Claire did an amazing job sitting with Grace! She kept in touch with us and sent pics. We had some issues with our trip and she was very flexible with changing the times/days as we needed her to. She even checked in to make sure that we made it home so Grace was cared for. She stayed in our home and you couldn't even tell she had been here. Would highly recommend Claire!

Bailey was incredibly sweet and caring with my cat. She sent photos and updates every time she visited, letting me know exactly what she did and when she would be back. While I was away, my cat developed eye issues, and Bailey was able to administer eye drops and care for her with no problems. Her communication and attentiveness gave me so much peace of mind while being far from home. I would absolutely trust her with my cat again.

Cate is fantastic! She stayed at my home and took great care of my senior dog who has separation anxiety and my 2 cats for a week. Cate asked a lot of questions about their routines, texted daily updates and also reached out if she had additional questions. My house was also immaculate when I returned. I will absolutely contact Cate again!

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.

Katie was fantastic!!! She was great with our dog Brady and he just loved her! She took him on walks every day and kept us updated (with pictures) while we were on our vacation... She looked after things at the house and left it as if she'd never been here! We've been home for a day now and Brady keeps looking for her to come back... We would recommend Katie highly to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter, or both... We will definitely plan to use her again and I'm sure that Brady can't wait!! 5 stars and A+++

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!

About: My love for dogs started at the age of 5 when my lab taught me what a best friend was. Ever since I have loved to play, walk and spend time with dogs. I always will be the first to offer to help with care or open my home for another dog. Ive had my own good boy for about 7 years, we’ve been through it all and he has made me very experienced in dog care. I do have a full time job but I only work Night shifts. I am very available during the day to spend time or walk you pup! Most weekends I can be available all day For walks and visits your dog’s safety is the number one priority. I will insure to keep an eye on him/her at all times and any directions or restrictions you have for you pet will be followed.

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!

Lyndi was great! She kept us up to date with photos and reassuring texts throughout our time away. My older dog can be very anxious and shy and he warmed right up to her! We were so please with our experience with Rover and so thankful to have found such a kind, caring, and reliable pet sitter in Lyndi. We will 100% use her again and have actually already booked!

Oh my goodness, Michele is fabulous! She was incredibly kind and patient with my sweet 10 year old mastiff. No other dog sitter has ever made him feel so safe and comfortable while I was away. Given that he can be quite reticent with those he doesn't know, she took extra time and care to get to know him before the booking so he would feel comfortable once she arrived. Michele is an excellent communicator and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. It was so nice to see my dog become more and more settled and relaxed with each message. I was never concern or worried about my dog because I knew he was in the utmost wonderful care with Michele. And for the cherry on top, I came home to a super tidy home and a freshly made bed! Thank you Michele!
