About: I have never spent a single day of my life without an animal by my side. Growing up, our home was a lively sanctuary for everything from dogs (large and small) and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens. Currently, my days are filled with loving my own large dog and black cat, as well as regularly stepping in to care for family dogs. While my background is rooted in deep, personal pet parenting rather than professional kennel work, it means your pets will be treated exactly like family. đââŹđđ I maintain a flexible schedule and am available for care most days of the week. I can easily fit your pet's routine, feeding, or walks! I am exceptionally reliable and communication oriented because I would want that exact same peace of mind if it were my own pets. You can trust that your home and routines will be completely respected, and I will always provide plenty of photo updates to show you everything is well taken care of!

âI'm so glad I found Jennifer. This was my first time using the app & had never left my kitties alone for this duration of time. Jennifer checked on them at the same time and always sent adorable pictures and updates! I felt at ease on our first meeting, especially knowing she has a kitty of her own.â

âFirst time using Rover and Krystle was great. She communicated well, went above what was asked, and send lots of pictures of my dogs where they looked to be having a great time.â


About: I have a retired service dog, and can do both sitting at your home and boarding at mine. I have watched both small and large dogs, as well as cats, reptiles, and rodents. I use to work at a farm with horses, and know my way around critters both great and small. I can provide outdoor baths if the weather is above 60 degrees, and some light training if wanted. I am in college taking classes from 10 to 1, and also work as a janitor for a school, working from 4 to 7. I am not home on Sunday mornings for about 2 hours, due to church, so any dogs will need to be OK being home alone either in a crate or loose in a room for that time period. I have my retired service dog, Wiley, who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a indoor grass patch that dogs can use, as well as the lead line i can put them out on. I am not able to walk very well, so can't do long walks, but I have a good arm and can throw a ball for 20 minutes several times a day, in the park near my house. I can provide a hose bath provided the temperature is above 60 degrees, and can use my large car to go to dog parks. Dogs are allowed on the bed, but will sleep in a crate if that is how they sleep at home. I have bones for dogs to chew on, and plenty of toys. I dont allow balls in the house, my dog has learned how to throw them himself to chase.

About: Grew up with dogs and have many years of hands-on experience caring for them in everyday life, including feeding, walking, basic training, and understanding different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Iâm confident handling both calm and active dogs and adjusting to their individual needs. I now also own two cats, which has given me additional experience with feline behavior, routines, and creating a safe, stress-free environment. Iâm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and treat every animal with patience, responsibility, and genuine care. My schedule is very flexible, and Iâm available for pet care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on short notice when needed. I canât take pets into my own home because I have two cats, but Iâm very happy to stay at the clientâs home and provide care there. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and keep their normal routine while youâre away.

About: Iâve taken care of all kinds of animals my whole life, both big and small dog breeds, cats, bunnies, and horses. Iâve trained multiple different dog breeds. And pet sat for friends and family since I was twelve. Iâve fostered before and spent the past spring/summer volunteering at a shelter in Spanish fork so Iâve worked with a variety of personalities! I love animals and have tons of experience in animal care!!! Iâm a full time student but all my classes are online or hybrids except for my labs. I have an organic chemistry lab on Tuesdays from 6-10pm but often get out early and live with my sister who can help out during that longer stretch of time. I have a fenced yard and I live within walking distance of multiple parks, one that is also fenced in. I am flexible and can adapt to whatever you and your pets specific needs might be!
About: Hi! Iâve always loved animals of all shapes and sizes. From grumpy elders, introverted and awkward, to overcuddly (actually, I don't think it's possible for any animals to be overcuddly, haha), to high-energy creatures, I love them all! I have experience caring for dogs with reactivity, aggression, fearfulness, anxiety, and medical needs . Dogs who may be misunderstood or who require extra patience are welcome! As someone who has had a reactive dog, I understand the struggle it can be to find someone to trust your pet with. Iâm comfortable following detailed instructions and will work closely with you to make sure your dog feels safe and cared for. Every dog is different, and Iâm happy to adjust to their routine and needs. Iâm happy to follow your petâs usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate time, and any special instructions. In a clientâs home, I will respect your space and follow your instructions closely. Iâm comfortable with detailed routines, leash safety, medication instructions, feeding needs, and pets who require extra patience or boundaries. I will always pay attention to your petâs body language and comfort level, and Iâll treat them with patiencr and respect.

âNicole was a wonderful help while we were away, very attentive, extremely kind and professional, with excellent communication. I would 10/10 recommend this individual to take care of your fluffy children.â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 478 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 catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 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 Meet & Greet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
