“As always- Whitney and Ryan were awesome. They’re so patient with Henry and Henry LOVES their dogs and little girl. Ryan deserves a massive shoutout because my dog burrowed himself under their back deck for like 3 hours. Ryan army crawled underneath and spent soooo much time trying to coax my dog out (it was late too, around 1130pm when my dog came out). Can’t say enough good things.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Merrell for our English Cocker while we were visiting family in Columbia. Our dog loves her and ran right up to her when we dropped him off. We got plenty of pictures and updates for his stay. Highly recommend Merrell.”
“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.”
“My dog Angel came back saying how much she loved staying with Debbie and her other dog friends. My dog will be staying there again in the near future. Debbie has a serious organized system of taking care of dogs and I don't know how she does it. A+”
About: Hi! My name is Lauren and I’m looking to cat sit anytime and dog sit Friday-Sunday. I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with over five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, responsible hands. As a PhD student, my schedule can vary from week to week depending on classes, research, and clinical responsibilities. I’m happy to discuss my availability once you know your travel dates, and I’ll always be upfront about what I can accommodate. I’ll do my best to provide reliable, flexible care that fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and gentle care while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet as if they were my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how they are doing and enjoy peace of mind throughout your trip.
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Qais was great! He made my dog feel right at home and took him for fun walks and to the park. Great communication. Lots of pictures and videos. I will be booking again!”
“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!”
“Christina took fabulous care of our little kitty. We were a bit apprehensive leaving her for the first time, but Blakely received personal care and adjusted quickly to her new situation. Christina was good about giving us updates via photos, videos, and messages. We would definitely bring our kitty to Christina again next time we go away. I highly recommend Christina!”
“I chose Lexie as my dogs sitter the first time I used Rover. I felt very comfortable with her during our first meeting. I appreciated how she took notes to make sure our baby would be safe in her care. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were out of town. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs. She is fantastic!”
“Our boys were nervous on the 1st day. However, on the 2nd day they began warming up. She made them feel comfortable and at home. We received tons of pics and videos daily. Thanks for taking care of our boys.”
“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.”
“I could tell our two cockapoos were treated like family members and weren’t clingy after I brought them home. I loved that Becky kept us updated and took such wonderful care of the kids.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix and a 4-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week.my husband stays at home full time. I have a very flexible schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.
“Needed a last minute sitter for Nova and Evelyn was great. Sent me updates and pictures. Nova really enjoyed her stay and was living her little best life. Would definitely recommend!”
“Assatta was amazing I am so grateful for her! She treated my dog like her own and that's all I ask for. She made sure to keep me updated with videos and pictures. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Kathy was terrific with our pit bull. He's super friendly with people, but sometimes needs a minute to warm up to dogs. Kathy did a wonderful job letting him get adjusted to her animals. He made great friends, got tons of playtime, and lots of love! She also sent us daily texts with pics and videos. Would absolutely board with Kathy again.”
“They are wonderful and communicative sitters and my dog was happy during her stay! I received several updates with photos daily and they were responsive to all of my messages. I would absolutely use them again!”

“Teresa did a great job checking on our cat while we were gone. She stayed 30 min giving him pets, cleaning his litter box and checking his food/water. She is a great communicator and even sent us a picture. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over five years of experience caring for pets, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your cat. I’ve always dreamed of having a cat of my own, but because of my current living situation and graduate school commitments, I’m not able to adopt one right now. Cat sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with these amazing animals while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve.
“Kathryn was amazing and I am so appreciative of her stepping in on a late notice and loving on my boy! I could tell from the pictures he got a lot of attention and play time, couldn’t be more happy and recommend Kathryn to anyone!”
“Wow!!! I really think she did a great job. We have a super shy cat and she tried very hard to interact with him. I would book her again. She is very kind good with animals and communicated great.”
“Moe is awesome with my cats! She would play with Jinx who is my social butterfly. She also made sure to put eyes on Cinder who is a master at hiding. She will contact you with any questions she has, which I appreciate. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Kayla was awesome! I had a last-minute request over the holiday, and she was kind and prompt in her communication and sent great updates each time she visited our home. Would happily invite her back 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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Fran was exceptional! She was so kind and caring for our kitties. Her updates and pictures were very detailed and gave me the peace of mind I needed while I was away. I’m very grateful I found Fran!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Meghan watched our 2 cats for a whole week. This was the first time we left them for that long without the care of someone in our family, so we were very grateful it went all well! She was attentive to detail and shared pics daily. I can tell she went above and beyond to create a bond with our -very- shy cats. She laid on the floor, gave them space, time, and by the last day, they were happily adjusted and we can’t be happier. For sure will keep her in mind whenever we need to go on trips again!”
