Personalized care for your dog or cat - Crane Forest

“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!”

Antionette C.

“OMG Nontombe was EVERYTHING I could want and need in a sitter! After dropping my son (dog) off I knew he was in good hands. He could feel her wonderful spirit and I can tell that he thoroughly enjoyed himself. She kept us updated with pics, videos, and messages! I will definitely use Nontombe again!! 10 out of 10 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! She’s the best…..literally!!”

Katrina F.

“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”

Virginia D.

“I needed to board my cat, Simba, and did not want to use my regular pet boarding facility. I usually board him there; however, this time I did not want him in a caged environment. I found Charmaine through Rover, and I am glad I did. I was a little apprehensive at first, but after speaking with her and seeing how attentive she was to Simba’s needs, I felt much more comfortable. Simba is blind and requires extra care, but Charmaine took excellent care of him. She allowed him to roam freely in her home, making him feel comfortable and at ease. Throughout his stay, Charmaine provided regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind. She not only met Simba’s needs but went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well cared for. If anyone is looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Charmaine. My experience with her was outstanding, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.”

“Lindsey and Aaron are our go to dog sitters! They’re always so happy to watch our dog and she loves going to their house! We get lots of updates while we’re gone and I know she is well-loved and taken care of. She gets along great with their sweet dogs and always returns happy once we can finally convince her to come back home with us. I highly recommend you book Lindsay and Aaron the next time you need a dog sitter!”

Sam M.

“They did a great job with my dog and approved our booking on short notice!! Sent lots of pictures and my dog Lucy came home very tired from playing with their pup! Would book again!”

Mallory V.

“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.”

Jasmine P.

“Merrell was an ideal sitter for my dog, Trixie. She communicated well, and sent lots of photos. Her home is neat and clean and she has a large fenced yard. I will definitely ask Merrell to keep Trixie again when I visit Columbia for football games!”

Nancy B.

“Kathy did amazing with my 3 pups. Kept me updated on how they were doing and was very knowledgeable on how to handle my fearful pup. 10/10 will def use again!!!”

Yolanda P.

“The sitters were very receptive to Bo’s needs and requirements during his stay. They messaged multiple photos throughout the boarding. Thank you.”

David W.

“Sebastian is the absolute best! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He was responsive from booking til pick-up. He consistently updated me and sent many pictures of my baby, Caesar. Caesar has daily topical medicine that must be administered and Sebastian had no problem applying it for me. I truly believe Caesar felt like he was at home while in Sebastian’s care. I will absolutely be using his services again.”

Allysa W.

“Lucas was so welcoming and flexible with our plans changing last minute at both drop off and pickup. He was amazing with the dogs and we got so many photos and updates. It was clear he loves what he does and the dogs know it!! Would definitely book with him again next time I’m in town!”

Cheyenne R.

“Assatta was very accommodating. She was very responsive interactive with our Demi! A very loving home and we felt at ease knowing Demi was in good hands. She sent pictures and kept us updated. I will be booking her every time she is available!”

Tahirah C.

“The pups are so tired from all the socializing and walks! Michael is quick to respond and provides updates and pictures. He was very helpful with keeping the pups a few extra hours when my flight was delayed coming back.”

Jaclyn M.

“Sally is the best sitter I have ever had. There is nothing negative to say, only numerous positive comments, some of which include that: Lacie immediately took to Sally & now whines til I get her out of the car at her house, Sally knows the dogs very well so that she chooses which might be introduced with your permission (which has been great for my pet who interacts more with adults), Sally truly cares about the pets and lets me know how Lacie did (with many pictures) during the stay & individualizes activities and procedures to match your & your pet’s preferences/routines & needs. Thank you Sally! It’s good to know that Lacie is in good hands with you!”

Nalty L.

“Orlena. Was amazing with our two year old mini poodle. She kept plenty of videos and pictures coming. She is such a sweetheart. We already spoke with her in regards to another booking.”

Adrian D.

“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 :)”

Jessica F.

“I was nervous at first, because my fur babies never stayed with anyone. But, Janece and Matt made them feel comfortable. Made me feel comfortable by sending me updates, pictures and communicating with me. Will highly recommend.”

Jennifer W.

