“Walle has such a wonderful time with Whitney and Ryan! Once he realized where we were going he was so excited! I hate to leave him but it’s made way easier know he is well looked after”
“This was our first time ever boarding our 17 month old Shih Tzu. And we had to leave him in the cone of shame for a sore he wouldn’t stop licking. I was uneasy to say the least. But our little guy liked Evelyn from the start. She has a calm, easy going demeanor that he liked instantly. She sent me photos and updates regularly especially since I was nervous about the sore on his skin. His stay went off without a hitch. We will definitely be using Evelyn again. Grateful for her good care of our sweet dog!”
“Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊”
“Merrell took such great care of Saint, both weekends I was out of town. She regularly communicated and sent photos of my pup playing and keeping me updated on how he doing/getting along with her other dogs. I would highly recommend using Merrell for your pet sitting needs!”
“OMG. For my first experience of needing a sitter the bar has been set very high as well as my expectation moving forward. Raquel went above and beyond to give my Ivy a comfortable, playfully and welcoming stay. After telling Raquel the wrong information she was very accommodating and made me feel at ease with the check-ins. I recommend anyone if you need a sitter 10/10 chose Raquel.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care that Tabitha provided for my furry baby! They were incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly passionate about animals. My dog, Rubble, is always excited to see her, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Tabitha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet. We are repeat clients.”
“Thank you sooo much for your patience with TipsCee as she is the shyest but sweetest dog ever and even tho it took the whole 4 days before she really came out of her shell, you remained just as patient, loving & caring as she needed. The multiple daily pics & videos brought comfort to me. We will see you again soon. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU 🙏🏽”
“Sally is absolutely amazing with Charlie. Her regular photo updates put us at ease every time we go out of town, and we know that our little angel is having fun and being well cared for. We are so thankful to have Sally and Charlie can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was so happy with Kayla and Jonathan. I would absolutely use them again. We were travelling internationally and Kayla was amazing at communicating throughout the whole process. She was very flexible, and when our return flight was delayed (significantly) she was very accommodating of a change in pickup time. I had no worries whatsoever for the time that Jesse stayed with them. They made travelling so much easier by providing peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of.”
“First time boarding my pup and Lexie made it a great process. Amazing facility and attention to care. Got updates daily. Will definitely go through her again if I need boarding services.”
“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.”
“Cashew seemed to love Katyra.. she kept me up to date with how he was doing and sent pics while there.. because of all of this we will be using her again.. thanks for taking good care of my Cashew”
“Ms. Monica provided amazing service! She maintained communication and provided pictures and video!! My little pup looked so sweet and peaceful with her. She made us feel like a loved family member! When we picked Bentley up, he was right there cuddled up with her. He even let her touch his paws, which he does not let people he has just met, so. She was very knowledgeable about the large and small, no detail not considered, for example, the type of grass she has and why(because it’s beneficial for doggies)! My pup stayed with a family member as far as I’m concerned and we are ssoooo grateful!! Book with Ms. Monica, because I promise you, you will rest assured knowing your fur baby is with someone that cares for them just as much as you do, shoot maybe even more lol! Thanks Ms. Monica, we will be back!”
“Assatta was amazing I am so grateful for her! She treated my dog like her own and that's all I ask for. She made sure to keep me updated with videos and pictures. I will definitely be booking again!”

“She is absolutely amazing! Not only did she take great care of my cat, but her entire family welcomed Yoma as if she were their own. I wish I could give more than five stars. I knew Yoma had bonded with them when I came to pick her up and she didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much for all the updates and for taking such wonderful care of Yoma.”
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart!

Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I’m happy to help.

