Sierra was absolutely amazing! She was available last minute and took such great care of my dog Bonnie. My puppy can be hyper, and very needy, Sierra handled her beautifully. Extensive walks, treats, play time, feeding time and lots of belly rubs! I will 100% hire her again!!!

About: I’ve been saying for years that my life goal is to pet every dog I can—and Rover is the perfect way to do that while giving pets the care they deserve. I’ve had dogs for 15+ years (all rescues) and experience with everything from energetic ball lovers to laid-back cuddle bugs. I’m comfortable with all sizes, puppies, seniors, and administering medication, and I always tailor care to each dog’s personality and routine. I have a flexible daytime schedule, reliable transportation, and enjoy both active walks and relaxed hangouts. I’m also beginning volunteer work with a local animal shelter to continue growing my experience. My goal is simple: to build my new dog pack while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Since I work evenings as a DJ, I’m typically available during the hours when many pets need the most care and interaction. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks are something I already prioritize, and I’m just as happy spending relaxed time with dogs who prefer a calmer pace. Whether it’s drop-in visits, extended stays, or regular walks, I’m able to be consistent, reliable, and fully present for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your pet and your space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions—so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m very mindful about safety, including keeping doors secure, monitoring behavior, and making sure your pet is always in a safe environment. I’m also comfortable administering medication if needed and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. You can expect clear communication and updates during each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pet happy in their own home.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm caring for horses, cows, pigs, dogs, and other animals. That experience gave me a lifelong love of animals and a strong sense of responsibility for their care. Whether your furry friend is full of energy or prefers a quiet cuddle on the couch, I'll tailor my care to what makes them the happiest. I know how hard it can be to be away from your pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by providing dependable, loving care while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll treat your fur baby like family, because that is what they are. I am currently working full time. I am available on the weekends and after 5 pm on weekdays during the school year. During the summer and school breaks, my availability is more open. I make sure to spend time with your fur babies to make sure they feel like they are cared for. They will get play time and attention.

About: Hi! I’m an avid animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, along with birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, chipmunks, and even goldfish. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am. I understand that our fur babies are special souls and cherished members of the family. When your beloved pet is in my care, they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. It would be an absolute honor to provide a safe, happy, and comforting experience for your baby while you’re away. My days start early — which means I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and on weekends. I love having that balance in my day, especially when it comes to spending time with animals. At home, life revolves around my two dogs — a standard poodle and a terrier mix — along with my two rescue cats, all adopted from different rescues. Caring for them is part of my daily routine, from morning feedings and walks to evening playtime and snuggles. My home is calm, loving, and pet-centered, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, happy environment where animals feel comfortable and cared for. 🐾 When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how important consistency is, so I will follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to medications, play preferences, and bedtime routines. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, backyard playtime, enrichment activities, or quiet cuddle time, I adjust to your pet’s personality and energy level. I’m also respectful of your home. I’ll keep things tidy, provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind, and ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. Your baby will be treated like family every step of the way.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for several years! I personally own an American Stafford Pit and a Shihtzu which are two completely different type of dogs however I have watched them to grow into such loving siblings. I’ve always found myself more connected to dogs than any other animal. I treat everyone dog with the same love that I would give to my own. I am a full time musician/DJ, so most of my day time is available. Most of my events last up to 3 hours so it makes my availability pretty flexible which mostly occur at night. Due to this I have a good amount of availability to check on your lovely pets. I have a fenced in yard with a great amount of yard space. I also make sure that your dog is leashed at all times whenever I am walking them.

About: My whole life has always been centered around animals. Vacations included traveling to zoos and aquariums in other states. Many summers were spent going to zoology camps scrubbing buckets and prepping animal diets. I have an associates in general science and I am completing my education currently for a bachelors in science. I grew up surrounded by animals at home- furry, feathery, and scaley! I have always loved dogs and cats so this is a great opportunity for me to spend more time with creatures I adore. I volunteered at a local animal shelter for many years before I moved from New Jersey down to SC. Paired with going to a few zoology summer camps, I have lots of hands on time with animals of all kinds (up to cheetahs, elephants, and sharks!) I hope this shows that I will do my absolute best to take care of your babies while you aren’t home and will love them like they’re my own. I wouldn’t expect anything less for my animals when I have to leave them and that’s exactly what I want for your pets. Animals I have experience in personally caring for at home: dogs, cats, snakes, frogs, lizards, hermit crabs, saltwater and freshwater fish, hedgehogs, parrots/parakeets, hamsters, rabbits. I am more than willing to take care of any other pet you may have! I have a part time job as a barista with a varying schedule every week but I am available outside of those hours on both ends of my day. My schooling is 100% online so other than my work schedule I am fully available to your pets. I’m sure we can work something out with our schedules and I would love to be a part of your pets’ days. I will only be offering a limited number of services as well as accepting only a couple of clients at a time. I want to give each pet I meet the best care and all the attention they need.

ZaNayah has been awesome! Our two cats have some quirks and she's been taking amazing care of them. The pictures she sends are the best, they make our day while we can't be there to see the cats' shenanigans ourselves. There was never any doubt in my mind that our babies are in great hands.

Absolutely one of the best sitters I’ve had. She was unable to get in my house one day (my fault) and she immediately drove out of her way to my work to pick up my keys —> went all the way back to my house. I could not be more thankful, I appreciate you and anyone else who books her will be as well.

Emma has been caring for my dog for several years now and I honestly can’t recommend her enough. She’s super sweet, dependable, and really responsive. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals. My dog Gracie gets sooo excited when Emma comes in the door. I always know Gracie is safe, happy, and well taken care of when she’s with Emma. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and someone I feel totally comfortable having in my home and looking after Gracie. Anyone looking for a kind, responsible, dependable pet sitter would be really lucky to have Emma!

Nothing but great things to say about Perry. Perry accepted my very last minute booking request and also assisted with choosing the most suitable time window for drop-in visits. My Henrietta was not as warm & fuzzy as I had described her as being when first meet Perry. This quickly changed and by day 2 these 2 were going on walks and relaxing in the back yard together. Perry remained present but patient; with great success. I would recommend her to everyone.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Goose Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Goose Creek on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,700 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Goose Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Goose Creek stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Goose Creek. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
