“Joy was amazing. I was so nervous to leave my senior dog who is riddled with anxiety. Joy made me feel SO much better with her updates and when I picked up my dog after a week, she was as happy as a 14 year old can be. It's clear she has a passion for caring for animals. 11/10. Thank you, Joy!”
“Dara was the absolute best for my two girls! Our Sunshine has separation anxiety and every picture we received from Dara, our Sunny girl looked to be enjoying every minute of her stay! She was super awesome with our no limit soldier Scout as well. She kept our babies for 5 days and they were wore slam out from their fun stay. You can 100% tell Dara has a heart for animals. Our go-to from now on!!!!”

“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. Also we were very thankful she noticed a hotspot under his armpit and got him well on the way to recovery before we returned. Rufus will definitely be back! 😊”
“Anne did a great job watching my dog Allie. In fact, I forgot to give her medicine for Allie, and she took the time to run to the pharmacy to get it. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jessie had the BEST time at Carrie and Kurt’s, I got updates and videos of all the dogs playing together throughout the day!! We will definitely use them again!!!”

“Angela is a gem!!!! She took excellent care with our special needs dog! Dax requires a lot of medication and special foods because of his PLE disease. She and her family welcomed Dax, he was treated as one of their own. I would highly recommend Angela to care for your fur baby. We plan to schedule with her again when we travel.”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Top tier stay! This was our first time EVER having to drop our Kenzie off and Megan made us feel so comfortable! I checked in constantly and she never made me feel like a bother! She loved on our fur baby just how she is loved on here at home! Megan will definitely be our forever go to person whenever we are in need! We appreciate you so much!”

“Very pleased with the care that James gave my dog! He showed up on time, followed everything I asked, and made the whole experience stress-free. It really put me at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use him again!”
“Ari is super sweet and our guys really liked her. She made sure we didn’t have to worry about them when we couldn’t be home to check in on them. I definitely would recommend Ari for anyone needing their pets looked after!”
“Jie was so patient and kind with our sweet fur babies! Rocky our anxious dog got scared when it thundered and she patiently worked with him to get him out from under our bed. Our home was left clean and our pets were well taken care of! Thank you Jie!”
“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.”
“Annie was awesome! We came home from our trip to happy cats, and the real time updates and pictures while we were gone was very reassuring. This was our first time leaving our fur babies in the care of someone other than family, I would definitely use Annie again”
“Jonathan was the absolute best. Truly. Was extremely reliable, flexible, and caring for my young cat while I was gone. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a kitty sitter!”
“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 have truly been blessed to have found Ariel! She takes such great care of our fur babies any time we are away, especially our boy who needs daily medication. Ariel is truly a blessing 💜”
“Cassy is absolutely amazing—responsible and caring. She took the best care of my baby cat and treated her like her own. I received detailed updates, photos, and messages every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would trust her again!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and volunteered at the humane society while in high school and college. Neighbors and families have relied on me in the past with their kids and pets. I work part time with kids and home by lunchtime for the rest of the day. I workout in the evenings when the sun is going down and pets are welcome to join! I have a caged tennis court in my neighborhood where I play fetch with my puppy. My puppy also loves the company of other dogs.
“Emily is awesome, dependable and responsible!! Our senior cat needed medicine twice a day and Emily made sure he got it!! She took the time to help him deal with a new routine and won him over with her patient and kind demeanor. She notified me when there was something out of the ordinary. She is a real animal lover!! Emily is the first person I will call when we need to be gone in the future!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woodwind
“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 💕”
“Cassy was great with my dog and helped me out tremendously by watching her for the day! Cassy updated me and made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. I will definitely be keeping Cassy in mind when ever I need help again!”
“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!”
“Kashawana is excellent with Attie. Attie can’t wait to get out of the car when she realizes where she is. Kashawana is super accommodating and helped me out on short notice!”
“Tara was great. She was waiting for Pickles at drop off and walked her several times. Frequent updates during the day were greatly appreciated. Waiting at pickup time made going home transition easy. Highly recommend Tara. She anticipates what owners want and delivers. An awesome sitter.”
“Andrea was wonderful with Daisy. We were coming from out of town & did a video chat prior to the stay so we could meet & see the area where Daisy would be. Daisy had a great time playing with Andrea’s dog & she was a very happy pup when we came to pick her up. We would use her again if we are back in the area.”
“This was my first time booking with Ayaka for daycare services and already rebooked. She is responsive and communicative. Pictures and a video were sent to me to see how things went that day. He came home happy and tired. I felt he was safe and taken care of.”
“Joy and her family are absolutely amazing! Our dogs love daycare with them. I am always anxious to leave my dogs but Joy took all those worries away! Our dogs come home happy and tired after daycare. She updates with pictures everyday! Cannot say enough good things about Joy and the care she provides to our babies!!”

