“Martina took such good care of my fur baby, Murray. Her communication was excellent, she regularly sent me pictures and updates. Murray had some separation anxiety and I did come pick him up a day early. But he was sad to leave and started whining when I put my car in reverse to back out of the driveway. We accidentally left behind his water bowl and a toy, when we returned to pick up our forgotten items he ran out of my car, up onto the porch and sat at Martina's front door. He loved staying with Martina and playing with her son”
“This was our first time ever leaving our dog ! He is 14 months and still quite the puppy. Tracy and her family were amazing and I looked forward to the fun pictures she sent. I know Jeter had a fun time ! So very happy with everything !”
“Lexie took amazing care of my lab! She is incredibly detail-oriented during the intake process and clearly passionate about dogs. Her professionalism really stood out. The pack-dog environment she provides (just as advertised) was perfect for my super-friendly and playful lab, who thrived in her care. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and am so grateful to have found Lexie. I will absolutely be bringing my fur baby back!”
“Yolanda was wonderful! We were able to go over and meet her, see her home, where our pup would stay, see her meet the other dogs, etc. It gave us peace about leaving her. She was a wonderful communicator and kept us informed on how Cora was adjusting. When I picked her up she had her all ready to go - she had her stuffed nicely packed up and Cora on her leash. It was a wonderful first experience and I look forward to the relationship that we have started to help care for our girl!”
“The boys seemed well cared for! Nice to have a dog lovers home to leave your precious ones with when gone for extended stretch of time! Becky was great, very friendly and enthusiastic about dogs.”
“Qais did a wonderful job watching our pups! He was quick to respond, took frequent videos and was attentive to the special instructions we left him. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be returning if we ever need doggie daycare again!”

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.

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.

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.
“Caroline was amazing! This was the first time we used Rover and she made things super easy. Her house is precious and sets up perfectly for a variety of dogs. Caroline did a wonderful job accommodating our pup’s needs and we will definitely use her again when we come to Columbia. Thanks for everything Caroline!”

About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have over 10 years of experience in pet care services, and I’m passionate about providing loving and reliable care for your furry friends. I also have a 7 year old dog named Karson who’s super friendly and loves meeting new friends! I work from 8 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends.

I have an extra-large crate available if your dog needs one for any reason.
“Wow…..Robin was amazing! I appreciate the correspondence, her flexibility with our schedule, and the treatment of our fur baby. Our coco is older with separation anxiety and Robin went above and beyond to make her comfortable. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Amazing experience…. And coco thinks so too!”
About: I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 8 years old, complete with business cards I designed on a computer game. During high school, I worked at Riverbanks Zoo learning, training, & teaching about hundreds of different animals! I learned the importance of consistency, engagement, and enrichment. I have raised and trained two well behaved puppies and generally love working with any pets- I will always be loving and put your pet's wellbeing first. With dogs, I am patient, competent, and firm. With cats, I am gentle and quick to win them over. I practice positive reinforcement and will play with your dog too! PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: I recently finished my graduate degree and my next steps involve a lot of flexibility and free time! I’m also an early riser and enjoy morning walks with my dog (or yours!). Right now, if the distance is close enough, I can accommodate walks and drop-ins fairly easily. If you are looking for overnight stays (house-sitting; my most requested service), I may be able to accommodate you. I have to be selective and take only one or two bookings per month due to my household's needs. *PLEASE NOTE: New Meet and Greet Fee* I add a $15 fee for Meet and Greets for bookings (total cost of services) less than $150. This helps make up for gas and time spent to ensure we are a good fit. This fee is waived for services that total $150 or more. By requesting services, you are agreeing to have this fee added to your total. If your dog is extremely well behaved + cat friendly, I can accommodate occasional daytime boarding (doggy day-care). I have a fenced in yard and a very well behaved and friendly mini golden doodle (40lbs) and two awesome cats. I don’t let dogs on furniture unless invited, but I can promise a mix of awesome play time and cuddle time.
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare and own 3 dogs of my own. I have owned dogs my whole life. We have had chickens as well. I love animals and plan to have many fur babies in the future. I work on Monday-Friday from 8-5. My husband works from home and can let them out often. We are also home all weekend to love on your babies. I will take care of and love your babies like my own my fur babies and make sure you feel comfortable when away from them and send lots of videos and pictures.

“I had Claire house sit. She spoiled my cats rotten while I was away and took care of my house plants and goldfish pond. She said they call her the "cat whisperer" and I believe her...even the cat who never goes near strangers was sitting in her lap. She kept in touch while I traveled and sent lots of pictures of the cats getting plenty of love and care.”

