Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tompkins

“Was so happy to have found Cyrus for watching my dog since I have just moved from NY to SC and don’t know anybody to watch him or have time to ask for any recommendations. He was great with my pup and my city dog got to walk with another dog and be surrounded by chickens, ducks snd turkeys 😃”

“Our terrier pup Merry had a great time during her stay with Joe and Celeste. She loved playing with Demmi and Chewy. They have a nice big back yard which she loved. We highly recommend Joe and Celeste.”

Valerie C.

“Kamiya was easy to work and communicate with, and sent pictures throughout the stay to show how our pup was doing.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to hamsters and rats—and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster kittens and gain hands-on experience with a variety of pets. My mom was a veterinary technician for 30 years, so I grew up learning a lot about animal care, behavior, and what it means to keep pets happy and healthy. At 18, I started my own pet-sitting business back home in Connecticut. When I moved out of state, I left the business behind, but I’ve always wanted to get back into pet sitting—and now feels like the perfect time! I currently have two cats and two ball pythons of my own. My schedule is also very flexible right now, which means I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. My time spent with your pets will involve lots of love and cuddles, walks and playtime, as well as treats as appropriate. I also have experience with administering medications to pets, so if this is something you need assistance with just let me know! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐾 I'm currently in between jobs and looking for something part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your babies, whether that be drop-ins or boarding. If needed, I have a dog crate at home for the safety of your pet while I am not at home. I have a 3 bedroom home in a peaceful community in Conway.

“Jaelyn is one of my favorite Rover sitters that I’ve encountered so far. I’m so happy that Jaelyn and (and friends,) and my pup Shady, all seemed to be such a great fit for each other. I could tell through the many messages and awesome photos I received, that Shady was getting so much love. He has been so worn out this evening after spending his wonderful weekend adventures with Jaelyn.”

About: Hi! I’m Janice, a lifelong animal lover who has cared for many different types of animals since childhood. I have two little pups of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us! I offer pet sitting and dog walking with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely walk, playful company, or quiet companionship, I’ll follow their routine and give them the care and attention they deserve. I would love to meet you and your pets! Typical Day: A day with me includes walks, playtime, meals following your pet’s routine, and plenty of affection and attention. My Schedule: We can discuss your pet’s needs and arrange visits or walks that fit my availability and your schedule. My Environment: I share my home with two little pups. For care in my home, we’ll discuss whether it’s a comfortable fit for your pet.

“The absolute best! From the moment we met her, I felt completely comfortable leaving Billie in her care. She is incredibly personable, caring, and attentive. Billie came home happy, exhausted from all the fun, and clearly showered with love and attention. She also had a great time playing with her adorable pup! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and can’t wait to book again. Highly recommend!”

He got plenty of love, walks and playtime and Lisa kept me updated along the way so I could fully enjoy my vacation. If back in the area I will certainly book with Lisa again. Myles’ was sad to leave her!”

Ramona D.

“Madison is very kind and trustworthy. She sends pictures and gives updates often. I immediately booked another stay with her and I'm certain my pup will be beyond excited to get more time with her and Zoey.”

Penny S.

“Laura is fantastic! In the past, our dogs are always so stressed when away from home. But I think they feel just as loved and at home with Laura as they do with us. I highly recommend her and her great care. I really love being able to check in and the quick response. They were with her for 11 days, and have come home very calm and happy. Thank you Laura!!!”

Kathy S.

“Christina did it again! My Bella gets the best care when I’m out of town. I get frequent updates and pics. I don’t have to worry about whether or not she’s being taken care of. Thank you Christina, for taking such good care of my baby!”

Shari D.

About: When I was growing up, I woke up every morning to the sounds of some sort of pet feet on the floor; There were cats, dogs, rats, hamsters, birds, reptiles, and everything in between being cared for by myself and my family at some point or another - I guess you could say my love for animals comes honestly! Can't get enough frame-worthy photos of your favorite four-legged kids? ...me either. That must be why I take A TON of pride in photographing your fur-babies and providing some great candid, funny, and of course, debonair shots during my visits - so be sure to have some empty frames on hand, just in case ;) I am comfortable and experienced with a myriad of dog breeds and different animals (please feel free to reach out with special requests!!), and I am happy to provide drop-in's just to visit, feed and cuddle your dog, cats, ferrets, etc. - I am even more pleased to offer a walk or run that is personally catered to your pup - old or young, big or small, and I am fortunate to have plenty of flexibility to do it. Hour-long walks are available upon request, and I can often arrange an even longer extended outing by request, as well - maybe a trip to the park or beach while you have a day-date or a spa day! :) You will also notice that I offer a price break per visit on each pet after the first. If your pet comes to our home, he or she will have access to plenty of space in our large, fenced in backyard. We are also in a very pet-friendly neighborhood for walks, without a lot of traffic. I will only accept one dog per sitting (unless from the same home), to ensure your pet gets the best care and all the spoiling during its stay with us. Please note that the other dog listed on my account is actually my "dog-brother", and he does not reside in our home :) Please reach out with questions about pets other than cats and dogs! New to Rover? Get $20 off your first visit with me by copying this link! https://www.rover.com/sit/DailyPupdate Working mostly from home and under my own schedule, I have plenty of time to provide care to your pups and they are welcome to ride along, should I end up leaving. My husband typically works from home, as well, and loves furry visitors. Our home has a large backyard with plenty of space for fetch or just hanging out, with plenty of shade, as well. Water will always be available!

