“Very glad to have found Jonathan and Carla to watch Evie for me! She started playing with their cute little pup when I dropped her off and I got updates with pictures of her while I was away! Evie definitely enjoyed her stay with them and was so happy while she was with them and when I picked her up! I would definitely recommend using them and will use them again!”
“Some people are just natural dog lovers and Kathryn and her family are ones. Felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with them and knew they were in good hands. Thank you!”
“Louie LOVES staying with Jennifer and her family! They take great care of him and send lots of updates and cute pictures! It has become his home away from home!”
About: I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for dogs, which means safety, reliability, and attention to detail are always my top priorities. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and providing extra patience and comfort. Having moved here from Philly, I truly miss having a dog of my own, so I treat every pet I care for like family. I’m calm, observant, and dependable, and I’m especially comfortable with routines, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra care or reassurance. Whether it’s walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off where I’m completely available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care.I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. As a nurse, I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I carefully follow all routines and instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s environment clean, calm, and familiar. In my home, pets are supervised, never left unattended for long periods, and kept in a secure, comfortable setting. I use leashes at all times outdoors unless otherwise instructed and avoid dog parks unless explicitly approved. I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

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.
“Kristen was wonderful! This was my first time using rover and she made me feel very at ease with lots of pictures and updates. Norman can be an anxious dog but he came home happy and calm, so I know he was well loved. Will be booking with Kristen again!”
“John was a fantastic sitter for my two dogs! Communication was great, I received pics/videos of the dogs while I was away and they were very happy! I’d highly recommend John’s services and will be re-booking in the future!”
“Our pup, Finley spent 2 weeks over the holidays with Abby and her family! She was amazing with frequent updates and pics that made us feel confident that Finley was having a great vacation too!”
“Natalie took excellent care of our anxious dog for a full week! We received daily pictures and updates of him on hikes and resting comfortably with Natalie and her dog. We will definitely use Natalie again and recommend to anyone!”
“As a first time Rover.com user, we were nervous about leaving our beloved Moose with just anyone. Natasha recommended a meet-and-greet, and meeting her in person and seeing Moose's interactions with her and her home put us at ease. From the daily pictures Natasha sent us, we knew Moose was happy and well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Natasha in the future.”
“Isabelle was perfect! I have a very large, old dog and she was as comfortable as could be staying with Isabelle. I received updates and photos. I will definitely be sending Mango to stay with Isabelle again!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Charleston is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charleston
Had a great experience with Amelia and Tyler. They were so understanding and flexible when it came to drop off and pick up times and we so appreciated it. They sent photos daily and I did not worry about Darcy being in their care at all. I would definitely rebook with them again.
Alyssa was so great with our golden retriever puppy!! It was our first time leaving him for the weekend and she made us feel so comfortable and made sure he was so well taken care of! He can be a ball of energy and Alyssa made sure he got enough exercise and shared photos and updates of all the fun they were having while we were away! We will definitely ask Alyssa to watch B again for our next trip!!
We were in town and needed a sitter with only a couple days to prepare. Jesse was available and very willing to take out little guy! He was great at communicating and meeting us on arrival and pickup. Grateful that Cheddar had a great stay with him and would definitely book again!
Brayden was awesome with my babies. When I picked them up they were so happy, I could tell they had a greak time with him. He was also able to take them running for some real exercise and not just a romp at the dog park. I know my Roxie is a little lightning rod, so he's more appropriated for her dealing with her non stop energy. If you're considering someone who's considerate and will care for your dogs as his own, look no further!
Shelby did an incredible job watching my dog, Franny! She sent me updates and pictures throughout the entire stay and made sure Franny got enough exercise and playtime. Franny had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave! I would definitely book with Shelby again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

There are 1,131 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Charleston. About 92% of Charleston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Every sitter 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
