“Lexie is fantastic! She took such good care of our two dogs over Thanksgiving. The indoor and outdoor spaces she has created for the dogs are wonderful, with plenty of room for them to run around and play together. Lexie sent us one little update a day to see how well the dogs were doing and how much fun they were having. She was very thorough during the intake process to ensure the dogs' individual needs were met. We could not be happier with their care and will be back 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 team was not only accommodating to my big boy, but they were great about sending pics and updates- allowing me to vacation with family worry-free. Having used commercial kennels previously, this was my first experience using Rover or sitters. What a great discovery!

“I appreciate Nick so much! I needed a pretty last-minute booking while traveling down to Columbia to visit family, and he accepted Mateo within just an hour or two. He took such great care of him and sent me pictures throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. Even within the first 10 minutes, I texted to check on Mateo, and Nick reassured me that he was doing great and that he was enjoying his company. His communication was amazing, and he really took the extra steps to make sure Mateo was comfortable and well taken care of. As someone with a reactive dog, I’m VERY particular about who I trust to watch him, so I’m really glad I found Nick. Anytime I’m traveling to Columbia and need someone to watch Mateo, Nick will definitely be my first choice!”

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 🤩”

“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life and am also very comfortable caring for cats. I have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, bathing, and keeping pets on their usual routines. My own dog requires a little extra care, which has given me experience with pets who have special needs. I regularly manage multiple medications, help with mobility by carrying my dog up and down stairs, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe throughout the day. Because of this, I understand that some pets need a little more patience, attention, or assistance than others. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I also have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ll always follow your instructions and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their usual walks, giving medications, or keeping up with any special care they need. I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!

“Nicole and Telly are AMAZING!!!! They have helped me and my dogs through an incredibly stressful transition moving across country. They treat my dogs like part of the family! My girls look forward to spending their day with them and their dog Apollo. The dogs wrestle together, bask in the sunshine, roll in the yard and go on long walks. When I pick them up they are POOPED and sleep the whole 20 min back to the Airbnb that we are currently staying in. This is so helpful for one of my dogs who has massive anxiety issues, because she’s too tired to stress about all of the changes we’re going through. Nicole, Telly and their kids truly love animals and are fabulous caregivers! I feel so fortunate to have found them!🙏🏻”

About: Hi there! I’m Erica — a lifelong animal lover who has shared her life with all kinds of pets. Today, I’m lucky enough to have one rescue dog and two rescue cats, and they are truly my babies. I don’t consider them pets; they’re my children. They follow me from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, and they bring so much joy and personality into my life. Before adopting my own crew, I fostered dogs for a rescue group, which gave me experience with pups of all backgrounds, personalities, and needs. That time taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals feel safe, understood, and deeply cared for. When you trust me with your fur children, my number one priority is giving you security and peace of mind while you’re away. I want you to know they’ll be cared for with the same love, attention, and respect you give them every day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding routines, or special instructions, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cherished. We would love to welcome your fur babies into our extended family and treat them as if they were our own. We truly love to love on four‑legged fur babies. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life. My own rescue dog and two rescue cats are deeply woven into my daily routine — from morning feedings and playtime to evening snuggles and winding down together. Because I’m so used to giving consistent love, attention, and structure to my own pets, adding care for your pet fits seamlessly into my schedule. I’m home regularly throughout the day, which allows me to provide reliable check‑ins, feeding, litter box care, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet needs quiet company, interactive play, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I’m able to incorporate their needs smoothly into my weekly rhythm. In my own home, caring for animals is part of my everyday rhythm. My rescue dog and two rescue cats are truly my babies, so I’m constantly tuned in to their needs — feeding routines, fresh water, clean litter, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because pet care is already woven into my daily life, extending that same level of attention to your pet feels completely natural. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comforting as possible. I follow your instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, litter box care, medications, playtime, or quiet companionship. I’m patient with shy or sensitive pets and always move at their pace, making sure they feel safe and understood. I also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always the same — to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and gentleness I give my own.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have over 10 years of experience in pet care services, and I’m passionate about providing loving and reliable care for your furry friends. I also have a 7 year old dog named Karson who’s super friendly and loves meeting new friends! I work from 8 AM to 4PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. On weekdays, I come home during my break to let the dogs out and give them some love. Every day after work, the first thing we do is head outside to play in the yard! I have a pet-friendly house with a privacy fence, so your pet has plenty of space to play and relax safely. I’ll be giving them lots of love and care. I have an extra-large crate available if your dog needs one for any reason.

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.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, receive plenty of attention, and be treated like part of the family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, especially when you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along. I also follow each owner’s instructions because I know every dog has their own routine and personality.

About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I work from home full-time, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel like a home away from home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I'll be available all day to supervise and care for your pet. We'll enjoy playtime throughout the day, along with morning and evening walks, weather permitting. I have a fenced-in yard and a 6-year-old female American Staffy named Lilly. Lilly is very social and gets along great with other dogs and even cats.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs, routines, and even their little dislikes to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I recently got out of the military, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available Monday–Friday and may also be available on weekends. I don’t travel very often, so I can usually accommodate holiday bookings as well. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs whenever possible. :) I have a fenced-in backyard where your fur baby can safely run around and play whenever they’d like! I also have two fur babies of my own who are very friendly with other animals and love to play. I spend time with them outside every day, so if your fur baby is playful and enjoys having some company, they’ll have plenty of friends to keep them entertained. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home! 🐾❤️

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and have loved them for just as long. I don't have any official experience, but I will love and protect your babies like they're my own. I can also watch reptiles as I have a bearded dragon and a yellow belly slider. I'm currently a stay at home mom for a beautiful boy. I will be doing any pet care while he is at school. 8am-1pm, or later if you really need someone to check on your baby. I will do my best to take care of your animals the same way you would so your pets feel right at home with me. I have a cat with FIV so medication (pills) will not be an issue, and I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve for animals that don't like pills (one of my dogs hates them).

