“Sarah is a gem! She took great care of our big boys! They loved her and she loved them! She communicated all the time through the weekend sending pictures of them. She also cleaned up after the dogs and our house was just like we left it! We will be calling Sarah again for sure!!!”
“Lydia was a great dog and house sitter! She was so easy to work with, a good communicator and my dog was happy! She was super respectful of our home and even washed the sheets and towels. We came home to a lovely clean home and a happy dog! I have now used her twice and look forward to booking again.”
“Jacquelin was great! She took excellent care of Billie and made sure she was happy, comfortable and well looked after while I was traveling. Coming home to a happy dog and a tidy house gave me a great peace of mind. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend Jacquelin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“We had Kori stay in our home with our dog for a full week and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything was taken care of and we came home to a calm, content pup and the house exactly as we left it. Our old boy was so happy to see us but was perfectly himself like we'd never left. Thank you Kori for being amazing and giving us peace of mind while we were away!”
“Janessy took great care of our three dogs while we were out of the country. She went above and beyond on several instances handling issues that came up. Thank you Janessy for taking such great care of our babies!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life- i’ve lived with large and small dogs & truly love them all! im a full time registered nurse who would love some fresh air and doggie play time on my off days. I would love to be flexible to suit you and your pet’s needs best. My husband also occasionally assists with some of the care as well depending on our schedule. can’t wait to meet your furry friends☺️ Only working three days a week, I have a lot of free time to spend with pets. I love a long, scenic walk, or even just quality time with pets of any kind. I care for pets with love, gentleness, and lots of petting! I can stop by for some play time in your home, play fetch, or walk them around to get some energy out.
“Kaeley was great with my pets - including my rescue dog who can be slow to warm up to people (but took to Kaeley right away). Came home to happy pets and a tidy house - can’t ask for more than that!”
“Lena was so great! I was traveling with my dachshund Frankie and staying in an Airbnb and needed someone to watch Frankie while we were out during the day and at dinner. Lena was super flexible and made herself available and Frankie loved napping on her lap and chewing her bone next to her. I could tell Frankie felt safe and right at home with Lena. It put me at ease and made our travels easy as could be.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid! I fostered a sweet pittie mix for a few months while I was in college as well. I work part-time a restaurant, so the rest of my days are pretty open! I work shifts that are less than 8 hours so I can play with and check on your pet before/after. I will be a grad student starting next month as well, but only will have class two days a week. I have a car and am happy to drive to your home! I am happy to feed, play with, and crate pets in your home! I am happy to follow any routine/guidelines to best serve you and your pet!
“Breanna was great. She took care of my 5 year old golden lab for 2 days. My dog was happy, my house was clean, my stress was zero. I would not hesitate to have Breanna dog sit again. Thank you for helping me & Murphy during my recent trip! It was much appreciated.”
About: I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and cats. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all sizes. I have always had dogs in my house growing up, and I know the responsibilities it takes to care for an animal. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have taken care of many kinds of pets from puppies and cats to elderly dogs. I have been pet sitting since high school and know what is required for a happy pet. I am very detail oriented and will make sure your pet has all their needs met. This includes potty breaks, food, water, medications, play time, and quality time. I can take your dog for a walk, do a few drop in visits, or do an overnight depending on your pet’s needs or what you are comfortable with. I am currently a rising junior at CofC studying Biology. I will be home (Summerville, SC) for the summer and can take care of pets all throughout the day. During the school year (Downtown Charleston) I can do drop in’s or walks in the morning before my classes, and after my classes in the afternoon, evenings, or overnight. I have an elderly golden lab and a 3 year old Weimaraner. I help take care of them by spending lots of time with them, taking them on walks, providing medication, feeding them, fetching, and giving them lots of love and support. I am very familiar with energetic dogs, and I know that they need lots of attention.
“Rachel was communicative, trustworthy, and took good care of my pets and home. I'd be happy to have her house/pet sit for me again. Overall good person that my animals enjoyed having around.”
“Zack was a great sitter. He was on time and sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. He was persistent on staying home with our dog and not in and out. Very easy to communicate with! Would book again”
About: Providing drop ins, dog walks and overnight stays! Overnight stays are my favorite. I am currently serving in a cafe 4 days out of the week. I am able to do breakfast and dinner walks and feeding and multiple drop ins on my off days. I have been dog sitting for 20 years now for family friends and a small network of Charleston locals across Folly, West Ashley, downtown, Monks Corner, Mt P and IOP. And, had clients in Oklahoma & New York! I am passionate about providing good care for your pups and going the extra mile in communication during our time together. Caring for your pups is one of my greatest joys in life. I am working part time in a cafe currently. Typically have early morning availability, mid afternoon and overnight availability. I love overnight stays with pups. I follow instructions provided I.E. special diets for dogs and requests to walk the dog. And, maintain a clean space in your home at all times. And, bring my own cleaning gear.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have cared for a wide variety of pets with different needs. This includes amputees and FIV cats as well. I work fully remote which allows me the flexibility to house and pet sit pretty much any time and any day of the week! I recently moved back to Charleston and I’m looking to grow my connections! I’ve lived with cats and dogs most of my life, but do not have any pets of my own at this time. I would prefer to let your pet stay at your home where they are most comfortable, and travel as needed, but can accommodate accordingly.
About: I can provide dependable care for your pets while you are enjoying your time away from home. I pay close attention to routines, and individual needs. As of right now I am available most weekends, from early Friday afternoon till Sunday..Or during the week I can do evening walks if needed. I prefer to take care of pets in their own home. In their own home they feel more comfortable and safe, less stress on them.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Folly Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Folly Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Folly Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
