About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love caring for them. I have years of experience pet sitting and walking dogs for friends, and I also have my own dog, a 3-year-old miniature dachshund named Goose who’s friendly, outgoing, and full of energy. I understand the importance of trust, routine, and a loving touch when it comes to caring for your furry family members. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, some playful exercise, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and well-loved. I can’t wait to meet your dog and give them the attention they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely with extremely flexible hours, which allows me to prioritize the needs of your pet. With just a couple of days' notice, I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure I’m available to provide the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I’m always happy to make time for your furry friend! When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation with long walks around the city, just like I do with my own dog. I also love taking dogs to the beach or on scenic trails, always tailoring the activity to their size, energy level, and preferences. While I don’t have a yard, I make up for it with frequent outdoor adventures and plenty of attention indoors. When caring for pets in your home, I’m equally comfortable adapting to their routine. Growing up with family land, I’m very familiar with letting dogs play in yards, throwing a ball, or simply enjoying safe outdoor freedom. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide personalized, attentive care to make your dog feel right at home.

“G (Sangram) is great! From the moment we met, it was clear that he had a genuine love for dogs. I highly recommend G to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enthusiastic dog walker! Will definitely book again!”


About: I have owned and cared for dogs of all breeds throughout my life, understanding all necessary obligations. I have also taught basic training to puppies. My schedule varies from week to week, but I update my schedule and can almost always find time for drop ins or walks for your pets! I love long walks and spending time outside. I would love to have a fur baby as company, whether it’s playing outside, at the dog park, or a walk around Charleston.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up with a yellow lab, a rescue pup, french bulldog husky mix, and a chug (chihuahua pug mix,) along with a couple cats! Once I got into high school and college, I began dog sitting for family friends, and then it grew to word of mouth, dog sitting nearly every other week. I am currently working from home everyday. I am able to check in on your animals before work, during the day (couple times if needed), and then after work as needed. On weekends, I am free when I am in town to spend whatever needed time. I would care for your pets like they’re my own. I moved from Maine about 3 years ago, therefor I miss my parents animals dearly and would love to play and care for your animals like my own to fill that void.

About: I have 2 senior dogs, I've raised a very well trained and friendly puppy, I've helped train and sit my family and friends dogs, and I've walked the dogs in my neighborhood since I was a young girl. I currently work part time as a swim instructor but my schedule is flexible and I want to make as much time as I can to help care for your pets. Depending on what your pet needs I spend as much time as I can out with your pets, as well as crating them if needed.

“My family and I would definitely recommend Annabelle's dog walking services. From the start, she was very clear in her communication, asked great questions and was flexible and receptive to side notes I needed to add day of. I couldn't ask for a more professional, kind, and approachable sitter for my babydog. Thank you Annabelle, we'll be booking you again! :)”


About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life! There was never a moment growing up where we didn’t have a house pet. I grew up on a farm so while I’m versed in cats and dogs, I also have experience with cows, horses, and chickens! Most of our pets have lived well into their teen years so I have great experience with senior animals, including lightly exercising them and administering medications! I’m currently working part-time and my schedule is pretty flexible, I will always make time to ensure that your pets are well taken care of and safe! I do live in an apartment, however, there’s plenty of public parks around me where I can take your dog walking/running. We do have a cat in the apartment, but he loves all animals and loves spending his time with other cats and dogs!

About: I am an animal lover! I grew up with dogs and love taking care and playing with them🐾 I love to go on walks around downtown and colonial lake area! I don't have the ability to own my own pet so I would love to take care of yours! I am in dental school and I have a very flexible schedule that changes day to day! I often have last minute cancellations in my schedule that allow for last minute pet drop ins/ walks. I love to go on walks and would love to take your dog on a nice walk around town! I am also available to take care of or play with your pet in your home.

“Relada is hands down the best pet sitter I have encountered. I was in from out of town and she was completely flexible when we got to town in early and ended up late at dinner. My dog adores her. I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for care.”


