“Michelle was prompt, kept in touch every day while we were away, and took great care of Cotton and Maizey, including making sure Cotton got all her meds every day. She was flexible when our plans had to change at the start of our trip. This was our first time using a dog sitter who stayed at our house, and Michelle made us feel really comfortable. We’ve just arrived home to two happy and healthy pups. Thanks Michelle!”
“Leah did a great job watching Harley (soft coated wheaten terrier) while we went on a short 4 day trip. Kept us up to date on how he was doing and made sure he had his walks and breaks.”
About: I've been dog-sitting my friends' & neighbors' dogs for years now. Everything from Shih Tzus to Labs to Collies and Pit Bulls, I do well with all types of dogs! I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch! (Also, I love cats! (I'm a Cat Mom of 4)). I'm currently pet-sitting full-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! I keep my calendar up-to-date and respond promptly to requests, so feel free to reach out and ask! I am always respectful of my clients' homes & make sure I take the dogs out frequently to use the bathroom & for walks/play, that litter boxes are cleaned, & that there is always fresh water/food given.
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. There was already a cat in my home before I was born, so I’ve had animals since day 1! My family got our dog when I was 10, and I’ve helped care for her ever since, including feeding, walking, playing with her, and general daily care. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and neighbors. In addition, I have cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with the care, attention, and patience they need. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I can often accept same-day requests depending on availability, so please feel free to reach out! I provide attentive, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and general pet care. I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs.
About: I have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience. I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park. I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.
About: Have administered specialized medicine to senior animals for ongoing diseases such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Was very diligent nursing my senior kitty before he passed. I work and go to school so my schedule varies but I always have some nights and mornings free each week that I would love to use on animals. Constant Care policy: if you are needing constant care that would require me to not leave for more than 4 hours, please book atleast 2 weeks ahead of whatever dates you need so I can accommodate that. I would also need to adjust my rate to reflect the lost income. I understand and respect animals boundaries and try my best not to encroach them. I've also mastered the "foot as barrier" approach when opening doors.
“This was the first time using Rover. I could not be more pleased with the individual we picked when we chose Josh!!! He was readily available. He kept in great communication with us throughout the entire process from booking to his departure after watching our pups. He cleaned up and left house clean and tidy. Even kept the pups safe during a tornado warning. Cannot wait to book again with Josh!”
“Nico is friendly, knowledgeable and responsible. She took great care of our dogs including a senior who needed medications and some extra TLC. She’ll be our first choice for dog sitting in the future.”
“Diamond is great! She came and was on time. I needed her from 1 to 5 on a Saturday. She sends me pictures of the dogs. She is super responsive and responsible. She needed to let them out and feed them. She plays with them and they seem to respond well to her. I will ask for Diamond again!”

“Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!”
“Joe was amazing with our 4 furry toddlers! We've never really went on vacation because of our dogs and fears of boarding our dogs. Joe sent nearly daily updates, some pics and videos of them having a great time without us. He's super responsive to messages and very patient with people and our crazy pack of 4. Thanks again for allowing us to have a worry free 1st vacation!”
“Madelyn was great when she watched our dog Cooper when we were on our week long road trip. She was very communicative and we could tell she took great care of Cooper. We definitely will book her again.”
About: I’ve been raised around pets my whole life. From a young age I’ve always had a passion for animals. Outside of genuinely loving fur babies, I know how to respect, read and handle them professionally. I also have experience in a veterinary clinic setting as well which is a benefit when handling your babies with care. I am a real estate agent so my schedule is pretty flexible which allows me to care for pets as needed. As long as I have some notice I can work around our pets needs. I make sure all pets are protected and treated as my own. Providing space shelter and attention. I pay close attention to our surroundings to ensure safety and make adjustments as needed.
About: I love animals and have always had them. My friends reach out to me for pet sitting because they know I will take the best care of their fur babies! I have a teacup Yorkie and a cat so if you have a friendly pet, they are welcome to stay by me, but I am also retired so can stay by you if that's more convenient. I am very flexible! I am retired so have all day & evening to spend with your fur babies. I love to walk so would be sure to take your fur babies outside for fresh air any time of the year. I live in a safe area and have beautiful paths for dog walking any time of day. If your pet likes car rides, I love the beach & the water so could have lots of fun taking them wherever they like to go!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs in my neighborhood since I was 10, I’ve played, feed and bathed dogs of all kinds and size! We don’t discriminate!

“Just can't say enough good things about Kya. 💜 Our dog clearly adores her, excellent and fast communication, and, most importantly, we trust her and feel very relaxed leaving her in our home.”
“Nicole was amazing! Watched our pets/apartment over the weekend and did a great job. She sent updates with photos and videos and did a great job giving the cats mental enrichment. Would recommend Nicole’s pet sitting services to anyone!”
About: I’ve had friends and family members rely on me to board, walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am very attentive and have been around pets big and small since I was born! I am currently graduated and working full time! I typically have off on Fridays and weekends. I work alternating hours so evenings and mornings are possible. Let me know little things your fur baby likes or dislikes! Every animal is different. I will enjoy playing outside with your furry friend no matter the weather!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Pleasant
Cat is fantastic - she has now stayed overnight with my dog for two long weekends. She genuinely loves dogs - sent me pictures of my dog doing the same cute things I take pictures of, and enjoyed getting to know his quirks. She is very detail oriented - one of the weekends my dog was getting a number of medications and she sent me messages confirming the administration and dosage each time. She also took good care of the house and tried to leave no trace - no big cleaning or reset required when I got home. Highly recommend!
Samantha was amazing. One of our pups is a lil anxiety girl with lots of reactivity and Samantha did so good with her! Had no problem being flexible with what our pups needed, giving meds, was very responsive, and gave lots of updates on how our babies were doing. Would 100% book with her again.
Mel has been the absolute best sitter I’ve ever had for my dog. He looks just as happy with Mel as he does with me and his dad. I felt so assured and happy that Leo had his own little vacation. My neighbors told me they played with him outside all day, which is his favorite. 10/10 will 100% book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mount Pleasant walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mount Pleasant maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Mount Pleasant 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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
