About: I have taken care of animals large and small since I was a child. I have experience volunteering at two animal shelters and a wildlife rehabilitation facility, working with dogs, rabbits, and birds. Currently, I own a mini Australian shepherd named Arrow who is a bundle of energy. I am a distance runner and enjoy taking high energy pups out on walks and runs. I have availability on weekdays and weeknights. I do travel frequently, so I am not always in the Heber City area. Check my calendar for details. I am experienced at providing pet care and am diligent with paying attention to details to ensure pet safety. I also work professionally as an EMT and am comfortable providing emergency first aid to pets if needed.
“Dave went above and beyond to take the best care of our Great Dane mastiff while we were away. He was having neck issues and Dave was amazing with all of his special needs and keeping us in the loop. We felt so thankful for him and knowing our big love was in really great capable hands!”

“Catie was a wonderful dog sitter! Our dog normally gets depressed when we travel and she'll not eat. It's been a game changer having Catie dog sit at the house. Our dog actually ate and was happy! She left a sweet note and took great care of not only the dog, but the house as well. Thanks Catie!! We'll definitely be rebooking.”

About: I am comfortable taking care of all kinds of pets besides cats and dogs including reptiles, snakes, birds and even insects. I grew up with many different kinds of pets in the home so I am adaptable to whatever needs your pet might have. I work as a substitute teacher and I schedule my work a few days to a week in advance so I may be less available on any given week if you don’t communicate with me a week in advance. When sitting in the client’s home I’ll set alarms to make sure that I feed and walk the dog at the required times, I prefer to walk dogs on leash so please let me know where those are before I come to sit (I’ll also ask you if not).
About: Hi, I’m Krystle. I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I’m deeply passionate about. While dogs are my favorite, I’ve also raised and cared for cats, chickens, and have experience around horses and other farm animals as well. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a slower, more attentive pace. I also have experience with special needs pets, including three-legged dogs, arthritis, and sensitive digestion. I’m comfortable with all aspects of care, including feeding routines, administering medications, bathing, light grooming, structured exercise, hiking, playtime, and of course plenty of affection and snuggles. I truly believe animals feel the energy you bring, and I strive to create a calm, safe, and supportive environment for every pet in my care. I’m also a Wilderness First Responder, which gives me a strong foundation in handling unexpected situations. I have experience treating minor injuries such as puncture wounds, removing foxtails, and staying aware of environmental hazards like snakes and toxic plants, especially important here in the desert and on trails. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was fostering a terrified, unsocialized Rez puppy who had no prior human connection. With patience, consistency, and care, he transformed into a confident, loving dog and became the shadow of my sweet Opi boy (may he rest in peace). I trained him in foundational commands like sit, stay, lay down, gentle, and recall, and helped him become a well-adjusted trail companion. I’ve also trained my own dogs in both manners and fun tricks like roll over, spin, speak, hug, and shake. I said goodbye to my sweet boy, Opi, in January of this year, and I no longer have dogs of my own. Because of that, I’m able to fully dedicate my time, attention, and space to the dogs I care for. Before this chapter of my life, I served just over 9 years as an Active Duty Marine. That experience shaped me into someone who is highly reliable, detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and deeply committed to doing things the right way. I approach every pet with empathy, attentiveness, and genuine care, and I’m always happy to answer any questions to make sure you feel completely comfortable trusting me with your furry family members. Pet care is my full-time focus, so my days are intentionally structured around the needs of the animals in my care. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular outdoor time, enrichment, and a calm, stable environment throughout the day. I prioritize a balanced routine that includes exercise, rest, and individualized care based on each pet’s energy level and personality. Whether your dog thrives on activity or prefers a more relaxed pace, I’m able to adjust my schedule to support what makes them feel most comfortable and at ease. I take a thoughtful and highly individualized approach to pet care, tailoring each stay to your dog’s specific needs and your preferences as an owner. No one knows your pet better than you, and I value that insight, whether it’s routines, medical needs, quirks, favorite toys, or anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable. Safety is always a top priority in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor time, and I’m experienced in managing a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and group dynamics. I’m able to provide structure, supervision, and separation when needed to ensure every dog feels safe, respected, and supported. I maintain a calm, stable environment and am very attentive to behavior, body language, and overall well-being. My goal is to create a space where dogs can relax, feel secure, and settle in naturally. My husband and I both genuinely love animals, and your pet will be welcomed into a home that is attentive, respectful, and caring. Your pet will be cared for with genuine attention, respect, and affection every step of the way.
“Jonah was spectacular!! My Winston was very well cared for and loved on while I was gone. In addition, my house remained clean and Jonah even put the sheets in to wash and dry! He maintained the security of my home and was super respectful. Hoping to make him my "go to" sitter!”


