About: I would foster and adopt all the fur babies if I could! I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats of different ages since childhood. Friends, families, neighbors, and acquaintances have trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own. I rescued my own cat from a shelter and moved across the country with her, then later was a foster fail for a 3 week old rescue puppy, he’s now a 60lb lab-Pitt mix and he and my cat are the best of friends I am currently working Friday-Monday downtown Charleston and have a flexible schedule Tuesday-Thursday and I have flexibility earlier on Monday mornings as well. I have 2 friendly dogs and cat (who thinks she is a dog) who get along very well with other dogs, a large fenced-in dog park in the neighborhood I live in
“So, so grateful for Nicki! She took great care of our 3 pups on super short notice: she was timely, friendly, left detailed reports and lots of pics, and the dogs LOVED her! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Devon took great care of my cat, Neon, while I was away. She was reliable and communicative that gave me peace of mind. I came home to a happy cat and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Natalie did an excellent job with our Pups. Taking time to play and update me throughout the day. She followed the instructions and was extremely reliable. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pups were in great care.”
“Lisa took really good care of my cats and always sent me pictures and updates. When anything was out of the ordinary at the house, she also let me know. I would love to have her take care of them again.”
“She was wonderful! She took such great care of my pets and kept me updated with sweet photos. I came home to happy, relaxed pets—I’ll definitely book again!”
“Mollie was a pleasure working with. She took loving care of my pup, and she gave Laila plenty of exercise and love. I highly recommend her...trustworthy and professional! Grab her before someone else does! 👍👍👍👍👍”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and have had experience with dogs of all sizes. My family’s dog right now is an Australian Labor-doodle and before him I also had a yellow lab. I welcome all friendly pups and will love them as you do! I work a very flexible schedule so your pup will be well cared for and not left alone for a long amount of time! I will take them for walks, let them run in the fenced in area at my apartment complex, and allow them to be free in the apartment space. There is plenty of room for them to run freely in a fenced in dog park at my complex however I LOVE to go to surrounding neighborhoods, Park Circle, and the Battery to walk around. Always will have a leash and make sure I’m safe around other dogs!
“Sarah is attentive to the dogs, she arrives on time and always sends photos/videos of her with the pups. Sarah shows an endearing love for animals and my pups adored her! I'd highly recommend Sarah and will use her again!”
“Mary Anne is absolutely wonderful! She is very thoughtful and takes very good notes on how to care for your pet. She did a few drop-in visits with Karl, our Hermann's Tortoise, and was communicative and sweet. We'll definitely re-book her next time we're in need of a sitter.”
“Becca was an amazing dog sitter! From the start, our dogs took right to her, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time, keeping us updated and sending lots of pictures so we could see how happy and comfortable they were. It’s clear she genuinely cares and connects well with animals. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
About: I have been working in animal rescues since I was little! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and tempers. I have ample knowledge on what is needed for each type of animal and would love to help you out with your pets! I am a full time student at MUSC, but have majority of the afternoons and some mornings free! I also have a cat myself, but she is very low maintenance and does not require too much of my time. I make sure each pet is comfortable and happy in their own environment! I know when an animal needs it’s space or when it wants attention. It is very important to be able to read each animal and gauge what they enjoy, and I can definitely provide this!
