“WE LOVE STACEY! Our babies have never been boarded before and they didn’t miss us lol!? Stacey walked them and cuddled them! They had such a good time! She also made sure to send pics everyday and she communicates everything with you! Thank you so much!”
“This was moons first rover and I am so pleased with the choice to go with Nontombe. She was very attentive and kept me updated multiple times throughout each day. Even after moon had stomach issues she pushed through it and paid careful attention to him for the remainder is the weekend. 10/10 would recommend”
“Kathy was great! She took wonderful care of my dog while my partner and I were on vacation overseas. She has several sweet natured dogs and my dog had so much fun playing with them. Kathy also sent daily updates with sweet photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place to leave their pet.”
“I really do appreciate Nick! He always comes through when it comes to Mateo. I recently had surgery and had to come back down to Columbia, and he was able to take Mateo for me so I could have some time to adjust to my recovery. I’m forever grateful for him! He communicates so well, sends pictures, keeps you updated, and always lets you know what’s going on. He’s truly everything you could want in someone taking care of your dog, and I always feel comfortable knowing Mateo is with him.”
“Katelyn was so great! She accepted my booking last-minute, was patient and flexible with me regarding my schedule. She went above and beyond to reassure me my Chug was well cared for and having a good time. Thank you so much, Katelyn!!”
“I always know that Duke is well taken care of at Margie’s home. Margie is very accommodating. Duke enjoys safely playing with other dogs while at Margie’s! Margie makes having a dog so much easier for us.”
“Thanks to Gina my rambunctious 10 month old puppy was safe & happy while I visited with lifelong friends & attended the funeral of another lifelong friend. Gina sent pictures & assurances of my puppy’s wellbeing & that he was “no trouble”, a welcome fib. I didn’t know such a service existed but am very glad Rover led me to Gina.”
“Lindsey was great with Zippo! Sent lots of pictures and genuinely seemed to enjoy having my dog around while I was away. Would definitely board with her again.”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”
“Our fur baby, Lena, had an awesome week with Carol! Carol did a wonderful job taking care of Lena and keeping us posted throughout the week with status updates and pictures. Carol treated Lena like she was her own providing love, exercise, and stable routine for her. I highly recommend Carol to care for your pets.”
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.
“Great family to book with, will be using them in the future. My dog, Skye, seems to have had a blast on all of the walks and play time with people and other dogs. Thank you!”
“Lashika is great with Mylo. We have been using her the last year and she does a great job. She keeps us informed during his stay and sends plenty of pictures. She’s our go too when we are out of town, and Mylo loves her too!”
“Lucas was amazing! My Peaches is shy and a bit anxious. Lucas took his time with her and helped her get over her fear. Peaches had a good time, Lucas send photos and updates every day. I totally trust him with my Peaches! And BoPeep is a sweetheart too!”
“Second time having Ashley take care of our precious Leo. The love that Ashley puts in to caring for him is always so obvious in his demeanor at pickup! 10/10 sitter. Ashley, thank you for loving Leo as if he were your own!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I’ve taken care of, feed played with and walked family and friends dogs and always made sure they were safe I’m currently not working so I have time to play and walk with your pups. I am able to board any day of the week at anytime! I do not have a fenced in yard but can assure you that your pups will be safe at all times. I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!

