About: I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking since high school and have always loved being around animals. I grew up with a dog that I miss very much, so getting to spend time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities! I work on the weekdays, so I’m available for evening walks and pet care during the week anytime after 4 pm. I have open availability on the weekends. I know how it feels to have a pet you love and adore. I will follow any and all owner directions closely, pay attention during walks to be sure your pets are taken care of!
“Skylar was so sweet with Bronzie! She stayed overtime because he was cuddling on the couch with her. I feel so good knowing my baby is taken care of while I’m gone. I loved the pictures she took and she even located his favorite toy to play with. Her communication was quick and thorough. I will absolutely be using her services again. Bronzie insists!”
About: I have been around animals of all kinds since a young age and love interacting with pets. Many of my friends and family members have relied on me to stay overnight, drop in during the day, and play with their dogs and cats to ensure they are enriched with play time and are well taken care of. I love fur babies of all sizes and breeds! I grew up with 2 large Rottweilers Bear Puppy and Katie. 3 Shih Tzu’s Molly, Alley and Cash and 1 miniature schnauzer Nicholas. I’m currently working part time in Downtown Charleston. Mondays and Wednesday I have more flexibility before 1:00 pm because I work remotely. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I am available for any lunchtime walks, play dates, and all the fur baby love! While I wish I could bring your pets to my home, I do not have the proper safety precautions for doggies and my kitties are timid of visiting pets, so I want to respect their home. When it comes to going into the pets homes I will ensure that all dogs remain on their leash while on walks away from the home and in the yards of their homes unless there is proper fencing to keep them safe. And same goes for inside/ outside kitties. I want all pets I interact with to feel safe in their environment and comfortable with me caring and interacting with them!
About: I have nearly a decade of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and repeat households. I’m especially experienced with adult dogs who thrive on routine and are comfortable being alone during the workday. I focus on consistency, calm care, and clear communication, and I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every home with respect. I work full-time during standard business hours and provide pet care before and after work, as well as overnight house sitting. I’m a great fit for pets that are comfortable being alone for 8–9 hours during weekdays. My mornings and evenings are dedicated to walks, feedings, playtime, and quality care, and I’m fully present in the home overnight. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm environment. I respect your home as if it were my own, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kristin was incredible!!! So so sweet to our kitties and sent such great updates while we were away. So grateful for her and highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 5 years old! My neighbors often ask me to walk/dogsit. I have experience keeping care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages! I am a MUSC student off for the summer, so my schedule is open almost every day of the week! I will be available from morning to night almost all days! I live in a condominium that has a nearby dog park. I also already have an extra dog bed and some toys. However, I personally don’t have any dogs living with me now.
“Sangram is the best! He always responds immediately, sends tons of photos, and genuinely cared about my three cats while they were in his care for over a week. He even got my super shy cat to come out of hiding and sit with him! My litter robot needed rebooting while I was away and he was happy to help reset it. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone and am so glad to have found a reliable sitter!”
“Catherine has been great! Setting up the meet and greet was quick and easy and I appreciate how communicative she’s been during her visits. Catherine is sure to send photos and updates on the animals daily and do other things around the house like check the mail, water the plants, and just generally ensure everything is order. She seems to really like interacting with the cats and we look forward to continue working with her!”
“Reagan did a great job. She helped care for my very geriatric cat and her particular needs. She kept her thriving for the 1.5 weeks I was away. Would re-hire and would recommend.”
About: Most of the dogs I’ve cared for have been 35 pounds and up, so I’m really comfortable with bigger pups. I’ve stayed in people’s homes to watch their dogs and always try to keep things calm and familiar for them while their owners are away. I’ve also given dogs medication when needed, whether it’s pills or eye drops, and I’m always patient and gentle with them. I think what really sets me apart is how much I pay attention to each dog’s personality. Some want long walks and playtime, others just want company and cuddles. I adjust to whatever they need. I treat every dog as if they were my own and I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I have a super flexible schedule because I take online classes from home while working toward getting into nursing school. I also do occasional Uber shifts, but my main focus is my nursing studies, so I’m home most of the day. This flexibility allows me to easily fit in dog walks or stay overnight for pet sitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and it fits perfectly with my day. I only offer care in the pet’s own home, where they’re most comfortable and feel safe. I do my best to stick closely to their normal routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or downtime. I like to keep things calm and familiar so the pets feel secure while their owners are away. I also make sure to keep the home clean and cared for, and I’m happy to send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Adare took great care of my cats while I was away! She was very attentive, communicative, and patient (especially with my shy girl Pinky). I would absolutely recommend Adare and would rebook in a heartbeat!”
