“Sabrina was wonderful and the dogs loved her! She picked up our mail and pulled the trash can inside. We're very picky who watches are pups and we will definitely ask Sabrina back.”
“Sara was awesome with my kitty Wilson! She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. I could tell he was getting so much love! Our apartment was clean upon our arrival home and Wilson was one happy camper. I highly recommend Sara!”
“Aaron was wonderful and truly loved spending time with Gracie and Roxie! Aaron sent pictures and updates daily, which was greatly appreciated! He let me know that Roxie took a little bit of time to warm up but then was herself with being a big snuggler, and that Gracie did great on her walks. Last time we had made this trip we had an 8 hour delay, and asked Aaron ahead of time if something like this happened again could he stay, and he said he could. Luckily all went well and we were able to arrive home on time to two very happy and very well cared for pups! Will definitely use Aaron again!!”
About: I grew up on a farm in Kingstree, SC. I have worked and volunteered in many positions. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, cats, horses, ponies, chickens, pet birds, and cattle. I also will be looking to adopt my own rabbits soon. I volunteered in an animal clinic and I have experience handling animals from shelters. Walking dogs, bathing animals, and grooming pets from guinea pigs to cats to horses has never been a difficult feat for me! I've done some of these things since I was six years old. I'm available to do pet care for three days out of the week at varying times in the afternoon. I'm between jobs and between moves right now so any work is good work! I've been aspiring to become a veterinarian for many years now and as college has come around, it's been really nice to start reaching for those goals more and more! I'm excited to work with other pet lovers. I currently am offering to take animals for walks and do drop ins. I love playing with dogs and grooming cats so you can be sure that your pets will get a lot of attention from me! I'm very thorough when it comes to cleaning and I monitor my actions in other places and towards other people very well. You can rest assured that your home will be just how you left it and your pet will be happier than ever when you return!
“Jai took care of Maggie, our little black lab mix, for a week while my wife and I were out of the country. She came over for a meet and greet a few weeks before and Maggie was instantly calm with her! Jai sent tons of pictures every day which we loved. Our house was in great condition when we returned, and Jai watered our outdoor plants for us. Maggie got her daily walks and plenty of cuddles! Jai is coming back for another shorter stay later this month.”
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
“Jeanette was so good with our dogs!! She left our house spotless and even washed the sheets she used. She was amazing at keeping us updated and sent us cute pictures of our girls. I would definitely recommend having Jeanette (Donna) keep your pups company while out of town.”
“Rowan was great with my boys & they were happy to have someone staying at the house with them over Thanksgiving. Would love to use Rowan as a sitter again in the future!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience for me or my pup. Emily was responsive, kind, and sp detailed! I came home to a very happy dog and would rebook her in a heartbeat!”
“Michelle is the MOST caring and thorough pet caretaker ever! Our whole family loves Ms. Michelle! Our Great Dane, Nala, is a senior dog with a few health issues, and is always so well taken care of.”
“I can't endorse Angelina enough. I've only had my puppy for a month, but I had to leave town for a memorial service. Angie came for a meet and greet and my boy loved her. She texted me photos all weekend, and even did a little training with him. I feel so fortunate to have found her through Rover. She's your girl!”
About: I have a husky who is my child. I love to play with him in the yard and take him to the dog park. I have always gotten along great with animals. They have always been first in my life because they put such a big smile on my face. I have always enjoyed pet sitting because I know how much they miss their owners. I just hope I can be the next best thing and make their stay-cation as stressful and as fun as possible.When the owner leaves dogs don't know if you are coming back or not . I think pet-sitting is such a wonderful idea for them to have. I am currently not working have a lot of free time on my plate so I am very flexible with scheduling. I will work with what’s best for the client. I do have a husky who is very friendly . I am very flexible to the situation. I am open to all services that the client needs.
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for over 11 years, giving me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life—from the playful puppy years to his final weeks battling cancer. That experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, attention to detail, and making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I was young, I’ve also been involved with multiple local animal rescues, helping with transports, fostering dogs, and volunteering at community events. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same love, patience, and dependable care I’ve always given my own. I’m currently in school Monday through Thursday evenings, so I’m generally available during the day on those days. When I leave for school, my mom is home or will be home within the next hour, so your pets are never left without someone around for an extended period of time. On weekends, I’m completely free and have full flexibility to dedicate my time to your pets and their needs. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. We have a large fenced-in backyard where dogs can run and play, along with a doggy door for easy access in and out. I also keep our trash cans secured and have childproof locks on lower cabinets to help prevent curious pets from getting into anything they shouldn’t. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and secure environment where your pet can relax and feel at home.
“Grace was a lovely dog sitter!! We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She provided tons of photos and updates and we could tell she is a genuine dog lover and took really good care of them. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve worked with and had the honor of loving dogs from their puppy years all to the way to their final senior years. I am compassionate toward and love caring for animals of all ages, breeds, species. I’m the person that everyone I know goes to when they need animal care or for someone to show extra love to their pets. I volunteer at the animal shelter, love being active and going for long walks/runs, so pets will always get their exercise in (but also love lounging around and cuddling animals just as much!). I currently work part time and take online classes, so having the privilege to work with animals as much as I get to makes me feel so lucky! Getting to take care of your pets and make them feel at home is the best part of my week. I offer any type of accomodations that clients need for their pets! I’m happy go out for long walks, play in-home, or be active in back yards or dog parks. I accept animals of all types - dogs, cats, rats, all of the above!!
About: I have been looking after other’s pets since I began watching my neighbors’ dogs at eight years old. I take seriously the responsibility of watching another’s furry best friend, and find joy in meeting and caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I work a 9 to 5 job with regular hours and am happy to help your pup with an early morning, mid day, or evening walk! I approach all pets with respect and follow the cues they give me about how much love and attention they want to give and receive. I try to make them as comfortable as possible while they are missing their human, and create a space where they can relax and have fun while they wait.

Katlyn was a great sitter! She left my apartment spotless, took great care of my cat, and sent me lots of pictures and updates. She was extremely responsive, answering my initial request within minutes. She came by to meet Iggy and immediately fell in love with him. I felt extremely safe and confident leaving him in her care. I will definitely reach back out to her for any future sitting needs!
Carla was amazing! My kitties absolutely loved her. She took such great care of them and sent me the best photos while I was away, which I really appreciated. It was so nice knowing they were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Carla and would happily have her kitty and house sit again! 🐾❤️
Liz was fantastic! She sent plenty of photos, checked in regularly, and responded quickly whenever I reached out. My dogs clearly loved her and were happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Elise is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Oscar and George while I was away and I never had to worry for a second. She kept me updated throughout my trip with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals and my boys were so happy and well cared for. Her positive attitude, reliability, and attention to detail make all the difference. Being able to truly relax and enjoy my time away knowing Oscar and George were in such loving hands is priceless.
Shiran was over the top wonderful. Kept me in the loop on how the 4 dogs where doing, sent me pics on the daily so I could see them., swept the mopped when whe knew we were coming home, dishes where cleaned that she used, even did a rug clean when the dogs made a mess. Highly highly recommend Shiran for your sitting needs. Thanks you so very much Shiran!!!
Caroline has been amazing with my 75lb German Shepherd River and our cat kit. It is hard to find people who know how to handle bigger dogs and I trust Caroline completely. She has always left my apt clean and I have had no issues with how she cares of my girls :)

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 North Charleston 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 North Charleston 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