About: I’ve always loved taking care of dogs! When I was younger my family had two dogs: a chihuahua named droopy and a German shepherd named Chico. Having them taught me how to care for dogs of different sizes and needs. When it comes to taking care of puppies and senior dogs, I am always patient and attentive. I am more than happy to take care of your pet! I’m available on weekends and weekdays during the summertime for boarding and day-sitting. I can adhere to any feeding, bathroom, and care schedules or instructions provided. I have fenced yard, so I can take pets for outside time. I am only able to petsit from my house and cannot pickup or drop-off your pets.
“Exactly what we expected from their bio on Rover. Courteous, professional and punctual. We look forward to them taking care of our boys for a long time. Thank you Janece and Matthew.”
“I highly recommend Randi. She is very attentive, patient and willing. She has helped me keep the potty training going and he has been amazing. Her dogs are the sweetest so my Xano loves hanging out.”
“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.”
“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.
About: I love dogs and care passionately they are having a fun and safe time when with me, which is why so many of my friends and families throughout the years have asked me to take care of their loved ones! I currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your dogos! I'm available to walk dogs from 9:00a-7p everyday of the week. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can crate your dog if needed. Sadly, at this time I have no dogs of my own. :(
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and began pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around the age of 10. I’ve had a dog of my own for about 6 years now who gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Happy to care for pets of any age and willing to administer medications or provide other special needs to pets if needed. I have a lot of free time in the next couple of months as I am waiting to start a job a few months from now. I will have plenty of time to drop in to check on pets, regular walks, and boarding! I have a very friendly dog that gets along well with cats and dogs alike. I am happy to welcome your pet into my home or come to your home to care for your fur babies too.
“I like that I was able to take a tour, inside and out, of where my girls would be during daycare. The property was kept clean and well maintained. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day. I had an overall very positive experience and would definitely recommend.”
“I would give her more stars if I could! Our dog, Thor, is an 80 lb 8 year old baby that usually gets very stressed when he is away from us. When I went to pick him up, he was glad to see me but not frantic at all. I have never taken him to doggie day care or boarding when he didn’t come home stressed. Today was incredible. He was relaxed and happy. I will definitely book Katyra again and intend to use her for boarding when we go on vacation. She is kind and patient. She figured out that Thor is really chill as long as he is near or can see people. She also figured out that he likes to look out the window and opened the shades for him. What a kind and wonderful dog caregiver.”
“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! ❤️”
“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!”
“Daisy was excellent with my pup. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my sweet boy for the 1st time ever. He was also more relaxed than I expected. She followed up with me regarding his day and made sure to send pics. I will definitely book again!”
About: I grew up on a ranch taking care of all our animals from chickens to horses, peacocks to goats as well as cats and dogs. I did a lot of training with our goat herd growing up, lesh acceptance, packing and giving rides to small children. I am a stay at home mom, so I can truly provide around the clock care for your beloved fur friends. I look forward to petting and cuddling up with some new fur buddies. We have a fairly large home amd one cat at the moment. A beautiful neighborhood to take walks in. We have an automatic litter box for our cats friends as well as a couple large stainless steel litter boxes if needed.
“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.”
“Caroline was a gem we are so thankful we were able to find her with such short notice since we were in town for my brothers army graduation and glad she was able to work with us and our fur baby. We can tell Toby( our fur baby) just had an amazing time with her and the other pups she was very appreciative to him and updated us throughout his day. Will definitely be booking with her again if we come back into town.”
“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.”
“Luiza took amazing care of my pup. She clearly made Zoey’s care and well being a priority . I felt very confident and safe leaving Zoey with her and will certainly contact her again if we are in the area .”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix and a 4-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week.my husband stays at home full time. I have a very flexible schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.
“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”
“Somiya was very proactive and reached out to meet my dog beforehand so that she would know how to best take care of her. I also loved the follow up pictures and notes on how my doggie behaved. I definitely recommend Somiya if you are looking for someone to go above and beyond for your pets needs!”
About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My professional pet sitting experience includes small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. I have a background in animal science and care so I am the ideal sitter for pets with high medical needs and elderly pets. I am willingly to take dogs on long walks or runs, and take them to the park. I am not certified, but I can do basic training (sit, stay, etc) and leash training. I currently work from home, so I am available at home 24/7. Great for pets that are potty training or need multiple play times a day. I abide with the rules and schedule of the owner. Not required, but I encourage a meet and greet for first time clients for care instructions and to ask any questions.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have 7 pets of my own, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, birds, and even reptiles and ferrets. I’ve worked at a pet store and volunteered at dog, cat, and rabbit shelters, giving me experience with pets of all temperaments, ages, and care needs. Whether it’s playtime, basic training, senior care, or administering meds, I’ve done it and I treat every pet like family. I’m a college student home for the summer, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! Depending on the week, I’m available most times. I make it a priority to be fully present and attentive during my visits—whether that means playtime, check-ins, walks, or just giving your pet some extra love and cuddles. Your pet's comfort and routine are my top priority while you're away. In a client’s home, I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and not alone, whether I’m staying overnight or just dropping in. I clean up after them, keep their space tidy, and give lots of attention and affection. During walks, I focus on safety, stimulation, and making it fun for your pet! My goal is always to make your absence feel as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.
About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs my entire life. I also volunteered at the Kershaw County Humane Society. I love spending time with our furry friends and bringing joy to their day-to-day life!