“Emily is great! She’s very accommodating and helpful, and she takes great care of my cat! I will definitely be using her again whenever I need a sitter. Highly recommend her!”
“All I can say is that Heather did an amazing job taking care of my moody but sweet Cali the Calico. She understood her attitude and gave her the space that she wanted. Heather is very sweet and trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with Cali. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Heather.”
“I’m so happy that I decided on Nontombe! :) I have booked with them 3x over the past few months, and am always happy with the turnout! They’re always thorough, communicative and friendly to my kitties! I’m sad to be moving out of state, because I’m sure most sitters won’t be able to compete with Nontombe!”
“We had Whitney house sit and she was great. Kept us updated and sent pictures which meant a lot to us while we were away. She always does a wonderful job with our girl. Thanks Whitney!”
“This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!”
About: I've taken care of many different pets in my life, however, none is more special to me personally than cats. I have a strong and intuitive bond w/ cats and I understand their unique and diverse personalities, as well as their diverse levels of care. Friends and family have trusted me to pet sit for kittens as well as elderly cats. I myself have 3 cat children, and I prefer to sit w/cats in their own environments to make sure they feel safest in their own routines.
“This is our 3rd time using Lindsey and Aaron and will not be our last! They are great with our cat, great communicators, and just great people. We would recommend them to anyone. We are so lucky we found them!”
“Jade, did a phenominal job watching my three babies (cats). I had a last minute travel issue come up, and I needed to find someone to care for my three cats while I was gone. I had to book last minute, and did not have time to do a meet and greet. This was my first time using Rover, and I selected Jade based on her excellent reviews. My cats are my babies, and I have hired friends and neighbors in the past to care for them when we were gone, only to be frustrated upon return to see that the little I asked them to do, was done very poorly. Due to the last minute booking I was only able to communicate with Jade via messages, but she immediately reassured me that she would make sure our babies were well taken care of. We are in the process of selling our home, so I needed someone who would provide loving care to our cats as well as making sure they didn't track in dirt, and kept things as clean as possible when stopping to care for the cats. Jade went above and beyond, and I cannot thank her enough. My cats are terrified of anyone outside of our family, and because we have realtors showing our home right now, there are a lot of new people coming in and out, which is causing a lot of anxiety to the cats. I asked Jade to ring the doorbell and wait 30 seconds to allow the cats to get to their safe place and hide, to help keep their anxiety down. She did this everytime without hesitation. She made sure the litter boxes were clean, as well as the area around the boxes, which was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately we are moving out of state and I will not be able to use Jade's services in the future. However, if you are seeking someone to care for your animals in a loving way, and a way you would care for your animals...I would highly recommend hiring Jade. Thank you Jade for the love and care you provided to our babies while we were away. We appreciate it more than you could possibly know.”
“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. 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 🤩”
“I am so thankful for Nicole! She helped my husband and I when we needed someone to let our new puppy out last minute. She was responsive and on time. We will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Though I grew up with both dogs and cats, as an adult I am 100% a cat lady now! I’ve had my best girl, Ophelia, for 5 years now and I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members cats over the years as well. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time (and precautions) to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for- whether they’re playful and energetic or quiet observers. And of course, I know cats deserve just as much attention as dogs!
About: Hello, My name is Sabrina Pressley I’m 21 years old . I’m open to all breeds. I also have other dogs that is dog friendly. I don’t mind over night dog sitting as well . It’s fine if your dog isn’t dog friendly I can put my dogs up . I can also pet sit at your home if that is best for you . Pet care is a daily routine for me I also have an autistic cousin that I take care of who is very gentle and loving to animals . I have a friendly dog and my friend has 2 friendly dogs and they love other animals I can also crate them if needed and the home has enough room for your dog to play .
About: Hey there! My name is Shae and I think I'd be a great option for you to consider as a dog friend. The past six or so years I've worked, managed, and assisted multiple different rescue organizations and have learned so much about the dogs in my care that it truly has become a profession. Before that I was a regular dog boarder/walker in Washington state on Rover & Wag which is where my reviews start from. Parents used to participate in world shows with our GSD growing up so I had young and immediate exposure to working lines and I've also had a stint working with wildlife between gigs/states. Ive worked in a spay/neuter clinic as a tech, completed animals CPR, and Ive managed animal transports which basically means I drove dogs who are out of time here in the south into the north for a better chance at life. While on transport with me, it is my job to walk them, care for them, and soothe them on the long, stressful** journey. Now Im taking care of my grandpa so I am always home. *Able to administer oral medication, and injections *Comfortable with most special cases (behaviourally or medically) *Able to care for seniors, or sense-impaired *Typically will gage health, comfort, & energy level and do playgroups; large w large and small w small dogs only. If you do not want you're pup interacting w others, please specify as I am able to keep everyone separated via sections of the home and yard rotations. Though typically when grouped, they have in-out access for 85% of the day but are supervised 100% of that time as my working space is indoor/outdoor. If multi-boarding (usually just around holidays), I do crate overnight (indoors) roughly 10pm to 7am. Multiple dogs from same home, or pups that find crates stressful, that are not destructive when alone can sleep in the guest bedroom. . Overall I'm pretty flexible and do this for the love of dogs, so if you have concerns, questions, or preferences, please feel free to shoot me a message! My pups are my world and I understand how stressful leaving them can be so I send lots of pictures and do my best to show them theyre loved while puppy-parents are away. Home full time caring for my grandfather, so dogs are roaming and playing most of the day. Longest theyll spend without outside time is overnight, otherwise its usually no more than 2hrs. Without being too curt, I ensure the dog is comfortable, safe, fed, and loved. I think this is too complicated of a question to answer in a brief box as all dogs vary and require different amounts of affection, interaction outside, medicine, et cetera et cetera.. But I am one of those people who calls my dogs my kids and I do believe they as a species deserve so much more.

“Gina was great with our senior dog while we attended a basketball game at USC. She was very responsive and even met us after the game so we could start our drive home sooner. She was responsive and took great care of our baby. Would definitely use again for dog sitting needs. Thanks Gina!”

