“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.”
“I chose Lexie as my dogs sitter the first time I used Rover. I felt very comfortable with her during our first meeting. I appreciated how she took notes to make sure our baby would be safe in her care. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were out of town. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs. She is fantastic!”
“Monica and Christopher were awesome. I was able to book extremely short notice and I got tons of updates and pictures! I had a nervous baby, and they took her in without questions and within the first night I had pictures of my "nervous" kid playing, cuddling, and smiling like she was home!”
“Aiko did a great job with Brock she was very patient and understanding with him even when he had an accident when he first arrived .I would definitely recommend Aiko and I hope to have her as a sitter 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!”
“My dog Angel came back saying how much she loved staying with Debbie and her other dog friends. My dog will be staying there again in the near future. Debbie has a serious organized system of taking care of dogs and I don't know how she does it. A+”
“Wonderful in every single way! They took the best care of my dog, sent me pictures of her every day, and took her on long walks and runs which she loved. Would recommend and will be booking them again!”
“Whitney and Ryan are such a pleasure to work with. They treat your puppy just as you would, like family. I can enjoy my trips so much more when my dog Walle is with them. 15/10 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.”
“Jenny was absolutely LOVELY!! She sent us many pictures throughout the day and informed us on how he was doing. Our pup had a great time with her and her kiddos. She is also extremely responsive. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”
“Thank you Jud and Nicole for the meet and greet with your family and your dog before we left Dora with y’all, it made us feel she was in safe hands and that she’d be right at home!”
“Such a great experience! Yolanda was attentive to our pets and took lots of pictures for us to see how they were doing during their stay with her. I recommend Yolanda! We had no worries or concerns while she had the pups. That speaks volumes when you leave your fur babies for a week with another person. We would select Yolanda's profile again when we need a sitter. She was great!”
“Aubriana was awesome. She took great care of our dog for the week she had him. Even my kids loved using her because our dog enjoyed his stay. She kept us abreast with pictures of him playing with the other dogs.”
“I can't say enough good things about Karen. My boy was well taken care of, had a lot of fun. Very welcoming and professional and warm. I will definitely be boarding with her again. Absolutely phenomenal!”
“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.”
“Kira was amazing with my sweet boy Shadow. She was very prompt with her responses and shared photos with me throughout the day. I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I currently have two cats, and one is special needs (she has FIV) who sometimes needs medication when she's sick. So I don't mind getting down and dirty with a litter box, playing with a feather for 30 minutes, or giving any medication a as well. I'll love and spoil your cat(s) like my own.
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.
“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 🤩”
“Ashley did a great job and persevered with a sneaky, stubborn cat that resists his meds in every possible way. We are so happy to have someone who can get him his meds. Will use anytime.”
About: I’ve always been around animals. I got my first dog at age 8 and have always had one since. I love all animals and will love yours like my own. I am a stay at home mom so I have a very flexible schedule. I can house sit or do drop in visits depending on the need. I have a fully fenced backyard on half an acre so there is plenty of space for the dogs to run and have so much fun!
“Qais did such an awesome job taking care of my 2 kitties on short notice. His communication with us was excellent, and he sent pictures of my babies while they were in his care. I will definitely rebook with him when the need arises!”
“Heather took great effort to "find" my one year old kitty who wanted to play hide and seek and give her all the love she would accept. So glad to have Heather looking after my baby while I was away.”
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a young girl. I currently part of an non profit animal rescue on Elloree, SC where we have a shelter for 100+ cats. I absolutely love cats and dogs! I work full time but have ability to come home at lunch time to check and care for animals. My personal pets are very spoiled and are taken care of when I first wake up and then throughout the evening when I get home from work in the afternoon. I live on the country on 4 acres. I have two fenced in areas. My personal pets include 9 cats and one small dog. My animals are allowed access in/out of the house. I have several large rooms that can be used for boarding.
“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.”
“I had Claire house sit. She spoiled my cats rotten while I was away and took care of my house plants and goldfish pond. She said they call her the "cat whisperer" and I believe her...even the cat who never goes near strangers was sitting in her lap. She kept in touch while I traveled and sent lots of pictures of the cats getting plenty of love and care.”

