“Carly was such an amazing host for our pup! She sent photo updates and kept us in the loop. She was super accommodating and her communication was great. We would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have always had a home full of fur babies. Cats & dogs all rescued. I love animals and have been taking care of them for as long as I remember. I am reliable, responsible and very good at communicating and always provide daily updates with pictures. I am semi-retired and have a shop on Etsy and TPT. My schedule is very flexible. I look forward to caring for your fur baby. I will treat your pet like they are my own, with love and respect. Consistency is key. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and shower them with love!
About: My dream is to have a dog farm. Aka a house full of dogs that get to run around and live their best possible lives. But for now, I’m happy to spend time with and take care of your fur children. I have experience with dogs that have health issues, back problems, seizures, administering medication, picky eaters etc. Nothing really scares me. I work from home so watching your pup will be a breeze and they’ll get a lot of extra attention. I work remotely full time so your pup gets extra attention! I’m typically a homebody so the evenings are typically chill and time for cuddles. We have two fenced-in yards (front and back) and plenty of indoor space. Dogs are welcome on the furniture here but I’ll follow your house rules.
“Angela and Eddie and their children were amazing hosts for my French bulldog Louie! They sent pictures and updates every single day and were extremely responsive. They even were able to watch him for one more day than we requested, with no questions asked. I cannot thank them enough and we will definitely be using them in the future!!!! 10/10 5 stars all around!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old, and I have been an active pet lover my whole life! Neighbors, friends, colleagues and others have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and watch their animals in the past, and I have proven to be a trustworthy & responsible helper! I work from home, which affords me the flexibility to be available throughout the day on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. I can also be available at varying hours on Tuesday & Thursday. Additionally, I will be available on weekends to provide any variety of pet service. I live in a spacious apartment that has nearby access to a number of public parks, beaches and walking paths. When caring for animals in my home or my client's homes, I am attentive to each pet's individual needs (ie. bathroom runs, energy levels, etc.), and play/walk with animals accordingly.
“Rocky had a wonderful time with Sasha and Kyzua. Sasha was very communicative and sent lots of cute pictures. It was very comforting to know he was being well loved and taken care of while we were gone. Rocky is looking forward to his next stay.”
About: Hi! I recently relocated to Charleston and would love to help care for your furry family members! I have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever of my own with endless energy, so I’m no stranger to enthusiastic walks, playtime at the park, and lots of attention! Don’t let the lack of reviews keep you away - I used to walk for Wag! and a dependable pet caregiver :) I’m all about photo/message updates so you can feel as comfortable as possible while I care for your pups
“Katie was simply the best!!!! She took such incredible care of our little guy and we know he had a wonderful time with her. We will absolutely be repeat clients with Marshall's new bestie!!!!”
“Sarah was so amazing!! She is extremely professional, great with communication, but most of all she took such good care of our dog. Highly recommended, will be looking to Sarah in the future for future dog care.”
About: Hi! My name is Maggie! I am a HUGE animal lover and have taken care of pets for about two years now. I go to CofC and play on the soccer team here. I love going on walks, the beach, being active and trying new coffee shops. I have a lot of free time now that my soccer season is over and would love to help you out! I just finished my soccer season so I have all the time in the world! I would love to have a dog with me to make someone’s else life better along with mine! I worked at a daycare last year and loved it! Care giving is my love language. I love animals and would treat them as my own. Long walks, beach days, and tons and tons of cuddles!!
“Zach was wonderful with our two dogs! He was responsive, sent pictures and updates, and really attentive with them. He even took them up to their favorite dog park. We'll definitely have Zach watch our pups again!”
