“Martina has been extremely reliable and patient. She’s always communicative during the walks and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. Being in the Army with unpredictable hours is tough, but she truly puts my mind at ease knowing my baby is getting the care and attention he needs when I can’t be there. I’m so thankful for her!”

About: I have been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, and other people's pets for the past 8 years! I love working with animals, and I also have several years of experience volunteering at animal shelters just for fun. I have experience with taking care of both cats and dogs, but have extensive experience with elderly cats who need medication assistance or extra attention. I currently run my own private practice, so I have full control over my schedule. Making sure that your pets are taken care of on the schedule you prefer is my priority. I personally have two cats at home and they are completely indoor so I can monitor them. When I go to a client's home, I am a stickler for following exactly what was asked of me by the owner. Safety, affection, and having their needs met are what I most emphasize. I also am more than happy to share videos and photos of your fur baby. I know it makes my day when I'm away and I get a picture of my babies waiting at home!

About: I grew up with indoor pets and learned how to care for my little doggies and bunny rabbit as a child. Over the past several years, I have been trusted by friends, neighbors and family to care for, walk, play with, feed and clean after up their pets. I will be attending dog grooming school in the fall, but my schedule is very flexible. The dog grooming school I attend is predominantly online, therefore allowing flexibility in pet care scheduling. I am available weekdays and weekends and am happy to try and modify my schedule to meet your needs. I try to follow the family’s requests regarding their pet’s routines and needs. In attempt to keep the pet comfortable and happy, I focus on providing feedings, changing water, allowing for outside play and toileting time. I love to play with all types of pets and hope to make them feel safe and secure while their family is away. I look out for the pet’s safety and report any concerning signs of illness/injury back to the family (as needed).

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life and am also very comfortable caring for cats. I have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, bathing, and keeping pets on their usual routines. My own dog requires a little extra care, which has given me experience with pets who have special needs. I regularly manage multiple medications, help with mobility by carrying my dog up and down stairs, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe throughout the day. Because of this, I understand that some pets need a little more patience, attention, or assistance than others. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I also have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ll always follow your instructions and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their usual walks, giving medications, or keeping up with any special care they need. I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!

About: Hi, I’m Amaya! I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have a cat named Cheesecake, and I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll always provide plenty of love and attention, follow your pet’s routine, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m self-employed, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide pet care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I’m able to accommodate most schedules and give them the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment while following your pet’s routine and care instructions closely. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, while keeping you updated every step of the way.

About: Growing up I always had multiple dogs and cats. I was often trusted by neighbors, family friends, and relatives to care for their pets. In the last year I adopted a 2 month old Australian shepherd that I have loved and trained myself. It is my #1 priority that he gets enough exercise and playtime to make sure he’s happy and healthy! I love caring for animals of any age and size and doing what’s best for them to ensure they are always happy and healthy as well! I am currently in college working part time a couple days a week. On the days I am not on campus, or at work, I am available any time of day. I love animals and I understand that people have work and want their dog to still get the exercise they need and be let out throughout the day and I am more than happy to help those in need of that service! I have a very social and outgoing Australian shepherd puppy who gets along with any dog and loves the company. In my neighborhood there’s some grassy areas to play and a lot of space to walk. When on walks with my dog I always bring my portable water bowl and make sure he’s not getting too hot in this South Carolina heat.

About: Hi! I’m Hannah, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets. I’m passionate about making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. From playtime to mealtime to cozy companionship, I treat each pet as if they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always go the extra mile to create a stress-free, happy environment. You can trust that your furry family members are in great hands with me! Looking forward to meeting your pets and making sure they have the best time! I have flexible availability and I’m free unless I am traveling. Just let me know what you need and I can try my best to accommodate. For now, I offer pet care exclusively through drop-ins at your home, ensuring your pets stay comfortable in their own familiar space. I’ll come by to feed, play, and keep them company while you’re away, following your routine to keep things as normal as possible for them. This setup is perfect for pets who thrive best in their own environment, and it allows me to provide the dedicated attention and care they need without the stress of adjusting to a new location. Just let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there to take care of everything!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. My family had two Poodles while I was growing up. I helped care for them by giving them baths, feeding them, and walking them. I also made sure they got out and had exercise by taking them for run around my neighborhood. I am active duty in the Army and am stationed at Fort Knox. I can definitely stop by at least twice a day in the morning and then evening. Depending on how far away, I can even stop by mid day during my lunch break. I can come to the pups and care for them at their homes. I’d love to take them out on long walks and to doggie parks. Just playing with them would be amazing!

About: Hi! I'm Esther--your pet's soon-to-be new favorite human I have 3 years of experience working in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I've also spent about a year pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, and other animals in home environments. I'm confident reading animal body language, which helps me understand how they're feeling and respond in a way that keeps them comfortable and respected. My top skills include creating a calm and reassuring environment, using a gentle and patient approach, and always being responsible and safety-focused. I'm kind, empathetic, and attentive, and I always treat every pet like my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to work with a variety of pet-care needs and I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and find a schedule that works best for everyone. When caring for pets in their home, I make their safety and comfort my first priority. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules their owner has provided.

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Congaree

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,026 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Congaree. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Congaree. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Congaree after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Congaree. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 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 walker.
