About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have experience caring for family pets on a daily basis. Through feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and companionship, I’ve learned how to understand dogs’ needs and make them feel comfortable and safe. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends dogs on multiple occasions. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to treating every pet with the same care and patience I give my own dogs. I’m currently a college student with a part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. When I’m not in class or at work, I’m usually home and available for walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I’ll always communicate my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them plenty of attention. I grew up with dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for them and know that every pet is different. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Nicole was absolutely amazing this weekend with our orange tabby boy. She checked on him twice a day, stayed for the full 30 minutes, and provided the best updates and pictures with each visit. I get so sad and anxious leaving my fur baby, but definitely felt relief each time she checked on him. She was the best, and we will definitely use her again! -Abbey”
“Kayla was awesome! She dropped in and took care of our kitty in our home for our long trip out of town. She was consistent and communicative and it was clear she cared. She even moved in packages that were left outside of our apt without us asking. Will definitely look to book her in the future.”
“Moe was great. Took great care of our kitties and sent pictures/notes every day so we could see how they were doing. Will definitely look to book Moe again the next time we're out of town.”

I’m asking her to take care of my boys when I’m away again.”

“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.”
“Nicole and Telly are AMAZING!!!! They have helped me and my dogs through an incredibly stressful transition moving across country. They treat my dogs like part of the family! My girls look forward to spending their day with them and their dog Apollo. The dogs wrestle together, bask in the sunshine, roll in the yard and go on long walks. When I pick them up they are POOPED and sleep the whole 20 min back to the Airbnb that we are currently staying in. This is so helpful for one of my dogs who has massive anxiety issues, because she’s too tired to stress about all of the changes we’re going through. Nicole, Telly and their kids truly love animals and are fabulous caregivers! I feel so fortunate to have found them!🙏🏻”
About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
“Qais is the perfect rover! Qais was very kind and compassionate to my dogs needs and had awesome communication skills. Qais send picture and videos as well as daily updates.

“Shannon always takes such great care of my boy. He goes to day care at her house weekly, and is always so excited to jump out of the car and run to her door! He has made a new best friend with her sweet girl! I recommend her over and over, she will treat your baby as her own!”
“Totally amazing! My dog can be slow to warm up to new people but she was able to make him feel comfortable and safe from the first day. I really appreciated the updates as well, would rebook any time I need a sitter.”

“Sebastian and his family were so very kind—and my Jet had a great time with them!! We will definitely call on them for our Rover needs anytime we are visiting Columbia! Thanks for an awesome experience! ❤️”
“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!”
“Aiden enjoyed his stay with Savannah.She was very warm and welcoming and have frequent updates and photos.I will definitely use savannah again the next time i'm in Columbia”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for the past year and a half in my hometown Aiken where I feed, water and give any special needs to dogs and cats. I also have experience pet sitting at peoples homes. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of South Carolina as a biology major.

Take them for walks or any special medicines your pet may have I will be able to give. if there is any special request, I would be happy to talk to you about it.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong commitment to animals through caring for strays, fostering, and rescuing those in need. I have hands-on experience with pets of all kinds and treat each one with the same love and attention as my own. My passion for animals guides everything I do, creating a safe and caring environment they can feel comfortable in. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine, starting with feeding and checking on local strays each morning and evening to ensure they’re safe and healthy. I make time every day to provide food, water, and any needed care, like basic grooming or medical attention. I also stay connected with my pets back home through regular check-ins with family and help coordinate their care, making sure they’re well-fed, loved, and looked after even when I’m away. Dogs: Ensure dogs have regular access to food, clean water, and daily exercise suited to their breed and energy level. Provide consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and mental stimulation through play and training. Monitor their health and behavior, and keep their living area safe and clean. Cats: Maintain a clean litter box, fresh water, and appropriate food tailored to their dietary needs. Offer enrichment with toys, scratching posts, and quiet spaces for rest. Pay attention to their behavior and grooming habits to detect any health concerns early.
“SweetPea is getting not only more exercise (and is healthier as a result!) but also so many new and different places to check out and sniff! Hannah is kind & patient and it’s clear that SweetPea enjoys her Rover-time!!”
“Took great care of my crazy girls while we went on vacation with our newborn!! Dogs really seemed to enjoy her presence and was very nice to not have to worry about them”
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’ve been passionate about caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager. Growing up, I frequently pet sat for family members and close family friends, building a strong foundation in understanding pets’ individual needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve gained professional experience working at several doggy daycares, where I managed groups of dogs, ensured their safety and comfort, and helped them enjoy playtime and socialization. I’ve also provided in-home pet sitting for multiple clients over the past few years, handling everything from daily feedings, walks, and medication administration to play, cuddles, and lots of love. I truly enjoy forming bonds with each pet and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which means I offer flexible and open availability to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s needs. Whether you require drop-in visits or daily walks I’m here to provide reliable support—often with little notice. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness are my top priorities! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while maintaining your home exactly as you left it. Upon arrival, I follow your detailed instructions to the letter—feeding schedules, medication administration, walking routes, play preferences, and any special routines. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level, whether that’s energetic fetch sessions, gentle cuddles, or quiet companionship. I send regular updates with photos and/or videos so you can see your pet is happy and relaxed. I also keep an eye on your pet’s health and behavior, and I’m prepared to contact you or an emergency vet if anything seems off. For your home, I’m respectful and tidy: I secure doors and windows, bring in mail/packages if requested, water plants, take out trash, and leave everything clean and organized. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that feels untouched—giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, giving me 33 years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I recently worked in the pet care industry, which gave me even more insight into providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I personally own a German Shepherd that I trained myself, so I’m confident in handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior pets who need extra love and gentle attention. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they’re my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday routine! I recently moved to Columbia and have the flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and consistency they need—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or longer stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, so dogs enjoy plenty of daily walks and outdoor time. I have a crate of my own if needed for your pet. My own pets are very friendly and social, so visiting animals will always feel welcomed and comfortable. I keep routines consistent, making sure every pet feels at home with lots of love, attention, and playtime. In Your Home: I care for pets just as you would—keeping their routine, environment, and comfort a top priority. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
“While I never met Sofia in person she was very responsive and timely. This was the first time we have entrusted our dog to someone she was not familiar with and we will definitely use Sofia again if she is available!”
“Samira has been a jewel! She is reliable and just an awesome person. Bentley loves her and we will miss her dearly! Thank you Samira for being consistently there for Bentley! You rock!!!”
About: I grew up with indoor pets and learned how to care for my little doggies and bunny rabbit as a child. Over the past several years, I have been trusted by friends, neighbors and family to care for, walk, play with, feed and clean after up their pets. I will be attending dog grooming school in the fall, but my schedule is very flexible. The dog grooming school I attend is predominantly online, therefore allowing flexibility in pet care scheduling. I am available weekdays and weekends and am happy to try and modify my schedule to meet your needs. I try to follow the family’s requests regarding their pet’s routines and needs. In attempt to keep the pet comfortable and happy, I focus on providing feedings, changing water, allowing for outside play and toileting time. I love to play with all types of pets and hope to make them feel safe and secure while their family is away. I look out for the pet’s safety and report any concerning signs of illness/injury back to the family (as needed).
About: I 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!

“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!”
