“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.”
“Patti is wonderful! We needed help with our senior pup due to a last minute schedule change. Patti was quick to respond and agreed to care for Lizzie.”
About: When I was 12, I put a PowerPoint presentation together to convince my parents I needed a dog - and for that I still have my childhood dog Biscuit, who is now 17! We have watched our friends' goldendoodle puppy at 3 months (the energy!), 4 year old golden retriever for a month (more energy!), and 2 year old Beagle - one time all at once. From any age and size, my husband and I are huge dog lovers. We recently moved to the area and both work from home so we have all the time to give the love and care your pets need! We are accustomed to all dog needs from medications, walks, or mental stimulation! We have a large sun-facing fenced in yard. No steps required for your pups creating a safer environment. We take our dog out almost every hour and tend to keep our back door open so the dogs can go in and out as they please. I work right next to the door to keep an eye on them. For our dog Biscuit we are feeding her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I make her a custom meal that fits her diet - sweet potatoes, blueberries, and ground chicken. She also requires 3 pills a day. My husband and I understand dog care and how important it is to follow the owners instructions - you know your dog best from energy levels, stomach concerns, or potty routines! We often take breaks from work with our dog to hold her and give her the love she wants.
“Jennifer was great with our pups!! I would highly read her for your next rover booking. She sent pictures and updates regularly and was very responsive both before and during our trip.”
“I always feel most comfortable when Stephanie is watching our pups! They’ve gotten to know her well and I know they’re being well taken care of when we’re away. Would highly recommend her!”
“The best dog sitter! Margherita is reliable, kind, caring, attentive, and gives updates / posts pics! She is great about checking in on the Rover so you know when she has come to spend time with your furry friend! Definitely would recommend her!”

“We absolutely love having Grace take care of our 6-month-old puppy! She consistently provides a fantastic 60-minute drop-in visit, during which she takes our pup on long, enjoyable walks.

Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”

About: Dog walk and drop-in availability: Weekdays: 12-1 pm (over lunch), after 5 pm Weekends: all day! I grew up with many pets and have years of dog sitting as well as reptile care experience. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes (my dog is 80 lbs) and have experience with senior dogs (administering medications, etc) who require more patience and attention. Puppies are welcome as well! Additionally, I have many years of experience caring for (feeding, handling) leopard geckos and turtles. I am very comfortable feeding live insects should it be needed. Clear communication is important to me when watching your pet, so you can expect frequent updates on your pet and communication should any other circumstances arise. You can always expect me to have the utmost respect when being in your home! I currently work full time and offer drop in visits (and walks!) during lunch hours 12-1 and after 5 pm. On the weekends I am able to spend more time with your pets. It is very important to me that I respect the home of the owner I am sitting for. You can trust that I will treat your space the way I expect mine to be treated.

“Angie did great with Annie!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. From growing up with my own, to watching furry friends while family friends were away or at work, I have many years of experience. I am a dog lover and will make sure your pup has the best care possible! I am currently working, however I only work three days out of the week and have plenty of time to help out with your furry friends! I have a reliable car to take to your place and am more than happy to take your pups anywhere you are comfortable with to walk!
About: I love dogs! Any kind! Have always had dogs in my life, volunteered in shelters, and am a huge rescue advocate. I consider one’s dog as part of the family so Knowing your dog is being taken care of while you are away is a great relief and I am happy to help you and your pup out. If you need someone to walk/play/let your dog out while you’re gone—just let me know! I would just ask that you let me know if your dog has any bite history or if they are apprehensive around new people or if there is anything else I should know about your dog prior to hanging out with them. Thanks so much and hope to hear from you soon! I work a rotating schedule, so I’m often home to help walk and take care of your pets. I always make sure to treat your home as if it’s mine and leave it clean. Would love to walk your dogs and make sure they get their potty break and stretch their legs. I can also administer medicine or help with meal time.
About: Over the last five years, I have walked dogs with a wide range of personality! From a senior dog who struggled to walk, to a middle-aged pup who enjoys stopping for a roll in the grass, all the way to a rambunctious pup. You name it! I recently moved to Charleston and am looking to spend time with your furry friends! I am available at any time. I am happy to hang out with them on the weekends when you need time away from home! A friendship with a pet will thrive when there is mutual trust. I prefer to know the pets tendencies before we embark on the walk.
“So much help on last minute notice! Provided playtime and sent lots of pictures of my dog while I was out!! Thank you Baylee!!!”
About: Pet care is woven into my daily routine. From morning feedings and cuddle sessions to evening walks and playtime, my furbabies needs shape my schedule. Every week, I make time for grooming, vet check-ins when needed, and a little extra treat or adventure to keep her happy and healthy. Currently between jobs, I have the time and flexibility to offer care and support to others whenever it’s needed, ensuring they get the help they deserve. I tailor my pet care services to meet the needs of each pet and home. For clients, I follow their specific instructions, whether it’s drop-in visits for feeding and play, daily walks, or overnight stays to keep their pets company. I ensure they’re well cared for with attention, love, and routine.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs pretty much my entire life. We have had them in our house for as long as I can remember. Pet care is the perfect addition to my current daily work schedule because I can fit it in before and/ or after work and work it around my day to day routine. I currently take my dog on walks around the neighborhood as well as take him to the local dog park, beach etc. so I am extremely familiar with the area.

“I highly recommend Sonja as a pet caregiver. When I brought my puppy, Birdie Lou, home a few years ago, Sonja was so amazing! As my neighbor, she would come over a few times a day to be with Birdie. One time Birdie had an "accident" in her crate and Sonja was so gentle and kind with her. She cleaned out the crate, gave little Birdie a bath and for that I am forever grateful. Sonja would be a wonderful addition to your team!”
20. Ariel A.
