Highly-rated overnight sitters - Saxon
“This was our second time having Dara watch our sweet girl while we are out of town and I can not thank her enough! She is so kind, caring, and took great care of our pup. We will definitely continue to use her pet sitting services for all of our future needs.”
“My babies absolutely loved her! My Maxx requires a complex medicine routine to include insulin shots, treatment for glaucoma, blindness and vestibular disease and a strict feeding routine. She handled it like a champ in addition to caring for my Lady Poo too. My go to person from now on!”
“Heather is an amazing sitter! We got picture updates everyday and was fast responding. Whe. When we had issues getting back home, she was completely understanding and was flexible with how much our plans had changed. I will be booking with her from now on!”
“Fantastic Family and care. My baby loved it and wasn't excited about going home which is a great sign of top care. Appreciate the love and care she got while we were gone. 100% recommend and we will use them again.”
“Angela and her family are awesome! Our dog loves going over there and is always treated well. They follow our house rules such as not getting on the furniture, and they share stories about the funny stuff our dog does during the stay. Highly recommend!!”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Tara was the best possible sitter Nala could have ? She knows dogs very well, and how to handle 1-2 yr old puppy energy. Tara watched Nala for almost 2 weeks as I was traveling to get married, she sent several pictures and updates along the way which made me feel good knowing Nala was well loved and cared for. Will be using Tara again.”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for Garrett and how well he took care of our girl, Sky! Garrett was so patient with us as this was our first time with Rover. He was considerate and informative from our initial messages to the meet and greet and then throughout the entire process. He provided multiple updates (including pictures!) on how Sky was doing each day, and even how much she was having fun with his dog, Dax. Garrett was even kind enough to stay near Sky during meal-time as she was a little nervous eating her meals alone. Garrett’s kindness, communication and the care he offered Sky was stellar. It makes me feel so comfortable knowing we have a great care option for Sky whenever needed—would definitely book again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. It was very easy to book my stay. Joy was very helpful when I needed to modify my stay and when I had questions. She was prompt with her responses as well. She sent me pictures and updates throughout our time away. Moose loved his stay with Joy!! We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Chloe and her husband were super amazing. Great communication and provided photos daily without having to ask. I know my pup enjoyed her time there as she came home crashed on the couch the rest of the day. Guessing she did a lot of running and playing. Thanks Chloe!”
“Your family always spoils my baby doggie to pieces and takes such great care of her. Always great to know that there’s a family like yours that we can depend on to love on our doggie when we have to go out of town. Thank you so much again! Cristina is the best doggie sitter EVER!!”
“Jen was phenomenal! Honestly the best sitter I’ve ever used. She was quick to respond, send updates, and never made me feel like a burden for asking. My dog had the best time and has been pouting since I picked her up. I will always book Jen if she’s available. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog. She’s incredible!”
“Jessica was great. She watched our dog Hunter for a few days while we were picking up our daughter from college. She was communicative and sent pictures every day. Hunter loved playing with Her dog Maple and cuddling with her daughter at night. Hunter seemed like he had a great time. Thanks Jessica.”
“I felt comfortable leaving Buddy with Israel and his wife, both are super sweet! Buddy definitely had fun and I had peace of mind which is priceless!!!! Thank you again for everything! Buddy will see you soon!”

I am capable and punctual, and will make sure your cat gets all the attention and loving they deserve and want. I can administer oral and topical medications. Please let me know any special care needs for your cat, their temperament, and any preferences you have regarding their care!
“Single handedly made me a repeat user here on Rover. Super flexible, communicates consistently, and great with care. Our cats normally don’t leave the bedroom with new people but loved spending time with her. 10/10”
“We can't praise Meghan enough, she is a gem. Polite, dependable and a real cat person. She turned our shy and rather hostile cat into a loving pussycat and even charmed her way into our shy neighborhood cat's heart. Going above and beyond, she gave us peace of mind during our lengthy vacation, nothing to worry about. Always on time, sending photos and detailed reports. She's a keeper. Thank you, Meghan, for all your hard work!”
“Grace was super caring and patient with our two girls while we were away! Keeping up with 3 check-ins a day is not easy, but she made sure the pups got some free time. Definitely would recommend!”
“James was excellent! He helped us last minute and jumped right in. My dogs love him. He sent pictures of them throughout the week and made sure to let us know how they were doing. Definitely plan to book again and would recommend to friends/family!!”
“Lauren is incredible! In a moment’s notice, she watched my sweet baby with separation anxiety while we were touring the beautiful city of Greenville. I wish she could watch her every time I needed a sitter!”
“I’m so grateful for Caitlyn she communicated diligently about our babies. The updates and pictures made us feel so comfortable on our first time away from our babies. She showed great care and compassion towards our 3 kittens and remember all the instructions. Thank you again for excellent service!”
“We left our sweet kitty Elora with Angela and her family over Christmas. We were very grateful for her to accommodate her and bring her into her families celebration. Elora seemed to get along just fine with her and her animals and came home just as content as when we dropped her off. The only thing I would mention for anyone with chemical sensitives Elora did come home smelling like a lot of artificial fragrances as did everything we dropped her off with and needed a good bath (she was not pleased about that) as we are chemical sensitive. This has nothing to do with the quality of care, and the genuine heart of Angela and her family just something to be aware of for those who have chemical sensitivities to artificial fragrances which is why I have rated 4 stars.”
“Cassy is absolutely amazing—responsible and caring. She took the best care of my baby cat and treated her like her own. I received detailed updates, photos, and messages every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would trust her again!”