About: I have always loved dogs and have 2 of my own! As a kid in middle school and high school I was the "neighborhood dog walker" and would help people who didn't have time to walk their dogs every day. Since then I have done check-ins, pet-sit at clients homes, and walk dogs throughout the day for over 5 years. I am a server at a local restaurant at night, which leaves my days wide open. I work 5 nights a week right now (sometimes less) and have plenty of time during the day to take care of your fur-babies! I am off on Tuesday's and Wednesday’s, which would allow me to do night-time check ins as well on those days. I am willing to do whatever my clients are comfortable with. I can walk dogs in your neighborhood, check in on dogs in your home, take dogs to the park, feed dogs, train puppies, and many more services. I have two dogs of my own who are super friendly and love to play! Greg is a rescue chihuahua mix and is 3 years old. Darla is a 4 month old Border Collie!
About: I have two dogs of my own that I love and care for! One of them is 7 and the other is 2. My schedule is super open at the moment so I'm able to really be there for your dog through out the day! My schedule is very open. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention. Because of that, it’s easy for me to include additional pets into my routine and give them consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I provide attentive care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I keep a safe, clean environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable and stress free. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m very experienced with daily pet care and making sure pets feel safe and loved.
“She was so amazing 15/10 stars. I’m not going to lie I was a little skeptical about rover and having someone I don’t really know come over to my home and babysit my brand new puppy, was a little scary to me, but she was so nice. She sent hourly pictures, followed all the instructions and so willing to communicate. Would definitely rebook.”

“Michelle is so awesome. Communication was perfect, took our whole crazy pack on daily walks while we were gone and even took care of our lizards. I already have her booked for another long trip.”

“Sarah is so good with my shy girl. Diane loves Sarah and gets excited enough to do zoomies. Very glad to have found Sarah. It's nice to get updates and pictures and know Diane is in good hands. Thanks Sarah!”
“Mckenzie was an awesome sitter! Even with short notice, she was able to come meet my animals and see my place before staying the weekend with them. She immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my animals and house in her care and that comfort continued throughout the 4 nights she was with them. I would definitely recommend Mckenzie to anybody looking for a sitter in the Ogden area!”

“Janica did an amazing job watching my two cats and dog. My dog is a little needy in that he has environmental allergies and is a bulldog, so his daily grooming can be a little annoying. Janica had no problem taking extra care of him. I never felt worried about leaving them in her care.”


“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was born. My mom was a dog breeder so I would help her with the puppies and I just love working with animals they have such sweet kindred spirits. I have currently moved back home to finish school but need a job part time or full time because I do school online. And I can work nights or early mornings I’m my home our pets have been trained to ask to go outside. I would prefer to work at someone’s home just because our house is new and still is missing some fencing
About: Hello! My name is Claire and I have had dogs all my life. I am a waitress and bartender who would love to spend my free time with your fur babies! I have my own chihuahua mix and live in a household with 2 other dogs as well. I also have experience with farm animals including horses, goats, chickens, cows, and semi-feral cats. Love outdoor treks including hiking and camping, and even have some experience with special needs animals. I live in Sandy but am willing and able to travel to make sure the needs of your pet are met. Expert cuddler and treat giver, love to help with training, and am not squeamish about messes. I’d love to meet your fur babies 💜 I work in the hospitality industry, which gives me flexibility during weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as additional availability throughout the week. Wednesdays are especially flexible for me, and I'm happy to coordinate drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays around my work schedule. As a lifelong animal lover with a house full of pets, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! I'm accustomed to feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. For overnight stays, I'm always upfront about my work commitments so we can make sure your pet's routine and care requirements are a great fit. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, including large breeds, multi-pet households, and senior animals. One of my own senior dogs has severe arthritis and cannot walk independently, so I'm familiar with providing gentle mobility assistance, helping with meals, and accommodating pets who need extra patience and care. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, respect their home, and pay close attention to their pet's behavior and comfort. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for!
“Angel was fantastic! Amazing communication, I got tons of pictures and updates, and she did a great job of taking care of my babies - (playing w my cat's favorite toy, cheering up my anxious dog with a car ride and pup cup, giving them lots of cuddles!). My house was also exactly how I left it. I'd love for Angel to watch my pets again without a doubt!”

Can't possibly say enough positives about Porter. Been traveling 40 + years with in-home sitters and no one has come close, to him. He loves what he does. And oh my, how my dogs love him. They sleep in bed with him. That is their routine. He followed precisely every direction that I left him. He also cleaned my house and it looks better than it did when I left. I only wish we had found him sooner. He is a stellar man as well and did the very best job. We are so happy to have found him.

This was our first time using Porter. He took great care of our two chocolate labs. He sent us daily check-in photos which we appreciate since we miss our doggies when we are away! He left our house in same condition as when we left. He was responsive to any inquiries throughout the process. We would recommend him for your furry friends!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,270 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Charleston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Charleston walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Charleston maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