“Gina was so great with our dog Daisy! We have never used a dog sitter before and were very nervous, especially since Daisy has a lot of anxiety. Gina was so patient and easy to talk to and she send us pictures and updates daily! We will definitely use her again on our next vacation! 😁”

Stephanie B.

“Stacey is an absolutely amazing dog sitter who took wonderful care of our furbabies! They had a fun and comfy stay at Stacey's home as if they were home. We will be using her all the time when we need a dog sitter.”

Mary Lou & Ken C.

“Hannah went above and beyond caring for my cat while I was away for a few day. Her visits were always on time and I got detailed updates after each visit. She spent the entire half hour every visit and managed to win over my very shy cat. I am definitely going to try to book with Hannah any time I travel in the future.”

Joseph B.

“Hannah is so sweet and caring with her check ins! I loved getting photos and updates about what our kitties and fish were up to and how they were doing. I 100% recommend her!”

Amanda P.

About: I have a lot of experience with taking care of all kinds of cats! I have pet sat for three cats. I also have 7 of my own who I help take care of!

“Really appreciated Moe stepping up at the last second after another sitter cancelled. She was reliable and helpful and even managed to get a pic of my very shy kitty. Thank you!”

Erin

“She took great care of Turbo, and made sure to play with his favorite toys! She also sent lots of great photos.”

Bella B.

“I’m so happy that I decided on Nontombe! :) I have booked with them 3x over the past few months, and am always happy with the turnout! They’re always thorough, communicative and friendly to my kitties! I’m sad to be moving out of state, because I’m sure most sitters won’t be able to compete with Nontombe!”

Corey R.

“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”

Chelsea M.

About: I've taken care of many different pets in my life, however, none is more special to me personally than cats. I have a strong and intuitive bond w/ cats and I understand their unique and diverse personalities, as well as their diverse levels of care. Friends and family have trusted me to pet sit for kittens as well as elderly cats. I myself have 3 cat children, and I prefer to sit w/cats in their own environments to make sure they feel safest in their own routines.

“My kitties said we want Katie to watch us again. My kitties were well taken care of and happy when we came home! We got regular updates and would definitely recommend her to watch your pets.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. As a biology student who hopes to become a veterinarian, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule, so I can make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I’ll always communicate with you and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep them in a safe environment, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind.

Sarah M.

About: I have had cats while growing up. I currently have two cats (2 and 4 years old). I have pet sat for both young and old cats. I have experience administering medications and giving special care to cats who need it.

“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!”

Julie F.

“Dominic was great. She was very attentive to the needs of our cats and made every agent to make them feel comfortable. She Keir is updated with the status and when issues arose, Dominic handled them professionally and quickly. She is great and we will request her services again.”

Rallo absolutely adores her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s with her. Caitlin is trustworthy, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend her more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Stephen B.

About: I'm a self-employed pet lover and dog sitter with lots of experience under my belt. I also work part time to make sure my family future is secure. While I don't have any dogs of my own, I will welcome yours with open arms and care for them as if they're mine! I live in a spacious, two story house and have ample room for your pet to play. My yard is fenced in and very secure. Since there are stairs in my house, dogs with hip or back problems may sleep downstairs. I keep a clean home. If it is a faint smell of dog pee, it’s because dogs do use the restroom on my carpet (I am a dog sitter and most dogs do so in my home, especially the “not so potty trained” ones). I make sure to clean up after every service rendered. Stays on day of pick up after 2 pm can occur additional fees. References are available upon request. About this sitter: I have been pet sitting for several years. I love all animals, especially dogs. I am self employed who work from home, which leaves me plenty of time to spend with your dog. I also have a part time job to make sure my family future is secure. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up around them and have been pet sitting for several years. About my yard I have a spacious, fenced-in backyard.

“Ken did a great job, we were informed for our entire trip. He answered all of our questions and handed everything like a pro. 10/10 would book again”

Sadaris C.