“Sydney was wonderful! She took great care of both my cats. One of my cats is very challenging and has to get oral medication. Sydney was patient and earned his trust. She followed all of my instructions and I knew my cats were safe and happy. I would highly recommend Sydney!”
“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”
About: I’ve 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!! 🐈⬛
“Clare did a great job taking care of my Sadie while I was out of town! She was patient and did a great job communicating with me. I could tell that Sadie warmed up to Clare easily based on the pictures she sent me. I would definitely have her help me take care of Sadie again in the future!”

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 :)

“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: 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.
“Chad was very accommodating to our variable timeline. He was super responsive, and sent updates during our dogs visit at his house. Our dog had so much fun being able to go in and out of the doggy door and play in the backyard!”
“Taco had a GREAT time!!! Caroline provided pictures throughout the day along with updates of how he was doing. It was a comfort knowing that Taco was in such good hands. I would highly recommend using Caroline -except if it’s a day we want to leave Taco with her!’? We will definitely use Caroline every time we come to Columbia-which will be often over the next few years!!!! Thanks again Caroline-Taco Can’t wait to see you again!!!’”
“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 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.
“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!”
“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’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.
“Super sweet with my pup. You can tell he treats every dog like his own. I needed an emergency sitter and he had no problem taking my little girl last minute for a couple of hours. Highly recommend.”
“Nontombe is amazing and took such great care of my dog!! She eased my fear of leaving my boy by keeping me updated with pictures/videos and text. My appointment ran over and she was also very understanding and accommodating. We will definitely use her services again in the near future.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for cats, dogs, and even chickens! Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and have experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and care needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. No matter what, pet care is always a priority in my routine! My days naturally revolve around caring for my own two dogs, and I intentionally plan my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My current schedule gives me extra flexibility and free time, which means more walks, playtime, cuddles, and one on one attention for your pet. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. If boarding at my house, I live with my boyfriend who also has a relatively flexible schedule and can provide care during any hours that I may be away. In my home, pets are treated like family! I have a large yard for playtime, two friendly dogs who love having company, and plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained. I always make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and love while they’re with me. I’m comfortable accommodating different needs and routines, whether that means crating your dog, sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, or giving them extra one on one attention. If your dog is used to snuggling up at night, they’re more than welcome to sleep in bed with us and our pups! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I will follow any house rules, schedules, or care instructions you have to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. I love going on walks and am always happy to take dogs on adventures, get in plenty of playtime, or simply provide companionship and cuddles based on their personality and needs.
About: I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of animals my whole life. I’ve had many dogs throughout the years, have watched friends/neighbors dogs for years, and this summer I started working for “At Your Pets Service” of Oakleaf. I am a college student home from summer who works for a pet sitting company so I have a flexible schedule. I typically know my schedule for the week a week in advance and it normally varies, but I always have time in between visits. I have a fenced yard and good sized tile living room. I currently work for a pet sitting company so I am comfortable of taking care of clients houses.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 4 years and have experience caring for pets with special medical needs. My own dog has separation anxiety, depression, and receives injections at home, so I’m comfortable with extra care and medication. I’ve also cared for my cousin’s dog with epilepsy, including administering medication and staying calm during seizures. I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality and treat each one like they’re my own. I’m a student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’d love to start by offering dog walks and drop-in visits, and I’m also happy to provide pet sitting as needed. I always do my best to work around each family’s schedule and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have reliable transportation throughout Columbia, pay close attention to routines and instructions, and always provide a calm, caring environment. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“What a find in Chad! All the reviews about how wonderful he is are spot on. Chad jumped right in and went above and beyond. I never worried a moment I was gone with Penny in his capable hands. Thank you!. Thank you!”
“This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!”
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 have taken care of all kinds of dogs, big and small, for over 8 years! I do overnight stays to simply taking dogs on walks and for potty breaks! I will treat your dogs with all of the same love and energy! I am currently a Senior at UofSC and my schedule is very flexible as I am home in Charleston for the summer! I am working on getting my Real Estate license so I don’t have a solid schedule right now. I know you will be missing your pet while you are away and your pet will be missing you, so I want to make sure they feel loved and feel like they are just on a little vacation! I will send you photos every day and keep you updated and what we do. Dogs and Cats do not scare me and I am very good at the luring game!
