About: I have had dogs and cats and several other pets and have watched them all for as long as I can remember, but the last several years have house/dog sat for many of my friends and their family members while on vacation and such. I'm not afraid of the size or breed of any dog or any animal for that matter, except snakes. I won't be handling those, sorry. I have high energy and love playing with them as well. I'm very reliable and trustworthy and love to clean, so your pets and home will be in good care while you're gone. I think you will be very happy and pleased if you choose me as your pet sitter. I have several repeat customers and enjoy getting to bond with their pets and watch them grow over the years. They become extended pet family members to me.
About: My first love was my childhood dog. I have been caring for dogs since a young child into my current adult life, including elderly dogs who need help taking their medications and young puppies who want to chew on EVERYTHINGGG. I am a proud auntie to three canines (two nephews and a niece), and I know firsthand the stress that accompanies trusting another person to care for your loved one. I would be honored to provide unique, supportive care so you can take care of the other important things in your life. I am a graduate student and part-time substitute teacher with an engineering background. I am lucky to have an extremely flexible schedule, and while it is always nice to make an extra bit of cash, I thoroughly enjoy working with animals! I have a large spare bedroom of my apartment with a big comfortable bed, large window, and overall calm environment. This can easily house up to two medium-sized pets comfortably while kept separate from the other room where my pets stay. My apartment complex includes great sidewalks and grass for frequent walks and outside play as needed.
“Payton is my go-to walker when we need someone for our dog! She is always on time, quick to respond, and goes the extra mile to write a note and take cute pictures. We really appreciate it!!”
“Ella was amazing and arrived right on time to let my dog out to potty and play! She took photos and sent a message letting me know how remi was, etc. Would definitely recommend Ella and will absolutely be re-booking again in the future!”
“Prompt, professional, affable, and really good with dogs! She met with us the day before the first appointment to meet our shy puppy and they got along great. Would not hesitant to work with her again!”
About: I have always been surrounded by animals my whole life. Back home I have 8 doggos between the ages of two and five who are unique in their own ways. I have two chihuahua/dachshund mixes,a boxer/pit bull mix, a black lab, a chocolate lab, a yellow lab, and two red labs. Every day is a new adventure for sure. I have personal experience with high energy doggos, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, potty accidents, special diets, kennel training, leash training, puppies, senior care, sick animals, puppy parvo, seizures, ear infections, fleas, ticks, dog and cat pregnancy, dog attacks, surgery care, wound care, animal grooming (nails, teeth, eyes, dry skin, coats), and much more. I sincerely enjoy giving all fur babies all the love and dedication they deserve. While I know it is hard to find someone who is willing and prepared to provide the care a pet needs, I am more than honored to be able to work with you if the fit is right. I am currently working full time at a coffee shop. Most of my shifts are early morning, so I am usually available anytime after 2-4:30 pm. I will always treat your pets with the utmost respect as I understand how important they are to you. I would want my own doggos to be treated the same. I know everyone has different standards when it comes to feeding, walking, outside time, etc. so I am more than willing to learn your pet's schedule to be able to benefit all involved. At no point would I ever try to input my own practices onto your animals without your permission.
About: I grew up taking care of so many animals and critters. From Chickens to hamsters to chihuahuas! I take care of every pet as if they were my family. Animals are a blessing and it’s a pleasure to nurture what nature made❤️ I’m pretty flexible! Effective with my time and I spend time with pets. I certainly take my time, scan the pets and try to see if there’s anything else that they’ll need! I care for my pets as if they were my children! Spoiled rotten, I’ll go near and far to get what they need and snuggle them.
