Highly-rated overnight sitters - Forest Acres
“Merrell was an ideal sitter for my dog, Trixie. She communicated well, and sent lots of photos. Her home is neat and clean and she has a large fenced yard. I will definitely ask Merrell to keep Trixie again when I visit Columbia for football games!”
“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.”
“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!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we were two nervous fur parents. Nontombe picked up our pets on Christmas Day (that is up and above service for sure). Our babies were immediately drawn to her. She updated us daily with pictures and videos of our babies having a great time. My husband was sure that our Milo would not want to come back home with us because he was cheesing in every picture she sent. We had the best experience and our pets were treated with much care and love. We will definitely use Nontombe's services in the future! We highly recommend her as a pet-loving amazing caregiver.”
“Thank you, Savannah! Opie had a quick overnight trip with Savannah and Chandler. Very responsive. Easy peasy and Opie is a happy camper. Appreciate the happy home with a playmate for Opie to stay at.”
“Isabela was amazing with our yorki. She sent regular updates with pictures and was quick to respond whenever I reached out!! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much for treating our dog like it was your own :)”
About: I have had a dog (childhood puppy at home) my whole life and she is my best friend! I have fostered multiple puppies, some who aren’t potty trained, and have experience overnight sitting. My roommates also love to have furry friends around! I am a full time graduate student with a part time job, but will be home a lot and love to get exercise walking. I also have 5 other roommates who would be happy to help out if I am busy with class. I have a front patio for quality outside time, but it is not fenced. I will be outside with your pet whenever we hang out on the patio, otherwise we will be inside.
“Becky was fantastic with our puppy, jack, and was very responsive to messages throughout his stay. He had a great time snuggling and playing with the other pups. We’ll definitely use Becky again.”
“We have no worries leaving our furbaby with Shonta. She takes good care of him. I love receiving pictures of him sitting in her lap or outside playing with her furbaby. We always look forward to his overnight stays and we have a piece of mind knowing he is in good hands.”
“Evelyn took great care of Bash and provided updates throughout his stay! He enjoyed his time with the family and playing with Smokey as well! They definitely will have a returning client!”
“Qais provide great service and frequent update during the stay of my pet. I will definitely use him again in the future. I highly recommend him for the car of your pet.”
“Lexi was absolutely AMAZING! We boarded our sweet beagle Belle for 9 nights while we travelled out of state and couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver while we were gone! We got daily updates and when our pup wasn’t eating the first couple days, she worked to help her with broth and pumpkin puree. Belle had the best time!! Thank you Lexi! We will definitely use again!”
“Assatta was very accommodating. She was very responsive interactive with our Demi! A very loving home and we felt at ease knowing Demi was in good hands. She sent pictures and kept us updated. I will be booking her every time she is available!”
“Took great care of my 2 doggies and kitty while we were away for a long weekend trip. All my animals were happy upon arrival. I can always tell if they have had a good time or have had anxiety and they were all in good graces. Great experience and will be using Tabitha again! Thank you!”
“Michael seems to have made Zeus feel right at home! He made me feel great about leaving Zeus with someone who isn’t family, which i’ve never done before! He was super considerate of his needs, read all of my *way too detailed* instructions, and gave daily updates with photos! I will definitely be using him again if needed in the future and would recommend him to anyone! He seems to have the perfect personal touch and i’m happy that my dog returned happy and tired! both signs of an amazing pet sitter! thanks michael!”

“Jessica was dependable and took great care of my 3 cats while I was on vacation. There was good communication and I appreciated the photos and updates on how they were doing during the drop-in visits.”
“Beverly did a great job! Very communicative and professional. This was my first time on Rover so I had a lot of questions and she was very forthcoming in helping to understand and in ensuring that my time away was stress free and my cats were in good hands. Great job!”
“Teresa was amazing with my sweet Benny! She is gentle and kind and followed all my crazy directions for my high maintenance cat. Will absolutely recommend her and book her again!”
“Merrell took wonderful care of my cat PB! She sent an update with every check in and it was such peace of mind knowing that she was looking after my beloved kitty. Merrell is responsive and makes sure your pet is safe and healthy. My cat is very shy but Merrell spent time at my house to assure that PB was doing ok.”
