About: Hey y'all! My name is Hunter and I used to run a pet care business with my mom for about 4 or 5 years called Paws & Purrs. We continued to take on a few clients for a few more years after she closed Paws & Purrs to pursue her furniture business further! I helped to take care of and walk a variety of different dogs; Great Danes, mastiffs, pitbulls, shitzus, corgis, labs, and a whole ton more! I have ample experience in walking, sitting, feeding and much more animal care knowledge. I can't wait to meet all of your furry friends! I work full time as a medical receptionist, so I'll be walking and meeting your furry friends in my down time. My schedule is as follows for availability: Monday Wednesday and Friday after 4:00 pm Tuesday and Thursday after 6:00 pm Saturday and Sunday all day I've walked dogs of all sizes for about 8 1/2 years. I create a pet-friendly environment, removing hazards and providing cozy spots for rest. I maintain their regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to minimize stress and keep them feeling secure. For active breeds, I ensure they get plenty of physical activity through walks, runs, or playtime in a secure area. I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages, providing peace of mind while they’re away. I maintain a clean environment, regularly picking up after pets and ensuring their living area is tidy. By focusing on these aspects, I ensure a positive and nurturing experience for pets in my care.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life — from small breeds to big, energetic ones — and I’ve taken care of all kinds along the way. Small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, I’ve handled the different needs each size brings, whether that’s extra exercise for a high-energy breed or gentler handling for a smaller one. That hands-on experience means I know how to adjust my approach depending on your dog’s size, temperament, and needs. Your pet will get the same attention and care I’ve given my own dogs for years. I work fully remote, which means I’m home most days and can step away anytime to let dogs out, feed them, or just check in. If needed, I’m happy to bring my laptop and work from your home so your pets have company throughout the day instead of being alone for long stretches. After 5pm and on weekends, I’m completely flexible and can give your pets as much attention and playtime as they need. Whether I’m in your home or mine, safety and routine come first. I currently live in an apartment right next to three dog parks, all within easy walking distance, so dogs get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and socialization if that’s something they enjoy. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions you give me, so there’s as little disruption to their day as possible. I treat every home I’m in with the same care and respect as my own, and I’m always reachable if you need an update.
About: I am a full time nurse who adores animals. I’m dependable, attentive, and experienced with puppies and senior pets. I provide care, medication support, exercise, enrichment, and personalized attention to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m a nurse who works three days a week, giving me plenty of free time on my days off to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve! I provide loving, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routine. I will always follow whatever directions the owner wishes to ensure their pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Tori is awesome! She is communicative, timely, and kind. My lab Annie loved her and seemed very at ease even during her first meeting. I’ll be utilizing her as a sitter again and recommend you do the same!”
About: I have spent my life loving and caring for animals of all sizes and types; dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and even some fish. I grew up with animals and have carried on the tradition of raising my own children amongst their "furry siblings". Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to help feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets over the years. I have a patient and loving home where are pets are a part of the family and that includes "guest pets" during their stay. I strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with us. We have two dogs in the house, a terrier mix (10 pounds) and a cocker (30 pounds). I am a therapist and I'm typically in and out of the house most days from 8-5, coming home often for an hour or two at a time. My husband comes home most days for lunch. Additionally, I have two teenage children that are home most of the day during the summer or at least one of them is typically home at any given time cuddling with the dogs on the couch or in their rooms. We typically take the dogs for their walk after work each day. I have a fenced yard with room to run around. The fence gaps are small enough o keep our 10 lb terrier from escaping and is 5' high. We also have a doggie door to allow our dogs and our guests access to yard time and potty breaks throughout the day. Our dogs are family so they do sleep with us and are allowed on the couch. We have a walking path behind our house and through the neighborhood that allows us to take walks, typically in the evening. Our dogs are well socialized and have been exposed to having other dogs stay with us and staying with other dogs outside the home. They are playful and friendly. We have never had any incident with them in the 10 years we've had our terrier and 3 years we've had out spaniel. We tend to walk the dogs after work every day and feed them once in the morning and once in the evening. The house is dog friendly with nothing they can hurt themselves on.
About: I grew up with three dogs and have always loved caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I am currently working from home and have 24/7 availability! Message me with any questions, however my schedule is completely free at this time ! I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special instructions. I’m respectful of your home and prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Whitney was INCREDIBLE to work with and the perfect person to watch our 2 pups! She was avail with short notice, great communication and instantly made us feel confident that we found the best of the best. She treated our boys as if they were her own so we knew they were well taken care of while we were out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, puppies, and cats. I grew up around dogs and am comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities. Reliable, attentive, and happy to help keep your pet comfortable and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I work from home Monday through Friday, 8-5pm. I have a lot of flexibility to go for walks and take care of your animals throughout the day! I live alone, pet free in a community that has a lot of green space for quick bathroom breaks and in a very walkable neighborhood! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’m committed to treating every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I will take time to learn your pets routine and will follow all care instructions!
About: I am recently separated from active duty in the Air Force, and looking for ways to help out the community during my transition. I have day to day experience with our needy cat, and experience when I was younger and our family owned dogs! I do not have any training experience, but I do have a 1 year old daughter, so I am patient and willing to learn and assist! During my time in the military, I learned skills of task management and attention to detail, so I will follow instructions diligently! I am transitioning into the reserves but currently have a lot of free time so I am very flexible until I start my full time job later this winter. For care in the clients home, I will follow any instructions. I am also very active, so if you have an active dog, I would be able to go for runs with them or take them to dog parks if requested.
“Brooke was amazing and took such great care of Milo! Communication was super easy, and she sent me regular updates throughout the stay. She was also very respectful of my home and left my place spotless. I definitely recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I’ve had family pets and worked on many farms throughout my life. I’m an avid animal lover and will make sure that your pet is not only physically taken care of, but emotionally as well. Lots of love and cuddles from me! I am a full-time remote worker living in Mount Pleasant. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can change things around as needed. I have meetings throughout the day but have lots of breaks where I can come do a quick feed or walk, or I can have your pet at my home with me during the day. I am also willing to work from your home if needed. I have my own home, with no pets and a quiet neighborhood where I can do daily walks. I work remotely so I can give more attention to your pet throughout the day. I have my own car and can transport myself/your pet to and from anywhere that’s needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wando
Alina was great!! Our original sitter moved, and we turned to rover for a weekend trip. Her communication was excellent from the start. I received so many pictures and updates, and didn’t worry once about my pups or the house. She was very trustworthy and respectful of our house. Will absolutely be booking her again next time we are in need.
We appreciate Laurie taking care of Beau and Izzy, especially during Christmas week. She kept us informed throughout the week and the pups seemed happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. I appreciate being able to have someone stay with the pups in our home where they feel safe and comfortable. Laurie did a great job. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pup-sitting needs. 😊

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wando walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wando maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wando choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
