“First time boarding my pup and Lexie made it a great process. Amazing facility and attention to care. Got updates daily. Will definitely go through her again if I need boarding services.”
“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.”
“Walle has such a wonderful time with Whitney and Ryan! Once he realized where we were going he was so excited! I hate to leave him but it’s made way easier know he is well looked after”
“Kathy was great! She took wonderful care of my dog while my partner and I were on vacation overseas. She has several sweet natured dogs and my dog had so much fun playing with them. Kathy also sent daily updates with sweet photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place to leave their pet.”
“So happy! My dog was able to experience comfort and excitement while on my trip .. Ms. Nikki constantly sent photos and videos and informed me about the changes in my dog. Thank you once again from myself and Marley !”
“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!”
“Fantastic environment for King as he enjoys himself and feels like home. They really take care of your pets and I will continue to use them in the future.”
“Kristen was able to take on boarding our pup last minute and was very communicative and sent multiple updates throughout his stay with her! We picked up a happy, tired dog. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you sooo much for your patience with TipsCee as she is the shyest but sweetest dog ever and even tho it took the whole 4 days before she really came out of her shell, you remained just as patient, loving & caring as she needed. The multiple daily pics & videos brought comfort to me. We will see you again soon. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU 🙏🏽”
“She was great! She constantly communicated and updated me everyday with how my boys were doing and they were very happy with her. I will definitely be using her again, she’s wonderful with my boys!”
“Veronica is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My dog was so comfortable with her and I could enjoy my time away knowing she was well taken care of. I received regular updates and pictures and Veronica immediately let me know when she suspected my dog had a UTI. She even made little treats for the dogs for Thanksgiving (she did ask permission to give them first). ❤️ Will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Chad was absolutely wonderful and Beatrice had the best time with him and his family. He took great care of her and sent regular updates on how she was going and how she was settling in. Definitely recommend!”
“Honey has stayed with Cory and Stacey before and has a great time with them. They send pictures that show that she is comfortable with them in their home. I don’t worry about her, I know she is well taken care of.”
About: I’ve owned animals since a young child and love them! I am first aid and CPR certified and dedicated to providing safety and comfort to any animals I visit. I love animals and your pets are safe with me! I work flexible hours and can easily handle any requests! I can accommodate most anything you or your pets would need. I am centrally located and efficient as well. I have a fenced yard and one dog that is used to others. My home is a safe space for animals. My yard is safe, clean and a great space to run and play in.
“Kasey was amazing!! I needed a sitter last minute and she was more than accommodating! She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures and updates, which made me feel more at ease. I would highly recommend her!”
“This was my doggies third stay with Michael. As always, everything was great. My babies always have a great time when they stay with him. I can’t recommend him enough!!! Thanks for everything.”

