“Cyrus was very reliable, flexible, and patient with Payton. He met us outside of the house to allow Payton time to get used to him. He was very gentle with her and took the time as I would. I highly recommend Cyrus for overnight stays at his home as he allows and give your furry baby a home away from home. Thanks Cyrus, I plan on booking with you again in the near future. Thank you for taking such great care of Payton.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to hamsters and rats—and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster kittens and gain hands-on experience with a variety of pets. My mom was a veterinary technician for 30 years, so I grew up learning a lot about animal care, behavior, and what it means to keep pets happy and healthy. At 18, I started my own pet-sitting business back home in Connecticut. When I moved out of state, I left the business behind, but I’ve always wanted to get back into pet sitting—and now feels like the perfect time! I currently have two cats and two ball pythons of my own. My schedule is also very flexible right now, which means I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. My time spent with your pets will involve lots of love and cuddles, walks and playtime, as well as treats as appropriate. I also have experience with administering medications to pets, so if this is something you need assistance with just let me know! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐾 I'm currently in between jobs and looking for something part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your babies, whether that be drop-ins or boarding. If needed, I have a dog crate at home for the safety of your pet while I am not at home. I have a 3 bedroom home in a peaceful community in Conway.
“Mari is so amazing. I have two pups and they have separation anxiety. From the moment we got there - they went into the yard and just made themselves right at home. They didn’t even notice I was leaving. She has a wonderful home with a tall fenced in yard ( for any pet parent with an escape artist like myself). her dog, Scooby was so kind and gentle to my babies. I have to say her family is so amazing. Her son loved my dogs like they were his! I felt so comfortable on my work trip knowing they were in such great hands. 100% recommend Mari to anyone who needs a sitter. She truly loves animals and wants to make sure they are comfortable. She sends tons of photos and videos, which is really thoughtful and appreciated. She’s so great!!! So happy to find her!”
“Debbie and her family are awesome!! I had a sitter to cancel on me in the last min before labor day wknd. Debbie agreed to keep Rocxi for me for 4 days in last min. They are wonderful people. They are super friendly, warm and down to earth. She really put me at ease. I didnt worry about a thing while we were out of town!! She is our new go-to sitter!!!!”
“This was the second time we left Ollie with Luciana and Carlos and we couldn't be happier! He was so excited to see them when we dropped him off. Ollie is treated like a member of their family and he is truly loved and cared for by them. It brings us such peace of mind knowing that we can leave him with such wonderful people. We won't leave Ollie with anyone else! 🥰🐶”
“I truly appreciate Oceana for her attention to detail and her willingness to assist us with such short notice. Everything was handled in less than an hour! Including drop off- Her home is very beautiful and Dean had an incredible time. I definitely will reach out again when I'm in SC.”
“We are always anxious about leaving our dogs when we go away. But we had nothing to worry about. Mary did a great job with them. Each day the photos showed the dogs more comfortable looking though they were too small for the fence restraint, she took them for walks often. I will definitely leave them with Mary again. Her kindness shined through.”
“Amy was great with our dog, Charlie. He suffers from separation anxiety which seems to be getting worse. He wasn't doing well at all in the hotel room so we decided to try a sitter. He was restless his first day, but that was to be expected. By day 2 he was having a great time with her pups! She saved our vacation and Charlie got to have play dates. Win win! Thanks again Amy!”
“Lauren did a great job babysitting our 10 year old dog Cotton. Cotton got along well with her 2 dogs and seemed happy and content when we picked him up. Lauren was very easy to work with, scheduling drop-off and pick-up at times convenient for us. We will definitely book Lauren again on our next trip away.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dongola
About: I've had my own dogs and cats as well as done dog sitting when I was a teenager! I live teaching dogs new tricks when sitting because it helps me connect with them more! I'm currently a part time student taking online courses so I have a lot of free time! I like working out in the mornings and Going to the beach! If your pet enjoys the beach as well they are more than welcome to spend the day with me! I have a fenced in yard with a pool if your pet enjoys swimming. Growing up with both dogs and cats has taught me that timing with feeding is extremely important as well as their diet.

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jacklyn to take care of my dog, Hazel Grace, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jacklyn was incredibly professional, punctual, and caring, making both Hazel Grace and me feel at ease. From the moment we met, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals. She took the time to understand Hazel’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs. Hazel Grace is usually quite shy around new people, but Jacklyn’s warm and gentle approach quickly won her over. During the time Jacklyn looked after Hazel, she provided regular updates, including photos, which reassured me that everything was going well. It was evident that Jacklyn was not only ensuring Hazel was fed and exercised, but also showering them with affection and attention. I was particularly impressed with Jacklyn’s attention to detail. When I returned, Hazel was happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Overall, I highly recommend Jacklyn to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. Her dedication and love for animals truly shine through in her work. Thank you, Jacklyn for taking such wonderful care of Hazel Grace!”

My true passion is creating joyful, fulfilling experiences for the pets in my care.

Every pet deserves the best, and I go above and beyond to give them a fun, stress free, and loving experience. Having rescued and cared for dogs in need, I bring a deep sense of compassion to everything I do.

About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. Always been a different kind of love. I still have my childhood cat and got my dog 5 years ago. They are my everything.