“Tara has worked out so well for my work schedule in the Spartanburg area! Blue has found another favorite sitter through Rover.com. Tara has been amazing with her responsible/professional yet loving care and communication throughout the day with me, I'm not sure Blue even wants to go home at the end of the day! I am praying that in 13 weeks if I make this job my permanent one, Tara will agree to be our permanent care giver for Blue. Hi, highly recommend Tara without any reservations.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I can remember and truly enjoy caring for animals as part of the family. I love taking care of my neighbors and family’s animals while they are away.

“Anna was great taking care of our dog Mila, she informed us how it was going and even though it was Mila's first experience and she was nervous, Anna knew how to handle the situation. I definitely recommend Anna.”
“Chloe has a special hand with pets that few others have. She cared deeply for my timid kitty on her first daycare visit away from home. I can tell my sweet Mirabelle was taken good care of. If you’re uncertain about who to choose on Rover, look no further than this wonderful young woman! Her home was the perfect environment for my cat, both clean and cozy.

About: I grew up in a farm when I was little. I would feed the cows and the chickens in the morning. At the age of 7 I had bunnies and would take care of them. At the age of 8 I had my own calf as my pet her mother died so I fed her milk in the mornings. At the age of 9 I moved in with my dad and I started my dog loving journey. My love of dogs started with our first rescue her name was Nena. She was very playful and such a wonderful dog, that made me want to dogsit. I started dog siting at 12 and my passion for animals only grew stronger. I just now started my dog siting business again. I am currently in college for nursing. My free time is Friday through Sunday. I want to make sure all my attention is guided toward taking care of your dog which is why I dog sit Friday-Sunday. Your pets are normally kept in my room so that way my full attention is in them. I feed them according to their plan. From the time I wake up they will be taken outside every 2 hours to do their business. I also play with them if you bring toys. They have to bring their bed,food,food and water bowl. Toys are optional.
“Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.”
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since I was little. I have always had a strong passion for animal care and showing all animals the love they deserve. I have put in volunteer hours at the local county fair within the barn, caring for and feeding the farm animals. I have also completed a trading course in farm animal care and veterinary medicine. I myself have two dogs and two cats and they are my whole world and I know your pets are yours too! They shouldn't have to be alone and you shouldn't have to worry about them, so let me ease both your minds! I am currently unemployed elsewhere so my schedule is extremely flexible. Mondays are the only day that I have personal events so feel free to message me for booking! I will first and foremost respect your home when I check on your pets, I am only there for the pets and whatever the pets need unless you specifically tell me otherwise for whatever reason. I will of course ease your pet if they seem stressed, take them out for necessary exercise and potty time, feed them as needed, administer whatever medication they may need at that time, and of course clean up any messes that could be made. I want to make sure they get proper socialization and exercise while they await your return, they won’t feel lonely as long as I can help it!

