“Payton took the best care of my babies and she administered medication properly to our older cat. She was very communicative and thoughtful, and ensured that we got to see our girls every day.”
“Madelyn was very punctual for every visit. She weathered the gnarly storm to check up on my sweet Buddy. She also kept me updated on the storm and if it was affecting the area to assure me Buddy was safe. She is very kind and was attentive to mine and my cat’s needs. Thank you Madelyn for an outstanding job! Will definitely book in the future!”
“As a repeat customer of Averi's, I always know that my dog will be well taken care of. She is reliable, good at keeping me updated, and genuinely cares about my dog. Your pet will be in good hands with Averi. I will definitely continue to have her be my Rover go-to choice!”

“Christine was a new-to-me sitter and accepted a relatively last-minute booking over the winter holidays for my rabbit and cat. Everything went perfectly, and the cat and bunny have no complaints (which is rather unusual when I’ve been gone awhile). I’m so grateful for your help, Christine!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with 25 years in rescue, fostering, and pet sitting. Experienced in medication administration and 20+ years volunteering with cats and dogs. I love playing with them and will follow any specific directions you have. I also will send you lots of photos! Im available when I am not traveling or volunteering somewhere else.

Safety is the most important thing to me
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. Over the span of my life I’ve had 4 dogs of all sizes and love taking them out for walks and spending quality time with them. If you are looking for someone who will take care of your pet and send you a million pictures of them while you’re away I’m your girl! I know how stressful it is to be away from your pet and I would love to provide peace of mind while you are away. I work from home full time Monday - Friday and can work from your home if your pet needs constant supervision or can stop by before or after work, or during lunch if needed. I usually have minimal plans on the weekend and can take your pet on adventures, or hang out with them at home depending on your preference. I will follow all instructions left for me and can be flexible depending on the care you and your pets require. If you’d like picture updates, or for me to take your dogs on long walks rather than just let them out, I can do whatever is asked of me.
“Anna was absolutely fantastic! First time leaving my kitty alone and she was so reassuring and made having fun on vacation easy! 10/10!!!!!!! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jai took amazing care of my 2 cats! This was my first time leaving them since adopting them and she sent me photos and updates daily which was much appreciated. I could tell she took the time to play with them and give them attention while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
“Really came through for us with our last minute plans. Very flexible and easy to work with. Good pics of the animals. Everyone seemed happy! Will use her again!”
About: With extensive experience in pet care, including both dogs and cats, I specialize in providing top-notch services such as walking and pet sitting. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach, tailored to meet the unique needs of each furry friend, ensuring they receive the utmost care, attention, and affection while their owners are away. I currently work about 30 hours per week. I am available mornings, nights, and weekends for walking or pet sitting. My schedule is flexible each week! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets under my care. Whether it's providing regular walks, engaging playtime, or administering medication, I ensure each pet's specific needs are met with attention to detail and dedication. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure peace of mind while they're away.
“Janet made our first Rover experience phenomenal ! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable before the trip and sent great updates while staying in contact with us throughout her time caring for our pup. Will absolutely be recommending her to others in the neighborhood.”
“Ella was a great sitter for our girls, she sent plenty of photo updates and did exactly what we requested with the kitties, and was very detailed with her check ins! We will most definitely reach out next time we need to book :)”
About: Some think of their dogs as pets, mine have always been part of the family. I grew up as a child with my late black lab, Ebony, who was one of the most fun-loving family dog their was, even into her old age as I cared for her in her senior years. Then came the spitfires...first Sammy, who is my german shepard with big heart and knack for getting into mischief with the neighborhood squirrels, and then came Jax, the black lab/pit bull mix who is either running in circles or snoozing on a chair. Having grown up with multiple breeds and dog personalities, I've learned how to manage and train dog behaviour as well as recognize how important their routines are, especially when their owners are not around! Outside of my own pups, I'm always the first to volunteer when it comes to dog sitting my friend's pitbull, Taz, when she travels for work, keeping strict routines that help him deal with his mom being away. I also volunteer at the Charleston Animal Society and am a trained dog handler who has come across all sorts of weird dog experiences that I've had to learn and adapt to, all while giving them the most love possible! I work an office job from 6-3, giving plenty of time to take your stir crazy pups for a quick walk/potty break before you get back from work! I also have free weekends where I can board/house sit your dogs while you are away. I have a dog park within my apartment complex, however, I love to take walks in new neighborhoods or keep the dogs in a house they are more comfortable in and drop by/stay over for visits!
About: I have been around/taking care of dogs my entire life. I have taken care of dogs ranging from puppies to now senior dogs. I am very caring and patient. I will be available almost full time. During the school year I am gone for only 8 hours, and I am able to leave most days in the middle of the day to come back to my apt. During the summer I am home almost 100% of the time! I live in a nice apartment complex with tons of room to go on long walks! I do not have any other dogs in the apartment with me, and the furniture in the house will be accessible for your sweet pup to use! I spend most of my time home after work so I will be around to keep your baby company!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Charleston
Gracie was so attentive and caring during the time she spent with my dog, Laila. She administered medication, and spent lots of time playing with and giving her loads of attention. I highly recommend her! Professional, responsible and great with detailed communication. 5 stars all around!
Caroline was absolutely amazing with my dog, Molly! She took care of her for a full week while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Caroline kept me updated with photos and messages every day, which really put my mind at ease. When I came home, Molly was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know I can trust someone who treats my dog like her own. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!

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 North Charleston 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.
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 North Charleston 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in North Charleston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
