“Amazing experience, extremely communicative and easy to work with could not have asked for a better sitter. My dogs were very happy upon pick up and my dogs love playing with her puppy.”
“They did a great job with my dog and approved our booking on short notice!! Sent lots of pictures and my dog Lucy came home very tired from playing with their pup! Would book again!”
“Zac was WONDERFUL with Briggs, our 120 lb ALL BOY lab! We were traveling out of the country for 2 weeks and found Zac on Rover….my first time using this site! I was a bit nervous just because Briggs is very high strung and has NO idea how large he is! Zac was brilliant with him….extremely patient (especially with me as I unpacked his Briggs’ bag with his teddy bear and blanket🙄)!!! Zac sent regular updates and pictures. The fact that he trains retrievers and other large dogs was a plus for me. He was always very quick to respond and answered all my silly questions! I will DEFINITELY be using Zac’s services again! Briggs had a GREAT time at “camp”!!!! Thank you Zac for loving on my boy and taking great care of him!!! Lindley”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Karen! She did such a great job of making sure she was walked and had a chance to get all her energy out! She did a great job with our very active puppy!”
“Margie takes excellent care of our special needs dog Veda. Veda enjoys the other pets because they are repeat visitors so she always has a friend there she knows which helps a blind dog.”
“Ms. Gina is awesome she took great care of Malichia sent me pictures of her and how comfortable she was with her. I would recommend her services to anyone that wants a genuine person watching your dog/baby.”
“Honey has stayed with Cory and Stacey before and has a great time with them. They send pictures that show that she is comfortable with them in their home. I don’t worry about her, I know she is well taken care of.”
“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!”
“My dog normally is hesistant of new people but immediately took to Shannon. Shannon taught me about proper intros and health facts around bloating I never knew prior. She not only kept me updated while she boarded my high energy dog everyday she had her, she also was understanding of unexpected car issues i had on the day of pick up. I would recommend Shannon to anyone who needs a safe place for their pet and seeking good communication during whatever service they choose to explore with her. 10000/10 would recommend”
“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.”
“Aubriana was able to take Theo for us at last minute and was very accommodating and sent us lots of photos of Theo having a lot of fun. Theo loves spending time with aubriana and her dogs. We definitely recommend aubriana she took really good care of our baby.”
“Carol was the absolute best! This was my fiancé and I’s first time ever using Rover and after some digging, I found Carol. She was the perfect fit for our pups. Over their stay, we received multiple pictures and videos, as well as updates on how they were adjusting. We will 110% be using Carol next time we have to go somewhere without our babies. Wholeheartedly recommend her!😊”
“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.”
“Lexie was so great with our pups! They had ample play time and she was really attentive to their behaviors in a new place. We got pictures daily and she was responsive on all our questions! Will definitely continue to book with her for all of our trips.”
“Katelyn kept our pup for two nights. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Brice felt at home and loved while we were away. I was able to relax and not worry about our fur baby as we knew he was well taken care of. We will use Katelyn again when we go out of town.”

“Always the best - the VERY best. Mike and Paige go that "extra mile" with every stay. We can vacation now with reliable, caring cat-and-house sitters who can not only tolerate but love Kilmausky the Kid (a/k/a "The Darkness") and Clyde the House Cheetah, who trusts Mike enough to come out of hiding and sit watching him from his favorite chair. (I should point out that Clyde was known to some previous pet sitters as "The Invisible Cat" because the disappearance of food and appearance of, er, "litterbox leavings" were the only ways they knew he was around!)”
“Angela was able to work with me last minute to make sure my boys got an outside break while I was on the road. She was very communicative and great with the dogs. Thanks Angela!”

I also have a dog, 2 cats, rabbits and a ferret of my own I’m currently only working part time so I have a lot of free time and flexibility to spend time with your pets giving them lots of love I prefer to look after pets in their own home as I dont have the space in my home and it eases your pets stress
About: I have owned dogs, cats horses, goats, donkeys my whole life. Have cared for sick animals. And I have done most of my own shots, antibiotics, wound care. I work part time Monday though thur. But my job is flexible. If I house sat I would not work, If it was more then 20 miles away. I try to find out as much as I can about the pet, then do my best to keep them on schedule. So they feel less anxious about a new person in there space.
About: I’ve grown up around all types of animals, not just cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of my own cat and dog for most of my life and will do anything to give them the love and care all animals need. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina. I love being a student but I also wanted to look into doing something on the side but that’s also fun. I think it’s always extremely important to be respectful of peoples homes. It’s a personal space where people are meant to feel relaxed and be themselves. Respecting my clients home would be top priority along with the care of their pet(s).
“Adrian was fantastic! I had a last minute trip pop up and had about 2 hours to leave- Adrian responded quickly, showed up for a meet and greet within the hour, and our pups seemed to love her!”
“It was a pleasure to meet Stephanie! She did a great job with Abby & Oscar. Especially since Oscar the cat would not come in the house before we left - I really appreciated knowing he came in and they made friends that night. Looking forward to working with her again.”

