“You know your dog is happy with your sitter when you go the next time and he pulls on his leash to get into her house! We are so happy with Shawna’s care of Rufus while we were away. Also we were very thankful she noticed a hotspot under his armpit and got him well on the way to recovery before we returned. Rufus will definitely be back! 😊”
“Andre is amazing! She and her family go above and beyond to take care of our dog. They make him feel at home. Our dog loves playing with her dogs and kids. We are repeat clients and will continue booking with Andre whenever we can.”
“Apollo had such an amazing time at Ben’s playing with their dog, Lily, this weekend. I really enjoyed receiving photos of them playing throughout the weekend. We will definitely book stays with them again in the future!”
“Poppi enjoyed her stay with Tara! Everyday the pictures and commentary Tara sent showed a busy and happy dog! I would gladly recommend Tara; she is a devoted dog 🐕 person.”
“Our recent stay for Sam with Madison was our first time using the Rover app. Wow! We could not have asked for more -- it genuinely blew us away how great the experience was! Madison was a tremendous host for Sam -- extremely responsive on the message app; very courtesy and friendly with the drop-off of Sam; provided photos/video and daily recaps of Sam's stay; and was flexible and willing to accommodate us to our convenience on pick-up. Not only have we found the Rover app to be easy to navigate and efficient with the information it provides -- we have found Madison to be an All-Star Sitter, that frankly probably provided better care for Sam than he receives on a weekly basis at home! Genuinely very impressed and appreciative of Madison and the Rover platform.”
“We had a great experience Carrington! It was obvious that my pup was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection from her. I also appreciated the photo updates she sent throughout the day. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Megan was available last minute after having trouble getting a sitter. She kept us updated with pictures everyday. Our boy came back happy & tired. I will be using her again in the future! Thank you!”
“Jen demonstrated remarkable compassion and care for our dogs throughout their stay, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for their initial boarding experience, reminiscent of their daily life. We enjoyed receiving daily updates with photos of our dogs while we were away.”
“Michelle is very accommodating and does a great job looking after the safety of your pup. I was pleased to see she verified that pups were up-to-date on shots and had a good temperament for a happy boarding with her dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Heather was amazing! Our dog Sport had the best time while we were away for a week! Heather was a blessing to our family! She sent us daily updates with pictures and she was very loving to Sport, he also had a great time with the other dogs, which were very nice! Heather is great at her job, we are thankful we booked with her for the first time, and we will do it again!!! We recommend her 100% 👍 The Barnes family”
“Kashawna was kind, responsive, loving, and exactly what my four legged kid needed! Our baby is high maintenance with insulin twice a day, pain meds once a day, and snuggles all day. Kashawna and her family loved on her and took great care of her while I was on vacation. 10/10 recommend!”
“I genuinely could not have had a better experience. The kindness and care of Dorothy and her family beats any kind of care facility by a massive margin. 10/10 for sure and I look forward to booking again!”
“Left our two large and active dogs with Garrett for a week while we went on vacation! They had the best time, we got pictures and updates everyday, and picked up clean dogs that were absolutely exhausted! We will definitely be looking to board with Garrett in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our golden with Fabienne! She is such a sweet individual and obviously has a passion and love for animals. She updated us often with pictures and videos to see how he was doing. He had so much fun! We will definitely book with Fabienne again!”

“This was the first time I’ve ever hired anyone to watch my older cat Snoopy. Shawna did a great job. She checked in at the timeframe we discussed and took pictures so I could see Snoopy doing well. I will definitely be using Shawna again in the near future.”
“If you are looking for a house/pet sitter who is conscientious, deeply compassionate, and thoroughly professional, look no further than Kimberly. She treated our home with the utmost respect and went above and beyond to keep our baby girl Abby Rose safe, loved, and entertained. The proactive communication and daily photo updates were wonderful and allowed us to truly relax on our trip. We will definitely be booking again with Kimberly for our next vacay!”
“This sitter was awesome! We received pictures every day knew our older kitty was being well taken care of. We came home to a clean litter box and a swept floor! And a happy kitty! We are so thankful and will definitely try to book him again!”
“Kimry went above and beyond taking care of my two cats while I was out of town. She was super easy to get in contact with and sent great updates on her visits. If you’re looking for a reliable friendly sitter, you’ve found it!”
“Katherine arrived on time everyday and made sure that my babies got their play time in. So glad that my pets got that extra love! I do wish that she had paid some attention to the litter box. But I can tell that she has all the makings of a great pet sitter. I would hire her again.”
