“Hallie was amazing! We needed a place for Zoey to go at the last minute because my mother-in-law was admitted to the Hospice house and Hallie willingly took her in and took amazing care of her. It gave us the peace of mind we needed. Zoey settled right in at her house and was very content when we picked her up. I would highly recommend Hallie and we will certainly use her again.”
“Lauren is amazing! She watched my two dogs last minute, followed their feeding and medication schedule, took them on walks, and sent lots of photos and updates.

Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”
“Audrey was honestly the best. Our cat Nova had a great time and was obviously very cared for. Audrey had great and fast communication, kept us in the loop constantly. She also gave us lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime of dedicated animal experience, combined with the discipline and reliability of my military service. I’ve been a devoted dog owner since the age of 13, giving me a full decade of hands on familiarity with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Beyond household pets, I bring a unique level of capability honed by my time as a farmhand, where I gained invaluable experience caring for a variety of animals on a working ranch. This background ensures I’m not only comfortable and confident managing larger breeds or those requiring specific routines, but I also approach pet care with a heightened sense of responsibility, awareness, and maturity. When you entrust your furry family member to me, you’re hiring someone with instinct, professionalism, and genuine love that comes from a life spent caring for animals. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at any given time. This practice allows me to perfectly integrate their specific feeding, walking, and play schedules into my daily routine, ensuring every pet receives my full focus and attention, just as if they were my own. Whether caring for your companion in your home or mine, my primary goal is consistency and comfort. I seamlessly integrate your pet’s needs into my structured military before and after shift schedule ensuring highly reliable timings for feedings, walks, and medications to provide a stress free experience. While I am at work, your pet will have a secure, restful environment, and my off duty hours are completely dedicated to their enrichment. If I stay in your home, I treat your property with complete respect. My ranch background guarantees I’m adept at subtle health monitoring, so you can be confident your pet is not only receiving plenty of focused cuddles but is also safe, stable, and well-cared for at all times.
About: I have over 13 years of experience as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive knowledge of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m experienced in administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every pet like family and provide compassionate, personalized care for pets of all ages and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full time, but I am available for morning and evening visits throughout the week and have additional availability on weekends. I make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection they need, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my clients’ homes, I strive to maintain their pet’s normal schedule with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m experienced in administering medications and caring for pets with special needs when needed. I always prioritize safety and closely monitor for any signs of illness or stress. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving loving, reliable care while they’re away.

She has a great set up for the dogs, sent lots of great photos. They would have been fine staying longer and I would definitely ask her to have them again. Thanks so much, Lindsay, for a great experience!”
“Sheila and her dogs were a perfect match for our high energy lab. She sent pictures and updates each day and he became quickly at home with her family.

I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Carters Crossroads
About: Hi there! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My background includes working in both veterinary and pet insurance settings, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with all types of medical needs and administering medications safely and correctly (oral, topical, injectable, and more). I am also comfortable with other critters as needed on a case by case basis. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Equine Science and Companion Animals, and I’ve dedicated my time outside of my 9-5 to helping pets live happy, healthy lives. I currently have two dogs and a cat, a turtle, a tortoise, and 5 fish tanks. This is an animal loving home without a doubt. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member behind when you travel or need extra help. My goal is to make things easier by providing reliable, compassionate care you can trust, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. For boarding, that means I’m able to give them as much or as little attention as they want. Whether they’re social snugglers or prefer their own space. I keep a calm, comfortable environment and make sure their needs are always met. While we do have other animals in the home, I am able to provide a private place for your pet if needed, and typically do dedicate one private space for any cat boarders. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also easily fit in drop-in visits before or after work, ensuring pets get reliable care and consistent routines. Pet care naturally fits into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. All animals must be dog and cat friendly. If you're boarding a cat, they will NOT have access to our cat since they're a bit more difficult to socialize. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where the animal can feel safe and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible regarding feeding times, litter maintenance, playtime, and quiet time! I also make sure they get the right balance of attention and independence based on their personality. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would my own. I pay close attention to any specific instructions for feeding, medications, or enrichment, and always take time to make pets feel loved and secure while their people are away. Communication is key for me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind every step of the way.
About: I worked for 4 years as a med tech and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I have a lot of experience giving medicine and fluids if your dog needs any special care.

