“When our dog sitter canceled the day before we were to leave, Someone recommended Rover. I was hesitant, but I found Sabastian and was happy with his bio. He responded immediately and agreed to get our dog the next day. I am so thankful to them. He and his family took such good care of our baby. He sent us pictures throughout the stay and reassured everything was great and our dog was enjoying thier dogs. Our dog was well taken care of and healthy and happy when we picked him up. Sabastian was very welcoming and kind to us and our dog and I am so thankful that we found him. We will definitely use him again.”

“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.”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family.

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!”
“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.”

“Aimee is wonderful with our two fur babies! She takes them out for potty breaks and walks, and gives them lots of snuggles. When we can’t be home during the day, we always feel comfortable knowing Aimee is coming by.”
“Cory & Stacey were Great! They treated our cats as if they were their own. Their daily comments reflected the careful attention they paid to them. And the pictures taken always helped to reassure us that the cats were in great hands. We will definitely ask for them the next time we need them!”
“We can not recommend Kelli enough! She took such great care of our two cats during an 8-day trip, with AM and PM check-ins to feed them, scoop the litter boxes, and make sure they had their TV on. Every visit came with a bunch of photo updates, which was so reassuring while we were away. It was clear the cats were comfortable and getting plenty of attention. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was beyond just the cats. She noticed our houseplants were within reach and getting too much direct sun, and took it upon herself to move them somewhere safer. Coming home to happy cats and a clean, tidy house was the best feeling. We'd book her again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Kelli!”
“Jennifer is an amazing sitter. She goes above and beyond for my rat babies! She treats them just as she would my dog honestly, She adds a ton of peace and mind each time I have to be away from any of my pets. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Ally did an amazing job taking care of my kittens. They were played with, fed, and their litter boxes cleaned. She even went above and beyond by providing the stray kitties food (just a hobby I've developed)! I highly recommend and will rebook.”
“Anna took amazing care of my cats with complex medical and relational situations. She put even my most anxious cat at ease. Her communication was so detailed and so helpful. And the pics she sent almost made me feel like I was right there with them. I couldn't be more grateful for the care she gave them and the peace of mind she gave me while I was traveling!”
“Jada was able to help us with our cats on short notice and did an awesome job. Based on the pictures she sent us, even the skittish cat we have took a liking to her!”
“We used Jade as a sitter for the first time for a weekend trip. She took the time to find all 4 cats on each visit, including the shy ones. She sent photos and updates each visit. We will definitely schedule with her again!”
“Ashley took super great care of my cat, treated her very well, and always gives me updates on her when she visits to give me peace of mind. I highly recommend Ashley to take care of your fur babies, and would reach out if I need a pet sitter again!”
“Morgan took care of our cat while we were away. We loved seeing her daily messages and pictures and came home to a very happy kitty! Thanks Morgan, for taking such good care of our guy!”
About: I am an avid animal lover, looking for a fun side gig to help pay for my upcoming wedding. I have taken care of many animals for friends and family (including dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, bunnies, and mice). My own home has never been without at least one fur baby and is currently being ran by Penny and Pistol; 2 very adorable and rambunctious kittens. Also for most of covid, I spent my time volunteering at NAWS animal shelter in Chicago, which allows me to be well versed in many dog + cat ages and personalities. If you need some time away or work schedules are conflicting, I know the importance of each and every animal to you all, and would love to relieve any stress by helping out! I have just moved to the area from Chicago and will be starting a position as a corporate events manager at a nearby hotel. This will allow for some hour flexibility, but for the most part I am away from 7:30a-4p M-F. I do get an hour lunch break, so depending on your location, can utilize this to let any animal outside or just come by for some cuddles and attention. Otherwise, I am great with early mornings, later nights, and am available weekends. For most of us, these animals are our children. I know first-hand how scary it is to leave one of your furry family members in the care of strangers, and it is extremely important that you choose the person who will love and care for them as much as you do. Each animal is different and needs to be treated as such. I know that it is so important to read the signs these animals give off so that they are comfortable and happy, especially being away from their human. I love a good routine and will be adamant to stick to a specific regime if there is one. Also, If your animal is for it, I love a good cuddling sesh - so extra plus for those animals that don't understand boundaries.
“This was my second time booking with Stephanie. She sent lots of pictures let my cat outside and of course played with him 😻She even set aside a can of wet food that didn’t agree with my kitty so I wouldn't make the mistake of buying it again. Which was super helpful!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lexington
“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!”
“Nicole and Telly are AMAZING!!!! They have helped me and my dogs through an incredibly stressful transition moving across country. They treat my dogs like part of the family! My girls look forward to spending their day with them and their dog Apollo. The dogs wrestle together, bask in the sunshine, roll in the yard and go on long walks. When I pick them up they are POOPED and sleep the whole 20 min back to the Airbnb that we are currently staying in. This is so helpful for one of my dogs who has massive anxiety issues, because she’s too tired to stress about all of the changes we’re going through. Nicole, Telly and their kids truly love animals and are fabulous caregivers! I feel so fortunate to have found them!🙏🏻”
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.
“Sebastian and his family were so very kind—and my Jet had a great time with them!! We will definitely call on them for our Rover needs anytime we are visiting Columbia! Thanks for an awesome experience! ❤️”
“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.”
“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 🌟”
“Shermida is amazing! Super sweet and amazing to work with. Great response times and communication, wants to know how to best work with pups to make time with the the best it can be. Would highly recommend! Would love to be able to have my girls with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and taking our 4.5 month old puppy to daycare and we were very nervous. When we first met Gary he put our nervousness to ease as he was so kind and caring. Gary took great care of our puppy as if he were his own and sent us pictures to keep us updated! Our puppy had a great time and we definitely recommend Gary! We will absolutely be bringing our baby back for future stays! Thanks Gary! You are the best!”
“Luna had a fantastic time with Shannon and her daughter. They were caring and attentive to Luna's need and we will definitely be using their services again. Shannon reached out with updates and pictures throughout the day and is a very good care giver.”
About: My husband and I have raised our border collie/husky mix together from 6 weeks of age and she is one of our biggest blessings! I love dogs because of her and see them as a member of the family. Would love to help take care of yours! Currently in between jobs—I’m a physician assistant—so I have extra time to fill! Happy to have dogs over to play with Panda during the day or help with walks and potty breaks! We have a fenced back yard here at our house. For walks I would want a retractable leash and follow any special instructions you have!
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my dog. She provided regular updates, including pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy & well-cared for. I highly recommend Jessica & I will definitely be booking with them again!”