“Kate got along really well with my cat. She was thorough, spent plenty of time playing with my cat, qnd would regularly update me about my pet. Great pet sitter, will definitely plan on hiring her again.”
“Kaileigh was incredible! She sent me photos and updates multiple times a day. My cat was comfortable with her and she left the house in perfect condition. She even put everything in the laundry before she left. I will definitely be having her watch my Binx in the future.”
“Jana has been great for our weekly check ins. Both kittens love her, and she always does a great job playing with them and giving them all the snuggles they want! She goes above and beyond cleaning up after their “lunch dates.” Highly recommend booking with her if your schedules line up!”
“Heather was fantastic! She came for drop in visits with our cat (Teesha) while we were out of town. She sent wonderful updates, photos, and videos from each visit. We will definitely book with her again! 5 stars all around!”
“Rachel is great with my cats! She is attentive, making sure she plays with them, handles administering medications and treats daily. She sends both video and pictures daily - I can tell my babies are at ease and enjoying their time with her. She checks in if she has questions. I feel very comfortable leaving my babies under her care.”
“Sally is the BEST! We have had several rescue kitties and all have been skittish based on the trauma they’ve been through. Sally makes it her mission to ‘get them to love me’, and she’s been completely A+ successful every time! With Sally we know we can go out of town and not worry at all about our baby. 🥰”
About: I have had cats omnipresent since I was born. “Lookout for a cat and a cat will lookout for you!” But let’s be real, if the high lord deems me worthy of taken care of them while their primary human is on vacation,is the deciding factor, if this job is happening or not. I understand that I can’t be every cats favorite and should it not be the case, then I am willing to try and do my best to gain trust to take care for a short period of time. Because I don’t want to leave you hanging.
About: I have lived with cats for the past 3 years. They were my roommates cats and I helped take care of them when they went out of town. I have also cat sit 5 cats at a time for a family friend! I am comfortable with feeding times, cleaning the litter box, giving necessary medication, and play time.
About: I've taken care of both of the cats I've had with all my heart even when my cat decided to be an indoor/outdoor cat. I always make sure the litter is clean not only for cleanliness but for comfortability of the cat as well. I know to keep my distance from cats because I know they don't want to be pet ALL the time (even though they're so cute and I want to) so they can feel comfortable around me

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dogwood Acres
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: This is mine (Katy Snipes) and my husbands (Chad) account. We have had dogs and cats our whole life. We are comfortable with basic training and commands and love the old timers who need a little more TLC. We can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I (Katy) am currently a stay at home mom with my sweet first born son. I am very flexible during the week and would love to get on some walks with your pets. My husband offers available hands week day evenings as well as weekends. We have a fenced in back yard that our beagle loves to run around and play in. He is a spitfire when the energy is high, but can also lounge around the house when he knows it’s time to chill. We have a crate available if that is needed. However, our house is very pet friendly and open for your pet to make themselves at home.
“Our dog had surgery yesterday and Katherine took care of him today while we were at work. He was in the best hands. She took the best care of him and made sure everything went smoothly for him. She kept me updated throughout the day and Hank was so happy and comfortable with her. I trust her completely and highly recommend her. She deserves 10 stars.”
“My dog, Buster, loves coming to play with Garrett and Garrett’s pup, Dax, for doggy day care! Even though Buster is older he still has a lot of energy, and he is the only dog in our home. Buster gets socialization and play time with Dax in Garrett’s fenced in backyard and comes home both happy and tired! Highly recommend Garrett (and Dax)!”
“Cristina was able to accommodate us last minute to keep our doggie for the day. I got lots and lots of pictures as always and her family took such great care of LouLou for the day. Thank you Cristina.”
“BLUE decided that playing in a big mud puddle in Lauren's yard from a storm last night looked Fun! So white puppy was brown 😅 but Lauren gave him a bath and he was fluffier than when I dropped him. He is happiest at this Rover caregiver. I Highly recommend Lauren!”
“Alyssa was Great! My Roxie is spoiled to the core but She was a happy Dog when I came to pick Her up. So Alyssa must have been Very patient with My "Brat"! Will definitely highly recommend Her and use Her service in the future. Jack & Roxie..”
“Hannah was great. We needed someone to watch our large, high energy puppy and found Hannah. We wanted our dog to have the chance to play with another dog if possible, so she arranged for our pup to meet her dog prior to the stay. Hannah and Conan (her dog) were both awesome. Hannah clearly has a lot of love for dogs and and her experience handling dogs was evident. She sent us updates and pics throughout the day of Charlie (our boy) playing the yard and with her dog, Conan. Hannah even walked Charlie to help get some of his energy out. We will be using Hannah again!”
