“We met Becky and introduced our pet. We had very much planned to have her keep our dog but at the last minute our plans changed. Becky was very understanding. We very much do plan on working with her to keep our pet.”
“Adia was great with Milo. I could tell when I picked him up that enjoyed his time with her. He normally runs to the car without a look back but this time he actually came back to say bye. I was shocked. Lol. But I will definitely be back. Thanks Adia!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Merrell is hands down the best! She has a wonderful home and excellent backyard, which my dog loves to run around in. This time, my dog was on medications and she managed all of them without any issue. She will continue to be my go to as she is amazing with my dog.”
“Isabela was amazing with our yorki. She sent regular updates with pictures and was quick to respond whenever I reached out!! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much for treating our dog like it was your own :)”
“Lexie took amazing care of my lab! She is incredibly detail-oriented during the intake process and clearly passionate about dogs. Her professionalism really stood out. The pack-dog environment she provides (just as advertised) was perfect for my super-friendly and playful lab, who thrived in her care. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and am so grateful to have found Lexie. I will absolutely be bringing my fur baby back!”
“I can’t recommend Qais enough! He watched my baby, Bear, while I was away on a work trip, and I was incredibly nervous because I’d never been away from him for that long before. Qais immediately put my mind at ease with his care and communication. The experience went so much better than I expected, and I was thrilled to hear that Bear even made some new friends during his stay! It was clear that Bear was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Knowing he was in such good hands made my trip so much less stressful. I would absolutely trust Qais with Bear again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
“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!”
“Evelyn was an INCREDIBLE host! She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of our sweet Sunny and was so easy to communicate with. We felt safe having Sunny with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“100% recommended! I have three adult Shih Tzu dogs and I've never left them with anyone before, but I had an emergency trip and Nontombe was my support and salvation to take care of my babies. She took all the precautions I asked her to with them, and amazingly they adjusted to her quickly. Not only did she make me feel comfortable, but my babies also had a great time. I would definitely hire her services again! Nontombe is a lovely person, very kind and patient❤️”

She was also very flexible and understanding with a couple of changes that I had to unexpectedly make to the booking at the last minute! Since we recently moved to this area, I was worried about finding a new go-to Rover who would be a great fit for my kitties, but we will definitely book with Rachel again! 😌”

I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes—from tiny lap dogs to 100+ lb giants—and can easily match any energy level, from zoomy pups to mellow seniors. As a college student on summer break, my schedule is wide open! I have plenty of time to give your furry friends the love, attention, and care they deserve.