She has had many dogs in the home, goes to the dog park regularly as well. Crates are highly encouraged for Dogs safety when we are gone. You just never know In a new environment. I have a medium sized one if needed.
“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.

About: I have worked at a dog kennel for two years and have experience working in a veterinary office. I have experience administering a variety of medication, including insulin, eye drops, pills, topicals, and more. I am currently working full-time at a dog kennel. On days that I am working, I go in at 7:30am, but get a break from 12-2pm and from 6-7:30pm. I do not work every day, so I will be available for whole days at times. I do not offer pet care in my own home as I live with my parents and have another dog at home that can be dog selective. But I am more than happy to offer pet care at your home.
“Great communication and I’m sure the dogs enjoyed their time with her. Will definitely be booking again just due to her overall communication in order to make sure things are set up for the day of a scheduled walk.”

About: Hi! I’m Hollie, I’m 25, and I have a ton of experience with animals of all kinds, I grew up with cats/dogs/turtles/birds pretty much any animal you can think of!

I’m comfortable with all breeds, I have 4 dogs, mainly big breeds (Alaskan malamute, husky, golden retriever, lab mix) but I love my small dogs too! I also have 4 cats who are my babies. I rescued all of my pets. I treat every animal as if it’s my own, even strays, you will never see me drive past a stray without trying to catch it. Most of the time I prefer animals over humans! If you reach out to me to pet sit your baby, I will treat them as if they are my own. I know how hard it can be to choose the right person for your beloved fur babies, and I would love to be the one to provide a sense of comfort while you are out of town!
