“Christina loved our dogs and gave them the attention they needed while we were away. We would trust her to watch our furry babies again. I loved receiving pics and knew they were being taken care of.”

About: I've always had a connection with animals. I know how to give medications as needed. I've always been asked to pet sit since I was 10. I currently work full-time as a front desk receptionist at a hotel. I used to own my pet sitting business but life happened and COVID happened so I had to go back to work full-time. I have been wanting to pick back up pet sitting because it made me happy. I work afternoons 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm so I could check in before and after work. Or if staying in your home then I'd be gone for 8 hours if I'm working during that time. Either way, I'll be present and loving the whole time I'm there. I will follow whatever instructions you leave me. Plus, help them feel loved while you're away. There will be no worry because they will be in good care.
“Shannon is awesome. Our dogs said so! She not only just cares for the dogs she does other little things like change the Rumba bin. She is great and will book her again. Thanks Shannon!”

“Kelcie did so well with Enzo. He’s a dog with trust issues but warmed up to Kelcie quickly. Kelcie was great at communicating if she had to stop in later than usual and she took such good pictures of Enzo. I think they really grew attached to each other during the months I spent in Knoxville. We will surely miss her!”

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and family pets since I was 10 years old, giving me over 30 years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can handle daily walks, feedings, playtime, and bathing, and I treat every pet like a beloved member of the family. work full-time but usually finish by 3pm, which gives me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. I’m fully available all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and can also provide weekend boarding. I have a safe home environment and a sweet toy poodle who enjoys walks and companionship. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and always treat them like part of the family.
About: I have had decades of experience walking and caring for dogs, cats, frogs, lizards, turtles, parrots, poultry and more. I have taken care of big dogs and little dogs, cats and kittens. I am familiar with giving medications to animals, as well. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am a licensed paramedic and educator just earning extra income. I keep parrots and poultry currently with cats and dogs. I have had had herps and reptiles in the past, as well. I will treat your pets like they were my own. I know the anxiety of having to leave pets to get out of town and will do everything I can to make sure you don't regret it.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk and i’ve loved every minute of it! I can care for your young fur babies and your senior fur babies!

About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.

About: Hi! I’m Lyndsey and I was a veterinary technician for 4 years, but have been dog sitting full time for the past 3+ years. I also have my own licensed dog boarding business, and do Rover on the side when I have availability! My husband and I live in Athens,TN. We have about 5 acres of land fenced in. We love getting to meet all kinds of different dogs, and having them interact with my kids. I’m home pretty much all the time so I never have to crate unless they sleep in one at night. I have clients that have been returning since 2019. I have 2 little girls, and all the dogs I’ve watched have been great with them! During all of the stays for the dogs I watch I provide homemade treats, and toys to play with. I hope to watch your fur baby real soon! ❤️ So I’m available any weekend or weekday to dog sit your sweet fur babies! I will make sure they are in great hands! Look forward to meeting new clients! I’m able to administer any medications you may need for your fur baby! I’m currently home 24/7 unless I have doctor appts, or have to run a few errands. So your dog wouldn’t ever need to be crated unless you have them sleep in one at night. I can also admin meds if they require to have any during the day. I have a fenced in yard that wraps around my whole house, and also send pics throughout the day how they are doing. They have plenty of room to play as well.

“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”

About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently living in Ooltewah, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Charleston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Charleston choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Charleston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
