About: Charleston local with a passion for animals and extensive experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with German Shorthair Pointer, Gretchen, and a Springer Spaniel named Molly. My mother had a 20 pound schnoodle, Henry, who stays with me 2-3 times a week. My place is on 12 acres of land on Wadmalaw Island, a doggy paradise for breeds that require extensive off-leash exercise and freedom. I work from home and can be flexible, ensuring that pets get all the care, attention and exercise needed to ensure the are as happy as possible while their owner is away I live on 12 acres where dogs can be off leash if allowed. At a client’s home I’m happy to provide any care necessary for a pet

“Amy did a great job walking Murphy. He is high energy and Amy was able to keep him focused on his walk around the neighborhood. I definitely would book with Amy again. Thanks!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, horses, cats, bunnies, you name it! Ever since I was a kid I’ve loved being around animals & have two pups of my own! I am full time real estate agent but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! This is my fun side hustle because I love being around animals! Walks in the neighborhood or playing outside in the yard! I can do whatever makes you feel comfortable! Just let me know before the visit!
“Tonya was great with our dog! Great communication. She let us know when she arrived and took photos so that we could see how happy our girl was. We would definitely book again with her!”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with my dog! He always wants to go on walks but can’t always make it the whole way around the block. Amber noticed when he needed a break and lovingly picked him up and carried him until he was ready to walk again. She was so gentle and attentive. She truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and thoughtful walker!”
About: I just haven’t met them yet! Your furry bestie is going to have the time of their lives when I take care of them. I am very reliable and responsible. I have experience with all types and personalities and I can’t wait to meet your hairy besties! I have almost all weekdays between 9-2 to take care of your pets! I am also available for weekends and night, just reach out and I will make it work. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a lovely dog park, and walking trails. Your pet will feel right at home enjoying the trails and trees.
About: Hi, I’m Kiana. I’m energetic, fun, and creative. I love animals and would like to paint them while I’m watching them. I’m a watercolor and acrylic artist and poet. I recently lost a beloved dog of 15 years in our home and life feels a lot emptier without a pet to play with and go on walks. I would be thrilled to meet your pet and give it the love and attention it deserves. During your pet’s stay with me or an overnight visit in your own home, you can expect that I will play with your pets with their favorite toys after taking them out on a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. You can expect at least 3-4 walks, and photo updates from me. When they seem adequately tired, I’ll take out my watercolor paints and do my best to capture them while they are still. You have the option of purchasing anything you like later. Otherwise, it was still time spent having fun. I look forward to meeting your furry companions. I am a self-employed illustrator/graphic designer. I’ll have time for pet-sitting most days or times kf the day and in any weather. I love to walk long distances and can handle dogs with high energy! I have no pets in my home currently, but I do sometimes care for my parents’ two large dogs and my sister’s two weenies when needed. The big dogs are very energetic and active, so I take them for very long walks and sometimes bring them to county parks nearby. The weenies tire out when walking, so I enjoy bringing a wagon with me in case they need a lift. I used to own two cats with my ex, but he owns them now. When I did own cats, I had a good understanding of their dietary needs and mental stimulation needs.
“Carrie is so sweet & you could tell that she truly loves animals. I highly recommend Carrie. My dogs have had two great walks with her & we plan to use her for vacations in the future.”
“Jennifer has done a great job walking my pup, taking pics, and keeping me updated on his potty breaks :) She also has been very easy going as I have requester her last minute a few times. I definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and love them. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my spare time for years as well in my down time. Now that I have relocated to South Carolina from Massachusetts I am looking to rebuild those relationships with some deserving furry friends. I am available to take your pet for walks, play dates and will board them for you. I have a beautiful, clean and spacious two bedroom apartment and have all the love in the world to shower them with. Please reach out! I am available every day for mornings, afternoon and night visits, walls and boarding! I am also available for last minute check ins late at night.

Whether I am hosting a pet in my home or visiting yours, I offer a high-touch, organized service. For boarding, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment with plenty of exercise and affection. For in-home visits and walking, I leverage my experience in property management to ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect while your pet receives my undivided attention. I am experienced with senior pets, understand the nuances of pet-friendly travel, and am committed to providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry family member—and your home—are in expert hands.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with both younger and older pets. This past summer, I cared for two dogs and two cats for a week, handling feeding, walks, and daily routines. I also helped train my two puppies in 2024, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and basic training. In addition, I’ve helped care for my grandparents’ older dog, so I understand the patience and attention senior pets need. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My boyfriend and I moved to Charleston this summer! He has an internship from 10-6:30 during the week, and my internship is from home. I also have a part time job, but I will be home during the week a lot. We also are home pretty much every evening. We both love dogs! I have two dogs back home and both have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. Our apartment area has a really nice spot to walk dogs. I always prioritize safety and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific needs. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for whether I’m in your home, they’re in mine or I’m checking in on them.
About: I have been a vet tech for 14 years now and I absolutely love the work I do. Unfortunately, being a single mother doesn't allow me to fully commit to veterinary clinic hours. I am starting up my own mobile pet service business called Pampered Pet. I provide excellent pet care along with other services such as nail trims, sanitary and paw shave, baths and more. I will give your fur-baby lots of love and attention so you can rest your mind knowing your pet is in great hands. If there happens to be an emergency situation while I am there, I know what steps to take and have veterinarian contacts on hand. I am committed to all my clients and their fur-babies. Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby. I currently run my own business so I will have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and loving they deserve while you are away. We are working on a fence at the moment. Your pup will love playing with my sweet yellow lab. If needed, I can always put my dog in his kennel. I do not foresee that happening though.
“Vanessa does a wonderful job and takes great care with my Great Pyrenees. (Cooper). She is a life saver in that while I am at work she comes by and spends time walking him during the middle of the day. She provides pictures, updates, and looking at them Cooper looks very happy. I would recommend to anyone,”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,570 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rockville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rockville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Rockville.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockville. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
