“Kathy was a great host to my pup. She was very professional and took great care of Ollie. She sent updates / photos regularly which was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, and would be glad to have her watch Ollie again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was little and have experience with both dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to help feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I always try to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible and allows me to spend quality time caring for pets throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always prioritize safety, patience, and creating a calm environment for pets. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m gentle, responsible, and understanding with animals, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.
“Five star service over and over. Chelsie has been great with Roxy the last several times that she has watched Roxy. I have two more sitting sessions schedules and will continue to use her service.”
“Our pup had such a good time with Sasha! We took the kids to the beach and he had a vacation with her, went on lots of walks and felt at home. She was super responsive and sent great pictures and videos. Definitely would send our fur baby back to her when we come down!”
“Our black lab puppy, Juniper, enjoyed a weeks stay with Kerri over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was able to run and play with the other pups and enjoyed daily affection and treats. Kerri was great with correspondence and sent us daily photos of our sweet pup. We were very pleased with her flexibility and overall love for animals and relaxed manner with them. Will book again!”
“Mike did a great job watching my dog! He was super accommodating, flexible with his schedule, always quick to respond to my messages, and he sent cute pics and videos! My dog was happy and relaxed at the end of the stay. Highly recommend Mike!”
About: I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for dogs, which means safety, reliability, and attention to detail are always my top priorities. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and providing extra patience and comfort. Having moved here from Philly, I truly miss having a dog of my own, so I treat every pet I care for like family. I’m calm, observant, and dependable, and I’m especially comfortable with routines, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra care or reassurance. Whether it’s walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off where I’m completely available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care.I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. As a nurse, I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I carefully follow all routines and instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s environment clean, calm, and familiar. In my home, pets are supervised, never left unattended for long periods, and kept in a secure, comfortable setting. I use leashes at all times outdoors unless otherwise instructed and avoid dog parks unless explicitly approved. I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
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.
“Alyssa was amazing!! I was very happy with her great communication and how well she took care of our senior german shepherd pup ! She was super caring and attentive to make sure our dog had the best possible care. I recommend her highly and can’t wait to continue to use her for our future stays.”
“Lea is so wonderful!!!! We had a last minute booking for the weekend and Lea took care of our Charlotte so well! Copper and Luna are wonderful friends, I feel so lucky to find Lea, Luna and Copper. Charlotte had such a wonderful time here, I would 100% recommend and would return for sure!!”
“Nadra was phenomenal! My dog felt so at home with Nadra. She sent photos on a daily base. She kept me updated every step of the way. I high recommend Nadra as a doggy sitter. I will most definitely call her again soon.”
“Gabriela was amazing! Mav will definitely be going back to her. She kept me updated with photos and little messages, took Mav on so many walks and was so accommodating with travel disruptions! Always a good feeling when your dog comes home happy and healthy from the dog sitters! 🙂”
“Great couple with perfect fenced back yard and neighborhood with loads of kids who love dogs! Kimberly and Dylan were wonderful sitters for Ebony. She had so much fun!!”
“Isabelle was perfect! I have a very large, old dog and she was as comfortable as could be staying with Isabelle. I received updates and photos. I will definitely be sending Mango to stay with Isabelle again!”
“Kristen was wonderful! This was my first time using rover and she made me feel very at ease with lots of pictures and updates. Norman can be an anxious dog but he came home happy and calm, so I know he was well loved. Will be booking with Kristen again!”
“Jordan was fantastic with our dog! He’s a puppy so he can be a handful and needs more attention than most, but she handled everything so well. She sent regular updates and pictures, kept us in the loop the whole time, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Mike was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and asking very good questions to learn about Remi and her normal routines. He also kept me well informed and sent pictures throughout her stay. Remi had a great time and came home happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Mike and will be sure to use him again anytime I need someone to look after Remi.
Shelby did an incredible job watching my dog, Franny! She sent me updates and pictures throughout the entire stay and made sure Franny got enough exercise and playtime. Franny had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave! I would definitely book with Shelby again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!
We would be happy to have Zach watch our dog again! His communication was great with updates and photos daily while we were away, and he went above and beyond to make sure our pup got a special treat for her birthday that would work for her allergy and dietary restrictions which was very thoughtful. Highly recommend Zach!
Ariana was awesome! She took care of my high energy dog Gus and he came back to me super happy and seemed very well cared for! She also sent me lots of pictures of him throughout the stay which was great and super cute! Could not recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!!
Constantine was amazing! My dog Pepino is very fearful, and he gave him all the time he needed to adjust. He sent us photos and updates every day and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. It was a wonderful experience both for our dog and for us. I would definitely choose him again!! Thank you, Constantine!
I had a wonderful experience with Campbell! She was communicative, kind, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about my pets and made them feel comfortable and at home from the start. She also really eased my apprehensions about leaving them, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated the updates and thoughtful care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, and I would happily rebook with her again in the future!
Abby was AMAZING. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone since moving to Charleston. Dolly went right with Abby and forgot all about me leaving as soon as they met! Abby sent updates, photos, and even took Dolly out for a pup cup at Ben & Jerry’s on her last day! We are so sad that she is moving to Wilmington, we would have loved to use her forever! We are wishing her so much success for her future & if she finds time to Rover in Wilmington, you should book with her with no hesitation!