About: We live in Tanner Plantation with our three cats and three dogs. As lifelong animal lovers and pet owners, we understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether you have a playful pup or a shy cat, we'll provide loving, reliable care and keep you updated every step of the way. We've cared for pets with a wide range of medical needs, dietary restrictions, and unique routines. From administering medication and following specialized feeding protocols to accommodating quirky preferences, we're committed to providing the same attentive care your pets receive at home. I'll be handling most visits during the week, while my husband joins me for meet-and-greets and serves as a backup when needed. Together, we provide dependable care for both dogs and cats, treating every pet like a member of the family. Our retriever mix, Richie, has megaesophagus, myasthenia gravis, and cancer. He eats all of his meals in a Bailey chair (think doggy high chair!) and requires medication multiple times a day. Caring for Richie has made us highly attentive to health monitoring, medication schedules, and specialized feeding requirements. Our coonhound, Joanie, takes daily medication for anxiety, giving us experience providing calm, patient care for pets who need extra support. Our German Shepherd, Nami, reminds us that every pet has their own quirks. She refuses to eat breakfast anywhere but her kennel and insists on eating her afternoon meal in the office while listening to emo music. Yes, really! 🖤🎵🐶 We're also dedicated cat people and understand that cats often need a different approach than dogs: patience, respect for routines, and attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and litter box habits. Belle, our orange tabby, is convinced she's one of the dogs, while Jane and Lizzie, our mischievous Oreo twins, keep life entertaining with their talent for stealing household items and hiding them in their favorite boxes. Living with three cats has taught us the importance of earning a cat's trust, respecting their boundaries, and maintaining the routines that help them feel safe and comfortable. From complex medical care to honoring each pet's unique personality and routine, we believe every animal deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. ❤️🐾 Pet care is already a central part of our daily routine. As pet parents of six rescue animals, our days revolve around feeding schedules, walks, medication administration, playtime, litter box cleaning, and making sure each pet gets the individual attention they need. Because we are accustomed to caring for pets with unique personalities, medical needs, and special routines, adding drop-in visits fits naturally into our schedule. We currently have availability for drop-in visits and enjoy spending time with pets, whether that means playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship while their family is away. Caring for animals isn't just something we do—it's something we genuinely love. We will treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection that we give my own rescue crew. 🐾❤️ For drop-in visits, we care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable. We follow each pet's usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of affection. We take the time to learn each pet's personality and preferences, so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾❤️
“Simply put: Hunter is the real Dog Whisperer. Incredibly patient and understanding with my dog and that gave me peace of mind while I was gone. Hunter has that ability to make dogs and cats happy.”
About: Hi! Animals have pretty much always been the center of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, have been pet sitting since I was 12, earned my degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech, and spent two years working professionally with horses after college. I currently work in veterinary client care and have plenty of experience with everything from daily care and medications to the occasional pet who has very specific opinions about how things should be done. I have my own Australian Shepard, Ripley, so I’m no stranger to zoomies, long walks, and pup cups! I’m comfortable with pets of all different personalities and needs, and I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to whatever routine makes your pet happiest. I also know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so pictures and updates are always part of the deal! My work schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for pet care on both weekdays and weekends. I keep my availability updated and am happy to work with you to find care that fits your pet’s normal routine. When I’m home, I spend lots of time walking, playing, and going on adventures with my own dog. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having company! I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, and any other preferences you have. For pets staying with me, I’ll always make sure everyone is comfortable together and has their own space when needed. In your home, I’ll treat your pet, their routine, and your space with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“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!!”
About: Ever since I can remember, I have had a dog in my life, usually multiples. Growing up in the country, my family always took in strays which we took in or helped relocate to the perfect home. Currently, I am a puppy mom to one amazing girl, Bourdain. She is sweetest pup and I am a lucky lady to have her! I am currently working from home and would love to spend time helping you by giving your fur babies a little TLC while you are doing what you need to do! My schedule is very flexible and am available to pop in as needed. I also have a 10 year old son who if available loves to give love and help out too! I am active and can provide exercise for your dog with walks around your neighborhood. My schedule is flexible (Realtor with a in home office) and I can easily help care for your fur baby. I work from home with any other appointments noted and will communicate any conflicts as needed. I’m all ears on your specifications for your pet. I want to have all the details so that I can provide the best care while you’re not there.
“Christine is incredible!!! My doggo is a little skittish about meeting new people, and Christine took the time to get to know her and bond with her :) she’s super accommodating and flexible and I look forward to having her doggie sit mollie again soon!!!”

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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
