“got her eye medication, had plenty of playtime outside, and was happy and comfortable the whole time. I loved getting daily photos and videos — it gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!”


“Stella did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and we highly recommend you book with her! We recently went out of town and booked Stella to watch our dogs while we were away. She went above and beyond! She was able to handle our two huge dogs perfectly fine with no problem at all. She sent us picture updates each day while we were away, and even followed all of our very detailed instructions we left for our dogs. If you need someone who will do a great job, we highly recommend you book with Stella!”

“Katie was attentive and handled everything Keto had to throw at her, we had her watch keto at our wedding and roam about during cocktail hour with Keto in a little suit, I heard he was adorable, would definitely book her again for events or just to watch our little guy, thanks for coming🙂”

“This is the 3rd time Michele has stayed with Wally and she is consistently the best sitter we’ve ever had. Wally is always happy to see her and well loved while we are gone. The house is exactly as we left it and Michele keeps us updated with pictures. Michele is the best!!”

“Sarah was phenomenal! I really appreciated how communicative she was, she took great care of my house, and she loved/cared for our dogs like they were her own. Would absolutely book again! Thanks Sarah!”

“Caroline was fabulous with our fur family. She took very good care of Maverick and Goose. Even when Maverick caused some mayhem, Caroline handled it like a pro. Thank you so much Caroline for your gracious care and big heart!”

“Samuel was the best! He took such good care of my babies. He was respectful, neat and took time to get to know each of them. No doubt I will be reaching out to him again in the future. Probably within the month I totally trust him with my babies. I know you’ll love him too.”

“Cate was fantastic! This was my first time using her and won’t be my last! She was very responsive and sent lots of updates. Most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when I got home! Highly recommend Cate!”

“Emily is fantastic! She was so wonderful with my two rambunctious pups and provided regular updates. Left my house in great condition. Would absolutely recommend her to for anyone looking for a pet sitter :)”

“We were staying at Carolina Beach with our dogs, one of which has major separation anxiety especially when traveling. Lena quickly won both dogs over and kept them occupied while my husband and I could get out for a few hours. Will definitely contact her again when back in area.”

“Andrew was a great sitter to our dog, Bear! We were uneasy leaving him at his ripe old age, and we immediately felt comfortable with the level of care he was getting. We got updates, pics, and Andrew was great at communicating with us. We will definitely being using this super host again, thank you, Andrew!”

“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She took them on several walks despite the Columbia heat in July. I could tell they were well loved from the pictures she sent while we were away. She also was very helpful with a water issue we had at the house while we were gone. Definitely would use her in the future!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Sophia! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away! We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book again!”

“Wow! What a great find!! kelly was amazing from beginning to end. As someone who has never used Rover before, I was a bit nervous for my first time. But she walked me through everything, did a meet and greet with the animals before confirming, and was in regular communication throughout my time away. On top of that, my animals absolutely loved her! They were very well taken care of and seemed much happier than compared to a stay at the vet or boarding facility. I can’t wait to use her again next time!! Great care. Great advice on Rover. And definite lover of animals if she can handle my crew! (2 dogs, parrot, and ferret) Thanks again Kelly!”

“Ruth is fantastic. She's super responsive and responsible. She stayed at the house with our dogs (2) and we were much relieved that she was present and available to feed, walk, and talk to the dogs. Highly recommend her to others.”

“I highly recommend Alex and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Her communication is excellent, and she keeps you updated on your fur baby by sending pictures and videos, which truly helped me while being away from my Emma. I genuinely felt she cared for my pet as if she were her own, and I greatly appreciate that.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we’re a bit hesitant to give it a try. We found Kelsey who had great reviews and upon meeting her in person, felt comfortable to move forward with booking her for a 5 night stay in our home watching our golden retriever. Kelsey was fantastic! She did an amazing job keeping an eye on our home but must importantly, taking care of our dog. She provided daily updates and her communication was always prompt. Highly recommend Kelsey and we will definitely be using her again!”

“Kennedy was fantastic! This was our first time using rover and we were nervous but having Kennedy look after our 2 dogs completely put my mind at ease! She was very communicative and responsive throughout our trip and our house was perfectly neat when we returned home! Will definitely have her sit for us again!”

Katie took such great care of our Bobo! He’s an anxious boy and she brought him so much comfort while we were away for the weekend. It was our first time using Rover and she updated us daily with photos, which really helped calm our nerves. Thank you, Katie for being so great with our big hunk!

Isabella exceeded all of our expectations. She took the job seriously, followed all of our instructions and best of all, our two shih tzus absolutely loved her! She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were well taken care of. We received daily texts which kept out mind at ease. I highly recommend her!
