About: I’ve grown up rescuing dogs and cats while also consistently volunteering at various animals shelters. I’ve been a pet sitter for a while! I’m currently waiting until the fall to start my job and will be working part time as a personal trainer until then giving me lots of availability and flexibility to take care of your pets! I’m very understanding of different pets needs and rules that you may have for your pet and can be very flexible to make sure that your pet is perfectly cared for!
“Calleigh did a great job walking my two big dogs and even sent a picture. She was really nice about my schedule changes and worked around my schedule. I will definitely book Calleigh's services again!”
“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’m not a professional trainer, but I’ve watched dogs of all sizes and take outside time and potty breaks seriously — your dog won’t be left waiting. I’m good at reading dog body language and careful not to put them in situations that could escalate, whether that’s around other dogs or unfamiliar people. I’m also patient with puppies and comfortable with their extra energy and training needs. Your dog will get consistent care and my full attention. I’m currently pursuing a meal prep hustle, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home, perfect for attentive, consistent pet care. I’m not tied to a 9-5, so I can accommodate midday potty breaks, longer visits, or last-minute needs without any scheduling conflicts. Your pet gets someone who’s actually around and available, not squeezing in visits between meetings. I live in a house downtown with an unfenced yard, so for dog walks and potty breaks I’m always right there with them on leash to keep them safe. My own cat is very friendly and comfortable around dogs. If I’m caring for other cats, I prefer to house sit at the client’s home so there’s no risk of conflict or stress for either cat. Whatever the service, your pet gets a safe, calm environment and my full attention.
“Relada was absolutely amazing! We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to walk and watch our pups so we could have a nice dinner out. She was super flexible and let us take extra time when dinner when longer than expected. Relada was patient and kind to our puppies and also helps donate and work with getting dogs spayed and neutered. She did a great job. We are beyond happy!”
“Lena is great with communication! She is so accommodating, timely, and my crazy high energy puppy loved her! She went above & beyond in helping me with caring for her.”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner and sitter since I was very young. Neighbors and friends have been able to rely on me to walk, feed, and pick up after their pets. I love spending time with animals and hope to provide a bright and loving environment for your fur babies! I work full-time on Daniel Island so drop-in visits or walks outside of work hours might work best! Happy to pop in at lunch time if the commute isn't too far as well! Would love to do what I can to make your pet comfortable with a new person in their space. Happy to meet with you before booking and take your pets' lead!
“Mary is the sweetest dog walker. She took care of my girl Jewel beyond what I hoped for during their hour long walk. Would use again. she came earlier than scheduled when I suggested it might rain later and that meant everything cause my dog doesn’t like the rain.”
“I was very nervous to use Rover but since I have to stay late at work occasionally, I wanted an option for my dog. Sam has been so great with Charlie. He’s very flexible and communicative. He’s been letting her out once a week and it’s really put my mind at ease. He always sends me a picture and gives me a little update. He was also very patient and understanding of me being nervous to let someone else take care of my dog. I know my dog Charlie really likes him as well.”
“Thank you for everything you did for Brody!! Thank you so much for filling in at short notice. You did great!! I look forward to working with you in the future! Emma is such a delight and kind soul! I felt good leaving my little guy with her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charleston
Bryan was exceptionally kind, patient, super caring, and every other positive thing that I could wish for. Maisie & Emmie have trauma histories, with currently differing levels of reactivity. Maisie went right to Bryan for head pats! Bryan patiently waited to go Emmie's pace. Within 1 visit, he was lounging against Bryan while receiving genuinely loving belly rubs, as Bryan used his other arm to throw the ball. It was miraculous to see because E can take a while to warm. I am absolutely overjoyed with Bryan's services, and we are so excited to have him come back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Charleston on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,619 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Charleston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Charleston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Charleston.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charleston. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
