About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Being the holidays, we were struggling to find a sitter until someone recommended rover. I'm so lucky to have found Sara as she took on our last minute request with incredible grace and flexibility. Due to one of our boys having previous health issues, we were worried about leaving them at all. But Sara's experience and communication kept us at ease the entire time we were away!”
“We are so thankful for Stephanie! Our very shy cat warmed right up to her. This was our first experience with Rover and Stephanie definitely impressed us. She made us feel so comfortable with her consistent care and pictures of our cat while we were gone!”
About: I have had several dogs growing up and have loved them dearly. I also worked at a dog store for a few months in college where I learned how to properly feed and medicate them! I now have several regular clients as well as care for friends and families pets when they are away, but I am looking to expand my clientele! I currently live in West Ashley and work out at Folly as a server! I’m available for sittings, walks, and drop ins outside of my work schedule! My availability should be up to date every week but feel free to reach out for specific dates or times outside of that, as my schedule is pretty fluid. I am also a full time grad student getting my masters in education, and love running, crochet, and making lattes in my spare time :) I can give medicine, feed, walk, run, and play with your pooch to keep them happy, healthy, and active. I do well with multiple dogs as well so the more the merrier

“Morgan did a great job during her visits with ollie and spice. Senting pictures including those of spice a very shy little girl. I would not hesitate to use her services again when I need cat care. Thank you Morgan ? ?”
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: I have been so lucky to have had so many pets throughout my life, not always mine but that never mattered as they all get extra love and attention. Semi-retired and have time to look after "the kids" who never move out but always listen. I have time to stop in and spend quality time with "the kids" while the parents are out. Rules and routine are key, so if it means sleeping on the bed with me or in their basket, and maybe not allowed on the couch or the fluffies rule the roost - then that is what I stick to. It is their home!
“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: Hi! I’ve been taking care of various animals since I was 10. I have a lot of practice and experience and I genuinely enjoy getting to take care of the animals. I’m working part time and my hours do change every week. It’s definitely helpful to contact me as early as possible so I can make time. Besides that, I always try to make time! I love taking care of animals, and I can adapt easily to any environment. I don’t mind putting in extra work and getting to know your pet.
“Lydia is amazing!! She is so sweet and patient with our pups. They were well taken care of when she stayed the weekend with them. We came back to a house cleaner than we left it!”
About: I have had 3 english mastiffs during my life time and have always loved dogs. I have walked dogs, house sat furry friends, fed, bathed and love being around them! I have a pretty open schedule right now, just graduated with my bachelors and am searching for employment full time but want to keep active and play with pups while I have extra available time! I am unable to board, but would love to help you out at your home! Happy to do simple tasks and keep everything clean around the house!
“Madelyn was very punctual for every visit. She weathered the gnarly storm to check up on my sweet Buddy. She also kept me updated on the storm and if it was affecting the area to assure me Buddy was safe. She is very kind and was attentive to mine and my cat’s needs. Thank you Madelyn for an outstanding job! Will definitely book in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs my whole life! From family, friends, to even neighbors! I adore all animals! I have a mini dachshund and chocolate lab who love having friends! I am a stay at home mom so that makes it easy for me to care for my animals and yours! Between daily walks, outside, and indoor play time! I live in a house with a big yard that is fenced in the back! Plenty of room for your fury babies to run around and play!
About: I have taken care of dogs, both my own and others from petsitting, my entire life. I love animals and have lots of knowledge on care, feeding, walking and petsitting! I don’t currently WFH but I have a flexible schedule and can stop by throughout the day so I have lots of time for your fur baby!!! I love taking the dogs I petsit for on walks, to the beach, dog park, and playing with them! I have my own dog Miller that would love someone to play with so I like to do a meet and greet prior to booking. Just message me and we can set that up if you are interested. I have lots of toys for the pups to play with so to avoid mix ups I prefer you leave yours at home unless it’s emotional support but feel free to bring crates, bedding etc. I have a large apartment with lots of space for them to lounge and hangout! I have space for crates or any amenities that come along with your pet! I love loving on all dogs and care for them as if they’re my own.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I had German Shepherd’s, Australian Shepherd’s, and a Springer Spaniel. I have also dog sat golden doodles and smaller dogs in college. I work full time during the week 10-7 but half days on Fridays from 7-2 in Mount Pleasant. My weekends are typically free, and I love going on walks and being outside. I love going on walks, cuddling on the couch or bed with the dog, and just hanging out. Any special exercise requirements you may have I am happy to comply with. :)
“Lydia is a fabulous sitter. She communicated with us, sent lots of photos of our babies and even brought them a treat! Would highly recommend if you have cats that need to be looked in on.”
About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s dog while out of town. I love doggos and hope to adopt my own in the future! I used to be a teacher for many years. Right now my schedule is very flexible! I’m a homebody and love going for daily walks. I’m a very clean and organized person. This makes it easy for pets to roam around freely and safely! My husband unfortunately is allergic to cats so I will not be hosting cats in our home. If your cat is hypoallergenic (short haired and bathed beforehand) we can discuss overnight stays!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Johns Island is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,574 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Johns Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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.
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.
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 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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
