“Hands down Vilma is the best Rover pet sitter we have ever used. She is caring and always puts our dog Whimsy at ease. We've had Vilma take care of Whimsy on three occasions and she has always gone above and beyond to make the experience exceptional. If you are in the Charleston, SC area and need a sitter...you should definitely contact Vilma.”

“Great experience! Aubrea took great care of my dog, Max, and made the whole drop off and pickup process easy. I really appreciated the communication and flexibility with my work schedule. Max seemed comfortable and happy, which gave me peace of mind while I was at work. I would definitely book again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet care.”
About: Dogs have been part of our family for our entire lives, and caring for them has always come naturally to us. We grew up with dogs and understand that they’re more than pets—they’re family members who deserve love, patience, attention, and a safe place to feel at home. We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and we treat every dog in our care like one of our own. Whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, keeping routines consistent, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, we focus on creating a calm and caring environment. Our goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely at ease—so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is being cared for like family. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and welcome them into ours! Pet care fits very well into my schedule because I work from home and have a flexible routine. I’m able to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, pets won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and individual needs. I love creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel cared for and part of the family Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I have a secure fenced yard where pets can safely play, explore, and get exercise under supervision. Since I work from home, I’m able to closely supervise pets and provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I take time to follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and preferences. I’ll treat every pet with patience, love, and care as if they were my own, while keeping owners updated for added peace of mind.

“Alita is amazing!!! Just moved here from Vegas and have been looking for a home away from home for my sweet baby Blue. My separation anxiety has been a bit high especially in a new state, new environmental variables with a Frenchie but Alita set all my worries to ease immediately!!! He had so much fun, made lots of new friends and I got lots of pics!! I couldn’t be happier!! I am so thankful!!”
“The first couple of times I took Kimber to Carrie’s she wanted to leave with me. She had terrible separation anxiety. (I got her from a shelter). After about a week, she got more comfortable. Now when I drop her off she walks in like she owns the place, plops down on the sofa and waits for Carrie to turn the tv on for her😂”
About: My jack, Russell terrier, Chili passed away in August of 2022. The house feels empty without a dog running around, but I’m not quite ready to be a full-time permanent mom just yet. However, I would love to take care of your loved one in My Home, and the house would not feel so empty. I have a fenced in yard. It’s not very big but plenty of room for a small, medium dog. I make your pet my first priority. I used to work from home and that was great because I was able to be with the pups all day and night. I now will be in the office on most week days. I do not work far from home so if needed, I can pop in at lunchtime. I have a fenced yard. Your fur babies are welcome on my furniture and the bed but if you prefer them to be crated, that is fine too.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Forestdale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 749 sitters in Forestdale, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
