“Where do I begin? Kashawna was outstanding with my babies. I think she spoiled them even more(if possible)😂 she took them on walks mixed their food kelp them on their feeding schedule and loved on them.

“Jen was phenomenal! Honestly the best sitter I’ve ever used. She was quick to respond, send updates, and never made me feel like a burden for asking. My dog had the best time and has been pouting since I picked her up. I will always book Jen if she’s available. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog. She’s incredible!”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”

“They took such great care of Bear, even after he bit Hayley! :( We appreciate them taking such great care of him & they even got him goodies for Christmas! We would definitely recommend them keeping your fur baby! -and if they'd ever have him back after his biting incident, we'd definitely let them keep Bear again!!”
“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! 😊”
“Andrea was awesome, she kept our Yorkie (Thumper) for 8 days while we took a vacation. She showed him love, she's so sweet, she took great care of him. We highly recommend her, She kept us updated on how he was doing, she sent us videos and pictures.”

“Anna was great! As much as we missed my cats on our vacation, we knew they were well taken care of with her drop ins. She played with them, cleaned litter boxes and let my indoor/outdoor cats in and out. Very dependable and respectful. I would book her again. :)”
“Angela is so awesome! I can't say enough about her and how well she took care of our fur babies. Getting her daily updates and pictures really helped ease my mind about leaving them for as long as we did. This was the first time I ever needed a sitter, and I couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our "kids". From the moment we met, I knew she was the right one for the job. Thank you so much, Angela, for all that you did when watching our fur babies. You truly spoiled them. Even though it took a little while for them to warm up to you, I knew they would come to love you. Thank you for all the texts and pictures you sent throughout the process. It was such a relief knowing they were in your good hands. Next time we have to make another long trip, I will only call on you. Thank you again for everything! You are the best of the best!!!”
“Our cat absolutely loved his visits with Meghan. She made us feel at peace leaving our furbaby and sent the best updates! We look forward to having her pet sit in the future.”

“Ari is super sweet and our guys really liked her. She made sure we didn’t have to worry about them when we couldn’t be home to check in on them. I definitely would recommend Ari for anyone needing their pets looked after!”
“Jonathan did a great job with our 2 cats. He was extremely punctual, tended to them, and was able to administer the meds we needed for our elderly cat. Your pets will be well taken care of, and we can't recommend him enough.”
“Annie was absolutely amazing! Slim Shady and Cheddar Bob loved her! I was worried that Cheddar might stay hidden during my trip (he’s shy) but he was waiting for her every day. Annie sent pictures and videos and kept me updated daily. So thankful for Annie and the peace of mind I had being away for a whole week.”
“Paige was incredibly sweet and kind! I felt rly comforted knowing she was taking care of my kitties. I appreciated her flexibility and understanding around a last minute schedule change too! Thank you so much!!!!”

“Cassy is absolutely amazing—responsible and caring. She took the best care of my baby cat and treated her like her own. I received detailed updates, photos, and messages every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would trust her again!”

I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.
“Macie is amazing! We had a great experience with her during drop-in visits for our dog, Faye. Communication was perfect every step of the way, and she kept us informed with helpful updates and plenty of adorable photos. Faye was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We are so grateful for her excellent care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Hayley and her husband were lifesavers for me today. I had to start a job and only had about twenty minutes to find someone. They were ready and willing. My baby girl had such a great day that she was asleep before we got to their stop sign! ??. I would definitely use them again.”
“Kashawana is excellent with Attie. Attie can’t wait to get out of the car when she realizes where she is. Kashawana is super accommodating and helped me out on short notice!”
“Andrea was wonderful with Daisy. We were coming from out of town & did a video chat prior to the stay so we could meet & see the area where Daisy would be. Daisy had a great time playing with Andrea’s dog & she was a very happy pup when we came to pick her up. We would use her again if we are back in the area.”

