About: I spent several years working at a veterinary hospital and for a professional pet sitting company, so I’ve cared for just about every animal you can think of: dogs, cats, turtles, fish, goats, horses, you name it! I’m comfortable with all ages, from tiny newborns to wise seniors, and even those who require special care. I take a lot of pride in getting even the shyest, most skeptical animals to warm up to me. That’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the job! At home, I have a senior Shiba Inu, a cat, and three planted aquariums full of fish, shrimp, and snails, so animal care is truly a way of life for me. I’m available any day of the week, as early or as late as you need. Last minute requests are always welcome! I know how hard it can be to leave your babies with someone new. My goal is to make the whole experience as comfortable and stress free as possible. Pet sitting is my full-time focus right now, so my entire schedule is built around it. Early mornings, late evenings, weekends, whatever you need! I provide care in your home, so your pet stays in their own space with their own routine. I’m experienced with medications, special diets, and pets with various medical needs from my years in veterinary care.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. Mainly dogs, but also cats, birds, hamsters, fish, and reptiles. I am a lover of all living things — including my plants! I firmly believe any living thing deserves the same care as humans. I am a very kind, caring, and patient individual with a passion in my heart to nurture. I work full time, half from home and half out and about at different businesses. I spend my free time caring for pets and helping others out as often as I can. I am a huge homebody so it’s typically never difficult to merge my pet care schedule with my full time job schedule. I am very considerate of not only my own home, but anyone else’s as well. I treat each environment with respect, and follow the directions in which I’m being instructed to.
“Tillman and Cash had a great time with Kaylie this weekend, while I was in Myrtle Beach. She kept them on schedule, and that meant no mess in the house.She and Jon played with them and left a fun goodie bag of toys and treats for them after her last visit. I highly recommend Kaylie for her responsiveness, care and TLC for my cat and dog.”

“Amber was super kind amd followed everything we asked of her. She provided a little blurb about each visit along with super adorable photos of my two cats. This was my first time using Rover and it all went amazing!”


About: I have lived with and loved dogs since I was born. I have best fur friends of my own. Sari and Basil. Both are comfortable around others; we are all excited to be around other pups of all sizes. I have an extremely flexible schedule and a welcome home. I live in a house in West Ashley that offers plenty of space as well as a huge fenced in yard, a park nearby which we will visit and plenty of walk ability. My son Lukas, 19, is also excited to be around more dogs and will love them as his own, as well. We can't wait to meet you all!! I work home home so your pup will never be Alone. I am available for dog walks, drop ins, boarding and over night stays. Looking forward to Meeting you! I have a fenced in yard for running and playing. I can be available for potty breaks, feeding and medication administration. Please let me know if you have any preferences
“Ellen is amazing and we are so thankful for how well she cares for our dog. She is amazing with communication and our dog absolutely loves her!! Thanks for everything Ellen!”

About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. From a young age, I was the one looking after our family pets, and that love only grew over time. In 2020, I welcomed my own dog, Hoss. He quickly became my best friend and a true part of my family. Because of that bond, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog and cat I watch with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Hoss now has a younger brother, Dooley, an English Springer Spaniel with a sweet and easygoing personality. Together, they help create a calm, welcoming environment for visiting pets. They love to play when another dog is interested, but they are also very respectful of dogs who prefer space, rest, or a quieter visit. My husband and I own a house in West Ashley with a doggy door that leads to a big fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to romp around. Both the greenway and a park nearby are within walking distance for our walks around the neighborhood. One of the things that sets me apart is the range of care I can provide. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including the patience and consistency needed during teething, house-training, and early routines. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medication, monitoring comfort levels, and making sure they feel safe, supported, and relaxed. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and in need of extra attention, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. My husband and I also foster for local rescues, including Journey Home Alliance and Lowcountry Lab Rescue. Through fostering, we have worked with dogs who have separation anxiety and need extra reassurance, structure, and patience to come out of their shell. Helping those dogs feel secure and comfortable in a temporary home has been one of the most meaningful parts of my experience, and it has strengthened my ability to care for pets with different personalities, backgrounds, and emotional needs. Our home is a friendly and flexible space for pets of different temperaments. Both Hoss and Dooley are dog-friendly and know how to read another dog’s energy—if a guest wants to play, they are happy to join in, and if a guest prefers to relax, they are equally content to give them space. They are also cat friendly, so we are comfortable caring for households with feline family members as well. Our goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away! I'm currently working from home, so I have more flexibility during the day for drop ins, walks, and boarding. I also have availability on the weekends. Between me and my husband, someone is generally almost always home. We have a fenced in yard with two animal friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. They are used to having animals come and go in our house through fostering rescue animals. Animals are treated like family in our home and are allowed on furniture. I can also easily crate your dog if needed while I am away from the house.
About: I’ve been responsible for pets in my family since I was young. Most recently my own dog of about 8 years needed spine surgery and her post operation care was extensive. I have also on occasion dog and cat sat for friends and family when needed for several years. I work full time, so I do have limited availability. I will mostly be available for drop-ins and walks, but may be able to do overnights in the right circumstance. Whatever your instructions, I will do my best to follow them. I’m adaptable to you and your pets needs, just let me know how you would like your pet care handled.
About: Hi there! I have grown up taking care of dogs and cats my whole life! I love getting to bond with dogs by giving them walks, back scratches, and treats! Each dog has such a sweet and unique personality which is one of my favorite things about dog walking. I love getting see their excitement during our walks and playtime so it is a priority to bond with each fur baby and learn what they enjoy. I am very flexible and adapt to you and your pets needs so just let me know how to best care for you and your puppy :) I currently work full-time at MUSC as a research assistant so pet care is best for me on the weekends. I’ve loved getting to get out and about on dog walks because I love spending time with animals and it’s a good way to stay active in an office job! Since I have grown up around animals and spent time with a variety of pets, I have proficient knowledge on how to care for your pets and signs to look for to make sure your pet is at ease. I feel comfortable around all kinds of dogs and will always educate myself the best I can about the surrounding area.
“Lacy and Carson are the best! They took great care of my kitty while I was out of town. They were also very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend for anyone needing a dog/cat sitter.”