About: I've always liked to rescue animals and care for them from a young age. So lots of my family and friends would bring animals to me or trust me to petsit for them. I've not only cared for dogs and cats, but also turtles, toads, and a few birds. I'm currently solely attending classes so I have plenty of availability for your pets to always feel well cared for during their stay with me! I have a fenced patio, luckily there are a few pet friendly parks that surround me. I follow any instructions given for your pet care to a T since no one knows your pet like you do. I have a housemate, but she is just as loving to any animal brought in.
About: I love animals! I grew up with pets and have helped care for them since I was about ten years old. For the past three years I’ve been boarding pets regularly at my home :) I’m a stay at home parent, so I’m home most days all day! Occasionally I take my child to activities but I’m never gone from the house for more than 4 hours. I have a large fenced in backyard and a kid who loves animals too! I have years of experience caring for pets and will treat your pet like they’re my own :)
“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.”
“Beaux LOVES Cam. She’s very good with him. From day one she has been very understanding, and made us feel comfortable leaving Beaux with her. She’s filled in last minute when we needed care. Cam also sends lot of pictures and updates. We definitely will keep booking with her!!”

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!

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: All my life I have had some sort of animal in my home. At one time my family fostered dogs and I loved it! I can’t wait to met all kinds of pets! It fits into my routine because I have time in the mornings or nights to either walk or take care of these animals. It will fit right in! My dogs are never outside unsupervised and I always am watching them to ensure their safely and mine. I take safety very seriously with my animals.
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!
About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, etc.) all my life. I have taken care of many of my friends pets while they have been away. I enjoy caring for animals and will treat them as if they were my own.

About: Animals have always been my heart and soul — from rescuing kittens as a kid to volunteering at local shelters, my love for furry companions knows no bounds! I’m that person who crosses the street just to pet a dog, or even stop traffic to help a turtle cross the road! Someone who always has treats in their pocket, and who believes every tail wag or gentle purr is a little piece of magic. As a lifelong pet parent and experienced sitter, I know just how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your beloved companion. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, cozy snuggles, or long adventurous walks, I treat every pet like my own — with endless affection, patience, and care. From energetic puppies to chill senior cats (and everything in between!), I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. My goal? To make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and completely comfortable while you're away. Let’s chat! I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet! 🐶🐱💕 *I will not be able to have pets in my home at this time because I am renting; however, I would be happy to care for them at your home and get to know their routine so it is as easy as possible for your pet!* My schedule is opening up! I am currently taking courses at Converse University; however, my schedule is lighter now and I have lots of openings! I currently have class for 6 hours on Mondays, 1 hour on Tuesday, and 3 hours on Thursdays. I would be happy to discuss my schedule in detail to provide the most transparency. I also want to note that my rates are set to account for Rover's fees and the drive time to your loved one. I try to keep my rate accessible. Let me know if you have any concerns! I am currently not able to watch your beloved family members in my home. BUT! If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to keep their environment calm, familiar, and stress-free.

About: I’m a really friendly person and my husband and I treat dogs like family. I’ve had dogs my whole life growing up. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 kids so I’m available 7 days a week; the only time I leave the house is to go food shopping so the dogs are rarely left alone. I do request that the dogs are friendly towards kids! I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around and play! We also have 3 goats with their own house and fenced in area. Whether you allow your dogs on your furniture is a preference I’d love to learn, we allow them on our furniture as long as it’s something that they already do at home. I know most dogs are on a potty schedule so in order to maintain that I’d want to know how frequently they’re let out. Above all else they’d be spoiled with love and treated like family! Pups that only receive dog walking would be shown the same kind of love as all the other pups despite the small amount of time! I have two children ages 6 & 3 that I have at home with me and I homeschool them. This is my only source of income, so I’m always available to tend to animals that are entrusted to me! Your furry friends would fed according to their normal feeding schedule. We allow our dogs on the couch and our bed, so if that’s something you allow as well (or don’t allow) let me know so we don’t deviate from what you want for them! If they need to be crated at night let me know.

