“This was our first time using Rover and Lexie was amazing. The communication was great and the daily picture / videos gave our family peace of mind. It was easy to see that our dog Loki had a great time there playing with the other dogs. We will definitely be using this service again.”
“Aiko is the best! Sometimes it can be hard for my puppy to get adjusted to someone new, but she felt at home with Aiko pretty quickly! When I picked her up the first time, she was content and well-rested. I really appreciate Aiko's communication with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”
“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 have had a dog (childhood puppy at home) my whole life and she is my best friend! I have fostered multiple puppies, some who aren’t potty trained, and have experience overnight sitting. My roommates also love to have furry friends around! I am a full time graduate student with a part time job, but will be home a lot and love to get exercise walking. I also have 5 other roommates who would be happy to help out if I am busy with class. I have a front patio for quality outside time, but it is not fenced. I will be outside with your pet whenever we hang out on the patio, otherwise we will be inside.

“Sydney was so great with our cat! This was our first time leaving our cat for an extended period of time, and Sydney always sent photos with each visit and let us know how our cat was doing. Sydney was also super flexible with us too. If we ever needed a cat sitter again, I would want to book Sydney again!”

“Justine always does a fantastic job. My cat recently needed to start taking medication and she did great giving it to him. He can be a bit temperamental about it. I would highly recommend Justine to anyone looking for cat sitter.”
“My now-husband and I had to go out of town to get married and this was the first time that we had to rely on someone that we weren't close with to watch our kitties. It was imperative that we found someone that would make an effort to get them to warm up to them and that's exactly what Emma did. She was very communicative, always gave our kitties treats and really made an effort with them. It paid off, because even though they were super shy at the beginning of her time with them and hiding in closets, by her last drop in, they were coming out and allowing for her to pet them. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and really put us at ease. We will be using her again in the future!! 10/10!!”
“Peter is an excellent Rover! He is always timely, ha never missed a booking and follows your care instructions to the letter. The pups are always excited when we book Peter, couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Three Cheers for Peter!”

“Teresa did a great job checking on our cat while we were gone. She stayed 30 min giving him pets, cleaning his litter box and checking his food/water. She is a great communicator and even sent us a picture. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”
“Jeffery was so great with my four cats! He made sure to send me updates and pictures every day while I was out of town for thanksgiving. They loved snuggling him and he took great care of my older baby who needed daily meds. Prompt and communicative and very sweet soul!”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of her. I hope she wasn’t too much of a pain. Course if you rub her belly she will love you forever. I will definitely keep you in mind when I need you.”
“Hadley was an amazing sitter for our two cats! We had a last minute booking and she was quick to respond, come by the house and get their care instructions. Every visit she gave us updates and photos and even got our shy kitties to warm up to her. Really enjoyed our vacation with the peace of mind that Snuggie and TJ were in great hands with Hadley. Highly recommended!!”
“Nicole took wonderful care of our cat, Louie, while we were away. We so appreciated her detailed reports and sweet photos. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in all communications, giving us peace of mind that Louie was in very capable hands. We have already re-booked Nicole to cat-sit during another upcoming trip and would highly recommend her to others in need of pet care!”
“Meghan was so kind and helpful with our cats, and went above and beyond even when our Litter Robot messed up. When we came home, the kitties were well taken care of and happy!”
“Beth always takes such good care of our cat when we are away. We cannot recommend her enough! She always knows what he needs and she reports to us all that happens as well. We are always grateful for her care of our cat when we are away and we can always have peace of mind that our pet is in the best hands.”
“Amazing with my kitties! She gave me photos and updates on my boys keeping my mind at ease while out of town. Even helped when they got into some food in the pantry. 10/10 Will be booking again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. Now, I am a dog mom of 3 beauties. I have a 16 yr old shitzu terrier mixed,3 yr old a pit bull , and a 6 months English bull dog! 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.

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.