I typically have social events Thursday and Friday evenings, and my Saturdays and Sundays are relatively free (all other days of the week are open). I would take care of your dog(s) based on your instructions. Some might want longer walks while others might need shorter ones. It all depends on the individual. I'd love to get to know your furry family member!

I currently work full time in the school district and have summers off. During the summer I am available at any time. :) During the school year weekends are best, but I can do afternoon & evening visits. I will follow any instructions you have for your fur babies.

I can’t wait to give your furry babies all the love, attention, and care they deserve I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who enjoy making new friends. If needed, I can also provide a crate to make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable.

“The absolute best with Jackson, he loves them. I’m definitely using them again, very responsive, sends lots of pictures and updates on Jackson. Jackson had a little bathroom accident and they washed him. Thanks again! Jackson will see you soon.”
“Alexis did a wonderful job of taking care of our beagle, Wylie. She texted me with an update almost every day. I will definitely have Wylie stay with her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Walle has such a wonderful time with Whitney and Ryan! Once he realized where we were going he was so excited! I hate to leave him but it’s made way easier know he is well looked after”
“Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊”
“Merrell took such great care of Saint, both weekends I was out of town. She regularly communicated and sent photos of my pup playing and keeping me updated on how he doing/getting along with her other dogs. I would highly recommend using Merrell for your pet sitting needs!”
“Thank you sooo much for your patience with TipsCee as she is the shyest but sweetest dog ever and even tho it took the whole 4 days before she really came out of her shell, you remained just as patient, loving & caring as she needed. The multiple daily pics & videos brought comfort to me. We will see you again soon. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU 🙏🏽”
“Sally is absolutely amazing with Charlie. Her regular photo updates put us at ease every time we go out of town, and we know that our little angel is having fun and being well cared for. We are so thankful to have Sally and Charlie can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was so happy with Kayla and Jonathan. I would absolutely use them again. We were travelling internationally and Kayla was amazing at communicating throughout the whole process. She was very flexible, and when our return flight was delayed (significantly) she was very accommodating of a change in pickup time. I had no worries whatsoever for the time that Jesse stayed with them. They made travelling so much easier by providing peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of.”
“First time boarding my pup and Lexie made it a great process. Amazing facility and attention to care. Got updates daily. Will definitely go through her again if I need boarding services.”
“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.”
“Cashew seemed to love Katyra.. she kept me up to date with how he was doing and sent pics while there.. because of all of this we will be using her again.. thanks for taking good care of my Cashew”
“Assatta was amazing I am so grateful for her! She treated my dog like her own and that's all I ask for. She made sure to keep me updated with videos and pictures. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Kathy was great! She took wonderful care of my dog while my partner and I were on vacation overseas. She has several sweet natured dogs and my dog had so much fun playing with them. Kathy also sent daily updates with sweet photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place to leave their pet.”
“Savannah and Chandler took great care of our dog! They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and easy to communicate with. We got lots of pictures of Kane and he looked happy and comfortable. Would highly recommend!”
“Eileen was wonderful! She was very kind and communicative throughout Chyna’s stay. Her home was clean and welcoming, and she consistently sent pictures and updates which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. At one point, her dog got into Chyna’s food, and she immediately offered something toward the cost of replacing it. I really appreciated the gesture because things like that can happen, and her willingness to acknowledge it and help meant a lot. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter.”
“This was my 1st time ever using a pet sitter and it was a great experience, Daquan sent updates throughout the day. Our small morkie is very shy and scary and she broke out of her shell, my fur babies were very comfortable. Will definitely rebook again if needed.”
“This was my doggies third stay with Michael. As always, everything was great. My babies always have a great time when they stay with him. I can’t recommend him enough!!! Thanks for everything.”
“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.”