“Fran once again has been a pleasure to work with and took such great care of my cats. She’s thoughtful and takes super pictures and sends detailed descriptions of her visits. I’m so glad we met Fran!”
“This is my second time leaving my cat with Venetia and she was just as amazing! The pictures I got throughout the trip told me all I needed to know, that my cat loves Venetia and getting to play with her! Thank you, Venetia!”
“We loved having Becky take care of our cats when we were away. She did a great job and was very thorough. Our cat is normally very shy warmed up to her right away. She provided good descriptions of what she did and was very flexible with us. Highly recommend.”
“Kayla has been an amazing help! She watched our cat over a year ago and we felt comfortable enough to reach out, out of the blue, to come back and watch him again for this years trip. We were in a new place and she was very comfortable and willing to help again. She is communicative and shows up consistently and always gives great honest updates with lots of pictures. Definitely a great reliable person to watch your furry kiddos!”
“Meghan took great care of our kitties while we were away for a week over the Christmas holidays. She was very responsive leading up to the trip, and she was accomodating to our needs even during her own Christmas plans. She checked on them once a day and sent pics and updates after each visit. If there were any concerns, she updated us right away. We came home to happy kitties!”
“Karina was fantastic with my cats! One of them is very shy and usually takes a very long time to open up to people but she made an exception for Karina! Big thank you and a huge recommendation to anyone else who needs their furry friends taken care of!”
“Hadley has been great with our Teaser. He loves having her company and getting to go outside and walk around. Thank you, Hadley, for taking such good care of hiim!”
“100% would book again. johann was so great with our dog friday. he sent so many photos and videos. it was hard to leave her alone for the first time but he really made us feel at ease. thank you so so much. i wish i could leave six stars !!”
“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.”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job visiting and caring for Dottie and Milton. We got updates during each visit and they clearly enjoyed her presence with them. We’re new to the area and look forward to her being our pet sitter when we are out of town again. Highly recommended!”
“Sydney was attentive, kind, and caring to my fur baby! I received regular photos and updates from her and my cat was very comfortable with her too! I look forward to retaining her services again.”
About: I’ve shared my home with cats for many years (most recently with my beloved Mabel, who passed last year) and have cared for countless others through sitting, fostering, and daily life. I understand cats. There subtle signals, individual personalities, boundaries, and the quiet ways they show trust and affection!! 🐈⬛

Perfect for high energy dogs - Forest Acres
“Easy to communicate with! Qais responded immediately at the last minute for us as we needed a dog sitter for a couple hours while we were passing through. Archer had a great time!”
“Our two pups were SO happy and content to have spent the day with Savannah while I was out of town, I could tell they were well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to let them stay with her again!”
“She was amazing!! We loved the updates and we worry about our big dog but he loved her? Since hes big we always are concerned about who looks after him and when hes happy we know she did a good job”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life from strays to fosters to pet sitting and my own pets. I have incredibly friendly pets that will make yours feel at home and I’m excellent at potty training puppies I’ve had several of my own over the years! I work from home so I have plenty of time to hangout with your beans :) while they are with me their schedule is my schedule! I have a fenced in yard, friendly cats and dogs and about a million toys for any pet, as well as private rooms they can hang in if they prefer to be alone and a cozy guest crate for pups if you like your beans crated at night or for any reason :)
“Isabella and her family are so nice and pleasant. They send pictures and keep me updated with Jett’s activities during the day. He gets excited when I mention her name which is a good sign.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. Now, I am a dog mom of 3 beauties. I have a 16 yr old shitzu terrier mixed,3 yr old a pit bull , and a 6 months English bull dog! I got out of the medical field, and have now devoted my lifestyle to my at home marketing and being a full time dog mom! I’m skilled in handling dogs of all sizes and all energy levels. I love teaching new tricks and commands. I wanted to pursue dog training once and tend to mimic a lot of tips that stick with me. Communicating with dogs comes really natural to me, and I love on all of the different personalities I’ve met. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! ****I am also able to assist with any oral medications your pet may have. I have a very flexible schedule to where I work from home. My schedule is pretty open throughout the week. If I’m not working Rover, I’m home being a dog mom! In my clients home I will follow instructions as given. I own a crate if needed, I prefer not to crate if in my care. I’m always loving on my fur babies🥰
