“Alison was great with our dog while we were gone on vacation. Alison fulfilled all her obligations and provided exceptional care for our dog. We are very pleased with the service that Alison provided.”
About: I’m dependable, loving, and attentive, treating every pet like my own. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work mostly nights so I will be able to walk or take care of animals all throughout the day! I can do anything before 3! I take my cats very seriously, if there is any sign of anything I’m immediately take them to the vet, I feed them twice a day with a mixture of wet and dry food and some probiotics! And I play with them for at least an hour a day!
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.
About: I am an all around animal lover. I grew up with a variety of pets - dogs, cat, turtle, hamster and more. I now have 2 goofy and crazy pit bulls who I adore. Being adopted - they both have their share of quirks. One of our dogs was very mistreated before she was in our care. She now struggles with being leash and dog reactive - and she can be tricky when meeting new people. Because of this - I know how stressful it can be to find a pet sitter you can trust. My dogs are like children to me, and I know the energy, love, and care they deserve. My dogs have truly changed my life and I hope that I can be someone that can give you a sense of peace while you are away. Because of my special pups - my home is not a good environment for boarding. I am open to Drop Ins, Walks, and the occasional overnight in your home. I would like to do a meet and greet before every first visit - to ensure that you, your pets, and I all feel safe and confident. One of my dogs has bad allergies and I give her medicine every day. I have a lot of experience with giving dogs pills. I do not have any other medication administration experience - but I am open to learning if this is something you would like. I took both of my dogs to training classes. First dog for 3 years - second dog for 2 years. So I have a basic understanding of commands and other dog behaviors. I work from home with sporadic in person meetings. My schedule is flexible and I am able to build it around appointments. The earlier you let me know the times you'd like for me to work - the easier it will be for me to mark off that time for you. I work a hybrid position where I mostly work from home and then also have in person meetings throughout the week. I set the meeting times myself - so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to check in on your pups throughout the work day and I have weekends off. I have two dogs of my own at home who are large and somewhat reactive to other dogs. Because of this, I do not feel comfortable watching your pets in my home. I would love to do drop ins - where I can come in, care for you pet, and give them quality time and attention. I am open to walking dogs as well, but I would prefer a meet and greet to go over walking details and if I feel comfortable walking more than one at once- or if your dog has any quirks I may want to see before the first walk. I am open to doing an overnight in your home - but I would prefer to have already met your pet a few times so that I feel comfortable and I would like to meet you as well to establish our relationship before staying in your home.
About: I have owned dogs & a cat for all my life! I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and attitudes. I have personally owned a gray cat, Yorkie, Rottweiler, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and a chocolate Lab. I have experience with all ages as well from puppies/kittens to elderly animals. I am currently in graduate school for my Master’s and do it online so I am home almost all day. Your pet will definitely get the one-on-one time they want and need. I love having an animal to keep me company! I live in an apartment but my complex has plenty of space to do walks and a fenced in yard for any dogs who want to run around. Personally, I also don’t mind animals who like to lay on the couch or chairs or similar furniture.

About: Hi! Animals have pretty much always been the center of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, have been pet sitting since I was 12, earned my degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech, and spent two years working professionally with horses after college. I currently work in veterinary client care and have plenty of experience with everything from daily care and medications to the occasional pet who has very specific opinions about how things should be done. I have my own Australian Shepard, Ripley, so I’m no stranger to zoomies, long walks, and pup cups! I’m comfortable with pets of all different personalities and needs, and I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to whatever routine makes your pet happiest. I also know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so pictures and updates are always part of the deal! My work schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for pet care on both weekdays and weekends. I keep my availability updated and am happy to work with you to find care that fits your pet’s normal routine. When I’m home, I spend lots of time walking, playing, and going on adventures with my own dog. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having company! I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, and any other preferences you have. For pets staying with me, I’ll always make sure everyone is comfortable together and has their own space when needed. In your home, I’ll treat your pet, their routine, and your space with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: Lifelong animal lover with 25 years in rescue, fostering, and pet sitting. Experienced in medication administration and 20+ years volunteering with cats and dogs. I love playing with them and will follow any specific directions you have. I also will send you lots of photos! Im available when I am not traveling or volunteering somewhere else. I am available most weekends and holidays. Most of the time available short notice I will be very careful to keep your pets safe. And follow any specific directions you have. Safety is the most important thing to me
“Ashley did a great job of taking care of our cats.She was very responsive and thorough in providing updates to us. Both of my cats warmed up to her even though they are usually shy around strangers. I would book Ashley again!”


“I needed some help getting my 80 pound dog into the car so I could take her for a checkup after knee surgery. Jonathan worked with our schedule and made sure our senior puppo could make it to her vet appt. Thanks again Jonathan!”

About: I live in Ladson and would love to help you by taking care of your pets! I am an animal lover and want to take care of your baby just like they are my own I work full time during the week, but I do have weekends off. I am available Friday PM-Sunday all day anytime to help you out! I do live in an apartment but have plenty of space to play and care for your pets. Potty breaks are not a problem at all, as I can take them out anytime they need. I also have a dog park in the complex and plenty of walking space to get exercise throughout the day!
About: I just moved to Charleston, but have been a pet sitter for many families in Georgia, Florida, and Colorado. I was a live in nanny for 2 years, and during that time, the family got a puppy that I helped take care of. I also have a senior cat who I rescued as a kitten. I absolutely love animals and have had many different pets throughout my life (bearded dragon, dog, cats, fish, bunnies, geckos, snake, turtle, etc.). I am a part time wedding planner and substitute teacher, so I make my own schedule. I have a 5 year old daughter that I drop off at school at 7:15am and pick up at 2:30pm, so I have the whole day to do whatever I need to do without her. She also loves pets, so if your pet likes children, she may join after school! I have a screened in patio and am on the first level in my apartment building. We have lots of trees/greenery in the complex and there are many parks nearby. If I am in your home, I will treat it just like mine. I do ask that my 5 year old daughter is welcome in your home for overnights, and she can stay in the same bed as me.
“Love Casey Anne! My cat loves her too. She is so flexible and easygoing. Whenever I needed someone last minute she was there to help me out. Great with animals. Thank you so much!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve spent over 8 years caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. As a Great Dane owner, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality, and I make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages throughout every visit! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. I carefully plan my days to ensure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and affection while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests exactly as provided. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm senior dogs and independent cats. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they are my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just providing companionship, I make sure each visit is filled with care and consistency. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions and maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in responsible, loving hands and getting the attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I am available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on the day, and I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine. I am also available for weekend care and can provide drop-in visits, walks, and extended care when needed. I understand consistency is important for pets, so I do my best to stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to discuss and do my best to accommodate. Please note for boarding in my home, I have a dog myself and would require a meet and greet between pets before booking. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully and ensure pets are cared for in a calm, secure, and familiar environment. All care will be provided in the client’s home or during walks, which helps reduce stress for pets and keeps them in their normal routine. I am attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I make it a priority to ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always handled responsibly during visits and walks. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to build trust through clear communication, reliability, and consistent care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and secure.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hanahan
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!

Gracie was so attentive and caring during the time she spent with my dog, Laila. She administered medication, and spent lots of time playing with and giving her loads of attention. I highly recommend her! Professional, responsible and great with detailed communication. 5 stars all around!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hanahan choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
