“From the moment I met Robin I could tell she would be so caring with my dogs. She was super thorough and you can tell she cares for your dogs like her own. Thankful to have found someone to trust with our doodles when we need it!”
“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: I’ve gained experience the last few years in taking care of our German Shepherd, Luna and sweet kitty, Cookie! I always dog sit for friends when they’re out of town and I’ve learned how to give pills to dogs. One of my friend’s dogs has allergy problems and has to take pills for it, so she had to teach me how to do that. I love playing fetch and taking dogs on walks! I also wouldn’t mind giving your dog a bath (or taking him/her to the pet store to bathe them there!). Feel free to message me with any questions you might have! I am available every day after 4:00 and every weekend as needed. I have a flexible schedule and have a good amount of free time. I will make sure your animal or animals get the care they need and make sure they are well taken care of no matter what!
“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.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up in Ohio where I was active in 4H so I was taking care of animals daily. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or just extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work nightshift as a nurse 2 days a week. I have a lot of free time and enjoy being active. My dog gets walked multiple times a day. I have one golden retriever who loves other dogs! We are in a nice quiet area in an apartment. I love to go on walks to head over to the dog park!
About: I’ve lived my whole life with pets! I grew up with two cats and two dogs. Since I’ve been away at college I’ve dog sat for other friends and family! I just moved to the area! My schedule is very flexible, I have the time to care for your furry friends! I’m fully open during the week and weekends. I am a very attentive person and caring of details of how the pet needs to be cared for. Quality time with pets is my favorite part of caring for them!
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: 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!
“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.”
About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including tiny, large, aggressive, reactive, and skittish dogs. I also worked part-time for two years with a reputable mobile dog groomer based in Mount Pleasant, servicing the Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, and Isle of Palms areas. This gave me valuable hands-on experience handling different breeds and temperaments while making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable.Currently own a 6-year Chihuahua/Pug and a 13-year old Pitbul Work nights so I’m free during the day and late nights! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, comfortable with any dog’s personalities. I treat everyone’s dog as if they were my own! I’m great with communication so no one feels like their dog is in bad hands.
About: I’m dependable, loving, and attentive, treating every pet like my own. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work mostly nights so I will be able to walk or take care of animals all throughout the day! I can do anything before 3! I take my cats very seriously, if there is any sign of anything I’m immediately take them to the vet, I feed them twice a day with a mixture of wet and dry food and some probiotics! And I play with them for at least an hour a day!
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!
“Aubrey was so sweet with my rabbit Dusty! I had only needed her to pop in and feed him but she also spent time with him and gave him pets which I know he appreciated :) she was reliable and trustworthy and clean.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child, and have had over seven dogs growing up. I have a loving dog of my own. I absolutely love dogs and I always have! I am a recent law school graduate, waiting on my bar exam results. I love going for long walks and staying active outside, and also am great at relaxing and hanging around, whatever you may need! Reach out anytime :) I am not working, so I am very available and flexible! I am waiting for my bar results which takes awhile to get our scores back. I live in a two bed room apartment complex with a dog park in Johns Island, which has lots of walking trails that I love to go on.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johns Island
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.

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.
