“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!”
“Aileen was awesome. She kept us up to date daily with multiple pics of our old girl. We were so worried leaving her but the pics helped us know she was in good hands getting plenty of love and hugs. We would use Aileen again to take care of Paris or any other dog we have.”
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! :)
“Claire is amazing! She is communicative, kind, and will do whatever she can to make sure your furry friends are well taken care of. I was at ease leaving my cats in her capable hands. I would recommend her and would rebook again in the future!”
“Alexis was extremely dependable and helpful, especially when it came to assisting with cleaning up after Crypto. She didn’t hesitate to step in when needed and handled everything with care and professionalism. Her reliability and willingness to help made a big difference, and I’m very grateful for her support.”
“Caroline is the best. Our flight was delayed and we wouldn’t be home in time to feed our cat. She was able to help us out! Percy is always happy when we return home. We love the photos and videos that she sends while we are away.”
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: Over the years, I’ve looked after pups with all types of needs, and I pride myself on being a calm, reliable anchor for them. If you have a high-energy puppy who needs endless patience, consistent boundaries, and help reinforcing their training, I’m ready to jump right in and keep them safely engaged. On the other end of the spectrum, I have a deep soft spot for senior dogs and dogs with intense medical needs. I know how critical it is to stick to strict medication schedules, monitor health cues, and provide the gentle, slow-paced comfort an older or healing dog requires. From puppy zoomies to senior snuggles, I treat every dog who walks through my door with the exact same love, respect, and specialized attention I would give my own family. From Monday through Thursday, I work from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, which actually creates a fantastic, predictable routine for the dogs in my care. Before I head out in the morning, we kick off the day with an early walk, breakfast, and plenty of playtime to burn off that initial morning energy. When I leave at 10, the pups are usually content, tired out, and ready for a long, peaceful mid-day nap. I head straight home right after work at 4:00 PM, and the rest of the evening is completely dedicated to them! We head out for a long afternoon walk, work on any puppy training or mental stimulation games, and wind down with dinner and couch snuggles. Fridays through Sundays, my schedule is completely wide open. This means weekends are packed with extra adventures, longer trail walks, or just a lot of dedicated, undivided attention for senior dogs who love having a human around all day long. Because I balance my time this way, your dog gets the perfect mix of a structured daily rhythm and a companion who is fully present when it matters most. I am incredibly lucky to live right next to a dog park, the beach, and beautiful walking trails, which means our daily routine is packed with fresh air and variety. For the high-energy pups and social butterflies, having the dog park just steps away is perfect for playing fetch, running off leash, and socializing safely. For the dogs who love to explore, sniff, or splash around, the beach is our playground for morning or sunset strolls along the shore. The nearby walking trails are my absolute secret weapon, especially for senior dogs or pups who get easily overwhelmed by loud noises or big crowds. These quiet, shaded paths are perfect for peaceful, low-stress decompression walks where your dog can take their time, sniff to their heart's content, and get some wonderful mental stimulation in a calm environment. Back inside my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. After a fun outing—and a quick "paws, sand, and trail mud" cleanup routine—my space is fully set up for total relaxation. Whether they prefer sprawling out on a cool floor after a beach run, curling up in a cozy dog bed, or claiming a spot right next to me on the couch, they will have free reign to relax exactly how they like best.
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 have owned dogs my entire life and have been dog walking for several years. I would love to meet and take care of your pets! I have also trained my dog to walk on leash without pulling and to sit and wait by the door before going out. I’m happy to work on those things if interested! I work part-time with flexible hours which allows me the flexibility to care your pets. I am happy to work on weekends and work with your schedule. I will respect your house and pets and follow any specific requests. I love animals and can not wait to work with your family pet!!
“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!”
“Lacy & Carson took such great care of my pups! They send plenty of pics, which I love. They go above and beyond and I know my pups are always excited when they stop by!”
“Highly recommend! Grace did such an excellent job taking care of my 4-year-old sheepadoodle Phoebe while I was out of state for a wedding. Right from the start, Grace was so professional and took some of her own time to meet Phoebe before I left. While I was away, she provided thorough updates after each visit — oh, and plenty of pictures, too! Phoebe was having a bit of trouble finding her appetite during my trip, so Grace took the time to *hand feed* her, which I’m incredibly grateful for. Grace, thank you SO MUCH for giving me some much needed peace of mind over the holiday weekend. I will absolutely be reaching out to you to take care of Phoebe again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats! I absolutely love spending time with animals and have plenty of experience helping care for pets for friends and family. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet is happy and well cared for! I currently work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! I’m free a few times throughout the week and most weekends when I’m not traveling. I’d love to help get your pup out for some fresh air, exercise, and extra attention! I’m a huge animal lover and grew up with both dogs and cats, so I’ve always loved being around pets! 🐾 I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, favorite walking routes, or any special instructions you have!
About: I’ve had family dogs almost my entire life. When my latest girl, Jaina, passed after 14 years together, I shifted to pet sitting rather than full-time ownership. My friends, neighbors and roommates can always rely on me to watch their pups whenever they have work or travel plans! I currently live with a beautiful Doberman and am his primary care giver when my roommate travels for business. Our favorite activity is an adventure to Folly Beach where we walk, look at the ocean, and visit the dog friendly restaurants for his doggie-menu treats & pup cups. I’m also a Gold Star Rated Uber Driver that allows riders to bring their animals with them on trips. I attend church in downtown Charleston every Sunday so my Sundays are reserved for me. For extended (week+), I am willing to have a discussion to fulfill needs on that day. I also work as a freelance/contract bartender. While I have no set schedule, days that I accept those gigs will likely result in an 8-10 hours stretch where I would be away from sitting. Give me a shout and I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work part time as a bartender and with special events but on a contract/freelance basis. I’m also a Gold Star Rated Uber driver with an active setting that allows riders to travel with their animals. I attend church on Sundays so I tend to leave that day free for myself. I make my own schedule which allows for a lot of flexibility. I care for my roommate’s Doberman when he travels for business. We go on walks, to the park, the beach and play in the backyard. I give him his meds twice a day. His water is in a fountain bowl and his food dispenser on a timer. I refill as needed. He is an Alpha so I won’t be offering to watch other animals in my home. But I look forward to traveling to you!
About: I have three pups of my own: Leon, Zelda and Finn! They are my babies and I love them to death. They love and play great with other dogs as well! I have always had at least two dogs growing up, and I have a life long experience with teaching and caring for them. I have a huge passion when it comes to animals, especially dogs. All of my dogs have been rescued, and I love to give them the happiest life that I can. We have plenty of love and fun to share with your fur babies if you want to reach out, we'll set up a date! Thank you so much for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you very soon! I am working part time from home so your fur babies will be under my care at all times. I am a firm believer in playing hard and sleeping harder so that will pretty much take care of the schedule! ☺️ I have a fenced in back yard and three dogs to keep yours company. Also trained with crating and accommodating special needs at your request

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.

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.