I have kept up with their training, started training for puppies being held for Christmas gifts, etc.I promise to love, care and cuddle your pets as l do mine. I have always been a stay at home mom since adopting my children. Now that they are 20 and 21, I’m just a homebody. I am able to tend to your babies 24/7. In my home, I will separate my pets as people bring in theirs. When the owners leave, I will introduce them one at a time. I can administer their medicine, do some light grooming, take on walks, and my schnauzer says he will let them play with his ball thrower. Oh, and pets will never be fed together.

I am a stay at home mom, because my schedule is flexible, I'm able to work around what is needed for taking care of your fur babies.

I love to interact with new animals and they will be under the best care when with me. I will strive to give your loved ones the attention they need. Im currently working part-time time with a lot of freedom in my scheduling. Pet sitting gets me out of the house and it is mutually rewarding to spend my time caring for animals. My 3 year old German Shepard and 1 yr old cat offer a fun friend to play with. Plenty of toys and treats available. House is big enough to divide spaces if breaks are needed. Schedules are put in place as to ease transitions from one home to the other.

“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter. She stayed over night at our home and watched our two cats while we were out of town for our wedding. She was extremely reliable and kind, which allowed me to be worry free all weekend! When one of my cats, who gets bad hairballs, got sick on our comforter, she went out of her way to wash and dry it for us. I’m so glad I found her and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Jamison
“This was my first Rover experience and I'm so happy I booked with Tracy! My fur baby, Theo, seemed to be well taken care of all day and very entertained. He was tired and content when we came to get him at the end of the day. I couldn't have asked for better! He got to run around outside with her dogs, play, and also some downtime to snuggle. We will see them again, for sure!”
“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 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.
“I know that Murray is well cared for with Morgan and Grace! He gets LOTS of playtime and cuddles.❤ And they are very quick in replying to messages when I check in on him during the day. They are great about being flexible with my constantly changing schedule. I will definately be taking Murray back to see them again!!!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim and her husband Mickey. They responded immediately and was so helpful and friendly. Even worked with my unknown hours. They cared for my 7 month old puppy Luke he was a KING! They had great, well behaved dogs that he loved and played with non stop. They always lake them to sog parks and my puppy is exausted when we get home which is wonderful because so are we. I am so blessed to have met them and their sweetness for my puppy and helping us find places to eat or see around the new town. Thor ( our puppy) now knows when we go towards their place and races up to their door. Mickey loves the animals as much or maybe more than Kim which is incredible they both adore animals so much. Kim is so helpful and always willing to accommodate any need. I wouldn't use anyone else!!!!”
“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!!!’”
About: Ever since I was little I've preferred the company of pets over people. My first job was at petco as a sales associate then after in the grooming salon and there i blossomed into who I am now! Currently taking a break from work after my stroke and what better way to spend that down time than cuddling with your babies? My favorite thing to do is work with animals and it truly does not feel like work to me. I dont have a fenced in yard so all walks are on leash. I do have long lines for times they need to stretch their legs and will be adding seperated fenced in areas for the dogs to have some safe secure fun in the good weather times.
“Gloria was a lifesaver! We needed a last minute dogsitter and she and her family took excellent care of our pup. She was very thorough in the care even for watching him for a short time. I highly recommend her!”

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.
“We needed someone for the day to watch our doodle and Dolly came to the rescue! She was very quick to respond to my messages and very easy to coordinate drop off/ pick up times. We are very appreciative and Stevie enjoyed her stay!!”
“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.”

About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

About: Hi, my name is Sergii. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over 35 years. Now I have 2 dogs: a poodle and a boxer. My wife and I love dogs and they love us. We treat our dogs more like family members than pets. We know how it’s difficult to be away from your pup, regardless if it is only a couple of hours or days. We are a team - two very experienced dog owners. We have experience with senior dogs&cats, and pets with special needs; dogs&cats who are highly anxious, and pets who are hyper activity and need a lot of care and attention. Now we put our animal expertise to our small business for pet services. We aim to ensure your dog receives just as much love and care as it does in your presence. I’m willing to feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are not available.

I love to interact with new animals and they will be under the best care when with me. I will strive to give your loved ones the attention they need.

“Martina took such good care of my fur baby, Murray. Her communication was excellent, she regularly sent me pictures and updates. Murray had some separation anxiety and I did come pick him up a day early. But he was sad to leave and started whining when I put my car in reverse to back out of the driveway. We accidentally left behind his water bowl and a toy, when we returned to pick up our forgotten items he ran out of my car, up onto the porch and sat at Martina's front door. He loved staying with Martina and playing with her son”
“This was our first time ever leaving our dog ! He is 14 months and still quite the puppy. Tracy and her family were amazing and I looked forward to the fun pictures she sent. I know Jeter had a fun time ! So very happy with everything !”
“Lexie took amazing care of my lab! She is incredibly detail-oriented during the intake process and clearly passionate about dogs. Her professionalism really stood out. The pack-dog environment she provides (just as advertised) was perfect for my super-friendly and playful lab, who thrived in her care. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and am so grateful to have found Lexie. I will absolutely be bringing my fur baby back!”
“Yolanda was wonderful! We were able to go over and meet her, see her home, where our pup would stay, see her meet the other dogs, etc. It gave us peace about leaving her. She was a wonderful communicator and kept us informed on how Cora was adjusting. When I picked her up she had her all ready to go - she had her stuffed nicely packed up and Cora on her leash. It was a wonderful first experience and I look forward to the relationship that we have started to help care for our girl!”
“Qais did a wonderful job watching our pups! He was quick to respond, took frequent videos and was attentive to the special instructions we left him. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be returning if we ever need doggie daycare again!”

