“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!”
“We left our 7 month old English Cocker Spaniel, Bo, with Merrell while visiting family in town. He had never stayed with anyone else overnight so we were already a little anxious, but Merrell did a great job welcoming him in and making sure he was loved on. She kept us updated on his status and sent lots of pictures throughout his stay. It worked out well and we are already planning on booking with her again when we visit for Christmas. Highly recommend Merrell if you’re in need of a sitter in Columbia.”
“I am so happy to have found Becky! Maggie was so happy throughout her stay and Becky took amazing care of her! I didn’t have to think twice about whether she was ok or not. She gave Maggie so many cuddles!!”
“By the time our "meet and greet" was over, I knew that Debbie was the right caregiver for our sweet girls. And I was right! We received pictures on a daily basis as well as comments as to how each dog was doing. When I came to pick up the dogs, they were excited to see me, but they weren't racing for the door, trying to escape. Clearly, they felt comfortable during their stay. We will be calling on Debbie from now on!”
“We used Chad for day care before and knew he’d do a wonderful job watching our pup for the week. Badger felt right at home and we got pictures everyday showing him having a great time. I am so comfortable leaving badger with Chad and his family and recommend him highly!!!”
“I was very nervous of leaving my fur baby with a sitter being that she’s still a puppy and so tiny she’s in need of so much attention. Maria took Madison in and did such a great job with her that I will definitely be booking her for all my sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Qais did a wonderful job watching our pups! He was quick to respond, took frequent videos and was attentive to the special instructions we left him. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be returning if we ever need doggie daycare again!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix and a 4-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week.my husband stays at home full time. I have a very flexible schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.
“Thank you, Savannah! Opie had a quick overnight trip with Savannah and Chandler. Very responsive. Easy peasy and Opie is a happy camper. Appreciate the happy home with a playmate for Opie to stay at.”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 2 dogs over the holiday weekend! They got lots of playtime and outside time, and they were both nice and tired by the time we picked them up! She sent a couple of pictures and a couple of updates. Just enough to let us know our dogs were doing well. One of my dogs is older with some arthritis, and she made sure he got all of his medicines and had a safe space to rest when he got tired out. Would definitely recommend!”
“Anseanee was the best! She communicates well and was very patient my my cane corso. She even taught me a few things. I'd recommend her to everyone and will definitely be using her again! Thanks so much Anseanee!”
“Nikki took very good care of my Yorkshire Suzy. It was 15 days on the road and Nikki sent me daily photos and videos of my dog. Nikki has an excellent fenced backyard for the dogs. If I need someone to take care of Suzy again, I'll be happy if Nikki receives her again.”

“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.”

“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!”
“Caroline was a gem we are so thankful we were able to find her with such short notice since we were in town for my brothers army graduation and glad she was able to work with us and our fur baby.

Will definitely be booking with her again if we come back into town.”

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.

I only have one class MWF 10:50-11:40 so around that I can take pets out whenever and TTh I have classes 10:05-2:30 but other than that I am completely devoted to the animals and spending time with them!

About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to providing them with plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and keeping pets comfortable in their usual routines. Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I am a work from home mom and have all the time to play with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in backyard that is fully secure. I also have an air conditioned garage. All pets are welcome to be inside all day long but sometimes they want to play and run and it’s nice to have a cool down spot. All animals are welcome to stay inside all day and night. I am a light sleeper and wake up to let my senior dog, Lola, out at night for bathroom breaks regularly. I am always home and my daughter has been raised and daughter how to be safe and appropriate with new animals. We treat others and their pets with the respect we would want in return.
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.
About: My names Jaylon I’m a college student with a husky and a Yorke. I’ve raised them and a litter on my own and I’ve had them for a couple years. I love all dogs no matter how troublesome I enjoy them. I understand how challenging it can be for you to come home and take care of that extension of your family and I would love to make that a lot easier. I’m flexible with my hours being that I am a college student and I am very friendly with other people’s animals. I would be really grateful if you give me the opportunity to make you and your pets life happier by providing my services. I can’t wait to hear from you all, thanks!!! I’m currently working from home so I’ll have i plenty of time throughout my day to help you with your furry friend while your away! I don’t mind walks and I’m more than happy to play with your animal to form stimulation for them while your away on business- work
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’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!

“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!”
“We left our 7 month old English Cocker Spaniel, Bo, with Merrell while visiting family in town. He had never stayed with anyone else overnight so we were already a little anxious, but Merrell did a great job welcoming him in and making sure he was loved on. She kept us updated on his status and sent lots of pictures throughout his stay. It worked out well and we are already planning on booking with her again when we visit for Christmas. Highly recommend Merrell if you’re in need of a sitter in Columbia.”
“By the time our "meet and greet" was over, I knew that Debbie was the right caregiver for our sweet girls. And I was right! We received pictures on a daily basis as well as comments as to how each dog was doing. When I came to pick up the dogs, they were excited to see me, but they weren't racing for the door, trying to escape. Clearly, they felt comfortable during their stay. We will be calling on Debbie from now on!”
“We used Chad for day care before and knew he’d do a wonderful job watching our pup for the week. Badger felt right at home and we got pictures everyday showing him having a great time. I am so comfortable leaving badger with Chad and his family and recommend him highly!!!”
“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!”
“Qais did a wonderful job watching our pups! He was quick to respond, took frequent videos and was attentive to the special instructions we left him. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be returning if we ever need doggie daycare again!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
“Thank you, Savannah! Opie had a quick overnight trip with Savannah and Chandler. Very responsive. Easy peasy and Opie is a happy camper. Appreciate the happy home with a playmate for Opie to stay at.”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 2 dogs over the holiday weekend! They got lots of playtime and outside time, and they were both nice and tired by the time we picked them up! She sent a couple of pictures and a couple of updates. Just enough to let us know our dogs were doing well. One of my dogs is older with some arthritis, and she made sure he got all of his medicines and had a safe space to rest when he got tired out. Would definitely recommend!”
“Anseanee was the best! She communicates well and was very patient my my cane corso. She even taught me a few things. I'd recommend her to everyone and will definitely be using her again! Thanks so much Anseanee!”
“Yua is a fantastic sitter and my dog loves coming here so much that he pulls to go back during my walks with him around the neighborhood! The consistent daily updates, good communication, and photos are very appreciated.”
“Lindsey was amazing! She was kind, patient and knowledgeable. She treated my pups like her own, they needed a lot of understanding and special attention since we’ve never left them before. Lindsey went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and sent lots of pictures to put us at ease. Thank you so much!!!”
