“Audrey was an absolute saint by helping me out on a very last-minute check in (on a holiday no less). She’s very communicative and seemed genuinely eager to meet my pup! I would highly recommend Audrey to anyone looking for someone to check in on/walk their dog! Thank you so much!!”
“This was the first time using Rover and leaving my dog alone overnight. Lena was fantastic, on time, and took good care of him. We were worried, but we had no need to be!”
About: I am a former veterinary technician (nurse) that loves all animals! I have previous experience as a professional dog walker/pet sitter. I worked in the emergency department of multiple well established veterinary hospitals and general practices. I can assist with special needs animals and administering medications as needed. I have a small dog (14 year old spayed female Shetland sheepdog). I live on Folly Beach, so pups can expect beach walks and fun days out at all of the pet friendly establishments here (with permission!). I have had pets for years, so animal care is not only a part of my daily routine but my overall lifestyle revolves around them! I have lots of flexibility and time in my schedule so they will get lots of attention, walks and loving! I am very attentive and loving towards your pets as if they are my own. I am excellent at reading their body language/energy to make sure they are not stressed or uncomfortable and to vary my interactions with them based on their needs first and foremost. I am very clean and tend to leave places in better shape than they were when I showed up so you might get some light cleaning done too! :)
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for the last 4 years. With cats, I’m well experienced in doing the regular tasks of maintaining cleanliness of their spaces while ensuring they have enough food and water, as well as distributing heart medications orally. With dogs, I have provided both dropping in for walks as needed and weekend-long house sitting. I'm adaptable and easy-going, ready to provide care for your pet's specific needs. I'm currently working full-time Monday-Thursday, so I have weekend pet sitting or drop-in availability. I can also do weeknight drop-ins. I follow the guidelines set by the owner in terms of how to best care for their pet within their home. I also make it a point to send updates on how your pet is doing and what they're up to, specifically for multi-day pet sitting.
About: Hello! I have been taking care of my close friends' animals for a few years now. My friends all trust me explicitly and know I will love their babies like they do. I've now been referred to so many people, I've decided to make it a full time side business. I would love to have a huge farm one day where I can rescue all the unwanted animals and give them the lives they deserve. I work from home so I can keep dogs all day during the week. I am in and out on weekends, so I can keep animals on weekends I am in town, as long as they are ok in a house with my dog or in their crate. I have a large, fenced in back yard, 1 friendly male Boykin, neutered. I allow animals to sleep on the bed with me and they are allowed on the couch. I walk my dog at least twice a day and usually take him to the park or beach on weekends. My boyfriend and I live together so he will be around as well.
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: Not only have I taken care of neighbors pets but also have two pets of my own! I have always had a soft spot for any type of animal and find such happiness being with them! My boyfriend and I typically do the pet sitting together :) I currently work remotely so I can pick up and work from anywhere! With my job I have full availability to care for animals anytime! For my clients I love to make sure their fur babies feel completely comfortable with me while their parents are away! I love taking them on walks or simply playing with them in the yard to get their energy out and have a play date!
“Lauren was incredible!! She left such a thorough update about my girl and made time to walk her but also hang out. She made sure to tell how Masie was when she got there and how she seemed when she left, and just out my mind at ease about how my girl was doing while I was at work. I really really appreciated her and her flexibility and thoroughness!”
About: I have one cat named Libby. I have had her for about 4 years. Also, I've watched friends pets while they are out of town (dogs, cats) I have a fully time job but I work remotely which allows me to fit pet care into my routine before, during lunch, and after work. I will care for the pets based on the clients requests but this would include: feeding, taking out for bathroom breaks, and going on walks (if dogs) or playing with (if cats).
About: Experience in seniors / sick and injured / puppies. Familiar with all household pet mammals. I like to send pics and vids throughout my time watching them. I'm a marine biologist for South Carolina Department of Natural Resource for my full time job. I love advocating for animals and the environment. I have a flexible work schedule and can drop in before and after work. I can accommodate my own transportation and mid-day drop in if needed. I have spare bedrooms available for pets to stay in as well as a fenced in backyard and open floor plan. My home is filled with lots of friends (4 kitties , 1 bunny, and 2 pups ).
“Elise always kept me in the loop, would take the best pictures of my pet and went above and beyond. she was the perfect pet sitter while i was away- would love for her to sit again!”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for three dogs growing up, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to manage different personalities and energy levels. I’m confident with daily routines, walks, feeding, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I am currently working part time. I’m available for pet care on Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays and would love to help out! I will be out of town from July 30th to August 22nd, but I’m happy to book before or after those dates. Pet care means following the owner’s instructions carefully while making sure the pet feels safe, fed, and comfortable. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on regular walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and playtime. It’s also important to keep them safe and follow any house rules. I always make sure to communicate with updates so owners know their pet is doing well.
About: I currently do not have any dogs of my own; however, I’ve owned multiple dogs throughout my life. I am very patient and kind to dogs, other animals and humans. My home is set up to sit for a couple of dogs. I have a fenced in yard with space for dogs to run. I am active and will walk dogs multiple times a day. I work remote and have a flexible work schedule. I will make time to work within your pet’s routine. I have reliable transportation and will drive to you and your home too. I will care for your pet according to your routine and pets needs. I will follow all owner instructions and preferences. If your pet stays in my home, safety is key. I will make sure your pet has the attention and affections they need.
“Colby is so great and reliable! We have complete piece of mind knowing that she is checking up and taking care of our very energetic Doberman pup and we highly recommend Colby for your dog sitting needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Folly Beach
Sarah provided drop-in visits for my pup, Kevin and she was fantastic! She was always extremely prompt if I had any questions about how things were going and provided pictures at every visit. Kevin can be a little anxious so I’m always a little nervous about leaving him, but I came home to a happy dog. I will definitely use Sarah again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Folly Beach is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,560 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Folly Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
