About: Im a veterinary technician with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors and pets with medical needs. What sets me apart is my medical background—I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for health or behavior changes, and providing attentive, knowledgeable care. I prioritize safe handling, routine, and low-stress care, and I tailor my approach to each pet’s individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I’m used to following specific instructions and routines from my work as a veterinary technician, and I prioritize punctuality, communication, and flexibility to meet each pet’s needs throughout the day and week. client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, litter box, and medication instructions carefully, and I take time to monitor behavior and overall health.

I provide plenty of enrichment, attention, and comfort, and I keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs of many different sizes. From puppy's to senior dogs they're all no problem. I've also given medications to dogs to. I'm currently available to look after your pets on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at anytime. I would like a day in advance so I have time to prepare. I have three cats and a dog.

I have no problem with giving medications to any animal. I don't mind what size or how old the animal is I think they all deserve great care.
“Michelle was amazing! She updated me every time she did anything for the cats which made me feel like they were in good hands. She did housesitting for us & she cleaned up everything before leaving. The sheets were by the laundry room, kitchen was cleaned up, etc. Will be booking with her in the future! My cats absolutely loved her.”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have plenty of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I have horses of my own and have cared for everything from horses and donkeys to dogs, cats, and even fish. I also have two dogs of my own: a giant Goldendoodle (and I mean GIANT lol!) and a little wiener dog, along with two cats, a Maine Coon and a white shorthair. In addition to caring for my own pets, I take care of my boss’s two dogs every day at work, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I also have lots of experience looking after other people’s animals, from the tiniest pups to the biggest dogs and everything in between!

I know everyone has different routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate you and your furry friends! Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, a walk, or a longer stay, feel free to reach out and we can figure out what works best for everyone! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care because I feel the exact same way about my own! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or just their favorite little routines! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets with the same love and care I give my own!

Katherine, Cared for our cat exceptionally well. She went above and beyond with keeping her fed and watered (our sassafras cat-who runs the house) is very picky). She updated us after every visit, I would recommend her and will absolutely rebook with Katherine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 230 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Charleston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
