“I hired Holly for drop in visits to inject insulin on my diabetic dog. She was very professional and punctual. He didn’t even feel the poke. I will definitely hire Holly again to care for my pets.”

About: I’ve had experience with many animals of different species for many years and can take care of all needs. I was a dog trainer and certified in dog and small animal wellness. I am currently a pet care specialist and do all that I can for all and their pets. I also have a degree in environmental science and pet wellness. I also like to applaud myself for customer service skills and being personable with everyone I meet. I will talk to you like I’ve known you forever and I strive to be someone those can be comfortable around. 😊 As a pet care specialist and pet owner myself, my schedule ranges from 8-9 am for spot cleaning and feeding, then around 12 I do pet checks, and around 5-6 is when I do final checks. For dogs, it follows the same structure with added enrichment and outside time in between. I have one dog and one puppy who spend time mostly outside and come in for breaks and food/snacks. I have a cat who eats twice a day and will occasionally be put in his stroller to go outside and enjoy the fresh air lol. And I have 2 guinea pigs who eat twice a day and will come out of their cage for enrichment and play time.

About: From a young age I loved being around animals, I started out helping my mom since she is a wildlife rehabilitation rescuer. I worked as a Veterinary Technician with small and large animal, and have been working as a receptionist in Veterinary Clinics for 7 years now. Animals bring a happiness to me that is indescribable and if you hire me as your pet sitter I promise that your fur babies will become a part of my family! I will treat them as my own, if you’d like to book please let me know. I like to do meet and greets before I do the job to meet your fur babies, you, and make sure that I have an understanding of the routine to best take care of them while your away! I am currently not working so I am doing pet sitting full time, I can pretty much do any date or time. Just let me know what works best for you. For pet sitting, I would do so in the comfort of your own home and where your pet feels the safest. I do not have a fenced in yard, so to make sure that the pet care is safe I feel it is best to provide it in your home.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old while living with my parents, including feeding, playing, and helping with daily care. In the past few months, I have also been taking care of my own cat, Zeno, which has given me consistent hands-on experience with feeding schedules, attention, and daily pet needs. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm available to provide reliable cat care throughout the week. I can work with your cat's regular feeding and care routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I'll communicate with you during each visit and do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. Your cat's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, keep litter boxes clean, and make sure doors and windows remain secure. I respect your home, keep your cat's routine as consistent as possible, and provide a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe and cared for while you're away.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for animals. While this is my first year on Rover, I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands. Im currently working on an online business where all I need is wifi and my laptop. Im also a college student looking to make some extra cash to pay off tuition. Both of these things I can do online anytime which leaves me for plenty downtime and study breaks I can spend with my furry friends! I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and have a safe and comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was born! Love animals and always have. If I could have any dog in the world it would be a Saint Bernard. They are just so big and huge, but for now I have a cute little mutt who is 13 and still energetic and healthy! I’ve had dogs jump on me, so I can handle big dogs. I’m currently working part-time at church and looking for full time ministry! In the meantime ~ I wanted to earn some extra money, to help with student loans and food. Rover has been recommended to me and I can’t wait to join in all the pet sitting fun!! I have a fenced yard that is a pretty good size for running around! My house is a little small inside, but it’s like a cute cottage. We keep our air conditioning cool and there’s comfortable spots for your pet to lay/sit on! We keep our house clean and picked up. So there nothing really for your pet to get into!!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 25 years and used to have two Yorkies and a Maltipoo — they were my babies! I naturally connect with dogs and treat every one as family. Friends often call me their dogs’ favorite pet grandma because I spoil them with love, gentle cuddles, and lots of attention. I create a calm, safe, and happy space where each pup feels understood, cared for, and truly at home. I recently moved from Ukraine to be closer to my kids and grandkids. I’m available throughout the whole week and have a very flexible schedule. Caring for dogs brings me joy, so I’m happy to spend quality time with your furry friends whenever you need — weekdays or weekends.h I have open front and back yards where I can safely walk your furry babies or take them for a relaxing stroll to the closest park. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like they’re part of my own family.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years through pet sitting as well as caring for my own dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large breeds. I understand how important routines, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of attention are when their owner is away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m also active and enjoy walks and playtime, so higher-energy dogs are always welcome! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already have two dogs of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and can accommodate different routines depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also comfortable with crates when needed and can keep pets separated when appropriate. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I have a fenced back yard as well

About: I have experience with animals since I could walk. In my personal life I would best describe my passion as a certified collector of strays (cats , dogs, birds and insects . The list is very long :) . In my professional experience I’m very exposed to the knowledge and unique design in caring for animals . STORY TIME : * ****I met a pit bull ****At the age of 17 I went to one of my first parties with my friend ( I was still very shy and reserved, but was looking to dismantle my comfort zone ). I had a bad time and unfortunately I was followed walking on my route and hoped to just make it back home in the same pieces that I came with lol . Anyways I approached a dark neighborhood on my path and only two streetlights worked and sarcastically I was excited to be walking under one the moment I locked eyes with THEE most Beautiful & intimidating Pit Bull I’d ever been blessed with eyes to see and a body to run that couldn’t move and was actually not breathing to well either 😅So I did what any rational human would in this situation and called her and told her to come here “sweetie” and she Bolted towards me … arms out stretched shaking in my wee lil boots I prayed lol and she jumped up on my shoulder and licked my face and I was at awe 🥹. She walked me home (2miles) and we actually got stopped by a couple who told me I have a beautiful dog and I explained she wasn’t mine and asked if they wanted to try and keep her but she never left my side . I’ve never felt so safe and happy all at once at 12 midnight imagine what love can do !!! I lived in that same area for three extra years and never seen her again . The End My professional experience consists of working side by side as an acting vet assistant where I learned to chip dogs , feed them medicine, clean kennels, walk them and feed them their food . I also worked as a canine coach where I oversaw 1-28 dogs at a time play with them talk to them prevent them from being in danger making it the best environment possible . I aspire to build my abundance in what I love and that’s more love the definition manifested in all creations especially ones with big beautiful baby eyes and youthful hearts Animals :) Hi I’m Ta Manda and I’m your PETS NEW BESTIE🦄❤️🎁!! ( so cheesy and I love it lol) I am currently invested in becoming independent, I am open to gaining more experience so other than Uber I’m all yours ❤️ please just reach out :) I love forming lasting bonds with the pets I care for and would be thrilled to stay connected and visit them even after my services are complete. I believe that doctor dolittle was inspired by Myself so honestly I do have conversations with them down to moths I believe they are listening and if you’re still enough you can tell they understand you .

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Columbia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Columbia is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 707 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Columbia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Columbia. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
