House Sitting in Woodland Acres

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I’m available all week, whatever time. I’m not working any other jobs so I’m available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure they’re good and tired before I stop playing with them.

About: From a young age, I’ve been responsible for caring for animals of many kinds, from hamsters to horses, with dogs always being a big part of my life. This experience has made me attentive, patient, and dependable when caring for dogs. I’m comfortable following routines, reading basic behavior cues, and providing consistent, loving care. I treat every dog as my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I am a full time student during the week and also have a part time job, however I am available for drop in visits during the week, except for Tuesday's after 12:00pm. I can visit up to two times per day per household. My schedule allows me to drop in early in the morning before school and then stop by later in the evenings. I am also available for overnight stays full time. Tuesday’s have a little bit of conflict for, I am at school from 12:00pm to 7:00pm. If an overnight stay goes through a Tuesday someone would need to let your pet out during those hours if necessary I keep each dog’s routine as consistent as possible by closely following feeding, walking, and care instructions. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I respect my clients’ homes and make sure their dogs feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

“Tara was amazing with our animals! She cared for them in our home for 9 days. She sent lots of updates & pictures. When we returned home, all the animals were happy & the house was left in great condition. We plan to have her care for our animals again. Thank you, Tara!!”

About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.

“We LOVE Gracie! This was our first time ever having a house sitter for our dogs and she did amazing! She kept us updated with pictures of our babies and constantly let me knew how they were doing! Will be rebooking in the future!”

“Jayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and can’t go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”

“I was a little apprehensive having somebody stay at the house for a week while we weren’t home to take care of our two fur babies, but I’ve gotta say it was the best decision we could’ve ever made. He was super attentive and the communication was exceptional! We will definitely be using him again.!!! He left the house tidy, and I feel in my soul that our dog and cat were taken care of the same way they would have if we have been home!”

Casie G.

“Was so helpful and shared the best photos of our animals while we were gone!”

“Julia is an absolute delight! She oozes kindness and trustworthiness! She is responsible and I never had to worry about my dogs when I was away! Julia and her husband stayed at our home and brought their sweet pup to play with our dogs, per my suggestion!! She took our dogs to a closeby trail for walks each day! We will definitely choose her as our doggy sitter for all of our future trips! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Stacie is fantastic! She house sat our two young large energetic dogs with ease. She is a good communicator, responding quickly and also sending updates and photos. I recommend Stacie with no reservation and will be reaching out to her for all my future house-sitting needs.”

“Mia was wonderful! She took great care of my two golden retrievers and my two tuxedo cats! She sent daily pictures and updates. She played ball and spent time outside with the dogs. She gave them each individual attention. Even my very shy cat came out and greeted her. She followed all directions perfectly and left my house very clean and in perfect order! I would very happily use Mia again. The best thing a pet parent can have is peace of mind when traveling. With Mia at my home I didn't worry about a thing-I knew my dogs and cats were all well cared for and happy. Mia is very friendly and warm and a natural animal person. She was very accommodating when I needed to add a day and had to change my return time. Overall, I give Mia five stars-she is fantastic!”

“Olivia is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She goes above and beyond when she is with my 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog was recently sick, and she has helped by cooking his food and being on top of his new diet. She always sends pictures and stays in touch when she is sitting. I trust her completely and I am grateful to have found her here on Rover.”

“On time and took great care of our pets!”

About: I’ve had large dogs since I was a little girl so I feel at ease when first meeting them (and they sense it). I’ve been both a dog & a cat mom for over 25 years and would much rather spend time with them over most humans! I’m currently working part time on a side business startup so my schedule is pretty open during the week as needed. I would be available most anytime Monday-Fri I am just getting started on pet/house sitting, currently have my own cat inside my home with plenty of spaces for her to climb and be happy! However, I will be offering to come to your home rather than mine to care for your pets/home

“Haleigh is wonderful! Very responsive, communicative, friendly, and great with our dogs! We really appreciate her!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs! I’ve helped raise and train puppies, so I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and handling high-energy dogs. I also adopted an anxious rescue dog from a shelter and fostered 3 shelter dogs, which taught me a lot about patience, reading behavior, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I’m dependable, attentive, and flexible with scheduling, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I know every dog is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and comforting around! I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away with plenty of photos and communication. My schedule is currently very flexible as a Clemson graduate and nursing assistant, which allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend bookings. I’m able to adjust my routine around pet care needs, including morning, midday, and evening visits or walks. I’m reliable with timing and will make sure your dog’s routine is followed consistently so they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and trusting environment for every dog I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort levels, especially for anxious dogs or pets adjusting to a new person. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own.

About: Through my work with Battle Buddies, a nonprofit that raises and places service dogs for veterans, I gained valuable experience being around dogs regularly and observing the care, structure, and attention they require. In addition, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends, family, and private clients through pet sitting and drop-in visits. As a professional photographer, I also love capturing pets’ personalities and include complimentary photos during our time together! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I plan my day to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and keep the home clean and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Chris was an excellent dog sitter. He was prompt and handled our dog's quirky personalities very well. One of our dogs initially barks at strangers but Chris was able to calm him a few minutes after arriving. He even washed the sheets and remade the bed (not expected but greatly appreciated). We highly recommend Chris for any dog/house sitting.”
