“As a nervous and over protective dog mama.. I was very worried about leaving out two dogs with anyone! Nicole was so so sweet to send all the pictures, play with them, give them love and keep me updated on how the dogs seemed to be feeling each day. My dogs loved her and I am so happy I found Nicole! 🤍 Definitely will be booking again!”
“Nontombe made me feel so wonderful about being able to leave my pet in her care! She was wonderful, took several pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. I’ll definitely rebook with Nontombe :)”
“Somiya was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of my dog. She sent photos every day, always showed up on time and made everything so simple. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Sydney was wonderful with Bella! She was very patient when Bella was shy hiding under the bed. She played with her, gave her treats and sent me daily pictures of her. I will definitely use Sydney again. I highly recommend her.”
About: I currently have 2 kittens and i had a dog for about 10 years so i love all kinds of animals and have experience with both cats and dogs :) I work full time, mostly early morning shifts so i’d be able to stop by and spend the night and make sure they’re taken care of. I am usually off Thursdays and Sundays and would be able to do more on those days. I will do whatever my client wishes, since i am not able to house any animals in my house; I will follow the rules for your particular household.
“Kristin did a fantastic job taking care of my dogs while I was traveling for work. I was a little nervous at first since they’re both large and can be strong on the leash, but she handled them great and even helped my lab improve his leash walking. I had total peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was stellar! I had a somewhat last minute request and she was able to fit me into her schedule and still found time to do a meet and great. Her visit cards were thorough and thoughtful. I would definitely rebook.”
About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

“We came to Greenville to watch a concert and parked our camper at Paris Mountain SP. I have never used Rover until now. We selected Kate to stop by our camper to walk our dog Bentley. I scheduled two visits so we could meet her and let her meet Bentley and give her access to the camper. Kate was very nice. We have been communicating for months and she new exactly what we needed. She kept us updated and was flexible with the times since we arrived late. She sent us several pictures and locked up everything. If you are in Greenville I would recommend Kate anytime. Thanks Kate!!! Chuck”
About: Hi! I’m Vanessa! I’m a college student studying Education with a lifelong love for animals. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets—from dogs and cats to bunnies and more—which helped me develop a deep understanding of and appreciation for animals of all kinds. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My own fur baby means the world to me, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I believe that building strong relationships with animals is essential, and I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, needs, and cues. I’m comfortable administering medication, recognizing pet behaviors and signals, and ensuring each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs playtime, long walks, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to providing a fun, loving, and stress-free experience. I’m primarily available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate extra time for longer walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Throughout the week, I’m also available for drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a cozy check-in, or someone to maintain their routine while you're away, I’m happy to provide personalized care tailored to their needs.🐾💕 As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. I also work a part-time job with short shifts during the day, which still gives me plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m most available on weekends for longer walks, extended visits, and extra one-on-one attention. During the week, I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I truly enjoy. 🐾 The safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. I am attentive to pets’ body language and cues, allowing me to understand when they want to play, rest, exercise, or simply receive extra attention. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing individualized care to ensure each pet feels safe and well cared for. I believe pets thrive with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, so I make sure they receive lots of playtime, walks, and one-on-one attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I will treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while also treating your home responsibly and with care.

West Columbia cat parents share their Rover experiences
My now-husband and I had to go out of town to get married and this was the first time that we had to rely on someone that we weren't close with to watch our kitties. It was imperative that we found someone that would make an effort to get them to warm up to them and that's exactly what Emma did. She was very communicative, always gave our kitties treats and really made an effort with them. It paid off, because even though they were super shy at the beginning of her time with them and hiding in closets, by her last drop in, they were coming out and allowing for her to pet them. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and really put us at ease. We will be using her again in the future!! 10/10!!
We needed a last minute sitter for our cat for a long weekend away. We were so happy Shannon was available to spend time with him and flexible around our travel plans. She was an excellent communicator and kept us up to date on her visits despite some tech issues with the Rover app. We so appreciated her notes and photos and loved hearing/seeing how much our cat enjoyed her attention!
Julia was an excellent cat sitter. She communicated clearly throughout the entire process, responded quickly to messages, and always showed up right on time. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of Bill and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.
Courtney did a fantastic job caring for Bill. She demonstrated genuine care and attention, kept me consistently updated, and ensured clear communication throughout. It’s clear she treats pets as if they were her own. I’d highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate sitter.
Rybecca was a fantastic caregiver for our pets! Our three cats and elderly pup connected with her right away and were all looking great when I returned after a week away. I appreciate Rybecca's dependability and thorough communication about what was going on with the animals. I would definitely recommend her!
