“Julia was amazing!! I needed someone last minute and she responded so quickly and accommodated me giving the incorrect address, I will 1000% be reaching out again.”
“Eliza has been wonderful with our puppy Benny! She is always timely, reliable, and efficient, and does a great job handling our energetic and sometimes challenging pup. We really appreciate her patience and the care she provides. It’s reassuring knowing Benny is in good hands. We highly recommend Eliza and will definitely continue having her help us in the future!”
About: I am comfortable with all types of animals. I grew up in a household were we were always rescuing dogs and cats, and are proud members of the cat distribution lol! I work full-time with two of those days being remote. I am able to drop in before or after work and during the day when I am working from home. I will always follow the clients preferences. Whether their dog stays in the crate, enjoys walks, goes out in the backyard, or is free to walk around the house!
About: I have spent a lot of time house sitting and pet sitting for both cat and dog families! I love to go on long walks, and take my poodle at home, Remi, on 2 mile walks when I can. I love walking dogs because you have a companion, and no one wants to walk alone! I also have experience in enrichment for dogs, playing in back yards can be so important for hyper pups! I am currently a senior at the College of Charleston looking for a light and positive activity while applying to law school and finishing out undergrad! My schedule during the week is flexible, with time mostly on Tuesday/Thursday mornings/mid mornings and afternoons! I love to go on walks in Charleston and incorporate that into my daily life. I do not care for pets in my home because I am living in a college house. When I am in someone's home, I typically feed/change litter boxes and clean out the bowls when done as well as refreshing water.
About: I've had pets all my life. I love them all and I bond with them super quickly. I like to play and walk, but also snuggle with them. Animals in general are just my absolute favorite pass-time and I will treat your pets as my own. I work from home every day but I'm very flexible in my hours, my ideal scenario is before and after work + I can make a 30 min stop during my lunch break. I will treat them as my own and I genuinely care about how they feel. It’s really my goal with every animal to bond with them and find out what they like, how they like to be entertained but also what they need to relax. If I sense that they're not okay, I will try to calm them and worst case, call the pet parents to let them know.
“Sage is amazing! 💛 So sweet with my kitty and extremely reliable. Sage is an excellent communicator and sent the cutest pictures, I felt very confident leaving my baby in her very capable care. Will be re-booking, thank you so much Sage!”
“Amy did a great job taking care of our extremely shy cat while we were away, even coaxing her out of her hiding spots for treats/petting. We received updates from Amy daily and notes about how our cat was doing, and felt very comfortable that she was in good hands.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover with years of pet sitting experience! I grew up with 3 dogs, 3 cats, farm animals and a parrot, and I’ve cared for animals of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have experience with energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and care. Most recently I cared for a clients senior dog and cat in their home for over a year while they travelled for work. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I’m currently finishing school online, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care, attention, and love they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your baby, so I’m happy to provide references and frequent updates to give you peace of mind. I am always willing to accommodate to each pet’s routine, needs, and home environment, and I’m happy to accommodate any preferences or instructions that help you and your pet feel comfortable.
About: I have a precious kitty of my own that I adopted 4 years ago and am well equipped to take care of. I also frequently take care of two family dogs - one being a Dalmatian and the other being a dachshund, so I have experience with small and big dogs! I currently work from 7:30AM to 4:00PM M-F, and find that I have a lot of free time after work and on the weekends! I want to help out individuals who potentially don’t get home until late at night or need to go out of town for a few days and want someone trustworthy to check on their fur baby. I provide in-home pet care tailored to what the client needs. Whether the client needs someone to walk their dog, feed their pets, or simply spend time keeping their pets company, I’m happy to help!!
“Isaiah was great! He was reliable and got along great with my cats. I ended up fostering another cat temporarily, and Isaiah did a great job with that cat too. I’ll definitely hire him again when I go out of town for New Years!”
“Katie was awesome. She listened to my concerns of making sure our old kitty gets his meds. She sent great pictures and gave our Henry lots of pets. I loved her notes she provided. We will happily work with Katie again!”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals growing up- but have consistently taken care of dogs and cats. I currently have a puppy who I love and adore, named Bunker. Contact me if you need some help with your furry friends! I'd love to help:) I have updated my calendar for the days that I am home all day! As a nurse, I work 3x/week and am available the rest :-) As a nurse my schedule is all over the place! I will have my calendar updated far in advanced - so the days I'm available I'll be home! :-) In a client's home I am respectful and handy. I love to make dogs as comfortable as possible - someone random coming into my home would scare me too! I provide all services and follow directions as told. I am comfortable with all temperaments and personalities - that's what makes every dog special right?! I have developed a strong love of learning about every dog possible and being adaptable to them.

Adare is absolutely amazing with my stubborn orange cat! She is so reliable, sweet, and caring, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in her care. She goes above and beyond to spend time playing with him, brushing him, and giving him lots of attention. She also always sends me the cutest pictures, which I absolutely love receiving while I’m away! I couldn’t recommend Adare more—she is truly wonderful with my cat! 🧡🐈
Skylar was exceptional cat-sitting our 4.5 month old kitten for us the first time we left him home alone! She took great care in snuggling with him and playing with him to get his kitten energy out, and she sent lots of updates and pictures! She even helped us out with a missing package, which went above and beyond. Will definitely be re-booking! 10/10!
Christina is fabulous!!! She was wonderful with our senior kitty before she passed and equally amazing with our new Maine Coon kitten. Christina has a wonderful spirit, and our pets fell in love with her immediately. It certainly gives us peace of mind to know our kitten is in good hands.
Sara was a phenomenal cat sitter, and we were so grateful that she was able to accept our booking the same day after our original sitter canceled. She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away, they warmed up to her quickly, and we truly appreciate everything she did! Thank you so much, Sara!
Anna is the absolute best pet caretaker ever. She will truly, deeply love your pets as her own, and they will feel the same way about her! She goes the extra mile in every way - love, time, attention, care, advice - I can’t say enough good things. My only fear is that my pets are going to be disappointed when we get back home and they don’t get to be with Anna anymore!
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She did a fantastic job taking care of Crooks and Piggy while we were away. The house was fresh and clean when we got home, and she sent us pictures every day so we could see how happy and relaxed they were. We truly felt like our cats were in the best possible hands the entire time. Highly recommend, thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Charleston is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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.
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters 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 sitter.
