“Abby has been so great with our puppy! She comes by a couple times a week to let her out and feed her, and she’s always on time, communicative, and super reliable. She follows all of our feeding and medication instructions and sends us tons of cute pictures, which we love! We always feel like our pup is in good hands with Abby!”
“I am a returning client for Colby - and I will continue to be! She sends updates and photos, makes sure the dogs get plenty of outside play time, and is very respectful of our home. She always follows instructions and leaves everything as she found it! Thank you so much:)”
“Alexis was a professional in every way possible. On time, send the cutest photos and make sure storm was taken care of! Even left the tv on for her till I got home. Will be using her again!!”
“Christina is so reliable and so so good to my dogs. I feel so comfortable going out of town for short or long periods of time bc I know she is treating my dogs like her own!”
“Katie was brilliant - so friendly, great communication, flexible and accommodate our needs - and she took amazing care of our 18 month old puppy. We would recommend her to any future owners needing someone to look after their pets.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, both my own and others from petsitting, my entire life. I love animals and have lots of knowledge on care, feeding, walking and petsitting! I don’t currently WFH but I have a flexible schedule and can stop by throughout the day so I have lots of time for your fur baby!!! I love taking the dogs I petsit for on walks, to the beach, dog park, and playing with them! I have my own dog Miller that would love someone to play with so I like to do a meet and greet prior to booking. Just message me and we can set that up if you are interested. I have lots of toys for the pups to play with so to avoid mix ups I prefer you leave yours at home unless it’s emotional support but feel free to bring crates, bedding etc. I have a large apartment with lots of space for them to lounge and hangout! I have space for crates or any amenities that come along with your pet! I love loving on all dogs and care for them as if they’re my own.
About: I grew up with a dog, bunnies, gerbals and have had roommates with cats in the past. I have taken care of neighbors, friends and family animals. I have my first puppy as an adult and have raised him since he was a pup with plenty of training. I am knowledgeable in training dogs and can assist with working with them while parents are out of town. If they need some play time, a walk or to exist with each other then I am your gal! Im always game for a walk, to get outside and able to give the attention the dog needs. i am available most weekends and available after work during the weekdays. I love getting the dogs outdoors if possible and get them moving. i keep them to the food schedule provided and get clarification on what the pet needs. I am great at tug-of-war and fetch! if they need a scratch then i will gladly help them out. I’d keep to the pets eating schedule, provide exercise if directed and give it the attention it needs !
About: I grew up in a home with three dogs, so caring for pups of all sizes and personalities feels like second nature to me. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles, or playtime, I know how to tune in to what makes them feel happy and safe. I live on James Island within easy walking distance of parks and dog-friendly paths, and I also have a clean yard that’s perfect for supervised outdoor play. With no other pets in the home, your dog gets my full attention and a calm, comfortable space to relax. I’d love to give your pup the same care and affection I grew up giving my own! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I can provide early-morning walks or drop-ins before work, lunch break check-ins/walks, and I’m home by 5 p.m., so evening walks, drop-ins, and playtime are always an option. Fridays and weekends are wide open for more flexible care. Your pet’s routine is important to me, and I’m happy to work around the schedule that keeps them happiest. I make safety and comfort my top priorities, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours. I live in a very walkable neighborhood close to several parks, which makes safe, enjoyable outings easy. At home, I have a secure yard perfect for quick supervised potty breaks. I follow each pet’s individual routine and am comfortable using crates if that’s what your dog is used to or feels safest in. My goal is always to create a calm, structured environment where your pet feels secure, understood, and well cared for
“Mindy went absolutely above and beyond caring for my pets while I was away. She didn’t just let them out for potty breaks—she truly spent quality time with them and made sure they felt loved and comfortable. She played with them, refreshed their water, gave them treats, and even put on calming music before she left. She took extra time with my more nervous pup, patiently hand-feeding him until he felt comfortable enough to eat. Reading her detailed updates gave me so much peace of mind because I knew she was paying attention to each of their individual needs and personalities. It was obvious that my pets weren’t just being “checked on”—they were genuinely cared for. Knowing they were getting love, playtime, and such thoughtful attention while I couldn’t be home meant the world to me. I can’t recommend Mindy enough, and I would trust her with my pets again in a heartbeat. Thank you for treating them like your own! ❤️🐾”
About: I have spent a lot of time house sitting and pet sitting for both cat and dog families! I love to go on long walks, and take my poodle at home, Remi, on 2 mile walks when I can. I love walking dogs because you have a companion, and no one wants to walk alone! I also have experience in enrichment for dogs, playing in back yards can be so important for hyper pups! I am currently a senior at the College of Charleston looking for a light and positive activity while applying to law school and finishing out undergrad! My schedule during the week is flexible, with time mostly on Tuesday/Thursday mornings/mid mornings and afternoons! I love to go on walks in Charleston and incorporate that into my daily life. I do not care for pets in my home because I am living in a college house. When I am in someone's home, I typically feed/change litter boxes and clean out the bowls when done as well as refreshing water.
“Erika was an absolute delight! I needed a cat sitter on short notice, and with only two days between booking and my trip out of town, she offered to do a meet and greet with my girls (my two kitties) after completing a full day of work. While I was away, she checked in on time for every visit and took great care of my girls, even sending cute photos pf them, which helped put my mind at ease. When I returned, everything was just as I left it, and my girls had food and water to spare. There was even a power outage on one of the days she was supposed to visit, so she waited and monitored the outage. We figured out a way to get her a physical key, and she completed her visit. She went so above and beyond! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

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!!
About: I have three pups of my own: Leon, Zelda and Finn! They are my babies and I love them to death. They love and play great with other dogs as well! I have always had at least two dogs growing up, and I have a life long experience with teaching and caring for them. I have a huge passion when it comes to animals, especially dogs. All of my dogs have been rescued, and I love to give them the happiest life that I can. We have plenty of love and fun to share with your fur babies if you want to reach out, we'll set up a date! Thank you so much for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you very soon! I am working part time from home so your fur babies will be under my care at all times. I am a firm believer in playing hard and sleeping harder so that will pretty much take care of the schedule! ☺️ I have a fenced in back yard and three dogs to keep yours company. Also trained with crating and accommodating special needs at your request
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Adare is absolutely amazing with my stubborn orange cat! She is so reliable, sweet, and caring, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in her care. She goes above and beyond to spend time playing with him, brushing him, and giving him lots of attention. She also always sends me the cutest pictures, which I absolutely love receiving while I’m away! I couldn’t recommend Adare more—she is truly wonderful with my cat! 🧡🐈
Christina is fabulous!!! She was wonderful with our senior kitty before she passed and equally amazing with our new Maine Coon kitten. Christina has a wonderful spirit, and our pets fell in love with her immediately. It certainly gives us peace of mind to know our kitten is in good hands.
Lauren was incredible!! She left such a thorough update about my girl and made time to walk her but also hang out. She made sure to tell how Masie was when she got there and how she seemed when she left, and just out my mind at ease about how my girl was doing while I was at work. I really really appreciated her and her flexibility and thoroughness!

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.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