“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.”
About: Ever since I was little I've preferred the company of pets over people. My first job was at petco as a sales associate then after in the grooming salon and there i blossomed into who I am now! Currently taking a break from work after my stroke and what better way to spend that down time than cuddling with your babies? My favorite thing to do is work with animals and it truly does not feel like work to me. I dont have a fenced in yard so all walks are on leash. I do have long lines for times they need to stretch their legs and will be adding seperated fenced in areas for the dogs to have some safe secure fun in the good weather times.
“Nicole and Telly are AMAZING!!!! They have helped me and my dogs through an incredibly stressful transition moving across country. They treat my dogs like part of the family! My girls look forward to spending their day with them and their dog Apollo. The dogs wrestle together, bask in the sunshine, roll in the yard and go on long walks. When I pick them up they are POOPED and sleep the whole 20 min back to the Airbnb that we are currently staying in. This is so helpful for one of my dogs who has massive anxiety issues, because she’s too tired to stress about all of the changes we’re going through. Nicole, Telly and their kids truly love animals and are fabulous caregivers! I feel so fortunate to have found them!🙏🏻”
About: Hi there! I’m Erica — a lifelong animal lover who has shared her life with all kinds of pets. Today, I’m lucky enough to have one rescue dog and two rescue cats, and they are truly my babies. I don’t consider them pets; they’re my children. They follow me from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, and they bring so much joy and personality into my life. Before adopting my own crew, I fostered dogs for a rescue group, which gave me experience with pups of all backgrounds, personalities, and needs. That time taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals feel safe, understood, and deeply cared for. When you trust me with your fur children, my number one priority is giving you security and peace of mind while you’re away. I want you to know they’ll be cared for with the same love, attention, and respect you give them every day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding routines, or special instructions, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cherished. We would love to welcome your fur babies into our extended family and treat them as if they were our own. We truly love to love on four‑legged fur babies. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life. My own rescue dog and two rescue cats are deeply woven into my daily routine — from morning feedings and playtime to evening snuggles and winding down together. Because I’m so used to giving consistent love, attention, and structure to my own pets, adding care for your pet fits seamlessly into my schedule. I’m home regularly throughout the day, which allows me to provide reliable check‑ins, feeding, litter box care, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet needs quiet company, interactive play, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I’m able to incorporate their needs smoothly into my weekly rhythm. In my own home, caring for animals is part of my everyday rhythm. My rescue dog and two rescue cats are truly my babies, so I’m constantly tuned in to their needs — feeding routines, fresh water, clean litter, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because pet care is already woven into my daily life, extending that same level of attention to your pet feels completely natural. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comforting as possible. I follow your instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, litter box care, medications, playtime, or quiet companionship. I’m patient with shy or sensitive pets and always move at their pace, making sure they feel safe and understood. I also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always the same — to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and gentleness I give my own.
“Buttercup had a great time with Kira and friends. She came back happy, tired, and well taken care of. Kira was friendly and helpful with our new baby fears. Buttercup will be back for sure?”
“Teia was comfortable with qais from the start. We appreciated the many updates with pics and video of the great walk he took teia on. Teia will definitely stay with qais again!”
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.
“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!”
“Jennifer and her husband were so kind and made me feel so comfortable with my first Rover experience! They have a great fenced in backyard for dogs to play in, and their dogs are very sweet. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a sitter!”
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.
“Teia had a great time and came home ready for a nap. Lyndsay sent beautiful pictures which we will treasure. And really appreciate her flexibility and agreeing to our last minute request for daycare. See you soon!”

I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along.