“Carina was great! She sent me picture updates without me asking, and took great care of my dog. She worked with me to pick my dog up a little earlier than scheduled without any issue. Would definitely use her again!”

Jordan K.

“Lori and her husband have been fantastic. Our first time allowing someone to keep our Bully. She has kept me up to date with text messages, pictures and videos. Already set up more boarding with her in the future”

Tony P.

“Awesome service. Stopped by as scheduled. Dogs did great with her. Would recommend her.”

About: I’m also a dedicated cat lover and understand that cats often do best when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to provide calm, attentive care that respects each cat’s unique personality—whether they’re playful and social or more independent. During visits I can help with: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box cleaning • Playtime and enrichment • Medication if needed • Lots of affection (only if your cat wants it!) I know many cats take time to warm up to new people, so I approach them gently and patiently to build trust. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and their stress low while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photo updates and messages so you know your cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your cat will receive the same level of respect, patience, and loving care as any member of the family. 🐾

About: I’ve spent years caring for cats of all personalities — from super social cuddle bugs to shy, independent cats who need a slower approach. My experience working in pet stores helped me learn feline behavior, body language, and how to make cats feel comfortable and stress-free in new situations. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, administering basic medications, and giving senior cats extra patience and attention. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping you updated with photos and check-ins.

“Mikayla took on my 5 month old German Shorthaired Pointer at the last minute and did a great job taking care of him. Even though he is a complete handful!”

Austin P.

“Sarah is very responsive and easy to work with!”

“cyrus did an amazing job taking care of both of my boys! he was very flexible and responded quickly.”

Lida S.

About: I've had my own dogs and cats as well as done dog sitting when I was a teenager! I live teaching dogs new tricks when sitting because it helps me connect with them more! I'm currently a part time student taking online courses so I have a lot of free time! I like working out in the mornings and Going to the beach! If your pet enjoys the beach as well they are more than welcome to spend the day with me! I have a fenced in yard with a pool if your pet enjoys swimming. Growing up with both dogs and cats has taught me that timing with feeding is extremely important as well as their diet.

“Luciana was wonderful!!! She sent updates everyday. My girl was one happy dog while staying with them. My husband said we will have to go to Myrtle Beach more often since we found someone we felt comfortable with. Thanks again!!!”

Erica N.

“Very happy with Elvera’s service. I highly recommend.”

Joshua K.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats frequently since middle school, often in house sitting settings as well. I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have many friends with cats and have spent ample time with them. I have dealt with numerous animals with health issues or problems, including older pets and puppies. I understand the value of all the little unique things that are important to an owner to ensure their pet is taken care of, healthy, protected and loved to their standard. My family rescued a puppy this past year, and I took on a large responsibility in training and watching him during his more crucial stages. I have worked with and spent time around multiple rescued animals and understand the value of creating a comfortable environment from them and extra care to detail as they often have triggers from past experiences. I also work with puppies through a local breeder and have learned a lot about puppies and their development. I am a skilled problem solver, know how to communicate well and can recognize when over-communication is important. I manage my time well and feel that people in my life would consider me an overachiever in all things I do. I love animals and miss having them to interact with while at school; therefore, time spent with them is always valuable to me. I am currently a full-time student at Coastal Carolina University and play club volleyball. I have always worked and played a sport full time alongside school, and after transferring here recently, I have found myself with time for a job. With a schedule that makes my routine look different day by day I have found this would be a great fit as I can be flexible in working with clients. My weekends are free and I have lots of longer gaps throughout my day between classes which could be valuable to those who have to leave their pets for long periods of time. I'm from colorado so going home is not an option for me often and widens my availbilty. I have experience working in apartments, houses, ect of all kinds. Often my pet care includes house sitting which I am very comfortable with. I understand the value and basic decency of respect to others homes and possesions. The golden rule is a fundamental aspect of how I operate in my day to day and I would never do something I wouldnt want done to me, my pets or my home. I am a very honest person and would not hesitate to communicate anything that happens in my time with clients pets or their homes. Honesty is the best policy and valuable in maintinging proper care. I am a great problem solver and have lots of experience with handling conflict. I have grown up very indepentdent and am confident people in my life would consider me to be highly reliable and responsible. Positions as team captains, tutoring and as an RA speak to these traits.

