About: Been taking care of a variety of dog breeds since I was 15. Recently moved to the Charleston area after 2 years at Clemson where I dog-sat for a great family consistently. Available for anything from house sitting to short walks (maybe even a hike!). I mostly work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility to stop in when needed. If you need me to stay for the whole day or several hours I can do that as well as long as you have WiFi! I make sure pets have enough stimulation during the day to remain both physically and mentally healthy. Whether it’s going on walks, playing fetch, or little games around the house I try to keep them engaged throughout the day. For more reserved pets I am conscious of giving them their space and gradually building trust.
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. I have an undying love for animals of all shapes, sizes and colors. Leaving your pets at home can be stressful for both of you, let me ease your anxiety with drop by or sitting services and I will love them like they're my own. I have reliable transportation to your home or local park. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet drop-in visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and will make sure they receive the attention, care, and companionship they need. Unfortunately, I am only accepting single night stay-overs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and daily routines. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their individual needs and personality. Whether caring for a playful puppy, a senior dog, or an independent cat, I provide patient, attentive care and regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“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: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and nothing makes me happier! I work with horses professionally, and have also raised, fostered, and trained puppies and kittens. We love big dogs, small dogs, many dogs, any dog! I’ve taken dogs on roadtrips across the country, on horseback rides, on boats and kayaks, and countless adventures! My partner and I suddenly find ourselves without a dog of our own, so we would love to welcome yours into our home. We have a safe, comfortable, child-free, single story house with a doggie door onto a screened in porch and a fenced in yard. We live on a cul-de-sac with awesome neighbors and several wonderful pups, so if your dog is social they can make many friends! And if they’re not, our backyard is fenced and private. We’re more than happy to have them on our couches and beds (as long as that’s allowed at home) and we also have a crate if that’s where they feel safe! We are comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, or anything in between, and I have basic veterinary skills that allow me to administer oral medications as well as intramuscular and subcutaneous injections as needed. My partner works from home, and I am currently between seasonal jobs, so our lives are well suited to revolve around pets! We have a doggie door that leads to our fenced in yard, so dogs can take themselves out as they like, and cats can access the screened in porch. I also love taking walks through our neighborhood, which has safe streets as well as wooded trails and access to several creeks if anyone wants to swim! The cul-de-sac is also perfect for throwing a ball or frisbee, if your dog is into that kind of thing. We spend most evenings at home snuggled up on the couch, which has plenty of room for four legged guests (: Our home is safe and child-free, and (unfortunately) does not currently have any resident pets. We live on a cul-de-sac set far back in our neighborhood and have access to several wooded trails and marsh creeks. We have a dog door that leads to a screened in porch and a fenced in yard, which we have trained dozens of dogs to use over the years. I love taking walks, playing, and curling up on the floor or sofa for snuggles. I am also well trained in the art of giving mindless and continuous scratches. I’ve worked with many types of animals with all kinds of preferences, and I’m always happy to meet them where they’re at!
About: My partner Brittany and I have owned dogs our whole lives and our love for them only continues to grow. We have owned a wide variety of dogs such as Siberian Huskies, Standard Poodles, and chihuahuas. We currently have one great little Chihuahua named Rudy. He is super friendly, especially with other dogs and cats! Brittany currently works from home and I work part time so we are always available for your pet’s needs. We have a backyard and a dog park in our complex so we can make sure your pet gets plenty of outside time and walks. Brittany currently works from home and I work part time so we are always available for your pet’s needs. Let us know your needs and we will accommodate! We have a fenced backyard, as well as a dog park in our complex. Our dog Rudy is very friendly with all other dogs and cats so your pet will have a friend for their whole stay!
“Haley was GREAT with our two black labs (10yrs and 18 weeks) She came over for a meet and greet and the pups (and the cats too) warmed up to her immediately. She always showed up on time and stayed at least a half an hour. She took lots of pictures and communicated everything that happened on her visit well. We would definitely recommend Haley and will book her again!”
“Molly did a fantastic job. When she came to my home for an interview, it was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and is concerned for their well being. My dog and cat, each of which has special health isdues, were immediately drawn to her and I could see that she really cared about them. While I was away she followed my instructions, kept me informed on how they were doing, sent pictures and made me feel very comfortable that they were being well cared for. I highly recommend Molly, and will definitely request her in the future.”
“Dixie Booboo was alive and well when I came home. I’m sorry she was a little bitch and didn’t want to eat for you. She ate the rest of her food packet when I got home. Thank you for taking care of her. I think she was just mad because she only had 1 toy out. She got out 3 more last night. Thanks for putting up with my spoiled little girl 🐕🦺”
“I booked Peyton sorta last minute and thankfully, she was available. She was thorough, competent and very professional. Everything was neat and clean when we returned home, but most of all, our kitties were well taken care of! I really appreciate all the effort she puts into making the kitties happy and owners, like me, feel that someone is there for them. Thanks Peyton 😊”
“My sweet old potato is very particular about who is around him and he LOVED Jonathan! Absolutely wonderful experience. We will definitely be booking again. He went above and beyond and sent me pictures of every visit to make sure everyone was happy and thriving while we were away.”
“Rachel is amazing! She was always very responsive and took great care of my kitties. She always gave good updates with details and pics so I always felt at peace while I was away that my cats were well taken care of.”
“David was fantastic, wonderful communication and provided photos with each drop in visit. It made being away much easier knowing what great care David was giving our dog. Highly recommend !”
“Teresa was amazing. She was so sweet to our Wrigley and gave him lots of love and attention. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the weekend and it was comforting to see how he was doing. Her communication was great. We will definitely be booking her again!!”
About: Iv taken care of dogs & cats for a few years now along side my previous job, I am experienced in senior care and special dietary needs and also with animals who are more energetic and may need more 1-1 time Just recently moved to the area, it’s my first time on the Rover app, I have years of experience with both cats and dogs. If my profile is set to away for sitting then please reach out and I will see if I can help! I currently have my own dog who was rescued a few years ago, my passion is animals and you can be stress free knowing your fur baby will be well looked after!
About: I have always been around dogs since I was born. I adore animals and taking care of them as well as owning them. My neighbors, friends, family, and clients have trusted me to walk, bathe, feed and play with their dogs. Growing up I have had three Rhodesian Ridgebacks so I am used to large dogs as well. Additionally I have owned a cat, and horseback ride on the side. I'm an every-animal lover:)! I start nursing school the last week of August, and will mostly be available on weekends and Thursdays. I can work out a more flexible weekday schedule once I am able to get to know my academic schedule better! I currently live in an apartment complex and do not have any pets at this time. It is easy for me to drive to locations for dog-walking. For dog-sitting I cannot at my apartment, but can drive or walk to owner's house.

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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Johns Island stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Johns Island 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Johns Island with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