“Brittany took wonderful care of our pup! She kept in contact with me throughout his stay and was quick to respond. We look forward to having her care for our boy in the future!”
“Rosemary is always a great sitter. Mollie and Daphnie were actually wining to get out of the car when we drove up to her house. We got caught up and were late getting back and she was very understanding. Lucky yo have her.”
About: The son and grandson of veterinarians, I've spent my whole life around animals of all kinds, and I would love the chance to take care of your dog! I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses as pets, and while working for my dad I helped take care of pet boarders at his hospital for many years and assisted him and other vets while providing medical care. I also had a spunky Jack Russell for 17 years (!), and to tell the truth, I created this account mostly for the chance to spend time with some doggy friends because I miss that companionship very much, but I'm also still not ready for another one myself. You will be doing me a favor by letting me hang out with your dog! I obviously have experience with elder dog care, and giving medication, but I also have experience with dogs of all different types and energy levels. I work from home most of the week. I only have to leave the house for work on Tuesday and Thursday. My partner, Sofia, works from home full time, however, and is a pet lover like me, so your dog will never be without companionship, and we can accommodate any pet's needs for walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, and medication. I have a fenced in back yard to let your dog out in for quick bathroom breaks or just to get fresh air, and I live in a great neighborhood for walking. I'm happy to walk your dog as much as you'd like! I'm also close to Unity Park and the Swamp Rabbit trail if your dog needs some more serious play time! Lastly, I have two sweet kitties who are comfortable around dogs in the sense that they will likely ignore your dog, lol. But I don't board cats because they don't like strange kitties.
About: I have a lot of experience fostering and rehabilitating dogs who have had trauma, helping them come out of their shell and trusting humans again is my strength. I am available for walks in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I am also flexible, able to stay in your home, and open to some overnight stays. I have a cozy, air conditioned home with my senior beagle to keep your pup company. Will always have fresh water and treats available. I also have a crate if needed. This is my full time job so I have plenty of time to play with your pup. We have a fun dog park nearby also lots of toys and cozy beds. We love going for drives, long walks and playing outside and doing zoomies. My senior beagle is a great helper and I have a crate if needed.
“Jaylin is hands down the best person you could possibly leave your dog with. She not only has a deep love for animals, but is also experienced in things like giving them medications. She is very particular about introducing her dogs to your dog slowly as to not overwhelm anyone, which is extremely important. My dog had an absolute blast and I will definitely be using Jaylin’s service again in the near future. It was a great experience for everyone.”
About: Hi! i did private boarding for 14 years but only want to keep 1 or 2 from same family at a time since I'm retired. Guests are only crated when I am away from home. Recently retired and home 24/7. I have a super flexible schedule to allow for plenty of play time and walks around my farm. Must be cat friendly as I also work with cat rescue organizations and have 2 inside cats of my own. I have a super large, fenced yard with two 7 year old Border Collies who get along with everyone and everything. In addition, I have a large screened porch for an additional space. I love walks and can take yours, too, for no additional charge.
About: I bring a rare mix of professional veterinary experience and full-time, in-home care to every pet I watch. I spent eight years working at Cleveland Park East Animal Hospital, where I managed large boarding groups and assisted with medications, surgeries, and specialized care. That background allows me to confidently care for pets who need medical attention or extra support. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home all day so pets are never left alone and receive constant care and companionship. They also become part of our family, enjoying gentle love and attention from my children. Your pet would truly be part of our family! I am blessed to be a stay at home mother, so I am available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your pet would have constant care and attention from myself. They would also get to enjoy playing around our yard and porch and soak up all the extra cuddles. We have an outdoor cat, and we previously had our loving dog who passed away. We are used to having pets at home! While we do not have a fence, we have a grassy front yard and a large backyard with trees, grass, and even a creek. Our neighborhood boast 17 acres of natural space that include walking trails and a 3 acre pond. Your pet would love getting to go on unleashed walks with us throughout the day to explore all of these areas. As for our home, considering we have pets ourselves, our home is very pet friendly. Our cat prefers to explore outside during the day, but she absolutely loves dogs. Having lived with one for most of her life. We have baby gates to prevent dogs from going to the upstairs portion of our house, which leaves the entire downstairs for play, roaming, and resting.

“Absolutely wonderful! Went above and beyond for my girls and was so accommodating on some last minute requests. She helped me feel at ease with a meet and greet after a not so great rover experience elsewhere. She updated and sent pictures. We will definitely be using her as our regular!”