I am currently home full time so I am always available if you need me for your pet care needs! Even if there might be some time adjustments I will always find a way to take care of your fur babies! In my home they will get tons of walks and play time and have very comfortable spots to nap! I do not currently have a fenced in yard but will hopefully have one soon. In others homes I will do my absolute best to love and care for your fur babies! I will make sure all instructions are followed exactly as written and that they will get all the attention!
About: I have been helping to care of dogs and cats for my family and friends over about 12 years now. About 4 years ago I began to volunteer with local animal shelters and rescues. Through these rescues I have been able to foster, take dogs on "field trips," and socialize so many sweet fur babies! Almost 2 years ago, I adopted my own dog named Arnie, he is a Belgian Malinois and Dobermann mix. I did all training for him when he was 4 months old and have done a ton of research on the breeds. I feel confident in all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels! I also currently live with a cat and have experience with cats as well. I am currently a medical student in Spartanburg and have time prior to class, during lunch, and in the afternoon/evenings to stop by and hang out with your pets! I also have the weekends off and my schedule varies every day with flexibility to meet the needs of your fur babies. I can guarantee I will do my best to meet the needs of you and your pet in the best way possible! My dog is super friendly and is great on leashed walks with other dogs and is great to play off leash in the dog park at my apartment. I also have support at home to be able to leave him with friends while I am at your house to watch your pets and do not need to have him with me at all times!
About: I currently have four dogs: two seven-year-old Cane Corsos, a rescued American Bully (estimated 10+ years old), and an eight-year-old retired Catahoula who, since his retirement, is more interested in my wife and food than anything else. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I’ve also handled canines in professional and official capacities. I often find myself the go-to person for friends and family when they have dog care questions. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, including cats. I will care for your pets like they are my own. As a former police officer and certified firefighter, I bring an added level of safety and attention to every stay. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, but I also ensure your home is secure and small details, such as things others might overlook, are taken care of 110 percent. I can administer medications, handle pets with special needs, and provide a level of care and service above what’s typical, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I can also handle deliveries that require signatures, escort service technicians or other personnel during appointments, and attend to anything else that may arise at your home while you’re away — providing a truly comprehensive level of service. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to focus on providing this high-end, comprehensive care. While my rates are higher than some on this app, they reflect the level of care, attention, and experience I provide — and I’m confident you’ll find the value well worth it. You don’t have to worry about any nightmare scenarios when I am in charge of your pets and home. Message me any time to check my availability. My schedule is very flexible and I likely can accommodate your needs almost anytime. I am quick to respond. Just let me know how I can help you! I can follow any directions that you have for your pets. I have travelled with dogs back and forth across the country. I can feed and walk and play with your pets. I have administered meds as well. I can care for pets an any stage in life. Also check out my about me section to see how I can be a safety multiplier for your pets and home while you are away.
About: I’m an experienced and compassionate pet care professional dedicated to ensuring the health, happiness, and comfort of every animal I care for. Over the past few years, I’ve provided reliable services such as feeding, walking, grooming, and administering medication for dogs, cats, and other small pets. I pride myself on being attentive, patient, and trustworthy — treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine because I currently attend school full time with a flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time during the week to play with, walk, and care for your pups. I love spending time with animals and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I always keep their space clean, provide plenty of fresh water, and give them lots of attention and affection. If I’m caring for pets in their owner’s home, I respect the space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure everything is just as it was when the owner left. My goal is to keep pets happy and stress-free while their family is away.
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 have been walking dogs, caring for cats, and love being around all types of animals. Neighbors of mine have trusted me with their dogs and I've taken care of many cats. I am off for the summer from school. I am a competitive swimmer, but I am available on the hours that I don't have practice! I am willing to love and take care of your pets as if they were mine. I'll be super excited to spend time with your pets!
About: I really enjoy animals so much. I just do not meet a stranger when it comes to dogs and cats. Your home would be my home away from home. Im 49 years old with a 5 year old son. I enjoy teaching him about how wonderful each animal can be. I personally believe if you teach a child to love animals they will grow up to be wonderful people. I do not have a big home but it is ful of love. We treat all animals like they are part of our family. I can not wait to meet you and your family (pets).. This job is a test to see if i can make an income big enough to stay home with my son. . God Bless each and everyone of you.
