Sarah was absolutely fabulous. Friendly and was very communicative. She was very attentive to our dog Drummer and he loved her. It's comforting to know he was taken care and we could trust her. We will definitely be repeat customers.

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

About: I have taken five different dog classes and have volunteered in the past to assist at local animal shelters. I would bathe, brush, walk, and play with a variety of dogs. Patient and flexible and always do what is best for the animal. My oldest dog is a certified Therapy dog and we visit mostly nursing homes to help brighten someone’s day. I have had a dog most of my life which I was responsible for walking, feeding, and caring for. I love animals and I will follow any rules provided from the owner. I am a school teacher and very trustworthy. I treat my dog like children and may overact sometimes and rush to the vet when it’s not necessary, but just want to keep my baby girls healthy and safe.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but finally in first grade I got one of my own. He was around 3 when we got him and now is an old man who needs help sometimes even if he doesn’t want it. I also have another pup who is now 3. I house broke him and taught him a few tricks. I have had to give medicine from time to time. I watch my neighbors dog who needs medicine. I’m currently in high school. However on Tuesday/Thursday I don’t go to school til 10:20 so I would be back with your animals after 2:44. The other days I’m gone from 8-2:44. I am involved in after school activities but I would be able to let them out before going to those. I will follow what you tell me. I mostly like staying with the animals so they aren’t alone most of the time. I might spoil them a little too much while you are away though!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My dad owned hunting dogs that we had trained ourselves, they were so loving of us kids and always enjoyed long walks in the woods and hours of play time. We’ve also had cats of every personality, from the fat house cats, to the crazy orange cats, to the shy barn cats, to the hunters who always brought us back a present. We would go to the farm every Sunday and feed the cows and pigs. We’d help our grandparents clean out the chicken coop and feed the hens. I’ve always had a big heart for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with taking care of my own animals as well as long term and short term pet sitting. I’m experienced bathing and some grooming, I have owned a husky and a malamute and I’m not afraid of hair. I can also clean ears, teeth, and nail trimming but you must supply your own equipment. I currently work in the healthcare field and can provide care to puppies and senior dogs and special needs. I can administer medications, change dressings, and more. I work with Military and Police K9s and I’m trained in Animal CPR, First Aid, and Critical Care. I work 2 days a week, I am available at all times of the day and night. I can usually work in last minute scheduling and cancellations. Communication is key. I do not offer any in-house services at this time, but I will gladly come to your house! I prefer that your pet has a harness for walking rather than just a collar, as it is safer for me and your pet. Care will differ from client to client based upon what services you are looking for, just let me know!

About: Hi my name is amber. I have 2 huskies, and 4 cats of my own. I used to want to be a vet tech, but school was too expensive, and far away. I have set a new goal to open a kennel of my own, and work from home. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I work a job i can make my own schedule. I would like to only work my regular job part time to transition to a job in animal care. I have a fenced in yard with 2 separate fences. I have 3 huskies, and 4 cats. They are friendly, and social I love working with dogs and cats. I have rescued feral kittens, taken in pregnant cats, and helped aid in the care of kittens who need vet care. When it comes to dogs I have done almost everything except diabetes. I have had puppies to seniors. I was a husky breeder for a brief time.

About: I am looking to offer the unique opportunity to allow people to have their pets cared for by someone who is truly qualified. My personal goal is to put all profits made on Rover towards my student loans. I currently work full-time with a four day schedule each week and the days I'm off rotate, if you know a specific time you're going away, please reach out to me at least 12 weeks in advance and I can try to accommodate my work schedule. I will watch your pets the entire time. I'm with them, I will either keep them within their fenced in yard or on a leash if not in their own yard at all times.

Without hesitation, without any doubt I would have Kelly watch our fur babies again! We have two terrier/yorkie mixes. Our girl is very anxious and timid, especially around strangers. However, at our very first meet BOTH our dogs allowed Kelly to pet them and walk them. There are just certain people that animals gravitate to and just know that they have that kindness about them-Kelly is one of those people!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in the house my whole life. I’ve helped raise my brother and sisters dogs when they were puppies l, and I currently own a 2 year old golden retriever who is pretty much my life. I have always been the go to pet sitter for my whole family and friends when they go out of town, and that has been my favorite compliment. I currently work full time and I am completely available any weekends or select days during the week before or after I work depending on the day! I am very well rounded when it comes to animals and can adapt pretty easily to any demands concerning your pet. I have no issues crating, feeding playing or walking your pet!

About: I’ve been dog/pet sitting for nearly 20 years. I’ve handled dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds and have cared for a number of other animals including cats, ferrets, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even goats! While they are God’s creation, I am not a fan of snakes… I have a flexible, work-from-my-phone career so I can manage my schedule accordingly. I do quite a bit of travel and can be available in different cities when I’m traveling! I do not care for pets in my home at this time. In my clients’ homes, I follow their protocol to ensure the animal is comfortable while their person is not home.

Rhianna was fantastic. Libbie looked forward to her afternoon walks while we were in town. She was prompt, provided great communication, and took some of the best animated pics of Libbie! I plan to connect with her again next time I am back in town.

Once again, Milan saved the day! I’ve got a stubborn little chi-mix named Lady. Milan has managed to get her outside for around 30 minutes. I think she knows him now so next time will be easier. Thanks Milan!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Charleston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 341 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Charleston. 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 Charleston. 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 Charleston.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Charleston. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
