Alexis was very courteous and professional with our doggo! Chow chows have a bad rep for being an aggressive breed but Alexis was willing to meet ours and give her a chance to prove what a friendly, caring dog she is, and she had a great weekend away! Thank you again, Alexis!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.
“My lovely little Eleanor enjoyed her stay . Luisa took such good care . She sent pictures through out the day and reassured me that she was okay and that she was using the cat litter like she should. She is responsible and on top of everything. We were blessed to have her .”

“Kelsey was so good with our cats. Lollipop is wary of strangers but I think she warmed up to Kelsey after the first day or so. I think our cats are more comfortable in our home when we travel and I felt like they were in good hands during our time away.”
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart! I’ve been cat sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and I truly love getting to know each cat’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or extra cuddly. In our own neighborhood, we help care for stray cats by making sure they’re fed, safe, and loved whenever possible. One of those neighborhood strays completely stole our hearts, and we eventually welcomed them into our family permanently! I understand that cats thrive on patience, routine, and gentle care, and I’ll make sure your cat feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I’m happy to help.
“Ashley is a godsend. I know when I’m away, my kitty cats are in great hands. I’m always thrilled when Ashley is available to cat sit for me. She’s the ultimate professional…on the ball and responsive.”
“Samantha was great! She was very quick to communicate any questions, poetical problems, or issues while she was doing drop in visits for my senior cat. Sends photos everyday with vey descriptive notes on how the visit went. Could not have asked for a better sitter.”
“Sarah did a great job- was totally reliable, sent us daily photos of our kitty and our kitty clearly liked Sarah- she came out to greet her every day. I would absolutely ask for Sarah again!”
“We cannot say enough great things about Alexis! She recently watched our dogs again, and just like always, she did an amazing job. From daily updates to thoughtful care, she treats our pups like they’re her own. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands when we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. From here on out, Alexis will always be our go-to person for dog sitting. Reliable, caring, and professional—she’s simply the best!”
“We cannot recommend Brandon enough! We had a sudden, urgent need for a cat sitter due to a funeral out of town, and Brandon was an absolute lifesaver. He responded to our request within minutes, easing our stress during an already difficult time. His professionalism and dedication while we were away were truly five-star. He sent messages and multiple pictures of our cats every single time he checked in, giving us complete peace of mind knowing they were happy and well-cared for. If you need reliable, prompt, and genuinely caring service for your animal needs, look no further. We highly, highly recommend Brandon!”
“Kayla was fabulous! My cat Goose absolutely loved Kayla, which says a lot because Goose can be sassy. Kayla was so easy to work with, made sure Goose always had food, water and her litter box taken care of. She also sent the best pictures of Goose!”

About: We’ve always had dogs and cats in our home but we are a military family so we move around often and we are not ready to bring one in permanently so I thought helping others with theirs would be perfect. I know I needed help with mine so I’m happy to repay the favor to others now. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs), private yard, no other animals in the home. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!
“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I have never used Rover before, but Janece and Matthew put my mind at ease! They did a wonderful job taking care of our two Goldens, including a 4-month-old puppy. Their communication and responsiveness was great, and I enjoyed getting pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely book with Janece and Matthew again!”
About: I spent over two years managing a dog training facility, so I really understand how to make pups feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m also Dog CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority. What really makes my boarding special is that your dog isn’t just a guest — they become part of a warm, nurturing family. From playtime and cuddles to cozy naps, your pup will feel right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work outside the house for only about two hours a day, so I’m home the majority of the time to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m available all weekdays and stay flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups to make things easy for you. Whether it’s morning walks, cuddle breaks, or evening playtime, I make sure every dog feels cared for and part of the family all day long. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family! I have a big fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies, plus another friendly dog who loves making new friends. Our two little ones adore helping with gentle pets and belly rubs — it’s truly a home full of love. Everyone’s safety always comes first, so if a pup prefers quiet time or needs their own space, I make sure they have a comfy, peaceful spot to relax. Your dog will feel right at home with plenty of love, care, and family fun every day.
About: I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours. I follow each dog's individual routine based on the information you provide prior to their stay, including feeding schedules, medications, & any special care instructions. For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit. My dropoff/pickup windows are currently Monday through Friday, 7AM to 10AM & 4PM to 7PM, and Saturday through Sunday 8AM to 10AM. Currently I'm unavailable for dropoff/pickup on major US Holidays. *Hours subject to change based upon availability. I have open space for indoor play & a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Though dogs are free to roam & play while staying with me, during other dropoffs & pickups, dogs are always secured in kennels for their safety.