About: I have always owned multiple dogs of my own, they are the most compassionate beings in the world! I love playing with them, walking with them, being lazy with them, and giving them lots of treats! I am the proud owner of four dogs, all of them are housebroken, friendly with children, and want nothing but love, and treats! It would be my honor to have your dogs, have a fun play date, with my fur babies😁😁😁🥰 I have a home with plenty of space for dogs, they are allowed on our furniture, we have a room for the dogs, when they don’t feel like roaming the house.

About: I have had cats since as long as I can remember! Any opportunity I can love on kitties makes me incredibly happy. I currently have 2 kitties, Mimi age 11 and Zeke age 4; I could not imagine life without at least 2 kitties and I would love to have more! I am comfortable dosing both liquid and pill form medicines if needed, and I am very familiar with all things concerning kitty life. I will love your babies like they are my own so you can enjoy yourself while you are away. I know how stressful it is to leave your fur babies behind!
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life but got my own cat during college. My baby Arlo is my whole life and I understand that cats are very particular animals. I will do what is necessary to keep your kitty comfy and cared for.
About: As a full-time elementary school teacher, caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and compassion to every cat I care for. I’ve been pet sitting for eight years and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet companion who respects their space, I’ll provide personalized care to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and lots of love on their terms. I pet sit during the summer and school breaks and recently moved to the area, so I’m excited to build lasting relationships with local families and their feline friends!

She was very friendly, responsive, and the communication with her couldn’t have been any easier. She kept me updated on my dog and sent me pictures.

About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
“Our Yorkie, Dottie, seemed to enjoy her time with Sebastian and his family. She must have played a lot because she was tired but sad to leave. I would certainly use Sebastian again in the future and recommend him to anyone.”
“Jessica was amazing! She helped out last-minute when my other sitter canceled. She asked questions to make sure she had all info needed for Cooper. Communicated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures. Clean house and even went extra the before Cooper came over to make sure any small things were picked up off the floor since he’s a puppy and puts everything in his mouth. Her kids were an absolutely delight for Cooper to play with. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Margie took awesome care of our puppy, Jasper. He has separation anxiety, but he was happy to stay with Margie, and when we returned to pick him up, he was glad to see us but was running back to Margie as well, clearly content to be with her too. The backyard is great for small dogs to be safe and play, and the house is very clean. I am very glad to have found Margie since Jasper is not happy staying home alone. He is looking forward to his next stay!”

“Needing a pet sitter for my fur baby while I was visiting my daughter at the University of South Carolina- only for a few hours to watch the basketball game. I didn’t want to leave her in the hotel with all the doors slamming. I was so pleased and thankful to find Gina on Rover- who responded immediately and said that she could watch my Nola. Gina gave me lots of pictures during the visit and made me feel safe and comfortable! I knew she was in good hands! 🐾💕 Would definitely recommend and use again! 5 out of 5 🌟”

About: Growing up I always had dogs (and cats) which made me an avid animal lover from horses to dogs to cats. I have owned several dogs throughout my adult life. I currently own three dogs ( Sputnik, Newt, Ares) and love them more than anything. I work at the zoo with other avid animal lovers. Sea turtles and otters are my favorite btw. I've worked at a doggy day care and have volunteered my time at shelters and other zoos. I'll give you a full report after every visit with your fur kid. I can administer medications if needed. I'm used to all kinds of activity levels. I can accommodate seniors, hyper active and everything in between. I look forward to meeting you and your fur kids! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time playing with your pups. I can easily stop in before work and spend some time with them and even longer after work. I am used to dogs that are escape artists, so your dogs will. always be safe and secure with me. I can easily read a dogs body language so nothing is unexpected.
About: I grew up in a family that bred Pugs! All throughout my life, I've been surrounded by animals growing up. I've had experience with Pugs, Chihuahuas, Jack Russells, German Shepherds, a half Persian cat and a tiny rescue kitten I helped get back on his feet. I love any and all breeds of dogs and cats! I figured since I adored animals so much. That this would just be a natural fit for me! Thanks so much for taking a look at my profile! I will ensure that your pet gets all the care and attention they deserve! I am always going to stand by my word on that. Please don't hesitate to reach out anytime! I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful critter! I currently only work side jobs that I choose my own hours on! So this means I am free anytime that YOU need me! Any day of the week. Any hour of the day! I have a nicely fenced in backyard where our 4 Chihuahuas love to zip around each and every day. From one side of the fence to the other. They love to "greet" our neighbors dogs and have a little bark session every chance they get! I am more than comfortable with taking care of indoor dogs/cats. Taking them out back to run and play. Or even taking them on walks! I have recently really gotten into taking walks myself. So that would be an extra bonus if your dog loves walks too! It would help us both out in getting some much needed exercise!

