“Jack had such a wonderful time staying with Daisy and Piper! Communication was smooth and easy and it was easy to see how much fun he was having from the pictures and videos I received!”
“Sally went for 2 1/2 days. She was happy when she got there. She was let outside in the fenced yard and immediately started to investigate the yard without looking back at me... That says a lot that Sally felt comfortable there. Thank you.”
“Orlena is great! She did a wonderful job of caring for my sweet pup. She is very kind, open in communication and caring. It was great not having to worry about how Tate was doing over the holiday since I was receiving lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Orlena!!!”
“Our dog loves staying with Evelyn. He gets great exercise and we receive plenty of updates and photos/videos. He definitely feels at home which makes for a worry-free vacation for us. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Monica was amazing! She was so warm and welcoming and immediate our girl seemed so comfortable around her. Monica kept us updated on our Cassie who does not travel well and will go off food for a couple days. Monica made suggestions for how to help her and finally got her to eat! Cassie had a great stay and we will definitely use Monica again!”
“Janece and Matthew were great with Denim. Even before his visit began I never had to guess about anything. They had excellent communication. They keep me updated with pictures and videos while I was away. They were even willing to help me with a scheduling change when an issue came up on my side. Top notch sitters!!”
“Raquel was great. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her help without my last minute request. She sent me pictures and kept me updated throughout the days. We will be back again.”
“Isabela was amazing with our yorki. She sent regular updates with pictures and was quick to respond whenever I reached out!! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much for treating our dog like it was your own :)”
“As always- Whitney and Ryan were awesome. They’re so patient with Henry and Henry LOVES their dogs and little girl. Ryan deserves a massive shoutout because my dog burrowed himself under their back deck for like 3 hours. Ryan army crawled underneath and spent soooo much time trying to coax my dog out (it was late too, around 1130pm when my dog came out). Can’t say enough good things.”
“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!”
“Took great care of my 2 doggies and kitty while we were away for a long weekend trip. All my animals were happy upon arrival. I can always tell if they have had a good time or have had anxiety and they were all in good graces. Great experience and will be using Tabitha again! Thank you!”
“Jen is amazing. My dogs received lots of attention and affection. They were so happy that we were afraid they were not going to want to leave. We knew this because Jen took the time to send us lots of pictures and videos every day, which made us feel very comfortable during our trip; we knew the puppies were having a great time. I definitely recommend Jen. We just picked up our puppies today, and we are already submitting another request. Thanks Jen! I am pretty sure Bruno and Canela are missing you.”
“We felt so comfortable that Gina was taking care of our lab while we were away. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog with anyone, and it was a fantastic experience!”
“Nontombe is an absolute GEM 💎! On short notice she was able to take our baby boy Biscuit Latrell for a 4 day stay. This was his first time away from home since we got him and to say we were nervous would be an understatement. Nontombe provided pictures, videos, tips and all throughout Biscuit’s stay. She really put or minds at ease and Biscuit had an amazing time. We will definitely be back! Outstanding service literally 10s across the board! Thank you!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
“They did a great job with my dog and approved our booking on short notice!! Sent lots of pictures and my dog Lucy came home very tired from playing with their pup! Would book again!”

“Lauren was so great with our pups! She was able to help us on super short notice and still made time to come over a day prior for a meet and greet. She was punctual and provided pictures at each drop in. Would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again!”
“Dominic was great. She was very attentive to the needs of our cats and made every agent to make them feel comfortable. She Keir is updated with the status and when issues arose, Dominic handled them professionally and quickly. She is great and we will request her services again.”
“Such a sweet person and took great care of my fur babies! Kept me updated every day and sent pictures as well. Highly recommend Samantha for future pet sitting 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.
“My kitties said we want Katie to watch us again. My kitties were well taken care of and happy when we came home! We got regular updates and would definitely recommend her to watch your pets.”
About: When it comes to family pets, from tiny little munchkin cat breed all the way to Irish Wolfhound, they all deserve the love and respect as a extended family member (or sometime even as our own fur baby). Being raised around Chows and Aussie Shepards, I have experience in both “aggressive” and friendly breeds. A critter is only as bad as the owner. As long as there is at least 24-48hr notification, I’m a pretty flexible person. Seven days a week I’d be available to drop in and say hi, play a little, feed and do potty breaks. Clean as I go to include litter boxes. If being asked to stay overnight, it would be at your location for the best comfort of the animal. My house is a fenced in yard. We typically, based on weather, have my pups run outside once very 2/3 hours. Outside of that, we do regular walks up to 2 miles at least twice a week (again, based on weather). We play games like catch and hidden treat games for enrichment. For the family cat, he is currently maintained by one of my kids but, we allow him free roam and sometimes trips outside on a leash. He has a XXL dog kennel that we will set up when we are outside and he wants to join us to ensure he is bird safe. He very much likes to be a window watcher and enjoys the squirrels a little more than my dogs.
“Ashley helped me immensely by keeping an eye on my cats while I was out of town! She is highly dependable and personable, and she maintains great communication. She treated my cats as if they were her own, couldn’t ask for better care! Will 100% request for her help again if the need arises in the future!”
About: With cats, I understand they’re more independent but still need routine care, feeding, and clean spaces. I handle litter boxes, check-ins, and basic care while respecting their boundaries. I’ve had my own cats growing up and realize they come in many different shapes and sizes with a wide variety of personalities.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, having 9 pet dogs, 2 pet cats, 4 ducks, and 4 chickens. I love all animals and caring for them. I am a college soccer player so I love to be active, I am always taking my dogs for runs and walks! I would love to help out anyone in need of someone to watch their sweet pets! When I am home from school, (Dec/Jan/May/June/July) I am practically on my own schedule. I train soccer and workout on my own time, so during these months I am very available! Previously, when I am taking care of a pet at a client’s home I will ask the owner what they typically do for their pets during the day and try to replicate that as best as I can for the pets!
“Lisa is a fantastic pet sitter! Her genuine love for animals is evident in the care she provides. She went above and beyond to ensure my cats and my house were well looked after, just as if they were her own. I felt comfortable knowing they were in such capable hands. The fact that she lives nearby is an added bonus, making her even more convenient. I highly recommend Lisa's services!”
“I feel like we picked a wonderful and trustworthy person to house sit for us. She was on time, communicated with us during her stay and is just a really nice peron. We are repeat customers!”

