“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.”
“I can't say enough good things about Karen. My boy was well taken care of, had a lot of fun. Very welcoming and professional and warm. I will definitely be boarding with her again. Absolutely phenomenal!”
“Aubriana was great with Caleb. He was cared for as if he was at home. She sent pictures and videos of him enjoying himself. I'll definitely be using her services again, even if for only for a play date with her baby.”
“Thanks to Gina my rambunctious 10 month old puppy was safe & happy while I visited with lifelong friends & attended the funeral of another lifelong friend. Gina sent pictures & assurances of my puppy’s wellbeing & that he was “no trouble”, a welcome fib. I didn’t know such a service existed but am very glad Rover led me to Gina.”
“Margie is amazing! We left our Cavalier for the first time and he adjusted so well. He stayed with Margie for 6 nights and when we brought him home, he really missed her and some of his new buddies. She is a natural and treats your pet like they are part of her family. Highly recommend her if you have a small breed pet!”
“Sebastian is the absolute best! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He was responsive from booking til pick-up. He consistently updated me and sent many pictures of my baby, Caesar. Caesar has daily topical medicine that must be administered and Sebastian had no problem applying it for me. I truly believe Caesar felt like he was at home while in Sebastian’s care. I will absolutely be using his services again.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. My cat Chanel has been with me for 5 years and my cocker spaniel Bentley for 1 year. I’ll treat your pets like my own with plenty of walks, cuddles, and love. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your fur babies and I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am able to go home throughout the day and check on your pet if I’m not already home. I am usually home all weekend and if not then your pet is welcome to join my activities! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment community with three dog parks, giving plenty of safe space to run and play. I’ll always keep a close eye on them, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for in a secure environment.
“Cory & Stacey are wonderful! They kept my 100+lb lab for three nights recently and were and absolute pleasure to work with. This team was not only accommodating to my big boy, but they were great about sending pics and updates- allowing me to vacation with family worry-free. Having used commercial kennels previously, this was my first experience using Rover or sitters. What a great discovery! I would highly recommend the duo of Cory & Stacey to anyone that needs overnight pet accommodations! You guys rock!! Thanks for a great experience!!”

“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!”
“Shannon was wonderful with our newly adopted dog. She was quick to respond to texts, kept us updated regularly, and was incredibly patient with him as he adjusted. Since he recently came from foster care, earning his trust is important, and Shannon was so gentle and understanding with him. We truly appreciated the care and kindness she showed and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Carol and her husband were truly a God send!! They made our dogs feel right at home kept us updated with the cutest photos and just went above and beyond with great care for them.. We will definitely book them again and I truly recommend them if you’re looking for good hearted compassionate sitters for your pups!!”

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 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).
“You will be hard pressed to find someone as sweet, flexible, and caring as Sheryl! She TRULY cares about our pet and he LOVES to see her coming, which is not true of any other non-family member. Her updates are thorough and she spends real time interacting with Ace. You will not regret choosing her!”

About: I have experience caring for cats with many different personalities, from playful and outgoing to shy and independent. I understand that cats need patience, consistency, and respect for their individual routines. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, litter box care, enrichment, and recognizing when a cat wants playtime versus quiet companionship. My goal is to help every cat feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their family is away.
“Paige is absolutely wonderful. She is a regular caretaker of our 15 year old, special needs cat. He requires oral medication, insulin injections twice a day, and some extra emotional love. We are so happy we found Paige! On another note, she is also trustworthy and flexible. If you're on the fence about who to book for your cat, book Paige!”

So they feel less anxious about a new person in there space.
“Taylor did a great job caring for our two boy kitties! She is thorough, professional, and (most importantly) very caring!

She did everything exactly as we asked and is very easy to work with! We are so thankful to have found Taylor to care for our babies!”

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.
“It was a hot day at the beach and I didn’t feel comfortable taking my dog with me. I needed someone to watch my dog for a few hours. Vas was wonderful! 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. I spent my time at the beach with absolute peace of mind knowing that she is watching my dog closely and he is receiving the best service. My dog loved her and her daughter. Highly recommend Vas and I will definitely ask for her help the next time visiting the area.”
“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.”

“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 🌟”
“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!”
“They are absolutely great! We are doing the day care, and the first night Comet (my super SUPER high energy dog) came home tired! He had all day to play and run around. They have a great space for the dogs. Highly recommend! They sent me updates and kept me informed as well.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I understand the routines, personalities, and little quirks that make each dog unique. Being a lifelong dog mom means I’ve handled everything — feeding schedules, exercise needs, training basics, medication routines, and plenty of love. I’m very active, so your dog will enjoy engaging walks, outdoor time, and fun play sessions that match their energy level. Whether they’re a high‑energy adventurer or a slow‑paced stroller, I make sure every outing is safe, stimulating, and tailored to their comfort. At home, I’m all about affection. Snuggles, belly rubs, ear scratches, and kisses are part of the daily routine. I create a warm, cozy environment where dogs feel secure, loved, and completely at ease. My goal is always to make your pup feel like they’re part of my family while you’re away. I’m a stay‑at‑home mom, which means my schedule is wide open and fully flexible.

Whether you need last‑minute help, daytime care, or consistent weekly support, I’m available and ready to give your pup all the attention, playtime, and snuggles they need. Your pup will have a blast here- a fenced yard to run and play. Have a sweet fur baby here to keep them company and help feel right at home. It’s a fun, safe, and social environment full of wagging tails. I’m also happy to stay in your home if your pup feels more comfortable in their own environment. I provide the same loving care, snuggles, playtime, and attention right where they feel safest. To help maintain their routine and provide consistent, reliable care. This option can help reduce stress and keep your fur baby in a familiar, comfortable space.