“daniel has not missed a walk,even in sub zero windchill weather(not required) I am impressed with his ease with annabelle. and reliability during this period of time when i am unable to walk her myself.

This option can help reduce stress and keep your fur baby in a familiar, comfortable space.

About: I have always enjoyed the company of animals, growing up with a rotating cast of cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and reptiles. My current dog is an elderly mixed-breed who is staying at a retirement home (my parent's house) due to pet restrictions at my residence. However, I have years of previous experience as her primary caregiver. I have also ocassionally helped friends and relatives with pet care and house sitting. I would be happy to take on any pet care jobs - young or old, friendly or cold. I am a very active person, so I would be thrilled to take high-energy dogs for long walks, hikes, or runs. I recently graduated with a master's degree and am taking a few months off work while searching for a job in my field of environmental science, so I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am currently unable to host pets in my own residence, but I am open to short and long term house sitting in your residence. I will strive to not only take excellent care of your pets, but also to provide them with lots of love, attention, playful activity, and exercise (depending on the individual pet's needs and wants).

“Amazing experience, extremely communicative and easy to work with could not have asked for a better sitter. My dogs were very happy upon pick up and my dogs love playing with her puppy.”
“Zac was WONDERFUL with Briggs, our 120 lb ALL BOY lab! We were traveling out of the country for 2 weeks and found Zac on Rover….my first time using this site! I was a bit nervous just because Briggs is very high strung and has NO idea how large he is! Zac was brilliant with him….extremely patient (especially with me as I unpacked his Briggs’ bag with his teddy bear and blanket🙄)!!! Zac sent regular updates and pictures. The fact that he trains retrievers and other large dogs was a plus for me. He was always very quick to respond and answered all my silly questions! I will DEFINITELY be using Zac’s services again! Briggs had a GREAT time at “camp”!!!! Thank you Zac for loving on my boy and taking great care of him!!! Lindley”
“Ms. Gina is awesome she took great care of Malichia sent me pictures of her and how comfortable she was with her. I would recommend her services to anyone that wants a genuine person watching your dog/baby.”
“Honey has stayed with Cory and Stacey before and has a great time with them. They send pictures that show that she is comfortable with them in their home. I don’t worry about her, I know she is well taken care of.”
“My dog normally is hesistant of new people but immediately took to Shannon. Shannon taught me about proper intros and health facts around bloating I never knew prior. She not only kept me updated while she boarded my high energy dog everyday she had her, she also was understanding of unexpected car issues i had on the day of pick up. I would recommend Shannon to anyone who needs a safe place for their pet and seeking good communication during whatever service they choose to explore with her. 10000/10 would recommend”
“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.”
“Aubriana was able to take Theo for us at last minute and was very accommodating and sent us lots of photos of Theo having a lot of fun. Theo loves spending time with aubriana and her dogs. We definitely recommend aubriana she took really good care of our baby.”
“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.”
“Lexie was so great with our pups! They had ample play time and she was really attentive to their behaviors in a new place. We got pictures daily and she was responsive on all our questions! Will definitely continue to book with her for all of our trips.”
“Katelyn kept our pup for two nights. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Brice felt at home and loved while we were away. I was able to relax and not worry about our fur baby as we knew he was well taken care of. We will use Katelyn again when we go out of town.”
“This was Ginger’s 2nd stay with Sally. I feel so relieved knowing that my fur baby is getting excellent care. Thank you Sally. Ginger is looking forward to her next stay in a couple of weeks!”
About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
“Jenny was super accommodating and treated Dexter like her own! She sent picture updates as well. Dexter and her dog are besties now! Definitely will be a repeat customer!!”
“Whitney was amazing. She was so easy to work with. I felt at ease going on vacation leaving Denim with this family. I received lots of pictures and will definitely be booking again.”
“Aiko is the best! Sometimes it can be hard for my puppy to get adjusted to someone new, but she felt at home with Aiko pretty quickly! When I picked her up the first time, she was content and well-rested. I really appreciate Aiko's communication with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”
