About: A reliable 15 year-old who takes pet care seriously, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. I have a Great Dane and a Bernese mountain dog and I’m so excited to meet your furry kids! I’m currently in school but I am available after that or anytime through the summer! I have reliable transportation and can make anything work. I have 2 dogs that love new friends! We have an acre that is fenced so your friends can play. You can be at ease knowing they are safe and cared for.

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. 🐈⬛🐕💕 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!
About: I worked as a nanny for over 10 years which included pet care. Anything from daily walks and feeding to overnight extended care. I love the chance to make new furry friends and share my favorite walks. I work remotely so have full flexibility to work when I want and when is best for your furry fmaily members. I find caregiving to be a win win. I make a new friend and have someone to go on walks with and pets get the love and attention they need. The health and safety of your pet is number one for me. I have a large area in my home where animals can relax with sunlight, houseplants, and water. For care in your home, I’m happy to follow whatever protocols you have established. Nothing is too niche, trust me. My childhood dog wouldn't eat his dinner unless I 'sprinkled special flavour powder' (I just mimed grabbing something from the cupboard) over his food. It's important to me that you and your loved one's routine is maintained as much as possible.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, including boxers, pugs, and labs. My family currently has a French bulldog and a Pomeranian/Yorkie mix, so I’m very comfortable with both high-energy dogs and smaller breeds. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with feeding, walking, and spending time with their pets, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m currently a college student looking for a side hustle, and since I love dogs, this feels like the perfect fit. I’m responsible, reliable, and will treat your pet like my own! I’m a college student, so my schedule is flexible. During the school year, I’m available early mornings and after 12:30pm on weekdays, with open availability on weekdays. Starting in May, I’ll have full availability throughout the day. I’m able to do walks, drop-ins, or spend extended time with your pet depending on your needs, and I’m very reliable when it comes to showing up and being on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your routines and instructions closely so your dog feels comfortable and at ease. I’m very attentive, responsible, and keep a close eye on pets at all times, whether we’re on walks or at home. I’m also great at reading dogs’ behavior and adjusting to their energy level, whether they need playtime or a calmer environment. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and feel completely comfortable while you’re away.
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.
About: Since childhood, my passion for dogs has been a defining part of who I am. Today, I am blessed with the companionship of three dogs: Doc, a Dalmatian, Bonnie, our senior pitbull, and Custos, the guardian who is Great Pyrenees/newfoundland. Understanding their diverse exercise requirements and individual needs comes naturally to me, enabling me to cater to their personalities and preferences with utmost care and devotion. Being a stay at home mama allows me to be fully available, to give your pup attention and care. Your sweet dog will receive the love and companionship they deserve, ensuring their well-being and happiness while you're away. If your dog does well with other pups, we’d be happy to have him with us, on our 3 acre fully fenced property. I always provide the same level of affection and dedicated attention to your dog as I do to my own…showering them with love, providing them with care and spending quality time together.
About: While I've grown up with dogs (from little to large breeds), I've an affinity and appreciation for all animals and am confident in my capacity to provide care, respectively. I understand how wonderfully special they are, offering unrivaled companionship, connection, and comfort; that they inspire joy and gratitude in our hearts through their individual character, play, and temperament. My intent and investment in the care of other's animals is to elicit and instill a peace of mind that their care is like that of my own (though, of course, only second best to oneself). I'm currently available, working remotely with a pretty flexible schedule, to attend to your best friend, be it dog, cat, or kiddo's leopard gecko or rabbit. At this time, my kind, attentive, and consistent care extends exclusively to that in / around my clients' homes. I want you and your pet to feel the most at ease -- in that of a known and comfortable environment. I'm amenable and responsive to any instructions, preferences, and needs. Most recently, I cared for a two-year-old mini Golden Doodle (while housesitting in Northern California) that unexpectedly developed an unfortunate "hot spot". Through diligent communication with her owners (who were vacationing in Europe), we coordinated how best to proceed. This included several visits to a vet, where she also, as it turned out, had double ear infections. Treatment protocol required both topical and oral medications twice daily. I recorded an audio of the summary diagnosis from the vet and shared this with her humans, as well as regular updates and photos of the healing progress. Simultaneously, I was asked to move her to a balanced raw diet (like that of my own dog), and which required more effort but that was entirely inline with what I'm already accustomed.
“We use Mark all the time to help out when we’re out of town or have busy days at work. He treats denali so well and makes me feel so much better about having to be away from him! We’ve seen Mark working with other dogs in our neighborhood a few times and Denali always runs up to him tail wagging and howling. We could not reccomend Mark more!!”

