Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wateree

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wateree
“Martina, did an amazing job with our Snuggles. She sent pictures and gave us updates throughout his stay. He appeared to be well kept and happy. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”

“This is my second time having Kristen take care of Lilith while I was away. She did an amazing job once again! Great communication. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for their pet to be loved and well taken care of.”

“This was our first time ever boarding our 17 month old Shih Tzu. And we had to leave him in the cone of shame for a sore he wouldn’t stop licking. I was uneasy to say the least. But our little guy liked Evelyn from the start. She has a calm, easy going demeanor that he liked instantly. She sent me photos and updates regularly especially since I was nervous about the sore on his skin. His stay went off without a hitch. We will definitely be using Evelyn again. Grateful for her good care of our sweet dog!”

“We were brand new to Rover and honestly a little anxious about leaving our three fur babies with someone we didn’t know. Turns out we had nothing to worry about. Brennan is fantastic. We met her and her family about two weeks before the stay with our fur babies, and they were warm, welcoming, and put us at ease right away. During their 10-day stay, we received updates, photos, and videos every single day. It felt like our pups were off at the best doggy camp ever. They were loved and cared for as if they were her own. We couldn’t be happier. We definitely recommend Brennan and will absolutely use her again. Promise you won't be disappointed. 10/10!”

“Whitney and Ryan are the best!! I always feel so good about leaving my dog with them because I know he’s going to be spoiled rotten and taken care of! He loves going over there and playing with their dogs. Whitney always sends pictures so I don’t miss him too terribly! I highly recommend them!”


“Oralee always takes such good care of my dogs. It’s a good feeling when you can go away and know that your dogs are being loved and playing with their doggy friends and that they are having so much fun. I love the pictures she sends daily. They help the kids not miss them so much. I highly recommend Oralee. I’m so grateful I found her.”

“Aiko is the best! Sometimes it can be hard for my puppy to get adjusted to someone new, but she felt at home with Aiko pretty quickly! When I picked her up the first time, she was content and well-rested. I really appreciate Aiko's communication with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”

“Daisy was such an amazing dog sitter. She was very responsive and understanding to me dogsitting needs. She was punctual and send me some amazing photos of my dogs! I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Lauren is amazing! She watched my two dogs last minute, followed their feeding and medication schedule, took them on walks, and sent lots of photos and updates. I always am nervous to leave my dogs somewhere new and she completely put me at ease. My pups came back happy and relaxed, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

“Evelyn is always so great with last minute accommodations! She also sends timely updates. My pup comes back home like he had the time of his life. We will definitely continue using her services.”

“FIVE stars! Brody’s stay with Jennifer was like a second family for him; he had other dogs and a toddler to play with! I received photos and updates often. Will use again when needed :)”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”

“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!”

“Lexie was very communicative about how Molly was doing which gave me great peace of mind. I know without a doubt that Molly was well loved during her stay. Unfortunately, Molly tried to dig out of the fence and so her outside time was limited for her safety. I’m hopeful that Molly’s digging behavior will begin to lessen as she becomes more comfortable in her forever home, and I’m hopeful she can stay again in the future. Thank you, Lexie!”

“Paola was amazing! She treated both my girls like furry princesses. She made me feel welcomed and relaxed the moment we met! During the puppy vacation Paola sent me daily pictures and videos. My pups had a great time! 10/10 would recommend”

“Kathy was great with my dogs. Good communication and pictures while I was away. She took my dogs last minute because of a family emergency and I’m very grateful. Will definitely contact her again for boarding.”

“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!”

“She was the best!! My baby loved her and she sent plenty of pics. He came back with all his stuff and litter box cleaned!! Rates are affordable and communication is Top tier. Will book again”


“Fantastic sitter! Kirsten is very responsive and super sweet to your pets. She handled our cat's odd litter (wood pellet) without issue, which made everything super smooth! Her cat, Momo, was also super gentle and accepting of our Mindy. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and I will be holding onto her info for when we need a sitter again!”


“Jacquelyn was a great pet sitter for my two kitties! She was prompt and made sure they were all taken care of and got some human interaction while I was out of town. She was communicative and sent good updates each visit. I would definitely trust her to watch them again.”

