time college student, and I also work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Since I’m home for a good portion of the day, I’m able to give your dogs plenty of attention, take them outside regularly, go on walks, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. My schedule allows me to work around each dog’s normal routine, whether that means feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy being around dogs and would treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I’ll follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any other special needs. Since I work part-time from home and have a flexible school schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for. Whether I’m watching them in my home or staying at a client’s home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.
“I am so happy Emma was available last weekend! My dog, Stella, can be really skittish around new people but she warmed up to Emma immediately. Emma spoiled Stella while I was away...walks, visiting the dog park, puppacinnos, etc. I don't think Stella was ready to come home! Very happy with my experience and would absolutely recommend Emma.”
