“They took amazing care of my dog for over two weeks! Daily walks and lots of picture updates every day. He looked happy and well taken care of. Very satisfied and would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Eleftherios and Nicole were exceptional. They made my dog feel right at home. He has had issues with anxiety while staying at kennels, but he did great being in their home. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures throughout his stay! Thank you both so much!”
“Dear Ms Karen, Thank you for taking such good care of me while my parents were out of town. I was not expecting my own doggie vacay but I did have a really good time! I enjoyed our walks and especially my relax time just hanging with you. I will tell my parents how good of time we had so I can come see you again soon! Love, Ginseng”
“She was wonderful with Spike! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for while we were away. Her 3-year-old absolutely loved him, which was one of the sweetest parts of the whole experience. Spike was a little shy about eating at first, so she actually hand-fed him his breakfast until he felt comfortable enough to eat. That told me everything I needed to know about how loved and cared for he was while we were gone. Spike came home happy and clearly very comfortable with his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to keep him. Highly recommend!”
“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”
“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!”
“When I say she is a great dog sitter, I really mean it! She is a great dog sitter! She sent regular photos and updates throughout my dog’s stay. She loves animals and has a wonderful demeanor, spirit, and personality. I highly recommend her for any dog services that she offers.”
“Aubriana was fantastic! She was super responsive and kept me updated throughout the stay with great pictures and videos. My pets were exceptionally well taken care of, and I couldn't be more thankful. I'm so impressed with her care and would absolutely book her again!”
“Such a great experience! Yolanda was attentive to our pets and took lots of pictures for us to see how they were doing during their stay with her. I recommend Yolanda! We had no worries or concerns while she had the pups. That speaks volumes when you leave your fur babies for a week with another person. We would select Yolanda's profile again when we need a sitter. She was great!”
“Niagara was the absolute best!!! I wish I could give her more than five stars for her services that were provided, because she deserves them all. Our little Dorkie Bella stayed with her for six days while we went on vacation. I was very hesitant at fist about leaving her so far behind. This was our absolute first time ever leaving Bella with anyone since the day we picked her up from the breeder. We received so many videos and pictures of Bella. It made me feel so much better. I highly recommend Niagara for your pet needs! Thank you once again for everything ❤️”
“This was the first time leaving Cher Chee anywhere except a Kennel. Margie made me feel relaxed and Chee Chee took to her right away. We were gone a week and I felt certain she was in good hands. I will definitely use her again.”
“Another great overnight stay with Debbie. She’s quick to respond, sends pictures during stay and we know Charlie is in good hands. He came home happy and tired from playing with new friends. We always use Debbie when in Columbia. Highly recommend!”
“Celia did a fantastic job caring for our pup. We received pictures every day. She was very responsive to messages/questions. Our pup was happy with her and came home his usual self. We will definitely use her again when the need arises.”
“Dolly had a great time with Stacey and her family! Stacey kept me updated with pictures during her time there. She walked her and kept her active! Would definitely recommend and bring Dolly back again.”

“Emily did an awesome job taking care of my kitties, doggie, plants and birdies while I was out of town. She gave me frequent updates and pics of my little family and they all were alive and well when I returned. I would absolutely use her again…and again…and again..!:)”
“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”
“Sheryl did a great job for us for a last minute trip. She took good care of my cats and left everything just as it should be. We haven’t met in person yet because this was so last minute but she was a delight to speak with on the phone and did a FaceTime visit with me so I could show her around and how to take care of my cats. We will definitely use her again. She has also sat for my Granddog Jax and they loved her as well. She is loving and attentive with the animals.”
“Katie was amazing with our two crazy dogs! She was kind and respectful to our house and our routine. She cleaned up an accident for us and she came over to meet the dogs prior to the drop ins, which is super important! I would love to use Katie again in the future and I highly recommend her!”
“I can’t thank Ally enough! First time using Rover and she should seriously be part of their ad campaign! Ally went above and beyond with our 4 fur babies and was an absolute treasure when it came to updates at home. Which gave me the peace of mind to actually be able to enjoy our time away. Thank you so much, Ally!”
“McKenna is very nice and patient with the animals. Prancer my Morkie loved her and even my big male cat who won’t make up to anyone made friends. I enjoyed the pictures and updates while I was away. She is very dependable, and I will be calling on her again. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and understand that they each have their own unique personalities and comfort levels. Some cats want constant attention and playtime, while others prefer to take their time warming up to someone new. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are and let them set the pace. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages, including playful kittens and senior cats who may need extra patience and attention. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of playtime and lots of love and companionship. As a pet parent myself, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing your pets are being cared for by someone who truly treats them like family. Whether your cat wants to chase toys, curl up for cuddles or simply have someone quietly nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away.
“Qais did such an awesome job taking care of my 2 kitties on short notice. His communication with us was excellent, and he sent pictures of my babies while they were in his care. I will definitely rebook with him when the need arises!”

About: I have had cats all my life. I love caring for them and watching them warm up to new people. They don't trust easy like dogs so winning over a cat's affections is always heartwarming. I have experience with giving medication, cleaning litter boxes and more.
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pelion
“Jennifer and her husband were so kind and made me feel so comfortable with my first Rover experience! They have a great fenced in backyard for dogs to play in, and their dogs are very sweet. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a sitter!”
“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: 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.
“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: 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.
“Buttercup had a great time with Kira and friends. She came back happy, tired, and well taken care of. Kira was friendly and helpful with our new baby fears. Buttercup will be back for sure?”
“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!”
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. I’m home throughout the day and able to care for puppies and dogs anytime. 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.
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own.

