“Jen was phenomenal! Honestly the best sitter I’ve ever used. She was quick to respond, send updates, and never made me feel like a burden for asking. My dog had the best time and has been pouting since I picked her up. I will always book Jen if she’s available. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog. She’s incredible!”
“Carrie is the greatest dog sitter ever. I swear she is the dog whisperer because Luna came back more trained than when I left her for my trip. You can tell she is very passionate in what she does and I don't have to worry about my dog when she is with her. I will be using her again!!! :) ”
“Angela and family were great! Lexi seemed like she was home away from home. I appreciate the updates via photos and messages.

“Julie’s everything her reviews says! I left my two 13 week old Australian Shepherd’s with Julie and would do it again in a heartbeat! I got pics and notes over the weekend. Moses and Levi had a great time and I could tell that they had made a friend in Julie! I would highly recommend her for your boarding needs!”
“You know your dog is happy with your sitter when you go the next time and he pulls on his leash to get into her house! We are so happy with Shawna’s care of Rufus while we were away.

“Paige was very lovely and provided great care for my cat! My cat has a history of getting stress related UTIs, so I was very worried about leaving her alone for a longer period of time.

“Jonathan is the one!! This was our first time leaving our cats for a while and we couldn’t be happier with how attentive Jonathan was with us and our furry gang. We appreciated the pictures and daily updates, but more than anything, he gave us a piece of mind while being away for a week and that is hard to find! We will definitely be requesting his services for any future getaways. Thank you Jonathan for taking such good care of the gang and for showing them nothing but love and care♥️🐾”

My time are tailored to your cat's needs, whether that's play, gentle brushing, or simply providing a calm, comforting presence. I am very detail-oriented and will follow your routine closely to ensure your cat feels safe and relaxed while you're away.
About: I have had dogs all of my life since I was 4 years old. I didnt start to take up the responsibility to take care of them until I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a range of dog breeds and sizes in my care from a golden retriever to a toy Aussie. I love take care, play and just hang out with animals. I currently work as a middle school teacher so my summers are pretty free! Whether it’s a one day check in or a vacation, I will happily spend my summer with your pups! I will follow whatever needs you have for your dog(s) whether I have to house sit, walk, or just hang out with your animal for the day. I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.
“Abby was very kind and attentive to our pups. She made sure to contact us with any information regarding them that she felt we needed to know. Will for sure be a repeat client of hers.”
“Sara is amazing!! She was so patient with our cat Piper and Sara was so respectful of that. Pip can be particular about people but by the third day she adjusted well. Thank you so much Sara 😊”
“Isabella was a terrific choice to care for our five cats. We appreciated her efforts to ensure our more shy, older cats were fed, while our younger cats devoured their dinner. She definitely met all of our cat sitting needs while we were away from home. We would gladly have Isabella return.”
“We left our sweet kitty Elora with Angela and her family over Christmas. We were very grateful for her to accommodate her and bring her into her families celebration. Elora seemed to get along just fine with her and her animals and came home just as content as when we dropped her off. The only thing I would mention for anyone with chemical sensitives Elora did come home smelling like a lot of artificial fragrances as did everything we dropped her off with and needed a good bath (she was not pleased about that) as we are chemical sensitive. This has nothing to do with the quality of care, and the genuine heart of Angela and her family just something to be aware of for those who have chemical sensitivities to artificial fragrances which is why I have rated 4 stars.”

“Hayley and her husband were lifesavers for me today. I had to start a job and only had about twenty minutes to find someone. They were ready and willing. My baby girl had such a great day that she was asleep before we got to their stop sign! ??. I would definitely use them again.”
“Anna was great taking care of our dog Mila, she informed us how it was going and even though it was Mila's first experience and she was nervous, Anna knew how to handle the situation. I definitely recommend Anna.”
“Thanks for always being so willing to accommodate our Kenzie at any given time! You have been such a big help to us this past week and any other time we have booked you! We appreciate you and your family for every bit of love you give her. And we both know she loves you guys just as much 💕”