“Tara has worked out so well for my work schedule in the Spartanburg area! Blue has found another favorite sitter through Rover.com. Tara has been amazing with her responsible/professional yet loving care and communication throughout the day with me, I'm not sure Blue even wants to go home at the end of the day! I am praying that in 13 weeks if I make this job my permanent one, Tara will agree to be our permanent care giver for Blue. Hi, highly recommend Tara without any reservations.”
About: Hello there! I'm Razelle, your local dog walker reporting for duty! I'm here to make sure your pup gets the best care possible. I currently do remote work and have found plenty of dedicated time to do something I really enjoy on the side. As a certified Rover pro, I provide all sorts of services. From dog walking to house sitting and drop-in visits. But what sets me apart from the rest of the sitters is my passion for your dog’s well-being. I've had countless reviews on Rover and other platforms commenting that I treat their dog as my own. If you have training regimes or a set schedule, you can count on me to get it done! I also incorporate basic obedience training during our walks [if requested]. I teach simple commands like "Heel," "Look," and "Sit" to keep your pup focused and obedient, even in the face of distractions. This can be important when facing unexpected encounters! FRIENDLINESS WITH OTHERS REQUIRED: Safety is a top priority for me, as I understand that your dog's well-being is of the utmost importance to you. For this reason, I am unable to care for dogs with a history of attacking other dogs or humans. Furthermore, if your dog exhibits any aggressive behavior during a visit, I will be unable to continue caring for them in the future. This policy ensures the safety of all dogs and humans in my care and allows me to provide the best possible service to you and your furry companion. WALKING SUPPLIES? To ensure that your dog's walk is safe and enjoyable, please make sure that your pup has a well-fitted collar or harness, and that you have poop bags and a leash at the ready. While shoes are not required, I recommend them for added safety and comfort during your dog's adventure. Thank you for helping me provide the best possible care for your pup! Disclaimer: Ensuring that your dog's collar or harness is well-fitted is crucial to their safety during walks. If I determine that the collar or harness cannot be properly adjusted to fit your dog securely, I will be unable to walk your furry friend, as this increases the risk of your dog getting loose and running away. Please be mindful of the fit of your dog's collar or harness before scheduling a walk to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your pup. SCHEDULE? Monday-Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Weekends: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change according to the sunrise/sunset* --------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ: *WILL YOU SEND UPDATES OF MY DOGS?* You betcha! At the end of every walk or stay, I'll send you a detailed report on how your furry friend fared. You can expect to see all the commands we used during our walk, the exciting experiences your pup had, and of course, plenty of adorable photos from our time together. Who knows, you might even find yourself printing out the report and hanging it up on your fridge for all to see! *I HAVE NEVER LEFT MY DOG BEFORE, WILL HE OR SHE BE OKAY?* It is natural for some dogs to experience separation anxiety when being cared for by someone new. As a professional dog walker, I do my utmost to ensure that each dog feels comfortable and at ease with plenty of interaction and attention. It is not uncommon for new surroundings to disrupt a dog's digestive system, resulting in loose stools. However, there is no cause for alarm as this is a normal reaction to a change in routine. Typically, after 1-2 visits, the dog's digestive system will adjust, and any issues will resolve. It is important to note that the level of reaction varies depending on the dog's unique personality and temperament. *WHAT IF MY DOG IS SPECIAL NEEDS?* I am able to care for nearly ALL special needs dogs! 1) Allergies: Please let me know of any beforehand! 2) Medicine: info must be written on a note alongside food, with dosage, etc. (non-medical injections such as insulin is okay. In the state of Virginia, medical/complex injections require specific qualifications/certifications, which I do not have.) 3) Diapers are okay 4) Blind or Deaf? I’ve cared for several blind/deaf dogs and they’re always great! 5) Paralyzed: I have experience with a pitbull who was paralyzed from the waste down due to an incident. I kept up with physical therapy, indoor accidents, cleaning/caring, hand feeding. 5) Something Else? Let me know *HOW WILL MY DOGS BE CARED FOR?* When caring for your pup during visits and stays, their personality is my top priority. I will adjust my activity level according to their specific needs to ensure their safety and comfort. In the case of inclement weather or unfortunate situations that may cause your pup to get dirty, rest assured that I will have a towel or wipes readily available to clean them up. You can trust that I will provide the utmost care for your furry friend. Disclaimer: Please note that dogs can learn from their canine companions during visits. However, I cannot be held responsible for any habits that your dog may pick up from other dogs. Additionally, I cannot be held liable if your dog decides to consume unusual debris or objects during our visit. It is essential to keep a close eye on your dog and guarantee their safety at all times. *GROOMING?* Although I don't do grooming myself, I don't mind picking up and dropping your dog off at your preferred groomer/grooming salon for $10 each way. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any injuries/damages/harm the grooming salon may cause to your dog. Please make sure that this is a groomer/salon that you TRUST. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT MY DOG Meet Suki, my adorable 3 year old Blue Merle Border Collie! She's sweet as honey and loves everyone, including cats, dogs, and humans of all ages. I can't guarantee she won't lick you to death, but hey, that's just her way of saying hello! I'm pretty strict when it comes to Suki's diet and exercise routine. She gets fed twice a day with a slow feeder to avoid any mishaps, and I make sure to keep her brain active with mentally stimulating games when we're not out and about. Speaking of which, we hit the dog park 3-5 times a week and go on hikes and runs at the lake. Suki's a ball of energy and loves playing fetch, so be prepared to throw that ball a few times! Now, let me be honest with you. It's highly unlikely, but on occasion, Suki might come along for a walk or a drop-in visit and hang out in my car. Don't worry, she's super chill and won't leave any fur behind. But if you're not cool with it, just let me know, and I'll make sure she stays home, catching up on her favorite TV shows or something. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you want to chat about your pet concerns and their needs. Again, I am home mostly all of the day. Anything else you would want to tell me I would love to hear! Monday: 6 AM - 11 PM Tuesday: 6 AM - 11 PM Wednesday: 6 AM - 11 PM Thursday: 6 AM - 11 PM Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Saturday: 6 AM - 11 PM Sunday: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change depending on the sunrise/sunset* UNAVAILABLE DATES: August 11th, 17th, 2024 September 13th-15th, 2024 December [PENDING] As a professional pet sitter, I am willing to do some serious acrobatics to keep your home spick and span, even if your furry friend decides to have a little accident. Let me know what your preferences are, and I'll do my best to accommodate them!
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm so I have extended experience with horses, goats, cows, dogs, and cats. I regularly watch a friend's cats when they are out of town. I can feed, bathe, administer oral or topical medicine, walk, and play with pets. I currently have 1 elderly dog that is docile and friendly. I am able to care for senior dogs and dogs with additional needs or medical needs as I have experience through my own as well as caring for others' animals. I am currently saving up for my unpaid internship in music therapy. I am extremely available. My only obligations are one class on Monday's and Friday's. All other times of the week I am looking forward to helping others care for their furry loved ones. My dog truly family. She allowed on furniture and supervised play in our open yard. She loves sunbathing and playing with toys. I can, and am used to, administering medicine on a schedule. I am a long distance runner so long walks and extended play time is no issue at all! The following is a look into our daily life. We begin the day with a walk before food and medicine. We play outside and sunbathe around noon. In the later afternoon we go on an extended walk/run followed by food and medicine. Before bed we always play with her and take her out before bed. At night she often needs to go out multiple times a night so I take her whenever I hear her cues.
“Sarah is truly an exceptional pet sitter and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She cared for our dog Turner in her own home every day for four weeks while I was overseas visiting family and my husband was working, and the level of love, professionalism, and dedication she showed was extraordinary. Turner came into her care recovering from bronchitis, and thanks to Sarah’s 25 years of experience with dogs, she was incredibly vigilant and consistent with his medication and overall health. She kept us constantly updated and gave us so much peace of mind with clear communication and frequent photos. We always knew exactly how Turner was doing. She went above and beyond to make Turner feel at home, giving him his own bed, toys, and a loving, calm environment. Turner also struggles with separation anxiety, and under Sarah’s care and guidance he made huge progress — even with leash walking, which was a big win for him! She took him on multiple walks every day, and he came home happy, relaxed, and excited to go back to her house, which says everything. I truly cannot express how grateful we are to Sarah for taking such beautiful care of a precious member of our family. If you are looking for someone you can completely trust with your dog’s wellbeing, safety, and happiness, Sarah is the one. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!”