About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

About: Hello. I have extensive experience with a variety of animals. As a child I rescued stray cats, dogs, and different wildlife. I've had cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, domesticated rats...literally everything. I currently have 4 rescued ducks, 2 rescued turtles, turkeys and 4 baby tortoises (inside). I have a fenced in yard and numerous references. I do have 4 small kids. I work from home. If a pet is skittish around children, I keep them in my room so there is calmness. I also have a completely seperate room that can be used if they prefer even less human contact. ***PLEASE send a collar and leash when boarding a dog I work from home so your pup would have constant attention as they'd be hanging out with me. I do have a fenced in backyard (it has my outdoor animals it in). If the pup isnt good around farm animal, potty breaks can be on a leash in my front yard I have a fenced in backyard. I am okay with a dog that sleeps in a cage overnight...or not. There's definitely flexibility there if the dog isnt destructive. I will ensure the pup is comfortable and entertained.

“Michel’le is amazing with the fur babies. This was our first time using their day care service. We’ve done an extended stay previously. Again, we are happy we found them for our fur baby. • attentive •responds quickly • flexible • genuine • clean property • super pet friendly inside and out”

Stacy C.

“Hannah was awesome with my dog. She gave me routine updates. On day 2 of her watching him he didn’t even hesitate to get out of the car. I will use her again anytime I need service. I highly recommend her.”

Jordan K.

LaKeesha A.

“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.”

About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I work from home full-time, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel like a home away from home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I'll be available all day to supervise and care for your pet. We'll enjoy playtime throughout the day, along with morning and evening walks, weather permitting. I have a fenced-in yard and a 6-year-old female American Staffy named Lilly. Lilly is very social and gets along great with other dogs and even cats.

About: Hello y’all! I am very experienced in training dogs and caring for dogs, cats, and most other animals. I have a lot of knowledge about dog and cat health, along with other animals (reptiles, birds, horses, etc.), and different breeds. My prior amazing pittie, Bo Peep, was deaf. Thus, I know ASL commands and signs from training her myself. So, I am able to work well with other deaf/hard-of-hearing animals. I’ve been lucky enough to have and/or care for all sorts of animals throughout my entire life, especially growing up as a feral child (haha) in Florida. I always tried to bring animals home (often to my mom’s dismay), and I’ve worked with various animals (e.g. birds of all sizes, reptiles, cats and dogs especially, horses, amphibians, fish, and some other farm animals). I have no problem giving medication or following any medical-related plans. I work with pets of all ages. I look forward to meeting y’all! I am currently a therapist that works remotely from home, so I am able to be with fur babies in-between clients throughout the day to meet their needs. I am very active, so plenty of walks for pups! With dogs and cats, I try to provide them with as much mental stimulation that I can (and maybe a few treats).

“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.”

Rose P.

“Gina was great with our senior dog while we attended a basketball game at USC. She was very responsive and even met us after the game so we could start our drive home sooner. She was responsive and took great care of our baby. Would definitely use again for dog sitting needs. Thanks Gina!”

“My dog had a great time with Qais! Qais sent photos throughout the day and kept me up to date with my dog's stay. I will definitely be using him again!”

“Janea was amazing, this was my first time using Rover let alone a dog walker. I had a knee replacement and needed someone to take care of my spoiled pup. Did a met and greet it went great. First try Chase would init leave the yard. Janea was determined to get the job done. She asked if she could drive him away from the house. She did and it worked. If you are considering or on the fence think again Janea is really down to earth and I can tell she honestly loves what she does. I’m now able to walk my dog, but will continue to have Janea walk chase for a few more weeks. He’s really bonded with hey her over the past few weeks.”

Robin L.

About: 30+ years loving and caring for all types of fur babies! I've been around animals most of my life so it is second nature to me to take care of and love on them! Do you want someone not just to feed but also love your pets? I am currently between jobs and as such an available 24/7 at the moment. I have recently applied to some full time jobs, so that may update soon. In home the pets stay indoors unless needing to potty. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to roam and play. At times when we are out of the house the (dogs) would be on the covered back porch with water and full access to the fenced in yard.

“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.”

Tyler S.