“Lindsey has been great to work with! She is dependable and a great communicator. My dogs love their walks and I feel good knowing someone trustworthy is taking them taking them out while I'm at work!”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have two 13 year old dogs myself and have helped take care of them from puppy to senior. I have fostered 3 dogs and pet sit for friends. I follow all requirements like walking, feeding times, giving any necessary medication, and endless love. I am a recent college graduate and currently in my job hunt. I have open availability and am very flexible at the moment. I would love to help out in any way that I can! I’m very used to animals and what they need. I will follow all directions that I am given to make sure your pet gets the correct care. I can feed and walk your animals around the neighborhood or let them outside if there’s a fenced in backyard. For cats, I’m comfortable with cleaning out the litter box and replacing it with new litter. On top of all the necessities, I will make sure they get the love they deserve.
“I was very thankful to Miriam for coming on short notice after my other walker couldn’t. She was very nice to my pups, on time for their walks, and very communicative. I would totally book her again.”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I currently have five pets of my own—three dogs and two cats—that I’ve raised and cared for, so I understand the responsibility and attention pets need every day. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as caring for cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life because I care for my own three dogs and two rescued cats every day. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting in your home, or care for your pet in my home if that’s what works best for you. I do my best to be flexible with scheduling and will make sure your pet gets the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. I have a large yard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like one of my own and receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention. If I care for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
“Kim was fantastic with my fur baby. She gave extra attention to her and gave great updates about Molly. It's so nice to have someone that you can trust with your special needs dog”
“She did a great job getting to know our pup and his routines with a meet and greet prior to the first walking. She was communicative throughout and on time. She did a great job with him.”
About: I have been passionate about pet care since I was very young. I take care of all kinds of animals! From ferrets and rabbits, fish, cats, and of course dogs. I worked at a vet clinic for some years and learned a great deal and acquired valuable experience! I also went to school and got certified as a professional dog trainer and have been doing that off and on for the past 5 years. I fostered shelter dogs and puppies for a long time. Even raising litters of foster puppies and kittens at times! Dogs are my true passion and I have a lot of knowledge on the subject. I will handle reactive or difficult dogs and breeds with confidence and ease. My first dog was quite reactive towards other dogs so I am very familiar and comfortable with the attention and management that requires. Don’t worry about it! If you have had trouble with sitters due to your pets behavior and/or difficulties, I am your person! I will watch any animal with any temperament or any difficulty. I have most recently been working at dog grooming salon for the last 1.5 years so I am able to provide grooming services as well! My whole life revolves around taking care of animals so your schedule will fit right in! Just let me know what works best for your animals! Crating or keeping dogs or different animals separate is no issue for me, I can give medication, do routine walks or make sure they are exercised in their own yard if needed. Just let me know your expectations and I will make it happen.
“I was in a pinch and needed someone within a few hours and thankfully Kimberly was available. Jazzy warmed right up to her and came back home worn out. I highly recommend Kimberly.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Cara! From the very first walk, it was clear that she genuinely cares about Kevin and treats him like one of her own. Kevin absolutely lights up when she arrives! Cara is reliable, communicative and always goes the extra mile - whether sending the sweetest photo updates, or taking the time to give him a little extra love and play. Knowing he’s in such caring hands brings us so much peace of mind. It’s such a comfort knowing Kevin is not just walked, but truly cared for. Cara’s kindness, energy, and attention to detail make all the difference. We can’t imagine a better person to trust with our Kevin! Thanks Cara 🩷”
About: I have lived with and been around dogs my whole life. I have experience in dog sitting and dog walking, and I am always up for helping people and especially their furry friends! I also have had four cats who were very opposite from being cuddly to being a bit aggressive. However I still love those fuzzballs deeply. Finally I had three parakeets who were very loud but so fun to have around. I am currently in Taylor’s South Carolina. I am 18 years old and currently do not have a job so I am extremely flexible with my schedule. I can really do any day of the week. I like make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also give pets lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel relaxed and happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always keep things clean and organized. Lastly, of course have fun with the pet and give them lots of love.
About: I have experience in dog training with all ages and sizes. I also have experience with horses and exotic animals. I have been pet sitting since high school and have a lot of experience with dog behavior. I’m a stay at home dog mom so I’m always at home with my dog or out running errands! I do go out of town often so message me to confirm! I ensure safety and care as if it’s my own. I know how it feels to not have a sitter or know them. I can do walks, play time, and even just being there for comfort.