About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have over 10 years of experience in pet care services, and I’m passionate about providing loving and reliable care for your furry friends. I also have a 7 year old dog named Karson who’s super friendly and loves meeting new friends! I work from 8 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. On weekdays, I come home during my break to let the dogs out and give them some love. Every day after work, the first thing we do is head outside to play in the yard! I have a pet-friendly house with a privacy fence, so your pet has plenty of space to play and relax safely. I’ll be giving them lots of love and care. I have an extra-large crate available if your dog needs one for any reason.
About: I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 8 years old, complete with business cards I designed on a computer game. During high school, I worked at Riverbanks Zoo learning, training, & teaching about hundreds of different animals! I learned the importance of consistency, engagement, and enrichment. I have raised and trained two well behaved puppies and generally love working with any pets- I will always be loving and put your pet's wellbeing first. With dogs, I am patient, competent, and firm. With cats, I am gentle and quick to win them over. I practice positive reinforcement and will play with your dog too! PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: I recently finished my graduate degree and my next steps involve a lot of flexibility and free time! I’m also an early riser and enjoy morning walks with my dog (or yours!). Right now, if the distance is close enough, I can accommodate walks and drop-ins fairly easily. If you are looking for overnight stays (house-sitting; my most requested service), I may be able to accommodate you. I have to be selective and take only one or two bookings per month due to my household's needs. *PLEASE NOTE: New Meet and Greet Fee* I add a $15 fee for Meet and Greets for bookings (total cost of services) less than $150. This helps make up for gas and time spent to ensure we are a good fit. This fee is waived for services that total $150 or more. By requesting services, you are agreeing to have this fee added to your total. If your dog is extremely well behaved + cat friendly, I can accommodate occasional daytime boarding (doggy day-care). I have a fenced in yard and a very well behaved and friendly mini golden doodle (40lbs) and two awesome cats. I don’t let dogs on furniture unless invited, but I can promise a mix of awesome play time and cuddle time.
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare and own 3 dogs of my own. I have owned dogs my whole life. We have had chickens as well. I love animals and plan to have many fur babies in the future. I work on Monday-Friday from 8-5. My husband works from home and can let them out often. We are also home all weekend to love on your babies. I will take care of and love your babies like my own my fur babies and make sure you feel comfortable when away from them and send lots of videos and pictures.
About: I am a pet lover and very active person. I would love to provide services to you and your family, while also allowing myself time to stay fit and active. I have a Siberian Husky of my own that I take for 2 mile runs daily. I have also worked in social services for several years. I am easy to reach by telephone and can assist you in whatever way possible. Each service listed here is quite descriptive but I can also discuss them with you if you have any questions. You will not be disappointed once you book me. My pet car experience and special skills set me apart from other sitters and walkers. Your pet will show the difference once they board or walk with me!
About: What sets me apart is how much I truly care. I don’t just watch pets I connect with them. I have a sweet and sometimes sassy Shih Tzu of my own, so I know how much love and attention dogs need to feel safe and happy. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler touch, and I always treat them like family. Whether it’s extra belly rubs, slow walks, or just keeping their routine, I’m all about making them feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I just graduated and currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles, I love being able to spend my free time with animals. It’s more than just a side job it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I take the time to learn their routine—when they like to eat, go outside, play, or just relax. I pay close attention to their habits and personality so I can blend their schedule into my own and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm presence, I adjust my care to fit their needs and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away.

About: For the past 5 years i’ve taken on the amazing job of pet sitting. I’ve sat for numerous families ranging from a single pet, to multiple - of all different ages. I’ve administered medications to elderly dogs daily, taken 3 dogs on a walk at once and played with all sorts of cool animals over the years!

I’m currently a full-time online student, in which I’m able to be home all day. Your pets needs will be tended to immediately throughout the day, along with numerous potty breaks and a lot of love and attention. Currently, we live on 5 acres out in the country. While we have plenty of land to go on walks, we do not have a fenced in yard currently. Come summer of this year, we are hoping to have our back yard fenced in which will provide much more peace of mind for the owners and freeness for your pets.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for roughly 6 years. I will care for yours as if it was my own. Please message for an interview!