“Joe and Celeste were great with my little guy. Their two adorable pugs were the icing on the cake! My pup had a great time playing with them. And the best part? a front bay window bench seat with a little doggie ramp where they sit and watch squirrels and a spacious fenced-in back yard where they run free. Definitely worth it!”

Sandy F.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I was greatly pleased with it. I was coming in from out of state so didn't get to meet Darrah before, but she was great with responding to all my questions and was very communicative throughout. I left Casper with her multiple times over my trip and he seemed like he had a great time. I also got tons of great pictures of each stay to show what he was up to throughout his time there, and would definitely leave Casper with Darrah again in the future.”

Mikur P.

“Amy was fantastic with our dog . My first time ever using the app and leaving our dog and Amy made it a breeze and comfortable . Our dog had a blast. She checked in with updates and sent photos. We will for sure rebook with Amy. No doubt”

Jennifer G.

“I cannot say good enough things about Karla. It is a pet owner dream pet sitter. Will take care of your baby just like it was hers. Our girl has high anxiety and separation anxiety and Karla was able to calm her down and get her to relax until she was super comfortable with being away from us. Through all this time she constantly sent me updates, videos and images and that really made my time away more relaxed. Thank you so so much for your help on such a short notice!”

Ioana B.

About: Your dog deserves to have fun, feel loved, and be part of the adventure! I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, and I truly believe they’re family.

When you book with me, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re getting someone who will genuinely care about your dog and treat them like they’re my own. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, safe, comfortable, and in loving hands.

Let’s make their next stay an adventure they’ll love! I am currently working from home so I will be available to tend to them all day long. I am also available on the weekends. I have a large fenced in backyard with two friendly dogs, an eight-year-old, female Boston terrier. and a four year-old, female German shorthair pointer. My dogs have full range of the house and are allowed on furniture. I can also crate your dog if you feel more comfortable with that.

“Jenn and Katrina were excellent with Dexter!! Sent pictures that put me at ease immediately, fast communication and kind hearts ❤️ thank you!”

Suzanne P.

“Oliver had a great time with Stanley! Luke and Kexin sent pictures and video updates throughout the day, too. Oliver can’t wait to play with Stanley again in the future!”

“I dropped Charlie off to Cara and I couldn’t believe how excited Charlie was to see Cara again! She definitely remembered her and obviously had a good experience with her. I have been thinking about retiring in Myrtle Beach and I know if I do, Cara has a client for life! I am highly satisfied with her services and Charlie was too! You will NOT be disappointed with Cara!”

About: I love animals and would love to help you out for any needs you need. I am at home all the time. Fenced in back yard.

About: I have 3 very spoiled large dogs! I used to breed Heelers, so I have experience with pregnant dogs and even delivering puppies. I usually just take care of the yorkies that my family members have here, but I figured I could go ahead and expand. I currently use rover when I go out of town, so I know how I expect my dogs to be taken care of and I will be just as great to your pets! I also have experience with farm animals too. I used to have a small farm with cows, pigs, sheep, goats and chickens. So if you have any additional needs we can discuss it! I also have experience with cats too! I work for the schools, so I am currently off for the summer. My availability is very open until the middle of August! I would say my daily availability is from 6am-11pm unless you book me for over night. I will take care of your pets exactly how you would like. I know how stressful it can be on pets when their owners are away so they will be extra loved on!