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and have loved them for just as long. I don't have any official experience, but I will love and protect your babies like they're my own. I can also watch reptiles as I have a bearded dragon and a yellow belly slider. I'm currently a stay at home mom for a beautiful boy. I will be doing any pet care while he is at school. 8am-1pm, or later if you really need someone to check on your baby. I will do my best to take care of your animals the same way you would so your pets feel right at home with me. I have a cat with FIV so medication (pills) will not be an issue, and I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve for animals that don't like pills (one of my dogs hates them).
“Oralee is excellent and patient with my new rescue pup Jasper. Her communication is top notch when she is taking care of him while I’m at work. He is such a sweet shy boy and she has put him at ease on their walks.”
About: Im staying in South Carolina more now, so I’m back to being available. I mostly stay home building a homestead, so I have some spare time. Prior Air Force medic, for 5 years, and would house, dog, and babysit for fellow members and leadership. Also, was a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years. I own three big dogs, an kitten and a tortoise, but have had the responsibility of caretaking for pets since I was young. I can schedule pretty much at any time and am willing to work longer hours, if it is needed. I am very flexible. I prefer not to drive over 40 minutes to a location for drop ins and walks, but can if you are unable to find another sitter closer to your location. I do not allow others pets in my own home due to two of my rescue dogs taking a long time to be comfortable around other dogs. I pay very close attention to the slightest changes in a pets mood and can be very reactive in an emergency situation, if it occurs. I am responsible on walks, I will keep your baby safe and not allow others to interfere with them. I will respect your rules and training that you have for your pet in your home and outside environment.
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.

I'm Esther--your pet's soon-to-be new favorite human I have 3 years of experience working in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention.

I'm kind, empathetic, and attentive, and I always treat every pet like my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to work with a variety of pet-care needs and I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and find a schedule that works best for everyone.

About: For the past 5 years i’ve taken on the amazing job of pet sitting. I’ve sat for numerous families ranging from a single pet, to multiple - of all different ages. I’ve administered medications to elderly dogs daily, taken 3 dogs on a walk at once and played with all sorts of cool animals over the years! As a stay at home mama, to my 2 year old daughter my days are usually open and flexible to accommodate whatever needs you and your pet may have! I’m currently a full-time online stay at home mom, in which I’m able to be home all day. Your pets needs will be tended to immediately throughout the day, along with numerous potty breaks and a lot of love and attention. Currently, we live on 5 acres out in the country. While we have plenty of land to go on walks, we do not have a fenced in yard currently. Therefore, any animals boarded in my home must be able to potty on leashes. Also, we have an outdoor dog & cat that may have a possibility of coming in contact with your animals. So friendly with other animals & children are a must.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. I currently have fostered two large breed dogs. I also volunteer at the animal shelter. I am fear free certified. I have 3 cats and 1 dog at home. I've taken care of every age group in both cats or dogs (puppy-senior). I currently work full-time at the hospital. I am available in the early mornings or after 5pm during work days. I am off most Wednesdays & weekends. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly dog and 3 cats. Pets have full access to the house and yard at all times. They are allowed to hangout on the couches as well! I have pet sat for multiple people in my life and always make sure to lock up while entering or exiting the house! I understand 100% that you work hard for your home & I strive to keep it the way you left it.
About: Having shared my home with every kind of pet since I was a child, I bring a deep, intuitive understanding to pet care that goes beyond the basics. This extensive experience has given me a special skill for navigating the unique challenges of both ends of the spectrum: I excel at the positive reinforcement needed for training energetic puppies and have the gentle, patient touch required to provide comfort and specialized care for senior pets. When you entrust me with your furry family member, you're choosing a sitter who offers not just reliability, but a genuine, experienced friendship for your pet I have the wonderful luxury of a completely open schedule, which allows me to make pet care my top priority. This means your pet gets my undivided attention, and I can be there for them consistently throughout the day, every day. My approach to in-home pet care is to provide seamless, consistent care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I minimize their stress by keeping them in their familiar environment. If needed to stay in your own home. If they were to come to my home: I have 3 young kids, however if necessary to be away from kids we could do in your home. When pets stay with me, they become part of my family. My home is a safe, loving, and pet-centric environment where they receive constant attention.
About: Growing up I've always loved animals. I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember between watching neighbors/friends pets to having a couple of my own. I have a pretty open availability especially during the weekends. If anything just let me know and I’m willing to try my best to work around your fur babies schedule. I will always treat your fur baby like my own! If it’s nice outside we can spend the day out at the dog park or just going for a good long walk. Otherwise they can join my pets and I on the couch for a lazy day in.

