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!

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