“Nicole was absolutely awesome! She was very quick to respond and took care of our wonderful fur babies and the medicines they needed. She not only took care our fur babies but she also makes sure to give you a detailed report on every visit which brings a sense of comfort! I definitely recommend her!”
“Heidi did a fantastic job while my husband and I were out of town. My kitties were happy and fed. I got daily pictures of them. I will be using Heidi in the future and recommend her to anyone on Rover.”
“Somiya maintained wonderful communication with me during the visit! We had a new kitten that needed special care and monitoring and she did a such an amazing job! I would recommend her services to anyone I know!🥰”
“Jada was so helpful! Checking on our cat and sending updates during the booked dates. She made our time away much less stressful, with not having to worry about our pet at home.”
“Isaiah is such a blessing. Isaiah was quick and easy to communicate with. (ProTip: message from the Rover app directly, not the SMS text that you get from Rover.) Isaiah quickly made a plan to come over and meet my 3 Maine Coon Cats. He asked all of the right questions, things I didn't even think of. We made a plan for next month, but when a last minute weekend trip came up, Isaiah was right there for us. He sent Great Pics of our kitties and I could tell they were very comfortable with him. When we've left the kitties all alone for 48 hours once before, it took days for them to relax into their regular personalities after we returned. Not the case when Isaiah cared for them. They were chill and happy, as usual. I know that he cared for them and gave them lots of pets and brushes. Isaiah is a Top Notch and Trustworthy Caregiver.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals - cats, specifically - since I can remember! I come from a long line of cat lovers, and I’ve done everything from neighborhood cat sitting to specialized care in the neonatal kitten unit of my local Animal Care and Control. I volunteer with two cat shelters and foster cats and kittens, alongside having two cats of my own. I am experienced giving medicine to cats, as well. I can't wait to show your kitty the love they deserve!
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.
“I had a wonderful experience! Gracie is amazing, my cats were cared for with so much love, patience, and professionalism. I received updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter”
“Molly is exceptional! She took great care of my senior cat during her drops ins and was respectful of our home. Molly always made sure our fur-child had everything she needed including some extra pats and treats and provided us with a ton of updates an photos. Would recommend!”
“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.”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was 10 years old for friends, neighbors, and family members. I am comfortable will all cats no matter their age. I have previously worked for a small pet sitting business as both a pet sitter and office manager. I, myself, have an older calico cat that takes medicine daily; I am very comfortable administering medicine to cats.
“Nour is a gem! She is an experienced cat caregiver, but we feel very comfortable having her look after our dogs, too! She sent us wonderful pictures of our kitties during her recent drop-ins. Even our most shy cat came out to play while she was here, which really impressed us. We feel very fortunate to have found Nour, and so relieved that we have found someone so professional and caring to look after our kiddos while we are away!”
About: I own 2 cats, Maverick and Goose! I found Maverick at 6 weeks old, so I have experience with kittens who need medication and extra attention. I adopted Goose, so I understand the temperament with rescue kitties, as well as the shyness and/or vulnerability they feel around new people.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I’ve been a little girl, I got my own dog when I was around 11. I’ve been the main caretaker of him and I absolutely love it. He brings me so much happiness and I wouldn’t trade him for the world. My friends and family have also depended on me to watch, walk, feed, and even wash their pets occasionally. I think pet care fits perfectly for my daily/weekly routine because I’m a college student and it’s hard to find a job that wants my type of availability and since the summer is coming up I wanted to earn money while doing something I’m already good at and love. I always try to make to recreate a similar environment that the pet is use to. I can try and crate them if needed, or be interactive with them if that’s something they enjoy.

“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.”

I have a pet-friendly house with a privacy fence, so your pet has plenty of space to play and relax safely. I’ll be giving them lots of love and care. I have an extra-large crate available if your dog needs one for any reason.
“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: 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.

Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I’ve developed a deep bond and passion for their care. My pet care service is rooted in love and experience, ensuring your dog receives the attention, companionship, and tailored care they deserve. Trust that your beloved pet will be in capable and caring hands. I just graduated from the University of South Carolina and I am currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! In clients' homes, I maintain their pets' routines to minimize stress, providing familiar surroundings and personalized care. I offer regular updates, engage in playtime, and ensure all safety measures are in place. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and secure.
“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!”
“Caroline was a gem we are so thankful we were able to find her with such short notice since we were in town for my brothers army graduation and glad she was able to work with us and our fur baby. We can tell Toby( our fur baby) just had an amazing time with her and the other pups she was very appreciative to him and updated us throughout his day. Will definitely be booking with her again if we come back into town.”
“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.”
“Teia had a great time and came home ready for a nap. Lyndsay sent beautiful pictures which we will treasure. And really appreciate her flexibility and agreeing to our last minute request for daycare. See you soon!”

About: I have been around pets all my life. Volunteered as a foster mom for the humane society and took home pets that needed medication given to them. Been around active dogs like Dalmatians and Australian Shepherds as well as older, docile dogs. Did puppy training classes when I raised my Australian shepherd. I work full time so if you request a booking with me I may send you back a message with the hours I work during that time frame. I've also lowered my rates below Rovers "suggested" numbers and made it to where you can "potentially" book me last minute (If my schedule works for you, obviously). I would love to be that sitter that is helping out someone who maybe had a sitter cancel at the last minute or you had an unexpected event happen and didn't really have it in the budget to hire a pet sitter on top of everything else. Or you are just a frugal gal/guy like me and don't think it should break the bank to hire someone to watch your fur children 😊 I can crate your pets when needed, take them on walks, can administer medications if needed. I work well with lists or rules set out to follow for your pets best care in your home.
“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.”

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.