About: In search of bellies to rub and ears to scratch. Let me take care of your loved ones when you aren't able or simply need a break.

About: I have been taking care of my dog, Jack, for the past 6.5 years! Jack has epilepsy so I have experience taking care of medically complex dogs. I’m currently working from home so I will be able to give your dog the love and attention they deserve! In the past, we had a dog walker who loved on our dog just as much as us and it gave us so much peace of mind! I have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I am willing to watch your pup with a similar routine they keep at home to keep them relaxed and happy!

About: I grew up helping care for animals whether it was dog/cat sitting my neighbors pets or walking dogs for the families I babysit. They have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I also have a super sweet aussie shepherd that would love a playmate if you allow other dogs while housesitting. I am an extremely positive and energetic person who has a big heart for animals. Taking the best care of your little fur-baby is the most important thing to me and I will be sure to follow all instructions you give me. I want to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you are away! If there are special accommodations needed for your pet, we will go into further detail so your pet is comfortable and safe while you are gone. We will stick to a schedule and routine you set for each visit. I am currently working during the week but I’ll have plenty of time to play with your animals on Friday evenings and the weekends! I’m also available to do drop in visits during the week, if so desired! I live in a townhouse with a backyard, dog park next door, and have a dog to keep yours company. I can easily crate if needed.
“Stephanie T is probably the best sitter on Rover! She shows up every visit on time and spends easily more than the required 30 min playing with my dog Ollie. She goes over and beyond to make sure he gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. Ollie definitely enjoys her visits and I feel completely safe leaving him in her care! She leaves detailed reports on his Rover cards and always let's me know how his day went. I would easily recommend her to anyone needing the highest quality dog sitter!”

Johns Island dog parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor was fantastic and agreed to a last-minute booking when we needed someone quickly! She came and did a meet & greet, and had a very calm trustworthy presence which helped ease my anxiety. She was punctual and communicative and I would definitely book with her again.

Erin was so great with our pups and so attentive to them. She made sure they were well taken care of, and made sure they had plenty of interactive play time during her drop in! Love that she keeps me updated throughout the drop in and shares tons of photos! Very flexible and easy to work with my difficult schedule and last minute needs!

Amber was great and would I’d gladly recommend her to anyone who is in need. She took the time to come and meet my dog and write down all of the details. She didn’t just drop in and let my boy out for a bathroom break, she also took him on walks around the neighborhood, played fetch, and cleaned up after his excited pees - what more can you ask for? If you want peace of mind and good communication, Amber is just that.

Isabella was amazing with my pup, Penny! My dog doesn't always get on with new people, but Penny warmed up right away, which says a lot. She was super communicative with photos of their walks and their day. She brought in all our holiday packages and left the house even cleaner than when I left! Highly highly recommend!

I had a great first experience with Amber. She took excellent care of my two dogs, including one with special needs, and handled everything with care and reliability. Communication was good-and I was out of touch in meetings most of the day. I felt confident they were in good hands and would gladly have her sit for us again.