About: My whole worlds revolves around my 4 fur babies and I can assure you that yours will become family to me. I have taken care of dogs since my first puppy at 10 years old, but I also have experience with puppies only 1 day old to senior ages. I am currently dog mama to 4 beautiful samoyeds. I can cook for your pet, walk, play, bathe, go for pup cups, car rides, and snuggle until they can’t snuggle anymore. I am capable of doing basic leash training, can help assist with potty training, crate training, and basic commands. September 2025 I had my first litter of 8 Samoyed puppies and raised them until they were old enough to go to their forever homes. I can assure you that I can handle any obstacle I may come into contact with and will always make sure to keep you updated with lots of pictures and videos if that is your style! :) My whole goal is to ensure a safe, happy, healthy, and fun time with your furry friend. You can trust me. I am currently taking a step back from my full time job as a Registered Behavioral Technician and am available 7 days a week! In my free time I would love to be surrounded with your furry babies! I am available for any pet care in your home! I have a fenced in dog park in the community I live in and would be happy to take your pup there every day to get some much needed exercise or socialization when others dogs come to play. I will be responsible and make sure your pup is safe from the time I meet with them until the time you come home! Their safety is my top priority.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life when i didn’t have a pet and i’ve always been so natural at caring for and loving them. Rescue animals are my suit so training is a skill i have required I currently work a part time job and attend college however that only takes up my day until about 1 PM on weekdays, so i have a lot of time to work around that set schedule to care for your pets! i can cater to any needs of your fur baby such as walking, letting out, crating, or anything else (in addition to having fun) i have a lot of experience.

About: I have 15 plus years of experience caring for all types of animals. Anywhere from newborn puppies and kittens to senior animals with health issues. I worked at PetSmart for many years in the grooming salon caring for dogs and also volunteered for 6 years at an animal shelter in prattville alabama when I lived there. I bathed them care for the made sure they had all the loving I could get. The experience I have with senior dogs is extensive as well. I currently care of a Dachshund that is 13 has to walk in a wheelchair and he also has seizures that I have to medicate him for. I have 3 dogs of my own Blue, Chewie, and Marley. blue is a Great Dane Mastiff mix, Chewie is a Pomchi and Marley is a Dachshund (the special needs dog I care for, he's my partners dog)

“Sarah was great! She was extremely reliable and handled my 2 big dogs with ease. My dogs were well taken care of and her communication was great. We have some complicated instructions when it comes to getting our dogs past our electric fence and she handled that with no problems.”

About: I am experienced with both large and small dogs. I can give medication, help reluctant pets eat, brush fur, wrap injuries, apply nose cream, clean skin folds, and any other needs. I am a huge fan of walks and will love your pet like my own! I grew up with a Rhodesian ridgeback and I have spent time petsitting for friends and neighbors (both cats and dogs). I am currently a college student, so having a pets is not practical for me right now, but I often interact with friend’s pets regularly and sit for people whenever needed! I can take pets out for the bathroom on a long walk or in the yard with a poop bag. I am very adaptable depending on the locatIon and take instructions well!

About: I am a certified, licensed, and insured dog trainer and the owner of Chaos To Clarity K9. I work with dogs and their families on obedience, leash skills, everyday manners, and behavior challenges. Many of the dogs I help are everyday family dogs who need guidance with things like pulling on leash, barking, jumping, reactivity, or learning how to settle in the home. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping owners build strong foundations early through clear communication and consistency. I have a strong interest in behavior modification, especially helping dogs work through fear, stress, and reactivity at a pace that keeps them comfortable and learning. My husband is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a combat veteran and former military police K9 handler who trained civilian police dogs. Because of his veterinary background, I’m also able to consult with him when behavior questions may have a possible medical component, which can sometimes play a role in behavior. I also understand that dogs live in real families with real challenges. I live with multiple sclerosis and am raising an autistic four-year-old, so I appreciate how important it is for training to be practical, realistic, and supportive of the household environment. My goal is always to help create calmer, safer, and more enjoyable relationships between dogs and the people who love them. One thing that’s very important to me is paying attention to canine body language and stress signals. Dogs communicate constantly through subtle changes in posture, facial expression, and movement, and recognizing those signals early can prevent many behavior problems from escalating. During training, I help owners learn how to recognize what their dog is communicating so they can respond in a way that builds trust, confidence, and better behavior over time. Dog training is part of my regular weekly routine, and I intentionally keep my schedule structured so each client receives focused attention. My current training availability is: • Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM • Wednesday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Thursday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Saturday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Sunday: Afternoon appointments available by request Closed: Monday and Friday Because each dog and family has unique needs, I limit the number of training sessions I take each week so I can provide thoughtful, individualized guidance and follow-up support between sessions. Safety, trust, and clear communication are always my top priorities when working with dogs and their families. I pay close attention to canine body language and stress signals to make sure dogs remain comfortable and able to learn during training. Training sessions focus on creating a calm, structured environment where both the dog and owner can succeed. I work at the dog’s pace and help owners understand what their dog is communicating so they can respond clearly and confidently. My goal is to create training plans that are safe, practical, and sustainable for everyday life, helping dogs feel more secure while helping owners feel supported throughout the process.

