“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.”
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: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 20 years. I love playing and walking dogs especially. I can also babysit and house sit if needed. I am retired so I can take my time with each pet to make sure they are healthy and content. I know from experience this gives the owner peace of mind when they have to leave. I provide pet care in your home and neighborhood, whether it’s in the house, backyard or going for a nice long walk. It all depends on what the owners would like.
“Brandi is always so reliable and when I had a last minute trip I had to plan, her and I worked within her schedule to have her complete drop in visits with my boys. I always appreciate her attention to them and my boys love having her as their sitter!”
“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.”
About: Dogs have been part of our life forever, and now we share our adventures with our playful 2.5-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog! We’re pros at beach zoomies, exploring trails at John’s Island County Park, and playing with our friends at the dog park. Your furry friend will be treated like part of the pack—playtime, snuggles, and endless tail wags guaranteed! Your dog(s) can have their own separate comfortable suite in our home or can mingle and play as much as they'd like with our pup, whichever you/they prefer! Conveniently located on your way to Kiawah/Seabrook Island, we are here to make your time away from home comfortable and convenient! We have a unique living situation where we live above the bicycle shop we own so one of us will be “home” most of the days. Our schedules aren’t consistent but if we aren’t “home” running the shop, we won’t be away from home for longer than 3 hours at a time. In our home, pets are treated like family, and every day is a new adventure! The mornings always kick off with fetch in our yard. While we’re in the process of building a fence, our yard is tucked away off the road, next to a quiet driveway leading to a storage facility—plenty of space to play safely! Our dog (and yours, if you’re comfortable) then heads to work at the bicycle shop, where she’s the official greeter and mood booster, soaking up love from coworkers (furry ones and human ones) and guests. Midday breaks are all about chasing tennis balls and soaking in extra snuggles. After work, the real fun begins! We head to John’s Island County Park’s dog park or Beachwalker Park for epic sunset zoomies on the beach. Your pup will enjoy endless playtime, love, and adventure with us—it’s a tail-wagging good time every single day! Your dog(s) can join in on all the fun with the other pups and people or can be kept separate while still being comfortable, getting lots of play, and all the love they need!
About: I love dogs! I have owned animals my whole life, have worked for pet rescuers in Detroit, assisted in hurricane evacuations. My love for animals is never ending. I could play with dogs all day and never be tired. I am 34 years old, own a dog who is my life!

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!
“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!”
“Natalie was super helpful and was amazing with all three of our cats on a short notice! I would recommend her and would look to use her again the next time we are out of town!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and love them. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my spare time for years as well in my down time. Now that I have relocated to South Carolina from Massachusetts I am looking to rebuild those relationships with some deserving furry friends. I am available to take your pet for walks, play dates and will board them for you. I have a beautiful, clean and spacious two bedroom apartment and have all the love in the world to shower them with. Please reach out! I am available every day for mornings, afternoon and night visits, walls and boarding! I am also available for last minute check ins late at night. My approach to pet care is rooted in two things: a lifelong love for animals and a professional commitment to reliability. Whether I am hosting a pet in my home or visiting yours, I offer a high-touch, organized service. For boarding, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment with plenty of exercise and affection. For in-home visits and walking, I leverage my experience in property management to ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect while your pet receives my undivided attention. I am experienced with senior pets, understand the nuances of pet-friendly travel, and am committed to providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry family member—and your home—are in expert hands.

I know how it feels to have a pet you love and adore. I will follow any and all owner directions closely, pay attention during walks to be sure your pets are taken care of!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kiawah Island. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
