“Elizabeth did such an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She went the extra mile sending me pictures and updates! my cats were so happy/content when I came back, they had such a great weekend! Elizabeth is so easy to communicate with and very friendly/reliable. Cannot wait to have her back 🧡”
“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!!”
“Grace was absolutely awesome! She went above and beyond by spending extra time and making additional visits so she could get to know my dog and help her feel comfortable and safe. I really appreciated how patient and caring she was, and she also went out of her way to make sure my apartment was kept in great condition. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Grace again! Highly recommend!”
About: I just moved to Charleston, but have been a pet sitter for many families in Georgia, Florida, and Colorado. I was a live in nanny for 2 years, and during that time, the family got a puppy that I helped take care of. I also have a senior cat who I rescued as a kitten. I absolutely love animals and have had many different pets throughout my life (bearded dragon, dog, cats, fish, bunnies, geckos, snake, turtle, etc.). I am a part time wedding planner and substitute teacher, so I make my own schedule. I have a 5 year old daughter that I drop off at school at 7:15am and pick up at 2:30pm, so I have the whole day to do whatever I need to do without her. She also loves pets, so if your pet likes children, she may join after school! I have a screened in patio and am on the first level in my apartment building. We have lots of trees/greenery in the complex and there are many parks nearby. If I am in your home, I will treat it just like mine. I do ask that my 5 year old daughter is welcome in your home for overnights, and she can stay in the same bed as me.
“We cannot thank Lacy and Carson enough for the incredible care they provided to our dogs while we were in Italy for two weeks. Leaving your pets behind for that long can be stressful, but they made the entire experience completely worry free. They visited three times a day, made sure our dogs were fed and cared for, and treated them with so much love and attention. They were always responsive, sent tons of great pictures, and provided thoughtful updates that made us feel connected to our pups even from across the ocean. It was obvious from every photo and message that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and genuinely loved. Knowing Lacy and Carson were looking after them allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without ever having to wonder if our dogs were okay. Coming home to happy, healthy dogs was the best feeling. We are so grateful for their kindness, reliability, and exceptional care. Thank you both for going above and beyond for our family—we would trust you with our dogs again in a heartbeat and recommend you to anyone looking for truly outstanding pet sitters. ❤️🐾🐾”
About: As a devoted pet lover and owner of two dogs. Maddie and Baylor. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I treat each pet like family and strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable experience while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As the owner of two dogs, Maddie and Baylor, I have a flexible schedule and can provide the time, attention, and care needed to help your pet feel safe, happy and loved. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions and treat every pet as if they were my own.
“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.”
About: I grew up helping with a farm, worked as an exotic veterinary technician for over 10 years, helped with animal rescue, wildlife rehab and studied zoology during my undergrad. I’ve been fortunate to spend my personal life with many pets over the years, including fish, lizards, turtles, hamsters, a parrot for 30 years and several cats and dogs. Does your pet have a chronic health condition and need daily medication? No problem! I also have experience with obedience training and agility training-so I can help you reinforce basic obedience commands. In addition, I’ll do my best to take pretty pictures of your pets for you. I have a pretty flexible schedule several days out of the week. I have availability both during the week days and on some weekend days. I will follow the routines that you have in place for your fur babes. I’m very safety minded and believe that we have to stay a step ahead of our pets, to prevent mishaps and keep them safe.
About: As a dog mom myself I know how important it is to find a comfortable and trusting person to take care of your fur baby while away! I have a 2 year old golden doodle who loves to play with other pups. We welcome all dogs as long as they are okay having another dog around 💙 I can be flexible to give your dog what they need to feel comfortable and at home! We love to make your pup a part of our routine and put their needs first! 2 dog parks within walking distance, but I also love to go on walks if that’s better for your pup! We can take them out as often as they need and work along their schedule. Our dog will be in the home so it is important your dog is ok with other dogs!
“Mindy went absolutely above and beyond caring for my pets while I was away. She didn’t just let them out for potty breaks—she truly spent quality time with them and made sure they felt loved and comfortable. She played with them, refreshed their water, gave them treats, and even put on calming music before she left. She took extra time with my more nervous pup, patiently hand-feeding him until he felt comfortable enough to eat. Reading her detailed updates gave me so much peace of mind because I knew she was paying attention to each of their individual needs and personalities. It was obvious that my pets weren’t just being “checked on”—they were genuinely cared for. Knowing they were getting love, playtime, and such thoughtful attention while I couldn’t be home meant the world to me. I can’t recommend Mindy enough, and I would trust her with my pets again in a heartbeat. Thank you for treating them like your own! ❤️🐾”
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: Working remotely gives me the opportunity for plenty of company, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. For weekend getaways or overnight stays, your pup will be spoiled with care and companionship to make your time away as stress-free as possible. I grew up in an animal-loving family (turtles, goats, donkeys, you name it!) and have experience with dogs from puppies to adults, including shepherds, pointers, cockapoos, and now my own golden. And of course, there’s Winnie! She LOVES making new friends. For pups who enjoy other dogs, she’s the perfect built-in playmate for supervised socialization, playtime, and plenty of zoomies! Working from home gives me the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, with easy access to potty breaks, walks, playtime, and whatever routine they’re used to. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with access to dog parks and a safe neighborhood/complex for walks. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s routine, including crate time if needed, and provide plenty of supervision and care.
About: I’ve taken care of pets (dogs, cats, geckos) big and small since I was young. I absolutely love nothing more than walking in to the house and getting such a warm (and sometimes slobbery) greeting. Traveling with pets can be hard, so let me spoil your fur babies so you can enjoy yourself! I currently work in a restaurant so I’m pretty flexible Monday-Thursday. When I do work, it’s not until 4 pm so I’m available all day before that and I’m off anywhere between 10 pm and midnight. I have tons of free time for drop in visits, and can house sit with no problems as well as long as me going to work at 4 pm into the night is okay. I am more than happy to stay in your home while you’re gone to make sure your fur babies have constant love and affection while you’re gone! I have no problem letting them outside throughout the day, going on walks, feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, giving them pets, etc. I can also do numerous drop in visits if that works better, offering all the same services! I have my own pets at my house so I unfortunately can’t bring them here, but I’d be more than happy to come to your home!
“Robin took excellent care of my precious furbabies! She was even able to get one of them to come out from hiding who normally never does! I highly recommend her, and will be rebooking her services again soon.”
“We love hiring Jenny for our petting sitting needs!! Another great stay. Thank you for taking care of our animals while we are out of town. I never have to worry that they are well looked after.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johns Island
McCall was absolutely great ! She took care of both of our dogs super well and sent pictures each time she was over throughout our vacation! It really helped us be able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing our dogs were well cared for. Would recommend and rebook 10/10
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!
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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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 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 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 .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