“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.”
“I chose Lexie as my dogs sitter the first time I used Rover. I felt very comfortable with her during our first meeting. I appreciated how she took notes to make sure our baby would be safe in her care. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were out of town. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs. She is fantastic!”
“Aiko did a great job with Brock she was very patient and understanding with him even when he had an accident when he first arrived .I would definitely recommend Aiko and I hope to have her as a sitter again.”
“My dog Angel came back saying how much she loved staying with Debbie and her other dog friends. My dog will be staying there again in the near future. Debbie has a serious organized system of taking care of dogs and I don't know how she does it. A+”
“Wonderful in every single way! They took the best care of my dog, sent me pictures of her every day, and took her on long walks and runs which she loved. Would recommend and will be booking them again!”
“Whitney and Ryan are such a pleasure to work with. They treat your puppy just as you would, like family. I can enjoy my trips so much more when my dog Walle is with them. 15/10 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.”
“Jenny was absolutely LOVELY!! She sent us many pictures throughout the day and informed us on how he was doing. Our pup had a great time with her and her kiddos. She is also extremely responsive. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”
“Such a great experience! Yolanda was attentive to our pets and took lots of pictures for us to see how they were doing during their stay with her. I recommend Yolanda! We had no worries or concerns while she had the pups. That speaks volumes when you leave your fur babies for a week with another person. We would select Yolanda's profile again when we need a sitter. She was great!”
“Aubriana was awesome. She took great care of our dog for the week she had him. Even my kids loved using her because our dog enjoyed his stay. She kept us abreast with pictures of him playing with the other dogs.”
“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.”
“Kira was amazing with my sweet boy Shadow. She was very prompt with her responses and shared photos with me throughout the day. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Martina was a great sitter to Sadé! She gave Sadé plenty of outside time and her kids were great with Sadé as well. She was accommodating and flexible with her schedule. I will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!
“Merrell was wonderful! She took such great care of our boy and kept us updated with lots of pictures. He had a great time with her dog too. Would absolutely book again!”
“Our Louis is a 5-month old yorkiepoo, weighs 6 pounds, and has never stayed with anyone other than family. We were apprehensive about leaving him with non-family for 5 days while we cruised but did not have a choice. We searched Rover, chatted with a few people, found Nontombe and the end result is that we (and apparently Louis) completely adore Nontombe. Nontombe sent us videos and pictures and it was clear to see Louis was right at home with someone who loved on him and played with him. We were also worried about how Louis would get along with the other dogs being cared for but Nontombe outlined her plan to us to introduce Louis and what would happen if the dogs did not get along and the videos and pictures of Louis and the other dogs made us feel even more comfortable. It was also clear to us that Nontombe loves animals and is great with them. We recommend her for the care of your young and older fur babies and personally, we won’t use anyone else.”
“I'd recommend Michael to anyone. We were first time Rover users and a little nervous. He suggested a meet and greet before we committed to the appointment; we accepted and got a great vibe from the start. Our dog is older and has some personality quirks and a little separation anxiety. Michael and his wife were able to easily deal with her and show her a good time, keeping us updated daily with pics and texts. They accommodated Birdie's preferred sleeping arrangements and gave her plenty of opportunity to socialize with people and other dogs in a low stress environment, which was a huge reason we didn't want to send her to a typical kennel/pet spa. Additionally, Birdie had some minor stomach issues while we were out of town and they kept us informed and updated and gave us a reliable opinion on if/when she should be taken to a vet. They watched Birdie for a week and we got her back happy and healthy, and we wouldn't hesitate to send her to them again in the future.”
