About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was just 2 years old, giving me over 37 years of lifelong experience with pets of all personalities, sizes, and temperaments. I am currently a proud cat mom to three cats of my own, so I understand that pets aren't just animals - they're family! Throughout my life, I've enjoyed caring for, feeding, playing with, comforting, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves going for walks, playing with toys, getting lots of cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family members are in a caring, dependable hands while you're away! I work full-time, typically three 12-hour shifts per week, but I’m happy to work with pet parents to accommodate their pets’ needs around my schedule. My usual workdays are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and every other Sunday. On workdays, I can generally accommodate morning and evening drop-in visits. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and can work with your preferred schedule. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I always do my best to accommodate feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medications, and other specific care instructions. I believe communication is key, and I’ll make sure you know how your pets are doing while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities! I currently have three cats of my own, but I do not offer boarding or take outside pets into my home. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they can feel comfortable and maintain their normal routines. When visiting your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and pay close attention to your pet’s individual needs. I make sure feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, potty breaks, walks, and other requested care are handled properly. I also love keeping pet parents updated! You can expect messages, pictures, and updates so you can enjoy your time away without constantly worrying about how your furry family members are doing. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone new. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pets by providing dependable, loving, and attentive care every visit.

About: Hello! I have taken care of many different types of animals, all shapes and sizes ever since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and fish! Whether it’s just one fur baby, or even up to six at a time, I can do it! I love animals and have a cat and four fish of my own—I have had a few dogs in the past as well! I would love to get to know your pets and take care of them if you need help! :) I am typically free most week days and weekends anytime to walk, feed, or play with pets. Mondays and Wednesdays I am more busy in the morning time due to classes, however I can still do drop-ins before and after on those days as well! For my current pets I keep my fish in a 50 gallon tank since they are smaller, but love the space. For my cat, Squash, she stays in my main unit with me free to roam around and cuddle with me whenever she likes. I do not offer boarding services since my complex only allows a certain amount of pets at a time.
“Madison was great! She was able to accommodate a same-day request, which I really appreciated. She took Annika on an adventure to the park, and Annika came home completely pooped. It was clear she had a great time. I would definitely book with Madison again!”

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I started petsitting at 13 and have experience with puppies, seniors, and administering medications. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant as well! I am a sophomore at Clemson University, and I’m majoring in Animal and Veterinary Science! I’m currently a full time student at Clemson with extra time in the afternoons and weekends for walking or taking care of your fur babies! I am very responsible when it comes to pet care, especially other peoples pets. I can ensure that I will take good care of your pets. I love to send lots of pictures daily so that you know your pet is safe and happy!

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of providing not only basic care, but also love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime, grooming, and recognizing a dog’s individual needs, I am dedicated to treating every dog as if they were my own. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals, ensuring they receive the highest level of care while you’re away. I work part-time at a pool, so I have a flexible schedule and extra time throughout the week. I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for my own, so I would love the chance to spend more time with them. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while also keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to make sure each pet is happy, well cared for, and feels at ease while their owner is away. When I had an older dog, giving medication was always needed, so if you have an older dog and need to know that they will be in good hands. I definitely will be the girl for the job!
About: With me on board, you're cleared for departure! Lifetime animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for pets through every stage of life. I’ve never lived without a pet, and caring for animals isn't just a side job for me, it’s second nature. Over the years, I’ve managed everything from high-energy daily routines to specialized medical care. Having guided three of my own dogs through cancer, I understand how crucial gentle, attentive, and reliable care is when a pet needs extra patience, medication, or comfort. On the flip side, I currently share my home with two rowdy, high-energy Boxers and four cats, so I’m equally at home managing big personalities, high-energy exercise, structured routines, and multi-pet household dynamics. Whether your pet needs structured crate training, engaging enrichment (like stuffed Kongs to keep busy minds occupied), or a patient, calm presence while you're away, I treat every animal in my care with the same dedication, attention, and love I give my own. I work remotely from home, giving me fantastic flexibility throughout the day for daytime drop-ins, walks, and potty breaks. For house sitting, I am fully available on weekends. During weekday house sits, my remote work structure allows me to split my remote workday between your home and mine so I can pop back to care for my own pets while giving yours plenty of dedicated time, attention, and evening companionship. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. Whether providing care in your home or popping in for a check-in, I am extremely attentive to security, door safety, and personalized needs, including strict crate protocols, medication, or specific feeding schedules. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every pet with the same dedicated care I give my own.
About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience working in professional dog daycare and boarding environments, where I cared for multiple dogs at once of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. This experience has helped me become very comfortable handling high-energy dogs, shy or anxious pets, and multi-dog households. In addition to supervision and playtime, I have experience with basic grooming such as bathing, brushing, and general upkeep to keep pets clean and comfortable. I am also attentive to feeding schedules and any medications, making sure each pet’s routine and needs are followed closely. I understand how to read dog behavior and prioritize safety, structure, and a positive environment for every pet in my care. I am currently a sophomore at Clemson University. Right now, I am taking online summer classes that allow me to be flexible in house sittings with myself ample free time to spend the day with your fur baby! I can provide frequent walks and check ins through out the entire week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise, to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I treat every pet and home with respect and care, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals ranging from small and large dogs, cats, snakes, and lizards. I am reliable to get the job done and more.