“Lyndsay was great with our Luna. She was attentive to her needs and took great care of her. We highly recommend her and will use her services again. Her own pup, sweet Fox, is truly precious!”
“Sebastian and his family were so very kind—and my Jet had a great time with them!! We will definitely call on them for our Rover needs anytime we are visiting Columbia! Thanks for an awesome experience! ❤️”
“Jud and Nicole are great! Dexter stayed with them for a day and with the very first picture they sent us just a few minutes after we dropped him off, I could see how happy and comfortable he was with them. He also had lots of fun with his new friend Baxter. Now we can rest assured that our baby is in great hands when we go on a trip in a few weeks.”
“Shannon is wonderful! She sent me pictures and updates on how Mav was doing throughout the day. Maverick had so much fun and was exhausted afterwards. It was only his first time, but I know he can’t wait to go back!”
“Nontombe was wonderful with our little guy! We had never left him before and she made sure he felt comfortable and safe. It was extra special to get pictures and videos of him so we knew he was being super well cared for. Would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs ☺️”
“They are absolutely great! We are doing the day care, and the first night Comet (my super SUPER high energy dog) came home tired! He had all day to play and run around. They have a great space for the dogs. Highly recommend! They sent me updates and kept me informed as well.”
“I would give Lucus 10 stars if I could. We are traveling with our three dogs in RV across country and needed a day sit while we did an activity. Two are old with a lot of arthritis and one is young and active. He was able to meet each dog’s needs and they came home content. Excellent communication and obviously cares deeply for animals.”
“Omgosh! Michelle was our hero the weekend of my nephews wedding! Newly relocated to the Charleston area, we knew no one to watch our pup while we went to Savannah for the wedding. We found Michelle in Savannah, and she was wonderful!! So sweet and loving to our 10year old poodle bichon, and he seemed to be comfortable with her and her place right away. If you're looking for the perfect dog sitter, look no further, Michelle is your gal.”

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.
“Michel’le is amazing with the fur babies. This was our first time using their day care service. We’ve done an extended stay previously. Again, we are happy we found them for our fur baby. • attentive •responds quickly • flexible • genuine • clean property • super pet friendly inside and out”
“Winnie had a great first rover experience with Charlotte and Woody. They were wonderful hosts that made me feel confident in her being well taken care of for the day. Charlotte provided picture when I asked for an update. Would highly recommend.”

“Took great care of my crazy girls while we went on vacation with our newborn!! Dogs really seemed to enjoy her presence and was very nice to not have to worry about them”
About: My best friend of 15 years and her family have two wonderful dogs, a doodle and a lab who I have taken care of so many times. I even watched the doodle when she was just a few months old for about a week during a snow storm while her family was on vacation. They’re a handful but so much fun. I have also cat-sit for up to 3-weeks on end. Giving medicine, checking for packages, and updating if anything seems off. I am a graduate student with very flexible hours. I am happy to spend time with your pet while I study or just for personal therapy. I will make time for animals no matter what. I go above and beyond noting things like if the house temperature is uncomfortable for said pet. I keep them under constant supervision and won’t leave them alone for more than a few hours unless discussed otherwise. I am very thorough and will take extra time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with a new person around them. I know what it takes to be patient with pets.
“great! super flexible and willing to work around my schedule and help me out. my dog seemed to really enjoy her and she was wonderful to communicate with. will definitely look to book her again and would recommend to others!”
“We have absolutely loved having Jade walk our dogs! She is really understanding of their needs and works well with them. She’s highly communicative and I love getting the reports in the middle of the day. Definitely would recommend!”
About: Let me look after your furry friends when you need assistance. I love all pets and will provide them with the attention and nurturing they deserve while you're away. Having been a pet owner of both dogs and cats for most of my life, I consider them part of the family. As such, I always ensure they receive affection and companionship while under my watch. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart; I understand their need for gentle attention and additional assistance, and I'm committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. I have a calm and patient personality that pets find easy to connect with, but I also make sure they follow your rules! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I am recently retired from education, and own my own business that allows me to work from home, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to taking care of your pets! I will happily take care of your pets in your home so their routines remain in place as much as possible. To ensure I know all the ins and outs of your pets needs and they meet me with you around first, I do request that we have a meet-and-greet before the first time I care for your pets.
“The best dog sitter I have ever had! My dog immediately loved her. She even got my dog to walk when she was scared by loud fireworks. I highly recommend Lakotah and hope to book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, giving me 33 years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I recently worked in the pet care industry, which gave me even more insight into providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I personally own a German Shepherd that I trained myself, so I’m confident in handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior pets who need extra love and gentle attention. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they’re my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday routine! I recently moved to Columbia and have the flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and consistency they need—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or longer stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, so dogs enjoy plenty of daily walks and outdoor time. I have a crate of my own if needed for your pet. My own pets are very friendly and social, so visiting animals will always feel welcomed and comfortable. I keep routines consistent, making sure every pet feels at home with lots of love, attention, and playtime. In Your Home: I care for pets just as you would—keeping their routine, environment, and comfort a top priority. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have experience working in animal rescue, fostering, basic training, and complex medical maintenance for both dogs and cats. I have fostered over 100 dogs in ten years and owned two heart dogs and three beloved cats, all who had complicated medical conditions that required daily management. Pets are family to me and deserve the best care and consideration. I am currently on sabbatical and looking to fill my days with happy time with pets though walks, play, and just quality time. I’m available every day 11 am to 6 pm. Two days notice is required for both dog walking or dog check-in requests. I have a fenced in back yard and crates, along with dog safe toys, doggy gates, and non slip mats throughout the house for better traction for older dogs.

