“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”
“Tate had the best day hanging out with Anna and her dogs! Anna was very attentive and sent me updates throughout the day, which I always love. Tate will definitely be back!”
“Natasha was great! She was quick to communicate, open and easy to work with. She was very responsible and help put an anxious pet parent at ease!! We received updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Christina was amazing with my puppy Freddie! She is clearly very experienced with dog watching and did an amazing job. Freddie had a great day, and I really appreciated the photo updates. When I brought him home, he was so relaxed and sleepy from a day full of fun and activities! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our first time with doggie drop off and Fred had a blast! Thanks so much Adam for keeping us updated and for all the wonderful pics all day. Fred and Miles are going to be best buds for life! ??”
“Bootsie was amazing. I wish she was local to me. Our little anxious dog was so happy to spend the day with her each day we were in Charleston. Such a sweet and wonderful person.”
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.
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.
“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.”
“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 take a holistic approach to care for young and old pets. I will ensure that they are physically and mentally cared for so that they can live their best lives while you are away. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings to check in on and/or stay with your pet. I can be available on an on call basis as well. I have the ability to care for your pets on a daily or weekly basis. I can keep them engaged so that they can live their best life while you are away.
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have previously pet sat for many friends and family. I have experience working at a veterinary office and have rescued 2 pups since moving to the Charleston area in 2021. I currently work at a Vet office in Mount Pleasant and assist in taking care of each animal that comes in. We work with all types of dogs and cats with all sorts of social and physical restraints. I do have a dog here at home who I rescued, trained, and now bring to work with me to help assist other clients dogs. I have her crate trained and comfortable interacting around other people and animals.
“Elle is amazing! My dog absolutely loves going to her house! Elle is so attentive and my dog is so well cared for. I always feel 100% comfortable that she’s in great hands with Elle!”
“We were so grateful to have found Kelly to watch our dog Theo while we were in Charleston for a couple of days of wedding prep. Theo has separation anxiety, and we were a little worried about how he would do, but Kelly immediately put us at ease with how friendly and calm she is. Her dog, Sunny, was so chill and welcoming, which made Theo feel right at home. By the second day, Theo was sooo excited to go back! We’ll definitely be reaching out to Kelly again the next time we’re in Charleston for wedding plans. Highly recommend!!”

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 !
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
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.
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.

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 Avondale 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 741 sitters in Avondale, 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.
