About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I’ve had family pets and worked on many farms throughout my life. I’m an avid animal lover and will make sure that your pet is not only physically taken care of, but emotionally as well. Lots of love and cuddles from me! I am a full-time remote worker living in Mount Pleasant. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can change things around as needed. I have meetings throughout the day but have lots of breaks where I can come do a quick feed or walk, or I can have your pet at my home with me during the day. I am also willing to work from your home if needed. I have my own home, with no pets and a quiet neighborhood where I can do daily walks. I work remotely so I can give more attention to your pet throughout the day. I have my own car and can transport myself/your pet to and from anywhere that’s needed.
“Autumn was absolutely wonderful with Buddy! This was my first time leaving him with a sitter, and she gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Buddy can be a handful and takes some patience and attention, but Autumn handled him incredibly well and kept me updated throughout my trip. I was able to actually relax knowing he was safe, happy, and being well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with him and would absolutely book Autumn again!”
“I would 100% recommend Erika. She was great with our anxious dog and left our house cleaner than we did. She was very communicative and provided regular updates. She is also super friendly and I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home!”
“Anjil was amazing to work with! She was dependable and always communicated how our dog was doing. She was so sweet and also kept our house in perfect condition. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have been walking dogs since I was 12 years old. I have also been dog sitting since I was in high school. I have dog sat for friends, family, employers, and specifically dog sitting clients. I have experience spending overnights in the owner’s homes caring for their beloved pets, including feeding and bathing dogs. I also have experience fostering puppies, which I do for a local animal shelter. I also have owned dogs for most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I currently work full-time, but I will have plenty of time on the weekends for boarding, walking, playing, and caring for your loving animals. I am also open to doing weekdays/nights if your pets are house trained for me to be able attend work. This would include long morning walks before and after my workday. I have a fenced in yard and I also have two of my own friendly dogs that could keep your pet comfortable, or if you would prefer my dogs can go to their grandmothers and your dog can have the house to themselves. I have a “dog room” set up in my house, which includes protective flooring for accidental messes, a dog friendly couch, and camera monitoring system. It is also gated. I also have the ability to crate your loving pet if needed. I have an xl crate, so you wouldn’t need to bring one. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of your space and always clean up after myself. You will often return home with washed linens and tidied space. I will abide by any rules you set and am always easily able to get in touch with during my stay in your home. I provide daily photo/video updates of your fur baby.
“We have never left our babies with anyone but family so we were nervous but Summer was amazing with them. She commented wonderfully and sent multiple pictures daily! Thank you Summer!”
“I’ve used Colby several times now and couldn’t recommend her more! My dog has several health issues so leaving him with someone else can be stressful, but she was able to give him his medication no problem. She also is great with communication and gives lots of updates! I always come home to a happy dog and a clean home. 10/10 dog sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life (sometimes 6 at a time!) and currently I’m a proud dog mom to my rescue pup, Junior. He’s taught me a lot about patience, love, and managing special needs like administering meds and dog reactivity. I take pet care seriously (but always with joy!) and treat every animal like my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, chill couch time, or just needs someone calm and reliable, I’ve got you covered. I genuinely adore animals and would be so happy to care for yours! I use the Rover app myself for walks and boarding, so I understand the importance of communication and finding a sitter that you can trust. I am a freelance chef and took the next 3 months off work to visit family in Charleston, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I respect the owners care instructions to ensure a smooth transition for your pet. I log everything on the app to ensure trust and safety protocols .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Awendaw walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Awendaw maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Awendaw choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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.

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
