“Here’s a polished review you could post: This is the second time we have utilized Brennan’s services through Rover, and once again she exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and attention she provides our fur babies while we are away. Brennan kept us updated throughout the day with multiple photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. It is obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like part of her own family. Our dogs absolutely love spending time with “Aunty Brennan” and her family, and we can tell they feel comfortable and cared for in her home. That means the world to us. We are so thankful to have found someone we trust completely with our babies. We will definitely be using Brennan again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. 100% guaranteed to provide the very best care for your fur babies!”

We arrived to the home and she welcomed Penny and myself with a warm welcome. Let’s just say it was a great fit! Kirsten was gentle and warm with Penny. She updated me with pictures and informed me on how Penny was adjusting. I definitely would recommend Kirsten to take care of your fur baby. I will be definitely using Kirsten in the future. Thank you, Kirsten!”

About: I have been caring for pets for 30 years. Not only my own pets, but our friends and families pets. I have rescued many dogs and cats over the years and even a bird or two.

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.

“Kylie house-sat for us for a week with our two kitties, one of whom needed oral medication 2-3 x a day and she did great! She was super responsive throughout the week when I had concerns or questions, took great care of my kitties, and even cleaned up after a few messes that the kitties made. The house was in great shape when we got back and she even brought in our mail and packages for us throughout the week! Would definitely recommend her and would use her again! 💕🐈⬛🐈”

About: I’ve spent over 20 years caring for pets, and I truly believe they’re family—not just animals. I’m a proud owner of four high-energy dogs, so I’m very comfortable with active breeds, strong personalities, and pups who need both structure and affection. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—because that’s how I’d want mine treated. I work from home - my role is very autonomous which comes with a lot of flexibility during the day to help care for your pet. I care for your pets in your home according to your preferences, routines, and safety guidelines. I understand how important trust is when welcoming someone into your space. I have four dogs of my own who are family, and I provide that same level of attentive, respectful care to your pets while maintaining a safe and calm environment.
“We were visiting Tifton, GA for a few days and wanted to find a sitter where our 2 year old active black lab could run and play and enjoy the day while we were sight-seeing. I requested the stay the day before and Michelle responded to my request within 15 minutes! Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.
“We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.”
“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!”
“Isabella and her family are so nice and pleasant. They send pictures and keep me updated with Jett’s activities during the day. He gets excited when I mention her name which is a good sign.”

About: We are a military family, we’ve moved around quite a bit and have opened our home to so many dogs in so many different states. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs). We have a private yard (unfenced, leads and leashes used and always supervised). We recently welcomed a dog permanently into our home so we do have one female dog in the house, she is crated when needed and very friendly otherwise. 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!
“From Day 1, Orlena has been a pleasure to book with. My pup is always excited to go to her house. Orlena provides great feedback, and she shares wonderful pictures at the conclusion of each visit.”
“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!”
“My husband and I had to take a long day trip to house hunt and needed someone to watch our 11 week old puppy while we were gone. Daisy will be our go-to forever now! She treated Rookie like her own, giving him love, treats, respecting how we were training him, and kept us updated throughout the day. I was worried about leaving my puppy and having him regress, but he thrived there and didn’t have one accident! I know this is due to Daisy being attentive and so kind. It was also a dreary, rainy, muddy day and she just embraced it and let the dogs have fun too. My pup and her pup had a blast. Can’t wait to Rookie to spend time with Daisy again!”
“Qais is the perfect rover! Qais was very kind and compassionate to my dogs needs and had awesome communication skills. Qais send picture and videos as well as daily updates. Qais is the man and I will be rebooking in the future! If you’re looking for a great person to care for your fury family book with Qais! Thank you Qais!”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.

About: I have grown up in a household full of animals. I’ve always been the kid to stop and help an animal. I love watching animals aswell as trying to teach them tricks !

Feel free to reach out and contact me for more information ! 🩷 I’m currently a freshmen in college but can work with your schedule as long as you can work with mine ! Weekends would preferably work better but I can work with you ! I currently do not accept at home sitting due to me not owning my own house. However when I get my own place I will ! I can crate or take them out whenever is needed

“Here’s a polished review you could post: This is the second time we have utilized Brennan’s services through Rover, and once again she exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and attention she provides our fur babies while we are away. Brennan kept us updated throughout the day with multiple photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. It is obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like part of her own family. Our dogs absolutely love spending time with “Aunty Brennan” and her family, and we can tell they feel comfortable and cared for in her home. That means the world to us. We are so thankful to have found someone we trust completely with our babies. We will definitely be using Brennan again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. 100% guaranteed to provide the very best care for your fur babies!”