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: Im staying in South Carolina more now, so I’m back to being available. I mostly stay home building a homestead, so I have some spare time. Prior Air Force medic, for 5 years, and would house, dog, and babysit for fellow members and leadership. Also, was a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years. I own three big dogs, an kitten and a tortoise, but have had the responsibility of caretaking for pets since I was young. I can schedule pretty much at any time and am willing to work longer hours, if it is needed. I am very flexible. I prefer not to drive over 40 minutes to a location for drop ins and walks, but can if you are unable to find another sitter closer to your location. I do not allow others pets in my own home due to two of my rescue dogs taking a long time to be comfortable around other dogs. I pay very close attention to the slightest changes in a pets mood and can be very reactive in an emergency situation, if it occurs. I am responsible on walks, I will keep your baby safe and not allow others to interfere with them. I will respect your rules and training that you have for your pet in your home and outside environment.

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.

Also, we have an outdoor dog & cat that may have a possibility of coming in contact with your animals. So friendly with other animals & children are a must.

Caring for animals is something I do every day, and I have experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has unique needs. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. My professional grooming experience has taught me how to safely handle nervous, shy, excited, and high-energy pets while helping them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important routines are to pets, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time as a dog groomer Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Because of my schedule, I am best suited for morning visits, evening visits, overnight stays, weekend care, and holiday care. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away I’m a full time dog groomer, currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am still able to drop morning or afternoon drop ins also overnights as needed I care for 4 dogs and 2 cats who have their own schedules. I also bring one of my dogs to work with me everyday

I treat every pet I care for like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to help keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom and a certified veterinary technician so I am always home and available for you and your pets. I have a very open and flexible schedule. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a large, securely fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your furry friend to run, play, and explore in a safe, open environment. 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: Growing up I've always loved animals. I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember between watching neighbors/friends pets to having a couple of my own. I have a pretty open availability especially during the weekends. If anything just let me know and I’m willing to try my best to work around your fur babies schedule. I will always treat your fur baby like my own! If it’s nice outside we can spend the day out at the dog park or just going for a good long walk. Otherwise they can join my pets and I on the couch for a lazy day in.

“Lexie is fantastic! She took such good care of our two dogs over Thanksgiving. The indoor and outdoor spaces she has created for the dogs are wonderful, with plenty of room for them to run around and play together. Lexie sent us one little update a day to see how well the dogs were doing and how much fun they were having. She was very thorough during the intake process to ensure the dogs' individual needs were met. We could not be happier with their care and will be back again!”

“This was our second time using Debbie to watch our puppy. As with the first time, she gave multiple photo updates which allowed us to see exactly how he was doing while we were away. He loves being at Debbie’s so much and we feel he is truly being cared for with love. Can’t say enough about how happy we are we found her.”

“Cory & Stacey are wonderful! They kept my 100+lb lab for three nights recently and were and absolute pleasure to work with. This team was not only accommodating to my big boy, but they were great about sending pics and updates- allowing me to vacation with family worry-free. Having used commercial kennels previously, this was my first experience using Rover or sitters. What a great discovery! I would highly recommend the duo of Cory & Stacey to anyone that needs overnight pet accommodations! You guys rock!! Thanks for a great experience!!”

“I appreciate Nick so much! I needed a pretty last-minute booking while traveling down to Columbia to visit family, and he accepted Mateo within just an hour or two. He took such great care of him and sent me pictures throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. Even within the first 10 minutes, I texted to check on Mateo, and Nick reassured me that he was doing great and that he was enjoying his company. His communication was amazing, and he really took the extra steps to make sure Mateo was comfortable and well taken care of. As someone with a reactive dog, I’m VERY particular about who I trust to watch him, so I’m really glad I found Nick. Anytime I’m traveling to Columbia and need someone to watch Mateo, Nick will definitely be my first choice!”

About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!

“Sally is the best sitter I have ever had. There is nothing negative to say, only numerous positive comments, some of which include that: Lacie immediately took to Sally & now whines til I get her out of the car at her house, Sally knows the dogs very well so that she chooses which might be introduced with your permission (which has been great for my pet who interacts more with adults), Sally truly cares about the pets and lets me know how Lacie did (with many pictures) during the stay & individualizes activities and procedures to match your & your pet’s preferences/routines & needs. Thank you Sally! It’s good to know that Lacie is in good hands with you!”

“Martina took such good care of my fur baby, Murray. Her communication was excellent, she regularly sent me pictures and updates. Murray had some separation anxiety and I did come pick him up a day early. But he was sad to leave and started whining when I put my car in reverse to back out of the driveway. We accidentally left behind his water bowl and a toy, when we returned to pick up our forgotten items he ran out of my car, up onto the porch and sat at Martina's front door. He loved staying with Martina and playing with her son”