About: I was raised by a cat mom, so I grew up in a house full of cats, so naturally they were my first love. Then one day I met a Great Dane, and became completely obsessed with dogs! I’ve had two rescue Dobermans, a Rottweiler, and now my almost 9-year-old retired racing Greyhound, Frank. Along the way, I’ve also cared for all kinds of dogs, including other Greyhounds, Labs, Poodles, Mini Schnauzers, and Shih Tzus. Basically, I love them all—the big ones, the little ones, the quirky ones and everything in between! Frank has taught me just how different each dog can be. He is the most confident scaredy-cat I’ve ever met, believes the floor is lava, thinks stairs are an absolute no, loves long walks on the beach and a good breeze through his hair, and believes any time is treat time. 😂 He has definitely taught me patience, understanding, and how to pay attention to the little things that make each dog feel comfortable and safe. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, understood, and completely at home while they’re with me. ❤️ I work as an independent hair stylist in the West Ashley area so I have control over my schedule, so for things planned with time I am pretty flexible for what you need. Some of my work days vary from 4-9 hours, if anything is booked last minute but I am happy to schedule out time for your pet instead of taking an extra hair client! My boi sleeps about 20 hours a day and stays in his bed all day long with a few stretches here and there. We walk for 20 minutes, twice a day and get treated before long naps. And any other waking moment includes just hanging out on the floor while we chill. Maybe a 45 second play time after dinner. If your dog needs a chill dog, Frank is the chillest. I'd request that any boarding in my home must be crate trained for any day time work hours, otherwise they can be out as much as they want! They can even sleep in the bed with me and my partner if they prefer! Frank does not walk up the stairs, so he stays in bed downstairs. We do not have a fenced-in backyard, but we do have a beautiful safe-for-dogs neighborhood with tons of grass paths as well as paved paths. We can go for a walk and watch the deer in the woods and the egrets in the canals. It's a great place here! There is a small, always empty fenced-in dog park within walking distance from us if your baby needs its freedom for bathroom time! 😂
About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced foster dog mom, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including rescue dogs who need extra patience and reassurance while adjusting to new environments. Through fostering, I’ve gained experience with crate training, establishing routines, leash walking, enrichment activities, administering basic care, and helping dogs build confidence. I’m also a proud dog mom to Lola, my 10-year-old Maltese/Cocker Spaniel mix, who has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. My experience as a pediatric physical therapist has strengthened my patience, attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to provide compassionate, individualized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also understand how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’m happy to share pictures and messages throughout their stay! My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. ❤️🐾 I currently work full time Monday through Thursday but I am available Thursday evenings through Sunday nights. I am available during holidays. Please contact me for special requests. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide a clean, comfortable, and loving home where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure dogs are secure when entering or leaving the house. Safety is especially important during walks. I always use secure leashes and properly fitted collars or harnesses, stay aware of my surroundings, and avoid busy roads or potentially unsafe situations. I never allow dogs off-leash in unsecured areas and tailor walks to each dog’s age, energy level, and physical abilities.
“Theresa was beyond fabulous in her care for our Remy! Very communicative and sent lots of photos while we were away. He was in great shape when we picked him up and I think actually misses Theresa and her husband and all their attention :) high recommend and we will be booking again”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Our dog had fun during her stay and was well cared for! Thanks, Carly. Carly was very responsive and timely in her responses. She worked with me on making a changing schedule work and seemed happy to have spent time with our goldendoodle. Carly and her husband have a wealth of dog/pet knowledge and experience. Overall much better experience than with many other boarding accommodations we've arranged for in the past.
Jesse did a great job with our 2 pups. He was very accommodating with drop off and pick up - especially when we had to extend the stay a night due to flight delays. The dogs came home happy and well cared for and we received updates throughout their stay. Would book again!
Grace was wonderful! I was very nervous about leaving our 4 month old puppy, but Grace took great care of him. She took him on lots of walks and kept him active. She also sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how things were going. Would highly recommend her!
Jeremiah was WONDERFUL!!! He was so kind and loving towards Tundra. He sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. He loved Tundra like his own and took him on multiple trips to the beach as well as plenty of walks throughout the day. Tundra had the best time playing with his dogs, we thought he might not want to come home! Would absolutely recommend!
Jenn took such good care of Sydney, our second time booking her and she's fantastic. She sent pictures and regular updates throughout, which we really appreciated. Sydney came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Jenn is so good with dogs, we never worry for a second when Sydney's with her.
Isabella was an amazing sitter for Baby Milo. My dog is very energetic and she was able to accommodate hes needs and get that energy out. She kept up with his potty schedule and enforced training I do with my dog at home while I was away. She did exactly what should be expected from top tier dog sitters. 10/10

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Avondale home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Avondale.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Avondale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
