“We greatly appreciated Livana staying with our Tank. He was so happy to go on walks and play with his toys while we were away. Livana took great care of him. She sent us updates and pictures the entire time and we couldn’t thank her enough.”


About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything

“10/10 recommend Rhiannon! My dogs were comfortable with her as soon as they met and I felt at ease leaving them with her. She sent photos of updates and I could see my dogs laying with her just like they do with us which is great to see and provided even more comfort. Will definitely be looking to book her again.”


“Jeanne was AMAZING! I was worried about my dogs being away from their home but they loved her house too! I felt like I didn’t have to worry at all when I was gone which is such a blessing! I will definitely ask her to watch them again! Also, she got me in LAST MINUTE. I couldn’t be more thankful!”


“Kat did such an amazing job with all of our animals while we were out of town! She kept us up to date on everything and shared daily photos of the pets. She also kept our house very clean for us to come home to. She is very sweet with the animals and took such great care of them.”


“Victoria arrived exactly as scheduled and did an awesome job with our dog. We received pictures and updates during our time away. She went above and beyond to help our 2 kitties feel at ease as well. Definitely will ask for her again!”


About: I’ve had dogs since my 20s. My black lab recently passed away and I’m not ready to get another dog so I figured I would dog walk to get my fix! I am always watching the neighbors dogs and cats. I do have experience with puppies and the elderly. My business is that of Massage Therapy and I am also certified in Canine Massage! I have also included a picture collage of my home so that you know what to expect to see when you come in at any time. I am currently working from home so I am flexible every day of the week. I do schedule myself plenty of breaks every day of the week. This way I can properly take care of your pet. I would take care of your pet just like my own! I spoil them and they will never go hungry no matter if they’re at my home or yours

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

About: I’ve been around several dogs and cats all of my life! Pets truly make everyone’s lives better. I’d love to give owners a piece of mind! I work in an office during the day. Depending on the distance, I can squeeze in a little visit on my break. After a day in the office, my evenings are open, along with weekends. I will be sure to care for your pets per the pet parents request. I’ll treat them like my own - spoiled & happy! :) After having pets my whole life, i’m very confident as to when a pet feels stressed, hungry, etc. due to body language and interactions. I will follow all requests given and keep in contact with the owner.

About: Hi, I’m Tate a lifelong animal lover with experience as unique as the pets I care for! I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, geese, and barn cats—and I’ve been a trusted sitter for everything from puppies to parrots, bottle babies to bearded dragons. I have a special heart for pets with extra needs, including those with anxiety, reactivity, or medical concerns. I’m experienced with insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and special meal prep—your pet’s routine is safe with me. While my husband was serving in the Air Force, I spent four years caring for military families’ pets near Dyess AFB while completing my college degree. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, chickens, exotics—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it! I genuinely feel like I speak their language. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with love, patience, and lots of care. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my routine—it’s something my routine feels incomplete without. After earning my degree in graphic design and moving across the country, I had to say goodbye to the fur family I sat for in Texas. That shift made me realize just how much joy and purpose pet sitting brought to my everyday life. These days, I work from home on flexible, self-paced art and design projects, which means I have the freedom to take breaks, make visits, and give pets the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or just some much-needed love. Caring for animals brings balance and warmth to my day, and I genuinely look forward to every tail wag, meow, chirp, or cuddle. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my top priority is maintaining their usual routine and environment to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s playtime outside, quiet companionship, or extra TLC for pets who are shy or reactive. My approach is experience-focused—I’m not just there to check a box, but to make sure your pets are truly cared for and comforted while you’re away. I also believe in leaving your home as tidy (or better!) than you left it. I often vacuum or sweep, take out the trash, bring in mail, and keep up with litter boxes, enclosures, and yard clean-up. My goal is to provide total peace of mind—both for your pets and for you.

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 love having them here so much. I dont get them everyday, 4 to 5 times a month, overnight. Sometimes a few days, sometimes a week, or more. I take care of my mom, she has Dementia, and the fur kids love being next her, shes so happy and less stressed when they are here. She remembers alot when their here. I tend to cuddle with them all day & nite when they stay. 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: Hi my name is amber. I have 3 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.

“Emma is a dream!!! I cannot recommend Emma highly enough! She took care of my two pups with so much love and attentiveness—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She sent regular updates, photos, and even FaceTimed me, which made me feel so connected. When I came home, the house was spotless, and my dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. Emma went above and beyond in every way!!! She’s reliable, kind, intuitive, and has a true gift with animals. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. I already hope to book her again!”


About: I have lived with and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I believe they are often misunderstood and approach their care from an empathetic strategy. I have no restrictions on age , breed or size. I also have experience with epilepsy and basic medical care. I work full-time and will be available after 4 pm most weekdays. I am able to work from home for part of the week so I am able to check in during the day and stay with your pet if arrangements are needed. I will give your pet the same care that I provide my own. I will provide check ins at the agreed upon interval. Respect any custom requests for visiting care that I can.

About: I love working with pets! I have experience handling both dogs and cats! I have great experience with cats, and I can manage a household with a large amount of pets as well. I’ve worked personally with a multitude of animals ranging from cats all the way up to an Irish wolfhound fhat I regularly pet sit for. I work five-six hour days from late afternoon to evening, however I will prioritize any animals when I am off of work. I do not travel much nor do I have many plans throughout the week. I can crate dogs, clean litterboxes, or anything else required for the pet in your home. Along with that, if a pet is prone to messes I am more than capable of cleaning up after them.

“Kaylee was fantastic and made going away a breeze! She was responsive, professional, and very competent. She gave us regular updates and pictures which was great. I 10/10 recommend her and will definitely go to her first when we need someone we can trust with our pups.”


About: I've had dogs my whole life, and living on my own with 2-3 dogs at a time. I had two 13 year old boys pass away about a year ago, so I have experience with dogs with arthritis and daily medications. I currently have 2 girls between 2 and 3, so high energy pups only get me as excited as they are! My dogs are usually pitbulls, so tug and chew toys are huge in my house! Not to mention, walking three dogs at once became a talent of mine! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, my first dog as a toddler was a saint Bernard, and my boyfriend has a Corgi! I do work a full time job, but I'm off every Wednesday and Sunday, and I get done on Saturdays at 4pm. Other weekdays, I can do house visits in the late evening or night as needed. I would be more than happy to do home visits to care for your pup and hangout as needed. I'm also very familiar with the area and many great places for walks to get excess energy out or old legs stretched out.

Charleston pet parents share their Rover experiences
First time Rover users providing a review. We had Kat pet sit our three dogs for a couple of days. We have a 14-year-old, golden doodle facing mobility issues related to aging, a 9-year-old dysplastic goldendoodle who has difficulty negotiating stairs and getting up from the floor and a mischievous 7-month-old, 17 lb Frenchie that loves to put everything in her mouth. Needless to say, watching this pack is a challenge. Kat handled the situation with ease. She was very communicative and kept us informed with messages and photos throughout her stay. She is a true professional and had fantastic rapport with the dogs. Highly recommended!

Once again, Tori did not disappoint. She stayed for 5 days. Not only were the dogs and cats spoiled to no end, the house was tidy and cleaned up. She was respectful of our home and cleaned up after herself. She kept me updated every day with what was going on with each and every pet and send lots of pics. Very happy with her. Nothing negative to say.

She is so kind, thoughtful and loves and cares for my dog just like I do! I truly am so grateful and appreciative of her and would recommend her 10/10 times! She is the BEST!! She sends me lots of updates and pictures which makes me feel at ease while away from my pup.