“Sasha is a great Rover walker and I highly recommend her services to anyone! My dog Hazel is very shy with everyone she meets, but she immediately took a liking to Sasha and now every time she comes by to take Hazel on a walk, Hazel looks ecstatic in every picture that Sasha sends me from the walks. It makes me happy to know that my dog is in good hands while I'm away during the day, so I highly recommend booking her for any of your pet needs.”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who's had dogs my entire life, I can’t imagine living without one! I've also cared for friends’ and family members’ cats, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions, I love making sure pets feel happy and loved while their humans are away. :) I work mostly evenings at a restaurant so I have a pretty flexible schedule. The shifts are only about 5 hours long so I am very available to care for your animals in between. I am a very neat person, I always leave everything as I found it or better. I know how particular pets can be, and when owners are away it’s very important to keep their routine so they don’t feel uncomfortable or upset. If there’s any special thing I would need to do to reassure your pet, I’m happy to do it!

“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!”

“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.”

“Merrell was an ideal sitter for my dog, Trixie. She communicated well, and sent lots of photos. Her home is neat and clean and she has a large fenced yard. I will definitely ask Merrell to keep Trixie again when I visit Columbia for football games!”

“Kathy did amazing with my 3 pups. Kept me updated on how they were doing and was very knowledgeable on how to handle my fearful pup. 10/10 will def use again!!!”

Yolanda P.

“The sitters were very receptive to Bo’s needs and requirements during his stay. They messaged multiple photos throughout the boarding. Thank you.”

“Sebastian is the absolute best! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He was responsive from booking til pick-up. He consistently updated me and sent many pictures of my baby, Caesar. Caesar has daily topical medicine that must be administered and Sebastian had no problem applying it for me. I truly believe Caesar felt like he was at home while in Sebastian’s care. I will absolutely be using his services again.”

“Lucas was so welcoming and flexible with our plans changing last minute at both drop off and pickup. He was amazing with the dogs and we got so many photos and updates. It was clear he loves what he does and the dogs know it!! Would definitely book with him again next time I’m in town!”

Cheyenne R.

“Assatta was very accommodating. She was very responsive interactive with our Demi! A very loving home and we felt at ease knowing Demi was in good hands. She sent pictures and kept us updated. I will be booking her every time she is available!”

Tahirah C.

“The pups are so tired from all the socializing and walks! Michael is quick to respond and provides updates and pictures. He was very helpful with keeping the pups a few extra hours when my flight was delayed coming back.”

“Sally is the best sitter I have ever had. There is nothing negative to say, only numerous positive comments, some of which include that: Lacie immediately took to Sally & now whines til I get her out of the car at her house, Sally knows the dogs very well so that she chooses which might be introduced with your permission (which has been great for my pet who interacts more with adults), Sally truly cares about the pets and lets me know how Lacie did (with many pictures) during the stay & individualizes activities and procedures to match your & your pet’s preferences/routines & needs. Thank you Sally! It’s good to know that Lacie is in good hands with you!”

“I was nervous at first, because my fur babies never stayed with anyone. But, Janece and Matt made them feel comfortable. Made me feel comfortable by sending me updates, pictures and communicating with me. Will highly recommend.”

Jennifer W.

“Gina was so great with our dog Daisy! We have never used a dog sitter before and were very nervous, especially since Daisy has a lot of anxiety. Gina was so patient and easy to talk to and she send us pictures and updates daily! We will definitely use her again on our next vacation! 😁”

“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Onesty H.

“Harvey and Cooper had a blast. Hannah was wonderful always let me know how the boys were doing and sent me tons of pictures. I really appreciate you checking in the night after we pick the boys up.”

Yenith Caroline G.

“I chose Lexie as my dogs sitter the first time I used Rover. I felt very comfortable with her during our first meeting. I appreciated how she took notes to make sure our baby would be safe in her care. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were out of town. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs. She is fantastic!”

Cynthia R.

“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.”

Jessica R.

“Our dogs had a great time with Debbie. I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs with her as she has a good interview process and I got the feeling that she accepts dogs that would get along with one another. She sent lots of photos during the stay too and the dogs looked like they were having the best time. Our pickup plan changed last minute and she was very flexible with us which we appreciated.”

Rachel E.

“Kendra is great and an absolute life saver. I experienced a leak in my apartment in the middle of the night and was told that I must evacuate for the next day. I hit Kendra up about 12-1am about services for that day and she replied by 6am the next morning! She was great with my cat, Cheeks. She has a beautiful home that I felt comfortable leaving my cat with her. She’s kind, prompt with responses, and even sent pictures of my pet throughout the day. I would recommend her services and I will be using her again!”
