“Needed a last minute sitter for Nova and Evelyn was great. Sent me updates and pictures. Nova really enjoyed her stay and was living her little best life. Would definitely recommend!”
“They are wonderful and communicative sitters and my dog was happy during her stay! I received several updates with photos daily and they were responsive to all of my messages. I would absolutely use them again!”
“We’ve used Sally’s dog sitting services a few times now and are ABSOLUTELY thrilled with her care of our Henry! She’s really great about following any instructions you leave with her, she communicates updates/pictures of your pet while in her care and she’s super responsive when you message her via the Rover app. More importantly, our Henry loves her! So thrilled to have found Sally!”
“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”
“Evelyn was great with our girls! She gave them a cozy, comforting home while we were away, and they loved having a big fenced yard to play in. We could tell they were super happy and well taken care of. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly loves dogs!”
“Brennen took such amazing care of our cats! I couldn't have asked for better in any way. She sent pictures daily and communicated so well with us on how they were doing. We will definitely use her services again when we need to travel out of town.”
“Ashley did a great job with my dog. She has 2 other dogs that my dog played with endlessly. We picked her up at 1p and it is 6 p and she has barely moved. Ashley was quick to respond and gave lots of updates! I highly recommend her.”
“As always- Whitney and Ryan were awesome. They’re so patient with Henry and Henry LOVES their dogs and little girl. Ryan deserves a massive shoutout because my dog burrowed himself under their back deck for like 3 hours. Ryan army crawled underneath and spent soooo much time trying to coax my dog out (it was late too, around 1130pm when my dog came out). Can’t say enough good things.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care that Tabitha provided for my furry baby! They were incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly passionate about animals. My dog, Rubble, is always excited to see her, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Tabitha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet. We are repeat clients.”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
“I had a weekend trip planned and my plans for my two dogs fell through. I really am not a fan of traditional boarding and nor are my dogs. I decided to give this app a try since I have heard positive things. I came across Raquel’s profile and so happy that I did. She quickly responded to me and was very flexible and accommodating. She sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay and I swear one of my dogs looked like she was smiling in the picture lol! They were both so happy and comfortable. I could tell they felt safe and were enjoying themselves. And I could tell that Raquel has a genuine love for what she does. As a dog parent, I want my dogs to be in a safe and fun loving environment and that’s what she provided.”
“Our boys were nervous on the 1st day. However, on the 2nd day they began warming up. She made them feel comfortable and at home. We received tons of pics and videos daily. Thanks for taking care of our boys.”
“Finding Maria on Rover was a blessing to me and my son. While we were out of town for Thanksgiving, Flash stayed with Maria. She took excellent care of Flash. And sent pictures every day. I definitely will be a repeat customer. Thank you Maria!”
“I could tell our two cockapoos were treated like family members and weren’t clingy after I brought them home. I loved that Becky kept us updated and took such wonderful care of the kids.”

“Excellent! Angelina texted a photo with each visit, consistently arrived at the requested time each day, and spent time with the cats at each visit. I enthusiastically recommend Angelina for your pet's care!”
“Abby did a great job! Very responsive, responsible, and even did extra tasks for us like checking mail and picking up Christmas ornaments our cat scattered about. lol. Will def use her again.”
“Ashley is a godsend. I know when I’m away, my kitty cats are in great hands. I’m always thrilled when Ashley is available to cat sit for me. She’s the ultimate professional…on the ball and responsive.”
“Katie was wonderful and I would not hesitate to rebook her! She managed to befriend my shy and sassy cat and always sent updates. Easy to get in contact with and trustworthy! I would highly recommend!”
“Samantha has been an amazing cat sitter! She has taken such great care of my two cats while I've been away. She keeps their litter boxes clean, leaves them treats, and always makes sure she actually sees them to confirm they're doing well—even when they're hiding or don't want to be touched. She also sends me pictures and keeps me updated through text, which gives me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”
“Marissa was excellent with our two kittens! She was able to meet us beforehand to get the key, to meet the kittens, and to learn about their needs. The kittens seemed to warm up to her quickly. She played with them and a highlight of the vacation I was on (hence the need for a pet sitter) was the photos and the detailed updates that Marissa would send! She was fantastic and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using her for all your pet needs!”
“This was my second time using Natalie. She communicates very well, keeps the health and wellbeing of my cats in mind. She leaves my apartment as I left it, if not better.”
“Hannah came to my apartment within an hour’s notice! I had to rush into work early and knew my girl would need some extra TLC while I was gone, and Hannah was the perfect fit! She sent videos and updates of my girl. So thankful, would highly recommend!”
About: I'm a proud cat lady and lifelong animal lover who knows pets are family. After having my own pets cared for in ways that didn't meet my expectations, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I'll care for your babies as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I have worked at the local animal shelter, and I have cared for cats at petsense as well. I am currently a Certified Pharmacy Technician and have been with my job for 15 years so I am familiar with medications. I also do not mind watering plants, or tidying while you are away.
“We’ve used Alexis countless times to care for our 3 dogs and cat, and every single time she exceeds our expectations. She watched them again today, and just like always, everything went perfectly. Alexis is incredibly reliable—even when we’ve needed her last-minute, she’s always come through for us. Our pets absolutely love her, and it’s clear she loves them right back. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She gives us total peace of mind, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“Kelsey was so good with our cats. Lollipop is wary of strangers but I think she warmed up to Kelsey after the first day or so. I think our cats are more comfortable in our home when we travel and I felt like they were in good hands during our time away.”
“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!!”
“Highly recommend Yentl for any of your pet care needs! This was my first time using Rover and I really lucked out finding Yentl. Since it was my first time leaving my cat with someone new I was really nervous and she took amazing care of my baby. Thanks again Yen!!!”
“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: I"ve been a dog (all sizes), cat, and reptile momma since I was 13. I am seasoned at giving medications if needed and loving on your fur babies (if they allow it). I recently lost my Sadie, she was almost 13. I'm hoping this will help me fill that void while I process the grief. I will gladly reinforce your training and care routine. I have a lot of flexibility being semi-retired to meet your pet care needs. I can help in a pinch but prefer schedules. I have experience with not just drugs and cats but reptiles as well. In caring for your pet I will do so with the utmost respect and care, not only for your pet but your abode as well.