About: At Barking Bee, we believe dogs deserve more than just a place to stay—they deserve to feel at home. What sets us apart is our personalized, hands-on approach to every dog in our care. We focus on quality over quantity, creating a cozy, welcoming environment where every pup receives individual attention, plenty of enrichment, exercise, and lots of love. We take the time to learn each dog’s personality, needs, and routines so they can feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while they’re with us. As a stay-at-home dog mom, caring for pets naturally fits into my everyday routine! Our days are filled with plenty of potty breaks and outdoor time in our fully fenced-in backyard, with fresh water and comfortable places for the dogs to rest and relax. Inside, there are always plenty of toys and enrichment activities available, and I make time each day for one-on-one play and personalized enrichment, such as lick mats and puzzles. Throughout the week, we also visit a larger dog park where pups can get some extra exercise, explore, and make new friends. With a flexible schedule and lots of time at home, your pet will have plenty of attention, companionship, and opportunities to play, relax, and feel right at home. 🐝🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! Barking Bee has a fully fenced-in yard where pups can safely get fresh air, exercise, and play. I also have two dogs of my own and a cat, so your pup will have the option to enjoy some furry company while staying in a familiar, home-like environment. Copper, my 5-year-old dog, is perfectly happy doing his own thing, while Soup, my playful puppy, is always ready for a game of chasing or play-fighting. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers to relax, there’s a place for them here! Dogs are welcome to cuddle up on the couches and make themselves comfortable, and I also have two medium-sized crates available at all times for any pup who needs a quiet space or some downtime.
About: I am recently separated from active duty in the Air Force, and looking for ways to help out the community during my transition. I have day to day experience with our needy cat, and experience when I was younger and our family owned dogs! I do not have any training experience, but I do have a 1 year old daughter, so I am patient and willing to learn and assist! During my time in the military, I learned skills of task management and attention to detail, so I will follow instructions diligently! I am transitioning into the reserves but currently have a lot of free time so I am very flexible until I start my full time job later this winter. For care in the clients home, I will follow any instructions. I am also very active, so if you have an active dog, I would be able to go for runs with them or take them to dog parks if requested.
About: Hi there! My name is Courtney! Growing up with both dogs and cats, I'm a lover of all pets, young, old, large, or small! I have experience with large and small dogs, even special needs kitties. We can do walks, hikes, even a play day in the park! I can also give your kitty all the attention and love they need (cat willing, haha). Whether it's potty breaks, play dates, or overnight stays, I'll be sure to give your pet all the love and attention they need! My husband and I adopted this retriever/hound and he went from 13lbs to 80lbs very quickly! We make sure he gets all the exercise and attention he deserves (he is very spoiled!). I live in a central location to most of Charleston and can be very flexible with my schedule and yours. I'm available for early drop ins and midday. Our dog is crate trained but sleeps with us. We train him regularly and can help with training your pet from walking on a leash to basics. I do spoil my pup a lot so I have pretty experience with that, haha. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!
About: I have always had a special connection with dogs of all sorts. I am a super friendly person and animals make me happy. I will treat your dog as my own and make sure when he or she is in my care has the best experience possible. I am currently in Real Estate and looking for a side gig and this seems absolutely perfect. I live downtown with a huge backyard and have extensive knowledge about the area. I grew up with a cocker spaniel and fell in love immediately (although I definitely do not discriminate) I am planning on getting a dog soon, just haven't had the opportunity quite yet but I look forward to meeting your pup! Hopefully I will see you soon!
“Abigail is communicative, quickly responds, sends many updates, is warm with Sullivan & responsible + prompt. Abigail watched Sullivan for me for an extended period of time & he was kept safe & happy. Will absolutely be hiring Abigail again to care of Sullivan in the future!”
“Emily was patient with Kora's first day timidness and jitters. I believe the walks went well and the trick of putting her food in her crate when leaving made it easier for all. Thanks Emily”
“Kristina was quick to respond and gave us a thorough update after walking Vegas. We knew she was in good hands and highly recommend Kristina! We’ll use her again for sure.”
“Emily did a great job walking our pups (each who has a different goal from the other) for this first week! She was polite and thoughtful, and the dogs had a great time. Looking forward to asking her to continue to return!”

Katrina walks my puppy every week, and she’s been wonderful! She’s always on time, sends thoughtful updates so I know how my girl is doing while I’m at work, and truly goes the extra mile – whether it’s cleaning up little messes, making sure she has fresh water and treats, or spending time playing with her. It gives me peace of mind knowing my puppy is in such good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Forestdale is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Forestdale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Forestdale after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forestdale. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
