About: Im staying in South Carolina more now, so I’m back to being available. I mostly stay home building a homestead, so I have some spare time. Prior Air Force medic, for 5 years, and would house, dog, and babysit for fellow members and leadership. Also, was a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years. I own three big dogs, an kitten and a tortoise, but have had the responsibility of caretaking for pets since I was young. I can schedule pretty much at any time and am willing to work longer hours, if it is needed. I am very flexible. I prefer not to drive over 40 minutes to a location for drop ins and walks, but can if you are unable to find another sitter closer to your location. I do not allow others pets in my own home due to two of my rescue dogs taking a long time to be comfortable around other dogs. I pay very close attention to the slightest changes in a pets mood and can be very reactive in an emergency situation, if it occurs. I am responsible on walks, I will keep your baby safe and not allow others to interfere with them. I will respect your rules and training that you have for your pet in your home and outside environment.

About: Hi! I'm Esther--your pet's soon-to-be new favorite human I have 3 years of experience working in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I've also spent about a year pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, and other animals in home environments. I'm confident reading animal body language, which helps me understand how they're feeling and respond in a way that keeps them comfortable and respected. My top skills include creating a calm and reassuring environment, using a gentle and patient approach, and always being responsible and safety-focused. I'm kind, empathetic, and attentive, and I always treat every pet like my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to work with a variety of pet-care needs and I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and find a schedule that works best for everyone. When caring for pets in their home, I make their safety and comfort my first priority. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules their owner has provided.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Qais (pronounced Case), owner of The Paw Retreat. Pet care isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s my full-time profession and passion. With me, your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family. That’s exactly how I treat every pup in my care. Services Provided I provide a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where dogs receive plenty of love, exercise, structure, and personalized attention throughout the day. Because pet care is my full-time job, your dog gets consistent supervision, companionship, and care—whether they’re an energetic adventurer or a couch-loving cuddle bug. What You Can Expect 🐾 Full-time pet care provider—your dog gets my full attention 🐾 Daily walks, play sessions, and enrichment activities 🐾 Plenty of toys and interactive food bowls for mental stimulation 🐾 Personalized photo and video updates throughout their stay 🐾 Home full-time—dogs are rarely left alone 🐾 Safe, fenced yard for zoomies and sunbathing 🐾 Experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs 🐾 Complimentary pet cleaning before pickup 🐾 Flexible pickup and drop-off scheduling when possible, including accommodations for delayed flights or changing travel plans with advance notice Peace of Mind I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your dog with someone new. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and excited to come back for their next stay. Whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip, I’ll do my best to accommodate changes to your schedule whenever possible, so you can focus on your travels knowing your dog is in good hands. Let your dog enjoy their own little vacation while you’re away—with peace of mind for you and plenty of tail wags for them! Please note: I host multiple dogs at the same time. I carefully manage each guest to ensure every dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and a safe, enjoyable experience. Additional Care & Scheduling To keep things fair and transparent, additional charges may apply when a stay requires significantly more time, supervision, or specialized care than standard boarding. 🐾 Medication administration: $5/day for routine oral or topical medications. More involved medication administration, including injections or medications requiring significant additional time, may be subject to a higher fee. 🐾 Intact dogs: A $5/day surcharge may apply to unspayed or unneutered dogs due to the additional supervision and management required in a multi-dog home. 🐾 Early/late pickup or drop-off: A $15 fee may apply when arrival or departure falls outside the agreed-upon scheduling window. 🐾 Pickups after 6 pm are subject to an additional overnight boarding fee. 🐾 Last-minute bookings: Bookings requested within 24 hours of drop-off are subject to a $20 last-minute booking fee. 🐾 Daycare over 8 hours: Daycare stays exceeding 8 hours are subject to the regular overnight boarding rate. 🐾 Pickup/drop-off transportation: Transportation may be available by arrangement for an additional fee. I’ll always communicate any applicable additional charges with you before modifying a booking whenever possible. My goal is to keep everything transparent while making sure every dog receives the time and attention they deserve. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I can provide care before and after work and come home at lunch for walks or check-ins. I dedicate my weekends entirely to being at home with pets. I prioritize safety by ensuring a pet-proof environment in my home and following all instructions provided by owners. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and comforting space. I’m reliable and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and have loved them for just as long. I don't have any official experience, but I will love and protect your babies like they're my own. I can also watch reptiles as I have a bearded dragon and a yellow belly slider. I'm currently a stay at home mom for a beautiful boy. I will be doing any pet care while he is at school. 8am-1pm, or later if you really need someone to check on your baby. I will do my best to take care of your animals the same way you would so your pets feel right at home with me. I have a cat with FIV so medication (pills) will not be an issue, and I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve for animals that don't like pills (one of my dogs hates them).

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 11. I’ve cared for dogs from very small to large, and I have never had any issues! My neighbors and family rely on me heavily to care for their pups! I am currently a full-time student at UofSC, but I am very flexible on the weekends and have a fairly open availability during the week!! When I dog sit, I always take the dogs on walks, play with them, give them treats, and snuggle with them! Depending on the animal, I sometimes put them in their crate as well!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I’m currently a registered nurse. I love when the therapy animals come by, probably more than the patients do! I am mostly available on weekends and some days during the week! I am an RN so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m off on weekends and holidays! On days that I do work, I’m off usually around 5pm. I am able to spend as much time needed on drop-in days as your pet needs. I will not rush them to eat or go outside.

About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to providing them with plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and keeping pets comfortable in their usual routines. Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I am a work from home mom and have all the time to play with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in backyard that is fully secure. I also have an air conditioned garage. All pets are welcome to be inside all day long but sometimes they want to play and run and it’s nice to have a cool down spot. All animals are welcome to stay inside all day and night. I am a light sleeper and wake up to let my senior dog, Lola, out at night for bathroom breaks regularly. I am always home and my daughter has been raised and daughter how to be safe and appropriate with new animals. We treat others and their pets with the respect we would want in return.

About: I’ve always loved animals in a way I can’t explain. They are truly a gift and a blessing. Big dogs, small dogs. Female cats, male cats. I don’t descriminate, I love them all the same! They are what make me happiest and being with them; taking care of them; spending time with them is my favorite hobby. Doesn’t matter if they are shy or outgoing; willing to work with them either way! I’m always nice to animals. I believe in giving them the care, Love, and tlc that they truly deserve! Even if that means spoiling them a bit :) I’d be happy to watch your pets; walk them; spend time with them and just be a good helpful hand with them they deserve the best; also have a dog park at my community. I’m currently not doing any other work so my time is open and available ! Book with me and I’ll make sure your pets are happy :) I stay in an apartment : with two cats. Not really looking to do any boarding at this moment in time . Thank you !

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sandy Run is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $17 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,010 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sandy Run. 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 Sandy Run. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Sandy Run after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sandy Run. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