“From Day 1, Orlena has been a pleasure to book with. My pup is always excited to go to her house. Orlena provides great feedback, and she shares wonderful pictures at the conclusion of each visit.”
“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Daisy is SO KIND, she’s very attentive to your pet and treats them like family. And she’s very willing to work with your schedule. Next time I’m in Columbia I will be using her again, thank you daisy for your kindness, you’re wonderful!”
“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.”
“Brennen provided a great sitting experience for our puppy. She answered all my questions as we are new to rover. She gave us updates all day long and gave our pup all the love.”
“I like that I was able to take a tour, inside and out, of where my girls would be during daycare. The property was kept clean and well maintained. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day. I had an overall very positive experience and would definitely recommend.”
“She is such a wonderful person! We had great communication, and she always kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She sent me pictures and videos every day, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her! 🫶”
“Sebastian and his family were so very kind—and my Jet had a great time with them!! We will definitely call on them for our Rover needs anytime we are visiting Columbia! Thanks for an awesome experience! ❤️”
“Our two pups were SO happy and content to have spent the day with Savannah while I was out of town, I could tell they were well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to let them stay with her again!”
“Easy to communicate with! Qais responded immediately at the last minute for us as we needed a dog sitter for a couple hours while we were passing through. Archer had a great time!”
“I have never used Rover before, but Janece and Matthew put my mind at ease! They did a wonderful job taking care of our two Goldens, including a 4-month-old puppy. Their communication and responsiveness was great, and I enjoyed getting pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely book with Janece and Matthew again!”
“Shannon is wonderful! She sent me pictures and updates on how Mav was doing throughout the day. Maverick had so much fun and was exhausted afterwards. It was only his first time, but I know he can’t wait to go back!”
“Eileen was a very pleasant lady and great with Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her, who had a good time with her dog. The fenced backyard was great for Daisy to roam around. I would recommend Eileen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.”
“I feel so fortunate that found Katheryn to watch Blue while I work in Columbia, South Carolina. She's so sweet with Blue, flexible and reliable, I highly rerecommend her and will use her any time I'm working in the area.”

About: I’ve had various pets all of my life and have been very hands on caring for them. I’ve had everything from horses, dogs and cats, and rabbits and guinea pigs. I also have experience working as a Veterinary technician at our local vet office. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m mostly available throughout the week aside from occasional shifts starting after 4 pm. I live on a small hobby farm, so I have a large fenced property as well as a smaller, more private fenced area. I have friendly dogs of my own. I can easily crate your dog if wanted, bathe and trim nails, and take them for walks or any other requested activities!
About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs/cat/other furry creatures my whole life. I am excited to help care for yours. I have also handled dogs with various behaviors/needs. I currently work full-time as a dietitian at a hospital but am usually pretty free on the weekends and I get off at a decent time so I am able to do an evening walk or drop in on your fur baby in the evening as well if needed! My dog, Axel, is very spoiled as he sleeps in bed with us and he gets daily cuddles. He enjoys going outside so he gets plenty of walks when it is not too hot out but on the minimum, he walks twice a day every day. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and will spoil them as much as you allow me to!
“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”

About: Hi! I love pets! I’ve been a fur mom for the past 10 years to three shih tzu. I loved animals all my life and aside from my own dogs, have also taken care of family dogs. I own my own business and that requires me to work 4 evenings a week but I have mornings and days free to provide services like daily walks and check ins.

I will give regular updates, with a peace of mind. While treating your home with the same care and respect as o do your pets maintaining cleanliness and security. Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is essential to ensure the health and happiness of my furry friends. we take morning walks. I provide fresh food and clean water at these times. We take evening walks or Playtime. I clean their bedding, litter box, or cages. We also take time out to buy pet supplies such as food, treats, and hygiene products. Remove hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. Secure Boundaries: I make sure the yard is securely fenced to prevent. For consistency, I like to stick to the pet's usual routines, including feeding schedules and exercise patterns. This consistency helps build trust. Daily logs of the pet's activities, are kept, including feeding, bathroom breaks, and any unusual behavior. I will share photos or videos with the pet owner to provide reassurance and maintain trust. Prioritize their safety, build trust through care and attention, and create a comfortable environment, and you'll provide exceptional pet care services.
