About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 13 years old, focusing on providing a safe and comforting environment. Having multiple dogs of my own, I am able to understand behaviors and can adapt to their needs. As a college of charleston student I have flexibility and breaks in my schedule where I can provide care for your dog or your cat. I prioritize well being and safety of the pets in my care. I will make sure the environment is comfortable for them and I will accommodate their needs. I will also make sure to communicate regularly with the pets owners.
“Taylor is SO sweet and so professional, and a true lover of animals who can be trusted to care for your furry friends with the utmost love, generosity, and mindfulness. It is clear that my cat bonded to her which made getting her photo and text updates a daily high point for me. Will absolutely rebook with Taylor!”
“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!”
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 been around dogs my whole life, my own dog who sadly passed this year at the age of 16 was my family. To the end I practiced thorough and loving care to and for her. I have dogsat multiple tiles in the Charleston area and am comfortable and knowledgeable about the area, having lived here for just under 6 years. I love all animals of all shapes and sizes and would love to help take care of yours! I currently work as a case manager during the day, I would be available for afternoon walks/ visits! I am open to overnight visits on weekends! I always make sure any animal has water as well as food as needed, as well as making sure their bathroom needs have been met! If they have any other specific needs unique to them I always keep those in mind!
About: I’m a huge animal lover with years of pet sitting experience! I grew up with 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a parrot, and I’ve cared for animals of all sizes from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I have experience with energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and care. I also have years of ongoing experience with birds! I have a conure of my own and have cared for other birds, so I understand their unique personalities and care needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur or feathered 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.
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Ariana and I just graduated from CofC. I work full time as a barista right now. I absolutely love dogs and cats and would 100% have some if my housing allowed me to. Growing up I took care of 5 dogs, lots of cats, and a bird! On top of that I have pet sit and house sit for family friends and neighbors for about 12 years. Since moving to Charleston I haven’t been able to get a dog/cat because of where I live so I am always very eager to help out with your animals! If interested don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you and I hope to meet you and your furry friends soon! I typically work mid shifts or closing shifts so my mornings are free. I don’t work Mondays, Thursdays or Fridays too so I have plenty of time to spend time with your sweet animals! I always will make sure to follow my client’s specific instructions for their animal. I want to ensure comfort for the animal and their owner.
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 taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was around 12 years old. I am familiar with big dogs, and have taken care of many dogs who tend to jump or bark. I am a student at MUSC in a hybrid program, so I love to take care of pups during my free time! It’s also a great way for me to make some extra money for school :) I have an unfenced backyard, so I primarily walk dogs around my neighborhood on a leash. There are also many dog parks very close by that are great for letting the dogs run around!
About: I grew up with dogs and now have a cat of my own, so I have yet to meet a furry friend I don't love. I love dog walking and knowing that I am helping get a pet out of the house for a little while during the day. I can't imagine what they are thinking when their humans are gone! I work from home for my main job, but crave time out of the house. My job is very flexible so there are few times I can't get out for a walk or drop-in. I have walked dogs for people, stayed at homes for pet care, and become a trusted cat sitter for all of my friends. Though I am more inclined to a daily drop-in, I would love to discuss what is best for your pet!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Charleston
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.
Sadie checked on Arya (cat) daily for one week while we were away. She was excellent: Updating me daily along with pictures of Arya’s progress & wellbeing. She is extremely reliable and trustworthy and responsible. I would highly recommend her and will use her again. Thanks.
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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Charleston is $20 per visit as of October 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