“Viri was absolutely incredible!! She treated our dog just like her own. We booked Viri for drop in visits for a week super last minute and she helped relieve so much stress. Our dog barks when people come over and she wasn’t phased at all and was completely understanding of his adjustment period. I would rebook Viri in a heartbeat!!”


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: We have had our dog for over 6 years. I have watched puppies, other dogs and senior dogs that required a lot of special attention. I’m a stay at home mom with 5 energetic boys. We live in walking distance to many trails and parks that we take our dog to. I am home most of the time during the day and can take care of pets’ different needs. We have a fenced yard with lots of shade and a 6 year old border collie that loves friends. We live in a calm neighborhood without a lot of outside noise.

About: With over 35 years of experience as a dedicated dog owner, I provide trusted and compassionate care for your pets. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds from small Shih Tzu’s to energetic Australian shepherds and many in between. I understand that each dog has unique needs. In my home, pets are treated like family and given plenty of love and attention. They’ll enjoy a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime, along with daily walks, or games of fetch tailored to their energy level and preferences. There are no children or other pets in the home, allowing for a calm, focused environment, where your dog can feel comfortable, secure, and get the attention they need. I am an elementary school teacher. I am available all summer and holidays. My holiday breaks are longer than usual due to my teaching schedule. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I recently lost my 18 year-old Shih Tzu. So there are no other dogs in the home. Your dog will receive my undivided attention. I will walk your dog daily and play fetch in the backyard. Pets in my home are treated to lots of affection. I also have no children living at home so they get a lot of attention. Snuggles on the couch are welcome!
“Daniela was great with Max and was able to check on him with a short notice request. Very much appreciated! She sent pics and gave a follow up, and I was so glad she was able to check in on him!”


About: I have had many pets, but dogs are the most beloved. I have grown up with a dog and she is my pride and joy. I can walk dogs, feed them, bathe them, play with them. If they need their nails clipped, I’m your gal. Ask anyone about my love for not only dogs but for animals in general. They deserve the world and more. I am currently working part-time so I can come and keep your puppies company any time!! I am available on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays mostly! I don’t care for dogs in my house but if you need me to come to play with your pups I would be MORE than delighted!!
About: I have always been a lover of animals & have been helping families & house sitting homes for over 20 years. I do have a nursing degree aswell. I have cared for all types of domestic pets as well as farm animals, horses and 3 Neopolitan Mastiffs of my own. Neos are a large breed dog and each of mine weighed 200lbs, I had them since they were pups and for the entirety of their lives. I am always thrilled with the opportunity to travel near & far, meet new families and take good care of adorable animals. It is truly a fun & rewarding experience that I enjoy doing very much. As a writer most of my work is done right from home and I also have a gift product design company which I also dabble with from home. If I have a local house/pet sit in Utah, I may be called out for a quick local job but it isn’t usually more than 3 -4 hours. Park City, Utah has been home for me for 22 years. I have been helping families with a variety of needs for many years. From children, to pets to elderly parents, house sitting, counseling, organizing, etc. I take great pride in keeping a clean home, I do not smoke and for the most part i work from home as a writer. All that I do is done with the upmost love and attention. I am mature, very experienced, confident, respectful, energetic, dependable, peaceful & kind. Feel free to call or text me directly.
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: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, volunteering at animal shelters and caring for friends' and relatives' pets. This has given me extensive experience caring for all kinds of animals in various life stages. I have two dogs—Wyatt, an American bully, and Lucy, a Chihuahua. I also have two cats! My experience also includes reptiles, rabbits, and birds. I adore animals and would love to help with any of your pet's needs. :) My schedule is flexible! As a full-time college student taking online classes, I can easily adjust my plans when needed while still caring for my pets. I believe our pets sense the energy around them, so establishing a calm and safe environment, and meeting them at their level, is essential. For our dogs, we have a spacious fenced yard, and I usually let them outside every two hours. We also take daily walks around the neighborhood. When it comes to feeding, I avoid playing to keep mealtime serious. For my own pets, I prepare home-cooked meals twice a day to ensure a balanced diet. I believe they deserve a fulfilling life, which includes nutritious food!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,634 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Charleston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