About: Hello there! I'm Razelle, your local dog walker reporting for duty! I'm here to make sure your pup gets the best care possible. I currently do remote work and have found plenty of dedicated time to do something I really enjoy on the side. As a certified Rover pro, I provide all sorts of services. From dog walking to house sitting and drop-in visits. But what sets me apart from the rest of the sitters is my passion for your dog’s well-being. I've had countless reviews on Rover and other platforms commenting that I treat their dog as my own. If you have training regimes or a set schedule, you can count on me to get it done! I also incorporate basic obedience training during our walks [if requested]. I teach simple commands like "Heel," "Look," and "Sit" to keep your pup focused and obedient, even in the face of distractions. This can be important when facing unexpected encounters! FRIENDLINESS WITH OTHERS REQUIRED: Safety is a top priority for me, as I understand that your dog's well-being is of the utmost importance to you. For this reason, I am unable to care for dogs with a history of attacking other dogs or humans. Furthermore, if your dog exhibits any aggressive behavior during a visit, I will be unable to continue caring for them in the future. This policy ensures the safety of all dogs and humans in my care and allows me to provide the best possible service to you and your furry companion. WALKING SUPPLIES? To ensure that your dog's walk is safe and enjoyable, please make sure that your pup has a well-fitted collar or harness, and that you have poop bags and a leash at the ready. While shoes are not required, I recommend them for added safety and comfort during your dog's adventure. Thank you for helping me provide the best possible care for your pup! Disclaimer: Ensuring that your dog's collar or harness is well-fitted is crucial to their safety during walks. If I determine that the collar or harness cannot be properly adjusted to fit your dog securely, I will be unable to walk your furry friend, as this increases the risk of your dog getting loose and running away. Please be mindful of the fit of your dog's collar or harness before scheduling a walk to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your pup. SCHEDULE? Monday-Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Weekends: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change according to the sunrise/sunset* --------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ: *WILL YOU SEND UPDATES OF MY DOGS?* You betcha! At the end of every walk or stay, I'll send you a detailed report on how your furry friend fared. You can expect to see all the commands we used during our walk, the exciting experiences your pup had, and of course, plenty of adorable photos from our time together. Who knows, you might even find yourself printing out the report and hanging it up on your fridge for all to see! *I HAVE NEVER LEFT MY DOG BEFORE, WILL HE OR SHE BE OKAY?* It is natural for some dogs to experience separation anxiety when being cared for by someone new. As a professional dog walker, I do my utmost to ensure that each dog feels comfortable and at ease with plenty of interaction and attention. It is not uncommon for new surroundings to disrupt a dog's digestive system, resulting in loose stools. However, there is no cause for alarm as this is a normal reaction to a change in routine. Typically, after 1-2 visits, the dog's digestive system will adjust, and any issues will resolve. It is important to note that the level of reaction varies depending on the dog's unique personality and temperament. *WHAT IF MY DOG IS SPECIAL NEEDS?* I am able to care for nearly ALL special needs dogs! 1) Allergies: Please let me know of any beforehand! 2) Medicine: info must be written on a note alongside food, with dosage, etc. (non-medical injections such as insulin is okay. In the state of Virginia, medical/complex injections require specific qualifications/certifications, which I do not have.) 3) Diapers are okay 4) Blind or Deaf? I’ve cared for several blind/deaf dogs and they’re always great! 5) Paralyzed: I have experience with a pitbull who was paralyzed from the waste down due to an incident. I kept up with physical therapy, indoor accidents, cleaning/caring, hand feeding. 5) Something Else? Let me know *HOW WILL MY DOGS BE CARED FOR?