“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 .”
“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.”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Daisy is SO KIND, she’s very attentive to your pet and treats them like family. And she’s very willing to work with your schedule. Next time I’m in Columbia I will be using her again, thank you daisy for your kindness, you’re wonderful!”
“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.”

About: Hey, I’m Aubree! I am a life long animal lover with lots of experience caring for all different types of animals. These pets have ranged from dogs and cats to even goats, horses and other farm animals. I am a stay at home mom and like to pet sit in my free time. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 goats, and a horse of my own so I definitely understand the care and love it takes to make them happy. My favorite thing about animals is how individual they are and how much personality each pet has. I would love the opportunity to be able to care for your pet. Please message with any questions or if you are interested in having me care for your pet. I am currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible! It allows me to be available for pet care all throughout the day. During meet and greets, I always like to discuss the best ways to interact with your pets! Each animal is so individual so it allows me to care for them in the best way possible.
About: When your pet is with me, they immediately become apart of our family. Playtime is out of this world, Routines are followed and cuddles are a priority until you’re reunited with your fur baby. I’ve cared for dogs, my entire life so loving on them is second nature. **UNAVAILABLE 9/5-9/9** I work from home until 10 PM but work can follow me. Your pet’s care will include frequent visits up to 4 times a day including walks, playtime and feedings I have a fenced in back patio for your pup to soak up the sun. I also live in the first floor and have no other dogs or kiddos so hopefully your pup likes solitude as much as I do.
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!
About: Hello. I have extensive experience with a variety of animals. As a child I rescued stray cats, dogs, and different wildlife. I've had cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, domesticated rats...literally everything. I currently have 4 rescued ducks, 2 rescued turtles, turkeys and 4 baby tortoises (inside). I have a fenced in yard and numerous references. I do have 4 small kids. I work from home. If a pet is skittish around children, I keep them in my room so there is calmness. I also have a completely seperate room that can be used if they prefer even less human contact. ***PLEASE send a collar and leash when boarding a dog I work from home so your pup would have constant attention as they'd be hanging out with me. I do have a fenced in backyard (it has my outdoor animals it in). If the pup isnt good around farm animal, potty breaks can be on a leash in my front yard I have a fenced in backyard. I am okay with a dog that sleeps in a cage overnight...or not. There's definitely flexibility there if the dog isnt destructive. I will ensure the pup is comfortable and entertained.
“Andrea was amazing with our new rescue. She was responsive and worked with our crazy schedule. Rev came home tired and happy. We will definitely look Andrea up again when we’re in town.”
About: I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours. I follow each dog's individual routine based on the information you provide prior to their stay, including feeding schedules, medications, & any special care instructions. For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit. My dropoff/pickup windows are currently Monday through Friday, 7AM to 10AM & 4PM to 7PM, and Saturday through Sunday 8AM to 10AM. Currently I'm unavailable for dropoff/pickup on major US Holidays. *Hours subject to change based upon availability. I have open space for indoor play & a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Though dogs are free to roam & play while staying with me, during other dropoffs & pickups, dogs are always secured in kennels for their safety.

About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!
About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs/cat/other furry creatures my whole life. I am excited to help care for yours. I have also handled dogs with various behaviors/needs. I currently work full-time as a dietitian at a hospital but am usually pretty free on the weekends and I get off at a decent time so I am able to do an evening walk or drop in on your fur baby in the evening as well if needed! My dog, Axel, is very spoiled as he sleeps in bed with us and he gets daily cuddles. He enjoys going outside so he gets plenty of walks when it is not too hot out but on the minimum, he walks twice a day every day. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and will spoil them as much as you allow me to!