I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and always prioritize safety and trust.
About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and understand that each one has a unique personality and comfort level. I’m patient and attentive, especially with shy or independent cats, and I take time to build trust at their pace. I’m currently studying veterinary medicine, which helps me better understand feline health, behavior, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable handling feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats the calm, quiet environment they need to feel safe. Whether your cat is playful or prefers space, I adapt to their needs and make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away. I can administer medications if needed and provide updates and photos after each visit.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and began pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around the age of 10. I’ve had a dog of my own for about 6 years now who gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Happy to care for pets of any age and willing to administer medications or provide other special needs to pets if needed. I have a lot of free time in the next couple of months as I am waiting to start a job a few months from now. I will have plenty of time to drop in to check on pets, regular walks, and boarding! I have a very friendly dog that gets along well with cats and dogs alike. I am happy to welcome your pet into my home or come to your home to care for your fur babies too.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life from strays to fosters to pet sitting and my own pets. I have incredibly friendly pets that will make yours feel at home and I’m excellent at potty training puppies I’ve had several of my own over the years! I work from home so I have plenty of time to hangout with your beans :) while they are with me their schedule is my schedule! 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 :)
“We needed someone for the day to watch our doodle and Dolly came to the rescue! She was very quick to respond to my messages and very easy to coordinate drop off/ pick up times. We are very appreciative and Stevie enjoyed her stay!!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — caring for them isn’t just something I do, it’s something I love. I’ve shared my life with so many kinds of creatures over the years: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, birds, fish, hamsters, and even a bearded dragon. Each one has taught me something about presence, trust, and unconditional love. I have a calm, confident energy that helps animals feel safe and seen. I’m comfortable with senior pets, puppies, and those who need medication or special care. I’ve been doing this for over twenty years, and I bring both deep experience and genuine heart to every animal I meet. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and doggy daycare — everything except overnight stays in my home. Whether your pet needs a peaceful companion, an attentive caregiver, or someone who simply gets them, I’ll show up with gentleness, reliability, and real love. As a stay-at-home potter, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent, loving care. I can provide morning and afternoon visits for walks, meals, and play, as well as in-home care during longer stretches while I manage my creative work. Weekends or flexible blocks allow for longer walks, extra playtime, or special needs care. My schedule lets me meet pets’ needs while keeping a calm, attentive presence. I know what it’s like to love your pets like family — I’ve had animals in my life my whole life, and I understand how hard it can be to trust someone else with them. That’s why I bring calm, confident energy and treat every pet as if they were my own. I love caring for pets right in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. Being in a familiar space helps them stay relaxed, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages — from playful puppies to seniors — and with pets who need medication or special care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, or just quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and understood. I also keep your home cared for, so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.
“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.”
“Our two pups were SO happy and content to have spent the day with Savannah while I was out of town, I could tell they were well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to let them stay with her again!”
“Highly recommended! She kept me updated with Nina most of the day & she sent me pictures of her throughout the day. Great communication and very professional. Me and Nina appreciate you”
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with pets and right now I have two dogs and two cats! I would be happy to bring one of my dogs over to help socialize your animal if that is something you would be interested in! I also have expertise training dogs so I will keep up any training you may have going with your pup! I am a graduate student at USC so I have an extremely flexible schedule and am very responsible. I am someone you can trust with your pets and in your home. I will treat both with the utmost respect. Please message me if you have any other questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!
“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”
About: I personally take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet. I truly treat every dog like family. I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, including helping them learn routines with patience and positive reinforcement. I’m also very gentle and attentive with senior dogs and cats making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and never rushed. My experience babysitting and volunteering at CPR classes has taught me to be responsible, observant, and calm in any situation. As a Sports Medicine major at Voorhees University, I also understand the importance of movement, safety, and overall well-being. I naturally pay attention to a pets behavior, energy level, and comfort. I especially love caring for strong, affectionate, pets and I enjoy building trust with every dog I meet. Pet parents can relax knowing their dog is getting patient care, attention, and lots of love while they’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my days around responsibility and consistency. I keep a structured schedule, so feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins are always planned and never rushed. During the week, I build time into my mornings and evenings for walks, exercise, and making sure each dog is comfortable and doing well. On weekends, I have even more flexibility for longer visits, extra playtime, and companionship. My experience babysitting has made me very used to planning ahead, staying attentive, and sticking to routines that help others feel safe and cared for. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like an extra task to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I especially make sure every dog gets consistent attention, patience, and lots of love. I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, following their daily routines for feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior and health closely, addressing any concerns promptly. I keep their space clean and engaging, providing toys, affection, or play based on their personality. I also communicate with owners about updates and special instructions to ensure consistent, high-quality care.
“Eileen was a very pleasant lady and great with Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her, who had a good time with her dog. The fenced backyard was great for Daisy to roam around. I would recommend Eileen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I worked at a vet clinic for three years, and I’ve been petsitting for about 11 years now. I have fostered and rescued many times. I have one dog, Huck, and two cats, Khaleesi and Abu. I work almost entirely from home, so I am here almost all day. I occasionally have to run to a job for 2-3 hours, but I can adjust my schedule when necessary. I have a brick fenced in back yard. I am happy to go for walks and play fetch and accommodate any way I can. I worked at a vet clinic for three years and I’ve been petsitting for over 10 years now, so I have plenty of experience giving meds and caring for our four-legged friends.

