“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.”
“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: Charleston local with a passion for animals and extensive experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with German Shorthair Pointer, Gretchen, and a Springer Spaniel named Molly. My mother had a 20 pound schnoodle, Henry, who stays with me 2-3 times a week. My place is on 12 acres of land on Wadmalaw Island, a doggy paradise for breeds that require extensive off-leash exercise and freedom. I work from home and can be flexible, ensuring that pets get all the care, attention and exercise needed to ensure the are as happy as possible while their owner is away I live on 12 acres where dogs can be off leash if allowed. At a client’s home I’m happy to provide any care necessary for a pet
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: 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. I have a fenced in yard with a mastiff dog and an orange tabby cat. The fence does have open slots that a smaller dog could get out from.
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!
“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!”
About: I have experience with senior and puppy care, cat care, lizard care, ferret care, hamster and guinea pic care, training, socialization, and house-sitting! I am patient, energetic, and absolutely LOVE animals! Seriously, every time I see an animal out in public I gush over how cute they are! I am a grad student and remote-worker with plenty of time to hang out with your dogs while simultaneously cuddling with your pet(s) and doing homework and remote work! I work remotely, so have plenty of time to care and play with your pets! Available for boarding on weekends and walks/boarding weekdays after 3PM. I unfortunately have no pets of my own currently because I want to wait until I finish grad school to find a new dog to love so I am excited about the prospect of caring for your pet! I have a reliable vehicle and am prompt and dependable. I give walks (long or short depending on your pet's needs), plenty of snuggles, quality time, and play. I am willing to take your dog to the dog park if you would like me to work on their socialization. I have plenty of homework and other work to do so I can be with your dogs the majority of the time. I am responsible when administering required medications and will distribute these and feed your pet promptly at the same time each day (whatever time of your choosing). I love all pets and do all that is required to care for pets of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments.
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: 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!
About: "I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal I care for as my own. With 6 years of professional pet sitting and fostering experience, I am deeply comfortable managing multi-pet households, including cats and dogs living together. I understand that cats often need a more gentle, patient approach, and I'm highly experienced in administering [e.g., daily insulin injections, oral pills, fluid therapies] and maintaining clean, stress-free environments. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to giving your fur babies the best possible care." I work Monday-Friday till 4:30 and have some time in the mornings/evenings to take care of your pets. I have weekends off to spend and can even stay in home with the animals. I follow the owners house rules and I listen to the animals on their needs. If the owners have a schedule I will follow. I do light house cleaning daily or as needed.

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.
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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
