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.

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!

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.

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!

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: My chef husband and 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. We both love animals and have a lot of free time between seasonal jobs so we 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.

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’m a lifelong animal lover and proud cat + dog mom who truly treats every pet like my own. What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience with dogs of every life stage — from tiny puppies to wise seniors. I used to breed dogs, so I’m very comfortable with young litters, potty training, socialization, and all the playful chaos that comes with puppies. On the other end, I cared for my own dog through her golden years until she was nearly 14, so I know how to give seniors the gentle care, extra patience, and comfort they deserve. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy who needs structure, a senior who just wants soft bedding and slow walks, or a cat who prefers calm companionship and playtime on their terms, I bring patience, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m based in Charleston and love exploring local spots for safe, enriching walks and adventures. Most importantly, your pets will feel safe, loved, and well-cared for — because to me, they’re family too. I am currently working but I have off every Wednesday and a few Monday and Fridays. I would love to do this full time eventually. I will make sure to follow your specific instructions for your individual pet needs. Every dog and/or cat will be treated like my own.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals. I have a cat of my own who is 8 years old and loves to play! I’m a nurse and will take great care of your animals! I work only three days a week as a nurse and would have time on my days off to do drop in visits for pets! I care for my pet by providing regular food and water, giving them exercise, providing a clean litter box, and making sure there are no hazards.

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I have had atleast one dog growing up at all times - I'm a huge dog lover! From walking/feeding/grooming neighborhood dogs, to boarding family and friends' dogs while they're on vacation, I definitely have a lot of experience with all different types of pups! I currently work as a registered nurse, so I have 4 days of off-time during the week. My schedule is very flexible and I am always willing to work with you if things change. I currently live in an apartment building that is very spacious and includes a dog park in the complex. I am on the first floor and have a lot of green and outdoor areas around me that I can use to walk and play with your pup!

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.

About: I grew up with 7 dogs and 4 cats, so caring for pets is basically 2nd nature to me. About 3 years ago I adopted a senior dog of my own and she is still kicking it! Having a senior dog coming from an abusive background has taught me a lot patience with pets. I also have a cat! Miso is 6 years old and I’ve had her since she was just a baby. I am always willing to adapt to any animal’s habits. When I take care of your pet, I will dedicate all of my time to loving them! Tuesdays and Thursday you can find me doing hair, but any other day I am free! My schedule is flexible so I can accept last minute bookings. When I am in your house, I will do anything to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I would love to take them for walks, sit outside, play, or anything you might do to keep them happy!