“Eileen was a very pleasant lady and great with Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her, who had a good time with her dog. The fenced backyard was great for Daisy to roam around. I would recommend Eileen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was young! I grew up with family cats and dogs and have always loved caring for them and playing with them. For the past ten years, I have been dog and cat sitting. I am used to visiting homes but have also housed many dogs and cats in my own home. A few summers ago, I housed and cared for a dog for three months while his owner was out of town. Over the summers, I frequently get daytime visitors when owners don’t want their dogs to be alone all day. I have significant experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I am extremely good with cats, as I’ve lived with one or more my whole life and am very fond of them. We do currently have a young cat in our home, so boarding is temporarily turned off. To explain the gap in my reviews from 2021 - 2023, I was at school and only home for holidays. I am home now for the foreseeable future. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a car and am happy to visit as many times as necessary. With more advance notice, I can also move my shifts around to be more available for your pets. I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can run around! We have several dog gates in our possession as well if needed—they’ve been used in the past to separate more anxious dogs from my cat—and I am happy to crate your dogs according to your wishes or even aid in crate training. We have bowls of our own but would need dog food brought in. I am also familiar with grooming/brushing and could aid with that. I am very social and love to spend time with animals. If staying in your home, I will make sure to give your pets lots of love and prioritize their well-being. I will always reach out with questions if anything comes up.
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.
“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.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always treated them with all love and care. Dogs and cats both and all kinds. I am a college student using my free time to care for animals, so in between classes, after, and before I’ll be using my time to dog walk, etc. How I care for my pets at home is by giving them attention by playing with them, taking them on long enjoyable walks, making sure they are eating the best and are healthy.
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I worked at a vet clinic for three years, and I’ve been petsitting for about 11 years now. I have fostered and rescued many times. I have one dog, Huck, and two cats, Khaleesi and Abu. I work almost entirely from home, so I am here almost all day. I occasionally have to run to a job for 2-3 hours, but I can adjust my schedule when necessary. I have a brick fenced in back yard. I am happy to go for walks and play fetch and accommodate any way I can. I worked at a vet clinic for three years and I’ve been petsitting for over 10 years now, so I have plenty of experience giving meds and caring for our four-legged friends.
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and began pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around the age of 10. I’ve had a dog of my own for about 6 years now who gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Happy to care for pets of any age and willing to administer medications or provide other special needs to pets if needed. I have a lot of free time in the next couple of months as I am waiting to start a job a few months from now. I will have plenty of time to drop in to check on pets, regular walks, and boarding! I have a very friendly dog that gets along well with cats and dogs alike. I am happy to welcome your pet into my home or come to your home to care for your fur babies too.
About: Hello. I have extensive experience with a variety of animals. As a child I rescued stray cats, dogs, and different wildlife. I've had cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, domesticated rats...literally everything. I currently have 4 rescued ducks, 2 rescued turtles, turkeys and 4 baby tortoises (inside). I have a fenced in yard and numerous references. I do have 4 small kids. I work from home. If a pet is skittish around children, I keep them in my room so there is calmness. I also have a completely seperate room that can be used if they prefer even less human contact. ***PLEASE send a collar and leash when boarding a dog I work from home so your pup would have constant attention as they'd be hanging out with me. I do have a fenced in backyard (it has my outdoor animals it in). If the pup isnt good around farm animal, potty breaks can be on a leash in my front yard I have a fenced in backyard. I am okay with a dog that sleeps in a cage overnight...or not. There's definitely flexibility there if the dog isnt destructive. I will ensure the pup is comfortable and entertained.

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!
“This was our second time using Teresa and we couldn’t recommend her more. She goes above and beyond for our pets. Our dog is always so excited to see her for his walks while we are away. She even gives some extra attention to our outside kitties. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Jeffery is reliable and communicative. We’ve agreed that he’ll walk Zeek three days a week into the foreseeable future. I k ow Zeek already feels very happy with some uncle Jeffery time!”
“Shanavia made me feel so safe and comfortable. My dog is a little crazy but she was so patient and took the time to understand my dog and train her. She has become my go to walker!”