“Bailey took great care of my dog! She gave me timely updates and sent over lots of photos.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. It all started at age 5 with Rosie, my sweet Shih Tzu-Poodle mix, and grew when our family adopted Judge, a Husky-Golden Retriever mix, when I was 12. Both dogs were my world, and losing them recently has only deepened my appreciation for the love and joy pets bring to our lives. My experience goes beyond everyday care. For the last two years of Judge’s life, he lived with me full-time. As a large dog, he needed extra support, I lifted him, pushed him in a stroller during his final months, and when he was diagnosed with cancer, I managed his medication and care with dedication and precision to keep him as comfortable as possible. I also regularly care for my aunt’s small dogs, including one with paralyzed front legs, handling their special needs with patience and love. As an active person who walks and runs daily, I’m happy to take dogs out for long, energizing walks or keep things gentle for older or mobility-limited pets. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll or a miles-long adventure, I’ve got them covered. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I gave my own. I have a flexible schedule and no current work commitments, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting on short notice. I’m in a transitional period before starting medical school in the fall, which means pet care is my top priority right now. Your furry family member will always have my full attention and time. My Home: My spacious two-bedroom apartment has plenty of room for your pet to roam and relax. We’re located right next to the West Side Highway and a large outdoor park, making bathroom breaks and long walks incredibly convenient. Your pet will have space, fresh air, and adventure right at their paws. Your Home: I will be respectful, tidy, and attentive at all times. I stick to your pet’s existing routine to keep them calm and comfortable in their own environment, treating your home with the same care I would my own. My goal is that you return to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.
About: I’m a registered nurse that also loves animals and would love to walk your pet on my days off. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I work 3 days a week so I have 4 other days of the week to play around with for your pet’s needs. I have 2 dogs of my own as well so I am familiar with caring for dogs. I would care for anyone’s pet as if they are my own. I love all types of animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for almost 7 years and have 8 years of overall experience caring for pets. I’ve babysat my neighbors’ dogs many times, and they trust me to give their pets lots of love, attention, and care while they’re away. I always send picture updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their dogs are happy and safe. I also have a friendly dog of my own who gets along well with other dogs, and with permission, I can bring my dog to interact and play with them to help keep them active and social. I’ve been an animal lover since I was in 3rd grade, and some people even call me a “dog whisperer” because animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I truly believe dogs are one of the most loyal and loving companions a person can have, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight care. I have years of experience caring for dogs and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have friendly dogs for social interaction if wanted, can crate dogs if needed, and always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.
About: I have had pets of all sorts since the age of 4. I have a special place in my heart for animals and always loved caring for them. It is truly my passion in life:) I am available all day seven days a week to watch your pet! I am very flexible and can work with just about any schedule. I have two friendly pups of my own that absolutely love playing with other dogs big and small! I take them on walks to get them the exercise they need and also allow them to roam free in the dog park at my apartment!

“This was our second time having Dara watch our sweet girl while we are out of town and I can not thank her enough! She is so kind, caring, and took great care of our pup. We will definitely continue to use her pet sitting services for all of our future needs.”
“My babies absolutely loved her! My Maxx requires a complex medicine routine to include insulin shots, treatment for glaucoma, blindness and vestibular disease and a strict feeding routine. She handled it like a champ in addition to caring for my Lady Poo too. My go to person from now on!”
“Fantastic Family and care. My baby loved it and wasn't excited about going home which is a great sign of top care. Appreciate the love and care she got while we were gone. 100% recommend and we will use them again.”
“Angela and her family are awesome! Our dog loves going over there and is always treated well. They follow our house rules such as not getting on the furniture, and they share stories about the funny stuff our dog does during the stay. Highly recommend!!”
“Tara was the best possible sitter Nala could have ? She knows dogs very well, and how to handle 1-2 yr old puppy energy. Tara watched Nala for almost 2 weeks as I was traveling to get married, she sent several pictures and updates along the way which made me feel good knowing Nala was well loved and cared for. Will be using Tara again.”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for Garrett and how well he took care of our girl, Sky! Garrett was so patient with us as this was our first time with Rover. He was considerate and informative from our initial messages to the meet and greet and then throughout the entire process. He provided multiple updates (including pictures!) on how Sky was doing each day, and even how much she was having fun with his dog, Dax. Garrett was even kind enough to stay near Sky during meal-time as she was a little nervous eating her meals alone. Garrett’s kindness, communication and the care he offered Sky was stellar. It makes me feel so comfortable knowing we have a great care option for Sky whenever needed—would definitely book again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. It was very easy to book my stay. Joy was very helpful when I needed to modify my stay and when I had questions. She was prompt with her responses as well. She sent me pictures and updates throughout our time away. Moose loved his stay with Joy!! We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Jen was phenomenal! Honestly the best sitter I’ve ever used. She was quick to respond, send updates, and never made me feel like a burden for asking. My dog had the best time and has been pouting since I picked her up. I will always book Jen if she’s available. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog. She’s incredible!”
“I felt comfortable leaving Buddy with Israel and his wife, both are super sweet! Buddy definitely had fun and I had peace of mind which is priceless!!!! Thank you again for everything! Buddy will see you soon!”

“Ayaka and her family were AMAZING with our baby boy during our week long vacation. He was well-loved and taken care of while we were away. She sent precious pictures and videos daily, which was so comforting. She did so well with our anxious and needy pup, Boomer!! We will definitely use her again and can't thank her enough!!”
“Our dog had an amazing stay with Jared! We had tons of great pictures and updates sent to us throughout the stay and we can tell that our dog had a great time and was well loved while she was there. We will be happy to have Jared keep Honey in the future!!!”