With experience in puppy training, basic obedience, and senior dog care, I’m comfortable with everything, slow-paced walks, making sure your dog eats the right diet. Beyond just walking, I focus on enrichment & providing mental stimulation, affection, and routine to keep your dog happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I structure my day around morning, midday, and evening walks. Whether it’s early , mid-afternoon potty breaks, or relaxing evenings, I make sure pets get the attention they need throughout the day. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a calm, clean, and pet-friendly spaces & I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by following their usual routine.
About: I am a certified, licensed, and insured dog trainer and the owner of Chaos To Clarity K9. I work with dogs and their families on obedience, leash skills, everyday manners, and behavior challenges. Many of the dogs I help are everyday family dogs who need guidance with things like pulling on leash, barking, jumping, reactivity, or learning how to settle in the home. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping owners build strong foundations early through clear communication and consistency. I have a strong interest in behavior modification, especially helping dogs work through fear, stress, and reactivity at a pace that keeps them comfortable and learning. My husband is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a combat veteran and former military police K9 handler who trained civilian police dogs. Because of his veterinary background, I’m also able to consult with him when behavior questions may have a possible medical component, which can sometimes play a role in behavior. I also understand that dogs live in real families with real challenges. I live with multiple sclerosis and am raising an autistic four-year-old, so I appreciate how important it is for training to be practical, realistic, and supportive of the household environment. My goal is always to help create calmer, safer, and more enjoyable relationships between dogs and the people who love them. One thing that’s very important to me is paying attention to canine body language and stress signals. Dogs communicate constantly through subtle changes in posture, facial expression, and movement, and recognizing those signals early can prevent many behavior problems from escalating. During training, I help owners learn how to recognize what their dog is communicating so they can respond in a way that builds trust, confidence, and better behavior over time. Dog training is part of my regular weekly routine, and I intentionally keep my schedule structured so each client receives focused attention. My current training availability is: • Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM • Wednesday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Thursday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Saturday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Sunday: Afternoon appointments available by request Closed: Monday and Friday Because each dog and family has unique needs, I limit the number of training sessions I take each week so I can provide thoughtful, individualized guidance and follow-up support between sessions. Safety, trust, and clear communication are always my top priorities when working with dogs and their families. I pay close attention to canine body language and stress signals to make sure dogs remain comfortable and able to learn during training. Training sessions focus on creating a calm, structured environment where both the dog and owner can succeed. I work at the dog’s pace and help owners understand what their dog is communicating so they can respond clearly and confidently. My goal is to create training plans that are safe, practical, and sustainable for everyday life, helping dogs feel more secure while helping owners feel supported throughout the process.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to hamsters and rats—and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster kittens and gain hands-on experience with a variety of pets. My mom was a veterinary technician for 30 years, so I grew up learning a lot about animal care, behavior, and what it means to keep pets happy and healthy. At 18, I started my own pet-sitting business back home in Connecticut. When I moved out of state, I left the business behind, but I’ve always wanted to get back into pet sitting—and now feels like the perfect time! I currently have two cats and two ball pythons of my own. My schedule is also very flexible right now, which means I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. My time spent with your pets will involve lots of love and cuddles, walks and playtime, as well as treats as appropriate. I also have experience with administering medications to pets, so if this is something you need assistance with just let me know! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐾 I'm currently in between jobs and looking for something part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your babies, whether that be drop-ins or boarding. If needed, I have a dog crate at home for the safety of your pet while I am not at home. I have a 3 bedroom home in a peaceful community in Conway.

They didn’t even notice I was leaving. She has a wonderful home with a tall fenced in yard ( for any pet parent with an escape artist like myself). her dog, Scooby was so kind and gentle to my babies. I have to say her family is so amazing. Her son loved my dogs like they were his! I felt so comfortable on my work trip knowing they were in such great hands. 100% recommend Mari to anyone who needs a sitter. She truly loves animals and wants to make sure they are comfortable.

“We are always anxious about leaving our dogs when we go away. But we had nothing to worry about. Mary did a great job with them. Each day the photos showed the dogs more comfortable looking though they were too small for the fence restraint, she took them for walks often. I will definitely leave them with Mary again. Her kindness shined through.”
“Amy was great with our dog, Charlie. He suffers from separation anxiety which seems to be getting worse. He wasn't doing well at all in the hotel room so we decided to try a sitter. He was restless his first day, but that was to be expected. By day 2 he was having a great time with her pups! She saved our vacation and Charlie got to have play dates. Win win! Thanks again Amy!”
“Lauren did a great job babysitting our 10 year old dog Cotton. Cotton got along well with her 2 dogs and seemed happy and content when we picked him up. Lauren was very easy to work with, scheduling drop-off and pick-up at times convenient for us. We will definitely book Lauren again on our next trip away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs every kind since I was 10 and I’ve been around them my whole life. I love spending time with animals whether it’s a long walk, a hike, or some snuggles on the couch. I’m currently in college so between me and my partner we are home almost all week. Also available on weekends. Animals will have frequent potty breaks, love, and visitors! I have grass area for potty breaks and long walks we can go on. I’m available to crate any animal at night or have them in bed.
“Karla and her family were absolutely amazing! They treated our pup as if she was their own and gave us updates and pictures all along the way. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and highly recommend Karla to anyone who is looking for a good place for their pet to stay!”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING!! This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous about leaving our babies with new people. Madison suggested a meet and greet so the dogs could meet her and Zoey. It went well and the dogs were excited for their stay. Madison sent lots of updates and pictures and was very attentive to our babies. We will definitely use Madison again.”
