About: I’ve been around animals my entire life—starting with two sweet black labs, Quarter and Ruby, who were part of my childhood pack. We also had a sassy long-haired mini dachshund named Daisy, who ruled the house. These early experiences taught me how to feed, care for, and understand dogs of all sizes and personalities. Today, I’m the proud “fun dog aunt” to my siblings’ pups: Bentley (a lab/Rottweiler mix), and Lemon (a long-haired mini dachshund). Our family recently adopted Lemon’s parents too, so I’ve seen it all from puppies to seniors, big breeds to little ones. I’ve dog-sat for friends and family countless times and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just a cuddle on the couch, your pet will be treated like family. I’m currently in school full-time to become a CRNA, which means I’m often studying during the day, but the beauty of that is flexibility! I’m typically in Mount Pleasant, downtown Charleston, Isle of Palms, or James Island, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Study breaks are perfect for walks, playtime, or home visits. Just let me know what your pet needs, I’m happy to work around it! Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I follow feeding and medication instructions closely, make sure pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe areas, and maintain a calm, structured environment. I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine, and I send frequent photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy and cared for. I treat every dog like my own (if I had one!), and I’ll make sure yours feels loved and secure while you’re away.

About: I can get up multiple times a night to take out a younger or older dog if overnight sitting. I am able to administer medications in the form of pills, flea and tick medication and take your pup on multiple walks a day to their favorite places! I will maintain any diet you have set along with a food schedule. I am available both weekdays and weekends as I am looking for a full-time job at the moment. Therefore, I have lots of time to spend with your pet! My pets at home roam the house and are trained to go outside without a leash. I can crate your dog, take them on numerous walks a day, and even for a car ride with the windows down to some of their favorite spots.


“We just finished a five night stay for our senior dog, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! She came home calm, content, and well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Lisa was fantastic. She was attentive, kind, and clearly has a way with older dogs. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. Highly recommend!”



“Stella is always thrilled to hear she is going to see Mandie! She pulls me on the leash to get to see her. Stella always has a blast and you can tell she is well cared for!”


About: i’m 23 years old and have been volunteering at animal shelters since I was younger and I’ve always had a passion for taking care of all kinds of animals to make them feel loved. I work from home most days, except for one to two days a week. I like to go on walks daily after my 45 minute Pilates classes that I take after work (would love a buddy for those). I currently live in an apartment complex, but my apartment is fairly large and is on the first floor, so lots of room to walk around and explore. I do also have a dog park pen super close to my apartment unit, as well as lots of room to take the pet on a walk.

“Kristin was fantastic. She came through bigtime but agreeing to pick up Rosie and then provide updates every day. When I came to pick up Rosie, my pup kept pawing at her legs--clearly they connected. I full recommend her!”


About: With a decade of unwavering dedication to canine care, I bring a wealth of experience and a versatile skill set to every dog I have the pleasure of sitting and walking. My journey in this field has honed my ability to understand each dog's unique personality, needs, and preferences. From exuberant puppies to wise seniors, I've nurtured and cared for them all, while also mastering the art of training, grooming, and creating a safe and joyful environment. Trust in my commitment to providing the utmost care for your furry family member. Pet care is seamlessly woven into both my daily and weekly routines. Each morning, I begin by ensuring pets are fed, watered, and comfortable. I dedicate ample time for walks, playtime, and companionship. Throughout the day, I monitor their well-being, administer any necessary medications, and maintain their living space. Weekly, grooming sessions, training exercises, and quality bonding moments are key components. My commitment to their happiness and health is a constant, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience for both me and the pets I care for. when caring for pets in my own home, they receive top-notch treatment and attention. I've created a pet-friendly environment that includes comfortable sleeping areas, designated play zones, and outdoor spaces for exercise. Daily routines consist of feeding, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I ensure any specific dietary needs or medical requirements are followed diligently.

“Nicole was amazing to our little Ruby. She updated us throughout the day with messages and photos. She took her on frequent walks and was a great sitter! Also her cat Kala was perfect with Ruby too. We would recommend her over and over again.”



“Shelby was fantastic! She sent photos and updates and let us know that Pru was getting comfortable and making herself at home. Cannot recommend her enough if you want your pup to have a great time while you remain worry free.”

Caroline B.Star Sitter
“Caroline has dog-sat Bentley countless times, and he lights up the second he sees her. She’s taken him for long walks, to the beach, and even treats him to surprise pup cups (he knows exactly what’s up when he gets in her car). She has a big fenced backyard that’s perfect for running around, and she makes sure he gets plenty of exercise and attention. As a large breed mix, Bentley needs someone confident and caring—Caroline is both. She’s incredibly responsible and truly loves dogs.”

Charleston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Skylar was amazing! She took great care of my dog Marley and she made him feel welcomed in her home. Her dog Goose was a welcome companion for Marley. She provided daily updates with pictures! I could tell by the pictures Marley was having a great time. Definitely will reach out to Skylar when I need to be out of town again!

Our two small dogs loved their stay with Haley! We feel like your dogs would enjoy their stay with her too! She provided ours with excellent attention and care. She offered great communication throughout their stay, as well as offering to meet our dogs (and us) before we left town. We look forward to booking with Haley again.

Kristen took great care of our girl, Sky, while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was very calm and happy when we picked her up. Kristen was responsive and sent us picture updates a couple times a day. Sky loved her downtown walks and hanging with the gals. Will definitely reach out to Kristen again :)

Emily was a wonderful dog sitter to our English setter Harper! She sent pics and I can tell Harper was loved and cared for while we were away! Emily is very sweet and responsible. I highly recommend leaving your pet with her! She will take great care of your fur baby

This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous to leave my dog with a stranger, but Drew was so trustworthy and took care of her like her own pet. Drew sent pictures and updates so I knew my dog was well cared for and comfortable. Drew was flexible and accommodating of our drop off and pick up times which I appreciated. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!

I was comfortable with Kelsey from the moment I met her and I fully trusted her with our dog! She was super communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures while we were away. She treated our dog like her own and I know they had a lot of fun together. Would definitely use her again!
