About: As a lifelong dog lover, I offer reliable and flexible dog sitting services in your home or mine. I'm trustworthy, compassionate and love dogs. I have owned Dachshunds for many years, as well as a big, lovable hound. And, seniors have a special place in my heart. I am experienced and flexible, with decades spent in the corporate world before dedicating myself to caring for pets. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or daycare and overnight stays in my home. I live on Goat Island, which is only accessible by boat and has no cars. I pick-up at Isle of Palms marine on my skiff. My property includes a large yard and the island has a 3-mile sand road for walks. I always leash guests' pets and have one friendly Dachshund (Smalls). I'm happy to crate dogs if needed and prioritize keeping your dog's routine with walks, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of fun and snuggles.
“Riley was great! She was always on time and was loved dearly by my pets. She followed all of my directions and went above and beyond in taking care of both of my dogs for a week. I’d highly recommend her for pet sitting!”
About: Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a pediatric registered nurse who works three 12-hour night shifts each week. Because of my schedule, I have flexibility on my days off and can also provide care before or after my shifts depending on the booking. I always keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly so you’ll know exactly when I’m available. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions (if you’re comfortable with that), and routines to help your pet feel at home. As a pediatric nurse, I’m dependable, attentive to detail, and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I work three 12-hour night shifts each week as a pediatric nurse, so my schedule is flexible on my days off and changes from week to week. I keep my Rover calendar updated and communicate my availability clearly. Depending on my work schedule, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting before or after my shifts, as well as throughout my days off. I’ll always make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any routines that help your pet feel at ease. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, secure, and locking doors and gates before leaving. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’ll provide patient, individualized care while keeping you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, loved, and in good hands while you’re away.
“Emma watched Ava for two weeks while we were out of the country. I am so happy we had her as our sitter!! She was extremely reliable and timely and I could tell truly has a passion for animals. She is so sweet and took great care of our girl - and I would rebook her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I am a dependable pet sitter with a reputation for treating your animal just as I would my own! Being a dog and cat owner myself, I understand how important our pets are to our families, and strive to provide the utmost comfort for your pet while you're away. I am available for multiple services and have experience with animals of many types, sizes, and personalities. Whether it's a walk or two during your workday, a bit of time playing outside, or an extended stay in your home, I can do it all! The most frequent feedback I've received from previous clients is that they appreciate my flexibility, willingness to accommodate their schedules, and my genuine love for their pets! I have worked with animals for many years, including independent pet sitting services, an internship with a local veterinarian, and a year studying animal science in college. I can't wait to get to know you and your pet! I’m currently working on my small business (River’s Sweet Treats!), baked goods inspired by my own pup and pet care has been an amazing way pursue that dream! I have a flexible schedule and always try to accommodate my client’s needs the best I can. I’m excited to meet your pet! I have a small fenced in yard, perfect for midday potty breaks or just some outdoor lounging. My dog River is sweet and mild-tempered and gets along well with dogs and cats alike. He is content to play or just snooze with another dog in the house. If I’m pet sitting in your home, I do my best to keep your dog/cat as comfortable and close to their regular routine as possible. I’m also happy to help with other household tasks (plants, mail, etc) while I’m there!
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
“Cami is very reliable and takes great care of my dog with drop-in visits and walks several times per week. She is responsive to scheduling requests and is very professional. I enjoy seeing the photos of my dog during check-ins while at work!”
About: Animal lover overall with dogs topping the list. I have loved, cared for, and trained our family dogs from my younger years to the present. We currently have a golden named Tucker and a pitty named Mikey. Within IOP, Sullivans, and MP 29464 and 29465 areas, my schedule is flexible M-F enabling me to accommodate most owners schedules and needs whether play activities, short or long walks, or multiple dogs. We have two dogs and two cats who are part of our family. Tucker and Mikey are the dogs and Tuggs and Frank the cats. Our pets are part of our family so we protect, nurture, care, and love them just as they do for us. They are kept up to date on shots, heart worm, and vet visits as most good pet owners do.
About: I have had pets of all kinds my entire life! Cats, dogs of all sizes, birds, hedgehogs, you name it. I’ve been pet sitting for 10 years and love each pet as if they were my own! This is currently my main gig, and my husband works from home, so we have a lot of time to care for and play with your fur baby! I enjoy daily walks and snuggles. My husband and I currently have two cats and an aussiedoodle of our own who are used to other furry visitors, so yours will get lots of attention and play time! I have experience kennel training, puppy training, litter box cleaning, etc.
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life and recognize the important part they play in their family’s life. They deserve lots of love and attention, which unfortunately none of us have an endless amount of. That’s where I’d love to step in! Currently, my work schedule is random but often allows me to help where I can. I’m hoping to bring home a new pup later this year, but as I wait, I’d love to be able to help take care of yours! I’m very active and enjoy being outdoors, so I assure you your pet won’t be bored! I’m available for weekday drop ins and walks as well as weekend boarding. I’m most comfortable accepting boarding in my own home as I’m married, but special arrangements can be discussed if needed. I live 10 minutes from Sullivan’s island, so in addition to walks around Mt. Pleasant, I’d love to take your pup to the beach if you board with me!
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.
“Brielle did a great job with our dog, especially as a new person working with him. He is cautious with new people and he warmed up to Brielle immediately. She was punctual, great with communication, and very responsible. I highly recommend Brielle for any kind of pets!”
“Jessica was absolutely fantastic! My beautiful cat, Daisy, is a little anxious around new people, but Jessica's calm demeanor and experience made the meet-and-greet incredibly easy and stress-free. I will definitely be booking with Jessica again. I feel completely at ease knowing Daisy will be in such caring and capable hands!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, starting with feeding my neighbor’s cats while she was away as my first job. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and even farm animals including cows! As a physical therapist and owner of an energetic Australian Shepherd, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and exercise needs. Whether your dog is ready for an adventure or prefers a slower paced walk, I’ll tailor each visit to what they need. I’m reliable, punctual, and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own. As a mobile physical therapist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. I genuinely enjoy getting outside and spending time with dogs, and I do my best to work around your schedule while providing dependable, consistent care that fits your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they receive the care that’s right for them. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and always ensure your pet is secure before leaving. You can also expect timely updates and photos after each visit for added peace of mind.
“Carson is absolutely phenomenal. There was an issue with the apartment key and getting in and she stayed and worked with me and my apartment complex to let my dog out. She is super quick to respond, dependable, and cares about making sure your pet is well taken care of. She did a great job!”
“We were delighted with the care our cats received from Paige! Although they can be a bit shy (both rescues) they clearly warmed up to her quickly (nuzzling and petting in the first days photos). Communication with her was very quick and easy, and she is very pleasant in person also. We will definitely ask her to sit for our fluffs again!”
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. I’m a pharmacist by day, so my schedule often changes, please message me for availability I’m currently working part time as a pharmacist, please message me for availability! Available most weekends as well as throughout the week. Schedule does often change so message in advance and I can work something out I have a small fenced in yard, as well as 1 golden retriever puppy who is 8 months old that gets along well other dogs. I also am able to crate if needed and assist with any other needs. There are lots of walking paths near me so your pet can get plenty of exercise if needed.
“Zoey helped us out with very short notice. She visited our older and disabled dog twice during the day we were moving our son back to college. Zoey is wonderful! She sent us pictures and updates. I was not worried at all. Thank you Zoey!”

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 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.

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 Meet & Greet .