I have always loved caring for animals and enjoy giving them as much attention as I can. I live in a more rural area with a big yard that is fenced. I go running with my youngest dog everyday and love going out and exercising with the pups. All my animals are treated like my children and I give them everything they want. Thanks for considering me, I'm sure I will make your pets feel like one of my own! I work part time helping out with a dog daycare a few days a week and the rest of my time is spent at home with the pups! I have 2 fenced areas to be able to separate any dogs that may need to be and multiple indoor areas for them. If they are used to being crated at night/when you’re out just let me know. I have large crates for them if they do or plenty of beds and if they don’t!

Inquiry on sitting to set up exotic care as well. I work full-time from home and can take lunch/breaks as needing for walking and running to your home for breaks. There is another full time adult in home as well. We have 4 cats, 1 dog and 1 reptile so animal care is constant in my home. All animals are fixed and up to date on shots. We have a fenced in yard and we still go out with our large hound. One of our cats is indoor/outdoor. All of our pets are fixed and have rabies vaccination up to date.

“I really appreciate Chelsea taking such good care of my dog! She kept me updated with what was going o. Throughout the day. I can tell that Sadi really loved being there with Chelsea’s family .”
“This was my first time using a sitter. My baby had separation anxiety and is afraid of everything, but I know she's in good hands with Ashleigh. She was patient and careful introducing my 10 pound chihuahua to her great dane. My little baby gets so excited when I drop her off. They go to the park all the time. Thank you Ashleigh!”
“Kate was fantastic! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. With her training background, we knew she could handle our five month old Malinois mix and having other dogs was great for socializing. She sent us photos throughout the day and we know she and her family took great care of Mali while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kate again!”
About: I’ve spent over 20 years surrounded by paws, whiskers, and wagging tails, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life. From newborns, playful puppies, curious kittens, confident adults, and sweet seniors who just want extra snuggles. At home, I have a full furry crew: two huskies, two cats, and eight dachshunds. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines is second nature to me and there’s never a dull moment, and I love it. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with whelping and newborn puppies. I’ve helped deliver two dachshund litters and raised those tiny beans from birth until they headed off to their forever families. It taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to spot what a pet needs before they can tell you themselves. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle cuddles, or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I work a full-time job, but I have plenty of flexibility to schedule visits around your pet’s routine. I’m able to do morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and clean-up they need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to build my schedule around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. My priority is creating a calm, secure environment so they can relax while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication needs, preferred toys, and any house rules you have in place. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can approach them gently and respectfully. During visits, I make sure your home stays safe and tidy. I double-check doors, crates, and gates; ensure food and water are fresh; and keep the space clean, especially around litter boxes and feeding areas. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
“We were visiting Tifton, GA for a few days and wanted to find a sitter where our 2 year old active black lab could run and play and enjoy the day while we were sight-seeing. I requested the stay the day before and Michelle responded to my request within 15 minutes! Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!”
“Sarah is awesome!!!!!! My dog Malibu is at ease with her and her dog Rosie which is very important to me. I can tell that Sarah genuinely loves dog and hence will not hesitate to use her over and over again. Marie and Malibu”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

About: I have been raised alongside animals all my life. I've had dogs for as long as I remember ranging from pitbulls to great danes, and from chihuahuas to jack russells. I'm actually attending school to become a veternarian due to my unwavering attention of animals of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a parent and a pet owner myself, our home is always filled with love and structure. We specialize in boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits, so your pup will instantly become a part of our routine. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a massive open field perfect for leashed exploration, long-line fetch, and active outdoor time! Whether socializing with my dog, playing with my child, or running in the field, your pup will be safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a working parent who is also in school, our home operates on a reliable, structured routine built around my baby's schedule and my daily commitments.