I am very good at following directions and will always ask questions when needed. I will be attentive to any accommodations your pet may require. I strongly believe in treating your pet how I would want to be treated.

About: I have been a pet lover since birth. Throughout my life, I had lived with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, snakes and even a pet skunk. I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to assist and care for injured and rehabilitated raptors, spent several years as a foster mom for orphaned bats, and assisted in researching black bears. I currently live with three sweetie pie pups, a 9 and 6 year old golden retrievers, Deal and Bear and a 7 year old mixed rescue named Carly. I am available to come to your home and walk, run, feed, water, cuddle, and play with your animal(s). Your pets will love me and I will love them back. I am currently working from my home, so I have plenty of availability for whatever and whenever you need someone to help out with your home and pets. I will keep a watchful eye out for your animals and send frequent photos and updates to you while your babies are under my care.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 3 years. I have taken care of all ages. I have stayed over night and made daily visits I currently work, but have been looking for a job to fill me free time. I want to give your dogs the attention the need I have reliable transportation and can get to your house on time. I will be attentive to your instructions and care of your pet acutely.
About: I love dogs more than anything and took care of my childhood dog for more than 11 years. I also have experience with dog walking. I recognize the love and attention dogs need and am more than happy to provide that. I am a college student with no outside responsibilities so my schedule is fairly free and flexible. I’m excited to help out whenever you need. When I’m around dogs I give them all my attention and love. Seeing them happy makes me happy and I’m thorough with taking care of them. I keep their routine consistent and follow all instructions given carefully. I will also send updates and treat your pet like family.
About: I grew up around cats and dogs and have cared for them my whole life. I enjoy going on long walks and playing with cats until they get tired of chasing a feather on a string. I am currently a graduate student so my schedule is very flexible and can work around what your needs are. Anytime you need me to stop by I can try my hardest to be available. I am willing to do whatever your pets want to do that day! I can take them on walks, spend a day at the dog park, or just give them the attention they deserve!

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years and absolutely love animals of all kinds! Since I was around 11 years old, neighbors, friends, and families in my community have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I truly love spending time with dogs whether that means going on walks, playing outside, sticking to their routines, or just relaxing and cuddling with them. I am very dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. As a full time Clemson MBA student taking online classes this summer, I also have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention and care! I am currently a full time MBA student at Clemson taking only a few online classes this summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care! I am available during weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnights depending on your needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I am able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. If pets stay in my home, I live in a great neighborhood for walks and outdoor time, and I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. I am also completely comfortable staying overnight in a client’s home if that is preferred for your pet’s comfort and consistency. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I always treat every animal like they are my own with lots of attention, patience, affection, and care!!
About: I’ve been taking care of family pets my whole life. My sisters, grandparents, and cousins all trust me to feed, bathe, and walk their dogs, even when they are difficult. I look forward to meeting new furry friends through Rover! I’m currently going to school at Clemson University so I have a semi flexible schedule when it comes to pet care on the weekdays. I have my own car that I can use to get to client homes or take pups wherever they need to go. I can’t wait to start helping out some wonderful owners! I am very adaptable to different environments so whatever directions given to me I can follow. I plan to give regular walks to dogs and give them lots of love and pets. If there’s a yard, I’d love to play some fetch or let your dog run around if it’s fenced. I will also follow any feeding schedule given. I appreciate you trusting me with your beloved doggos!

About: Hi, I’m Haley! I live in Anderson, SC, and I work remotely as an insurance agent. When I’m not at my desk, I’m usually with my 15-year-old daughter. We’re on this pet care adventure together. She’s in high school, absolutely obsessed with animals, and has the biggest heart, and will always be under my direct supervision. I’ve been around pets for nearly three decades, and she’s grown up with them from the start. Between the two of us, your pets get plenty of love, attention, and care. In addition to drop-ins and walks, I also welcome dogs into our home for boarding and daycare. I make sure their stay is calm, comfortable, and closely aligned with the routine they’re used to. It’s important to me that every dog feels safe and settled while they’re here. We do have two friendly dogs at home who are used to sharing their space. I always introduce new pets slowly and with care to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available any day for drop-in visits or dog walks. I usually prefer a little notice to plan ahead, but I’m open to last-minute requests when I can make it work. When pets stay with us, they’re in a calm, quiet home with plenty of attention and supervision. I introduce new dogs slowly and make sure everyone feels safe before sharing space. For in-home visits, I always follow your instructions exactly; meals, meds, gates, anything you need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always respect your home and your rules.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Central is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Central. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Central after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Central. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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 use the 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
