“Jada took fantastic care of my dogs when I was gone for the holidays! She was very responsive, and was even able to step in for extra visits when we had a sitter emergency. From the pictures she sent, I could tell my dogs were getting lots of cuddles during her visits. I would definitely recommend booking Jada for your pets!”
“Appreciated the help checking in on our pups with a last-minute booking! Isaiah was patient and understanding with us and our anxious pups while we navigated this first time Rover experience.”
“Jade was so great! She was so accommodating with a last minute request and definitely made me feel at ease being away from my two pups for a few nights with her drop-ins. She always sent through great pics and updates about the dogs. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals of all sizes! My family had dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, chickens, and turtles. We've had dogs ranging from 6lb Chihuahuas to 140lb lab mixes, so I truly love all sizes of dogs! I also have experience with dogs with mobility disabilites, until recently I had a schnauzer that had extreme hip dysplasia and incontinence. Growing up I regularly pet sat for my neighbor who had 24 cats, each with specific areas they needed to stay in and some needing medication. So I'm familiar with taking care of many animals at once that may have specific diet and instructions. Whether it's a drop in or I'm actively staying in your home, I want your fur baby to feel comfortable and like they have my undivided attention and love in your absence. I pet sit every pet as I would want someone to watch mine 💜 I'm currently working full time, 8-5, but I work from home and am free to house sit any day of the week. Also, I'm free to stop in for potty breaks on weekends if you're just taking a day trip out or don't feel comfortable with someone actively staying in your home. I treat and love all pets as if they're my own. When pet sitting I will stick to any schedule and rules you may already have set in place, and will accommodate to whatever's your pets energy level and needs may be.
“Karina was fantastic with my cats! One of them is very shy and usually takes a very long time to open up to people but she made an exception for Karina! Big thank you and a huge recommendation to anyone else who needs their furry friends taken care of!”
“Deborah was great with our dogs! She has such a kind, calm demeanor and connected right away with our dogs. She was punctual, sent lots of pictures, & provided thorough updates. I would definitely recommend her and we will be booking with her again!”
About: I’m an avid animal lover and enjoy spending time with animals. I’ve house sat and managed the care of others pets for over 20 years. I care for animals and your home they way I want my animals and home cared for. I work remote and have flexibility in my day-to-day schedule. This makes it easy for me to stay at home with your animals or pop in for a quick walk. I follow medical and feeding instructions to the letter. I work to ensure a safe environment for the pets at all times and leave your home as I found it.
“Hannah is awesome. This may be the third or fourth time she has watched our pets. She does a great job of being on time and communicating everything that is going on. We highly appreciate her rover cards giving clear details of the visit and the care of our pets. She is great! Will definitely rebook again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up with pets and have personally raised four dogs from puppies into adulthood, along with caring for a cat of my own. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for bunnies, birds, and even pigs. Friends and family regularly trust me to watch, feed, walk, and care for their pets while they’re away, so I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I always treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Right now, I’m only taking summer classes from 10 AM–1 PM during weekdays, which gives me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and quality care. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week and can provide pets with lots of attention and companionship. My weekend availability may vary, but I always keep my schedule updated and communicate clearly about availability. I currently provide pet care in clients’ homes only, as I live in an apartment and have dogs of my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs each pet may have. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and home, and I always treat both with respect and care.

West Columbia dog parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline has been great with our puppy! We have used her regularly the past couple of weeks on days my husband and I both work. She has been reliable and consistent, sends us photos and takes time to engage in playtime. She responds quickly to our messages and has been flexible with bookings. We would definitely recommend her!
Brynlee did a great job! Our dog can be very shy and worried of new people, but he seemed comfortable with her from their first visit and quickly warmed up at each additional. She was punctual and spent the proper time with him each day, and sent pictures of our pup, which I love! She was even able to add an extra session day, due to my travel plans changing unexpectedly. I would definitely feel comfortable to book Brynlee again for drop-in visits!
Shannon was very communicative and detailed throughout each visit. She was very timely to each visit and if for any reason she was running late, she reached out to inform me. She kept me updated throughly and we felt more comfortable knowing exactly what our dogs were doing through her communication which allowed us to relax and enjoy our getaway trip. She will definitely be our first pick when we have our next trip. Thank you again Shannon 💞
Madison was absolutely amazing with our dog, Sedona! She was so gentle, kind, and communicative, which made us feel completely at ease. Sedona took to her immediately and clearly loved her. It’s such a relief finding someone you can truly trust with your pet. We loved Madison and will 10000% be booking with her again whenever we need care for Sedona! 🐾
I've done a couple drop in visits with Maddie and she is outstanding with my dogs! One of the little guys has a mean streak but she is doing great with him and he's doing good with her. I have some trips planned in the future and as long as she is available I plan to continue booking Maddie!
Jill is amazing!! She checked in on Gus for us twice during the day and he loved her so much! She updated us in a timely manner and was great at communicating. We loved seeing his report cards and knowing our dog was being well cared for. We highly recommend Jill and would book with her again!
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!
AIKO IS WONDERFUL!!! Aiko went above and beyond our expectations. She is professional and thorough. She did a great job taking care of our furry family members. She also stepped up and did additional work when others did not fulfill their work obligations with watering plants and taking care of other outdoor chores. She was great with communicating with us while we vacationed. Peace of mind is priceless when you are away from home and Aiko delivered. We look forward to hiring Aiko again in the future and hope she will continue to work with us. There is a reason Aiko has so many repeat customers. She is a gem. Thank you Aiko for taking such good care of Franklin and Piper.
