“Alyssa was great with our German Shepherd! He was incredibly happy when we got home- he clearly enjoyed him time with her. She took him running, had no issues giving him medication and she even let him sleep with her. 5 stars all around. Her communication was great and we’ll definitely be using her again.”

“Kristin was great! She was available quickly for a meet n greet, was on time, and took great care of my 3 senior dogs. I definitely hope to use her services in the future.”


“Emma was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of both of my dogs while Lorena and I were away for a few days, and we couldn’t have felt more at ease. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves what she does. We got regular updates, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her. I would 100% recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


About: Hi, my name is Morgan and I would love to help you out! I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I recently joined Rover, however, I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life. I am always down to walk, play, hangout, and do whatever is needed. Also, I have fostered many animals before and know what it takes to be there. Don't hesitate to reach out! I am pretty flexible throughout the week and am able to dog walk/sit at different times throughout the day. My daily schedule changes day to day, however, I am still very flexible! I just love being around animals. It brings me so much joy to see them happy and running around! I always want to make sure they are comfortable and feel safe in their environment, weather that means hanging out with them the whole time or giving them space.
About: I have been surrounded by animals since being born! From horses, to bunnies, and even snakes! I absolutely adore animals and have a soft spot for them ALL, I myself have two dogs, a cat and a bunny who I love more than anything! I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, would just need a few days notice ahead of time so I can set a prioritized schedule for your baby! I will make sure that when I meet your pet, to let them get comfortable around me and feel safe first before any interaction so they don’t feel scared or anxious! It’s important to me that your pet feels comfortable with me, so I will work at their pace!
“Olivia was amazing with Fletch! She took him to the park and the beach on multiple occasions over a short weekend to get some exercise, shared multiple pictures of their adventures and we came home to a smiley doggie. She was very professional and communicative throughout I would highly recommend her!”


“Reagan was great! She sent plenty of photos and proivided updates on how everyone was doing. Very respectful of the house. When we got back, the animals were happy to see us, but did not act like they had been ignored, which is the best compliment I can give.”

“Jai did a great job pet sitting for our kitten and dog in our home while we were away for a few days! She was flexible with scheduling on short notice and was super understanding when our dog had some tummy troubles in the days leading up to her stay. Our pets are still young and can be a little challenging at times, but Jai was very accepting of their quirks and never made them seem like any trouble! She stayed from 7am to 10pm each day and sent regular updates and pictures/videos. Seeing our pets so relaxed and happy in their usual routines made us feel so comfortable that they were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, caring, and communicative in-home pet sitter and would happily have her pet sit for us again!”

“Laura was AMAZING with our energetic goldendoodle. He also loved playing with Tobe, who seemed super sweet and easygoing! Laura sent updates and our pup was super happy and relaxed when we returned. Laura also was flexible and able to stay one more night when we missed our connecting flight and got stuck in the airport overnight! 10/10 recommend her and would book her again if she is available.”

“We cannot be more grateful for the awesome care that G gave to Charlie while we were gone! It was especially important to us since our pup had an amputation recently. Charlie got lots of love, walks and play time with their dog Koda. We had a lot of updates and great communication. Bonus was we found out he was our neighbor!!! Highly recommend having G take care of your pup.”

“5 stars! Lauren is very dependable, prompt and the dogs loved her. It was so nice to take our first trip away since our move up here knowing our babies were well taken care of. She sent great pictures and communicated to ease our minds! Already booked her for our next trip.”

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.
“Chloe went above and beyond for my dog and provided excellent care. She was very communicative & alerted me when she felt something was wrong with my pup & even took her the vet as a result. Will definitely be using her again and appreciate the attentiveness and care that was provided for my dog.”

About: I have been around animals of all kinds since a young age and love interacting with pets. Many of my friends and family members have relied on me to stay overnight, drop in during the day, and play with their dogs and cats to ensure they are enriched with play time and are well taken care of. I love fur babies of all sizes and breeds! I grew up with 2 large Rottweilers Bear Puppy and Katie. 3 Shih Tzu’s Molly, Alley and Cash and 1 miniature schnauzer Nicholas. I’m currently working part time in Downtown Charleston. Mondays and Wednesday I have more flexibility before 1:00 pm because I work remotely. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I am available for any lunchtime walks, play dates, and all the fur baby love! While I wish I could bring your pets to my home, I do not have the proper safety precautions for doggies and my kitties are timid of visiting pets, so I want to respect their home. When it comes to going into the pets homes I will ensure that all dogs remain on their leash while on walks away from the home and in the yards of their homes unless there is proper fencing to keep them safe. And same goes for inside/ outside kitties. I want all pets I interact with to feel safe in their environment and comfortable with me caring and interacting with them!

Lauren was a fantastic dog sitter. She took great care of our three dogs, arrived on time, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. She was communicative, dependable, and respectful of our home. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her care and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Kelly was amazing with Chessie! She was super communicative throughout the stay, sent updates and photos, and clearly took great care of her. I could tell Chessie was happy and comfortable. She even treated her to a pup cup which was such a sweet touch 🥹 Highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Riley was amazing with Churro! He's kind of a nervous little guy but he warmed up to her right away. She took such good care of him, making sure he was getting enough water and of course enough treats! She was super communicative and sent lots of updates. I couldn't recommend her enough!!

Jorda did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away! My cat was happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated all the photo updates and her prompt, clear communication 😊 She also left my apartment in great condition. She went above and beyond helping with a couple unexpected things too, which I really appreciated! Would definitely book again 😊
