About: Hi there! I'm Delaney. Over the past year, I have fostered 2 dogs and 6 cats! Each foster was a new learning experience, gaining insight into animals boundaries and needs! Often having sick or injured rescue fosters, I have experience with giving topicals and oral medications. I have always had dogs, dealing with puppies up until elderly care. For many years I have been a sitter for my neighbors 2 cats and one dog. It has become a passion to help and take care of dogs and cats, and I hope to be everything you need for a pet sitting experience! I will be heading back to Columbia SC on August 16th and won’t be in Annapolis for pet sitting anymore! I am available all summer long, the only time I am unavailable is 9am to 12pm Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, while I am taking an EMT class at AACC! I usually wake up early, so I’ll be available before and after this class!! I am very active, love to take long walks or runs. I am very open to following pet owners lead. Often staying in their own home is often better for a pets routine to reduce stress. I am available to give pets company during daytime, and if needed overnight. I know how stressful being away from your pet is, and sending updates is crucial!! I am very communicative, respectful, and clean.

“Margeaux is always on time, reliable, and takes such great care of our Golden Retriever, Chewie! We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. We’re so grateful for everything she does and highly recommend her!”

“Nicole is dependable and would definitely use her again. She helped let me know that my dog was having urinary issues too so I could make a vet appointment for the next day and avoid an emergency vet”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, giving me 33 years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I recently worked in the pet care industry, which gave me even more insight into providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I personally own a German Shepherd that I trained myself, so I’m confident in handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior pets who need extra love and gentle attention. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they’re my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday routine! I recently moved to Columbia and have the flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and consistency they need—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or longer stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, so dogs enjoy plenty of daily walks and outdoor time. I have a crate of my own if needed for your pet. My own pets are very friendly and social, so visiting animals will always feel welcomed and comfortable. I keep routines consistent, making sure every pet feels at home with lots of love, attention, and playtime. In Your Home: I care for pets just as you would—keeping their routine, environment, and comfort a top priority. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I've lived on a farm my entire life. I have experience with all animals, from indoor ragdolls to barn tabbies, chihuahuas to great danes, puppies and elderly pets, and even cows and chickens! I have taken care of pets with medicine routines, puppies who need daily training, and cats who just need some company. :) I am a PhD student, so I have classes in the mornings and evenings! I can typically get home around every 5 hours to take the dogs out, but if you have a puppy that needs to go out sooner, let me know and we can discuss what's possible! If you're boarding, I have a huge fenced in backyard and I always stay in the yard to watch over playtime and potty breaks. I can crate your dog or puppy in our spare bedroom if you'd like, but my dog roams free around the house and I'm happy to let them play while I'm gone! I have a small 2 bedroom, 1 story house, so it's easy to keep an eye on the pups while I'm home.

“Gracie was a phenomenal sitter! Gracie was a pleasure to work with. She was great with communicating and reliable. She did such an excellent job taking care of my Dasher that I am hoping to get her again for the future.”

Tyler S.

“This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!”

About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!

About: I have just retired from animal health after 32 years. My love for animals started when I was a child and grew as the years went on. We always had furry friends in the house growing up which let me to my first job in a veterinary clinic many years ago. It was that love that led me to veterinary sales for the past 30 years. Now that I have stepped away from the corporate world I am ready to help you with any needs you may have for your furry friends. Please reach out if you would like to set up a meet and greet! I look forward to hearing from you! Living the retired life right now so I am pretty much free. The only thing I can’t do right now is overnight stays as I have e 2 dogs of my own. I am happy to feed, medicate, walk or just spend quality time with your furry family members. I can also take them to doggy parks or vet visits if needed.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 4 years and have experience caring for pets with special medical needs. My own dog has separation anxiety, depression, and receives injections at home, so I’m comfortable with extra care and medication. I’ve also cared for my cousin’s dog with epilepsy, including administering medication and staying calm during seizures. I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality and treat each one like they’re my own. I’m a student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’d love to start by offering dog walks and drop-in visits, and I’m also happy to provide pet sitting as needed. I always do my best to work around each family’s schedule and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have reliable transportation throughout Columbia, pay close attention to routines and instructions, and always provide a calm, caring environment. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“I could not recommend Nichole more highly! She took extra time with Penny and did all her favorite play things around the neighborhood. It included so much more than just walking around the block. And she gives the best notes. But best of all is that Penny loves her ❤️”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for multiple families over the past 8 years, providing reliable care through drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I grew up with dogs of my own, gaining hands-on experience in everything from potty training puppies to caring for senior dogs. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I’m currently finishing up grad school and have full availability for bookings throughout April. Starting in May, I’ll be available Friday evenings and weekends outside of my clinical hours. I honor each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was in middle school and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a full-time student at USC, so I typically only have about two in-person classes each day. Outside of school and my social life, I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pet the care, attention, and love they deserve! I live in a pet-free apartment, so I’m unable to have pets stay overnight at my home. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and can follow any safety instructions or routines you provide.

“Shanavia made me feel so safe and comfortable. My dog is a little crazy but she was so patient and took the time to understand my dog and train her. She has become my go to walker!”