“Kristelyn was fantastic!! She was wonderful this week and we are so thankful. She’s quick to respond to messages and really made us feel comfortable leaving our fur baby!! Will absolutely love to work with her again next time!!!!”
About: Hey y’all! My name is Emily and I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I became a vegetarian in 4th grade because of my love for animals, and since then I’ve spent summers volunteering at animal shelters, pet sitting, and walking dogs for neighbors and friends. I grew up with pets of my own, including two dogs, and I truly miss being around animals now that I can’t currently have one myself. That’s part of why I love pet care so much! Spending time with animals genuinely makes me happy! I’ve always said that if I wasn’t going to be a teacher, I would want to do something with animals! I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to shy pets who just need calm companionship. Whether your pet wants adventure, cuddles, or routine care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I am currently unemployed while I’m searching for a teaching job for the upcoming school year, so I am very available at pretty much anytime! I would prefer to care for pets in my clients’ homes, since I’m not sure if my roommates would be comfortable with me taking them to our home. However, I am always more than willing to take them on walks, to a park, for a drive, or even to run on the beach! I would love to give them (and me) a fun and memorable day and be able to get out their energy for you!
“5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dakota was absolutely amazing! She took care of my home, two cats, and even a fish while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She gave my pets so much love and attention, sent regular updates and photos, and left my home spotless. I came back to happy animals and everything just as I left it. I felt completely at ease knowing Dakota was there. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative sitter!”
About: Hi, my name is Morgan and I would love to help you out! I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I recently joined Rover, however, I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life. I am always down to walk, play, hangout, and do whatever is needed. Also, I have fostered many animals before and know what it takes to be there. Don't hesitate to reach out! I am pretty flexible throughout the week and am able to dog walk/sit at different times throughout the day. My daily schedule changes day to day, however, I am still very flexible! I just love being around animals. It brings me so much joy to see them happy and running around! I always want to make sure they are comfortable and feel safe in their environment, weather that means hanging out with them the whole time or giving them space.

Skylar was so sweet with Bronzie! She stayed overtime because he was cuddling on the couch with her. I feel so good knowing my baby is taken care of while I’m gone. I loved the pictures she took and she even located his favorite toy to play with. Her communication was quick and thorough. I will absolutely be using her services again. Bronzie insists!
Harriet did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! I could tell from the many photos so sent that our cat was in kind, caring, safe hands. Harriet followed the feeding and care instructions to a tee and I think our place was even cleaner than how we left it. We will absolutely be booking Harriet to take care of our cat next time we go out of town, highly recommend!!
Victoria was one of the best sitters I’ve had to date! She was extremely thorough and deeply cared about the wellbeing of my animals (their routines, play time, favorite toys, etc.). My cats are absolutely OBSESSED with her, and I know if I ever need to go out of town anytime soon, she’s definitely the sitter I’m contacting. Can confirm she’s a 12 out of 10 great sitter and person!! Definitely book her!!
Kate was amazing! She responded quickly with availability, was flexible when my schedule changed, met prior to our first sitting, and did everything as specified. Even down to opening the window for the cat when letting the dog outside. She sent pictures and left detailed updates. Even brought in a delivery for me. 10/10 recommend
Serena was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our senior cat and was level headed and calm even with the kitty’s health issues. She was a fantastic communicator and sent notes from every visit so that we know exactly how everything was going. We will definitely use her again in the future!
Kaylee was fantastic, she went above and beyond with our animals as well as noticing we accidentally left our back window cracked open while out of town. She saved the day !! She took in our mail and even dealt with our faulty 1960's doors that take a lot of patience. Can't recommend her enough! Thank you again Kaylee!!!
