About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember. When I was in elementary school, my mom and I created our own business cards for pet sitting and distributed them to our neighbors. Ever since then, I have been walking, boarding, and caring for animals regularly. Additionally, I have volunteered at local animal shelters and worked as a pet care technician at a dog daycare. I also take care of my lovely dog Rosie every day :) My schedule is very flexible, and I am currently available any day of the week. I can accommodate most pet care plans, including holiday and nighttime visits. I treat all animals with respect and love. I make sure to be very attentive to an animal's needs and emotions, meaning I give them their space if they appear nervous or unsure, but also give them lots of love and attention if they are comfortable. When going on walks, the temperature outside and on the pavement is always taken into consideration, as well as the dog's comfort level with walking and being outside. My own dog gets very nervous being outside, so I understand how overwhelming even the smallest things can be for an animal. Overall, I can assure you that your pet will be treated like family, and I will make sure they are well taken care of while you are away.
“Katrina was amazing!! We have 3 cats and they can be a handful at feeding time and I was so impressed at the level of care and attention Katrina provided. Her ability to manage all three cats, including the rowdy one, was remarkable. She was so patient and caring with them. She sent us photos and videos every day and always provided an update on how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets. We will be using her services in the future. Thank you again Katrina for taking such great care of our cats! They loved you!”
“Kelsey took care of our 2 cats while we were gone. She went above and beyond tidying up their mess and sweeping the floors around the litter boxes. One of our cats is elderly and has digestive issues so there was a lot to clean up and she did an amazing job checking in on them. She sent detailed reports and pictures every day and was communicative, responsive, and prompt. Both of our cats seemed very well taken care of and happy when we got home. Thank you Kelsey!”
“Kierstin was awesome watching my cats! She sent lots of pics while I was gone which I greatly appreciated and was always very timely with her responses. Highly recommended and would use her again as a 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.
“I would give him more stars if I could! We had to book a sitter last minute/ day of and Paul responded so quickly to my message. He sent us pictures and made us feel so safe and comfortable knowing our pup was in great hands. He went above and beyond. We will definitely be using his services again, we appreciate you Paul!!”
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 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.
“Margie went above and beyond during her twice a day home visits that I needed for my elderly cat. Margie sent many pictures, spent times him, and cleaned his especially not fun litter box, due to his age. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for dogs, which means safety, reliability, and attention to detail are always my top priorities. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and providing extra patience and comfort. Having moved here from Philly, I truly miss having a dog of my own, so I treat every pet I care for like family. I’m calm, observant, and dependable, and I’m especially comfortable with routines, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra care or reassurance. Whether it’s walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off where I’m completely available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care.I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. As a nurse, I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I carefully follow all routines and instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s environment clean, calm, and familiar. In my home, pets are supervised, never left unattended for long periods, and kept in a secure, comfortable setting. I use leashes at all times outdoors unless otherwise instructed and avoid dog parks unless explicitly approved. I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“Elizabeth was the best! She communicated very well. Bart loved her and he can be picky. Not with Elizabeth! She sent me photos and Bart had a blast. I will definitely use Elizabeth again and recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
“Richard as a life savior for me! We had a trip planned for a year. Our house was a total disaster because remodeling was underway. I have a large group of cats and the care is above average. Because Richard sent me photos and maintained the cleaning , i was able to enjoy my vacation despite the chaos of the remodeling and leaving my cats. THANK YOU RICHARD!!!”
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.
“Autumn was a complete life savor. She checked-in on my pup Bella and helped out with my requests as Bella wasn’t feeling well which made me feel great, knowing my girl was in good hands!!”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and have a big passion for the safety and well being of all animals. I have been dog sitting since I was young and have continued to dog sit for regular clients in my hometown for many years before moving. I am friendly, reliable and understand that all dogs have different needs. I am happy to call and introduce myself prior, I look forward to meeting you and your pup(s)! My job is flexible since I make my own schedule majority of the time. I am happy to come over to walk your dog, play with them, give them cuddles or just check on their food/water. I am also happy to host at my apartment since I can spend lots of time with them. I am flexible to your needs! I am capable of any care needed for your pet and would be excited to do it! I understand that all dogs should be treated and cared for based on their own needs while ensuring safety at all times. If you are wanting your dog to stay at my apartment, we are very dog friendly here and have a fenced in play area for them.
“I will always book with Kilee! She has gotten to know my dog so well and is intuitive to his needs. She has let me know exactly how the visits went and any concerns or changes in his behavior or potty habits. I am so thankful I’ve found someone as reliable as her!”
“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!”

Lila is an incredibly professional and caring pet sitter. She took the best care of my dog Sadie. Her updates were so descriptive and fun to read! I could tell that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dog and took the time to get to know her unique personality.
Erika was wonderful with Poe! Our automated feeder broke during our trip and she made an ”executive decision” to just take care of it so our cat had enough food. Best pet sitter! We plan on using her again and for my friend’s dog. Highly recommend using her!

Madelyn is AMAZING!! She is an excellent communicator, plus super reliable. I had her check on Kacey for a weekend out of town and my kitty just loved her. Madelyn sent great pictures and a write up, she is a dream of a pet sitter. Absolutely rebooking any time I am out of town, thank you so much Madelyn! 💛

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.
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.

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.
