“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’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!

About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I’m currently a registered nurse. I love when the therapy animals come by, probably more than the patients do! I am mostly available on weekends and some days during the week! I am an RN so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m off on weekends and holidays! On days that I do work, I’m off usually around 5pm. I am able to spend as much time needed on drop-in days as your pet needs. I will not rush them to eat or go outside.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life—from growing up with my sweet chocolate lab, Jessie, to now being a proud cat mom to Sir Purr and Smore. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior cats and dogs, and I’ve learned so much from the pets of family members and neighbors along the way. For the past few years, I’ve been pet sitting for close family friends, and it’s something I truly love. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle cuddles, or just a reliable routine, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Your furry friends will be treated like family—because to me, they are! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I’m available for evenings and overnights on weekdays and available all weekends ! I offer reliable in-home pet care services including drop-ins, overnight stays, playtime, walks, and grooming. While I don’t have a yard, I have my own transportation and am more than happy to come to you. I follow your pet’s routine, provide personalized attention, and ensure a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to create a stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend!

About: My entire life I have been taking care of dogs. Since the moment I was born there has always been a dog present. What sets me apart is my personalized approach to dog sitting, with a focus on both physical and emotional well-being. I offer specialized care for puppies, including basic training and socialization, as well as extra attention for senior dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. With experience in handling dogs of all ages, I tailor my services to meet each dog’s unique needs—whether it’s extra playtime, administering medication, or simply providing a calm, loving presence. Your dog will not only be well cared for but also treated like family. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina, so my schedule does change every semester. Currently I have classes from Monday/Wednesday 11:15-2pm, Tuesday/Thursday 10:05-11:30 and Friday 1-2pm. They are back to back classes and I’m only gone for 2.5 hours max at a time. I have a car down here so it’s easy for me to get back and forth quickly. On weekends I have full availability. I live in a dog-friendly home with three responsible roommates who all have experience caring for dogs. While I am the primary caregiver and will handle feeding, walks, and overall supervision, my roommates also love animals and help provide extra company and comfort. I have a spacious upstairs room where dogs can stay comfortably, and both our front and back doors are secure and locked most of the time to ensure safety at all times. I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment to help your dog feel relaxed and at home. My goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where your dog gets plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats.

I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and keeping pets comfortable in their usual routines. Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I am a work from home mom and have all the time to play with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in backyard that is fully secure. I also have an air conditioned garage. All pets are welcome to be inside all day long but sometimes they want to play and run and it’s nice to have a cool down spot. All animals are welcome to stay inside all day and night. I am a light sleeper and wake up to let my senior dog, Lola, out at night for bathroom breaks regularly. I am always home and my daughter has been raised and daughter how to be safe and appropriate with new animals. We treat others and their pets with the respect we would want in return.

About: I come from a family where - and I mean this sincerely - our animals have always been just that: family. (We even have a running joke that grandkids come second to the granddogs and grandcats! Lol) There has never been a time in my life when we haven't had family dogs or I've had a dog of my own, and I adopted my cat Luna (who, to be fair, thinks she's a dog - she and my shihpoo Obie are besties) in 2016 from Pawmetto Lifeline. In addition to my extensive experience with dog ownership/pet ownership in general, I started riding horses at 7 years old and have ridden my entire life since, including the ownership of my own horse through law school. Relatedly, during my time in college as a way to afford riding/competing on our school's dressage team, I also took care of my trainers barn from Thursday-Sunday where there were horses, dogs, and cats to attend to! I absolutely loved it. Animals are my happy place and interactions with them have always been a source of comfort and joy rather than monotony or obligation - the ultimate reciprocal self-care! In summary, as a long-time fur mama myself, I want to emphasize that I am well-acquainted and unfazed with the various unique needs our fur babies of all types may have and am instinctively attuned to these and the importance of having a clear line of communication with the fur parents involved. There is nothing more stressful than not knowing what's going on, and I can assure you that will not be an issue with me! (If you know horses, you know the deal there haha.) I can't wait to treat yours like my own and help you all out! I am a recent law school graduate currently preparing to take the bar in February '24. While I am going through that application process/studying and applying for attorney positions for after the exam, there could not be a better fit with the present flexibility of my schedule than Rover - as both a job and a much-needed mental break! I currently have no time constraints and am more than happy to work with your schedule. My primary focus is communication and clarity regarding the needs of each fur baby. My goal is to truly treat yours as my own and I have no problem with providing updates/communicating via text or phone to the extent that you as a fur parent feel is necessary. Working in the legal profession, where customer service skills, prompt and thorough client communication, and making a point to ask questions when necessary rather than assuming someone's needs or expectations and falling short are a must, I strive to be detail oriented and compassionate in all comparable situations and I view taking care of your fur babies no differently!

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,019 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 , 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 , 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 .

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

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

walkers 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 walker.