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.
“Qais was very flexible with my changing schedule. He did a great job watching my dog Marge and gave regular updates throught the day. I would definitely let him watch her in the future.”
“Morgan communicated well in regards to my dogs. She responded immediately to my request. She also kept me updated on my dogs throughout the day. I really appreciate it and I know it was last minute.”
About: I love dogs and care passionately they are having a fun and safe time when with me, which is why so many of my friends and families throughout the years have asked me to take care of their loved ones! I currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your dogos! I'm available to walk dogs from 9:00a-7p everyday of the week. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can crate your dog if needed. Sadly, at this time I have no dogs of my own. :(
“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.”
“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!”
“Chad was very accommodating to our variable timeline. He was super responsive, and sent updates during our dogs visit at his house. Our dog had so much fun being able to go in and out of the doggy door and play in the backyard!”
“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.”
“Maggie was fantastic. We needed someone to watch our dog, Teddy, for part of the day while we were visiting from out of town. Maggie was quick to respond when I initially reached out and made sure she knew everything she would need to take care of our dog for his stay. Teddy can get nervous when we leave him, but Maggie and her dog were the perfect companions for him. Teddy was in a great mood when we picked him up, and we would definitely leave him with Maggie again if we are back in the area.”
“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!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always treated them with all love and care. Dogs and cats both and all kinds. I am a college student using my free time to care for animals, so in between classes, after, and before I’ll be using my time to dog walk, etc. How I care for my pets at home is by giving them attention by playing with them, taking them on long enjoyable walks, making sure they are eating the best and are healthy.
“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 ☺️”
About: I’ve grown up around all types of dogs. I have past experience pet sitting my neighbors 5 dogs and 2 cats overnight for 3 days. I was trusted with walking, feeding, and bathing family, friends, and neighbors pets. I also volunteer at Pawmetto Lifeline Animal Shelter! I’m currently taking an online course at USC from Monday-Thursday from 10:30 am- 2:30 pm. I have a pretty flexible schedule other than having to attend that class on my computer which I do from my apartment. I am very organized, detail oriented, and great at following instructions. Just let me know what needs to be done and I can do it! I live in an apartment off Main Street and love taking walks outside if your pet were to come and stay with me. I am also comfortable coming to your house/apartment to walk, feed, bathe, etc.
“They are absolutely great! We are doing the day care, and the first night Comet (my super SUPER high energy dog) came home tired! He had all day to play and run around. They have a great space for the dogs. Highly recommend! They sent me updates and kept me informed as well.”
About: DROP OFF/PICK UP PROCEDURE: I ask that all pet parents call or text upon arrival, I'll come out to greet you and your pet.

