“Elaine did another excellent job looking after my two cats! She even took extra time to get to know the shy one and to clean up a few unpleasant messes from the not-so-shy one.”

About: Dogs have been my greatest passion since childhood. Over the years, I’ve worked with a massive variety of breeds. I have experience with all seven American Kennel Club breed groups. My background includes caring for young puppies, managing multiple pet households, and specialized care for senior pets needing medication. I treat every client's dog with the same love and affection I would give my own. I have plenty of free time to drop in, walk, feed, and play with your furry friend. I am generally free every weekday Monday through Friday. I am usually available any time of day, even night time visits depending on what your schedule needs. I should be able to alter my schedule and negotiate pet care upon request if my other responsibilities allow for it, this may include weekends and holidays. Unfortunately, my place of residence does not have capacity for overnight stays or boarding. But I would be happy to visit your pet in their home to ensure their comfort and happiness. Just provide clear and descriptive instructions and schedules and I will be sure to follow them. If I have any questions i will be sure to reach out!

“Katie took care of our always energetic and sometimes rude teenage cat, Shepard. She was great about sending check-ins and pictures, which put us at ease. I would definitely work with Katie again. She’s awesome!”

About: Current active duty Marine stationed here in Beaufort. Have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life (and goats) and miss caring for and interacting with animals. I have a passion for dog training and would be more than happy to help anyone with the basics. I’m super active and can handle high energy dogs too. Thank you in advance for choosing me! I am currently an active duty Marine Corps Officer here in Beaufort! I am a single guy and have a ton of time during the early mornings, lunch time, and evenings to care for your animals! I live in an apartment so I unfortunately cannot board animals in my home. I am a huge softie for animals and treat any as if they were my own. I am honored to have the trust of my clients to watch a member of their family.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals my entire life. However, my deep connection/love for animals (specifically dogs) started when i was about 6 years old. My nana (grandma) owned a dog rescue in Georgia named Deep South Canine Rescue and it became like a second home for me. Whether i was cleaning out Kennels or running the dogs , I was having an absolute blast. Since then I have been an ultimate dog/animal lover and my family and friends always ask me to pet sit when they need it because they know I will treat the animals like my own. I hope you will to :) - Also being in the Bft area provides numerous opportunities to take your animals outside! Such as: the sands, the wetlands, throughout Port Royal, The dog park, etc! I am currently enrolled in online school making me available almost all day everyday, including weekends! I do have a job as a server but it should never conflict any responsibilities as it is not every day and not incredibly long shifts! I would give your fur babies as much time as they want! I also am willing to take off work for overnight stays if necessary. I have a fenced in back yard and also a large front yard. I also live in a gorgeous area so dog walks are an absolute yes from me ! I am also 100% okay with crating dogs if that’s what you prefer for your pet. However, i am also eligible to stay at or drive to a residence if preferred! I have many references if needed:)

About: I have worked with some insulin needs, continuing training for puppies, multiple pet homes and long durations of 2weeks plus when family has to be away. I enjoy the connection with pets and families that I've made over the years. Also I love sending picture updates too. I am a self employed Massage Therapist which allows me full control of the schedule to ensure quality care for all patients, clients, and pets. I have 3 cats in home and my mom has an outdoor cat on property. All are spayed/neutered. Strangely my 3 are siblings; Buddy and Carmella from 1st litter and Little Brother from 2nd litter. All 3 are always ready for feeding times to eat together. The brothers play and the littermates play but Carmella keeps LB in check. They're so fun to be around. Little Miss enjoys being close and follows us around on property will always take a pet and super friendly.

About: I used to dog sit for a senior dog who needed medication 3x daily, until he passed❤️. I would stay for 2 weeks on end at times with him caring for him, walking him, and taking him to the beach. I also work at an animal shelter and have experience with different sizes and breeds. I also have worked with a trainer on learning animal behaviors. My current schedule is Saturday- Wednesday. My two days off are Thursday and Friday. I get off work at 4:30 and can always do after work care for animals as well. I would care for them by giving them the daily enrichment they need whether that stems from a walk or play time. Giving extra attention to pets is important while their owners are gone so they are still feeling safe around you.

She has a sensitive stomach and a strict diet so I’m familiar with dogs like that as well & know how to care for them. I’m looking forward to meeting your pet. Thank you! 🙏🏽 I’m currently a part time student & a part time employee at a sushi restaurant so I’d honestly like to dog sit whenever I’m available! My home is very minimal but cozy!

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my dedication to providing exceptional care tailored to each dog's individual needs. I ensure that every furry friend is treated with the utmost love and care. My commitment to making a positive impact is reflected in the personalized experience I provide for each pet, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to make pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to incorporate time for walking, feeding, playtime. By dedicating regular slots in my day for pet care, I ensure that each furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve to thrive and be happy. It's a priority for me to make sure they feel loved and well-cared for every day! I won’t be doing in Home pet care, but I definitely will be doing it in the future. I will be updating once I decide.

Ariana was a great Rover fit for what my pup and I needed. She was quick with communication, on time with her commitments and I felt that she was responsive to giving my dog a much needed break in the day. I would recommend her without any hesitations.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Academy Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Academy Estates is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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 November 2026, there are 320 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Academy Estates. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Academy Estates. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
