About: I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for dogs, which means safety, reliability, and attention to detail are always my top priorities. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and providing extra patience and comfort. Having moved here from Philly, I truly miss having a dog of my own, so I treat every pet I care for like family. I’m calm, observant, and dependable, and I’m especially comfortable with routines, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra care or reassurance. Whether it’s walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off where I’m completely available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care.I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. As a nurse, I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I carefully follow all routines and instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s environment clean, calm, and familiar. In my home, pets are supervised, never left unattended for long periods, and kept in a secure, comfortable setting. I use leashes at all times outdoors unless otherwise instructed and avoid dog parks unless explicitly approved. I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“Sasha is absolutely wonderful!! Super easy to work with, flexible, and responsive. She sent the most adorable photos and videos which made being away from my dog a little bit easier. My dog seemed so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I feel really lucky and relieved to have found a great sitter like Sasha- already booked my next boarding! Highly recommend!”
“We were so happy with the care that was given to our pup by Lila. He is an elderly dog and she was so kind and thoughtful to his needs. Added bonus…our guy made a new friend with her pup. We would highly recommend Lila and hope to use her services in the future!”
“Carla was an amazing dog sitter for our 11 year old Goldendoodle Henry. She sent pictures and text updates frequently, created a care plan, and even gave him a bath. I felt confident the entire time that he was in the best hands. I will certainly be looking for Henry to stay with Carla next time we are out of town! If you are looking for a caring person to watch your dog, I highly recommend her. ❤️”
“Charlie was well taken care of and must have felt like we weren’t even gone! She was spoiled by Leigh Ann’s two daughters, just like ours and even came home with a new toy! We would HIGHLY recommend Leigh Ann and her wonderful family!”
“Fran was great with my dog Charm when I was on my cruise she sent updates and pictures and made me feel at ease when I was away . I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their furbay I will use Ms. Fran to care for Charm”
“Thank you Diane for taking such great care of my dog. Charlie is a skittish miniature poodle mix that does not connect with everyone. Diane made her feel at home and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend Diane and we will be using her again.”
“Kathy, her husband Gabe and pup Jasper were so great! Our pup Lou can be shy and they made him feel comfortable and loved. Kathy was super communicative and was wonderful to work with.”
“Richard (Kyler) took great care of our pup, Finn, for the day! He shared updates and photos throughout the day, and was easy to communicate with. We’d definitely have Finn board with him again!”
“Jonathan and Carla did a fantastic job taking care of Lily. We did a meet and greet and our dogs got along great, and Lily is a total extrovert so I was happy that she got to spend the weekend playing with her dog buddies! The cost of boarding was more affordable but by no means less valuable. These guys are a great pick for anyone looking for budget friendly dog care! Thanks again ❤️”
“Amaris was FANTASTIC! I had to book her last minute due to a family emergency, and she was such a great communicator. She also sent me pictures everyday recapping the day and my pup was smiling in all of them. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Amaris!”
“Jennifer is ALWAYS the most wonderful sitter for our aging pup. She is kind, loving, efficient and careful, and always keeps us informed. Bates loves her and so do we! Jennifer is a keeper! She is our #1 go-to for our sweet pup! 🐶❤️”
“Connie was absolutely amazing! She pampered our pup and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Connie is very kind and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Natalie was very responsive and easy to work with. She and Diesel kept Zeus entertained and he came home ready to pass out from all the fun. Zeus can be needy and Natalie did a great job helping him adjust to his new environment. I'll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Natasha was wonderful! She sent pictures almost daily, was very quick updates and with replying and responding. She was flexible and worked with us to accommodate our slightly changed travel schedule. This was only the second time we’ve left our dog and she definitely helped put my mind at ease. She is relaxed and loves to be home and spend time with the dogs under her care. I know our pup appreciated that!”
About: I work from home, but travel too much to have a pet of my own right now, so I’d love to spend my workdays keeping yours company instead! I grew up with dogs and have volunteered and worked at animal shelters in Texas for several years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as fostering litters of kittens and adult cats. I’d love to care for your pets and will give them lots of love and attention...and send LOTS of pictures! 🐾📸 I work fully remote M-F, which gives me plenty of flexibility to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need! I do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and a great communicator. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. For dogs safety specifically, your dog will always be kept on a leash when outside the home, and I will never introduce your dog to another dog while we’re out on walks. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines.
“Alyssa was so great! Sent regular updates with pics/videos and she was so patient with my dog who takes a little time to warm up. Gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away!”
“She did such a great job watching our boy Pickle while we were away. She sent some update photos and kept us informed on how he was adjusting. He came back pooped from a busy week of play. We feel lucky to have found her to take such great care of our favorite little guy!”
“Fallon and RJ were great! They were very responsive and sent pictures of my pup to keep me updated and even did a meet and greet before to see how our pups would get along in their space! Evie loved her time with them and came home and slept all day when I got back from my trip!”
“Nick was great! He communicated in timely manner, very flexible, friendly, and took excellent care of Cooper. We will definitely be using him for all of our future boarding. Highly recommended!”

Mary is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of Winston every time he stays with her. We always know he’s in the best hands, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about him. Winston absolutely loves his time with Mary, and we love the peace of mind that comes with knowing he’s happy, safe, and spoiled with attention. He also loves his girlfriend Stella too.We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Gabrielle is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! If I could give 10 stars I would! She took Smoke on so many fun outings and sent regular pictures and updates. She is super flexible, and she’s an animal lover. Smoke didn’t want to leave her when I picked him up. We will definitely book again!
Tamara and Steven were wonderful dog sitters! They were incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so easy. They kept us updated with regular messages and lots of great photos, so we always knew our pup was happy and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters!
Katherine is amazing! We use her boarding/ pet sitting services every year on a family vacation and she is always communicative, kind, and trustworthy! We don’t leave our dog with any other sitters and we can tell he loves being with her every time we pick him up <3

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Sullivans Island sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sullivans Island landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sullivans Island home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sullivans Island.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sullivans Island sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