“Jeffery is reliable and communicative. We’ve agreed that he’ll walk Zeek three days a week into the foreseeable future. I k ow Zeek already feels very happy with some uncle Jeffery time!”
About: Ever since I was little, I have always had an animal companion at my side. I have experience with both senior pets with medical needs as well as puppies and kittens less than a year old. Wherever your pet is at in their life, I can handle it. I have a consistent schedule during the week and am available in the early mornings, lunch, and after 5. My weekends are completely free with the exception of Saturday evening when I work as a server. I am calm, gentle, and experienced with many animal personalities. Whether your pet is shy and nervous or bouncing and energetic, I will love them like my own!
“Gracie was a phenomenal sitter! Gracie was a pleasure to work with. She was great with communicating and reliable. She did such an excellent job taking care of my Dasher that I am hoping to get her again for the future.”
“Teresa is wonderful with my elderly girl, Maggie. She watches her to know how she is doing and alters her walks to accommodate Maggie. She’s so loving and caring with her!”
About: I grew up in a house with seven big dogs and three cats, so I am very comfortable handling large breeds and multiple personalities at once. Currently, I have two cats of my own, so I understand firsthand how to care for animals. Over the last four years, I have provided reliable care for both dogs and cats. This includes a three-year period as a go-to sitter for one family’s dog and a full year of dedicated cat-sitting for another. Whether it is sticking to a strict feeding schedule or making sure a high-energy dog gets enough exercise, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am observant, dependable, and will always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I would love to help make sure your pets feel loved and well-cared for. Since I am currently working from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I can easily accommodate mid-day walks, specific feeding times, or provide extra company for pets who do not like being alone. My routine is built around being reliable and available, so I can give your dogs or cats the consistent attention and activity they need to stay happy while you are away. When I am in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining a safe and secure environment for every pet. I grew up in a household with seven large dogs and three cats, so I am very observant of animal body language and potential hazards. I make sure all doors and gates are properly latched, stick strictly to your specific feeding and medication instructions, and provide regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same patience I give my own two cats. Whether it is managing a high-energy breed or a senior pet who needs a gentle touch, I focus on building trust through calm, consistent care and clear communication with you.
About: I have taken care of dogs and puppies since I was ten years old. Many people depend on me because I am both reliable and responsible, and love their pets as if they were my own. I am a college student with a relatively flexible schedule that gives me time to care for your pets throughout the week. I am willing and able to fit your pets’ needs in my routine. I care for pets in my clients home by giving them love and attention as if they were my own. I follow the owners’ instructions very clearly. I feed, water, and give treats according to the owners’ directions with plenty of exercise throughout the day.
About: I’ve grown up around all types of animals, not just cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of my own cat and dog for most of my life and will do anything to give them the love and care all animals need. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina. I love being a student but I also wanted to look into doing something on the side but that’s also fun. I think it’s always extremely important to be respectful of peoples homes. It’s a personal space where people are meant to feel relaxed and be themselves. Respecting my clients home would be top priority along with the care of their pet(s).
About: Over 4 years of dog walking and pet sitting (references gladly available) Skilled in managing high-energy dogs — I love long walks, runs, fetch sessions, and active play Also experienced with senior, fragile, or special-needs dogs, making sure they’re handled gently and safely Volunteered at a local animal shelter in middle school, walking and socializing dogs In high school, volunteered ~1 year at Camden Veterinary Clinic, assisting with animal care, handling, and general support Participated in dog rescue efforts, including fostering, transport, and rehabilitation Comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from overactive pit mixes to nervous small breeds Dependable, responsible, and not squeamish — able to clean up accidents, administer oral medications, or assist with basic care One client often led to many: many bookings come via referrals I'm currently attending school at USC, which leaves me with plenty of time around my classes. With my schedule, I only have class on certain days and am also free on weekends. I follow your instructions and guidance on pet care, while being mindful of your pet's health and well-being. I'm very observant and attuned to when a pet needs affection, exercise, or a bathroom break. I'm not intimidated by high-energy dogs. I've regularly walked and sat for large breeds that require a lot of exercise. I have dealt with "accidents" and administered medicine. I can be as communicative as you'd like, sending photos while you're away to make sure you feel good about your pet.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and every family pet I have had has truly been my best friend. They bring a level of comfort and unconditional love that is impossible to match, which is why caring for dogs and cats has always come naturally to me. I am currently a graduate student, and throughout high school and undergrad, I volunteered weekly at local animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and needs. Back home in Virginia, I have also been pet-sitting for neighbors and friends for the past 10 years, from quick check-ins and walks to overnight stays. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens who need patience and training, as well as senior dogs and cats who require medication and special diets. No matter the pet, I always make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, loved and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently out of school for the summer and working part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. This allows me to accommodate a variety of drop-in visit and walking times, including mornings, afternoons evenings, and weekends. I love being active and spending time with dogs and cats, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine! I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and safe with someone new, so I always prioritize building trust and letting the dog and/or cat get to know me on their own time. I am more than happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure both the pet and the owner feel comfortable and confident. During drop-in visits and walks, it is my priority to follow each pet's routine as closely as possible and adapt to their own unique personality. I know how important safety is, so I will always make sure pets are secure on walks and closely supervised during visits. I also believe communication is key, so I will be sure to send all owners updates and photos for peace of mind while they are away.
“Shanavia made me feel so safe and comfortable. My dog is a little crazy but she was so patient and took the time to understand my dog and train her. She has become my go to walker!”
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: I’ve been talking care of animals my whole life. I have experience with cats, dogs, reptiles and chinchillas. I’ve pet sit for many of my neighbors, friends, and family. I also truly love animals, they are one of the world greatest joys. I’m currently in online classes at midlands tech so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I DoorDash and instacart as other jobs, but those are on my own time. I have a cat that lives in my apartment with me. She has plenty of things to climb and lots of toys. She has a water fountain and an automatic feeder.
About: My entire life I have been taking care of dogs. Since the moment I was born there has always been a dog present. What sets me apart is my personalized approach to dog sitting, with a focus on both physical and emotional well-being. I offer specialized care for puppies, including basic training and socialization, as well as extra attention for senior dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. With experience in handling dogs of all ages, I tailor my services to meet each dog’s unique needs—whether it’s extra playtime, administering medication, or simply providing a calm, loving presence. Your dog will not only be well cared for but also treated like family. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina, so my schedule does change every semester. Currently I have classes from Monday/Wednesday 11:15-2pm, Tuesday/Thursday 10:05-11:30 and Friday 1-2pm. They are back to back classes and I’m only gone for 2.5 hours max at a time. I have a car down here so it’s easy for me to get back and forth quickly. On weekends I have full availability. I live in a dog-friendly home with three responsible roommates who all have experience caring for dogs. While I am the primary caregiver and will handle feeding, walks, and overall supervision, my roommates also love animals and help provide extra company and comfort. I have a spacious upstairs room where dogs can stay comfortably, and both our front and back doors are secure and locked most of the time to ensure safety at all times. I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment to help your dog feel relaxed and at home. My goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where your dog gets plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.
“Nicole is dependable and would definitely use her again. She helped let me know that my dog was having urinary issues too so I could make a vet appointment for the next day and avoid an emergency vet”

Kenneled when I’m not home or not, your pet is welcome here! I work full time but only regular hours. I’ll be home with your pet anytime except 8-5 M-F. Your pets is welcome to roam freely in my home while I’m away. Of course, if you prefer, I can always kennel them while I’m away . I have a large wooded double lot that is fenced in Earlewood. I also love dog walks and our neighborhood is well suited for them. I’d your pup prefers walks to romping in the yard, just let me know. Of course, they’ll also have access to my pet friendly interior. My