About: I have been caring for pets for 30 years. Not only my own pets, but our friends and families pets. I have rescued many dogs and cats over the years and even a bird or two. The pets have been puppies to seniors. I have trained many to use a bell at the door to go outside and go potty. I can do some basic training.. I have kept up with their training, started training for puppies being held for Christmas gifts, etc.I promise to love, care and cuddle your pets as l do mine. I have always been a stay at home mom since adopting my children. Now that they are 20 and 21, I’m just a homebody. I am able to tend to your babies 24/7. In my home, I will separate my pets as people bring in theirs. When the owners leave, I will introduce them one at a time. I can administer their medicine, do some light grooming, take on walks, and my schnauzer says he will let them play with his ball thrower. Oh, and pets will never be fed together.
“Claire is awesome and put our family at ease. She was great with communicating and went above and beyond taking care of our indoor and outdoor cats. We will definitely definitely be using her services again.”

“Our dogs, Sammy and Bentley loved Jennifer P! They had a wonderful time together on the drop in visits. She came at the requested times, took care of them, gave a report and pics after each visit. Great job! We felt confident being out of town with Jennifer caring for our dogs . thank you!!”


“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: 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.

About: I have had cats all my life. I love caring for them and watching them warm up to new people. They don't trust easy like dogs so winning over a cat's affections is always heartwarming. I have experience with giving medication, cleaning litter boxes and more.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. As a biology student who hopes to become a veterinarian, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule, so I can make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I’ll always communicate with you and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep them in a safe environment, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care all of sorts of animals since I was 12 years old! I live on a farm with many animals so I have experience with almost any situation. I started dog sitting and cat sitting around the same time. My neighbors, friends, and family trust me to walk, feed, play, and care for their furry humans because I treat them like they are my own! I love all animals dearly, and I would never do anything to put them in harms way. I am currently a student at University of South Carolina, so my schedule works around my classes. I don’t have a schedule yet, but I will soon. I am available for weekends. If a time is not listed here, please feel free to ask if I am available.

I can be as communicative as you'd like, sending photos while you're away to make sure you feel good about your pet.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wateree
About: I’ve spent over 20 years caring for pets, and I truly believe they’re family—not just animals. I’m a proud owner of four high-energy dogs, so I’m very comfortable with active breeds, strong personalities, and pups who need both structure and affection. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—because that’s how I’d want mine treated. I work from home - my role is very autonomous which comes with a lot of flexibility during the day to help care for your pet. I care for your pets in your home according to your preferences, routines, and safety guidelines. I understand how important trust is when welcoming someone into your space. I have four dogs of my own who are family, and I provide that same level of attentive, respectful care to your pets while maintaining a safe and calm environment.

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’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.

“I appreciate that Brennan took Lexi and Sundae for several hours of daycare without having a lot of time to plan ahead. That help was tremendous, and the girls seemed to have a great time. Thank you Brennan for sending the photos during their stay.”

“Taco had a GREAT time!!! Caroline provided pictures throughout the day along with updates of how he was doing. It was a comfort knowing that Taco was in such good hands. I would highly recommend using Caroline -except if it’s a day we want to leave Taco with her!’? We will definitely use Caroline every time we come to Columbia-which will be often over the next few years!!!! Thanks again Caroline-Taco Can’t wait to see you again!!!’”

“Gloria was a lifesaver! We needed a last minute dogsitter and she and her family took excellent care of our pup. She was very thorough in the care even for watching him for a short time. I highly recommend her!”

“We were visiting Tifton, GA for a few days and wanted to find a sitter where our 2 year old active black lab could run and play and enjoy the day while we were sight-seeing. I requested the stay the day before and Michelle responded to my request within 15 minutes! Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!”

“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”

“This was my first Rover experience and I'm so happy I booked with Tracy! My fur baby, Theo, seemed to be well taken care of all day and very entertained. He was tired and content when we came to get him at the end of the day. I couldn't have asked for better! He got to run around outside with her dogs, play, and also some downtime to snuggle. We will see them again, for sure!”

“Isabela was able to accommodate us last minute on a holiday, which was super helpful to our situation! Our dog had a great time, and came back to us super happy. Thank you!”

I have incredibly friendly pets that will make yours feel at home and I’m excellent at potty training puppies I’ve had several of my own over the years! I work from home so I have plenty of time to hangout with your beans :) while they are with me their schedule is my schedule! I have a fenced in yard, friendly cats and dogs and about a million toys for any pet, as well as private rooms they can hang in if they prefer to be alone and a cozy guest crate for pups if you like your beans crated at night or for any reason :)
“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”

“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.”

“Exactly what we expected from their bio on Rover. Courteous, professional and punctual. We look forward to them taking care of our boys for a long time. Thank you Janece and Matthew.”