“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.”

About: For over 6 years I've been working in the pet care industry. From 2019-2023 I worked in the dog daycare and boarding business, first as a kennel tech at Central Park Dog Daycare in Oklahoma City, then for almost 3 years at Peachtree Pets in Georgia, where I worked as a kennel manager. During my time as a kennel tech, I received well over 100 hours of training in dog behavior from multiple sources. I have administered medications of all kinds, including insulin, to dogs of all behavior types. From 2023-2025 I worked at Hollywood Feed, where I took their extensive dog and cat nutrition training and sold organic, holistically sourced dog and cat food. From them, I learned the importance of feeding high quality food. Now, my dogs eat better food than I do, but they've never been healthier! I have two dogs of my own, who are my pride and joy. They're happy, spoiled, and have a great bond despite all their differences. Right now I'm mainly working from home as an artist. I plan to begin selling my work at street fairs, but those events only last a few hours on a couple days of the week, so overall, my schedule is currently, completely open and workable. I am completely open to spending as much time with your pet as you'd like me to, whether I'm hanging out with them for several hours each day, or only taking them out to potty briefly, it's totally up to the pet's comfort and your own needs. I've taken care of hundreds of dogs, each with their own specific personality and needs, and am prepared and excited to care for many more.
About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!

About: Other than growing up with numerous pets my whole life, I have had a lot of pet care experience over the past years for families around my community that rely on me when they are away.

About: I’ve owned and trained my first dog since I was 6, I am now 18. My family has recently adopted a puppy. I’ve dealt with bigger dogs and smaller dogs.

Check my profile to see😉 I do not have a part time job yet so I am pretty available during any day of the week at any time ! I just like to know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly I watch pets with a close eye, my two dogs can get into small fights and I’ve learned to keep alert 🚨 I also like to reward for the little things, like going to the bathroom, keeping composure around people/animals, and tricks.

“Janece and Matthew were great with Denim. Even before his visit began I never had to guess about anything. They had excellent communication. They keep me updated with pictures and videos while I was away. They were even willing to help me with a scheduling change when an issue came up on my side. Top notch sitters!!”
“As always- Whitney and Ryan were awesome. They’re so patient with Henry and Henry LOVES their dogs and little girl. Ryan deserves a massive shoutout because my dog burrowed himself under their back deck for like 3 hours. Ryan army crawled underneath and spent soooo much time trying to coax my dog out (it was late too, around 1130pm when my dog came out). Can’t say enough good things.”
“We felt so comfortable that Gina was taking care of our lab while we were away. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog with anyone, and it was a fantastic experience!”
“Nontombe is an absolute GEM 💎! On short notice she was able to take our baby boy Biscuit Latrell for a 4 day stay. This was his first time away from home since we got him and to say we were nervous would be an understatement. Nontombe provided pictures, videos, tips and all throughout Biscuit’s stay. She really put or minds at ease and Biscuit had an amazing time. We will definitely be back! Outstanding service literally 10s across the board! Thank you!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
“We invited Kathy to meet Mikobefore we all made final decision and our Miko fell in love! Kathy was awesome regarding staying in touch with us with pictures and text messages while Miko was at her house! Miko loved being there and made friends and gained a buddy! Our hearts were are so grateful for Kathy and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing Miko was well cared for, safe and happy! We would highly recommend Kathy if you are looking for a sitter who will take great care of your pet, show them lots of love and attention and stay in touch! She is very sweet and we are blessed to have found her on “Rover”’”

“This is the second time we have booked with Shannon and we will book again! Our dog is excited to be there and happy when we pick her up! Shannon has been great about sending updates and was very accommodating with our travel schedule. We are very happy to have found her!”
“Michael did a great job caring for Boots. He was easy to communicate with and provided frequent updates while boarding him for the few days I was in town. Michael also was flexible and able to watch Boots an additional night when my apartment hunting took longer than expected. I will definitely be contacting Michael for my future dog care needs when I relocate to the area!”
“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.”

“Lucas was so great! He was very attentive and responsive to any questions I had. He sent me many photos while I was away and kept me updated on how my babies’ day went with his new friend Bo.? I can tell Rigatoni had a good time with Bo and was in great hands in their household . Thank you for everything!!?”
“Merrell was an ideal sitter for my dog, Trixie. She communicated well, and sent lots of photos. Her home is neat and clean and she has a large fenced yard. I will definitely ask Merrell to keep Trixie again when I visit Columbia for football games!”
“We’ve used Sally’s dog sitting services a few times now and are ABSOLUTELY thrilled with her care of our Henry! She’s really great about following any instructions you leave with her, she communicates updates/pictures of your pet while in her care and she’s super responsive when you message her via the Rover app. More importantly, our Henry loves her! So thrilled to have found Sally!”
“Wonderful in every single way! They took the best care of my dog, sent me pictures of her every day, and took her on long walks and runs which she loved. Would recommend and will be booking them again!”