I got out of the medical field, and have now devoted my lifestyle to my at home marketing and being a full time dog mom! I’m skilled in handling dogs of all sizes and all energy levels. I love teaching new tricks and commands. I wanted to pursue dog training once and tend to mimic a lot of tips that stick with me. Communicating with dogs comes really natural to me, and I love on all of the different personalities I’ve met. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! ****I am also able to assist with any oral medications your pet may have. I have a very flexible schedule to where I work from home. My schedule is pretty open throughout the week. If I’m not working Rover, I’m home being a dog mom! In my clients home I will follow instructions as given. I own a crate if needed, I prefer not to crate if in my care. I’m always loving on my fur babies🥰

About: I grew up around a lot of neighborhood dogs. Over the years I have fostered many dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. Giving them home life structure and basic obedience. The last couple years I've done a lot of dog sitting for family and friends! I work from home full time and am able to watch your dog all day and night! I'm usually busy on the weekends but will keep my calendar updated in case I'm in town and available. I have a large fenced in backyard, my house is a three bedroom, stand alone house. It is in a very dog friendly neighborhood! It is just my fiancée and I living in our house. We allow dogs on our living room furniture but not on our bed.

“What a find in Chad! All the reviews about how wonderful he is are spot on. Chad jumped right in and went above and beyond. I never worried a moment I was gone with Penny in his capable hands. Thank you!. Thank you!”
About: I have been pet sitting and doing over night stays for friends, family, and now rover for around 5 years! I have also volunteered at PAALs service training dog shelter while at school! I have an elder miniature schnauzer and a cat at home. :) I am currently a senior in college, but I am available all summer! I am available for stop ins as well as over night stays. I care for pets in other peoples homes depending on the owners needs! I am able to hang out and play with the dog at home, stay overnight, and/or take them on walks!
About: Lifelong animal lover here—raised dogs, cats, even a snake and ferret. Years caring for friends’ pets taught me patience, intuition, and big-time snuggle skills too I’m easygoing and flexible! I’m available for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and all the snuggles from mid-morning through evening—basically any day except for normal sleeping hours. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own. I follow your routines, keep things tidy, give lots of attention, and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and completely understood while you’re away.
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’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.
About: My family and I are trained as a foster parent through Pawmetto lifeline but I am currently taking a small break or else I will end up with 20 dogs! I have been around animals my whole life and feel that a home is not complete without them. I am very comfortable with adjusting my life to their routines and active training. I DO REQUIRE PROOF OF FLEA, TICK, & HEARTWORM MEDICATION *Note: I will accept exclusive boarding (just your dog) if booked far enough in advance for an additional rate. Your pet would do perfect with me! I am a full-time online students and mama. This leaves me with open available and perfect for the pets who struggle with separation anxiety. Our days consist of some classes then walks when the weather is nice, zoomies in our large shaded backyard, car rides, and of course some much-needed nap time! I have a house where dogs ARE allowed on the couch and bed, a big fenced yard, and a warm cement patio for basking in the sun. Plus various shaded areas, on hot days I do limit out time side to prevent over heating. I have various rooms in my house to section off if the fur-baby needs some "me time". I am trained in the unlikely event of a dog fight to safely separate the dogs.
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 was the little girl who’d find abandoned eggs to hatch in my incubator, make a tadpole sanctuary in my portable aquarium, nurse birds with broken wings in shoeboxes, and carry lost kittens home to try to keep them. They’ve never been "just animals" to me—I’ve always connected to creatures in a way that is oftentimes hard with people. With such high regard for animals and pets, I treat every Rover booking as though I am caring for someone's child. I truly enjoy this experience, finding myself more and more grateful for cats' and dogs' ability to heal us, both mentally and physically. I am in my last year of medical school, so I treasure all opportunities for the stress relief that animals provide. In choosing a pet sitter, I hope my medical background can also provide you with some peace of mind while you are away from home. Whether your pet craves affection or has high energy, I strive to provide the care they deserve. My goal is to meet your pet's desires, whatever they may be—cuddling up to watch a movie, playing fetch to burn off some energy, or exploring a new area on a walk. Regarding seniors, I have personal experience with my elderly pet who required special medications and assistance. I find fulfillment in giving unconditional love to these pets during their golden years. I hope to have conveyed my dedication, dependability, and compassion as an animal lover. I would be honored to take care of your pet(s). If you feel I would be a good fit, please reach out with any questions. Hope to hear from you soon! I am currently on summer break, so I have a relatively open schedule other than studying for a board exam. However, I need more dedicated study breaks with animals! I am great at following any instructions you may have. I am very clean, organized, and conscientious of your pets’ and home’s general well-being. I am always conscientious about the physical and emotional boundaries of animals. I am skilled at reading both dog and cat body language. I don’t push them if they’re giving signs to back off. I actively search for choking hazards, mitigate escape risks like open doors or loose harnesses, and frequently monitor safety on walks. I ensure that your home is always locked and that the yard/fencing is secure while dogs are outside. I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being.
About: I absolutely love dogs. I really believe that they are the closest animals to being human. I have taken care of dogs for my family members and neighbors for about 6 years now. Whenever someone needed a weekend getaway. My dream dog is a poodle but they are pretty pricey. I am hoping someday someone's willing to gift me one. I'm currently working my own schedule on different job opportunities similar to this one just inform me at least 2 days ahead and I'm willing to provide. I have a fenced in yard. I have an empty room if your dog likes to be alone for naps or quiet time. Im willing to crate your pet if needed.