“Martina has been extremely reliable and patient. She’s always communicative during the walks and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. Being in the Army with unpredictable hours is tough, but she truly puts my mind at ease knowing my baby is getting the care and attention he needs when I can’t be there. I’m so thankful for her!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals all my life and been care taker with medicine, giving birth, wounds, etc and wouldn’t trade it for the world of the knowledge I’ve gained and the love for them! I work active duty in the airforce I work basically a 0730-1600 with an hour lunch but I live in the dorms so I just have a pet fish but I would love to be able to give some love to someone’s pets! I’ve worked around and with animals almost all my life and everything that comes with them and I am going to be studying pre vet for asu in the early spring of next year!! I fully believe you know what’s best for your animal since you know them and I am here to love them and care for them as you would!

“Jacquelyn was absolutely great with my 90lb German Shepherd. She kept me updated the entire time and made sure he was back safely in our home. Highly recommend for daily dog walks.”

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities.

There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!
About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

He very much likes to be a window watcher and enjoys the squirrels a little more than my dogs.
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: I have grown up in a household full of animals. I’ve always been the kid to stop and help an animal. I love watching animals aswell as trying to teach them tricks !

About: I’ve had several pets growing up so I have years of experience playing and taking care of dogs and cats. I love going to the beach, park, or hiking so I can take the dogs with me on any adventures. I am currently working part time. I am available on most weekends to spend time taking care of the pets. I am pretty active so if the dog is high energy, I can take him/her out on a long walk/run. Currently, I live in an apartment with one dog. I can provide both at home or at clients home services as long as all house rules are given to me before hand.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. As a biology student who hopes to become a veterinarian, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule, so I can make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I’ll always communicate with you and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep them in a safe environment, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind.

“Martina, did an amazing job with our Snuggles. She sent pictures and gave us updates throughout his stay. He appeared to be well kept and happy. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”

“This is my second time having Kristen take care of Lilith while I was away. She did an amazing job once again! Great communication. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for their pet to be loved and well taken care of.”

“We were brand new to Rover and honestly a little anxious about leaving our three fur babies with someone we didn’t know. Turns out we had nothing to worry about. Brennan is fantastic. We met her and her family about two weeks before the stay with our fur babies, and they were warm, welcoming, and put us at ease right away. During their 10-day stay, we received updates, photos, and videos every single day. It felt like our pups were off at the best doggy camp ever. They were loved and cared for as if they were her own. We couldn’t be happier. We definitely recommend Brennan and will absolutely use her again. Promise you won't be disappointed. 10/10!”

“Whitney and Ryan are the best!! I always feel so good about leaving my dog with them because I know he’s going to be spoiled rotten and taken care of! He loves going over there and playing with their dogs. Whitney always sends pictures so I don’t miss him too terribly! I highly recommend them!”


“Oralee always takes such good care of my dogs. It’s a good feeling when you can go away and know that your dogs are being loved and playing with their doggy friends and that they are having so much fun. I love the pictures she sends daily. They help the kids not miss them so much. I highly recommend Oralee. I’m so grateful I found her.”

“Aiko is the best! Sometimes it can be hard for my puppy to get adjusted to someone new, but she felt at home with Aiko pretty quickly! When I picked her up the first time, she was content and well-rested. I really appreciate Aiko's communication with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”

“Lauren is amazing! She watched my two dogs last minute, followed their feeding and medication schedule, took them on walks, and sent lots of photos and updates. I always am nervous to leave my dogs somewhere new and she completely put me at ease. My pups came back happy and relaxed, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

“FIVE stars! Brody’s stay with Jennifer was like a second family for him; he had other dogs and a toddler to play with! I received photos and updates often. Will use again when needed :)”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”

“Lexie was very communicative about how Molly was doing which gave me great peace of mind. I know without a doubt that Molly was well loved during her stay. Unfortunately, Molly tried to dig out of the fence and so her outside time was limited for her safety. I’m hopeful that Molly’s digging behavior will begin to lessen as she becomes more comfortable in her forever home, and I’m hopeful she can stay again in the future. Thank you, Lexie!”

“Paola was amazing! She treated both my girls like furry princesses. She made me feel welcomed and relaxed the moment we met! During the puppy vacation Paola sent me daily pictures and videos. My pups had a great time! 10/10 would recommend”

“Kathy was great with my dogs. Good communication and pictures while I was away. She took my dogs last minute because of a family emergency and I’m very grateful. Will definitely contact her again for boarding.”

“This was my labs first time spending overnights with someone other than friends and family. They seemed to adjust well under Lindsay's care with no issues. Lindsay followed my instructions accordingly and for that I'm very grateful. I would recommend Lindsay to my friends. Thank you for loving my girls!”
