About: I've been actively caring for animals for more than 14 years :). Growing up, I regularly pet-sat for family friends, and my family often took in stray cats and litters of kittens, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. Today, I have three cats of my own and continue to pet sit for friends and family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or extra patience and attention, I'm committed to providing loving and reliable care while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a full-time job with a very flexible hybrid schedule. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I can work from anywhere, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care, check-ins, walks, or companionship throughout the day. I currently specialize in occasional bookings, vacation care, and drop-in visits. At this time, I’m not accepting recurring weekly walking schedules. I'm also fully available on weekends. At home, I care for my three cats with my partner, which allows me the flexibility to accommodate pet sitting while ensuring every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to keeping them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you're away. I provide care that is tailored to each pet’s needs and routine, whether in my home or in a client’s home. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away, along with regular updates for peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. I ensure they are supervised, given a consistent routine, and treated like part of the family. I currently have three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to create a clean, low-stress space where animals feel secure and cared for.
“I stayed 4 days in Charleston for a quick work trip. Relada is gold! She is peace of mind. Right away I knew my baby fur was going to be in great hands. I ended calling Relada the dog whisperer, it seems she knew exactly what my dog liked and didn't. She took take care of my dog needs and more. I will hire her on my next trip to town in a heart beat!”
“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 pet sat in highschool, taking care of dogs and cats. I had 6 dogs and 3 cats growing up, which taught me how to love and care for animals of different temperaments and ages. Having grown up riding horses and learning from my aunt, who works as a vet, I can promise safety and thoughtful care. I currently have an Australian shepherd puppy of my own as well! Im currently taking the time to study for my nurses aid state board exam and am not employed. My schedule is very flexible and open! I need about an hour in the morning and evening to walk/feed my dog, but am available otherwise! I have two separate homes to offer care at for your dog(s), both with fenced in yards and plenty of room to run! I have a large crate with a comfy bed inside if needed, and an abundance of toys. At client’s homes, I will follow instruction, be respectful of your living space and make sure to love on your pet!!
“Kristin walked Tucker on Halloween night during one of my shifts. She left great notes of the walk and took cute pictures! She’s very responsive and I can tell she loves dogs. Will definitely be booking for future walks!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
About: I have had a dog my whole life and can’t imagine life without one! I recently became my family dogs primary caregiver when I moved out! Best decision ever, we have such a fun little life together!! I also dog sit for multiple friends and neighbors and have since I was 10, including overnight stays or just talking them for walks/feeding. I am a nurse so I work 3, 12 hour shifts a week so I have lots of free time during the week. I usually go on a walk once a day so why not bring a little friend along! I have a Boston terrier who is very friendly and loves all kinds of dogs. I take him out every 2-4 hours on his leash down the block and then usually one longer walk a day depending on the heat. I do allow him and other dogs on the couch and have room for them to roam around inside!
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'm currently working part=time, so I will have plenty of time to look after your pets. I love to be active and outside, so walks and playtime will be plenty. I have a fenced in yard and live in a safe neighborhood. In your home, I will make sure your pets are comfortable and areas remain clean.
“Karrigan has quickly become our go-to overnight sitter and daily dog walker. She sends pics, writes sweet notes about Tucker, and has been super communicative and wonderful. We’ll continue booking her regularly to take care of our pup!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I work from home so I am fully available during the week and the weekends and I’m flexible with any schedule that my customers need. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly French bulldog to give your pet some company and I can create your dog any time if needed.
“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’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, ranging from energetic puppies to calm seniors, and everything from small breeds to large ones. That variety has taught me how to adjust my approach with puppies vs older dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and just being attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I have a very flexible schedule right now with lots of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or boarding stays on short notice, and can adjust easily around your pet’s routine and any specific timing needs you have. I live in a house without a yard, so daily walks are part of our routine to make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I don’t currently have a crate on hand, but I’m attentive and hands-on, giving your pet my full focus without other pets around to compete for attention.

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
- 98% 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.
