“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.”
“Ying was very consistent with updates and photos of Sarah and Luna and they seemed to really enjoy her visits and attention. We feel very fortunate to have had Ying caring for our furry family!”
“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!”
“Jai was wonderful with my two pups! They’re a bit older and fussier but Jai bonded with them both well. You can tell she truly bonds with animals quickly and lovingly. Should I need anyone to watch our pups again, she will be my first call!”
“Mollie was so nice and responsive in the planning process and wonderful with my cat Pippa. This was my first time being away from her, so it was a big relief knowing she was in such good hands with Mollie and that she would be attentive and caring in my absence. I would definitely work with her again!”
About: I have never gone a day without owning a dog. Iv taken care of puppies all the way through to senior dogs. Some training knowledge. I work full time in downtown Charleston. M-F 8:30-5. Early mornings, evenings and weekends and always available. I can also work with my employer for any special times I treat all animals with ample care. I am able to distribute medicine and keep careful watch. They are my top priority when they are in my care
“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: Hey! I’m Hunter! I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve spent the last 3 years working at a humane society, as well as some time working at a doggy daycare. So I’ve gotten to meet (and clean up after) just about every kind of dog/cat personality. I’m pretty laid-back, reliable, and I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals. Whether your dog wants to run around and play, go for a walk, or just chill on the couch, I’m happy to do whatever they’re comfortable with. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone, so I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated while you’re away! 🐶🐱 I have completely open availability. I am able to work with any schedule. Whatever your pet needs, I can provide it. I enjoy making animals my priority! I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe while they’re with me. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and any specific needs before I start caring for them. I’m also happy to follow your usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime, or just giving them some extra attention.
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
“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.”
“Christian did an outstanding job with our dogs, especially regarding their anxiety and reactivity. She was very caring, had excellent communication and sent us lots of pictures. Our dogs loved her and we highly highly recommend her.”
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.
About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to an Aussiedoodle and prioritize my dog’s health, exercise, and training every day. We stay active together getting 10-12k steps a day, keep up with daily routines like dental care, and focus on healthy treats and positive habits. I’ve taken training classes and enjoy learning modern, science based training methods to better understand animal behavior. I’ve raised my dog since he was 8 weeks old, so I’m very familiar with puppy development, training consistency, and maintaining a structured routine. Growing up, I also cared for a variety of animals of all ages, which helped me appreciate the unique personality every pet has. I believe no animal is “bad” each one simply has their own quirks and communication style. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and comfortable while their owner is away. I integrate pet care into my daily routine several times throughout the day by walking, running, and training my dog. I also brush his teeth, prepare fresh meals and healthy treats, and conduct regular training sessions both alone and with people. I maintain a consistent schedule so pets in my care can expect structured exercise, attention, and enrichment throughout the day. I always follow each pet’s boundaries and the owner’s rules to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I check in with the owner to see if there’s anything extra they’d like me to provide and make sure their instructions are fully implemented. I also give a “report card” after each visit, updating the owner on their pet’s behavior, activity, and overall wellbeing, so they know their furry friend is happy, safe, and cared for.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
