Dog Walking in Charleston

About: If your pet loves attention, belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of photo updates, we’ll get along great! I grew up in Colorado with 4 dogs and a few cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. Outside of my own home, I have several years of hands-on experience working professionally with dogs, including volunteering with dog washing, puppy socialization, and even helping care for all kinds of animals on ranches! Through this, I’ve become comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience caring for cats through drop-in visits, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting all the attention they deserve while you’re away! I miss my pups from home, so I am ready to give yours a ton of love! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most time slots, including shorter visits or last-minute needs when possible. As long as we communicate ahead of time, I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone and their pets for drop ins and walks! I care for every pet the same way I care for my own, with lots of attention, patience, and love. I know how important it is to feel comfortable while you’re away, so I love to send tons of pictures and updates throughout the stay. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family!

About: I have experience helping take care of friends’ pets throughout high school by walking dogs, feeding them, and making sure they were comfortable and cared for while their owners were away. I love being around animals and have two dogs of my own, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention. I’m a college student staying here for the summer, and I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care whenever needed. I work part-time as a host, so in my extra time I’d love to spend it caring for pups! I’m a psychology major, so I really enjoy building connections with both people and animals. This is my first summer staying in Charleston, which means I have some extra free time and would love to explore the city while going on walks with dogs and spending time outside. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. Because I’m currently subleasing, I’m not able to bring animals into my home overnight, but I’m more than happy to stay at clients’ homes so pets can feel comfortable in their own space. I love going on walks, being active, and taking dogs on fun little adventures while always making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I want both pets and owners to feel comfortable and trust that their animals are in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I genuinely love spending time with dogs - whether that’s going on long walks, keeping them active, or even stopping to say hello to dogs in yards on my walks home (something I find myself doing at random homes downtown quite often). I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter, where I gained experience working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and creating a calm environment for every animal. As a natural animal lover I will always bring lots of care and attention to every walk or visit. I am very active, reliable, and detail-oriented. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I’m currently training to pursue a career in professional soccer! My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with times that works best for you! I will love up on your pup as if it were my own!! I’m happy to work with your/their preferences. Whether that means tossing a ball at the park or going for a long walk!

“Professional and accommodating for my 2 pups. They enjoyed their walks and were treated well. Handled a rough day phenomenally and kept me informed which is always appreciated.”

About: I grew up in a small town in South Carolina surrounded by animals and have cared for dogs and cats my whole life. Back home in the country, my family has always had several pets, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and giving lots of attention and affection. Since moving to Charleston, I’ve really missed being around animals, and I’d love the opportunity to help care for your furry best friends like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule and can easily make time for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and quality playtime with your pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, cuddles, or just someone dependable to keep them company, I’m happy to help! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m patient, attentive, and will always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow any care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your furry friends get plenty of attention and care.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my household my entire life and have always had a special place in my heart for animal care. Being so familiar with dogs, I am willing to adapt and learn how to take the best care for your animal. When I come to play, walk, and care for your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. Specifically growing up I’ve helped train two golden retrievers within my family. I’ve also dog sat for family friends and neighbors growing up and would love to help out any dog owners downtown that need an extra hand! I am currently living in Charleston as a full time CofC student and am available for drop ins and/or house sittings! I am pretty flexible and can take on last minute bookings. I’m currently a full time worker at a coffee shop, so my shifts are typically early morning to midday. I have the rest of my days free and would love to help out as much as I can! I walk daily and am very familiar with the neighborhood. I have a lot of flexible availability to go on long walks or multiple walks a day.

“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.”

“Catherine is the first person outside of family that I’ve trusted with my dog and I will definitely be trusting her again! She’s extremely communicative and good at following direction. Thank you, Catherine!!!!”

About: Growing up, animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. Over the years, I've also cared for cats and pet rabbits, so I'm comfortable meeting the unique needs of different pets and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a pet sitter, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of updates along the way. I am currently a college student and also babysit part-time, so my schedule offers flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is a perfect fit for me because I genuinely love animals and miss having them around since moving away from home for school. The breaks between classes and other commitments allow me to easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality care into my daily routine. I enjoy building pet care into my schedule and making sure each animal receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routine they're used to. In a client's home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any house rules or preferences. I know that consistency helps pets feel secure when their owners are away, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on each pet's personality and needs. Whether that's a long walk, a game of fetch, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I want both pets and owners to feel confident that they're receiving reliable and attentive care.

About: I have worked with dogs besides my own for 5+ years, wether that's overnight or day sitting, plus dog walks and short day checkins! I love animals and have owned 2 dogs since I was around 10, they have sadly passed but were loved dearly! I work a night shift Tuesday - Friday and would prefer not to do more than simple day check ins or dog walks on those days cause I need to sleep during the day! Saturday - Monday I am off and willing to work anytime! I follow what the pet owner does to a T, but also respect what the dog/cat might be telling me, if they need to go to the bathroom at a different time than planned, or want to play or anything I will always be attentive and listen!!

About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds for over a decade. I have cared for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, parrots, bunnies, and fish. I love animals and have a very open schedule, so I am looking to spend my time doing something i love- caring for animals! I have cared for animals of all personalities and types, and have experience handling medications and fixing invisible fences as well! Im currently a fresh grad and job searching so I can very flexible. I want to keep working while i search for my next move in life! I live in an apartment downtown, so I do not have a yard. That being said, it is better for me to house-sit than board, but I am open to boarding as i live near several parks like Marion square!

About: I have nearly a decade of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and repeat households. I’m especially experienced with adult dogs who thrive on routine and are comfortable being alone during the workday. I focus on consistency, calm care, and clear communication, and I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every home with respect. I work full-time during standard business hours and provide pet care before and after work, as well as overnight house sitting. I’m a great fit for pets that are comfortable being alone for 8–9 hours during weekdays. My mornings and evenings are dedicated to walks, feedings, playtime, and quality care, and I’m fully present in the home overnight. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm environment. I respect your home as if it were my own, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Merry Christmas! Hugo loves you!”

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.

“Rachel spent the week walking my dog, Bran, 2x/day. She did an excellent job. It was a crazy heat wave and my dog was a bit limp from the heat but she got him out and about at the park running around off leash. Thanks Rachel for doing a great job. Bran loves you!”

About: I currently travel for work and do odd jobs including private events and house cleaning. Because of my frequent travels, I am unable to have a pup of my own. I was raised around dogs my entire life. My 13 year old pitbull passed away 3 years ago and he was a handful but dog ownership is so rewarding. I love animals and have a lot of free time between seasonal jobs so I like to pet/house sit to keep busy. We are currently working odd jobs all over the Charleston area so we will have plenty of time to care for your pet. We are on a staycation between seasonal jobs at the moment and have a lot of spare time. We are better with routines and love a tidy space. I’m always super mindful of taking in the neighborhood so we are safe on walks.
