Dog Walking Downtown

“I’ve had Ella care for my cats while on vacation a few times and I got wonderful updates with the most adorable photos. They were well cared for, just as I would have done myself. This time I needed help with my elderly Labrador. I had a shoulder replacement and am unable to walk her. Ella to the rescue, she was able to walk her early mornings before the heat. Emma looks forward to her arrival by waiting at the window for her, that’s a clear sign that it’s a match. Thank you Ella!”

“Ashley & Kyle are amazing!! When I’m home and they help walk Pepper, she looks so happy when she returns. I’m grateful I have their help to get my dog exercise and make her happy.”

About: I love animals, particularly cats. I’m patient but firm. I can ignore the incessant whines for excessive amounts of food. I am comfortable administering medications and picking up messes. Your fur baby is safe with me! I’m a student in college. I am free most afternoons and evenings and can spend the night at your house or apartment. Unfortunately, bringing the animals to my apartment is not an option. I’ve got plenty of free time and am excited to take care of your animal! I can not take animals at my apartment. I am more than happy to come to your location. I can do walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, playing, and any of the dirty work that comes with it!

“Ashley is amazing & is so flexible with my last minute walk requests. She's so patient with Ripley; even taught him how to shake with his other paw. 💜”

About: I’ve loved animals for many years, and since joining Rover I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs through drop-ins, walks, and overnight house sitting. I’ve cared for pets for everything from short visits to extended trips lasting multiple weeks. My experience includes feeding and refreshing water, litter box care, dog walking, playtime and enrichment, administering medications, maintaining established routines, and providing companionship. I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with more involved routines. One thing I’ve learned is that every pet is different. Some want constant attention and playtime, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality rather than expecting them to adjust to me. Communication is also a big priority. I provide regular updates and photos, follow instructions carefully, and want owners to feel confident that both their pets and their home are being well cared for. I’m grateful to have developed relationships with repeat clients who trust me to care for their pets whenever they travel, and I’d love the opportunity to become someone your pets know and trust, too. I’m a teacher and an experienced pet sitter with a growing group of wonderful repeat clients. Since beginning on Rover, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. During the school year, I work Monday–Friday and typically leave home around 7:00–7:15 AM and return around 4:15–4:30 PM. I’m available for drop-ins and walks before and after work, as well as on weekends. I also offer overnight house sitting for pets who can comfortably and safely be alone during my workday. During school breaks, holidays, and summer vacation, my availability expands considerably and often includes daytime visits and walks. My Rover calendar is kept updated to reflect these changes. During school breaks I have much more daytime flexibility. Upcoming breaks include Thanksgiving break (Nov. 25–27), winter break (Dec. 21–Jan. 1), and Easter break (Mar. 26 & 29). I also have additional individual days off throughout the school year, so feel free to check my Rover calendar or ask about a specific date. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and make sure everything is secure when I arrive and leave. I also provide regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If anything seems unusual with your pet, I’ll communicate with you right away.

About: I have taken care of many family and friends dogs. I treat them like they’re mine own. I go out of my way to make them feel happy. I’m retired so my days and evenings are open to care for your pets. My hours are very flexible. Time with your pet will be the best part of my day. I love to walk, so your dog will get as much walking in as he or she wants. Their schedule will be my schedule. There are lots of dogs in my neighborhood, so your fur baby will meet new friends.

“I cannot thank Chelsea enough for coming to my rescue again last minute. I have been struggling with health issues and she is so understanding and willing to help me with my baby. My dog gets so excited to see her! Thank you so much Chelsea!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with 4 dogs of my own. I’m also a dog groomer, so I have knowledge on all sorts of dogs and their behaviors. My schedule is fully open right now so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets at any time of the day! I provide pet care in the client’s home, making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision.

“Carly did a great job with our dogs. They were shy with her but she was able to bring them out of their shells. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I grew up with pets and have had my own boxer mix for the past 8 years, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including giving medications and helping with post-surgery recovery. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a laid-back senior, or just needs lots of love and attention, I'll care for them like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have my own pet and already structure my day around providing attention, exercise, and care. I work Monday through Friday, and i can provide care before work, during my hour-long lunch break, and after work for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to longer walks, cuddles, and fun activities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and truly at home. I meet each pet where they are and build trust at their pace, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and reserved. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. My gentle 11-year-old boxer gets along well with other pets and helps create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way.

About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.

About: Hey! I have a strong passion for animals, which has led me to gain a wealth of experience in pet care. This includes not only looking after my own pets but also taking care of those belonging to family and friends. My hands-on training with my dogs has equipped me with the skills to handle a variety of breeds, from small to large, and different age groups, including puppies and seniors. My approach to pet care focuses on building trust and understanding each animal's unique personality and needs. I enjoy engaging in activities that promote their well-being, such as exercise, training, and socialization. My reliability and commitment to providing high-quality care have earned me positive recommendations from those I've worked with. If you have specific aspects of my experience or services you're curious about, feel free to ask! I am a stay-at-home mom and can adjust my work schedule as needed! I'm always open to making arrangements, provided we discuss them in advance. As a stay-at-home mom, I find great joy in caring for my pets alongside my family responsibilities. Managing the needs of three pets requires organization and dedication, but I love ensuring they are well-fed, groomed, and taken out regularly for potty breaks. Walking my dog is not only a crucial part of their daily routine but also a wonderful way for me to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Additionally, I often help out my neighbors by walking their dogs as well. This not only strengthens my bond with my own pet but also allows me to contribute to the community and support fellow pet owners. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment for my pets, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love. If you have any specific questions or areas you'd like to know more about, feel free to ask!

About: I've had cats for 16 years, so I feel very comfortable around cats and know what makes them happy! I have dog sat on multiple occasions and I love dog walking! I work Monday-Thursday, 8am-3pm! On the weekends, my days are usually pretty open! I can do visits before or after work and my mom is free in the afternoons and could cover the afternoon shift if needed (she is also on rover). I follow each owner's instructions to make sure their pet’s routine is maintained! I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention in their home :)

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and I’ve been helping take care of dogs since I was 7. I now own a husky and she’s a very good girl. I like to walk her, I allow her to free eat, I give her baths. I’m pretty open I am a full-time fully online college student. I’m currently looking for a part-time job. I do have to be able to take care of my dog as well I let my dog out as often as she wants. I would go to the house 2-3 times a day for house sitting, I’ll go on how ever long walks are needed, I’m willing to give baths

About: I grew up with pets my whole life. My dog MJ, who passed in 2020, made one of the biggest impacts in my life, and if I can give more care and love to animals it would be very fulfilling. I am comfortable around pets of all ages, and will cater to each animals needs. It is always my aim to adore your pet as much as you do! My job is flexible if I need to WFH. If i'm pet sitting I typically WFH in the mornings and then head in to the office for a few hours so I will be able to easily cater to your pet care needs. I will respect your pets boundaries and cater to their needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved. All pets are different, and require different ways of caring for.

About: When I was growing up babysit for my brothers bestfriend. I would have to walk the dogs and it got her energy out as well. :) I have 5 cats and I have to change their litter daily, feed them twice a day , give them love and attention. I will go to my grandmas and walk her dog for her. I treat them as I they are mine. I love animals no matter how big or small. And I follow the instructions from the orders of the times they want to feed them.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was around 12 years old. I am familiar with big dogs, and have taken care of many dogs who tend to jump or bark. I am a student at MUSC in a hybrid program, so I love to take care of pups during my free time! It’s also a great way for me to make some extra money for school :) I have an unfenced backyard, so I primarily walk dogs around my neighborhood on a leash. There are also many dog parks very close by that are great for letting the dogs run around!
