“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 Russ took great care of my pup! He is very timid and shy, but they were patient and gentle with him. He had a great time and got plenty of exercise with other dogs. Thank you!!!”
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Growing up in the Philippines, I regularly helped take care of my neighbors’ pets, as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’ve helped with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like family. 🐾💕 I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits on weekdays, depending on my schedule. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of nearby space for walks and outdoor time. I have a friendly 6-year-old cat and a 9-month-old baby, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m attentive to pets’ safety and needs and will make sure they have a comfortable, calm, and supervised environment while they’re in my care.

In control and physically able to handle big dogs. I respect owners wishes and follow instructions to the letter
“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.”
“Mike was a life saver responding to a daycare request on such short notice. Communication was great and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with him for the day. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and currently share my home with two dogs of my own so I know what it takes to make pups happy, comfortable, and keep them entertained. Norman, our resident over the top friendly Golden Retriever and his little big sister sidekick Hallie, our corgi/rat terrier mix can't wait to host a new friend! I have a flexible schedule, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day-not just squeezed in around a 9-to-5. Whether your dog is high energy or more of a couch companion, they'll be treated like part of our pack while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, (2-3 days a week 5-9am). My schedule is otherwise wide open- which means lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day and evening. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play and relax without worry. My home is a smoke-free, pet-friendly environment, and I keep a close eye on all dogs in my care, especially during the first few days as they settle in. My own two dogs are friendly and well-socialized, so your pup will have good company too. I’m always reachable and happy to send photo or video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.”
About: Hi! I’m Rachel, a lifelong dog lover who hasn’t gone a single day without a dog by my side. Over the last 16 years, I’ve cherished every moment of raising my own dogs and sharing that same love and care with every animal I meet. My pets have helped shape who I am, and my childhood dog even helped me take my first steps. I started dog sitting in my neighborhood when I was 10 years old and haven’t stopped since. One neighbor invited me over every Tuesday to meet her new foster puppy of the week, which is how I found my first puppy, Rocky. And since having one dog wasn’t enough, I adopted Sadie during my senior year of high school. Over the years, friends and family have come to me for help with training their new puppies and caring for their pets while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. After losing Rocky in March and graduating from the College of Charleston in May with a B.A. in psychology, I joined Rover so Sadie and I could spend more time with other dogs and make new friends along the way. I’m currently doing Rover full-time while I look for the right career opportunity, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with the dogs in my care. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and will love your dog as if they were my own, I’d love to help! I’m currently doing Rover full-time, so my schedule is very flexible. Let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I live in a two-bedroom condo with my 9-year-old dog Sadie, who loves making new friends. I also have a neighborhood dog park just a short walk away, where I take her to run around and get her energy out. We also have lots of great walking paths and parks around us to explore. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in your home, I will keep them in a comfortable routine while prioritizing their needs and safety.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as pets for friends, family, and others. I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I provide attentive and loving care, including walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, medication when needed, and plenty of cuddles and attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I have a flexible weekly schedule, which makes pet care easy to fit into my routine. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop in visits, and longer stays, and I have flexibility during both weekdays and weekends. This allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for without making them feel rushed. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible, whether that means morning walks, midday check ins, evening visits, or overnight care. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, respect their space and personality, and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Mandie was excellent. She accommodated us on very short notice when we were in a pinch. She knew just how to get my dog acclimated to her dog and her home. She really saved the day and knew how to make my old girl feel comfortable!”
About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. For my personal comfort and safety, I currently book pet care with female clients only. Thank you for understanding! I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Kathryn was really sweet and welcoming to our two pups! Our chocolate lab played with her golden all day and was worn out which we were thankful for! Will definitely be using her again.”

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 731 sitters in Avondale, 84% 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.
