“Savannah was great; easy to communicate with and provided great updates at each visit with a bunch of photos! I truly appreciate her care with Baki. Also wanted to point out that I had booked every last minute due to circumstances and Savannah was super accommodating. Overall wonderful experience with Savannah, I definitely recommend her services.”
“Chloe did an amazing job!! We will be using her again! We had a last-minute flight cancellation and Chloe responded to me right away that she could watch my cats for an additional day. Her responses were timely and she left the house clean and tidy! Thanks so much, Chloe!!”
“I cannot say enough about how amazing Kathy is!! We travel for work and Kathy has taken care of our cats while we are out of town for the past 2.5 years. She responds so quickly, is easy to work with, sends pictures and detailed updates of her visits, and is just overall so kind and so wonderful to work with! She’s even been on “standby” when we weren’t sure if we’d be able to make it home from a trip. Amazing service!! Can not recommend her enough!!! We moved out of state and I know we will never find anyone as amazing as Kathy to take care of our kitties! Thank you Kathy!!”
“I have been using Richard for several months now & it was such a relief to find someone with such a consistent schedule to come daily and let out my two mid-sized dogs. I always get a few pictures and updates & he seems to truly enjoy the dogs and their quirks! He is reliable, a great communicator & has also now become my go-to for when I travel - a great dog sitter all around (even gives my elderly dog her medicine and knows when to carry her on the steps when it looks like her joints are hurting her). Wonderful dog sitter, so caring- highly recommend!”
“Atiyana took excellent care of our fur-babies while we were away. She attended to them at the same time each day (which is nice because they could look forward to a set routine and feeding schedule) and was responsive to a special request we had during our trip. Highly recommend!”
“Barbara is so amazing and sweet. She took such great care of our pups and I felt good with them in her hands.”
“Jensen was absolutely phenomenal. She took care of our 5 year old high energy labradoodle. Her communication is great! I can tell she really cares about animals and their wellbeing. We will be using Jensen again!”
“Sara has been incredible!! Teddy loved his visits and she was so accommodating with my schedule. This was my first experience with my own inside dog, and I was a bit anxious figuring out the best care for Teddy. Sara was so sweet and helpful. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve been using Anna for the last month to care for my elder cat in comfort care. Anna is a true animal lover and I feel totally at ease knowing Holland is well taken care of. Initially meeting Anna she asked smart questions to make sure she had his medications in line and this was so appreciated. Her visits are timely, she’s reliable, trustworthy and I highly recommend her services. Reach out to her for sure!”
“Valeri did a great job taking care of our little pup two nights in a row. We will definitely make arrangements with her on our next trip to Charleston.”
About: I’ve had dogs/animals my entire life and just moved back to CHS from NYC as I work remotely. Now just looking to connect with animals & the city again through Rover. I started using Rover in 2023, but I have also volunteered in shelters, house+dog sat for friends on vacation, continuously walked neighbors dogs, done house calls for daily care of cats and am also a certified service dog sitter! I currently work the classic 9-5 during the week, but as a remote employee my schedule is very flexible! I have mostly available weekends and am flexible to work with whatever schedule necessary for you. While my house is super pet friendly (ie furniture) I respect all house boundaries you have in place and will be sure to align all work with your comfort level.
About: Hi, I’m Jess! I’ve worked as a kennel assistant, fostered pets for years, and volunteered with animal shelters and vet outreach programs. I’m all about making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with all kinds of pets. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re in good hands! Pet care fits into my schedule really well! I’m free throughout the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I’m available before 3 PM on Mondays and after 8 PM. On Wednesdays, I'm free before 12 PM and after 4:45 PM. I’m also available all day on Fridays and weekends, so I’m flexible for walks, drop-ins, and sittings when you need me! I provide care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable and relaxed in their own environment. I follow all instructions carefully, making sure pets stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I focus on keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands!
“Brooke H was amazing to work with! She watched my two cats while I was away on vacation. She sent updates as well as pictures! I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old for neighbors and friends, so I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Because I currently work part-time in research, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend extra quality time with the pets I care for. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always consider each pet’s unique personality and needs, creating a safe and loving environment where they feel right at home. I currently work part-time in research, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I’m available for boarding, walking, and/or caring for your pet(s) any day of the week, preferably the weekends. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs! I can provide a safe, comfortable, and loved environment while caring for your pets in my home. I follow each pet’s specific routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any medication needs. I also make sure they get lots of enrichment and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I keep things clean, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and always prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.
“Lizzy watched my kitten Stella the first time I went away, she was great with her! She was super friendly and helpful, provided daily updates not only on how Stella was doing but also the kitchen reno I was having done. She went above and beyond expectations - 10/10 would recommend! Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life and I give them so much love. I love going on walks, playing with them, and cuddling. I will also make sure your dog or cat stays busy with something fun! I’m a student at the College of Charleston and a Starbucks barista! Some days are busier than others, but we can discuss and make things work! I currently live in an apartment on the Peninsula so your pet may stay at my apartment or I can take care of them in your home. I would ensure that your pet is well fed, is taken out every few hours, and has some play-time!
“Izabella was great! She was timely and super communicative. She sent so many photos which I love when being away from my cat. I knew Stevie was in good hands while I was gone and I would definitely book Izabella again!”
“Super communicative! Took many photos during a drop in visit. Recommend and would rebook!”
“Grace did a phenomenal job caring for my kitties! She gave insulin injections to my elderly cat. She was reliable and very kind. I will definitely have her care for them again in the future!”

“Jessica is amazing. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. From the moment they met, I could tell he felt comfortable with her, which doesn’t always happen. She kept me updated with photos and little messages, and I never once had to worry while I was away. When I got back, he was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again.”