* When caring for your pup during visits and stays, their personality is my top priority. I will adjust my activity level according to their specific needs to ensure their safety and comfort. In the case of inclement weather or unfortunate situations that may cause your pup to get dirty, rest assured that I will have a towel or wipes readily available to clean them up. You can trust that I will provide the utmost care for your furry friend. Disclaimer: Please note that dogs can learn from their canine companions during visits. However, I cannot be held responsible for any habits that your dog may pick up from other dogs. Additionally, I cannot be held liable if your dog decides to consume unusual debris or objects during our visit. It is essential to keep a close eye on your dog and guarantee their safety at all times. *GROOMING?* Although I don't do grooming myself, I don't mind picking up and dropping your dog off at your preferred groomer/grooming salon for $10 each way. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any injuries/damages/harm the grooming salon may cause to your dog. Please make sure that this is a groomer/salon that you TRUST. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT MY DOG Meet Suki, my adorable 3 year old Blue Merle Border Collie! She's sweet as honey and loves everyone, including cats, dogs, and humans of all ages. I can't guarantee she won't lick you to death, but hey, that's just her way of saying hello! I'm pretty strict when it comes to Suki's diet and exercise routine. She gets fed twice a day with a slow feeder to avoid any mishaps, and I make sure to keep her brain active with mentally stimulating games when we're not out and about. Speaking of which, we hit the dog park 3-5 times a week and go on hikes and runs at the lake. Suki's a ball of energy and loves playing fetch, so be prepared to throw that ball a few times! Now, let me be honest with you. It's highly unlikely, but on occasion, Suki might come along for a walk or a drop-in visit and hang out in my car. Don't worry, she's super chill and won't leave any fur behind. But if you're not cool with it, just let me know, and I'll make sure she stays home, catching up on her favorite TV shows or something. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you want to chat about your pet concerns and their needs. Again, I am home mostly all of the day. Anything else you would want to tell me I would love to hear! Monday: 6 AM - 11 PM Tuesday: 6 AM - 11 PM Wednesday: 6 AM - 11 PM Thursday: 6 AM - 11 PM Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Saturday: 6 AM - 11 PM Sunday: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change depending on the sunrise/sunset* UNAVAILABLE DATES: August 11th, 17th, 2024 September 13th-15th, 2024 December [PENDING] As a professional pet sitter, I am willing to do some serious acrobatics to keep your home spick and span, even if your furry friend decides to have a little accident. Let me know what your preferences are, and I'll do my best to accommodate them!
“Tara has worked out so well for my work schedule in the Spartanburg area! Blue has found another favorite sitter through Rover.com. Tara has been amazing with her responsible/professional yet loving care and communication throughout the day with me, I'm not sure Blue even wants to go home at the end of the day! I am praying that in 13 weeks if I make this job my permanent one, Tara will agree to be our permanent care giver for Blue. Hi, highly recommend Tara without any reservations.”
“Theo had a blast with Faye! Cassy is clearly a wonderful dog mama and Theo felt at home right away. Wonderful communication and photos throughout the day. Lovely fenced yard. Can’t wait for our next play date!”
“Sarah is truly an exceptional pet sitter and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She cared for our dog Turner in her own home every day for four weeks while I was overseas visiting family and my husband was working, and the level of love, professionalism, and dedication she showed was extraordinary. Turner came into her care recovering from bronchitis, and thanks to Sarah’s 25 years of experience with dogs, she was incredibly vigilant and consistent with his medication and overall health. She kept us constantly updated and gave us so much peace of mind with clear communication and frequent photos. We always knew exactly how Turner was doing. She went above and beyond to make Turner feel at home, giving him his own bed, toys, and a loving, calm environment. Turner also struggles with separation anxiety, and under Sarah’s care and guidance he made huge progress — even with leash walking, which was a big win for him! She took him on multiple walks every day, and he came home happy, relaxed, and excited to go back to her house, which says everything. I truly cannot express how grateful we are to Sarah for taking such beautiful care of a precious member of our family. If you are looking for someone you can completely trust with your dog’s wellbeing, safety, and happiness, Sarah is the one. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!”