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 currently have two amazing dogs, Oslo and Annie. Oslo is a Labrador Pit Bull mix. I have taken care of him since he was a puppy. Annie is a Pit Bull mix. I got Annie when she was 2. Both dogs love to play out back in the fenced in yard. What sets me apart? I had a dog with 3 legs and he required special care. His name was Kal. I had a dog named Charlette. She was very overweight when I got her and I helped slim her down by adjusting her diet and walking. I got Charlette when she was old. I took care of her until she died of old age. I have taken care of dogs that were emotionally and physically abused by their previous owners and I have a huge heart for helping dogs through those awful situations. My current dog Annie is a classic example of a dog that can be an amazing companion even after emotional and physical abuse from a previous owner. I also volunteered at final victory through the doggy day out walking program. I participated in the Mardi Gras Parade with one of Final Victory dogs and I have volunteered at the Final Victory Campus to help with cleaning doggy bowls for all the dogs. I can work full time any day of the week. I am available for walking services or staying at the pets home for as many nights as needed. I do not offer boarding services at my home due to Annie still learning that other dogs are a safe space and mean no harm. I care for my pets by playing fetch, giving treats, playing tug of war with a rope, feeding, bathing, providing potty break, walking, and socializing with other dogs. I don't trim dogs nails.
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...

“As always- Whitney and Ryan were awesome. They’re so patient with Henry and Henry LOVES their dogs and little girl. Ryan deserves a massive shoutout because my dog burrowed himself under their back deck for like 3 hours. Ryan army crawled underneath and spent soooo much time trying to coax my dog out (it was late too, around 1130pm when my dog came out). Can’t say enough good things.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Merrell for our English Cocker while we were visiting family in Columbia. Our dog loves her and ran right up to her when we dropped him off. We got plenty of pictures and updates for his stay. Highly recommend Merrell.”
“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.”
“My dog Angel came back saying how much she loved staying with Debbie and her other dog friends. My dog will be staying there again in the near future. Debbie has a serious organized system of taking care of dogs and I don't know how she does it. A+”
About: Hi! My name is Lauren and I’m looking to cat sit anytime and dog sit Friday-Sunday. I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with over five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, responsible hands. As a PhD student, my schedule can vary from week to week depending on classes, research, and clinical responsibilities. I’m happy to discuss my availability once you know your travel dates, and I’ll always be upfront about what I can accommodate. I’ll do my best to provide reliable, flexible care that fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and gentle care while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet as if they were my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how they are doing and enjoy peace of mind throughout your trip.
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Qais was great! He made my dog feel right at home and took him for fun walks and to the park. Great communication. Lots of pictures and videos. I will be booking again!”
“I chose Lexie as my dogs sitter the first time I used Rover. I felt very comfortable with her during our first meeting. I appreciated how she took notes to make sure our baby would be safe in her care. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were out of town. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs. She is fantastic!”
“Our boys were nervous on the 1st day. However, on the 2nd day they began warming up. She made them feel comfortable and at home. We received tons of pics and videos daily. Thanks for taking care of our boys.”
“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.”
“Assatta was amazing I am so grateful for her! She treated my dog like her own and that's all I ask for. She made sure to keep me updated with videos and pictures. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Kathy was terrific with our pit bull. He's super friendly with people, but sometimes needs a minute to warm up to dogs. Kathy did a wonderful job letting him get adjusted to her animals. He made great friends, got tons of playtime, and lots of love! She also sent us daily texts with pics and videos. Would absolutely board with Kathy again.”
“They are wonderful and communicative sitters and my dog was happy during her stay! I received several updates with photos daily and they were responsive to all of my messages. I would absolutely use them again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have experience caring for family pets on a daily basis. Through feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and companionship, I’ve learned how to understand dogs’ needs and make them feel comfortable and safe. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends dogs on multiple occasions. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to treating every pet with the same care and patience I give my own dogs. I’m currently a college student with a part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. When I’m not in class or at work, I’m usually home and available for walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I’ll always communicate my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them plenty of attention. I grew up with dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for them and know that every pet is different. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Eileen was fantastic! As soon as we met Eileen, we knew our baby would be in good hands while we were away! She really put our minds at ease and sent us pics or a video each day while we were away. Scout was clearly having a good time while we were away and was well taken care of by Eileen!”
“Fantastic environment for King as he enjoys himself and feels like home. They really take care of your pets and I will continue to use them in the future.”
“Shannon was great! She kept us updated daily and quick to respond. Her and her fur babies treated my pup like he was part of the family and I came home to a happy tired dog. Will definitely use again!”
