About: I have taken care of pets for friends, family, and my own for over 30 years. I foster for the Cavalier Rescue USA and find fostering very rewarding. I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I work full-time but can do drop-ins in the evening during weekdays, on the weekends my availability is flexible. I do require a meet and greet before confirming a booking. Boarding in my home is possible with cat-friendly dogs. Overnight stays and boarding will be considered upon request. I live in a townhouse with an amazing courtyard. My cat loves to hang out and lay in the sun and relax. She loves to hide in the areas of the courtyard that have large plants. The area in Lexington where I live has great sidewalks and greenspace, thus a great place for exercise for your dog should they board with me.
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.
“Jayda is dependable, has great communication, and treats Hank like her own. I trust her completely with taking care of him. He's always so happy to see her. I highly recommend her and am so thankful for her.”
About: Before I moved to College of Charleston I pet sat around my neighborhood for around 2 years. I also have 4 dogs at home including a foster dog currently and would love to meet y'all's furry friends because I don’t have an animal in my dorm currently! I can walk your doggies pretty much any time except for Wednesday's and Sunday's! typically on weekdays it’s after 12pm, and on Saturdays it’s all day! I take care of my animals with love. sticking to their schedule while involving the upmost playfulness and kindness. I will clean up after them, and like i would with my own dogs and cats put their safety and health first. If there was ever something to happen, immediately calling their owner and sticking by their 4 legged side!
“Olivia is so good with our dog Remi! She’s friendly and understanding, very flexible with scheduling and helpful! We trust her completely with our fur baby. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I've had cats and dogs since childhood and currently own a large dog. I have an affinity for all furry friends and will provide the upmost care for your companions. I am able to provide pet care in your home or in the form of dog walking from the hours of 5-10pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am available to feed cats and dogs, play time, minor cleaning of crates/ litter boxes, dog walking. I will provide care in home pets reside in as needed.
About: I have two dogs and one cat at home currently. I enjoy spending time playing and cuddling with my animals every chance I can get. I work part-time, so I am looking for something else to keep me busy this summer. I can not work Friday nights. I can check on them early in the morning or late at night. I can only do all day certain days of the week. I can help walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, or even just spending time with them cuddling on the couch if they are feeling like a lazy day.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, including seniors and energetic puppies. I always focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own! As a college student, my schedule is flexible between classes. I can do late mornings, midday check-ins, and early evenings, with open weekends for extended care or overnights. Your pet's routine comes first. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.
About: I have cared for mostly dogs since I was around 8 years old and my family got my dog. I have been relied on by family, neighbors, and others in my community at home to take care of their pets and give them all they need for as long as I can remember! I am currently enrolled in college, so I do have classes every weekday, but I would love to help with your pets whenever I am not in class! Currently, I live in a dorm, so I do not have any pets and I would not be able to keep your fur babies with me; however, I will love and care for them in your home!
About: Hey y’all! I’m Chloe, an experienced pet sitter and walker who loves caring for animals. Whether it’s daily walks or just some quality playtime, I’m here to keep your pet happy, safe, and comfortable. I tailor my services to meet your pet’s needs, and you can always count on me for reliable, loving care. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet! As a recent graduate from Clemson University, I have plenty of time to play with, walk, and take care of your pets before I start a masters program here! I will care for your pets in the same loving way that I care for mine! While watching them, their safety and happiness is my priority. If you choose the sleepover option, they will enjoy the company of both myself and my son (a friendly large cat).
About: Through my work with Battle Buddies, a nonprofit that raises and places service dogs for veterans, I gained valuable experience being around dogs regularly and observing the care, structure, and attention they require. In addition, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends, family, and private clients through pet sitting and drop-in visits. As a professional photographer, I also love capturing pets’ personalities and include complimentary photos during our time together! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I plan my day to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and keep the home clean and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Allison! I am a junior college student at Clemson University and I plan to graduate in the spring of ‘27. I have watched furry friends since I was 15 (I’m now 21)! I have visited homes and boarded at my home before as well. What sets me apart from other sitters is the love your dog will receive from me! Also, for dogs, I offer long walks around Clemson campus and my townhome neighborhood where I live! I do have a housemate who has a 1 year old gold doodle (who is comfortable with cats) and there could be lots of playtime between them if that’s interesting to you! My goal is to love and nourish your baby while you cannot! I have been raised around cats, dogs, turtles, horses, and even birds my whole life! Every animal will be loved by me! Can’t wait to watch your furry friend! As mentioned, I am a college student so I will leave around 8:30am every morning and arrive home around 11am every day. When I arrive home I plan to spend the most time with your baby as possible! I do live in a home with another pet and she is loving and gentle with new creatures. I plan to keep the animals separate majority of the time unless advised otherwise. If I do come to your home, I plan to keep the same routine for your pet as you request!
“Jessi is such a lovely lady who makes my mind and heart at ease when my beloved MazeyJo is with her. Every time she walks my girl while I am at work, I receive the best smiley doggy photos, a wonderful Rover Card update and could not be more pleased with her services. When her profile says "Your pets new BFF", she isn't kidding. Thank you so much, Jessi.”
About: I've always grown up around cats and dogs, but when I moved to Minnesota I don't get to be around pets as often, so I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your dog. I am very active and enjoy jogging as well. I work full time as a Real Estate Agent but try to keep my schedule flexible. My aunt is a vet so I would often go into her clinic and visit the animals there, I would also take my family member's dogs for walks all the time. Animals bring joy to my life and I know that having a dog in the city can be difficult, that's why I am here to help as much as I can to take your dog for a walk! I work from home so I can make just about anytime work before 6pm that is! Let me work around your s ch exile to make sure your pet gets the care it needs! Every pet is different, and I feel that matching their energy is very important. First I get their trust and show that I am a safe and kind person before the fun begins!
“Shannon was professional, kind, detailed oriented and communicated effectively while we were away from our dog Baxter. She took great photos and took the time to play with him as well. We are beyond blessed she was able to work with us and will definitely be working with her again in the future.”

Lauren M. had great communication with me and excellent rapport with our energetic 2+ year old Doodles. She gave them a great fun and safe walk around the neighborhood, being mindful of the other dogs in our neighborhood. Our dogs are SO VERY excited to see her and I know it is because they are loved on and focused on during their playtime and walks together! We can’t wait to have her dog walk, check in or dog sit for us again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Central on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,460 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Central. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 your Central. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Central.

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:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