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm so I have extended experience with horses, goats, cows, dogs, and cats. I regularly watch a friend's cats when they are out of town. I can feed, bathe, administer oral or topical medicine, walk, and play with pets. I currently have 1 elderly dog that is docile and friendly. I am able to care for senior dogs and dogs with additional needs or medical needs as I have experience through my own as well as caring for others' animals. I am currently saving up for my unpaid internship in music therapy. I am extremely available. My only obligations are one class on Monday's and Friday's. All other times of the week I am looking forward to helping others care for their furry loved ones. My dog truly family. She allowed on furniture and supervised play in our open yard. She loves sunbathing and playing with toys. I can, and am used to, administering medicine on a schedule. I am a long distance runner so long walks and extended play time is no issue at all! The following is a look into our daily life. We begin the day with a walk before food and medicine. We play outside and sunbathe around noon. In the later afternoon we go on an extended walk/run followed by food and medicine. Before bed we always play with her and take her out before bed. At night she often needs to go out multiple times a night so I take her whenever I hear her cues.

“Joy is amazing!!! I don’t even know where to begin. 1) She is a great communicator: Her messages when booking, during day care, and even her report card were completed super quickly. 2) Her house has a large fenced yard which is a super bonus! 3) Her family dogs are sooo calm and well trained. They were perfect playmates for my boy. 4) She sent me so many pics of my little guy while he was in day care which really reassured me that he was in good hands and having a great day. I highly recommend using Joy for your pet needs. We will DEFINITELY be back! 5) I could honestly tell from her pics and from our meeting each other that she has a passion for what she does and that she really cared about baby.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - West Forest
About: Hello, I am Binta! I graduated from North Carolina A&T in Greensboro, where I studied Animal Science. I have 9+ years of experience of raising pets, mainly dogs and cats. All throughout high school, I have volunteered after school taking care of rescue cats so that they can be comfortable while waiting for their forever home. I also used to work part-time in a local dog resort, looking after dogs of all kinds of breeds and temperaments. So, if your furry family member needs a walk or a friend to play with, you can count on me to keep him or her company while you are away for the day! I currently work part-time with an irregular schedule (dog and cat hotel, ironically), so I am free in some mornings and the afternoons and evenings for the time being. If not, I will notify you if it's not possible. Weekends, nights and holidays included. If it’s a drop-in request, I would like the owner to leave a list or on the pet’s Rover card on how much and what times they are fed. If it’s a walk request, I will have water and poop bags when your pet needs breaks during walks.
“Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. My family and friends had pets but it wasn’t enough! I convinced my parents really young to get a dog and since then, I’ve taken care of and trained 3 dogs of my own. Friends and family that get pets often ask me for advice. I have a very nurturing personality and it translates well with animals, so I absolutely love them! I have experience training and basic grooming/bathing! I work remotely so I am home and available to take care of your furry friend :) I will ensure that I know your animal’s temperament/likes/dislikes in order to make both of us comfortable! I’m very attentive and know how to distract/entertain needy animals (from experience haha). I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a spike that goes into the ground that is secure and has a long leash. Other than that, I have a dog friendly neighborhood that we can take walks around!
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. I currently live with and help care for three dogs (ages 1, 3, and 12), so I’m very familiar with managing different needs! I work part-time hours, so my time is pretty open overall. My schedule is set for each week, so my availability will be posted well in advance. I make sure to keep a consistent eye on animals even if they seem to be low maintenance. That includes indoor/outdoor time and during walks. If you have any safety concerns regarding your pet, just reach out.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up on a family farm and have raised and taken care of many pets of all shapes and sizes.

I can assure you I will provide for your fur babies and protect them as I would my own I keep my pets in my home. They are extremely friendly to all pets and are extremely loving to other pets. I keep them on a timely schedule with potting, eating and sleeping
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal attention and care I give to each pet. I take time to learn their routine, quirks and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience with both tiny puppies and kittens feeding bottles. To senior pets who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and treat every animal like my own—making sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and comfort no matter their age or energy level. While working part- time at D6 teaching. I take on a few side jobs, I am a nanny, house sitter and decal maker have more free time and availability! I have one dog and three outdoor cats. I also have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to play and make themselves at home!
“Diego was amazing walking our dog for us while we were away for the day. Chief had a great time walking the neighborhood and trail with him. We highly recommend Diego for your dog walking needs.”
About: I’ve loved animals literally forever and I think they deserve good care!! I’ve been taking care of them since I was 14 (I’m 23) so quite a while now. I consider this line of work to be mutually beneficial:) I’m very flexible with making sure I take walks and such, so I just add them in. I wake up early and stick to a routine so I have no problems accommodating. I go to your home so your pet is more comfortable! I do walks, clean up, play with them (if they want to, haha), brush, and even bathe if they need it.

About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have a genuine love for pets of all kinds. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I provide attentive, loving care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and shy pets, and I’m committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Because I stay at home, I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to accommodate them to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is part of my daily life. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving environment where they will be treated like family. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“I wanted to reach out and thank Abby for being so diligent about keeping us updated whenever her schedule changes. We truly appreciate her communication and the care she provides. We are entrusting both of our dogs to Abby's care. One of them is particularly sensitive due to his age and general nature. I have been genuinely worried about his well-being. We would not trust just anyone with our pets. We have a great deal of confidence in Abby and feel very comfortable having them in her care.”

I was nervous to board him because it was NYE and we were visiting from out of town however she matched the glowing reviews from other clients and quickly put us at ease. I forgot his food of all things and she dipped into her supply. When he cried at night they allowed him to sleep with a family member. They made it look easy with kids and dogs!! I’m so grateful we found them. Thank you!!”
