About: I’ve had dogs my whole life (sometimes 6 at a time!) and currently I’m a proud dog mom to my rescue pup, Junior. He’s taught me a lot about patience, love, and managing special needs like administering meds and dog reactivity. I take pet care seriously (but always with joy!) and treat every animal like my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, chill couch time, or just needs someone calm and reliable, I’ve got you covered. I genuinely adore animals and would be so happy to care for yours! I use the Rover app myself for walks and boarding, so I understand the importance of communication and finding a sitter that you can trust. I am a freelance chef and took the next 3 months off work to visit family in Charleston, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I respect the owners care instructions to ensure a smooth transition for your pet. I log everything on the app to ensure trust and safety protocols .
“Nadaia is superb. I had a last-minute medical need for a dog walker & she, thankfully, squeezed me in. She is effervescent & professional, affable & the one in control, kind & goes above & beyond.

About: My fiancé and I have combined 27 years of experience caring for and loving 4-legged friends. Over the years we‘ve raised black labs, boykin spaniels, cats, turtles, and currently have a 3 year old golden retriever (Vegas) who your dog would LOVE to play with in our fenced in back yard! After moving to Charleston we had several bad experiences leaving our dog places where we didn’t feel like she got the love and attention she deserved. We were finally able to enjoy our weekend getaways and stop worrying after finding the right people on Rover to care for our fur baby. We hope to give you that same peace of mind, as we promise to love your dog like our own! Both my fiancé and I work 9-5 jobs Monday through Friday. We are free to watch your fur baby on the weekends and over holidays. We have a golden retriever who absolutely LOVES other dogs. We have a fenced in back yard and live down the street from a dog park. We have two extra bedrooms if your dog likes to sleep by themself/in a crate. Alternatively if they sleep better with people we welcome them to sleep with us! We will only watch one family’s dog(s) at a time - so you never have to worry about unknown dogs being present (besides our loving golden retriever)!