Please note that I may not always be able to respond to text messages immediately while I am in class or focused on work, but I will always check in and provide updates as soon as I am free! Because our days are busy, your pup will get a highly active experience—on days when I am completely washed with school or work activities, I often bring my guest pets along with me so they get extra socialization, stimulation, and real-world fun! My Care Standards: Boarding & Daycare (In My Home): Guest pets enjoy supervised playtime with my dog, kid-friendly interactions, and leashed outdoor exercise in our large open field. All guest dogs must be friendly with children and other pets. House Sitting (In Your Home): My house sitting service is primarily an overnight stay focused on evening companionship and morning routines, supplemented by a reliable midday check-in rather than constant 24/7 care. Drop-In Visits: I provide reliable, structured check-in blocks tailored around my daily routine to ensure consistent potty breaks, meals, and companionship in your pet's own home.I prioritize clear communication, strict safety, and a predictable routine for every pet in my care!
About: As a dedicated animal lover with a family legacy of operating three successful boarding and grooming kennels in Maryland, I am passionate about providing exceptional animal care. With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life! I currently have a 2 year old and a 4 month old at home! I’ve grown up with dogs and I occasionally will watch my friends dogs when they go out of town! I have experience with administering oral medications. I am open to walking and bathing upon owners request! I never leave my house so my pets get consistent schedules of eating playing and going for walks and I would love to add your pets too! I have a fully fenced in backyard. I do have an extra crate if your pets are crated trained or need to be crated for any reason. My pets are crate trained.
About: I’ve spent over 20 years surrounded by paws, whiskers, and wagging tails, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life. From newborns, playful puppies, curious kittens, confident adults, and sweet seniors who just want extra snuggles. At home, I have a full furry crew: two huskies, two cats, and eight dachshunds. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines is second nature to me and there’s never a dull moment, and I love it. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with whelping and newborn puppies. I’ve helped deliver two dachshund litters and raised those tiny beans from birth until they headed off to their forever families. It taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to spot what a pet needs before they can tell you themselves. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle cuddles, or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I work a full-time job, but I have plenty of flexibility to schedule visits around your pet’s routine. I’m able to do morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and clean-up they need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to build my schedule around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. My priority is creating a calm, secure environment so they can relax while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication needs, preferred toys, and any house rules you have in place. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can approach them gently and respectfully. During visits, I make sure your home stays safe and tidy. I double-check doors, crates, and gates; ensure food and water are fresh; and keep the space clean, especially around litter boxes and feeding areas. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
About: I have grown up in a household full of animals. I’ve always been the kid to stop and help an animal. I love watching animals aswell as trying to teach them tricks ! I am a babysitter and figured this could also be a fun task with something i enjoy doing as a broke college student. Feel free to reach out and contact me for more information ! 🩷 I’m currently a freshmen in college but can work with your schedule as long as you can work with mine ! Weekends would preferably work better but I can work with you ! I currently do not accept at home sitting due to me not owning my own house. However when I get my own place I will ! I can crate or take them out whenever is needed
About: I have always had animals growing up - dogs & cats. I love to take dogs outside on walks & play with them whenever need be. I also love cats as well & currently own four of my own. I am very responsible and caring of any animal, and I would love to take care of your animal! I currently work full time as an occupational therapist. I started doing Rover while in graduate school and loved it! Although I am more busy with work these days, I still love to watch animals whenever I get the chance on the weekends. Disclaimer for house sitting: As much as I love watching your animals, I also need to be able to run errands. While I will ensure your animals are well taken care of…if you animal cannot tolerate being left alone for 4-5 hours during the day I kindly ask you request somebody else. Thank you! I take directions very well & will do anything necessary to ensure your animal is well cared for and safe. I understand that each pet is different, so I take this into consideration into pet sitting any animal. Just tell me your expectations & I will make sure to meet them!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, most recently I adopted my own Australian Shepherd who I love and care for dearly. I’ve had over 50 animals since childhood, most of which we raised and then sent off to their forever homes. I am currently working part time so I am able to work on short notice if the need arises. Just let me know when and where you need me. :) At home I have my own dog, and a dog friendly cat. They can both be described as my whole heart, so if your puppy likes making friends!
About: I have been taking care of dogs about 8 years. I usually walk them, take them to the park, or bring them over to my house to socialize with my dogs. I work a full time job from M-F, so my availability are open any time after 6p M-F, and I’m open on the weekends all day. I have a big fenced in yard that two of my dogs run in, in a quiet little neighborhood. Outside water bowls and outside toys. I have doggy gates if needed.
