About: I’ve cared for dogs all my life and have extensive experience with older pups who need medication or extra patience. My home is child-free, and fenced in, and I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long. Whether your pup loves walks or just wants a peaceful place to rest, they’ll be treated like family here. We recently rescued a cute scruffy mixed terrier named Arthur. He LOVES all dogs so if you’re looking for companionship for your pup, he’s your guy! (Pups in the profile photo are our babies we lost in 2024 and 2025. Sitting thru Rover over the holidays helped us heal enough to adopt again in Feb❤️) Because I work from home, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and breaks throughout the day. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, walks, meds, and all. You can count on regular updates and photos so you know your pup is happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. My fenced-in yard gives them space to sniff and stretch safely, and all walks are on-leash in our quiet neighborhood.
“Emily and Tarek were absolutely wonderful with Zuess. You can tell right away that she genuinely cares about dogs and pays attention to their personalities, not just the routine parts of care. Zuess came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very loved. She kept me updated, made me feel comfortable while I was away, and treated him like he was her own. 5 stars <3”
“Christina and her husband took great care of our pup this weekend while we toured wedding venues around the Charleston area. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and made time to play fetch even though it had rained earlier in the day. Sunnie slept our whole drive back to Charlotte so I can tell that she had a great time. 10/10”
“Anna is the absolute best!! we have a very quirky dog and she knew exactly how to handle him, exactly how to care for him and treated him like gold! She is incredibly kind, has a great spirit and super positive attitude. We loved having Anna watch Wrigley and will always be our first call when we need a sitter! I can't recommend her enough, she's amazing!!!”
“Adam was great with Venus today! He sent pictures and she had a great time visiting him with other dogs. He has excellent skills with her as a new dog learning his que for stopping something that we will be using at home! Thanks Adam!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds for over a decade. I have cared for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, parrots, bunnies, and fish. I love animals and have a very open schedule, so I am looking to spend my time doing something i love- caring for animals! I have cared for animals of all personalities and types, and have experience handling medications and fixing invisible fences as well! Im currently a fresh grad and job searching so I can very flexible. I want to keep working while i search for my next move in life! I live in an apartment downtown, so I do not have a yard. That being said, it is better for me to house-sit than board, but I am open to boarding as i live near several parks like Marion square!
“Meghan sent photos and updates of Prince throughout the day. I greatly appreciated her being able to watch Prince! He seemed to have had a great time and slept on the ride home.”
About: I tailor to your dogs specific needs - pace, favorite routes and preferences. I also add behavioral enrichment activities during the walk like playtime and basic training. I am a local Realtor and have a very flexible schedule. I am an early riser so mornings are a great time for me to get out and be active. I have a fenced yard and a very pet friendly home. I have a dog and 2 adult cats that are all 8 years old. Vivie, Moxie and Mango love and/or tolerate other animals.
“Alyssa watched my Goldendoodle, Roscoe yesterday. She was super communicative, sending me pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell he was being very well cared for. He is scared of new people and other dogs, and she followed all of my directions on helping him through his big feelings. Thank you so much, Alyssa! I will definitely be using you again!”
“Gabriella watched my little fur baby while I took in the sites in downtown Charleston. She is very close to the sightseeing and it was very convenient. She took good care of him and I will definitely be booking her again when I go back.”
About: I am a reliable and passionate animal lover who has had pets my whole life. I currently care for my black cat, Bagheera, and my golden retriever, Duke, and I also lease a horse named French, which has strengthened my responsibility and consistency in animal care. I am highly organized, dependable with time, and committed to following all instructions carefully to ensure every animal is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am home most of the time or taking care of my own pets. I am available pretty much anytime during the day and any day of the week. If you are working late I am available to take your pup out or feed your cat. I have a car and assure you I will be on time for any task. I give both of my pets lots of love and attention, I love spending time with my pets and making sure they are taking care of. I am able to walk, visit, or feed any pet. Giving my pets love means giving other peoples pets love because it can be difficult not being around your pet/owner and I am here to alleviate some of that stress. I take care of my pets with diligence and will do the same for you!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. I currently have a four year old dog of my own, so I know the importance of pet care; from walking, playing, and training. I work from home Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM which allows me the flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I primarily work from the clients’ home, but if work from my home is needed please let me know before hand. The house is already dog proof and there is a dog park within my complex, so this shouldn’t be a problem.
“Riley was exceptional! We were visiting from out of town and our plans for our dog fell through. Riley was able to accommodate a last minute request. She was so kind and her communication was excellent. Riley sent frequent pics and updates. She took great care of our spoiled pup. I highly recommend Riley if you live in the area or if you are there on vacation. She was wonderful.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a deep love for all animals. I currently have a 5 year old Great Dane/Lab mix named Maxwell who keeps me active, attentive and well-versed in daily dog care and companionship. Needless to say, I am comfortable with large breeds! I am a kind, caring and reliable person who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and loved! I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your fur baby! I work remotely, which allows me a flexible schedule and the ability to step away throughout the day as needed. This makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime and check-ins without rushing. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I am very attentive, loving, reliable and I treat every pet as if it were my own.
“Mandie was a lifesaver! She was able to take our pup with no advance notice so we could enjoy a visit to Charleston and visit places pets are not allowed. Our pup had a lovely, relaxing time with Mandie.”
“Heather was amazing with our high energy golden retriever puppy! She sent photos and videos during the day. I could tell he was having the best time ever! And the best part is he was completely exhausted from all the play. I had a nice relaxing evening! I would recommend Heather to everyone!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ashley Forest
I had a residential move scheduled on Tuesday, June 30 th for 7 AM. As if that is not stressful enough, my pet sitter texted me an hour prior canceling, caring for my dog during the move! I had never used rover.com, but really had no choice I contacted Adam around 7:30 AM He actually got back to me within 10 minutes Even though his hours for pet care started at 8:30 he was willing to take my dog Jenna A bit earlier, as he was well aware of the stress I was under with the moving company. I could not have asked for a better pet care provider. Adam periodically messaged me and sent pictures of my dog. I had given given him a timeframe of four hours, but we all know how moving goes. I actually had to let my dog stay at Adam's house a bit longer. Animal was incredibly easy to work with and extremely understanding. I'm glad I have made this contact, I will definitely use his services again. I highly recommend Adams in-home pet services. His dog Miles is a gentle giant. Having my dog Jenna stay at Adam's house while I made the residential move eliminated so much stress . I felt completely assured that my dog Jenna was in a safe environment. Thank you Adam & Miles !

Gray was wonderful with our pups. The younger one is extremely shy and, by the end of the day, was letting Gray pet her. I’m guessing lots of ball-time, walks and snuggles on the couch helped. But it is amazing. There are neighbors that still can’t pet the 3-year-old Boykin. (And, yes, she is socialized at doggie daycare, art festivals, and dinners….) We will definitely use Gray when we are back in Charleston.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ashley Forest on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ashley Forest commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 746 sitters in Ashley Forest, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