About: Every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved so their time away from you feels as stress-free as possible.

I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, and personality to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible.

I'm patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet's individual needs, whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking closely to their routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.

The shifts are only about 5 hours long so I am very available to care for your animals in between. I am a very neat person, I always leave everything as I found it or better.

“This was moons first rover and I am so pleased with the choice to go with Nontombe. She was very attentive and kept me updated multiple times throughout each day. Even after moon had stomach issues she pushed through it and paid careful attention to him for the remainder is the weekend. 10/10 would recommend”
“Kathy was great! She took wonderful care of my dog while my partner and I were on vacation overseas. She has several sweet natured dogs and my dog had so much fun playing with them. Kathy also sent daily updates with sweet photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place to leave their pet.”
“Honey has stayed with Cory and Stacey before and has a great time with them. They send pictures that show that she is comfortable with them in their home. I don’t worry about her, I know she is well taken care of.”
“I really do appreciate Nick! He always comes through when it comes to Mateo. I recently had surgery and had to come back down to Columbia, and he was able to take Mateo for me so I could have some time to adjust to my recovery. I’m forever grateful for him! He communicates so well, sends pictures, keeps you updated, and always lets you know what’s going on. He’s truly everything you could want in someone taking care of your dog, and I always feel comfortable knowing Mateo is with him.”
“Katelyn was so great! She accepted my booking last-minute, was patient and flexible with me regarding my schedule. She went above and beyond to reassure me my Chug was well cared for and having a good time. Thank you so much, Katelyn!!”
“Review was left on previous booking but Micheal and his home were amazing and it made me book 2 additional nights just for my Frost to enjoy herself there longer and because they loved frost so much and wanted to keep her longer also!”
“Thanks to Gina my rambunctious 10 month old puppy was safe & happy while I visited with lifelong friends & attended the funeral of another lifelong friend. Gina sent pictures & assurances of my puppy’s wellbeing & that he was “no trouble”, a welcome fib. I didn’t know such a service existed but am very glad Rover led me to Gina.”
“Lindsey was great with Zippo! Sent lots of pictures and genuinely seemed to enjoy having my dog around while I was away. Would definitely board with her again.”
“Aubriana was fantastic! She was super responsive and kept me updated throughout the stay with great pictures and videos. My pets were exceptionally well taken care of, and I couldn't be more thankful. I'm so impressed with her care and would absolutely book her again!”
“Lexi was amazing, she took such great care of Belle and sent the best pics and videos while we were away. Belle had the best time, she wasn't ready to come home when I got there to pick her up.”
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.
“Great family to book with, will be using them in the future. My dog, Skye, seems to have had a blast on all of the walks and play time with people and other dogs. Thank you!”
“Lucas was amazing! My Peaches is shy and a bit anxious. Lucas took his time with her and helped her get over her fear. Peaches had a good time, Lucas send photos and updates every day. I totally trust him with my Peaches! And BoPeep is a sweetheart too!”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
“We had a great experience with Kari. She was very accommodating and had constant communication with us while we were away. Our dog seemed to have enjoyed his time with her, as well. Will definitely rebook Kari in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. My cat Chanel has been with me for 5 years and my cocker spaniel Bentley for 1 year. I’ll treat your pets like my own with plenty of walks, cuddles, and love. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your fur babies and I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am able to go home throughout the day and check on your pet if I’m not already home. I am usually home all weekend and if not then your pet is welcome to join my activities! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment community with three dog parks, giving plenty of safe space to run and play. I’ll always keep a close eye on them, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for in a secure environment.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I’ve taken care of, feed played with and walked family and friends dogs and always made sure they were safe I’m currently not working so I have time to play and walk with your pups. I am able to board any day of the week at anytime! I do not have a fenced in yard but can assure you that your pups will be safe at all times. I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!