“Did as she was to do. Drop in on my dog just fine. I left cash sitting on table for her for holiday but she never took it. I guess you have to tell her it is tip money or else she wont not take it.”
“Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.”
About: Hello, I am Binta! I graduated from North Carolina A&T in Greensboro, where I studied Animal Science. I have 9+ years of experience of raising pets, mainly dogs and cats. All throughout high school, I have volunteered after school taking care of rescue cats so that they can be comfortable while waiting for their forever home. I also used to work part-time in a local dog resort, looking after dogs of all kinds of breeds and temperaments. So, if your furry family member needs a walk or a friend to play with, you can count on me to keep him or her company while you are away for the day! I currently work part-time with an irregular schedule (dog and cat hotel, ironically), so I am free in some mornings and the afternoons and evenings for the time being. If not, I will notify you if it's not possible. Weekends, nights and holidays included. If it’s a drop-in request, I would like the owner to leave a list or on the pet’s Rover card on how much and what times they are fed. If it’s a walk request, I will have water and poop bags when your pet needs breaks during walks.

My schedule is set for each week, so my availability will be posted well in advance. I make sure to keep a consistent eye on animals even if they seem to be low maintenance. That includes indoor/outdoor time and during walks. If you have any safety concerns regarding your pet, just reach out.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. My family and friends had pets but it wasn’t enough! I convinced my parents really young to get a dog and since then, I’ve taken care of and trained 3 dogs of my own. Friends and family that get pets often ask me for advice. I have a very nurturing personality and it translates well with animals, so I absolutely love them! I have experience training and basic grooming/bathing! I work remotely so I am home and available to take care of your furry friend :) I will ensure that I know your animal’s temperament/likes/dislikes in order to make both of us comfortable! I’m very attentive and know how to distract/entertain needy animals (from experience haha). I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a spike that goes into the ground that is secure and has a long leash. Other than that, I have a dog friendly neighborhood that we can take walks around!

About: I really enjoy animals so much. I just do not meet a stranger when it comes to dogs and cats. Your home would be my home away from home. Im 49 years old with a 5 year old son. I enjoy teaching him about how wonderful each animal can be. I personally believe if you teach a child to love animals they will grow up to be wonderful people. I do not have a big home but it is ful of love. We treat all animals like they are part of our family. I can not wait to meet you and your family (pets).. This job is a test to see if i can make an income big enough to stay home with my son. . God Bless each and everyone of you.
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