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.
“I highly recommend Randi. She is very attentive, patient and willing. She has helped me keep the potty training going and he has been amazing. Her dogs are the sweetest so my Xano loves hanging out.”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of dogs! When I was younger my family had two dogs: a chihuahua named droopy and a German shepherd named Chico.

“I like that I was able to take a tour, inside and out, of where my girls would be during daycare. The property was kept clean and well maintained. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day. I had an overall very positive experience and would definitely recommend.”
“Our puppy has been going to doggy day care with Liza and it has been so great I had to give her another review! Liza has been a blessing and lifesaver for our new pup. She’s friendly, flexible, kind, and we can tell genuinely cares for our puppy. Her little girls have really grown fond of him as well, and she sends the cutes pics of their play time each visit. I know our puppy loves them because he is so excited every time we drop him off. Thank you so much to Liza and her family for caring for our little guy!”

I work in the school district, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of availability during the summer months. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”
“Sean was great with our dear Azure. He was very knowledgeable and had all avenues covered for safety and protection while walking her. Great first experience for her! Thanks Sean”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.
“Carolyn was a huge help to me today! I had a full day of work and kids activity and no time to walk my dog, and she was able to help me out of the jam and get my dog the exercise he needed on super short notice. She took great care of him!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.

“My dog had a great time and we received updates and photos while we were on vacation. I will definitely book with Leigh again. Max was well taken care of and got lots of love and attention as well!”
“We are crazy thankful for Alexis! Had another sitter fall through and she was available for us last-minute so we didn't need to cancel our weekend plans. Alexis was very courteous and professional with our doggo! Chow chows have a bad rep for being an aggressive breed but Alexis was willing to meet ours and give her a chance to prove what a friendly, caring dog she is, and she had a great weekend away! Thank you again, Alexis!”
“Daisy was amazing with our Husky mix. She helped teach me new tricks to train Yuna better and she made friends with Daisy's dog piper. Me and my boyfriend are really impressed with how kind & genuine she is with animals. Definitely a well practiced dog lover who can handle a fun loving hypher husky with no worries.”
“Paola was amazing! She treated both my girls like furry princesses. She made me feel welcomed and relaxed the moment we met! During the puppy vacation Paola sent me daily pictures and videos. My pups had a great time! 10/10 would recommend”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Kyra and her family. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly loved during his stay. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Lexie is the best!! She is our go-to sitter in Columbia. She’s very attentive to both of our dogs and goes out of her way to ensure they get safe socialization with the other dogs. She even gave them a special treat for Thanksgiving. I can tell that they enjoy staying with her and the other dogs based on their excitement when we pick them up. Thank you for everything, Lexie!!”
“Merrell was absolutely AMAZING with our sweet puppy Luna!!!! I highly recommend her. She was wonderful at communicating with us and sent lots of pictures every day! We will definitely have her watch Luna in the future! She went above and beyond and took wonderful care of our little girl! I could tell she had a blast hanging out! Thank you so much! ?”
“Lauren was excellent and helped us out with boarding for our dog at the last minute when our other arrangements fell through. She sent photos to reassure us all was going well. It was so nice to find someone nearby we could rely on on such short notice.”
“Randi was great with the boys! No issues with dropping off my two dogs or picking them up. She communicated with us and was super accommodating. 10 out of 10 we will be using her again!”
“We invited Kathy to meet Mikobefore we all made final decision and our Miko fell in love! Kathy was awesome regarding staying in touch with us with pictures and text messages while Miko was at her house! Miko loved being there and made friends and gained a buddy! Our hearts were are so grateful for Kathy and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing Miko was well cared for, safe and happy! We would highly recommend Kathy if you are looking for a sitter who will take great care of your pet, show them lots of love and attention and stay in touch! She is very sweet and we are blessed to have found her on “Rover”’”
