About: I spent several years working at a veterinary hospital and for a professional pet sitting company, so I’ve cared for just about every animal you can think of: dogs, cats, turtles, fish, goats, horses, you name it! I’m comfortable with all ages, from tiny newborns to wise seniors, and even those who require special care. I take a lot of pride in getting even the shyest, most skeptical animals to warm up to me. That’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the job! At home, I have a senior Shiba Inu, a cat, and three planted aquariums full of fish, shrimp, and snails, so animal care is truly a way of life for me. I’m available any day of the week, as early or as late as you need. Last minute requests are always welcome! I know how hard it can be to leave your babies with someone new. My goal is to make the whole experience as comfortable and stress free as possible. Pet sitting is my full-time focus right now, so my entire schedule is built around it. Early mornings, late evenings, weekends, whatever you need! I provide care in your home, so your pet stays in their own space with their own routine. I’m experienced with medications, special diets, and pets with various medical needs from my years in veterinary care.
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.

About: I have been taking care of my dog, Jack, for the past 6.5 years! Jack has epilepsy so I have experience taking care of medically complex dogs. I’m currently working from home so I will be able to give your dog the love and attention they deserve! In the past, we had a dog walker who loved on our dog just as much as us and it gave us so much peace of mind! I have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I am willing to watch your pup with a similar routine they keep at home to keep them relaxed and happy!
“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.”

“Tillman and Cash had a great time with Kaylie this weekend, while I was in Myrtle Beach. She kept them on schedule, and that meant no mess in the house.She and Jon played with them and left a fun goodie bag of toys and treats for them after her last visit. I highly recommend Kaylie for her responsiveness, care and TLC for my cat and dog.”

“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: Hi I’m Jordyn, I’m a 27 year old looking for a second job, I have had dogs and cats in my family since I was a child and I just don’t believe a house is a home without animals running around. I would love to meet your pets and give them as much love as I can while you are away. I currently live in west ashley. I have always had a love for animals and it makes me so happy to think I could care for others animals while they are away on vacation or out of town. I can’t wait to get to know each and every animal :) I will need atleast 3 days in advance to book due to having a day to day job. Thank you I work full-time T-F as a Medical Assistant, so I have an open weekend schedule, but I can also go drop ins after work (4pm) I believe a house isn’t a home without a animal companion. Animals are a real part of the family and I have always treated my pets like they are my family.

About: I grew up helping care for animals whether it was dog/cat sitting my neighbors pets or walking dogs for the families I babysit. They have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I also have a super sweet aussie shepherd that would love a playmate if you allow other dogs while housesitting. I am an extremely positive and energetic person who has a big heart for animals. Taking the best care of your little fur-baby is the most important thing to me and I will be sure to follow all instructions you give me. I want to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you are away! If there are special accommodations needed for your pet, we will go into further detail so your pet is comfortable and safe while you are gone. We will stick to a schedule and routine you set for each visit. I am currently working during the week but I’ll have plenty of time to play with your animals on Friday evenings and the weekends! I’m also available to do drop in visits during the week, if so desired! I live in a townhouse with a backyard, dog park next door, and have a dog to keep yours company. I can easily crate if needed.

“Erin was extremely professional, punctual, and exceeded our expectations. Charlie was well cared for, and we’ll definitely be using Erin the next time we need an in home sitter. Finally, a fantastic drop in option for Ravenel!!!”

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. I’ll even take your dog on a hike if you want them to burn off some energy! I 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: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. From a young age, I was the one looking after our family pets, and that love only grew over time. In 2020, I welcomed my own dog, Hoss. He quickly became my best friend and a true part of my family. Because of that bond, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog and cat I watch with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Hoss now has a younger brother, Dooley, an English Springer Spaniel with a sweet and easygoing personality. Together, they help create a calm, welcoming environment for visiting pets. They love to play when another dog is interested, but they are also very respectful of dogs who prefer space, rest, or a quieter visit. My husband and I own a house in West Ashley with a doggy door that leads to a big fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to romp around. Both the greenway and a park nearby are within walking distance for our walks around the neighborhood. One of the things that sets me apart is the range of care I can provide. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including the patience and consistency needed during teething, house-training, and early routines. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medication, monitoring comfort levels, and making sure they feel safe, supported, and relaxed. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and in need of extra attention, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. My husband and I also foster for local rescues, including Journey Home Alliance and Lowcountry Lab Rescue. Through fostering, we have worked with dogs who have separation anxiety and need extra reassurance, structure, and patience to come out of their shell. Helping those dogs feel secure and comfortable in a temporary home has been one of the most meaningful parts of my experience, and it has strengthened my ability to care for pets with different personalities, backgrounds, and emotional needs. Our home is a friendly and flexible space for pets of different temperaments. Both Hoss and Dooley are dog-friendly and know how to read another dog’s energy—if a guest wants to play, they are happy to join in, and if a guest prefers to relax, they are equally content to give them space. They are also cat friendly, so we are comfortable caring for households with feline family members as well. Our goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away! I'm currently working from home, so I have more flexibility during the day for drop ins, walks, and boarding. I also have availability on the weekends. Between me and my husband, someone is generally almost always home. We have a fenced in yard with two animal friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. They are used to having animals come and go in our house through fostering rescue animals. Animals are treated like family in our home and are allowed on furniture. I can also easily crate your dog if needed while I am away from the house.

About: As a dog owner to an adorable Maltese/Yorkie named Levi, I have so much love to give! I love to play fetch with dogs, teach tricks, go for long walks to exercise the energetic dogs, and of course give treats for good behavior! Snuggling and belly rubs are two of my biggest strengths! Wet noses and warm hearts means that I am doing something right! I live on Johns Island and am comfortable traveling up to 15 miles or caring for your furbabies in my home! I look forward to meeting more doggies in the neighborhood for Levi to play with and for me to to love on! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members in the very near future! Thank you! I work from home and I have a flexible schedule that affords me the opportunity to accommodate bathroom breaks, walks, fetch, treats, dog park attendance (if you prefer) and belly rubs galore! I do not have a fenced yard but I live in a great neighborhood with sidewalks and I have a cute furbaby of my own to keep your doggie(s) company.
About: I have had many animals throughout my years, ranging from cats, dogs, horses, goats, fish, and hamsters. I have pet sit for dogs and cats before. I give all the love and attention that is needed and more. I have much experience with walking dogs from small to big, as well as letting them out to potty and feeding them. I am an athletic person so catch will never get old ! I also love to relax so if they love cuddle time then I am all theirs! I think that I would take care of your animal beyond expectation and we would form a great bond together! I cannot wait to meet your great and wonderful pet and give them a ton of love!
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Johns Island is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johns Island
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.

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.

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.