“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: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 10, so I have a lot of experience with waking and looking after them. I used to walk my neighbours dogs and house sit when I was younger which I used to love. I am part of the USC women’s soccer team so I am training more or less every day during the week. However I have a lot of free time in the afternoons or weekends to look after your pets, especially in Summer ! I have always loved animals, growing up I wanted to be a vet but I realised I had to take chemistry so that dream ended quickly. I miss my dog back home a lot so I would love to fill that gap with pets I can care for and meet a few times a week if needed.
“Dargan is amazing with Wolfie! My dog is a rescue with some reactivity and she works so well with him. They gained each others trust quickly and are already best buds! We are weekly repeat client!”
About: Growing up in a home filled with a beloved cat and two dogs, animals have always been a central part of my life. I understand firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished family members who deserve the highest level of love, respect, and attentive care.For the past year, I have been working as a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, providing everything from high-energy outdoor walks to cozy overnight stays. I pride myself on being incredibly reliable, calm, and intuitive when it comes to reading an animal's body language and comfort levels. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs a long walk, or a bit shy and prefers quiet, gentle companionship, I adapt my energy to meet their unique needs. I graduated from college and moved back home. I work part time. Pet care fits into my schedule throughout the week. I have 2 dogs of my own. I would love you walk your dog or take care of your cat! I can provide care to pets at my clients home. I will always make sure they are happy, healthy, and have all their needs met.
“Not only did Brittany take the BEST care of my sweet Penny, but she also documented it with tons along photos and written narrative. I felt completely in the loop. Thank you Brittany!”
About: While most of my pet care has been focused on cats, I do have experience caring for dogs as well. I have cared for animals of all different ages, health levels, and necessary care levels. I have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. I also have experience administering medicine to pets and caring for injured animals. I have some experience in grooming and upkeep of animals as well. In addition to Dogs and Cats I do have experience caring for all sorts of different animals. Including but not limited to snakes, hamsters, bunnies, lizards, ducks, and chickens. So, please feel free to contact me for any animal care you are searching for! I currently work part time at a restaurant and typically work 2-4 days a week. I am available before 3 or 5 pm the days that I am working, and I am currently available any time on the days I am not working at the restaurant. So my days off I have plenty of time to hang out with your little guys! Due to the fact that I have a young cat and roommates with allergies I cannot personally board animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your home. I am comfortable with walking any size of dog and am also comfortable with crating dogs and assisting in crate training. I am a very attentive person and notice any pattern changes in animals behavior. I am also very willing to answer any questions anyone might have! :)
About: I have had dogs all my life and I got my second dog from volunteering from shelter. I love all animals and love having play dates. I am a graduated nursing student who still loves taking care of dogs. Having two of my own makes my day when I come home. I am currently home most days due to graduating and will be starting my nursing career in December. I work on campus two days a week for 5 hrs per day with a grant funded program. My dogs stay uncaged in my home and i let them out multiple times a day. I have classes mon-wed. My dogs are spoiled and have plenty of snacks and play dates with my friend's dog.
About: I love, love, LOVE animals and will lavish TLC on your fur babies! I started taking care of my neighborhood dogs and cats when I was 10-years-old in Greenville, SC. It's stressful for pets to be boarded while their owners are away, so I try to make sure that they feel loved and secure when I take care of them. I give lots of belly scratches and am known by my doggie work neighbors as the Treat Lady. I take my pet-sitting responsibilities seriously and make your pet my priority when you entrust them in my care. I want to you to go away with a light heart, knowing that your dog or cat is in my loving hands and that I'll spoil them rotten...
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.

“Eileen is the greatest. Of course I mean all the usual stuff like great communication and great space/yard for my dog. But when I say she is the greatest, I am referring to her absolute love of dogs….. and that includes my dog. She sent me pictures and videos that warmed my heart each day I was away from him. He was so content, playful, and happy that I was almost jealous. It’s not just dogs she lives…..she loved my dog and it showed. I highly recommend Eilleen because you will be grateful and happy. Fergus and I are going back.”

Since he recently came from foster care, earning his trust is important, and Shannon was so gentle and understanding with him. We truly appreciated the care and kindness she showed and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Sally is wonderful! We are repeat clients and always feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sends loads of pictures and loves on our dog so genuinely. We are very thankful to have found her.”
“Sebastian was amazing with my Marley. He was very attentive and very personable. He sent us updates everyday and was a pleasure to work with. We will only trust him from now on with our Marley.”