I live on a dirt road with very little traffic, so your babies are safe and will have lots of room and fun!!! When your babies are in the house, they are able to do just as you let them do at home. I do separate everyone when they are eating (that way there is no one eating someone else's food. Everyone comes in and sleeps at night. I also have an ADT system on my home so if I am out they are safely put in the house behind locked doors with an alarm system on. When they are outside, I have a camera on the fenced where the pups can be watched from my phone.
“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. Daniell runs with her which is even better for tireing her out! I would highly reccomend Daniel as a dogwalker,Lin Morris,”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since the sixth grade. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted and relied on me to care for their pets. I’m currently in school until 12 every weekday. After that, I am free until 6-8 on Tuesday and Wednesday with another job. I am willing to work with dates and times! I make sure the pets are fed and loved on every time i visit. I walk them/ let them out numerous times throughout the day to make sure they get the potty time and fresh air.
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!
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I chose to Rescue and build lots of love, trust, and friendships with these amazing animals. I have been a dog sitter ever since college, and love getting to know new breeds. If you want someone who will love and take care of your dogs, give me a call. My clients never will realize that you have been gone overnight. They will say pick her, pick her pleeeeeeese.

“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.”
“Aubriana was great with Caleb. He was cared for as if he was at home. She sent pictures and videos of him enjoying himself. I'll definitely be using her services again, even if for only for a play date with her baby.”
“Thanks to Gina my rambunctious 10 month old puppy was safe & happy while I visited with lifelong friends & attended the funeral of another lifelong friend. Gina sent pictures & assurances of my puppy’s wellbeing & that he was “no trouble”, a welcome fib. I didn’t know such a service existed but am very glad Rover led me to Gina.”
“Sebastian is the absolute best! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He was responsive from booking til pick-up. He consistently updated me and sent many pictures of my baby, Caesar. Caesar has daily topical medicine that must be administered and Sebastian had no problem applying it for me. I truly believe Caesar felt like he was at home while in Sebastian’s care. I will absolutely be using his services again.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. My cat Chanel has been with me for 5 years and my cocker spaniel Bentley for 1 year. I’ll treat your pets like my own with plenty of walks, cuddles, and love. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your fur babies and I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am able to go home throughout the day and check on your pet if I’m not already home. I am usually home all weekend and if not then your pet is welcome to join my activities! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment community with three dog parks, giving plenty of safe space to run and play. I’ll always keep a close eye on them, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for in a secure environment.
“Cory & Stacey are wonderful! They kept my 100+lb lab for three nights recently and were and absolute pleasure to work with. This team was not only accommodating to my big boy, but they were great about sending pics and updates- allowing me to vacation with family worry-free. Having used commercial kennels previously, this was my first experience using Rover or sitters. What a great discovery! I would highly recommend the duo of Cory & Stacey to anyone that needs overnight pet accommodations! You guys rock!! Thanks for a great experience!!”
“Wonderful in every single way! They took the best care of my dog, sent me pictures of her every day, and took her on long walks and runs which she loved. Would recommend and will be booking them again!”
“We have never left our dogs with anyone before. Ms. Kathy made the experience wonderful and they were very well taken care of. If we ever have to leave them again we will definitely use her again. Thank you Ms. Kathy”
“Shannon was wonderful with our newly adopted dog. She was quick to respond to texts, kept us updated regularly, and was incredibly patient with him as he adjusted. Since he recently came from foster care, earning his trust is important, and Shannon was so gentle and understanding with him. We truly appreciated the care and kindness she showed and would absolutely recommend her!”
“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.”
“Our Louis is a 5-month old yorkiepoo, weighs 6 pounds, and has never stayed with anyone other than family. We were apprehensive about leaving him with non-family for 5 days while we cruised but did not have a choice. We searched Rover, chatted with a few people, found Nontombe and the end result is that we (and apparently Louis) completely adore Nontombe. Nontombe sent us videos and pictures and it was clear to see Louis was right at home with someone who loved on him and played with him. We were also worried about how Louis would get along with the other dogs being cared for but Nontombe outlined her plan to us to introduce Louis and what would happen if the dogs did not get along and the videos and pictures of Louis and the other dogs made us feel even more comfortable. It was also clear to us that Nontombe loves animals and is great with them. We recommend her for the care of your young and older fur babies and personally, we won’t use anyone else.”
“Sally provided great care for our two dogs and also provided us lots of fun updates regarding our dogs! We could tell they were in loving hands! We’d absolutely rebook with Sally.”
“Lindsey and Aaron were awesome and took great care of our little loved ones! They communicate well, send plenty of pics and regular updates. I highly recommend them for anyone needing to have a safe "temporary home" for their pets while away, they're the best!! Thank you!”
“Lucas was so welcoming and flexible with our plans changing last minute at both drop off and pickup. He was amazing with the dogs and we got so many photos and updates. It was clear he loves what he does and the dogs know it!! Would definitely book with him again next time I’m in town!”
“Whitney and her family were wonderful with my pup! She’s an older dog and walks slow and snores loud and Whitney and her family showed he lots of love and attention, I felt like my pup was on vacation too! It was such good peace of mind to know my pup was being treated so well and cared for and was spoiled with lots of love and cuddles and attention. Thank you so much Whitney!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
