About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was 12, and I’ve always loved training them to do cool tricks! I also, since about 14, have been taking care of other people’s dogs I am not a professional dog trainer, but I do have experience (from training my own pup) in puppy/dog training. I have my pup, Dove, who is a 9-month-old Swiss Shepherd. She is super sweet and loves to play and be outside. I also have 3 cats and 1 kitten. I just moved to Charleston. It fits in perfectly with my schedule! I don't have any other jobs currently, so I have plenty of free time to hang out with your pets! In my home, pets will not be left unattended and will be walked with leashes and harnesses. In their homes, I will always make sure doors and gates are locked and secured properly, also watching out for any signs of discomfort at all.
“Emma watched Ava for two weeks while we were out of the country. I am so happy we had her as our sitter!! She was extremely reliable and timely and I could tell truly has a passion for animals. She is so sweet and took great care of our girl - and I would rebook her again in a heartbeat!”
“Daphne is amazing! I was looking for someone who would care for my dog the same as they would care for their own… Daphne was that and more! It was as if I had a member of my family watching and caring for my dog. Truly made my week long trip stress free knowing my dog was in great hands. Thank you again Daphne and you will be the only person I request to watch Jack from now on!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats on and off throughout my childhood and adult life. I absolutely love animals and how much joy they bring to our lives! I have ample experience with breeds of all sizes, stubborn (and adorable), and animals with special behavioral needs. I’ve also had experience with medication management. I currently work from home full time, so if I need to pop over for a drop in with your pet, my schedule is flexible for me to do so (or for extended drop-ins, I can bring my laptop for some extra time giving your fur baby more time!) I always encourage a meet & greets to get to know each other, and to get your pet more familiar and comfortable with me. I’m a visual learner, so any opportunity to get a better sense of mannerisms is always appreciated!
“Alexis was a professional in every way possible. On time, send the cutest photos and make sure storm was taken care of! Even left the tv on for her till I got home. Will be using her again!!”
“Delaney was awesome and easy to work with. She met me and my 2 dogs beforehand for a quick introduction and then was timely in checking in on them throughout the week. Good care and great communication. Will book again!”
“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!”
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!
“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.”
“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!”
“Abigail is fantastic with our loving, clever and energetic dog who’s always keeping us on our toes. She’s always on time, incredibly patient, and consistently reinforces the commands we’re working on. We truly appreciate her reliability and the care and dedication she brings to every visit.”
“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!”
“Ally was amazing! She was so thoughtful and thorough with our old dog Boone. Her messages and photos each walk assured us he was getting the best care. I would 100% recommend her to be your pet sitter and we will absolutely hire her again!”
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.
“Catherine was so great! She immediately knew how to befriend my shy kitties and was sure to get all the applicable info before I headed out of town. She even fed the fish and watched out for sad plants!”

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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Charleston on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 1,237 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Charleston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charleston. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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 sitter.