“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.”
“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.”
“Merrell is hands down the best! She has a wonderful home and excellent backyard, which my dog loves to run around in. This time, my dog was on medications and she managed all of them without any issue. She will continue to be my go to as she is amazing with my dog.”
“Lexie took amazing care of my lab! She is incredibly detail-oriented during the intake process and clearly passionate about dogs. Her professionalism really stood out. The pack-dog environment she provides (just as advertised) was perfect for my super-friendly and playful lab, who thrived in her care. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and am so grateful to have found Lexie. I will absolutely be bringing my fur baby back!”
“I can’t recommend Qais enough! He watched my baby, Bear, while I was away on a work trip, and I was incredibly nervous because I’d never been away from him for that long before. Qais immediately put my mind at ease with his care and communication. The experience went so much better than I expected, and I was thrilled to hear that Bear even made some new friends during his stay! It was clear that Bear was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Knowing he was in such good hands made my trip so much less stressful. I would absolutely trust Qais with Bear again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
“100% recommended! I have three adult Shih Tzu dogs and I've never left them with anyone before, but I had an emergency trip and Nontombe was my support and salvation to take care of my babies. She took all the precautions I asked her to with them, and amazingly they adjusted to her quickly. Not only did she make me feel comfortable, but my babies also had a great time. I would definitely hire her services again! Nontombe is a lovely person, very kind and patient❤️”

Caroline did a wonderful job accommodating our pup’s needs and we will definitely use her again when we come to Columbia. Thanks for everything Caroline!”
“Thank you, Savannah! Opie had a quick overnight trip with Savannah and Chandler. Very responsive. Easy peasy and Opie is a happy camper. Appreciate the happy home with a playmate for Opie to stay at.”

“Therio and family were great with my girl! They took her on walks updated pics with me and spoiled her! Even Apollo enjoyed her company. Thanks for keeping Olivia last minute.”
“Assatta was amazing!! She kept me informed with daily texts, pictures and videos of how Joonie was doing each day. She has a dog already and it was great to see that my dog meshed well with hers. It was clear from the updates she sent each day that our dogs became “besties” instantly. I am thoroughly pleased with the care that Assatta provided for Joonie. She informed me that she would be willing to watch my dog anytime and I certainly plan on using her again in the future. It was clear that Joonie had the time of his life in Assatta’s care, he came home and instantly went to sleep because he was worn out from having so much fun. Thank you so much Assatta for treating him like your own! ☺️”