“I started having Amy come and help me take care of my "Frankie". She has so far been very reliable and she sends me messages and pictures with each one of her visits. I'm sure Frankie is very happy to see her come so she can play with him and let him go potty. He hasn't complained yet!!”


About: As someone who has had dogs their whole life dog sitting and walking has been a new joy in my life!! I have dog sat for multiple families on many occasions and have wanted to take this passion down to charleston!! I am a sophomore at Cofc looking to make some extra money and there’s no better way to do it than this!!! I have class a few times a week and some sorority commitments but otherwise am very open and am available every day of the week!! I won’t be having any animals in my room since i’m living on campus with a roommate! But I am open to house sitting if that is necessary

“Dakota has done a great job walking our retriever puppy. It takes patience as he likes to stop and look around at the world. Dakota even walked our pup for an hour in rain that turned into a downpour. Our pup loves Dakota!! He runs to greet Dakota!! Feel good having Dakota walk him. He is conscientous.”


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.

About: I have grown up around lots of animals, and I find happiness and comfort with any type of furry friend! I currently have a puppy and I know how stressful or demanding it may seem. I can reassure you that I handle any pet with the best care and I am here to help. It’s not always easing changing lifestyles and getting a new pet and I understand how it feels. It is important to give all animals loving treatment. Having a puppy has taught my patience, awareness, and structure which is how I would handle caring for any animal. Exercise, routine, playtime, and love is of the essence when caring for dogs. I can follow any feeding schedule and be there on time to help you out. I am home most of the time or taking care of my own pets. I am available pretty much anytime during the day and any day of the week. If you are working late I am available to take your pup out or feed your cat. I have a car and assure you I will be on time for any task. I give both of my pets lots of love and attention, I love spending time with my pets and making sure they are taking care of. I am able to walk, visit, or feed any pet. Giving my pets love means giving other peoples pets love because it can be difficult not being around your pet/owner and I am here to alleviate some of that stress. I take care of my pets with diligence and will do the same for you!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m reliable, gentle, and pay close attention to your pet’s needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s giving meds, keeping a consistent routine, or just offering lots of snuggles, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away!! I'm a junior in college with a very flexible schedule, and I’m home often and have plenty of free time during breaks. I love being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are a fun part of my day. I’m also happy to relax with pets who just need company and cuddles! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always believe that consistency is key and aim to follow their routine closely so their environment is calm and comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, and always clean up after myself and the pets.

About: I have always had multiple dogs in my household since I was little, so caring for them is second nature to me!! I love dogs of all kind and will always give my full attention and care. Over the past year, I have fostered several dogs and am familiar with many different breeds, temperaments, and needs! I am currently a student at the College of Charleston, and outside of going to class, my schedule is very flexible! I don’t have another job, so caring for your pups is something I prioritize in my daily routine! I am comfortable with caring for pets inside and outside of my home and will always cater to all your dogs potential needs! I take my time to build trust and love between each pup while maintaining a calm environment!

Skylar C.Star Sitter
“I highly recommend Skylar as a dog sitter! She has watched my dog, Poopy, on multiple occasions, and every time, he returns happy and well cared for. She takes him on long walks, ensures he's fed well (with her famous, homemade chicken dog biscuits), and is always attentive to his needs. Poopy absolutely loves spending time with her dog, Goose, and it's clear that he has a blast playing and socializing with him. Last time he stayed with her, I even got some hilarious videos of Poopy and Goose having a dress-up party! I have complete peace of mind knowing that Poopy is in capable hands when he stays with Skylar. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares for dogs and provides excellent care, she's the one to go to!”

Charleston dog parents share their Rover experiences
I recently had a baby and was unable to walk my dog for a two week period. Given he is accustomed to several walks a day, this was really a big challenge. Brooke came 2x a day for two weeks straight rain/shine/cold didn't matter! She was wonderful and Tucker fell in love with her. She was always on time and did the full 30+. HUGE HELP! Would use again for sure!! Thank you!