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 have never had a time in my life where I have never had a dog, so I am more than familiar with dog care. I have been relied upon for walks, feeding, playtime, and medicine distribution for both family dogs and friends’ dogs. I am a university student with a flexible schedule, but I do go home to work and over the summer. I would love to help you take care of your sweet fur babies whenever you need me! I have a fenced in yard where my two dogs are able to romp around a little bit and have good space to go to the bathroom. I also have a pool in the yard so they are able to swim and cool down. I adore spending quality time with dogs, so I love to hang out with them inside and play that way. I take dogs on walks at the very least once a day, weather permitting. When I am gone for a day, I take my dogs to Evergreen Pet Lodge, where they take incredible care of them and socialize until I can pick them up.
About: I have over three years of hands‑on experience caring for animals through rescue work, fostering, and running my own small home‑based refuge. I’m also a Certified Veterinary Assistant, which means I’m trained in safe handling, medication administration, senior care, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness.I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs — from confident, easygoing dogs to shy, anxious, reactive, or medically fragile animals. I’m extremely patient and calm, and I always tailor my approach to each pet’s personality.What sets me apart is the level of experience I bring from rescue work. I’m used to managing routines, enrichment, special diets, mobility support, and behavior quirks. I treat every pet like an individual and make sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable.Whether your pet needs slow introductions, extra reassurance, structured walks, or a gentle, steady presence, I’m confident and experienced in providing the kind of care that helps them relax and enjoy their time with me. Pet care is already a built‑in part of my daily life. I run a small home‑based animal rescue and I’m a certified veterinary assistant, so caring for animals is part of my morning and evening routine every single day.I’m used to structured schedules, medication timing, feeding routines, enrichment, and making sure every animal gets the attention they need. Because I’m already out and about with my own dogs, adding walks or drop‑in visits fits naturally into my day.Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check‑in, or an evening visit, I’m consistent, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. Safety is always my first priority. As a certified veterinary assistant and the founder of a small home‑based rescue, I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs.When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly — feeding, medications, potty breaks, crate time, and any house rules you have in place. I always double‑check doors, gates, and locks, and I never take risks with safety.For walks, I use secure leashing, avoid unsafe areas, and pay close attention to body language and surroundings. I don’t allow off‑leash time unless it’s in a fully fenced yard with your permission.My goal is to make your pet feel safe, calm, and understood while keeping your home secure and respected. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give to the animals in my rescue.
About: Growing up I've always loved animals. I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember between watching neighbors/friends pets to having a couple of my own. I have a pretty open availability especially during the weekends. If anything just let me know and I’m willing to try my best to work around your fur babies schedule. I will always treat your fur baby like my own! If it’s nice outside we can spend the day out at the dog park or just going for a good long walk. Otherwise they can join my pets and I on the couch for a lazy day in.
About: I am a pet lover and very active person. I would love to provide services to you and your family, while also allowing myself time to stay fit and active. I have a Siberian Husky of my own that I take for 2 mile runs daily. I have also worked in social services for several years. I am easy to reach by telephone and can assist you in whatever way possible. Each service listed here is quite descriptive but I can also discuss them with you if you have any questions. You will not be disappointed once you book me. My pet car experience and special skills set me apart from other sitters and walkers. Your pet will show the difference once they board or walk with me!

“First time boarding my pup and Lexie made it a great process. Amazing facility and attention to care. Got updates daily. Will definitely go through her again if I need boarding services.”
“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.”
“Walle has such a wonderful time with Whitney and Ryan! Once he realized where we were going he was so excited! I hate to leave him but it’s made way easier know he is well looked after”
“Kathy was great! She took wonderful care of my dog while my partner and I were on vacation overseas. She has several sweet natured dogs and my dog had so much fun playing with them. Kathy also sent daily updates with sweet photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place to leave their pet.”

“Thank you sooo much for your patience with TipsCee as she is the shyest but sweetest dog ever and even tho it took the whole 4 days before she really came out of her shell, you remained just as patient, loving & caring as she needed. The multiple daily pics & videos brought comfort to me. We will see you again soon. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU 🙏🏽”

“Oralee always takes such good care of my dogs. It’s a good feeling when you can go away and know that your dogs are being loved and playing with their doggy friends and that they are having so much fun. I love the pictures she sends daily. They help the kids not miss them so much. I highly recommend Oralee. I’m so grateful I found her.”
“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.”