I share my home with three of my own beloved pets, each with their own designated areas to ensure everyone’s comfort and compatibility. They’re friendly and playful, and happy to socialize if your pet enjoys company—but I always respect each animal’s individual needs and boundaries. One of my pups is a bit of a grumpy gentleman, so he has his own peaceful space to relax in, away from the action. I provide a spacious shop building for them to sleep in, with plenty of room for crates of all sizes. The space features concrete floors for easy cleaning, excellent airflow, and multiple fans to keep it cool and well-ventilated. The temperature stays comfortably cool, even during warmer days. For added peace of mind, the area is monitored with a security camera, and I personally do a nightly walk-through to check on each pet and make sure they’re safe and settled for the night. I’m home full-time, so your pet will never be short on supervision, attention, or affection. Whether they’re seeking playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the love and companionship they deserve.

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dog when they are out of town each year, and have grown to love caring for pets of all kinds.

About: I am a certified dog trainer in sc, I worked at the local petco for three and a half years as their senior dog trainer. I worked as a dog bather for 2 years. I can do nails if the dog is not aggressive. I worked at a local boarding, daycare, grooming, home visit, and dog walking facility for 2years as well. I also have vet tech training, so medication is not a problem. I currently have made this my full time job. My availability is pretty open, and I’m very flexible with my days and times. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message! I am not currently doing boarding in my home. I just don’t have the room, unfortunately.I have a lot of experience house sitting and doing home visits. Dog walking, boarding, grooming, dog training, vet tech, I’ve done it all.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have experience with a wide variety of pets and personalities. I have extensive hands-on experience with small animals, especially rabbits, having cared for many of my own over the years and understanding their unique needs, routines, and behaviors. I also have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends, with limited weekday availability depending on the timing. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’ve cared for rabbits for over 15 years and have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, litter box and habitat cleaning, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any other care preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise or enrichment, and lots of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
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: i have had four years experience working with dogs, including boarding and daycare services, as well as Rescue. this does include dogs who need medicine or special care as well. i deal with many different breeds, and sizes of dogs every day. I have 5 pups i call my own who love adventures and learning new tricks and i’ve owned cats growing up. i am not afraid to get a little fur on my clothes or even a little dirt, because what’s a pet without a little fur? I also do not mind simple grooming as i love trimming my pups nails and fur when they need it, but i am in no way a professional. i do have a young child so dogs must be okay with them. I am off atleast 2-3 days during the week. I have lunch break and some days I work night shift, My availability depends on my schedule but i typically have a few hours midday and afternoon to spare. I have 3 acres of fenced yard and plenty of toys to keep your pup safe and having fun. We do have big pens set up in case dogs need to be seperated or need a break.
About: I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide more than just pet sitting, and I create a loving, comfortable environment where dogs feel safe, happy, and cared for until their family returns. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, and I enjoy creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean and safe, follow any special instructions from the owner, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
About: Need a reliable pet sitter? I have been pet sitting for 14 years now and would love to be your pet sitter on a part time, full time or occasional basis. I am a huge animal lover and will give your babies the kind of care you would give them while out of town on vacation or business or if you are just at work and need someone to come check on them. I have 3 dogs of my own. Big and small. I had a special needs dog years ago. So I know how to handle dogs that maybe be sickly. I also know how to do insulin and allergy shots, if needed. Please consider me for any of your pet sitting needs. Thanks.
“Ally is great with my GSD whether they take a walk or play in the yard. She’s patient when he’s not happy to go back in his crate. Definitely a go to when I need someone to care for him.”

“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!”
“Eleftherios and Nicole were exceptional. They made my dog feel right at home. He has had issues with anxiety while staying at kennels, but he did great being in their home. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures throughout his stay! Thank you both so much!”
“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”
“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!”
“When I say she is a great dog sitter, I really mean it! She is a great dog sitter! She sent regular photos and updates throughout my dog’s stay. She loves animals and has a wonderful demeanor, spirit, and personality. I highly recommend her for any dog services that she offers.”
“Aubriana was fantastic! She was super responsive and kept me updated throughout the stay with great pictures and videos. My pets were exceptionally well taken care of, and I couldn't be more thankful. I'm so impressed with her care and would absolutely book her again!”
“Such a great experience! Yolanda was attentive to our pets and took lots of pictures for us to see how they were doing during their stay with her. I recommend Yolanda! We had no worries or concerns while she had the pups. That speaks volumes when you leave your fur babies for a week with another person. We would select Yolanda's profile again when we need a sitter. She was great!”
“Another great overnight stay with Debbie. She’s quick to respond, sends pictures during stay and we know Charlie is in good hands. He came home happy and tired from playing with new friends. We always use Debbie when in Columbia. Highly recommend!”
“We enjoyed the pictures we got of our dog’s stay. The communication was awesome! Our dog is still tired! We felt like he was in great hands and would gladly choose Whitney and her husband to watch our dog again!”
“100% recommended! I have three adult Shih Tzu dogs and I've never left them with anyone before, but I had an emergency trip and Nontombe was my support and salvation to take care of my babies. She took all the precautions I asked her to with them, and amazingly they adjusted to her quickly. Not only did she make me feel comfortable, but my babies also had a great time. I would definitely hire her services again! Nontombe is a lovely person, very kind and patient❤️”
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.
“Gina was so patient with our dog Luna! She sent lots of updates and was even kind enough to administer Luna’s ear ointment. We really appreciate the all attention she gave her!”
“As a Rover sitter myself, I’m very picky about who I choose when I need a home-away-from-home for our shih-tzu Gus. Sally could not be a better choice! She provided daily updates with cute photos, and she loved on Gus as she would her own dog, making him feel comfortable and at home. I will use Sally every time I need a sitter!”
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
