“Ted is wonderful! With short notice, he agreed to check in on our dogs. He arrived exactly on time, sent photos and updates. He played fetch with the boys and ensured they had enough time for a potty break. We would have Ted check in our the dogs in the future if needed.”
“Tonya did an awesome job taking care of our 2 pups. She was very conscientious and followed all instructions. She was attentive (especially with one pup that had special, medical needs), took pictures and sent detailed reports. We will definitely use her again.”
“Brandi, per usual, did a great job with my English bulldogs while I was away! She is always so reliable and had the responsibility of giving one of my dogs meds and eye drops following a surgery - she did a wonderful job and I know I can trust her with any medical needs of my boys that need attention if it coincides with a trip!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since high school and am a huge dog lover. Neighbors, family, friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their dogs. I have a background in healthcare and have hands-on experience with various breeds and pet ages, which means I'm well-prepared to handle any situation with confidence. I try to tailor each pet's experience to their unique needs, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. I also offer regular updates and photos to keep you connected with your pet while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt it to have plenty of time to walk, drop in, or sit for your pet. I always welcome and love discussing scheduling that fits your pet's needs best. I have a healthcare background, including attending medical school and working as an EMT and in the Emergency Department. I also have experience walking and caring for dogs of many sizes and ages. I can adapt my care methods to each client's and dog's needs.
About: Providing drop ins, dog walks and overnight stays! Overnight stays are my favorite. I am currently serving in a cafe 4 days out of the week. I am able to do breakfast and dinner walks and feeding and multiple drop ins on my off days. I have been dog sitting for 20 years now for family friends and a small network of Charleston locals across Folly, West Ashley, downtown, Monks Corner, Mt P and IOP. And, had clients in Oklahoma & New York! I am passionate about providing good care for your pups and going the extra mile in communication during our time together. Caring for your pups is one of my greatest joys in life. I am working part time in a cafe currently. Typically have early morning availability, mid afternoon and overnight availability. I love overnight stays with pups. I follow instructions provided I.E. special diets for dogs and requests to walk the dog. And, maintain a clean space in your home at all times. And, bring my own cleaning gear.
About: From handling cats, handling reptiles, training my own puppy, handling small and big dogs, I am happy to check on you babies while you are away. I work full time at home but I am happy to check in on your baby before work, during my break, and after work if need be. During school year, I can do walks or check in between the hours of 8am-1pm. I have a fenced in yard with a mastiff dog, he is currently not neutered so only females who are spayed may come over. The fence does have open slots that a smaller dog could get out from.
“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!”

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’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 been an animal lover my whole life and began taking care of my family pets at an early age. People always thought I’d turn out to be a vet, and while I didn’t go that route in school, I still adore spending as much time caring for animals as I can! I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from pup to senior as well as dogs with special medical requirements. I was even hired a couple of times to drive down to Florida to dog sit for several weeks! I also have experience taking care of cats. I’m reliable, trustworthy, flexible, and dedicated to loving all fur babies as if they are my own! I work full-time on Johns Island, so I’m available for early morning and evening walks as well as in-house care, as long as your pets are okay being left alone during the day. I love to spend my time going on walks, exploring, working out, reading, and watching my favorite TV shows. I have found the best way to bond is to spend as much time with animals where they are most comfortable. I love anything from cuddling up together with a good book or movie, taking a walk around the neighborhood, or going for a drive and maybe even making a pit stop at the dog park. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, young dogs, senior dogs with disabilities, and dogs with special medical needs (e.g. following a strict medicine/dietary regimen). I’ve also cared for multiple dogs/pets in a household. Your wish is my command!
About: Experience in seniors / sick and injured / puppies. Familiar with all household pet mammals. I like to send pics and vids throughout my time watching them. I'm a marine biologist for South Carolina Department of Natural Resource for my full time job. I love advocating for animals and the environment. I have a flexible work schedule and can drop in before and after work. I can accommodate my own transportation and mid-day drop in if needed. I have spare bedrooms available for pets to stay in as well as a fenced in backyard and open floor plan. My home is filled with lots of friends (4 kitties , 1 bunny, and 2 pups ).

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Kiawah 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