“Was so happy to have found Cyrus for watching my dog since I have just moved from NY to SC and don’t know anybody to watch him or have time to ask for any recommendations. He was great with my pup and my city dog got to walk with another dog and be surrounded by chickens, ducks snd turkeys 😃”

“Debbie was great! Our sitter wouldn’t answer us when it was time to drop our baby off and so we have to last minute switch and Debbie met us right away and we felt totally comfortable leaving our boy with her! Will be using again ♥️”

“Luciana and C V. watched our 5 year old lab while we were out on the country for 9 nights and we’re so grateful for what good care they took of him while we were gone. They have watched Remi many times before and we will be using them in the future again!”

“If you’re considering hiring Brianna for pet care, just go for it :)! She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible, and a very fast communicator. Our Lily had a blast with her dog Kita :)! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to go home with us lol. Brianna gave us extra peace of mind with all of the pictures and updates she sent. Plus, knowing she had vet tech xp made us feel safe leaving Lily behind after her recent surgery. She was returned to us super happy, healthy, and exhausted :). We hope Brianna ywill be able to watch her again next time! (THANK YOU AGAIN!!)”

“While vacationing in Myrtle Beach I stayed in a motel that did not allow pets so needed to find d inoggy day care near me. My dog is a 60 lb wire haired griffon, sweet natured, but needs her walks every day. Oceana provided loving care to my spoiled baby- took her for long walks, followed my feeding and care instructions, and lots of snuggles on the couch. I was more than satisfied with her care and would recommend her.”

Sandy J.

“Loki got the best care with Jeff and his family. We had never left our dog with anyone other than family before and were a little nervous. We were rest assured that she was in good hands and getting extra love and attention. Jeff kept us updated each day with how she was doing with photos. Loki came home content and we would definitely send here there again!”

Shane Y.

“We were nervous about leaving our 2 babies with someone new. However, all nervousness quickly evaporated when we met Nicky and her husband. She made us feel so relaxed. She and her husband both were naturals with dogs. We were thrilled that she let them on her sofa and bed as that is what they are used to. Do not hesitate to book with Nicky --- we have already booked in again!”

Christine K.

“We are always anxious about leaving our dogs when we go away. But we had nothing to worry about. Mary did a great job with them. Each day the photos showed the dogs more comfortable looking though they were too small for the fence restraint, she took them for walks often. I will definitely leave them with Mary again. Her kindness shined through.”

Lisa J.

“My Scout had a great stay with Carmen and found a new doggie friend in Tyr. She played and was very comfortable and happy. We will definitely be back next time I need a sitter. Carmen knows dogs and was very reliable and flexible.”

“Best dog vacay host I've used yet!!! She did amazing with my rescue dog that is very timid. My dog didn't want to leave! She also gives great tips and advise about dogs. If you are in Myrtle beach in need of a dog sitter Jenna is BEST choice.”

Kane P.

“Abigail did an amazing job caring for our senior dog. She was patient, attentive, and truly thoughtful with his needs. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

Larissa W.

About: My whole life, I've grown up with cats and dogs (tabby's and pit-bulls to be exact). I have trained 3 puppies (basic commands like sit and stay) and have taken care of one senior dog (18) and a senior cat (17). I do prefer a week in advance heads up, but will help as best as I can! Open to early mornings and late nights. Just communicate your needs and I will do my best to accommodate you. Pets are always cared for in a safe, clean, and supervised environment, whether in my home or yours. I remove hazards, maintain routines, and prioritize comfort, security, and trust. In clients’ homes, I respect all instructions, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for at all times.

“Kayla was definitely a perfect fit to watch Lola! She treated her like she was her own! Daily updates and pictures. We haven’t left Lola a lot and had some anxiety about it but we definitely will be booking Kayla in the future!”

“Our time away from our sweet little LBD, and she was very well cared for!! We got updates and pics the whole time we were gone. We will definitely use Jenny again.”

“Gil was absolutely amazing at taking care of my fur baby! He was very responsive and sent lots of photos of my dog having so much fun! His own dog Milo ended up being such a great doggie friend to my Tucker and they played together for the entirety of Tuckers stay. Gil definitely has the perfect demeanor, patience, & experience to watch any dog!”

About: I have fostered dogs and cared for them for the past 20 years. I love animals and want to make sure they feel loved and at home while they stay with me. I work remotely so i am home all day. My job is flexible and your pup would have time to exercise, go on walks or whatever it is they like to do during the day. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate them if they need to be. I am happy to follow what you would like.
