About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up in a family full of dogs, I’ve been around them my entire life and understand how to meet each pup’s unique needs. I’m dependable, patient, and focused on making every walk safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s personality. I’ll treat your dog like part of my own family! Dog walking fits naturally into my day. I enjoy being active and make time in my schedule to give each dog a safe, fun, and consistent walk. I’m available for walks Mon-Fri after 6pm & all day Sat-Sun! During walks, I treat every dog like my own. I follow your routine and preferences, make sure your dog feels comfortable on their leash, and tailor the walk to their energy level. Whether it’s a slower stroll or a more active walk, I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had 10 + years of pet experience. From early age I’ve always had small to large dogs. My most recent elderly golden retriever passed, and I now have an adorable 8 month old golden retriever. Neighbors rely on me still to care for their pets when out of town. Your pets are in good hands and I’m knowledgable to assist with any and all pet needs.

“This was my first Rover experience and it will definitely not be my last!! Stephanie was awesome at communicating throughout the whole time. I felt so comfortable having her taking care of my babies!”
About: I’ve taken care of furry friends of all types since I was around 10 years old. I’ve also been a long time dog owner and trusted pet sitter for many years. I’m earning my bachelors degree in biology and love caring for the animals who make our lives so much better. I am pretty flexible with my schedule. Dog walking can be at any time of day between 6am and 8pm. Pet sitting visits that do not require me to stay over can be between 6am and 10pm. I am happy to comply with any of the guidelines or accommodations you and your pets have. Our pets deserve the best and I wouldn’t expect anything less from their sitter/walker.
“Melanie was absolutely awesome. She was so helpful with all of my needs, and she had no problem at all helping me out with extra issues that came up! She was very responsive and asked great questions, and she did an amazing job engaging with my cats and playing with / taking care of them. I felt at ease knowing she was there to take care of them, and I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Feeling , thinking , and caring for animals is how I dedicate my time with them and that’s all that makes sense because they can’t talk 🙂 Unemployment from paid jobs has found me , unfortunately , so I have a lot of time to truly give animals the imaginative ideals that they deserve ! I have an extra room with a caged bird and extra lively arrangements like TV , radio , paint water out of reach , an old couch , and places for water and food bowls
About: I've had a dog my entire life up until now. I can take care of puppies, seniors, large dogs, small dogs, dogs without a tail and puppies in diapers. Med administration and vitals checks are ready to go too. I just became a student and somehow have found myself pet free for the first time. I'm pretty available all the time and would love to love on your fur babies. I have a half fenced in yard they can run around in. They can get on the couch or the bed of they want to. Pet friendly house with nothing edible in dog's/cat's reach. Plenty of great places to walk around Mount Pleasant.
About: I have had the responsibility of taking care of dogs since I was 6. Always had a dog in the house growing up. I have been asked to take care of dogs of family and friends. Whether it be housing their dogs, checking in and walking, or staying at their place to care for their pets. I do work M-F locally full time. I am able to go home at lunch time during the weekdays to walk and take care of your pet. Weekends I am off and available any time. I live in an apartment complex that has a completely fenced in dog park. I own a medium size dog who is relaxed, but playful and good with every dog he has ever met. On weekend I take my dog to the larger fenced in dog parks in the area for him to run around. I usually walk my dog 4 times a day. Once in the morning, once at lunch, and 2-3 times in the afternoon/night.
“Here’s a suggestion for your review: Jennifer was absolutely amazing in taking care of my cat while I was away! She was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with regular communication, which made me feel at ease. It was clear that she truly cares about animals, and my cat was well looked after. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have had pet dogs, large and small, my entire life. I will give your precious pet the attention and love we both know they deserve. I can offer a quick potty walk, long leisurely strolls, or active playtime, whatever suits your needs. I am currently working as a part-time freelance graphic designer so I have an open and flexible schedule to fit you and your pet in as needed. I can take recommended routes, but I am happy to create an adventure with your pet. I respect all dog parenting styles and will happily follow any training or behavioral instructions that you prefer.
About: I’ve had dogs of my own and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for years. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pup like my own. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I recently launched my own business, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to prioritize walks and visits throughout the day. I love having pet care as part of my week and make sure each visit gets my full attention. During walks and drop-in visits, I care for pets the same way I would my own. I follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get exercise, fresh water, and attention, and keep safety top of mind at all times. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and always communicate updates so pet parents feel at ease.
About: Hi, I'm Emerson! I have had dogs in the family since I was 2. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends since I can remember. I have experience with very laid-back dogs, as well as more high-maintenance dogs. I just lost my dog of over 15 years, Scout, and am not ready for another dog yet. So caring for yours would be so fulfilling in this time without a dog at home! I work from home, so my flexibility is pretty wide open. I understand the trust you put in someone when allowing them to care for your pet, and I take that very seriously. I will care for your dog as if they are my own. I love all animals, but have a heart for dogs, and hope that you will allow me to care for yours! I work full time from home, so I have a very flexible schedule! Weekday jobs preferred over weekends. I have a work obligation every Saturday morning through early afternoon, so am unavailable or would have to be away from your home (if the service is house sitting) during that time. I am in a condo in a great, active location. The neighborhood is close to shops and has lots of safe walking trails that are off the beaten path and away from traffic. I live 5 minutes from the beach, so if your dog loves the beach, we'll be there a lot!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Isle of Palms stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Isle of Palms 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
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.
To find sitters in Isle of Palms with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
