About: As a lifetime animal lover, I truly enjoy caring for pets while their owners are away! I make sure each dog stays happy, active, and well-cared for by providing walks, companionship, and playtime! Whether your pet needs exercise or just some extra belly rubs, they’re always in good hands with me! I’m very flexible with my hours and always happy to work with your needs. I’m consistently available mornings and afternoons, and can often accommodate evening, lunchtime, or weekend requests as well, just reach out! Whether it’s a last-minute walk or a planned overnight stay, I’ll do my best to be there for you and your pets. I can spend as much time with your pets as needed, understanding that some dogs, like my own parents French bulldog, requires extra company. I love taking pets for walks and playing with them, ensuring they have a friend while their families are away.
“Marissa was willing to move things around in your schedule to accommodate a super last minute need! Thank you!!”

“Emma watched our 2 dogs over the weekend and she was great! Loved getting photos of them with every visit and they seemed very happy and well taken care of when we got back from our trip. We will definitely reach out to Emma the next time we head out of town!”
About: I’ve loved dogs as long as I can remember! I grew up in a home with a German Shorthair Pointer and am comfortable with big dogs. Neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their dogs while on vacation or at work. I have also assisted the charitable organization Pets for Heros and have fostered dogs before they can be trained to help there new companions! "Pet care is a joyful and fulfilling part of my routine as a Rover dog walker. I love ensuring each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need every day." I will gladly send you picture and video updates of your dog! I am happy to play with them their favorite toys and be patient and playful with them on walks. I also don’t mind spending extra time to snuggle with them.
“Grace did a phenomenal job caring for my kitties! She gave insulin injections to my elderly cat. She was reliable and very kind. I will definitely have her care for them again in the future!”
“Super communicative! Took many photos during a drop in visit. Recommend and would rebook!”
About: I grew up taking care of our family’s black lab and my own leopard gecko and I regularly fed and sat for my neighbors’ cats while they were away. In college, I regularly sat for and walked several of my friends’ dogs. I am starting medical school in August 2025 and my schedule is more or less fully open until then! TBD what my schedule will look like once my classes start. I would be more than happy to take care of your pets as needed, whether it be providing them company, feeding them, walking them etc. :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was very young. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets. I’ve handled all sizes and energy levels—from playful puppies to slow-moving seniors. I’m calm, reliable, and always treat pets with kindness and patience. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first, and I’m always happy to follow any special routines or needs they have. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to give your pets lots of attention whenever they need it. I can do walks, drop-ins periodically through out the day. I’ll always keep you updated and make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away! I take pet care seriously and always aim to make your dog or cat feel safe and happy. In your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions, and keep everything clean and secure. If I’m caring for your pet in my home, I’ll give them a calm, loving environment with lots of attention. I’m also comfortable using crates, leashes, and giving medication if needed.
“Karina was a delight to work with. She was always very communicative and professional. I would recommend her to anyone, and I look forward to working with her again someday. Thanks, Karina!”

Allie H.
“As Allie’s parent, I can confidently say that animals have always held a special place in her heart. From a very young age, she’s had a natural bond with pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, baby chicks and ducks, even the occasional fish! Growing up in a home filled with animals, Allie learned early on how to care for them responsibly and lovingly. She is gentle, patient, and very attuned to the needs of each pet she meets which is probably why pets gravitate toward her. Whether it’s playing fetch in the yard, going on long walks, lots of petting, or simply sitting quietly with a kitten or anxious pup, Allie instinctively knows how to make animals feel safe and loved. She’s also reliable, detail-oriented, and takes her responsibilities seriously—which gives any pet parent peace of mind. Allie would be a wonderful companion to your furry family member, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a pet sitter or dog walker. Your pet will be in caring, capable hands!”

Charleston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Isaiah came to help us with our disabled senior dog. He was very kind and gentle with her. He did everything we asked him to do plus took her for a couple of walks in her stroller. The heat made it hard to do every day. Zoe was so at ease with him that she let him place her harness on her. She is very attached to her Daddy, who cannot take her out to potty due to recent surgery. We def hope to see Isaiah again soon!
Danielle was so wonderful with my dog. She took the instructions I provided and followed with great attention to detail and care. My dog truly loved the time she spent with her, and I felt she was in great hands during my time away. It’s always great to have someone you can trust with pets, and Danielle was such a great fit for my dog and I!
Cameron is the best! She has been super helpful as I raise my new puppy on my own. She is always on time and lets me know when she arrives and when she leaves. She also always sends me pictures which I love🥰 Cameron has also even been working with my puppy on things such as sit, stay, and lie down. I was super hesitant to just leave my “baby” with anyone but Cameron has been super trustworthy!
Claire was so loving towards our animals! We trust her with our crew of 4, one of which has special needs. We are so glad she's in Charleston!
Sarah saved me with stopping in and taking care of Bosco when I had a two day seminar! Sweet gal and reliable.
Made my first experience with Rover great. Took amazing care of my dogs and will definitely use again.
I’d highly recommend Grayson! She was very flexible making the process smooth. She was great with the dogs, overall great experience!
Joshua was great with our dog during a last minute request for in house checkins. He was communicative and responded quickly to messages. Our dog like him very much.
She was great ! Was on time and my dogs seemed to really enjoy her visits ! I will definitely use her again !
Kate was great, showed up on time and provided lots of pictures after!!! Definitely recommend. Thank you again!!
I had the absolute pleasure of having Christina and Russ watch my dog, Zorro, for four days, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention they gave him. From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and incredibly kind. They treated Zorro like he was their own, making sure he was happy, safe, and loved while I was away. It’s always nerve-wracking leaving your pet behind, but Christina and Russ made the entire experience stress free. I came home to a very content pup and could tell he’d been well taken care of. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate dog sitters. Zorro already misses them!
Rachel did an excellent job, we have a large crazy puppy and she took great care of her, 10/10 would recommend!
Elizabeth did a great job taking care of sirius! Really appreciate how much time she took to play with him!
Anna was great!! I went out of town to get engaged and she did an amazing job. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch my animals!!!
Riley was super sweet and did a wonderful job. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again.
As someone who travels frequently, finding a reliable and caring dog sitter is essential, and Brittany has been wonderful during my stay in Charleston ! She has taken wonderful care of my dog every time I’ve been away, providing regular updates and always making sure my pup is happy and well-cared for. Brittany is not only responsible and trustworthy but also genuinely loves animals, which gives me peace of mind. Highly recommend for your dog sitting needs :)
