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.
“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: 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.
“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. ❤️🐾🐾”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including my own, and I truly treat every pup like family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that each dog has unique routines and needs. One of my own dogs has diabetes, so I have hands-on experience with insulin injections, medication schedules, and closely monitoring health and behavior. I know how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to medical care, and I’m confident providing that level of care for other pets as well. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, meals, playtime, and companionship. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s specific routine and provide consistent attention rather than long periods alone. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, medication timing, or just extra snuggles, I’m able to be attentive and responsive to each pet’s needs. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is my top priority. In my home, pets have access to a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and a medium-sized doggie door for easy potty breaks. I have two friendly small dogs who are well-socialized and do great with visiting pets. I also have four teenage children who love dogs and are gentle, respectful, and experienced around them. All interactions are supervised to ensure every pet feels comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and respect their space, keeping things consistent so pets feel safe and relaxed. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions to provide dependable, trustworthy care
“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 🐕🦺”
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!
“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’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!
“Peyton is awesome! I requested her to do drop ins pretty last minute on my cat. She was able to come a few days before our trip to meet him and see where his food and things were. She sent lots of pictures at each visit! Our fluffy boy seemed like he was super comfortable with her and happy she was there spending time with him. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“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!!”
“Rachel is been awesome taking care of our 2 cats, one is still a kitten, and just got adopted, Rachel has been great Helping with the process of our 2 cats getting along, higHly recommended.”

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.
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.
